Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 72 Shisui: I gradually understand everything

Hui patted his chest and explained with a smug look on his face, "Uncle Yi has been asking me to pay attention to the villagers' reactions, so I knew the news before the first ceremony was over.

When I visited your house the next day, Uncle Yi saw that you were busy and pulled me into the study. He asked me to go back to the police department immediately to publicize while several captains were away, so I left in such a hurry that day.

I usually get along well with everyone, and everyone basically believed me once I opened my mouth. Afterwards, Uncle Yi had people spread the news in the tribe, and the two sides backed up each other, and soon the whole tribe knew about it."

"So, grandpa is deliberately directing the resentment towards the third generation."

Shisui's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly reacted. He whispered to himself, "Grandpa once asked me to fight for the interests of the tribe members from the Third Generation. Judging from the Third Generation's reaction during this period, he should make some concessions if the tribe members are too resentful. Could it be that Grandpa is creating this opportunity?!"

As Shisui spoke, his eyes gradually brightened, as if he understood everything!
"Ah? Um, yes, is there?"

Hui scratched his head. As he listened to Shisui's analysis, his mind gradually went blank. He tried hard to recall Sima Yi's arrangements during this period. There seemed to be a vague connection, but he couldn't grasp it clearly. After a while, he had to give up and said, "Shisui is really worthy of it!"

"Eh? Hehe~"

Shisui's face turned red, and after the two looked at each other, he suddenly felt guilty and asked, "Why don't we go back and ask Grandpa?"

"Then ask."

Anyway, they had seen what Sima Yi wanted him to know, so Shisui and the others simply returned home.

"Strive for the interests of the tribe?"

In the study, after Sima Yi sorted out the news from inside and outside the clan, he continued to study the sealing art here without fail.

Seeing the two people rushing over to ask, his eyes revealed something strange.

He saw the expectation in Shisui's eyes. Although he would never spoil someone's fun, this matter...
"Why do you want to do such a thankless task when the time is not right?"

Shisui paused, looking puzzled, "But didn't Grandpa ask me to fight for the interests of the tribe before? The tribe is quite resentful now, maybe it will be successful if I bring it up to the third generation now."

Hui also nodded. He had been thinking on the way here, and he felt more and more that Shisui's words made sense.

"Acting in line with public opinion is not about seeking benefits, it is about forcing the emperor to abdicate. Doing so now will only backfire."

Seeing the two people's confusion, Sima Yi put down the scroll and patiently explained: "Now, you rely on the trust of both parties. Neither the clan members nor the third generation are your base. You don't need to fight for tangible benefits for either party. You only need to promise to win them over, show some favors, and maintain trust.

Only when you become the tribe leader will the tribe members become your foundation, and then you will need to ensure their interests."

Shisui nodded somewhat disappointedly, "I understand. For now, the trust of the Third Generation should be the most important."

The conversations among those women and the images of those tribesmen fleeing back to their tribe land in a panic made Shisui feel uncomfortable.

Hui just nodded. Although these things made him feel a little aggrieved, he knew that this was all arranged by Sima Yi, and that Uchiha would see the dawn sooner or later.

Seeing this, Sima Yi comforted him softly, "Don't be disappointed, it won't take long."

Shishui smiled when he heard that, thinking that Sima Yi was comforting him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the other party raising his hands to calculate and muttering something.

"Calculating the time, it will probably be only half a month. Since both of you are free today, take Jinhuo and the others with you to move the things out of the warehouse.

Here is the list, which contains the conditions of those people's homes. You should deliver the letters door to door according to the list."

Without waiting for the two to react, Sima Yi added another sentence.

"Remember to bring Itachi with you."

"Great, thank you grandpa, I'll go right away!" Shisui was delighted and immediately understood what the other party meant. He quickly took the list, turned around and left excitedly.

"Ah? Another hard job!" Hui grinned with some dissatisfaction, but turned around honestly. When he was about to leave, Sima Yi stopped him.

Sima Yi's lips moved, Hui's face changed and he nodded repeatedly before leaving the study.

After the two left, Sima Yi shook his head and sighed, "He is still not steady enough and can't hold his temper."

But after all, Shisui is young, so it's understandable. He just needs to keep polishing.
Oh, let him be.

Ignoring the two of them, Sima Yi's gaze fell on the scroll again. On one side of the scroll was the word "barrier" clearly written.

Based on Sima Yi's study of sealing techniques during this period, he divided it into four types and seven stages according to different difficulties and functions.

They are warning, isolation, barrier, seal (inanimate objects), seal (chakra and alien chakra), seal (space), seal (living things). Being able to use the sealing technique for warning means you have mastered it.

Isolation includes the five senses, which are used for counter-alertness.

The effects of barriers are more varied and complex, with many uses and restrictions.

The difficulty of sealing varies greatly based on the target, among which sealing dead objects is the most basic.

Of course, these are just divisions based on the existing sealing techniques within the Uchiha clan.

What surprised him the most was that there were records of sealed life forms within the tribe, but the details were unclear, which made him quite regretful.

Apart from this, what also made him regretful was that there was no method within the clan to seal the soul individually. Only some related records were left, among which the Uzumaki clan that was almost extinct was mentioned.

“The barrier within the clan is too dilapidated and full of holes. People from Konoha’s upper echelons can come and go almost freely, and there is absolutely no privacy in the clan.

Fugaku compromised with several clan elders and allowed them to do so, but what Shisui was going to do next needed to be kept secret, and preparations had to be made in advance, and the training of the clan's younger generations had to keep up by then."

Sima Yi was sorting things out while thinking and keeping various things in mind.

While he was busy, Shisui and others also rushed to the warehouse.

"So many things?"

Uchiha Xuehua led a few people to the warehouse, and when the warehouse was opened, Shisui couldn't help but exclaimed.

Several warehouses were built temporarily and were filled with rice, flour, oil, salt and cotton clothes.

He only saw the tip of the iceberg last time in the courtyard. Now when he opened the warehouse, he discovered how thorough Sima Yi's preparations were.

After checking it out, Shisui sent a clone to call Itachi, while his real body took Hui, Jinhuo and others to start moving supplies. However, Sima Yi had prepared supplies for at least six hundred people for half a month, and even if eight of them were ninjas, it would be difficult to take out too much at once.

They had no choice but to give up. They took out a part of it first, and then loaded it into a cart. After Itachi arrived as invited, they pushed the cart and prepared to set off.

"Everyone, form groups of two and divide the alleys to act separately. Itachi will come with me."

Itachi had no idea what this was going to do, but he nodded obediently anyway.

"what about me?"

Hui was stunned. He looked around. There were nine ninjas in total. The six attendants had already been divided into teams, and he was the only one alone.

"Oh, let's go, Brother Hui too."

Shisui smiled awkwardly. He was so focused on Itachi that he forgot about Teru.

"Don't force yourself if you don't want to." Hui rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

However, although he said this, Hui thought about Sima Yi's instructions and still pushed the cart and followed.

The three of them pushed the cart to the edge of the clan's territory, which was a relatively remote alley that Zhishui had deliberately chosen.

"Brother Shisui, are we going to sell something?"

The three men pushing the cart attracted the attention of many tribesmen along the way. They really looked like vendors, and Itachi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, some of our tribesmen are having difficulties right now, and I want to send some things to help them. Is Itachi willing to give us some?"

Facing Itachi's doubts, Shisui explained very gently.

"Well, I have to go."

Since Sasuke was born, Itachi realized that the meaning of life might lie in protection, and he agreed with Shisui's intention to protect his people.

"However, the people in the clan are so arrogant, will they accept Brother Shisui's kindness?"

In Itachi's opinion, this behavior was help to put it mildly, and alms to put it bluntly. He didn't think that the people in the tribe would accept just a few bags of rice.
