Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 52 I will check my homework after the New Year

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

"Uncle Yi, you are right. When I went to their store today, the expressions on those guys' faces were extremely ugly. One of them even knelt down and begged me. Fortunately, I was quick to help him up before he could beg me."

At noon, Hui came to the study room with things in his hand and an excited look on his face. As soon as he entered the room, he started to pour out what happened in the morning like pouring beans.

However, he did not expect that Shisui was in the corner of the study, holding a scroll containing the sealing technique and staring at him blankly.

"Shisui? Why are you here?"

Hui noticed something was wrong and looked sideways. The corner of his mouth twitched and he smiled awkwardly.

Shisui raised his eyebrows, looking strange, "This is my home."

"Uh hahaha, right, right, I wanted to ask, aren't you going to train with Itachi? Why are you back so early today?"

"Patriarch Fugaku and Aunt Mikoto were busy today, so they left Sasuke in Itachi's care. So he came over this morning to tell me and then went back."

"Eh? Itachi is only six years old, and he already has to take care of Sasuke? The children of the clan leader really have a hard time."

"you do not say."

Thinking of Itachi holding the child, Hui's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but sigh. Shisui also sighed and nodded in agreement.

"By the way, what was Brother Hui talking about just now? Who asked you to do that?"

Seeing that he failed to fool the person, Hui could only smile and look at Sima Yi. Sima Yi was drinking tea and reading a book, seemingly unaware of it.

"Haha, Konoha has been in turmoil recently, and the salt merchants in the village came to me for protection. They promised to give me 10% of the profits every month in the hope that I can protect their store from being affected.

But Kamimura Yizhi was willing to give 300%, and directly gave me million taels as a gift. It seems that what I saw in the illusion last time has moved him."

The first half of the sentence is addressed to Zhishui, and the second half is addressed to Sima Yi.

Shisui was about to ask more but was interrupted by Sima Yi, "Just tell me directly, there is no need to hide anything, let Shisui understand it too."

Hui felt that this was a bit of bullying and not glorious, but in Sima Yi's opinion, this was nothing special. If Shisui couldn't even accept this, it would be impossible for Uchiha to win given his situation.

"Okay."

Hui scratched his head, moved closer to Shisui and told him everything about his threat to the salt merchant.

Shisui frowned when he heard that. He looked at Sima Yi but he was not angry. Instead, he said, "They concealed the tax and caused the village to be short of funds. So many ninjas died and their families could not get pensions. It's a bargain for them that they were not arrested directly!"

Yingshu is right in his yard. Such a family that sacrificed for Konoha actually cannot get the due reward. The top management is wrong, and these people are also wrong!
"Ah? Shisui you"

Hui was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shisui to react like this, so calmly.

Shisui then asked, "Grandpa, why do these businesses that have nothing to do with ninjas have so much profit?"

"Ninjas are a minority after all. There are at least 300,000 ordinary people in Konoha. They need food and salt every day, so the profits are naturally considerable.

Although the profits of ninja-related businesses are more considerable, there are too many ninja clans trying to get involved, so it is inconvenient for us to intervene, otherwise it will attract their attention."

"Uncle Yi is really amazing. From now on, these salt shops alone will provide us with 70 taels every month, which is almost half of an S-level mission.

Although it’s not much, it will last a long time. After the New Year, we will find a way to take on some tasks. We will save money to train ninjas and then bring our tribesmen together to build it.”

"Ahem!" Seeing Hui talking without restraint, Shisui interrupted him, "Brother Hui, you haven't eaten yet, I'll ask them to get you something to eat."

"I ate it. At noon, I went to have barbecue with everyone from the security department, hehehe~"

Seeing that the two had strayed from the topic, Sima Yi chuckled and said, "It's okay to rely on that little bit of money for small favors, but it's far from enough to do big things.

But this is just the beginning, you don't have to worry about it, just focus on tomorrow's meeting."

Upon hearing this, Shisui immediately said seriously, "Grandpa is right. In order to be the first to know the content of the meeting, I plan to go to Patriarch Fugaku tonight and ask him to agree that I can go with him."

Sima Yi nodded and added: "Let's go to the Third Generation first, and then go to the clan leader after getting his permission."

"Yes, Grandpa."

"what about me?"

Hui couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw the two of them talking to themselves, so he pointed at himself and asked.

"After you finish dealing with the grain merchant, take the guards to eat more good food. And take this opportunity to contact those captains."

"What kind of mission is this?"

Hui rolled his eyes. Isn’t this looking down on him?
Sima Yi looked at him seriously and said, "Winning people's hearts is the most important thing. Whether everything goes smoothly depends on your performance. How can you not take such a big responsibility entrusted to you seriously?"

Hui's eyes widened, he took a deep breath, and nodded quickly, "I understand, I will do my best, and I will definitely bring them all over here, and then we can build it together."

Shhh!
Shisui jumped up and covered Hui's mouth with his hands, shaking his head repeatedly, "Brother Hui, if the king is not discreet, he will lose his ministers, if the ministers are not discreet, they will lose themselves, if things are not discreet, harm will be done, we only need to know this kind of words, and we must never say them again!"

Hui frowned and looked at Shisui in disbelief, then he looked at Sima Yi, "What do you mean by secret or not, Uncle Yi, why didn't you teach me this, are you secretly teaching Shisui again?"

Shisui's cheeks turned red, "Grandpa is my teacher, so teaching me can't be called sneaking!"

Tsk~
Hui curled his lips, but Sima Yi suddenly asked, "Have you finished reading the New History of the Clan that was given to you?"

Hui looked up at the ceiling, then frowned in thought, then lowered his head and touched his chin. After a long while, he clapped his hands as if he had suddenly realized something and said, "Oh, I remember now. Osaka Yusuke is still in prison. I was wondering why I always felt like I had forgotten something."

Then, he suddenly turned around and said, "No, I have to go check it out. It's been several days. I hope nothing happens!"

After saying that, he opened the study door without looking back and was about to leave, but unexpectedly Sima Yi suddenly spoke up and said lightly: "No need, Osaka Yusuke was released yesterday. Come to me after the new year. I want to check the homework."

Damn it! He didn’t run away!

He is already in his twenties and he still has to do homework?
"How did Uncle Yi know that the guy was released? Damn Osaka Yusuke, if I had known, I wouldn't have let you go yesterday!"

"Shisui, thank you for your hard work on the Uchiha matter. This meeting will go more smoothly if you participate."

In the evening, in the Hokage Building, the Sandaime was a little surprised to see Shisui, who was supposed to be on vacation, but after hearing his purpose, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.

There have been constant turmoil during this period, and he needs an Uchiha clan member who is rational and inclined towards Konoha to help him stabilize the Uchiha clan.

Shisui arrived just in time.

"It's all for Konoha, Sandaime-sama!"
