Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 37 No class today [Please vote~]

Shisui's tone was cold, and the three magatama turned slowly. His face was calm as water, yet concealed a turbulent storm, as if he was about to draw his knife and kill someone in the next moment.

Sima Yi was surprised, it was the first time he saw Shisui lose his composure like that. Fortunately, Shisui still had some rationality and the murderous intent did not affect him.

Jinhuo prostrated himself on the ground, his breathing almost stagnating as he faced the terrifying murderous intent.

In all his years on the battlefield, he had never faced such a strong man.

"Yes, the village and the tribe were not able to fully pay out the compensation. Grandma Qianxia only received 400,000 taels. This amount of money was not enough to help Yingshu continue his training, so she sewed cloth shoes and sold them to make a living."

Shisui closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

After a long time, he restrained his breath and looked at Sima Yi opposite him.

Sima Yi was calm except for being somewhat surprised by Shishui's loss of composure. Even hearing such news did not affect him in the slightest.

"My original intention of recruiting servants is for these clansmen with difficult family conditions. Since he meets the requirements, let him come with you tomorrow."

The murderous intent dissipated, allowing Jinhuo to catch his breath, and Shisui's promise also made the huge stone in his heart finally fall.

"Thank you, Lord Shisui. Eiki and I will definitely protect this place for Lord Shisui, in the name of the Uchiha."

Jinhuo was excited and his eyes were a little moist.

"Then the safety of this family will be in your hands from now on." Shisui's expression became gentle again, as if nothing had happened. He spoke softly, which made Jinhuo even more excited.

"Yes!"

After Jinhuo left, Xuehua and Meihua also retreated to prepare a bath for Shisui.

"grandfather."

There were only two people left in the hall, and Shisui's voice became choked, unable to hide the grief in his heart.

He lowered his head, and the tears fell on the back of his hand, bringing a hint of warmth.

He was angry, in pain, guilty, murderous and aggrieved. He couldn't understand why it had come to this.
Sima Yi stood up and walked to Zhishui, stroked his short hair and sighed: "You can cry, I will help you solve your problems, but if they cry, who can they turn to?"

A light sigh was like a steel knife piercing Shisui's heart, making it difficult for him to control himself.

He lowered his head and his body trembled slightly, and it took a long time for him to calm down.

"Grandpa, you're right. They have nowhere to cry to. I must be their support!"

He hadn't expected that those people he longed to protect, those who followed him to protect Konoha, had actually been ignored by him all along.

"Only virtuous and virtuous people can obey others."

Sima Yi stroked his long beard, stood up, sighed softly, then turned and left.

"No classes today, take a good rest."

No classes?
Shisui clenched his fists as he watched Sima Yi's departing back.

He personally felt the other party's good intentions. He would always have some unrealistic fantasies about things that he had not seen with his own eyes.

This is true for the Third Generation and the Uchiha as well.

"Master Shisui, the bath water is ready, please take a bath."

While he was thinking, Snow Flower and Plum Blossom came slowly and knelt quietly outside the door.

Shisui stood up and didn't refuse.

Late at night, at the root camp.

Danzo became furious when he looked at this year's financial report and the notice of budget cuts for next year that he received from the Third Hokage.

"Damn it, without the Root how can we contain the Uchiha? Without the Root who will protect Konoha!"

The underground secret room was silent, and his roar received no response.

After a long while, he tore up the report and read through the various experimental reports and the surveillance results of the Uchiha clan's territory as usual.

Suddenly, a familiar name came into view.

"Did Uchiha Shisui recruit some servants today?"

With Uchiha Shisui's reputation and status, he could certainly recruit servants, but Danzo looked at the report in his hand with his eyes lowered.

"He has been alone for so many years, why does he suddenly want to recruit servants? Go and check what happened to him." For a dangerous person like Uchiha Shisui, any slight movement is enough to arouse his vigilance.

The order was given and a figure disappeared silently.

In just over ten minutes, a piece of information was delivered to Danzo.

'Uchiha Yi, 52 years old, Genin, has not awakened the Sharingan.

He has never been married, has no children, and has been alone for many years. He only has one person, Uchiha Issei, who was once his comrade-in-arms, and they occasionally come into contact.

He participated in the Second and Third Ninja World Wars and survived both times.

His house was blown down by the wind, and he is now temporarily living in Uchiha Shisui's house.'

The information also included a photo of Uchiha Yi, and just one look at it made Danzo feel vaguely uncomfortable.

"Humph, he's just a Genin, and he hasn't opened his Sharingan yet even though he's over fifty years old. It seems like he's just a piece of trash with a strange look. This kind of person actually survived the Ninja War twice. The Uchiha people are really sinister and cunning!"

As he said that, Danzo threw aside Uchiha Yi's information and ordered: "Keep an eye on Uchiha Shisui and that old man. If they make any moves, inform me immediately."

Thinking of the guess in his mind, Danzo couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile.

"Yes!"

The next day, Shisui endured the discomfort and put on armor, washed and ate with the help of the Snow Sisters.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving first."

After breakfast, Shisui said hello and left.

The Anbu's work has been getting more and more intense lately, and he won't be able to come back even at noon.

Sima Yi was fine, but Jinhuo and Yingshu, who arrived early in the morning, felt very regretful.

"I can only see Master Shisui at night, how can I fix it!"

"I haven't even had the chance to thank Master Shisui in person! I'm going to regret this for the rest of my life!"

Listening to the two's exaggerated talk, Sima Yi quickly interrupted, "Jinhuo will arrange for people to patrol, you two can take turns to practice in the backyard when you have time, there are things you need there."

Both Jinhuo and Yingshu are still young, and have opened the Sharingan, so Sima Yi plans to train them.

The two of them were grateful when they heard this, and immediately half-knelt and saluted, replying: "Yes! Grandpa Yi!"

The two knew in their hearts that even though it was Shisui who made the final decision to keep Hideki, they would have no chance without his help.

Sima Yi nodded and returned to his study. Everything was running in an orderly manner until noon, when an uninvited guest came to the outside of the mansion.

"stop!"

Outside the courtyard gate, Jin Huo frowned and shouted at the tribesmen who seemed familiar to him.

The visitor was not surprised to see Jinhuo. He took out a letter from his arms and said, "This is a handwritten letter from the Great Elder. Please pass it to Master Shisui."

After saying that, he handed the letter to Jinhuo and left instantly.

"Hey? Wait a moment."

Jin Huo raised his hand, but the person had already left, so he had no choice but to take the letter to the study.

"Grandpa Yi, the Great Elder just sent someone to deliver this letter, saying that it was to be given to Master Shisui."

"A letter from the Great Elder?"

Sima Yi's eyes moved slightly, but after taking the letter, he did not look at it but put it aside.

He said calmly, "Since it's for Shisui, leave it here until he comes back. From now on, remember to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the study at all times and don't let anyone else in or out."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Yi, I will keep an eye on this place!"

"Well, let's go down."

"Yes!"

After Jin Huo left, Sima Yi looked at the envelope on the table and thought for a moment, "It seems something has happened."
