Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 39 Be bold [Please vote~]

"No, I must stop them. I must not let the Third Generation find a reason to continue suppressing the Uchiha, otherwise the Great Elder and his men will definitely instigate the clan members."

Shisui's face changed, he didn't expect that an annual family meeting would involve so much.

However, it's not over yet.

Sima Yi continued, "Weren't you curious just now why I stopped you from expressing your opinion?"

Zhishui nodded. He understood Sima Yi's intention of serving tea to see the guests off, so he spoke vaguely.

"The clan leader is not just asking for your opinion. I'm afraid he wants to know more about your relationship with the great elder."

“The first elder is more radical, the second elder is more conservative, and Patriarch Fujikawa always remains neutral in clan meetings.

But he was the clan leader that the Great Elder recognized and supported, and he rarely argued with the Great Elder and his people. There is no reason for him to test the relationship between me and the Great Elder, right?"

"neutral?"

Sima Yi chuckled and continued, "I'm afraid he is not neutral. Since he refused to help you last time, I have paid special attention to you in the clan. You, the clan leader, should also be a conservative.

In other words, I am more inclined to the second elder's opinion.

Of course, it is possible that he is a cautious person and is always on guard against Konoha's high-ranking officials deliberately doing this."

keep?

How could the Fugaku clan leader be a conservative? He was the Fugaku Uchiha, known as the evil eye, the clan leader of the Uchiha clan!

Shisui's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately recalled Fugaku's actions at several clan meetings.

Before the Nine-Tails incident, he chose to support Minato Namikaze against all odds and persuaded several elders to give him a lot of support.

After the Nine-Tails incident, he suppressed the dissatisfaction of his clan members and elders and agreed to the decision of the Konoha high-level officials to relocate the entire clan.

Afterwards, in response to the decision of the Konoha high-level leaders, a large number of clansmen were sent to the front line for support.

There was only one slight difference, and that was that the arrangement for him to enter the Anbu to inquire about the opinions of the Konoha high-level officials was unanimously agreed upon by the elders and tacitly approved by the clan leader Fugaku.

After thinking about it for a while, Shisui realized that Fugaku should be a very opinionated person.

However, when he thought about it again, he realized that something was wrong. After the Nine-Tails incident, every decision Fugaku made ignored the opinions of his clansmen and chose to compromise with Konoha.

However, because Fugaku had successfully bet on Minato Namikaze before, the clan members chose to believe him despite their dissatisfaction.

But this trust is ultimately limited.

If Fugaku fails to respond to this trust, he will eventually be retaliated by his clan members.

Now, there are signs of a split.

"He keeps compromising with the Konoha leaders, and all his actions actually lean towards the conservative faction represented by the Second Elder. However, the clan is increasingly dissatisfied with the Konoha leaders, so it is inconvenient for him to express his position in person, otherwise it will only backfire."

"So he wants to know my thoughts, or wants me to stop the tribesmen?"

"That's right, but you can't stop the tribe members, and you can't agree to the request of the great elder!"

"what?"

Shisui was stunned and didn't react for a moment, then asked, "Neither side agrees? Grandpa wants me to remain neutral?"

Sima Yi shook his head and explained, "You can't stop the annual meeting, but you can't directly support the Great Elder either."

"Are you worried about Patriarch Fugaku?"

"No, it's the third generation!"

Shisui frowned and fell into deep thought, "Will supporting the Great Elder make the Third Hokage suspicious of me?" "Yes, you know that the Great Elder has always been tough on Konoha. If you get too close to him, the Third Hokage will doubt you, which is not good for you. If Danzo gets hold of you, he might even attack you secretly."

"I see. I'll burn the letter now."

Having said that, Shisui was about to take action, but was stopped by Sima Yi.

"No need to do that. Just put the letter aside for now. If you don't want to pay attention to it, just pretend you don't know. But this letter may have other uses."

Shisui's behavior was a bit stupid, but Sima Yi did not get angry. Instead, he patiently taught him.

"Grandpa is right. If that's the case, why don't I just give the letter to the clan leader? When he sees the letter, he'll know that I don't have a close relationship with the Great Elder, and he'll understand my dilemma. Then maybe he won't embarrass me."

Shisui thought for a moment and his eyes lit up as he came up with a good idea.

However, Sima Yi laughed when he heard it. "You have ideas, but you haven't thought enough. Why not be bolder?"

"A little bolder?"

“Think about who you are.”

"My identity? Uchiha Shisui? No, I'm an ANBU!"

A flash of inspiration came to Shisui, and his eyes suddenly widened. He seemed to have grasped something, and looked at Sima Yi in disbelief and said, "Grandpa means to give the letter to the third generation?"

"Hahaha, that's exactly what I mean."

"If it is handed over to the Third Generation, will they harm the Great Elder? Will they use this to suppress the Uchiha?"

"Not only that, they will even help the Great Elder." Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and explained carefully: "The Uchiha annual meeting will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Konoha high-level officials, but the dissatisfaction of the Third Generation will not stop you. Not only that, he will also help you hold it smoothly."

"Duke Zheng defeated Duan at Yan!" Zhishui immediately recalled this story that had left a deep impression on him.

"That's right. The bigger the Uchiha's actions are, the more attention they will attract, which is more in line with the interests of the Third Hokage. Therefore, as long as you take the initiative to mention it, he will definitely agree.

In this way, you not only avoided the suspicion of the third generation by not keeping close contact with the great elder, but also expressed your loyalty by taking into account your identity as a spy, and at the same time repaid the great elder's favor. The tribe members will also know that it was you who spoke to the third generation that made the tribe meeting go smoothly. "

“Achieve multiple things with one stone!”

Shisui wanted to kowtow to him, and was filled with admiration in his heart.

"Another point."

Unexpectedly, Sima Yi did not stop. He stroked his long beard and looked at Shishui quietly with a smile on his face.

Shisui knew that this was a test for him and immediately fell into deep thought.

Apart from the great elder and clan members, who else is there in the third generation?

Uchiha Fugaku!
"It's Patriarch Fugaku. Grandpa, you just said that the Patriarch's behavior has always been inclined towards the Konoha high-level. If the Konoha high-level agreed to our holding of the annual meeting, the Patriarch would not have any objections, and there would be no more disagreements within the clan."

"That's right. You must remember that whenever something important happens, you should remain calm and not act on impulse. You must not easily get involved in fights, especially internal fights."

"A centipede is still alive even after it dies. For a big family like the Uchiha clan, enemies coming from outside are nothing to be afraid of. Only internal fighting can damage their morale and ruin their foundation.

Now you are at the intersection of three parties, you must be cautious with every step and never take risks lightly. "

Before Sima Yi came, he just felt a little confused. After Sima Yi came, he realized that there were so many dangers around him.

"I understand, Grandpa. I will be careful. I will deliver this letter to the third generation now."

"No hurry. Acting at night will easily arouse suspicion. Just take it with you when you are on duty tomorrow."

"Yes."
