Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 32 Historical Materials and Documents

The next morning, Shisui brought over books about the family's past from Patriarch Fugaku.

"Oh? There are so many. The Uchiha clan does have some advantages."

Looking at the family history piled up in front of him, Sima Yi was a little surprised.

Even a studious person like Shisui doesn't read the clan history. In this atmosphere, it's surprising that there are so many records about the Uchiha clan.

"Hehe~"

Shisui smiled innocently. This was the first time he heard Sima Yi praise the Uchiha clan so seriously.

But Sima Yi soon regretted it.

He picked up a book and started flipping through it, and saw.
'I accepted an assassination mission today, but I didn't expect that the other party would hire people from the Senju clan for protection. I was defeated and fled away.

This is a disgrace to the Uchiha clan, I will go back and summon my clansmen to kill them again!'

'Today I called the elders of the family to join in the action. It turned out that the people of the Thousand Hands Clan were no match for us. We successfully killed the target of the mission, but unfortunately the Thousand Hands Clan escaped.

Humph, you dare to confront my Uchiha clan, you are just an ant, you are lucky to run fast.'

"I'm in a bad mood today. When I was on duty, I met that Senju again. This time he also called the elders of the clan. Damn, the evil Senju clan!"

Sima Yi turned page after page with an expressionless face, his movements becoming faster and faster, and then he changed book after book in disbelief.

"Today our clan was attacked. The Uzumaki clan dared to attack us together with the Senju clan. Fortunately, the clan leader returned to the clan in time. Damn Senju and Uzumaki, I will destroy you sooner or later."

'today.'

After a long time, Sima Yi put down the book and sighed.

Is this history?
There are no chronology, no detailed biographies, and not even many important events, except for a very small number of trivial matters.

Even those major events that determine the survival of the family are not recorded in detail. There is only a simple win or loss, followed by a long stream of curses.

Even the number of skipping stones on the water has to be recorded. What’s the point of reading this kind of family history?

"If he leaves his name, I will punish him with eighty strokes of the cane!"

Shisui's neck shrank, and he slowly lowered his head, not daring to ask more questions.

After saying that, Sima Yi sighed again, "Forget it, it's better to have it than nothing. I'll review my studies here in the next few days. Please help me find the relevant records of the various tribes and the documents from the time when Konoha was founded as detailed as possible. I need to learn more."

"Okay, Grandpa. I'll go to the Third Generation's place for duty now. If you need anything else, please let me know when you come back in the evening."

"Go, be careful and don't let him get suspicious."

"Yes."

After Zhishui left, Sima Yi put down his pen and ink and took another look at the piled books. "It's useless to keep these books. It seems I have to sort them out myself."

The biggest purpose of reading history is to learn lessons and avoid repeating the same mistakes, but it is obvious that the Uchiha clan does not have such awareness.

The same mistakes can be repeated over and over again, and the thousand-year inheritance has only enriched their military strength.

Sima Yi flipped through one clan history book after another, found the names of clan leaders of one period after another from fragments, sorted them out, and selected important deeds from the chaotic records to enrich and analyze them.

However, such work was undoubtedly complicated. In the following days, Sima Yi read books and revised history during the day, gave lectures to Zhishui in the evening after he got off work, studied the sealing technique at night, and occasionally took time to teach Hui.

Busy days always pass quickly. After seven days, Sima Yi barely completed the preliminary preparations.

That evening, Shisui came back with dinner. He looked at the history book written by Sima Yi himself and was amazed.

"Grandpa, has the book been edited?"

"This is just a summary. The details have not been written yet. There are still some secrets about the Uchiha clan that have not been recorded."

Shisui nodded and carefully opened it, savoring it.

"In the seventh year of Uchiha Nagase's reign, the Senju clan repeatedly violated the border and attacked the mines. The clan leader personally raised 200 clan soldiers and defeated them."

"Hagami Uchiha? Seven years?"

Shisui had never heard of this name, and it was even more impossible for him to know what happened in the seventh year since he became the clan leader. However, Shisui knew little about the family history and did not care.

"In the twelfth year of Uchiha Nagase, the Senju clan repeatedly obstructed the clan's missions. The emperor was angry and mobilized all the clan soldiers to attack. The Uzumaki clan was despicable and took advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack. The clan suffered heavy losses. Although time had passed, they dared not to mobilize all their forces."

"what?"

As soon as he read the second paragraph, Shisui asked curiously, "Grandpa, why did you jump directly from seven years to twelve years? What about the years in between?"

Sima Yi stopped writing and glanced at the book on the ground, his face full of helplessness, "It's hard enough to find the name.

It is said that the Uchiha has a thousand-year heritage, but even if the books are pieced together, they are less than a hundred years old, and there are so many gaps in between. "

Shisui smiled awkwardly, then put the book down and unfolded a scroll.

With a bang, a pile of books appeared after a puff of white smoke.

"Grandpa, these are the records of the various ethnic groups you requested. The relevant documents of the various departments drafted by the second generation are all here. In addition, I have asked someone to go to the capital to send the history of each country. It will be delivered soon."

"Not bad, put it aside for now, I'll sort it out slowly tomorrow."

Sima Yi took the dinner prepared by Zhishui and said, "I have been busy editing books these days and forgot to hire some servants."

"Grandpa will take charge of these matters. By the way, here is the money I have saved over the years, and I will give it to you for safekeeping."

Shisui pulled out another scroll and handed it to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi did not refuse. Money was needed for compiling books, recruiting servants, or subsequent actions and household operations.

"Tomorrow you can take the book to some elders to have it examined. Perhaps they know something."

The framework has been completed, and once the order of these patriarchs is roughly determined, he can continue to improve the content.

As for the lack of historical materials, that is even less of a problem.

There's none here, and there's none there?
Changing his name and putting on a new skin brought no psychological pressure to Sima Yi.

"Okay, then, Grandpa, you should eat something and rest early."

Knowing that Sima Yi was very busy, Shishui did not insist on continuing the lecture. Instead, he helped him clean up the desk and left.

Another three days passed, and Sima Yi finally had time to put aside the matter of compiling the book and began to read the documents left over from the founding of Konoha.

It took Sima Yi five full hours, from morning to afternoon.

He was silent after he put down the last piece of paperwork, and only raised his head slowly when Shisui pushed the door open.

"grandfather?"

Shisui was holding the food and was stunned when he saw this. Sima Yi seemed to have this expression every time he encountered something strange.

"You've come just in time. Have you read these documents related to Uchiha?"

Shisui shook his head.

"Has anyone in the clan seen it?"

Shisui thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Have you learned about the detailed powers of the Police Department?"

Shisui continued to shake his head.

Knowing nothing about the question, Sima Yi took a deep breath and immediately stood up to take the food, saying expressionlessly: "You just watch here, and leave when you're done!"

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, leaving Shisui standing there in a daze.

After a long moment, Shisui's eyes widened.

"Eh?"

I slept all afternoon today. When I woke up, I felt weak all over, as if I was sleep paralyzed, but also very comfortable. I wonder if you have the same feeling, hey~
