Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 41: The Youth Knows the Taste of Sorrow

"Chakra is a combination of spiritual energy and physical energy, and sealing techniques can target chakra. Does that mean that sealing techniques can work on both the mind and the body? If they are used, can we achieve immortality?"

In the study, Sima Yi looked at the results of his recent studies and muttered to himself. He stared at the scrolls covering the table in front of him for a long time without moving his eyes.

Live forever!
In the past, the First Emperor sent people to travel around the world in search of the fairy island in order to seek immortality, but they never found the immortal method.

Now that he is in another world, perhaps immortality is not a bad idea?
However, he was summoned and his life was limited by Shisui. His death would not affect Shisui, but if Shisui died, he would disappear.

"If you use the sealing technique to find the way to immortality"

Sima Yi's heart moved slightly, and a dangerous idea flashed through his mind.

dong dong dong~
"Grandpa, can I come in?"

There was a knock on the door, and Sima Yi came back to his senses. He sighed and said softly, "Come in."

Shisui pushed the door open and walked in, with a sunny smile on his face, "Grandpa, I brought you some snacks, three-color balls, Itachi's favorite, Grandpa, come and try them."

Shisui carried the paper bag to Sima Yi, with some anticipation in his eyes.

"Haha, then let grandpa try it." Sima Yi picked up a string and bit off a little, then frowned after chewing for a while.

It is too sweet!
Fortunately, he just tasted it lightly, took a sip of tea and put the meatball aside.

Seeing this, Shisui took the meatball and smirked. Although Sima Yi did not comment, Shisui already knew the result.

He lowered his head and looked a little strange, "Itachi obviously likes it very much."
“Everyone is different, and everyone has their own preferences.”

Sima Yi chuckled when he heard this, and then asked, "Why did you come back so early today? Is everything going well?"

"Grandpa guessed it all right. The Third Hokage really agreed to the annual meeting. Not only that, the Third Hokage also intends to select ANBU candidates from within the Uchiha clan. Clan leader Fugaku will definitely be happy when he knows about this."

Shisui recalled the reaction of his clan when he first entered the ANBU. Even the usually serious Fugaku smiled for the first time.

"To show kindness without reason may bring troubles later."

Given the attitude of the Konoha high-level officials towards the Uchiha, there is no reason for them to suddenly give them benefits. This behavior is more like appeasement.

Sima Yi was no stranger to this kind of tactics. Since there was appeasement, there would certainly be suppression in secret.

If the Uchiha Annual Meeting incident cannot be considered suppression, then it can only be in other areas.

"Future trouble? Does the third generation want to continue to incite the tribe members to rebel?"

Shisui thought about it, the biggest danger of being an ANBU was being confused by the higher-ups like he had been.

"It's hard to be sure, but you don't have to worry too much. Just use static to slow down movement and follow our plan step by step."

"Well, it's almost noon. After lunch I will go to the clan leader's house and tell him about this."

"Alright."

After dinner, Shisui said goodbye to Sima Yi and came to Fugaku's mansion, but was told by Uchiha Mikoto that something happened in the guard department and Fugaku had left first.

"Is that so? Then I'll go to the Guard Department to find the clan leader."

Seeing this, Shisui had no choice but to say goodbye, but Itachi stopped him, "Mom, I'll go with Shisui-san."

Itachi had just finished lunch and immediately came to the corridor when he heard the noise.

Mikoto looked at Shisui and saw him nod and agreed. Then, she returned to the house to get the lunch box and gave it to Itachi, and said to Shisui: "Itachi, I'll leave it to you."

"Yes."

After leaving the yard, Itachi puffed up his cheeks and asked, "Didn't you say you would come to train with me? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Shisui felt a little embarrassed when talking about this. Every day after get off work, he would go back to see his grandfather first, so how could he remember Itachi?

"Sorry, sorry, I've been too busy lately. Look, this is for you, so don't be angry." Shisui casually took out a paper bag from his arms.

“This is a three-color meatball!”

Itachi's eyes changed, and his originally resentful expression suddenly turned into a smile, and he happily took the bag.

"Thank you, Brother Shisui. Did you buy this especially for me? Mm, it's delicious~"

Although he had just finished his meal, Itachi used his other stomach to store the three-colored meatballs.

"Well, of course I bought it specially." Shisui smiled, his eyes a little evasive.

However, Itachi was already bewitched by the sweetness of the three-colored meatballs and did not notice anything.

After two skewers of food, Itachi asked, "By the way, what does Shisui-nii want to talk to my father about?"

"It's not a big deal. The tribe wants to hold an annual meeting, and the tribe leader has asked for my opinion. I want to discuss it with the tribe leader when I have time."

The whole clan would soon know about the annual meeting, and Shisui did not hide it.

Unexpectedly, Itachi frowned after hearing this, and sadness was revealed on his young face.

"Brother Shisui is also going to stop the annual meeting, right? The village is already in such a difficult situation, but they want to hold such a meaningless event at this time. They also want to affect Brother Shisui because of this matter. They are really a group of narrow-minded people!"

Ok?
Shisui was shocked and looked at Itachi seriously, and saw that his expression was serious and did not look like that of a six-year-old child at all.

He thought again about the future of Uchiha he saw that night.

Shisui asked casually without moving his expression, "How did Itachi know about this?"

"They were the First Elder and the Second Elder's people. I was there when they came to our house to discuss things with Dad."

this.
With Fugaku's strength, can't he find Itachi's location?
Of course it is impossible not to discover it, which can only mean that Fugaku is deliberately training Itachi.

He is only six years old!
The corners of Shisui's mouth twitched slightly. This was the nth time that he had a headache with Fugaku.
Even when Sima Yi asked him to come into contact with Itachi, he advised: "Don't always talk about worries."

"Patriarch Fugaku is really..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Itachi looked up at Shisui, not understanding the other's expression.

Shisui was helpless and stroked Itachi's hair, just chuckling.

A moment later, the two arrived at the security department, where many people had already gathered.

There were guards, ordinary villagers, ninjas wearing forehead protectors, and ANBU members, pushing and shoving and seeming to be arguing.

Shisui sensed something was wrong, so he sent Itachi away and went forward alone to ask, "What happened?"

"It's Master Shisui!"

"Shisui is here."

The crowd noticed Shisui and immediately made way for him. Hui walked out of the guard team and came to Shisui and explained:
"At noon, two ninjas got drunk and started acting crazy. Although we got here quickly after receiving the news, the street was a bit remote, and by the time we got here, the two guys had already caused trouble."

Hui suddenly lowered his voice and leaned close to Shisui's ear, "Five villagers were swept in, three of them are dead, one of them is a child, and the remaining two were seriously injured and sent to the hospital. The Third-Kami already knows about this, and even the head of the Fugaku clan has been called in for questioning."

"what?"

Shisui's face changed. If it was just this incident, he would only feel regretful, but at this moment he only thought of Sima Yi's suspicion.

'If you show favor without reason, there may be trouble in the future!'
