Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 66 It's time [First Order]

Shisui had never really considered fighting the Hokage in a one-on-one duel.

"I heard that during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Third Hokage single-handedly pushed the Nine-Tails out of Konoha. The Nine-Tails is the strongest of all the tailed beasts. The Third Hokage is undoubtedly powerful. If he fights him alone without Kotoamatsukami, it is hard to say who will win."

"So how does his strength compare to the first generation?"

Shisui shook his head, "I have never seen the first generation, but the Nine-Tails was subdued by the first generation, so it should be very powerful. The specific strength may be known by the Great Elder. I can find an opportunity to ask when I have time."

"That's it, since your strength is strong enough in the clan, we can speed up our actions appropriately." Sima Yi did not explore further after hearing this. After all, the Hokage would be their future enemy and could be considered their backer for now.

"The Great Elder is already willing to help me. Should I go and convince the Second Elder next?"

"No need. It is enough to convince the Great Elder. As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it. Master those forbidden techniques first. For the next actions, you just need to watch carefully and learn well. I will let you step in when necessary."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Shisui didn't hesitate and was very obedient. Hearing this, he was about to get up and go practice, but was stopped by Sima Yi.

"By the way, Jinhuo is training in the backyard, go and give him some pointers first, and remember not to use too much force."

Sima Yi picked up the teacup and reminded him unintentionally.

"Ok?"

Shisui's eyes paused, perhaps because he had been with Sima Yi for too long, he actually vaguely sensed the meaning of the other party's words.

"Okay grandpa, I will be careful."

"We have purchased the materials on the list according to the requirements of the housekeeper. Here is the account book. Due to the heavy snow, the prices in the latter part are a little higher than when we investigated before."

In the evening, Sima Yi called Uchiha Xuehua to ask about the results of the previous goods purchase.

"It's okay, you did a great job."

Sima Yi looked at the list in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. Xuehua just lowered her head and listened respectfully.

"Go call Yingshu and Jinhuo."

"Yes."

After Xuehua retreated, Jinhuo and others arrived quickly.

As soon as Sima Yi entered the door, he saw Jin Huo with a bruised face and nose.

Sima Yi pretended not to know and asked curiously, "Why did it become like this?"

Jinhuo put his hands on his hips and replied proudly: "These are all left when I fought with Master Shisui. Don't look at me like this, I also held on for a long time!"

"Hiss~ Ouch~"

As Jinhuo spoke, he suddenly gasped, as if his wound was affected, and he quickly covered his face and cried out in pain.

Yingshu was laughing secretly on the side. Fortunately, Shisui was very restrained in his attack. Although it looked very miserable, in fact, there were no broken bones or muscles. With a ninja's physique, he would recover on his own in two or three days.

"Really? That's really impressive."

Sima Yi smiled and casually praised, then ordered: "Since everything is fine, please help me go to the police department and call Hui over."

"Okay, Master Yi! Leave it to me!"

Jin Huo was very excited after receiving the mission. He turned around and was about to take Yingshu away, but Sima Yi continued, "Yingshu, stay. You have another mission."

"Yes."

Jinhuo was stunned. Although he was curious, he didn't think much about it. He made an encouraging gesture to Yingshu and left first.

"It has been snowing heavily these past few days. Go inform them and check around in the tribe to see if anything has happened."

Sima Yi said as he took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to Yingshu.

Yingshu took it and immediately understood what Sima Yi meant. He nodded and said, "I'll go right away!" Not long after the two left, Hui hurried over, with a hint of alcohol on his body.

The moment he saw Sima Yi, Hui immediately sobered up and used his chakra to force out the alcohol in his body, then asked, "Uncle Yi, are you taking action again?"

"You go and inform those merchants that starting from tomorrow, the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt will increase a little every day. Before the New Year, the increase must be at least 30%, and no more than 50%. Pay attention to grain, a 30% increase will be enough.

Remember, don’t show up for this matter.”

Hui was stunned for a moment, and asked hurriedly: "Are you short of money? I still have a lot here, Uncle Yi, take it first."

Sima Yi waved his hand and looked at Hui with a serious expression, "It has nothing to do with money, you can take it back yourself. These merchants must be controlled and told that as long as they are obedient, we can find a way to send their children to the ninja school."

As for what to do if they don't obey, Sima Yi didn't say.

Seeing Sima Yi's sharp words, Hui did not dare to neglect, "Don't worry, Uncle Yi, I will keep an eye on them."

"Also, tell those people outside to keep a close eye on the villagers during this period of time and report any disturbances in a timely manner. Remember not to be stingy with the rewards."

"Yes!"

"That's all for now. Go get some New Year's gifts from Xuehua later and then go back to the police department. Just tell them that Shisui was in high spirits today and bought them to share with them."

"Ah? Just, just gone?"

He came here in a hurry and he wasn't even allowed to drink a sip of water, and you let him go back?

"You're still drinking, go ahead and don't ignore those people."

"Hehe, that's right~"

After Hui smiled and turned away, Sima Yi sent away Jinhuo who had come back, and then continued to flip through various scrolls.

The next morning, Yingshu handed the results of his hard work all night to Sima Yi and Shisui.

"These are the people affected by the heavy snow in the past three days. Many of their houses have collapsed, and some of the tribesmen are already in financial difficulty at home."

Sima Yi flipped through the book and nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, you can go down and rest first. I will go again tonight and tell them about these things. I will give them a daily report and I will give them enough compensation."

"Yes."

After Yingshu left, Shisui asked, "The lives of ordinary tribesmen are already difficult, and we don't know when this heavy snow will stop. Should we continue to recruit some people to help?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said calmly: "It's not the right time yet, let the snow fall for a while."

Shisui opened his mouth, feeling reluctant, but in the end he did not say anything in rebuttal and left silently.

Such heavy snow stopped completely after three days. Fortunately, the snow in the next three days was only intermittent, and the total amount of snow was not as much as any previous day, so it did not cause a large-scale snow disaster.

But even so, many people were affected.

The roads outside Konoha were closed, and the Third Hokage would issue tasks to clear the snow every day.

"This is the situation today. Some members of the clan have been affected. Clan leader Fugaku is busy with his first ceremony and doesn't seem to have noticed it. There is no movement in the clan either, but Lord Shisui..."

Yingshu said hesitantly.

"It's okay, let him be. The New Year's Day is coming in two days. Ask Jinhuo to meet with people of the same age in the tribe, and help Shisui deliver some New Year's goods."

"Yes!"

Yingshu agreed and left.

Sima Yi couldn't help but smile when he looked at the information. After all, Shisui couldn't ignore the suffering of his people, so he chose to help these people secretly.

Although it went against his plan, the effect was actually the same, and he was not angry.

"It's time to move on to the next step."
