Chapter 75 I'm Ready

bang~
"Damn it~ It's all because of those damn guys. They made us unable to drink happily!"

"That's right, why do those people always do such annoying things, damn it!"

Inside Konoha Village, at a remote barbecue stall, seven or eight people dressed in police uniforms were crowded together, drinking and cursing.

It was already night, the cold wind was howling, and the streets were becoming increasingly deserted.

The owner of the barbecue stall looked at them with a smile. He had gone from being helpless in the beginning to now being accustomed to it. He was even happy to keep adding wine and food to them.

"Don't they know how hard we work for these people every day? They really don't understand us at all, and they just say sarcastic things, those bastards~"

After drinking, they became even more excited and banged on the table.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's a rare opportunity to relax. Cheers everyone!"

Among the few people, Hui raised his wine glass and shouted with a rosy face.

Everyone responded by raising their glasses and shouting in surprise, then drank them all in one gulp, and then filled another glass.

"Ha~ It's a pity that Captain Tetsuka and the others have to go to the home of Patriarch Fugaku, otherwise we could all drink together."

"No, when I mention Captain Tetsuka, I think of the quarrel in the Fugaku clan leader's house. It's been so many days and no decision has been made yet?"

"It's just like their style. Not decisive at all. Very fussy."

"Those people are elders and clan leaders, how can you say that to them?"

"Wulu Sai, elders and clan leaders, they can't even solve these problems, they are so incompetent!"

"You're right, incompetent!"

The voices of several people were getting louder and louder, and they were drinking more and more wine. Hui was chatting with them and suddenly said: "I heard that Shisui has been helping the tribe because of this."

"Yes, yes, I saw it too. You are worthy of being Shisui. Unlike those guys who only know how to quarrel and do nothing, they don't act like elders at all."

"I've visited Shisui before, he's really nice, he's a very powerful and kind person."

Hui smiled and said unintentionally: "It would be great if someone like that could become the clan leader."

When these words came out, several people were stunned, and then someone laughed and echoed: "That's right, Shisui is powerful, very gentle to us, and decisive in his actions. He has been helping the tribe these days, unlike those guys."

"Hmmmm, now that it's said like that, maybe it really is possible, hahaha~"

"I heard that Shisui has a very good relationship with the Hokage. If he becomes the clan leader, maybe the police department won't have so many troubles in the future."

Everyone talked about it with a smile, without avoiding the topic, and even began to imagine the days after Shisui became the clan leader.

"Ha! You guys are drinking secretly here, that's too much!"

While we were chatting, there was a sudden cry from behind.

When they looked back, they found that it was Tiehuo and others who were transferred to the clan leader's house to stand by.

Tiehuo stood aside with a gloomy expression. Several people around him seemed unaware and came to the barbecue stall and shouted.

"Captain Tiehuo, let's drink together. Boss, give us some more skewers and draft beer!"

"Received~"

Hui warmly invited everyone to sit down, and it was only at this moment that he noticed that there was something wrong with Tiehuo's expression.

"Ah? Captain, why do you look like that? What happened?"

Everyone turned around curiously to look. Tiehuo sighed and shook his head slowly, explaining, "There will be a clan meeting tomorrow afternoon. We have already notified the other people in the police department. You are the only ones left. Don't drink too much and forget."

"It turns out to be just a clan meeting. I thought it was a big deal. Who cares? Come and have a drink!"

Seeing this, Tiehuo did not refuse the invitation. He naturally sat down and drank with everyone until late at night.

Fortunately, everyone in the police department is a ninja and can stay sober at any time if they want to. However, most of them are immersed in a half-drunk and half-awake state and are unwilling to recover.

After paying the money, everyone returned to their clan territory and dispersed. Tiehuo felt very complicated when he saw Hui saying goodbye to everyone.

Let Shisui become the clan leader?

This kind of conversation lasted almost the entire drinking party. Tiehuo was confused and felt something was wrong, but he could not find any reason to refute it.

After saying goodbye to the others, he walked on his way home. The street lights in the alley flickered, and the faint sounds of children crying and parents scolding could be heard.

Suddenly, he heard cheers approaching, and he concealed his steps and stayed in the dark.

"Today I saw Shisui-sama again. He is such an extraordinary person, gentle and powerful. Just seeing him makes me feel at ease." "It would be great if someone like that could become the clan leader."

It’s a familiar conversation again!
Tiehuo secretly watched several ninjas from his clan walking past him drunk, and the familiar words made his heart sink.

He hesitated for a moment and immediately changed direction and went to Fugaku's house.

Fugaku was exhausted after a long time and had already rested.

But even so, Fugaku still opened his eyes the moment Tiehuo arrived in the yard.

"What happened?"

A deep voice came, and Tiehuo half-knelt in the corridor across the door and responded: "Some bad rumors have appeared in the clan."

Mikoto had also woken up. She gently put a coat on Fugaku, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Fugaku patted her hands, stood up, walked to the yard and sat in front of Tetsuka, listening to the other party's story and speculation.

"Shisui?"

After a moment, Fugaku sighed. Although his expression was as calm as ever, Tiehuo still noticed something unusual from this sigh.

"Should we call him in for questioning? Or..."

"No, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

"Yes!"

After Tiehuo left, Fugaku just sat quietly in the yard. After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him.

Fugaku's eyes moved slightly, and he stood up and went back to the bedroom to continue resting.

"Grandpa, I heard that a clan meeting will be held this afternoon. This is a good opportunity. Should we take action?
Although I am a little anxious, I am ready. I will call Itachi and Brother Hui to come over later. Grandpa will help me keep an eye on Itachi. Brother Hui and I will be enough for the clan meeting."

The next morning, the notice of the clan meeting arrived at Zhishui. Due to Sima Yi's previous reminder, he was in a complicated mood. Knowing that the clan meeting was coming, he subconsciously felt that the time was ripe.

"No hurry, there are still three steps to go. And I remember I said half a month last time, right? Isn't that still some time?"

Compared to Shisui's entanglement, Sima Yi was quite calm.

"Three more steps? So much more?"

Shisui was shocked, he felt that the situation was very good now, from the clan elders and the police department to other ninjas and ordinary clan members, they all supported him, even Itachi chose to help him, so his chances of winning were very high now!

"Until you are at your wit's end, stability is the most important thing."

"Okay, then, which three steps?"

Sima Yi chuckled, stroked his long beard and explained: "To draw fire, to take advantage of the situation, to test, to show power, to create momentum, to force the emperor to abdicate!"

"what?"

Shisui was stunned, and spread his fingers and muttered to himself: "Draw fire, take advantage of the situation, test, show power, create momentum, and force the palace. Aren't these six steps?"

Unexpectedly, Sima Yi laughed and said, "The first three are the first step. I was afraid you wouldn't understand, so I split them up. The middle two are the second step, and forcing the emperor to abdicate is the last step."

In fact, there is another step, which is to keep a way of retreat. After all, there is a saying that man proposes, God disposes. He must ensure Shisui's life after failure.

However, Sima Yi concealed it and integrated it into other actions.

I'm afraid you don't understand.
Shisui lowered his head, feeling deeply shocked.

"What about the clan meeting this afternoon?"

"Someone will help you start the fire, you just need to wait for the right time."

Shisui lowered his head and thought, and after a moment he seemed to realize something, "To draw fire to the Fugaku clan leader?"

"Yes, you just have to wait and see how it performs. However, I estimate that the results will be available in three days at the shortest and five days at the longest."

Sima Yi also learned about the situation of the clan meeting, which was basically just moving to a larger place to argue.

Although the radicals are in the majority, given Fugaku's character he will definitely try every means to maintain the balance. With him as the clan leader secretly taking sides, there will be no results in the short term.

"As soon as Fugaku compromises, it's time for us to take action!"

I have sorted out the outline again. The first volume is almost finished here. I am still a little excited when I think about it, but my mood is also complicated. If I write too detailed, I am afraid people will say it is watery, but if I write too quickly, I am afraid it will be a little disappointing.
