Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 33 The Beggar with the Golden Bowl [Please vote~]

Beads of sweat slid down Zhishui's forehead. He just came to deliver a meal and couldn't understand why Sima Yi suddenly got angry.

Looking at the thick stack of documents in front of him, Zhishui's scalp tingled, but he didn't dare to refuse at all, so he had to bite the bullet and sit down to read through it carefully.

I watched this all night long.

It was not until the next morning that Sima Yi pushed the door open with the breakfast he had bought and saw Shisui with messy hair.

"What are you doing? You are a ninja after all. You are just reading some documents. I am not asking you to handle government affairs. How come you look so haggard in just one night?"

Sima Yi had a surprised expression on his face. Zhishui's behavior was really ugly. He supported his chin with one hand, grabbed his hair, and had a somewhat ferocious expression on his face.

"Grandpa! Is the Nidaime deliberately trying to trick Madara's ancestors? The Sandaime and Danzo are so wary of us, it must be the Nidaime's instruction, otherwise why would someone like him hand over the police department to us?"

Seeing Sima Yi coming in, Zhishui quickly stood up. The document in his hand had been crumpled by him.

"You came to this conclusion after watching it all night?"

Sima Yi's tone was flat. Shisui was not wrong in his guess, but his focus was wrong. This conclusion was meaningless at the moment.

Shisui was stunned. He looked down at the document again and was about to say something when Sima Yi said, "Sit down and eat something first."

As he spoke, he took the documents from Shisui. As he expected, they were the parts drafted by the second generation regarding the division of interests and powers among the various ethnic groups.

"The police department is an offensive job, and the Uchiha clan has strong personalities. Even if there is no suspicion from the top leaders, they will be rejected by Konoha in the long run."

"Isn't that the Nidaime's doing something bad? It's a pity that our ancestors trusted them so much."

The records about Uchiha Madara are not detailed, so Sima Yi is not in a good position to comment. He just continues, "Although the second generation is narrow-minded, he can be said to have some means. As for Uchiha, he is a beggar holding a golden bowl."

"A beggar with a golden bowl?"

Shisui was puzzled and asked, “The funding for the police department has been cut repeatedly since the third generation, and I recently heard that the daimyo also intends to reduce the funding.

The village will only face more difficult times in the future. I'm afraid that the Jonin Council will once again propose cutting funding for the police department before the New Year.

How can this be considered a golden bowl?"

"Take a closer look at this. What do you think?" Sima Yi did not respond immediately, but picked out a copy from the document and handed it to Shisui.

Shisui took it and looked at it. This was the scope of authority of the Police Department. He had read it several times at night because Sima Yi asked about it yesterday.

The most important of these are the following four points.

The full name of the Police Department is Konoha Guard Department, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Hokage. Its director is inherited by the patriarch of the Uchiha clan. In order to protect the internal stability of Konoha, the Hokage allocates funds and allows them to recruit members on their own.

The Security Department can arrest anyone who affects the internal stability of Konoha without the consent of the Hokage.

The Guard Department can judge the guilt of the arrested person without the interference of the Hokage.

The Guard Department can amend Konoha's laws based on Konoha's current situation to maintain Konoha's internal stability.

After reading these four points, even Sima Yi was a little confused about whether the second generation was narrow-minded or not. He was able to keep the Police Department to trap the Uchiha and teach four disciples who rejected the Uchiha, yet he gave the Uchiha such great power.

He originally thought that the Uchiha family was just a wealthy family that had risen to prominence, but now it was clear that this was a king of a different surname!
But Shisui was completely confused. He had been in Konoha for so long, he knew very well what the Police Department was like. How could a department that was bullied from both sides have any power?
He stared at the document again and again, but still couldn't understand what Sima Yi meant.

"You don't have a keen sense of power. No wonder the Uchiha clan leaders of all generations have such power and have managed the Uchiha clan to this point."

Sima Yi sighed and vaguely guessed what the second generation was thinking. The other party was certain that Uchiha would not use it, and it was such a dangerous move, but the other party had bet right.

"Power? Grandpa, do you mean that the Guard Department has a lot of power?" Seeing Sima Yi's reminder, Shishui hurriedly reconsidered it.

"More than just big, the Guard Department is completely controlled by the Uchiha. It can be said that the Uchiha is the only family besides the Hokage that can openly control the army."

"I understand. It goes without saying that the Hokage, Danzo, has the Root in his hands, so he has the confidence to target us repeatedly!"

Having people in your hands means having power, Shisui felt that he had realized this.

However, what greeted him was not praise, but Sima Yi's disdainful look.

"People like Danzo are just gutter rats. They can still stir up trouble by borrowing the title of Hokage. They are not up to the standard. Compared with the power of Uchiha, they are just fireflies. Why do they attract your attention so much?"

"."

Shisui lowered his head, feeling stupid, and it seemed like that was the case, but he still felt that Danzo was always suppressing the Uchiha.

"You have to understand that there is a world of difference between an army commanded openly and those assassins trained in secret.

The Root only has four classes with 17 people. Of course, with Danzo's personality, there is definitely more than that.

But no matter how many people he secretly trained, they were all dependent on the Hokage and could not be seen in public. As long as he did not have the ability to subvert everything, the Hokage could make him lose everything with just a piece of paper."

Sima Yi was well aware of this, but he didn't say much.

"But the Guard Department is different. Your power comes from yourselves and from justice. The Hokage will never dare to interfere in the internal affairs of the Guard Department easily, otherwise it will cause civil unrest."

"Konohagakure?"

Shisui looked up, it seemed like he had heard this lesson before.

"Yes, with the power of the Hokage, it is easy to crush the Uchiha clan or any other clan, but if it touches the interests of the entire Konoha clan, even the Hokage must give in."

"You have to keep this in mind. This is the basis and limit for us to carry out internal reforms in the future."

"I understand, Grandpa."

Sima Yi nodded, and looked at the last three points with a smile, "As for the last three points, they are the golden bowls given to the Uchiha clan by the Second Generation. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to use them soon.

You must memorize them firmly and wait for the right time, and I will explain them to you one by one."

It’s not that Sima Yi was deliberately keeping the secret, it’s just that time is limited, Shisui still has to go on duty, and he also has to recruit servants.

"All right."

Of course Shisui wanted to listen, but after taking a look at the sky he had no choice but to finish his breakfast in a hurry and then packed up to leave.

"Just leave the things there, I'll deal with them later." Sima Yi took a look and said softly.

"Hehe, thank you grandpa. Oh, by the way, grandpa may not be familiar with the people in the tribe. I will find time to come back and help you later."

"It's okay. I've already talked to Hui about it. He'll come to help me later."

"."

No hehe.
