Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 26 Cao Shuang definitely doesn't believe it
After drinking the porridge, both of them felt much warmer. Shisui put down the bowl with a satisfied look on his face, and then asked, "Teacher, aren't you worried about being noticed by the Konoha high-level officials and plan to come to my place in a few days?"

When Sima Yi was mentioned, he could only smile helplessly.

"Haha, man proposes, God disposes. Yesterday I pretended to be drunk and asked Hui to take me home, but I found that my shabby wooden house had been blown down by the wind because it had not been used for too long. I had to stay at Hui's house for one night.

But living in their house will inevitably restrict my future work, so after thinking about it, I decided to come over. It's also a reason that's not out of place."

"I see. Teacher, please wait here for a moment. I will go and prepare a room for you. I am the only one in this yard. You can stay in any room you want."

Sima Yi had heard about Shisui's family before, but he didn't ask too much. He just said, "There's no rush. Let's talk about what happened yesterday first."

When talking about what happened yesterday, Zhishui felt a little depressed. He had to admit that what Sima Yi said was right and he had indeed overlooked too much.

“Yesterday.”

Shisui started with the conversation between Danzo and the Third Hokage, and recounted the entire process word for word.

"It seems that this Hokage is indeed suspicious of you, but you handled it fairly well. After many attempts, he finally believed you."

Sima Yi was generous in his praise, saying that Shishui's thinking was rare and gave him a sense of accomplishment, although it was still not up to par.

"Ah, I would rather not have these than think that the Third Generation Master would actually be like this."

If it were any other day, Shisui would have burst into tears of gratitude if the Hokage had personally helped him up, but yesterday when he was helped up he only felt extremely awkward.

"Don't worry about it. As the Hokage, it's just his instinct to suppress the powerful. Compared to the Hokage, you should be more wary of that Danzo."

"Danzo!"

Shisui frowned, Danzo's barely concealed dislike for the Uchiha was really giving him a headache.

"The ones who blocked us outside Konoha today were not the Anbu directly under the Hokage, but the Root secretly cultivated by Danzo. This organization has been hiding in the dark and is only loyal to Danzo.

They claim to be hiding in the dark, and they have always acted ruthlessly and unscrupulously to protect Konoha!"

"Protect Konoha?"

Even Sima Yi, a shrewd man, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.

He keeps private soldiers and trains death squads. Do you think he is doing this to protect the country?

Do you ask Cao Shuang whether he believes it?
Sima Yi didn't believe it anyway, after all, that's what he did.

"Why is the teacher laughing?"

Shisui was puzzled and thought carefully about what he had just said, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just remembered some old things. But this Danzo may be of great help in the future."

"Danzo? Help? Can he help us?"

Shisui wanted to not believe it, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that Sima Yi had almost made no mistakes in his judgment, and his face suddenly became very ugly.

"The world is bustling with people, all for profit. There is no absolute hatred between families or forces. It all depends on whether what we propose can move him."

Shisui did not refute. He lowered his head in thought, savoring every word of Sima Yi.

"But that's something to consider later. Right now, such an unstable person really needs to be treated with caution."

On the surface, even the Hokage will follow the rules, but based on Sima Yi's impression of Danzo, it is obvious that the other party is not a person who will follow the rules.

This is very disadvantageous for them.

Shisui raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as torches, and he looked extremely serious, "Don't worry, teacher, I won't let anyone hurt you!"

"I?"

Sima Yi had a strange expression on his face. He looked at Shisui and slowly shook his head, "Don't worry about me. Even if he does anything, he will only come after you."

"Eh?" "Everyone says you are the strongest person in Uchiha now. If we get rid of you, Uchiha will have no one to rely on and will naturally not dare to rebel again. This is not a bad idea."

Dama~
He still had to live to stop Itachi's crazy behavior, how could he die so easily.

"I will be careful and will never let Danzo succeed!"

Sima Yi smiled. A large part of Danzo's actions came from the will of the Hokage, but there was no need to let Shisui know about this for the time being.

"If you have nothing to do these few days, please help me find some books. It would be best if they are about the history of the Uchiha. Of course, it would be even better if they include the history of the Fire Nation and other countries."

"The history of the Uchiha is easy to learn. I'll go find the clan leader later. He must have it. But the history of each country may take some time."

This kind of things are all secrets, so he needs to go to the capital and start with the daimyo's family. Only those nobles may have such a collection of books.

"No rush. There won't be any big moves during this period of time as the New Year is approaching. I can also use this time to walk around Konoha and learn more about it."

"By the way, teacher, please wait for me!"

As Shisui listened, he suddenly remembered something, and he quickly stood up and ran to a cabinet to look for it.

Then he took out two stacks of banknotes and handed them to Sima Yi. "Teacher, you just came to Konoha and you should need something. Here are 200,000 taels. If it is not enough, please tell me. I rarely use these things on weekdays, so I have saved a lot."

“Is this money?”

Sima Yi picked up a piece and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully. It was the first time he saw the currency of this world. Unlike the gold and copper he had imagined, the money here was just a piece of paper.

The banknotes also feature the Konoha logo.

Sima Yi did not refuse, "I happen to be free today, let's go shopping together later."

Mentioning this, Shisui's face showed an embarrassment, he clasped his hands together and said: "I'm sorry, teacher, I have promised Itachi that I will train with him today, so I may not be able to go with you."

"Weasel?"

Sima Yi waved his hand. Shisui's absence would not affect his shopping. He was more curious about Uchiha Itachi.

"The kid holding the child yesterday? I remember you said he was the eldest son of the clan leader?"

"Yes, Itachi is also a genius, the pride of the clan leader's family, with a capacity that ordinary people don't have, and was praised by the Third Hokage as 'a person with the mindset of a Hokage'."

If it were in the past, Shisui would have introduced it proudly, but now his expression was particularly ugly.

"'Capacity', 'the thinking of a Hokage', hahahaha, that kid yesterday looked like he was only six or seven years old."

Sima Yi couldn't help laughing and kept shaking his head, "Although this third generation holds a high position, he is so petty."

It is really not decent to use flattery to deal with a child.

Shisui lowered his head and sighed, "Yes, but judging by the results he should have succeeded."

After that, he told Sima Yi what he saw that day.

Sima Yi's eyes changed. "He was able to exterminate the entire Uchiha clan by himself. It seems that there must be someone helping him behind the scenes."

"It must be Danzo!"

Danzo's constant talk of destroying the Uchiha made Shisui hate him even more.

"Just keep your suspicion. When you come into contact with Itachi, try to change his mindset. Don't always worry about it."

"Teacher, I can do it!"

Sima Yi pondered for a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "If it is impossible, maybe it can be done."
