Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 181: Raising the Bandits to Respect Oneself
"Hokage-sama, the official business for the past few days has been handled. Please review it."

In the Hokage Building, Nara Suzaku came to the office holding a file half a person's height and said through gritting teeth.

Shisui couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and said with gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work, Suzaku Jonin, I'm glad you helped me, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to adapt to the job of Hokage."

After Yan Shifan's advice, Shisui has now focused on education, military affairs, and finance. He has assigned other trivial matters to other people, but he will check the results every once in a while to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Nara Suzaku was helpless. Although it was a good thing that Shisui trusted him, it was really troublesome to have all the work piled on him. He even wanted to resign.

"You are too kind, Hokage. It is inevitable that I will be criticized if I continue to handle these matters."

How could Shisui not know what Nara Suzaku was thinking, so he waved his hand and said sincerely: "Don't worry too much, Suzaku Jonin. I believe in you and your ability. Konoha is now in order, which proves that my decision is correct."

hiss~
Nara Suzaku was stunned, looking at Shisui's sincere expression, and then said helplessly: "Okay, but if the villagers are dissatisfied, I have told you in advance."

"I trust my own vision."

The two looked at each other and then began to check as usual. Half an hour later, Shisui looked through all the documents, and when he found no problems, he called a clone to stamp them.

"Suzaku-jonin, is there anything else?"

Shisui looked at Nara Suzaku who was reluctant to leave and asked in confusion.

"There are some things that have been piled up for a long time. I just found them this morning when I was sorting out the documents."

"Oh?"

Shisui smiled, and then he noticed that there was something wrong in Nara Suzaku's eyes. This matter was definitely not simple.

After taking the document, Shisui was calm but a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"So it's a jonin review. Oh no, I actually forgot about this!"

In Konoha, or in all ninja villages, jonin have a certain status and can participate in village decision-making and even influence decisions.

Unlike the jonin and the chuunin and genin, there are no so-called exams.

The promotion of jonin is decided by the Konoha high-level officials. They either promote ninjas with good resumes based on their resumes, or directly assign some ninjas to complete an S-level task, and if they perform well, they can be promoted.

But no matter what, if you want to become a real Jonin recognized by Konoha, you need the signature of the Hokage. This is the most special power that the Hokage possesses.

Not only that, the Hokage also has the power to promote people out of turn.

With these powers, the third generation can continue to support civilian ninjas. This means that although the power of the ninja clan far exceeds that of civilians, the number of senior ninjas on both sides is not much different.

Looking at the document, Shisui held his forehead with his hand, but his heart was very calm.

He discussed with Yan Shifan for three days, and finally decided to adopt Yan Shifan's opinion, to win over the Bloodstain Family, win over the civilian ninjas, and suppress the secret ninja clan.

This document contains all the applications for jonin review that have been accumulated since the Third Hokage became seriously ill. There are a total of sixty of them. Of course, most of them were submitted after Shisui became Hokage, and most of them were from the Ninja Clan.

Shisui naturally knew what these people wanted to do, so he simply pretended not to know. Now that he was pointed out, he was not angry, but just looked at Nara Suzaku with some curiosity.

Nara Suzaku had handled this matter several times, so he naturally knew that Shisui was pretending to be ignorant, but there were too many people behind him urging him, so he had to mention it. Seeing Shisui's look, he could only bite the bullet and say awkwardly: "The Hokage is busy with affairs, the third generation fell ill suddenly, and the several consultants rarely asked about it before, so it is normal for them to neglect it for a while.

However, since the Third Hokage became seriously ill, this matter has been delayed for more than half a year, and the Chunin Examination has not been held. If it continues like this, it may affect the stability of the village."

"What Suzaku Jonin said is true. Then bring the information about these people to me. I will consider it carefully. As for the Chunin examination, we will follow the previous rules."

Shisui nodded, and his look of agreement made Nara Suzaku breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes."

After he left, Zhishui looked at the list thoughtfully. That night, he returned to the clan and found Yan Shifan.

"Hahaha, you keep dragging it on, and they can't hold back anymore." Yan Shifan smiled when he heard this, and was quite disdainful of these people.

"Three generations are unwilling to give them too many places, so how can I agree?"

Shisui sighed, and actually began to understand the Third Hokage a little. The Uchiha and these ninja clans were indeed a bit troublesome.

Yan Shifan took the list and flipped through it, then chuckled again, "Sixty people, they are really greedy."

It is difficult to be promoted to a jonin, and the higher-ups will intentionally control the number. Unless there are special reasons and the losses are too great, not too many people will be promoted to a jonin in a year.

“I have already looked at the information of these people. There are thirty-nine people who have carried out S-level missions. Although these ninja clans are a bit greedy, the ninjas on the list are still capable.

It just so happens that I remember that the matter in the Rain Country has not been dealt with yet, so I will send these people to investigate. I will promote those who perform well. As for the others, please help me arrange it, teacher."

The assigned mission counts as a jonin assessment, and if the mission is completed excellently, Shisui naturally cannot refuse.

However, Yan Shifan nodded with satisfaction, because Shisui had actually been operating in secret.

The signs of things happening in the Rain Country had already appeared before Shisui became the clan leader.

In the past, Shisui was preparing to make a military remonstrance. The Third Hokage was worried that the Uchiha clan members in the Anbu would see something, so he sent them to the Rain Country to carry out the mission. After Shisui became the clan leader, he learned that the eight Uchiha En not only failed in the mission, but also almost died in the Rain Country.

Shisui also used this opportunity to form a selection team and control the elders.

"Don't worry, I'll choose carefully."

Yan Shifan had a good grasp on this kind of small matter. The next day, he gathered these people together, and then used some tricks to make most of the ninjas in the ninja clan draw more difficult tasks. Moreover, they were drawn in person, and no one had anything to say.

If they can complete the task under such circumstances, then Shisui will have nothing to say, and he will naturally agree to this jonin's request.

After the mission was assigned, all parties were obviously much more obedient, but the preparations for the Chunin exams were still ongoing and would require some real time.

During this period, Shisui received two good news. One was that the Raikage in the north had not found any chance after struggling for more than half a month, and had lost a lot of money. The logistics could not hold up, so he had to lead the army to evacuate first.

A small group was left at the entrance to the Land of Lightning to monitor the situation inside the Land of Hot Spring.

Jiraiya then wrote a letter to Shisui, planning to return first and hand over the army to Sima Yi.

Jiraiya acted quickly and returned to Konoha just a few days after receiving Shisui's reply.

"Jiraiya-senpai, thank you for your hard work. Fortunately, you are in charge of the defense line of Yuno no Namiya, otherwise the situation in Konoha would be really unpredictable."

In the Hokage's office, Jiraiya laughed. He looked at Shisui carefully. Even after so long, he still couldn't believe that this little Uchiha guy could become Hokage.

"We were able to defeat the Yunyin army thanks to your grandfather, Mr. Yi. I didn't play a big role."

"As the commander-in-chief, Senior Jiraiya is undoubtedly the one who deserves the most credit. Now that I have just become the Hokage, I am not very confident. Senior Jiraiya is back in the village this time. Why don't you come to the Hokage Building to help me? I can feel more relaxed."

Jiraiya was stunned, then waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no, I came back just to see Naruto. I will leave Konoha in a few days to continue collecting materials to complete my book." Shisui immediately stood up and tried to persuade him to stay, "Jiraiya-sama, you are leaving right after you arrived? Konoha still needs you. I would like to ask Jiraiya-sama to stay as a consultant!"

"Hahaha, forget it. I can't stay here. But if there's any danger in Konoha, you can contact me. That's it. I'm leaving first."

Jiraiya naturally didn't want to stay, so he just laughed it off and ran away.

Shisui's eyes moved slightly when he saw this, and he relaxed.

It would certainly be good for Konoha if Jiraiya stayed, but not necessarily for Shisui. He was just being polite because there were some people he had to deal with.

"Senior Jiraiya is back, and the army has fallen into Grandpa's hands. I need to ask Grandpa what he thinks."

The Kumogakure has withdrawn its troops, so naturally, the Tang Kingdom cannot continue to leave so many troops on the defense line, otherwise the military expenditure will be a huge expense. However, Sima Yi is preparing to train troops, so he has to discuss with Sima Yi how many troops should be left behind.

After thinking for a moment, Shisui wrote a letter himself, and then called the Anbu to deliver it.

Then, news came from the ninja school in Hulu Valley in the west.

Originally, it was planned that 272 out of 182 full-month students would successfully refine chakra within one month and stay in the academy, while 804 out of 241 half-month students would successfully refine chakra within half a month.

These were people sent by the nobles, and the testing fee for both of them totaled 6740 million taels.

From now on, 423 students will be the first batch of students in Xihedao. For this, the nobles need to pay an additional training fee of million taels every year, which must be paid in one lump sum.

This money will not only be used to train the people sent by the nobles, but also to train the students adopted by the Uchiha themselves.

There are a total of 300 students adopted in the backyard, and 221 of them successfully extracted chakra within one month.

The rest had their memories wiped and were sent back.

"One billion taels!"

Shishui was completely stunned when he saw the number, but Yan Shifan was very calm.

Because the letters were delivered through him, and basically all matters within the clan were handled through him.

"It's only 1 billion taels. On average, it's less than 100 million taels per month. Why are you so surprised?"

".Forehead"

Shisui was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. After calculating it this way, it was indeed not much.

“Right now, the nobles in Xihedao don’t trust us too much. This money is just a test from them. If the results of our training can satisfy them, there will definitely be a lot of students in the next batch. Once our people are familiar with the process, we can do it together in other remote areas.

But we have to take some preventive measures before these students graduate, so that those guys won’t turn against us.”

Yan Shifan knew these people too well. There was never a shortage of jealous nobles or ambitious people in the world.

"Don't worry, teacher. No matter who it is, if they dare to attack me, I will not hold back. I will kill them to scare the others and deter others!"

Shisui's eyes narrowed slightly, his murderous intent undisguised.

Yan Shifan shook his head, with a slant at the corner of his mouth.

"No, I mean to tamper with the students, but I don't want the nobles to know about it. Not only that, I also want some people to take the initiative to attack the academy."

Shisui thought for a moment and then said, "Teacher, what you mean is, lure the snake out of its hole and then suppress it?"

"That's only half right. I just happen to have a good idea to help Konoha make money, so I'll take this opportunity to tell you about it."

"Oh? Please tell me, teacher!" Shisui stood up and immediately became interested.

Yan Shifan laughed and then asked, "Tell me, if they attack the academy in Hulu Mountain, can you win?"

"Of course it's impossible. Although there aren't many ninjas at the academy, we can transfer people from Konoha, or even have Uncle Fugaku take charge. They will arrive within a few days. It will definitely not be a problem for the people over there to hold out for a few days with the help of the barrier. Besides, only Yamazaki Takudai knows the location of the ninja school, and he definitely wouldn't dare tell those people."

Now that Shisui has become the Hokage, Yamazaki Takudai knows in his heart that the nature of the academy has changed. Even if there is no guardian ninja by his side, he dare not say a word.

"That's right. They can't win, but they don't know that we are behind the academy. Tell me, who should they ask for help when they encounter this kind of ninja problem?"

"Looking for us?"

Shisui said, then suddenly realized.

"They can only ask Konoha for help to deal with the academy. We can use this to get a lot of money from them!"

"Haha, look at you, you're anxious again!"

Yan Shifan shook his head, feeling somewhat resentful that he did not fight back.

Shisui was stunned, not knowing what went wrong.

"You're not wrong, but you're still too shortsighted. It's just West River Road, a poor and remote place. How much money can those nobles have? Besides, there are all kinds of people there, so it's inevitable that there will be some ruthless characters, or some desperate criminals who will attack the academy. The teachers in the academy are all from the clan, and the death of one of them is a loss."

"What does the teacher mean?"

“Haha, the Fire Nation is located in the center of the country, with so many rich lands and hundreds of wealthy nobles. Kyoto has been living in peace for too long.

It just so happens that the village is in need of quests, so why don’t we just go all out and see if those nobles can sit still.”

Yan Shifan gave a wicked smile, and Zhishui was shocked. An unimaginable path appeared before him.

"If the Daimyo finds out about this, there will be more than just Konoha ninja organizations in the Land of Fire."

In addition to Konoha, there are also some small villages in the Land of Fire.

However, these small villages can generally only take care of a few surrounding small villages or towns.

Whenever there is a slightly bigger problem, they always go to Konoha. They are not qualified to compete with Konoha, so Konoha never pays any attention to them.

But those nobles still have access to large organizations like the Fire Temple, which are quite powerful and can solve many problems.

"Hmph, then let's hire someone to clean up these places so they don't have a choice! As for the Daimyo, let's start finding him something to do."

Upon hearing this, Shisui nodded in agreement after just a slight hesitation. After all, nine out of ten of those nobles were not good people, and the remaining ones were not even worthy of being called human beings.

"It's not too late, start preparing now!"

They actually said I was drunk, it’s so funny. I’m very energetic now and can drive an electric car without using my hands. The one who vomited was really drunk.

Look, I came back at twelve o'clock, and it's only one o'clock now. I haven't even taken a nap but I have finished writing more than two thousand words. I am so fast. They are all Karami. But this wine is really unpalatable, not as good as Coke. Everyone should drink in moderation. If not, just drink Sprite.
