Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 20 Procedural Correctness
"Justice?"

Shisui's brain was buzzing as he kept repeating this unfamiliar word.

“It’s still a little difficult for you to understand the greater good, so just treat it as a consensus.

Just as you said just now, as a Konoha ninja it is your duty to obey the Hokage. If all Konoha ninjas think so, then the Hokage will truly have the right to command all ninjas.

Even the powerful ninja clans did not dare to openly oppose the orders of the Hokage. This was the prestige and power brought by justice.

Of course, such rights are not unlimited, and the constraints of justice are not permanent. They will gradually disappear as prestige and strength decline.

Until one day, when rituals and music are broken and everything turns upside down, another person will appear to re-establish order and build consensus for justice. "

Sima Yi had witnessed the collapse and reconstruction of imperial power with his own eyes and had some understanding of it, but the history of Konoha was too short, so he did not describe it in detail.

Shisui was stunned, this principle was too profound, it was hard for him to relate to it, so he could only write it down and experience it slowly in the future.

"Please write these things down first. You will have a chance to understand them later."

If there is no chance, it only means that they have failed, and Shisui doesn't need to understand.

"is teacher."

"Next, I will tell you why I let you establish your prestige today."

Shisui was sitting upright, Sima Yi was about to explain when he heard a snap and saw Hui clapped his hands and said immediately: "Uncle Yi, I know, it must be to make everyone believe in Shisui, when we go back we will find a way to make Shisui the Hokage!"

Sima Yi was silent. If you want to say that he was wrong, in fact, each of his statements was right when taken separately. But if you want to say that he was right, the Uchiha clan would be destroyed soon if he continued to do this.

"No, isn't it?"

Seeing Sima Yi remain silent, Hui's momentum suddenly dropped and he suddenly became unconfident.

"Yes and no."

After a long while, Sima Yi replied like this, and then let Uchiha Hui go back first on the pretext of going to bed early.

"Here Hui, I'll spend more time on the road. It doesn't seem appropriate for you two to take classes together for the time being."

"Ahahaha, that's what the teacher said."

Sima Yi didn't think the other party was stupid, but he found that this kind of teaching was somewhat inappropriate, and it was not convenient for Hui to hear the next words for the time being.

“Most of what he said is correct, and your purpose of establishing your authority today is indeed to convince them of you.

However, the target is not outsiders, but those Uchiha clan members!"

Just from this sentence, Shisui's eyes widened instantly and he reacted, "So, teacher, what you mean is that the next target is not the Hokage but the clan leader?"

Sima Yi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he praised: "Yes, this young man is teachable!"

"Did you notice the reactions of your tribe members today on the high platform?"

Shisui nodded, remembering the pairs of Sharingan that opened involuntarily, which was a recognition of him.

"These people will be your confidence, the foundation for you to fight for the position of Hokage in the future.

You must never treat them the same way as outsiders. You must have enough prestige to make them identify with you. Only then can you gain the right to control the Uchiha.

As for outsiders, what you need to do is to show favors and win their hearts."

Shisui frowned, a little embarrassed, "Isn't this a different treatment?"

"This is differential treatment!" Sima Yi did not deny it and said directly: "The Uchiha clan has the same interests as you. They don't need you to deliberately win them over. As long as you have enough prestige and can clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, they will naturally stand on your side and support you.

Unless you are like that ancestor."

The ancestor refers to naturally Uchiha Madara. He saw clearly the future of Uchiha in Konoha, but at that time leaving Konoha was against the interests of all Uchiha, so not many people were willing to stand by his side.

"Same interests?" Shisui's eyes moved, and he suddenly realized.

"Teacher, I understand. Winning over other ninjas is just a means. The ultimate goal is still to make Uchiha better!
This is what you mean by weighing the pros and cons when doing things, and having a long-term vision and clear goals! "

"Hahaha, that's right. Establishing authority is a means, showing kindness is also a means, and all means are for the ultimate goal!" Sima Yi nodded with relief. If he could still remember these things, at least he was a diligent person.

Hearing the praise, Shishui couldn't help but be delighted. After Sima Yi talked for a few more words, he felt sleepy and decided to leave without delaying the class.

After all, health is the capital for success.

The next day, the ninja army set out back to Konoha. More than 400 people set off quickly with light equipment.

This put Sima Yi in a difficult position. Although he could already refine chakra, his training time was too short. The slow speed was one thing, but the most important thing was that he could not sustain it for long. Shisui had no choice but to help buy a horse on the grounds of his old age.

He is a fifty-year-old man, so people were quite understanding and didn't say much.

For several days in a row, Sima Yi traveled on horseback during the day and studied the sealing art at night.

Fortunately, he had been in the army for a long time, so this kind of bumpy ride was nothing to him.

A few days later, Sima Yi finally found time to give Hui a lecture after dinner.

However, they had nothing in their hands, and neither of them was familiar with the history of this place, so they could only explain what Shisui had done during this period one by one.

"That day I was curious about how Shisui became so smart. It turns out that it was all taught by you, Uncle Yi~"

Listening to Sima Yi's talk about Mitomon Masago's collusion with the enemy, Hui suddenly recalled the scene in that meeting where he spoke eloquently and forced the Nara commander to resign Mitomon Masago with just a few words.

"Learn more and think more. I am very optimistic about you!"

"Oh~ Uncle Yi, you have good taste~"

So, five days later, everyone crossed Wuzhen and approached Konoha.

"Teacher, we will be able to reach Konoha tomorrow evening, but there has been no progress on what happened that day. I have a feeling they will not give up."

That night, outside the tent, Sima Yi was explaining to Hui the details of how they had rescued the troops that day. Zhishui came over when he had time, his tone of worry on his face.

"Utane Rikito is Utane Kae's nephew. It's been so many days since her death, but that woman hasn't taken revenge. There's something wrong."

Hui had also witnessed Utane Kae's hatred towards them, and he agreed with this.

Sima Yi chuckled. Although the means used that day were not sophisticated, with Nara Suzaku taking the blame, those small flaws would not have any impact.

"Don't worry. Everything we did that day is well documented. You were just following orders. The ambush of the reinforcements was God's will. What does it have to do with us?

Besides, with your strength and prestige, unless they are willing to tear each other apart, this matter will never appear in the open."

For Hui, he personally went to Nara Suzaku to get the order. The reinforcements were sent to the front line right after he received the withdrawal order. Such a coincidence could easily arouse their suspicion.

But it is only a suspicion. Unless they tear their faces off and search their brains, they will not find any evidence.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are no procedural problems in all their actions!
