Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 171 Wood Release and Hyuga

The technique of resurrecting the dead made Shisui think of a lot.

Having developed the Sharingan to this point, Shisui naturally has many regrets, but he seldom mentions these things to others.

"The second generation was able to create such a ninjutsu. Who does he want to revive? The first generation?"

However, he did not worry too much about it. Whether to use it or not is a matter for the future. The important thing is to take advantage of the opportunity to learn more and improve himself.

Shisui silently recorded all the ninjutsu that might be useful in the future, preparing to take time to practice them slowly.

Shisui turned the scroll to the end, where the Wood Release Ninjutsu was recorded.

There are also records of Wood Release Ninjutsu within the Uchiha clan, but that is not something that can be practiced with just a scroll. The most difficult part of Wood Release is not going from one to one hundred, but from nothing to something.

However, after fusing the cells of the first generation, Orochimaru mentioned the practice of Wood Release, but Shisui never had the time to try it.

Shisui had also heard rumors about Wood Release, and now that he had the opportunity to practice it, he planned to give it a try.

At that moment, he left behind a clone and went straight back to the clan territory.

"Huh? Why did you come back so early today?"

In the study, Yan Shifan looked up and was a little surprised when he saw Zhishui coming back suddenly.

"I'm preparing to practice ninjutsu. There's nothing important going on over there, so I'll leave it to the clone to handle. Sensei, are you writing a letter?"

Shisui explained, then noticed the envelope on the table.

Yan Shifan smiled when he heard this and said, "I haven't seen Sima Gong for a long time. Today I have the opportunity to write a letter to express my longing for him."

This reminded Zhishui that he had never written a letter to Sima Yi.

"By the way, do you still remember Osaka Yusuke?"

Yan Shifan put away the letter and asked.

"Osaka Yusuke?"

Shisui was stunned and frowned slightly, thinking that the name sounded familiar. After reminiscing for a moment, he suddenly showed a hint of enlightenment.

"It's him, the salt merchant."

In the past, Uchiha Hui, under the instigation of Sima Yi, attacked some merchants in the village. Osaka Tomosuke, as the head of the salt merchants in Konoha Village, was naturally targeted. He alone occupied nearly 30% of Konoha's share and could earn 2 million taels every month.

Of course, the most important thing is that this person has another identity.

"Yes, Sima Gong told me before he left that this person is the nephew of the Minister of Finance of the Fire Nation. Although he is not taken seriously, at least they have this relationship."

"The teacher wants to contact the chancellor through this person?"

"That's right. Now there is a rift between the Daimyo and Konoha. The funding will only get smaller and smaller. This is a bad thing, but also a good thing."

"Teacher is right. The relationship between Konoha and the Daimyo is essentially a cooperative one. If he is unwilling to provide sufficient funds, the ninjas in the village will only be more dissatisfied with him. As long as we solve this problem, the Daimyo's influence in Konoha will only become smaller and smaller, and eventually become dispensable."

After listening to Yan Shifan and Sima Yi's stories about dynasty changes, Zhishui no longer had his original loyalty to the emperor.

After getting rid of this mental shackles, Shisui became more and more dissatisfied with the daimyo's behavior.

While they were fighting for their lives outside, this group of nobles were like spectators on a high platform, just enjoying themselves and watching.

So what was the purpose of the sacrifices of the Konoha ninjas?
A big name?
Shisui shook his head. He knew very well that even if other ninja villages invaded the Land of Fire, they would not go to the capital to harm the daimyo.

This will cause dissatisfaction and a sense of crisis among other daimyo.

“Don’t think too much. Unless you are strong enough, you still have to abide by the rules.

When you have accumulated enough strength, the emperor will naturally be the one with the strongest soldiers and horses. His Sima family did this decisively, hahaha~"

Yan Shifan glanced at Zhishui and reminded him casually, then seemed to remember something happy and couldn't help laughing.

"."

"Teacher is right. I will go to practice first. I will leave the clan affairs to you for now."

"Go."

Leaving the study, Shisui took Jinhuo to the backyard.

"Hokage-sama actually has time to guide me in my training today. Hahaha, lucky! When the clan study is over, Yingshu will definitely regret it and cry!"

Jinhuo followed Shisui with great excitement, he hadn't taken them to practice since Shisui became the Hokage, so he certainly had to seize the opportunity now.

Shisui suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he had said before that he would teach them how to practice, but things happened one after another and it was difficult to have free time, so he forgot about it after a long time.

"I'm going to practice some new ninjutsu today. Kinkaku, come spar with me."

"Leave it to me, Hokage-sama!"

Jinhuo grinned and immediately distanced himself from him, Shisui cooperated well and formed the seal of opposition with him.

Jinhuo immediately activated his Sharingan and went all out, quickly forming seals with his hands and spitting out a huge fireball.

Although the fireball is large, it is very condensed, which shows that the control over gold and fire has been greatly improved.

I have been here for a year. Although Shisui has not had much time to teach me, I have never lacked training notes from various masters, including Shisui.

Sima Yi has also been emphasizing the importance of controlling Sharingan in front of Jinhuo and Yingshu. With the help of the Sharingan, Jinhuo has made great progress in controlling his own power.

"Has Jinhuo grown to this point?"

Shisui was somewhat surprised, yet somewhat relieved.

Then he formed seals with his hands, intending to use a new ninjutsu to give Jinhuo a surprise.

"Wooden Escape·Wooden Spindle Wall."

A row of wooden pillars emerged from the soil and bent to form an arch wall that tightly wrapped the water stop. The fireball hit the arch wall and the fireworks scattered immediately, leaving only darkness in front.

"Wood Release? It's Wood Release, right? Did I hear it right? The clan leader actually used Wood Release!"

Looking at the wooden wall in front of him, Jinhuo was stunned.

In Uchiha, Wood Release is as famous as Mangekyō, and almost everyone knows it.

Hearing Jinhuo's exclamation, the wooden pillar slowly retracted, revealing Shisui's figure.

Feeling the defensive power of Wood Release, Shisui shook his head and sighed, "It's my first time using it, and I've only mastered the basics."

Shisui has fused with the cells of the First Generation. With his talent, he can directly use some ninjutsu related to Wood Release as long as it is not particularly difficult, as long as he knows how to perform it.

"Furry?"

Regardless of Jinhuo's shocked expression, Shisui looked up at Jinhuo and gently warned him, "Be careful!"

He clapped his hands and quickly formed seals.

"Wood Release·Wood Clone!"

Eight heads emerged from Shisui's body and then slowly separated.

Jinhuo's eyelids twitched when he saw this, and he immediately formed a seal quickly, "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!"

While Shisui's real body retreated, his eight clones rushed forward with a roar. The three magatama in the eyes of the one in the front instantly turned into a kaleidoscope, and then he summoned a green skeleton, which raised its hand and waved it to break Jinhuo's ninjutsu.

"What? That's cheating!"

Jinhuo felt his scalp tingling. Seeing the eight people rushing up, he hurriedly tried to retreat, but was instantly surrounded by eight Shisui.

Shisui and the others didn't bully him. When they got close, they only used physical skills. Jinhuo was quickly beaten up by the eight men, and he shouted miserably that he surrendered.

Shisui's real body smiled. The wooden clone was indeed strange, but this was not the most powerful part of Wood Release.

He formed a seal again, and the eight clones seemed to sense something and immediately withdrew. Jinhuo was stunned, and then he saw a large number of trees coming out of the soil, and some branches even wrapped around his body.

He quickly drew his knife and chopped it off, but other branches took the opportunity to entangle his body.

"Wait, Patriarch, my chakra!"

Jinhuo wanted to break free, but he soon found that after being entangled by the branches, the chakra in his body quickly flowed towards the branches.

After receiving his chakra, these bare branches began to grow green leaves, sprout new branches, and their binding ability became stronger.

Shisui just wanted to test the power of Wood Release and naturally would not really hurt Kinfire, so seeing this, he immediately withdrew his hand and let Kinfire down.

But even so, in just a few seconds, Jinhuo's chakra was reduced by half.

"Master Patriarch, this Wood Release absorbs chakra too quickly. If it was two seconds slower, I would have been sucked dry."

Feeling weak inside, Jin Huo's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was still frightened when he looked at the trees beside him.

Although Shisui had expected this, he was still surprised when he saw it with his own eyes.

This was only the Sea of ​​Trees Descent, not the World of Trees Descent, and it was Shisui's first time using it. He was afraid of hurting Kinkaku so he didn't use his full strength.

But even so, it has such an effect.

"No wonder they say Wood Release can suppress the Tailed Beasts. The Shodaime is worthy of being the God of the Ninja World. How terrifying!"

After just a simple attempt, Shisui was attracted by the power of Wood Release.

"If you can combine the Mangekyō and Wood Release, what kind of strength will it be?"

Shisui thought of the clone who used Susanoo, and his heart was burning with anger.

"Master Patriarch, it's getting dark. I suddenly remembered that I still have to pick up Yingshu from school. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Seeing the creepy look, Jin Huo's heart skipped a beat. He made a seal of reconciliation and quickly ran away.

Shisui smiled upon seeing this but did not stop him. With Jinhuo's strength, it was indeed inappropriate to use him for sparring.

"Wait for Izayoi."

While Shisui was training, the Hyuga clan also received some news.

"How could Hizashi be so careless?"

Hinata Hiashi looked unhappy. His father, the previous head of the family, and all the people from the various clans had received the news and were now sitting together discussing countermeasures.

"The Godaime is an Uchiha. Will he help us get back Hizashi?"

If it was a ninja from a branch family, they might not pay attention, but this person is the younger brother of the current head of the family and the head of the branch family, and also represents the face of Hyuga.

"How could he be so careless? Even with Jiraiya there, he was captured alive by the Raikage!"

"Now that he's been captured, if we want to save him we have to compromise not only with Kumogakure but also with Uchiha."

Hinata Hiashi listened to these words and secretly clenched his fists. He was now glad that Hizashi was from the branch family, otherwise, with Kumogakure's desire for Byakugan, they would not even have a chance to redeem him.

"Where's Dongyan? Isn't he also on the front line?"

"I'm afraid he's in the defense line of Tianguo. Don't worry about him for now. I got news from outside that Konoha is in financial difficulties. Utane Koharu proposed to the Fifth Hokage that the ninja clans take the initiative to donate some money.

Perhaps we can start from this point. We have to pay anyway. If we take the initiative, we may not have to beg the Fifth Generation to redeem Hiashi. At worst, we can pay for Hiashi."

"In my opinion, there is no need to be so pessimistic. We are fighting for Konoha. The Godaime will never give up Hizashi. Even if we do nothing, he will buy him back."

"That's right. The Hyuga and Uchiha are both powerful families in Konoha, and the Godaime is different from those old guys. It's not unacceptable to discuss it with him."

Everyone was talking about it at once. Hinata Hiashi was still young and strong, and he felt quite uncomfortable hearing everyone buying one thing after another.

But this is the reality, and even though he is the head of the Hyuga clan, he can't make any changes.

"Master, elder, someone from the Zhuanqin clan wants to see you."

Just then, someone came quickly to report, and everyone was stunned and frowned.

"What are the people from the sleeping tribe doing here? Get them out right away!"

Utane Koharu had cheated them before, so naturally everyone was unhappy.

At the critical moment, it was Hinata Hiashi's father who spoke: "Since he is here, let him in."

Although everyone was dissatisfied when they heard this, they still agreed.

Soon, the people from the Rotating Bed Clan came slowly over.

"Did Utane Koharu ask you to come?"

In the past, they would have called them advisors even within the clan, but now that Utane Koharu has lost power, the Hyuga clan's resentment towards the three advisors is no less than that of the Uchiha clan, and the three have suppressed them openly and covertly many times.

"Everyone, please be patient. The consultant asked me to come here just to clear up past misunderstandings." The sleeping clan hurriedly explained, fearing that they would be thrown out.

Hinata Hiashi felt it in his heart and immediately asked, "What does this mean?"

"The consultant already knows that the Hyuga clan leader's brother was captured by the Raikage, and also knows the relationship between the Uchiha and Hyuga clan. I will not elaborate on these.

Konoha is now in financial difficulties and the Raikage is leading a large army to invade. The advisor is concerned about Konoha and wants to raise military funds for it.

If the Hyuga family head is willing to help, the consultant can redeem the Hyuga family head's brother."

"Humph, is she worthy of it?"

Before Hinata Hiashi could speak, an elder couldn't help but sneered: "She thinks she is an advisor, but she is just a third-generation one."

"shut up!"

The old patriarch's face changed and he shouted angrily to stop it.

Hinata Hiashi also glanced at him, and then said: "We are also aware of the situation of the transfer consultant. How can she guarantee that this will be accomplished?"

"Don't worry, Hyuga clan leader. I just said that the consultant sent me here to clear up any misunderstandings, so we will never let the Hyuga clan suffer any loss. If we fail to bring the person back, then the money that Hyuga paid will be counted on Tenne."

"Oh?"

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and then fell into deep thought.

When did that old guy Uta-ne Koharu become so nice? He even returned the money when he didn't get the job done?
Why does it feel so wrong?

"How does the dormitory transfer counselor intend for me to help her?" Hinata Hiashi asked, suppressing his suspicion.

"It won't be too much trouble for Master Hyuga. The consultant plans to gather all the family heads tomorrow to discuss the donation. As long as Master Hyuga donates according to his own ideas, the consultant will not force him to donate."

"It's that simple?"

"Of course, I came here with sincerity, just to eliminate misunderstandings and ease the relationship between the two ethnic groups."

Upon hearing this, Hinata Hiashi's eyes fell on his father and several other elders.

Several elders nodded slightly. Although they couldn't understand Utane Koharu's intention, they were not at a disadvantage.

The old patriarch did vaguely understand the danger, but he already had a plan to deal with it, so he nodded.

After getting the permission, Hinata Hiashi immediately said: "Then please go back and tell the dormitory consultant that we have agreed to her request."

"Thank you, Master Hyuga. The advisor is familiar with Master Jiraiya. Master Jiraiya will not give up on Hyuga Hizashi."

Everyone looked suddenly enlightened upon hearing this.

It turned out that he was asking Jiraiya for help, so they felt relieved.
