Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

"How does it feel?"

Sima Yi heard Yan Shifan's curious voice, but he closed his eyes and ignored it.

The two clusters of light did not dissipate immediately after pouring into his body. Sima Yi could clearly feel two streams of liquid, one cold and one hot, flowing in his body.

These two energies were constantly strengthening his body and mind, and in an instant his spirit and energy underwent a drastic change.

After the two energies were completely consumed, a piece of information poured into his brain out of nowhere, and Sima Yi opened his eyes.

"Grandpa, your eyes!"

Shisui's delighted expression and Yan Shifan's sour look made Sima Yi realize that his Sharingan must have made considerable progress.

Sima Yi took the mirror he had prepared early in the morning and looked at it carefully.

I saw that the original single magatama had turned into three unknown black patterns connected end to end.

"What a strange pattern, but it's good to be promoted. I didn't expect that one point could turn Grandpa's single magatama into a kaleidoscope. The power of the panel is really terrifying!"

Shisui was a little excited. After opening the Kaleidoscope, Sima Yi would be able to protect himself no matter who he faced, which made him relax a lot.

However, Yan Shifan squinted his eyes and looked at the pattern in Sima Yi's pupils. After a moment, he put his hands behind his back, turned his head to the side, and turned down the corners of his mouth.

Although the pattern was a bit abstract, he recognized it.

Sima Yi noticed Yan Shifan's actions, but he did not say anything. His mood was also somewhat complicated because he also recognized him.

Three elongated horses, connected end to end.

"Grandpa, look at your pupil technique!"

Shisui didn't notice any of this and just asked out of curiosity.

Sima Yi listened carefully and then knew the ability and name of the pupil technique. However, the name was a bit confusing, so he ignored it and briefly summarized it and said, "The pupil technique of the left eye can be regarded as forbearance. When it is activated, it can absorb all damage. When the pupil technique of the right eye is activated, it can return the absorbed damage."

Sima Yi did not fully explain the content of the pupil technique, and his pupil technique was far from as simple as he said.

When activating the Hidden Forbearance, the body will be replaced by an illusion, and all damage will be borne by the illusion. The damage borne will be stored as energy and then poured out from the right eye at once.

Of course, the kaleidoscope has its limits, and the kaleidoscope that is strengthened by points also has its limits. Once the damage sustained by the phantom exceeds the upper limit, it will disappear, and the caster will also suffer great side effects.

Yan Shifan nodded, but he was actually quite disdainful in his heart. He knew with his butt that Sima Yi was definitely not telling the truth.

Shisui's expression was also a little strange, and he suddenly noticed that the content of his panel had changed.

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

Bonus: Divine Longevity (LV1)

Divine Longevity: Lifespan slightly increased; the longer you live, the stronger you become; this effect increases by one level for every year Sima Yi lives. (The bonus comes from Sima Yi.)
Shisui felt that his own strength had changed slightly. The most obvious manifestation was that the amount of chakra and pupil power had increased a little, about half a percent.

"Grandpa, after you strengthened my panel, it also gained some bonuses."

Shisui suppressed his doubts and told the two of them about the changes on the panel.

"This ability seems to have something to do with your grandfather's experience."

Yan Shifan was well-versed in history books and immediately pointed out the key point with a hint of meaning.

Sima Yi ignored Yan Shifan's sarcasm and nodded in approval of the guess. "It seems that after the enhancement, we still have some other uses for you. If there is nothing important, use the points next year to enhance the East Tower first."

Forbearance, explosion, and longevity.

After being reminded by Yan Shifan, Zhishui immediately remembered the stories that Yan Shifan had secretly told him.

"Hahaha, that's great. With such capable help, great things can be accomplished!"

Although the annual bonus is not much, it is a terrifying force accumulated over time, and there will be other bonuses in the future, which makes Shisui quite looking forward to it.

The few of them fantasized for a while and it was late at night. Shisui could only suppress his excitement and go back to rest.

The next morning, Shisui looked at Sima Yi with a head full of black hair and realized something was wrong.

"Grandpa, your hair?"

Sima Yi's hair, which was originally mixed with gray, has turned black again. Although his appearance has not changed, he looks more energetic.

Sima Yi stroked his beard and smiled, saying loudly: "It became like this last night. The strengthening seems to have the power of yin and yang, and there are changes both inside and outside."

"It's amazing!"

After Shisui sighed for a while, seeing that it was getting late, he went to the Hokage Building as usual. Sima Yi called Yingshu, who was about to go to the clan school for training, to the backyard to familiarize himself with his abilities.

"Master Butler, is this really necessary?"

Yingshu looked at Sima Yi, who was wearing sunglasses, with some concern. It was really a pity for the housekeeper to use ninjutsu.
"It's OK as long as it's less powerful. Don't worry."

"Okay, I'll take control!"

Beads of sweat appeared on Yingshu's forehead. This was more stressful than when he fought Itachi in the clan school.

He formed seals with his hands and performed water escape, and a small water ball hit Sima Yi's chest at a slightly faster speed.

The water ball exploded, and Sima Yi stood still, his whole body wet.

"Master Butler, are you okay?"

Yingshu was startled and ran over to check.

Sima Yi shook his head and said soothingly: "It's okay, it's nothing serious, just your clothes are a little wet, it's getting late, you should go to the clan school to practice first."

After confirming several times, Yingshu saw that Sima Yi looked normal and did not look injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief and left.

But in his heart he felt strange about Sima Yi's behavior.

After Yingshu left, Sima Yi just took a light step, and his body twisted slightly, and the water droplets on his clothes disappeared, as if he had never been hit by the water ball.

"I see. The phantom is equivalent to a substitute. The damage suffered has nothing to do with my real body. Is this the power of the Uchiha, or that mysterious power?"

Sima Yi sighed lightly, and then began to try the ability of his right eye. He saw a water ball condense and shoot out in an instant, but the power was weaker than when Yingshu used it.

After Sima Yi got familiar with it, he stopped trying. This power came from nowhere, and he was too lazy to waste his time, so he went straight to the study and began to read the book of sealing techniques he moved from the Barrier Department.

In this way, another month passed, and as the year was coming to an end, there was finally news about Danzo.

The order for Danzo to return to the village had actually been issued nearly two months ago, but Danzo used all kinds of means to delay it. Even with Shisui's secret help, the ninjas from various departments still complained. There were even comments that Danzo had betrayed the village and that someone should be sent to capture him.

This shows how much the ninjas from all walks of life hate Danzo.

Shisui couldn't even imagine how long Danzo could live if one day he was unwilling to protect Danzo.

Danzo seemed to know nothing, and proudly walked in from the gate of Konoha with his army.

After all, they were fighting for the village, so even if they were dissatisfied with Danzo, they could only hold their noses and come to the gate to welcome him. Amid the cheers, Danzo scanned the entire venue, watching the ninjas one by one with a hint of enthusiasm in their eyes.

Then he looked up at the Hokage Rock in the distance. The stone statue of Shisui had already been carved. Looking at the head standing there, a touch of jealousy and disgust surged in his heart.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and went straight to the root.

Shisui was a little surprised when he learned that Danzo did not come to see him. Nara Suzaku and Mito Kado En had different expressions on their faces.

"Danzo must be too tired."

Mito Kado En gave a pale and powerless explanation. Nara Suzaku did not say anything. He vaguely felt that Shisui must have other intentions in keeping Danzo. Even if Danzo's behavior was a bit rude, Shisui would not care.

As expected, Shisui just smiled and said, "The consultant is right. They have been traveling all day, so they should have a good rest."

The matter was left unresolved, but Danzo's return did make the atmosphere in the village even weirder.

"Asshole, what are you doing? I was just about to buy something like this!"

"Ah? But you haven't paid yet."

"What? You are from the Jiuniang clan, right? Do you look down on me?"

On the street, Hui helped Shisui get some documents from the police department, but saw two ninjas arguing in front of a shop.

Hui stopped and approached in confusion.

"You bastard, are you looking for trouble on purpose?"

"What did you say!"

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, the people from the Jiuniang clan began to feel a little embarrassed. The quarrel between the two became louder and louder, and they were about to lose their minds and start fighting. Fortunately, the police arrived in time and took the two away.

Hui scratched his head. Since he also had to go to the police department, he followed the people from the police department and left, and by the way, he found out what had just happened.

The reason for their quarrel was just as trivial as he had heard.

"They almost came to blows over such a small matter. These ninjas are quite temperamental."

Hui didn't know how to describe it. After taking the documents, he returned to the Hokage Building and told Shisui about it.

Shisui felt that things might not be that simple, and immediately called Inahori.

"Hokage-sama, ever since Advisor Danzo came back, there have been more and more ninja fights in the village. I think maybe, no, it must be Danzo's doing!"

Inahiri briefly summarized the incidents that the police department had handled recently and told Shisui about them, and did not hide his disgust when he mentioned Danzo in advance.

Shisui frowned and tapped the table, thinking quietly.

Hui and Daohu looked at each other and then waited silently by the side.

After a moment, Shisui quickly understood the reason based on the recent surveillance of Danzo and the ninjas returning from the Land of Grass.

Danzo was a man of impatient temper, and within a few days of his return he had begun to spread ninjutsu among the Chunins, and deliberately avoided the ninjas from the major and minor clans. This not only allowed the knowledge to be spread differently among the ninjas, but also made their identities more distinct.

The ninjas, who were originally quite harmonious, began to unconsciously distinguish between the ninja clan and civilians, and made their positions clear time and time again.

The conflicts between them are accumulating more and more inadvertently.

Shisui frowned after reading it, things were a little beyond his expectations, this was not what he wanted, at least not now.

"The police department should pay attention recently. If there is a fight between ninjas, they will be taken to prison for forced labor."

"Yes."

"The Anbu should also keep an eye on it. If there are any signs of large-scale conflict, tell me immediately."

"Yes."

This is just the beginning, and the conflicts are still in the accumulation stage. Only a few have erupted. Shisui does not intend to deal with it immediately, but he is not sure whether it is right to do so, so he goes back to ask Sima Yi and Yan Shifan.

"The spread of ninjutsu deliberately avoided the ninja clan. This deliberateness will remind the civilian ninjas again and again of the difference between them and the ninja clan. After this concept is formed, some trivial things in the past will also make them dissatisfied in their hearts, and the accumulation of contradictions will be faster than you think."

"If you let things go, it will help promote the reform of the ninja school in the future, but if you don't handle it well, the conflict may break out prematurely. You have to pay attention at all times."

This matter has both advantages and disadvantages, but Shisui lured Danzo to do this in order to strengthen the civilian ninjas and suppress the ninja clan, and he cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater.

"I understand. I'll keep an eye on it."

Shisui had too many things to pay attention to right now, and it would take some time for the conflict between the civilians and the ninja to break out, so he needed to resolve other things first.

After a few more days, the ninjas gathered in the capital area sent back news one after another.

"As expected, if the knife doesn't cut you, you won't feel the pain. The daimyo and the nobles are not one and the same."

Inside the Hokage building, Shisui sighed after telling the news to Teru and Nara Suzaku.

"I didn't expect the Daimyo to react so quickly. As soon as they showed up, they were chased and killed. It seems that the Daimyo's guards are really strong. Should we support them?"

Those who can become the daimyo's guards are definitely not ordinary people. With their strength, ordinary Chunins have no power to resist. Even the first batch of twelve Jonins are definitely no match for those guards in a one-on-one situation.

"The nobles in Kyoto have also contributed. It seems that they were frightened by the fate of the local nobles. In this situation, sending too few people may be useless, and sending too many people will easily expose them."

"Hokage-sama, let me go, a mere guardian ninja, let them see the power of the Uchiha!"

Hui patted his chest and walked forward confidently.

"inappropriate."

Shisui shook his head. Hui's strength was not top-notch even among the Uchiha. He was not optimistic about Hui.

"I'll let Izayoi help in secret."

Nara Suzaku only knew that Izayoi was on a mission outside, but he didn't know the specific content. However, since Shisui didn't say anything, he didn't want to ask more.

"Izayoi~"

As an Uchiha, Hui has a natural admiration and envy for the Mangekyo, so he naturally had no objection when he heard it.

After dealing with these things, Shisui realized that there were too many things happening recently and he couldn't let everything break out at the same time, which would cause the power he controlled to continue to disperse.

So he found Sima Yi and Yan Shifan again to ask.

"Why bother asking about this? You've been relying too much on Donglou lately."

Unexpectedly, Sima Yi refused to answer and gave Zhishui a lecture. Seeing this, Yan Shifan naturally did not answer and even took the opportunity to laugh at him.

Shisui immediately realized that something was wrong and returned to his bedroom with a red face to reflect on himself.

“At any time, the first thing to do is to clarify the goal, especially to distinguish between means and ends.”

Shisui thought of what Sima Yi had said, and then he sat quietly in his room and began to sort out his actions during this period. After a long time, he made a decision. (End of this chapter)
