Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 51 I am that despicable villain [Please vote~]

"The White Fang had too much prestige in the past. Regardless of the truth, you can guess that the Third Generation was responsible. But why can we be sure that what happened today was done by the Third Generation?"

Sima Yi looked at Shisui and asked with interest.

"The rumors are everywhere. The villagers are saying that the Security Department is not doing anything. Catching the wanted criminal is the work of the three generations and the Anbu. So where does that put the Security Department?

He used the Anbu quota to appease me before, I'm afraid it was just a deliberate deception, he must have deliberately suppressed me secretly to appease people's hearts and win people over! "

Shisui was a little excited when he spoke, and couldn't help cursing, "You despicable villain, how could I have regarded him as the savior of the Uchiha in the past, and how could I be so moved by what he said about the will of fire, really..."

Shisui gasped and didn't know what to curse for a moment.

Sima Yi sighed, put down the cup, stroked his long beard and said: "I heard that Danzo was grounded today, and the Root was also broken up and sent to the Anbu."

"Danzo?"

Shisui's eyes flashed with doubt, and he frowned and asked, "Could it be him who did it? But what does he want?"

"No, his Root has repeatedly targeted the Uchiha. If the Hokage intends to appease the Uchiha, then the Root will not be very useful. So he does this to deepen the conflict between the Uchiha and the villagers so as to continue to gain the support of the Hokage."

"Despicable guy!"

"After Danzo was sent back to the clan by the Anbu, another Anbu member found the clan leader. It is unknown what they said, but several clan elders seemed very happy to hear the news."

When Shisui was scolding Danzo, Sima Yi threw out another piece of information.

Shisui's mood suddenly changed, "That was still done by the Third Hokage? The Root must have secretly taken the wanted criminal without the knowledge of Danzo. He wanted to suppress Danzo and use this to appease the Uchiha!"

"No, maybe it's still Danzo?"

Shisui cursed and gradually became confused. He sat aside scratching his head, feeling very conflicted.

Seeing that Shisui stopped cursing, Sima Yi showed a strange look on his face.

“It’s irrational for the Sandaime to keep provoking the Uchiha. He is the Hokage, and Konoha’s stability comes first.

For Danzo, it is right to suppress the Uchiha, but this level of stimulation will only arouse the dissatisfaction of the Third Generation, and he should not go to such an extent.

This is more harmful than beneficial to both of them.”

"They don't benefit? Then who benefits?"

Sima Yi looked at Shisui and smiled meaningfully.

Shisui's face changed, he stood up suddenly, and looked at Sima Yi in disbelief, "It can't be me?"

"Yes, I am the despicable man you mentioned."

Shisui was stunned. He stared at Sima Yi for a long time without saying anything. Then his cheeks flushed red and he quickly explained, "Grandpa, I, I didn't mean that. I just, I..."

He scratched his head with a look of confusion and embarrassment. He didn't expect that the person he had been cursing in his heart all day would be Sima Yi.

"But. But why? What good will this do for me?"

"The Uchiha clan does have a bad reputation right now, but even so, the Third Hokage would never dare to start a civil war. He would not force the Uchiha clan into a rebellion, so we have to give the Uchiha a push and let the Third Hokage see that rebellion is not far from him."

Shisui frowned, a little worried, "Forcing the Uchiha to rebel? The Third Hokage is known as the strongest Hokage. With Konoha's current strength, even the Uchiha clan cannot succeed!"

"Of course it's not a real rebellion, it's just to let the Third Hokage see that the Uchiha have this tendency.

Now that the war has just ended and people are calm, only in this situation will he start to compromise and make concessions for the sake of the overall situation, and the Uchiha will see hope. "Shisui was relieved when he heard this, "So grandpa is doing this for the Uchiha. If the Uchiha can see the concessions of the Konoha high-level officials, then maybe everyone can live in peace with Konoha."

For the Uchiha?
Sima Yi chuckled and continued, “Once the Uchiha gets the promise, they will rekindle their hope for Konoha, but this will be the final compromise.

If Konoha breaks their promise again at this time, the Uchiha will be completely disappointed with Konoha and those who advocated compromise in the first place."

"The Second Elder and Chief Fujigaku"

Shisui muttered, his expression dull, "But will the Sandai break their promise?"

Sima Yi did not answer this question, but took out a booklet and handed it to Shisui, "This requires you to think slowly and verify carefully."

Shisui took the booklet blankly, and it took him a long time to react. He asked, "What is this?"

“Here’s what we’re going to do next and what it’s going to cost.”

Shisui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Sima Yi had done something secretly again, but when he saw that it was just an account book, he casually said, "Grandpa will handle the money issue. If it's not enough, I'll find another way."

Unexpectedly, Sima Yi shook his head and said, "This period of time is crucial. You must observe and pay attention to all actions carefully. You must also carefully write down these prices and never be careless.

Although you don't need to be proficient in everything in family management, you should know a thing or two so that you won't be bullied when you become the clan leader or even the Hokage in the future."

"I see. Grandpa is still a long-term thinker. I will keep this in mind."

Shisui nodded and took the account book, still a little absent-minded.

Seeing this, Sima Yi continued, "You don't need to worry too much. If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to see the clues at the Jonin meeting in three days. We just need to prepare early."

The Jonin Conference theoretically represents the highest power in Konoha, and is responsible for the selection of Hokage, institutional reform, division of task shares, and financial restructuring.

Although Shisui is also a jonin, as a member of the Uchiha clan he would not participate alone without Fugaku unless the Hokage ordered him to participate as an ANBU.

"Jounin meeting? I hope everything goes well."

Shisui was in mixed emotions, not knowing whether this meeting would go smoothly.

Sima Yi remained calm, as he already had the answer in his heart.

"Just stay calm, practice well, and keep an eye on Itachi."

When Itachi was mentioned, Shisui immediately looked up and asked, "Speaking of which, Grandpa, what exactly is the meaning of the book you gave Itachi? The story I heard Itachi tell today didn't seem to have much meaning?"

"Hahaha, you, if you don't think it has that much meaning, why bother thinking so much? It's just a travelogue, it has no special features except for the number of words."

"Eh?"

Sima Yi laughed, meeting Shisui's puzzled look and explained, "Itachi is still young, but he thinks too much. You should train with him during the day to tire his body, and give him books at night to tire his mind. This way, he won't have the energy to think too much."

"That's it?"

Shisui was confused. He had been thinking for two days but couldn't guess Sima Yi's motive. He didn't expect it to be so simple.

"If he studies it carefully, the travelogue can also help him broaden his horizons, and he doesn't have to be confined to this village."

Finally, Sima Yi pointed to the bookshelf behind him and said, "I asked Jin Huo to buy some more. I'll remember to continue his book when he finishes it."

"All right."
