Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

"Hokage-sama, these are the expenses for September."

"Hokage-sama, this is border movement."

"Hokage-sama, this is a letter from Noble XX, and it contains a mission commission from Noble XX."

Sima Yi's return had no impact on the entire Konoha. The villagers continued with their lives, and the ninjas wandered between training, commissions and life every day.

The stable life in the past year has brought one newborn after another. Looking at the statistics, Shisui smiled with relief.

"I finally came back, but you didn't let me have any free time at all."

On the street, Hui, who replaced Izayoi as the captain of the Anbu, followed Shisui and spoke in a very dissatisfied tone.

"Hahaha, sorry, Brother Hui is someone I trust."

"Oh, really, there's nothing I can do about you."

The two chatted and laughed, and left the Hokage building to patrol various places in Konoha, or to relax.

"Over there, you can't discharge sewage here. True youth should be about running around Konoha fifty times with a bucket!"

A man with a bowl-shaped head and wearing police uniform stopped an old man who was dumping wastewater on the street.

"Um, could it be Might Guy?"

Hui pointed at the watermelon-headed ninja with a slight twitch in his mouth, and turned his head to look at Shisui.

"Yes, Kai has joined the police department. He came in last year when the police department expanded." Shisui explained with a smile, and then praised: "Look, how energetic he is. The police department should be like this, full of enthusiasm."

"."

The old man looked at the waste bucket in his hand and ran away quickly.

Kai didn't do anything when he saw this, but just followed him and muttered to himself.

"Do you want to live up to your youth? Do you want to betray your will of fire? Do you want to cool your blood? Take your wooden barrel and run around Konoha with me fifty times. If you can't do it, let's do frog jumps 100,000 times!"

The old man turned pale, and Kai's teammates quickly pulled Kai back and whispered, "He's just an ordinary man. He could get killed if he did that."

After that, he cleared his throat and said, "Old sir, if you dump sewage in a place other than the designated place, you will be fined five hundred taels. Since this is your first offense, clean it up here. Otherwise, go jogging with him!"

The old man couldn't stand this kind of torture. After being threatened, he quickly took the tools and started cleaning.

Hui, who was far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but gasp and sighed: "This guy is not suitable for the police department, but for the root."

Water stop
The two did not go over to disturb them, but continued to stroll, from the inside to the outside, stopping and walking on each street.

"Is that the Kurama family's gallery? Has the store become so big? It was still very small the last time I came here. I thought they were going to close down! Hey, I remember there was a store next to it. It seems that it has been acquired. The Kurama family is still quite capable."

On the Ninja Equipment Street, Hui saw a familiar shop and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Kurama family?"

Shisui also took a look. Although the gallery was large, it did not focus on selling paintings. Instead, it was mainly engaged in the business of the shop next door.

As for the shop next door, Shisui remembered that it used to be the shop of the Tsunetani family.

"Hey~ Isn't the shop across the street selling detonating tags from the Sarutobi clan? How come it's from another clan? Whose clan emblem is this?"

Facing Hui's doubts, Shisui smiled and told Hui about the explosion of the detonating talisman and the closure of Sarutobi's shop. Now the ownership of this shop is in the hands of Uchiha. As for the family emblem on the shop, it belongs to a small family. Yan Shifan gave the management rights to this small family and only took money every month.

"Hehe, well done, this should have been done a long time ago. How dare the Sarutobi clan steal our business from the Uchiha clan? I've been annoyed with them for a long time."

Hui said with a gloating look, and Shisui didn't stop him, and the two of them walked out.

"This is the mutton soup restaurant. It's almost noon. Do you want to go in and have a bowl?"

When they reached the edge of the inner district, Hui pointed at a shop on the street and suddenly said.

"Then go ahead and eat something."

Shisui agreed, and the two of them walked straight into the store.

"Madam, do you have any soup left? Two bowls, please."

"Yes, please take a seat." The woman didn't recognize Hui because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was even harder to recognize Shisui because he was wearing a mask.

Shisui drank his soup while looking at the villagers passing by.

One year after the war, the village was recovering rapidly, with villagers and foreign businessmen coming and going in an endless stream, presenting a thriving scene.

"It's hot. I feel much better after eating it." Hui breathed a sigh of relief, looking satisfied.

"Life in the camp is indeed far worse than in the village."

Although they would not go hungry with the ration pills, they tasted mediocre and could not be eaten all the time. The ninja army still needed regular food to replenish their bodies, but most of the time the conditions were limited and it was difficult to have hot soup and hot meals every day.

"Let's go and have a look somewhere else."

Seeing that Shisui had also finished eating, Hui immediately stood up to pay.

"Two of you, 140 taels in total."

Shisui silently noted down the price, and the two of them went to the periphery.

There are many more traveling merchants outside Konoha, and a large number of new houses are springing up, making the originally remote southwestern region much more lively.

Some of these people were influenced by the new ninja school selection policy, and hoped to stay here for three years to achieve a class change in their family.

Another part, influenced by the tax reduction policy, plans to develop here for a long time.

Commercial taxes accounted for a small proportion of Konoha's income, and Shisui knew the complexity of commercial taxes early on, so he simply reduced them again and again. It would not be too late to make changes after he dealt with the ninja clan.

"Why are they all so crowded over there?"

The number of pedestrians on the road suddenly decreased as if there were no pedestrians at all. The two looked against the flow of people and saw a few carriages parked in front of them, blocking the road.

slap~
At this moment, the whip was swung, and the sudden sound of breaking through the air made passers-by stop and look.

Shisui and Teru also stopped and looked towards a four-horse carriage to the east of Konoha.

I saw a young man in gorgeous clothes snatching the whip from the coachman and then whipping a traveling merchant hard.

The merchant looked strong, but he dared not resist the young man at all. He could only lie on the ground with his head in his hands to protect himself.

The guards standing on both sides of the sturdy merchant wanted to step forward to help, but were pinned to the ground in an instant by the guards brought by the young man.

"Ninja."

Hui frowned and saw the situation of the two guards at a glance.

Shisui was wearing a mask so his expression couldn't be seen. He just waved his hand. The ninja who was secretly guarding him understood and immediately headed towards the police department.

"Damn you bastard, how dare you talk back!"

The young man was beating and cursing at the same time, his expression was somewhat ferocious, and the onlookers began to talk about it when they saw this.

"What happened here, and why is this teenager so angry?"

"No matter how angry you are, you can't do this. Someone is going to die!" "Shh, keep your voice down. That man is obviously a nobleman. Don't let anyone hear us."

The discussion was very noisy, but Shisui and the others still got the general idea of ​​the situation.

There was no doubt that the young man was a noble. Because many merchants had moved to Konoha recently, the roads were a bit crowded and carriages had to queue up to enter and exit.

The noble boy seemed to be impatient to wait, so he cut in line. The sturdy businessman was dissatisfied with the boy's behavior and complained about it, so he was beaten by him.

The matter is already clear, there is no twist or hidden secret, so there is nothing more to say.

The police arrived at the right time, Shisui signaled with his eyes, and the boy was knocked unconscious and carried away before he could introduce himself.

"Police department, put down your weapons immediately!"

The boy's escort consisted of two ninjas and six samurai.

When the two ninjas saw the police department appear, they subconsciously retreated, while the six samurai saw that the police department knocked their master unconscious and subconsciously drew their swords and wanted to attack.

"Stop, put down your weapons!"

Feeling the murderous aura gradually spreading, the two ninjas couldn't help but break out in sweat on their foreheads and their breathing became rapid. They quickly scolded the six people.

The six men were frightened and dropped their weapons.

"Hmph, take it away!"

Including the strong merchant, all ten people were taken away by the police. The carriages blocking the road were quickly cleared away and the road returned to normal.

Shisui looked along the flow of traffic and noticed that behind the four carriages there were many other carriages of the same specifications.

"Go back first."

Shisui realized something was wrong and hurried back to the Hokage Building to call Nara Suzaku.

"Have many nobles come to Konoha recently?"

Nara Suzaku was stunned, then immediately brought a pile of documents and said, "A lot. Except for Kyoto and Saikawa, nobles from all the provinces have come to Konoha for refuge."

"Escape?"

"That's right. Right now, there are bandits everywhere. Some places have great nobles. They contribute money and manpower to gather the power of the smaller nobles to clear out or drive away the bandits.

But in some rural areas, the local nobles are weak, and even if they gather guards, they can hardly defeat the bandits, so they can only send people to entrust the task, but we have always been very cautious about such bandit suppression tasks."

After being reminded by Nara Suzaku, Shisui finally remembered the reason.

"Just 100 Chunins, but the impact is so huge."

"Hokage, although one hundred Chunins are not many, they only picked rural landlords. These local forces are mediocre in strength and can be easily dealt with before finding the next target. However, their network of relationships is huge, and if one family gets into trouble, the nobles in the surrounding towns will soon know about it.

The news spread quickly and the encirclement and suppression came quickly. Our people could only flee far away and look for targets elsewhere. As a result, within a few months, news of the bandits spread almost everywhere in the country.

After hearing the news, some nobles took the initiative to gather ninjas and samurai to suppress the bandits. However, the first batch of ninjas we sent also took action in secret. After their suppression failed, they were afraid of retaliation, so they sent some of their descendants to Konoha and some to Kyoto, mainly to preserve the family heritage. "

Hearing this, Shisui looked at the documents organized by Nara Suzaku, and then asked, "What about the Daimyo? Still no movement?"

"No, I got some information. When the nobles saw that we had not accepted the clearing mission, they informed the daimyo, but the daimyo has not responded yet."

"It wouldn't hurt unless the knife hit your body. But the nobles from various provinces reacted violently."

After a few months, the nobles in various places began to feel that something was wrong. News of the bandits came too frequently, and they were impossible to eradicate. No matter how many people they killed, these bandits would always come back again.

The most important thing is that these people are too bold. They actually dare to attack the nobles. They cannot let these bandits go no matter what.

With them taking the lead, the ninjas sent by Shisui were under increasing pressure.

"Reduce the pressure in various places and concentrate it on the capital."

Nara Suzaku understood Shisui's meaning, and immediately took over all the backlog of clearing tasks, and then immediately arranged for the team to carry out the work.

Half a month passed in a flash, and the nobles who had been ready to fight and face death suddenly discovered that Konoha had cleared out the bandits in various places at lightning speed, and the cleanup was exceptionally thorough.

"This money is not wasted at last!"

The bandits were completely wiped out and they breathed a sigh of relief.

In secret, two groups of ninjas were converging towards the capital under cover.

In order not to attract attention, Shisui followed Yan Shifan's advice and spread a message in the country.

"In order to help suppress bandits in various places, Konoha has mobilized too many ninjas, resulting in loopholes in border defense. Some ninjas from enemy countries have sneaked into the Land of Fire through border trade."

Shisui sent this message to Kyoto and asked the daimyo to order the severance of border trade, especially in the direction of the Land of Rain and the Land of Hot Spring.

However, it was quickly rejected by some nobles and daimyo.

Shisui was not surprised, and took this opportunity to dispatch some ninjas to lurk in various regions.

Time passed quickly and it was the end of October. At Shisui's house, the three of them sat quietly in the study.

Yan Shifan said: "Border trade is a powerful tool to get rid of the daimyo's economic control. We must control it at all costs."

"It all depends on how the daimyo handles this issue and whether the nobles agree with him."

"With grandpa and teacher here, I have nothing to worry about!"

Shisui sighed and adjusted his expression and said seriously: "I have the help of grandpa and teacher, so I can do anything. So I don't plan to use the points this year to summon military advisors. And I have promised grandpa before that this time the points will be used to help grandpa strengthen himself. Please forgive me, teacher."

Feeling the changes in the panel data, Shisui spoke without hesitation and explained the reasons.

He would not let Sima Yi speak about this matter so as not to affect their relationship.

Yan Shifan had known this would happen, and although he still felt a little sour, he could accept it.

"I'm not that serious yet, don't worry."

Shishui breathed a sigh of relief, but Sima Yi chuckled and said to Shishui: "I have already discussed this with Donglou. Doesn't it make Donglou look narrow-minded if you say this? Shouldn't the disciple be punished for not knowing the master?"

Shisui blushed and quickly bowed to apologize, "It was my student's ignorance, I hope the teacher will punish me!"

"Okay, let's put the punishment aside for now. The points should have been reached by now. Let's just strengthen it. Let me see what happens."

Yan Shifan was very pleased with Zhishui's attitude; he just waved his hand and didn't bother to argue.

Shisui nodded and immediately called up the panel.

Score: 1
Military Advisor: Sima Yi (Enhancement Times: 0), Yan Shifan (Enhancement Times: 0)

Shisui's mind moved, and the points returned to zero again.

In an instant, a strange light burst out from Sima Yi's body from inside out.

The light is so bright that you cannot look at it directly.

Zhishui and Yan Shifan only felt a flash of white light before their eyes, and then they lost their vision. When they recovered, they saw two clusters of black and white light surrounding Sima Yi from bottom to top. After a moment, they merged into his body and disappeared.

"How does it feel?" (End of this chapter)
