Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

"The Land of Water, the Land of Rain, what do they want to do?"

After getting the information, Shisui rubbed his head with a confused look on his face. Instead of licking his wounds at home, these two brothers actually jumped out to cause trouble again.

Let’s not talk about the Water Country for now. It is one of the five major countries after all. Maybe the Daimyo of the Water Country will have a brain cramp and work hard to help the Ninja Kirigakure recover its vitality.

However, the Rain Country was chosen as a battlefield in the Second Ninja World War, and the entire Rain Country was destroyed. It has only been a short time, and it is impossible for it to recover, and now they are actually causing trouble again.

"This, the spies we sent only know the result, but not the reason."

Nara Suzaku said helplessly. He was also having a headache. It was so hard to have peace for a while, but now someone was causing trouble again.

Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to live a peaceful and stable life?
"Send people to keep a close watch. Also, have the ninja troops stationed on both fronts be on high alert. The village must also be prepared in advance. If the situation worsens, we will be ready to reinforce the front line at any time."

"Yes!"

"and many more!"

Just as Nara Suzaku was about to leave, Shisui's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Send a letter to the daimyo in my name, saying that enemy ninjas are gathering at the border, and I hope to block the border and prohibit trade to prevent enemy ninjas from infiltrating."

Nara Suzaku opened his eyes slightly and looked at Shisui in surprise. After he realized what was happening, he nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"

Although the events in the Land of Water and the Land of Rain surprised him, Shisui did not take it to heart. He did not think that the Mizukage and Hanzo would be so irrational as to fight Konoha.

Although Konoha's strength has not yet recovered, it is more than enough to deal with these two guys.

However, he still asked Sima Yi for his opinion.

"It happened suddenly, and it's indeed a bit strange. According to common sense, the two countries shouldn't be so reckless. We should deal with it carefully."

As for the Water Kingdom, Sima Yi had already witnessed their abstract behavior and it was difficult to comment on it.

However, the Rain Country's action was too sudden. A small country rashly assembled troops on the border, which was a very serious provocation.

If the Wind Country was so poor, it would be fine. Maybe something went wrong in the country and they had to come here to beg for money. However, the steel resources in the Rain Country are very rich and they are not poor. This behavior is a bit puzzling.

"Hearing grandpa say this, something is indeed wrong."

Sima Yi's suspicion made Shisui feel a little uneasy. He immediately ordered the Anbu to pass a message to Nara Suzaku, asking him to speed up the action and order the ninjas stationed on the border to be on guard at all times.

But things always develop unexpectedly.

In June of the 52nd year of Konoha, the daimyo rejected Shisui's proposal on the grounds that abruptly closing trade would easily cause dissatisfaction among other countries.

Shisui was considering whether to take the opportunity to send more ninjas to rob the rich and help the poor, when urgent news came from the defense line of Whirlpool Country and the coast of Wave Country at the same time.

"Just five days ago, the Kirigakure army attacked the Whirlpool Country and Wave Country defense lines at night. Most of the ninja troops remaining at the Wave Country defense line were killed. Although the Whirlpool Country defense line was held, it also suffered heavy losses. Seven letters requesting assistance were sent overnight."

Inside the office, upon learning the news, Shisui summoned all the jonin from various departments to discuss the matter.

Danzo and Mito Menen knelt on both sides of Shisui, listening to Nara Suzaku's story in silence.

After hearing the information, everyone looked confused. They didn't understand why the Water Country did this.
It's been less than three years since the war with the Water Nation ended. How much can they recover?

"That's the thing. Although we don't know why Kirigakure wants to start a war, the situation this time is just as dangerous as the battle with Kumogakure. Once we fall into a disadvantage, the countries that have finally calmed down will be ready to make a move. So this time, we must not only defeat Kirigakure, but also do it quickly and ruthlessly!"

Shisui's expression was serious, his tone was heavy, and the faint murderous aura he exuded made everyone pause.

"Please give your orders, Hokage-sama!"

Everyone shouted in unison that the enemy had already reached their doorstep and they had no opinions to express, so they could only fight.

"I have asked the jonin squad to select a leading ninja. The jonin who receives the order will set off immediately without delay."

"Yes!"

"In addition, Hyuga Azuhiko will be the temporary commander and lead 2,000 ninja troops to reinforce the eastern front. Hyuga Hiashi will be the general commander of the eastern front, and Sarutobi Hirano and Uchiha Kyohei will be deputy commanders and lead 5,000 ninja troops to set off on a chosen day. The rest of the arrangements will be based on the notification of the upper ninja team. This battle is related to the future of Konoha. I hope you will work together to overcome the difficulties!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded quickly, and Danzo, who had been sitting nearby, looked a little surprised at Shisui's decisiveness.

"Counselors, do you have anything else to add?"

"Since it is unavoidable, we have no choice but to fight. The Hokage will make the arrangements."

Mitomon En naturally supported it, but Danzo just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

As things were arranged, the Hokage Building began to issue war missions, and with the Hokage's permission, the Jonin Squad also began to mobilize ninjas.

In addition, Shisui issued an order directly without the permission of the daimyo to block the national border on the grounds that war was coming.

Then, in just one morning, the atmosphere in the entire Konoha became somewhat depressing, and the frequent actions of the ninjas also made the Konoha villagers who had been in war for a long time realize something.

In the next few days, every household went to the streets to buy ingredients, intending to make a hearty lunch for their family members who might be away.

The pedestrians on the road lowered their voices, and some even couldn't bear the torture and cried out loud.

"Why is it like this? It's only been a short time since peace began, why do we have to go to war again? Wuwuwu~"

"Can't Hokage-sama stop the war? Must my child die on the battlefield?"

Depressed words and war-weariness spread to every corner of Konoha.

This scene made Shisui, who had just left the Hokage Building, feel a little uncomfortable. He and Hui returned to the clan land in silence.

"Grandpa, the villagers don't want to fight, and I don't want to fight either, but this war is unavoidable, and the villagers' emotions may affect the front line."

Shisui frowned, his tone somewhat helpless, thinking of those people's tears, his heart ached slightly.

"Since ancient times, wars have always required a just cause, but this time Konoha is on the defensive. You don't need to do much, just let the villagers understand why they are fighting."

Sima Yi didn't have a good solution for this. Ninjas were different from soldiers in his previous life. Their lives did not depend on military pay. Their powerful military force allowed them to live well even if they left Konoha.

As for the future, strength is the basic requirement for a ninja to be promoted, and Konoha is just a military town, and a military town with an imperfect system. Even if they really make some significant contributions, there is no way to give them any promotion in position.

The only things that can control them are family, emotions, and bonds.

"What are you fighting for?"

Shisui understood what Sima Yi meant, and then he thought of the Third Generation and his speech at the school. Then his eyes lit up, and he brought people to the Ninja School the next day.

He suddenly gave a speech about protecting family, friends and the village, and told all the teachers and students why they wanted to become ninjas and what the ninjas were fighting for until now.

Apart from the Hokage Building, the Ninja School is the place that the villagers pay the most attention to, and Shisui's speech quickly spread throughout Konoha.

As for the effect, Shisui couldn't say for sure, but the army had to march out. Fortunately, Konoha was not short of money for the time being, and all the necessary supplies were collected quickly. "Hokage-sama."

In the village training ground, Hyuga Touhiko came to Shisui under the protection of several Hyuga ninjas from the branch family.

"The Eastern Front is now in your hands. You must stabilize the situation before the main force arrives."

"Yes!"

In addition to Hyuga Touhiko, Shisui also sent Uchiha Tetsuka and Nara Chiba as deputies to assist.

Shisui looked at them, feeling something in his heart, then slowly bowed and said: "The future of Konoha is in your hands!"

Everyone half-knelt and said yes in unison.

The army set out, and in the crowd, no one knew whose son, whose father, whose husband, they were silent, and with mixed feelings once again ran towards the battlefield.

"Grandpa, when will the war end?"

"A warrior is one who stops war. Only war can end war. Let Konoha become stronger."

Will the war ever end?

Sima Yi was not sure, and he could not give a definite answer, but he knew that even if Shisui completed the unification, the war would not end. But he would not tell Shisui this, at least he could not say it himself, so he could only encourage him.

"Make Konoha strong"

People will have motivation when they have goals. The moment of loss did not make Zhishui sink, he quickly cheered up again.

"Grandpa, how is the group ninjutsu going?"

"The ninjutsu has already been issued, but I am not clear about the training situation of the ninjas in the village, and there has never been a group exercise, so I cannot be sure of the specific situation."

Although Konoha is a military town, there are not many professional soldiers who are away from their missions except at the border.

Realizing this, Sima Yi suggested: "In order to cope with future wars, Konoha's system needs to make some changes."

"Grandpa, please speak."

Shisui immediately perked up and listened carefully.

Sima Yi immediately started by talking about the military system of the pre-Qin period, and then talked about the military system of the Han Dynasty. He pointed out the concept of full-time troops, proposed the military merit system, and then made some further explanations based on the situation of the army under the daimyo.

Shisui had heard related fragments in other stories, but had never heard Sima Yi's detailed introduction. Now, after hearing his detailed account, he could not help but nod his head frequently.

"However, the strength of a ninja is crucial, so these things are not completely applicable to ninjas, and some changes need to be made."

After saying that, Sima Yi gave another reminder to prevent Zhishui from copying it completely.

Shisui naturally understood and nodded repeatedly, "I understand, Grandpa. I will think about it carefully."

Just when Konoha sent a large army to resist Kirigakure, Yan Shifan, who was far away in Kyoto, also received the news.

bang~
"These beasts have caused me so much harm!"

Yan Shifan swept the things on the table, and his sudden action made Shizayoi, who was standing beside him, look confused.

"Elder, it's just Kirigakure, it's not a big deal, why are you so angry?"

Yan Shifan sighed. How could he not be angry when it came to his points?

If the situation worsens, Sima Yi will definitely lead his troops away from Konoha. Without a military advisor by Shisui's side, Sima Yi will definitely suggest that Shisui summon another one. Wouldn't the points used to strengthen him this year be wasted?

"No, absolutely not. We need to speed up."

Yan Shifan muttered to himself in front of Shizai's confused eyes, then he looked at Shizai and asked, "What do those ninjas think?"

Yan Shifan's purpose in setting up the gambling arena is not only to make money, he also wants to take this opportunity to recruit more ninjas to serve him.

"Everyone agreed, but some of them were not of the right identity. I have dealt with them after interrogating them with illusion."

"It's okay. I have almost infiltrated the Daimyo's mansion. Unfortunately, there are too many ninja guards around the Daimyo. Even the young master of the Sarutobi family is here. What does the Third Generation want to do?"

"Do you want to lure the person out, and then..." Izayoi doesn't have a good impression of the Third Generation, and he doesn't like the people of the Sarutobi clan either. He will never show mercy if he takes action.

"Forget it. Since he can come, it must be with Shisui's consent. He is the only one left in the Third Generation. It is better not to provoke him."

The last time he took action was for military power, but there would be no benefit in taking action against Asuma Sarutobi, and it might also make Shisui unhappy, so it's not worth it.

"Then what's next?"

“Haha, since time waits for no one, we can only meet it head-on. Give orders to have the people of East Mountain Road and West Mountain Road get ready.

In addition, spread rumors in the city, saying that the daimyo has no virtue and is a false daimyo, and that Xishan De Chuan Sa is highly respected and is also a descendant of God, so he should be the real daimyo. "

Shizaye scratched his head. Although he didn't understand what Yan Shifan wanted to do, he quickly agreed.

At the same time, the daimyo also learned that Shisui had blocked the border.

But he was not angry. In fact, it was not him who benefited from the border trade, but those nobles. Shisui's behavior would only make those nobles hate Konoha even more. Once the ninjas from all over the country achieved some results, they would be able to balance Konoha for him.

As for the war with the Water Country, it was not within his consideration. That was a war between two ninja villages, and neither the Daimyo of the Water Country nor he would be affected.

"Master Daimyo, something bad has happened. Madam Haruka has fallen down accidentally and is now feeling unwell. She is still talking about you. I hope you can go and see her as soon as possible!"

While he was thinking, a maid suddenly shouted outside. The daimyo, who had been serious at first, suddenly looked upset. He quickly stood up and said with a distressed look on his face: "Oh, what's going on? You can't even protect one person. If anything happens to Haruka, watch out for your heads!"

The daimyo said this before leaving in a hurry, leaving the complaining nobles staring at each other in bewilderment.

"This"

"What do we do now? Without the Daimyo, can the Hokage still take back the order?"

"What else can you do? You have a few ninjas, can you openly go against the Hokage? Let's wait until the Daimyo's affairs are dealt with."

"Oh, this Lady Haruka is really..."

"Be careful!"

Several people were helpless. This Madam Yaoxiang was presented by a minor noble in the capital. She had a unique fragrance on her body, which was pure, elegant and seductive. This strange fragrance could be smelled from more than ten steps away. As soon as she entered the Daming Mansion, she was deeply loved by the daming emperor. Even the minor noble was highly valued by the daming emperor and often went in and out of the daming mansion.

Even the daimyo's wife couldn't do anything to her, so the few of them didn't dare to say much, and left in a hurry after a few words. (End of this chapter)
