Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 94 Uchiha's Courage
evening.

"The snow is getting heavier and heavier, I really hope this is the last one.

I'm sorry to ask you to help at this time. It seems that Brother Hui has been asked to work overtime. "

Inside the clan territory, Shisui was pushing some supplies towards the western wasteland, while Daohuo was beside him, also pushing a cart.

The two of them walked in from the outside and met many tribesmen along the way. Every tribesman would bow and salute after seeing Shisui, and Shisui would nod in response one by one.

Daohuo saw all of this, and when he heard Shisui's words of apology, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, Master Shisui is also doing this for the family. Someone like me who doesn't understand change, other than my own strength, really doesn't know how to help the family."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky. The hot air he exhaled blew away the oncoming snowflakes, but it could not blow away the confusion in his eyes.

"I spent the whole night thinking about what you said yesterday: 'Water flows according to the terrain, and soldiers win according to the enemy.' Only a wise man like you could say something so profound. It's hard for someone like me to understand it, even if I just try."

Shisui gradually walked to the front to lead the way, and said calmly after hearing this: "Change lies in opportunities, pursuits, and courage. However, if there are no opportunities and pursuits, it is not a sign of cowardice to keep the original state."

“Opportunity and pursuit?”

Daohuo was stunned for a moment, then chuckled after a little thought, "I don't quite understand the opportunity, but I do have some pursuits."

"Would you mind telling me about it?"

"Hahaha, it's no secret. I used to hope to be a powerful ninja, like my ancestors, with the power to maintain peace. Hahaha, now I think I'm still far from it.

As for now, I have joined the police department for so many years and participated in several Ninja World Wars. I have gained a lot and lost a lot. I just hope that the village and the family can live in peace.

It would be great if the clan leader could always lead us like before. When the Fourth Hokage became Hokage, we had already succeeded.

Why, did that happen?"

The sound of the rice fire gradually faded away. In such an environment, the power on which he relied for survival and pride was of no use at all. He didn't even know where to swing the knife in his hand.

"There's no need to be confused. Your kindness will be received by the Uchiha, as well as me."

Shisui smiled gently, looking at the senior, as if he was someone just as lost as he once was.

"That sounds like something you would say." Daohuo replied with a smile.

“No, I always meant it.

If you don't know the direction, why not try to follow me and I will take you there. "

Shisui turned around and looked at Daohuo quietly. Daohuo slowly stopped. Snowflakes were flying, trying to block the view, but they couldn't block the red color that looked like a flame.

"I see, is this opportunity and pursuit?"

Dao Huo chuckled. As one of the captains of the police department, how could he not know the rumors in the clan? It was just that he had been hesitating. Taking a step forward would mean betrayal.

“I used to have people I followed, but I never had to worry about choosing a direction because he would decide everything and I only had to watch his back.

During that time he was the hero of the clan and someone I had always believed in. I admired his strength, prestige, and wisdom, and I had no doubt that he would lead the Uchiha out of this predicament.

However, I don’t know when he started to hesitate and feel lost. Was it because of the setbacks and his family?

“Don’t blame anyone for meeting your expectations. This is what an elder taught me.

He has done very well. Although he is a little confused now, I have never blamed him for it. During that period of time, I also took him as a role model.

It's just that now, I think I can do better, for Uchiha, and to make him feel more relaxed. So, Senior Inahiro, I hope to make a change, and I have the courage to take action, what about you?"

Looking at Shisui's resolute face, Inahori seemed to recall the time he had spent with his companions, when they were just as confident.

"Huh? Um, isn't that Master Shisui?"

He didn't reply, but several figures walked slowly towards the wasteland on the snow.

They shrunk their necks and walked towards him the moment they saw Zhishui clearly, their faces flushed and full of excitement.

"Really, Lord Shisui, thanks to the work and supplies you provided, we can finally sleep well these past few days."

"Now those people outside the tribe are not targeting us anymore, and things are cheaper. I don't know if they are taking care of us. Hahaha, it's unlikely~"

"It must have been done by Shisui-sama. Thank you so much. It's a pity that my child is not good enough, otherwise I would definitely let him go to Shisui-sama's house to be a guard. I would protect Shisui-sama even at the cost of my life!"

"Your calculations are really loud. Shisui-sama doesn't need your son's protection!"

"We are the ones talking. Now shut up. Even Shisui-sama can't speak anymore."

Several people were talking to each other, their lips moving rapidly, and the air became much warmer.

Shisui just smiled and watched them chatting. After they quieted down, he said, "The family and the clan members have always been one. Your suffering is the family's suffering and my suffering. As a member of the Uchiha clan, it is my duty to help you to the best of my ability."

"You are worthy of being Master Shisui, thank you very much!"

Several people were moved, and they were extremely grateful and admired for Shisui's humility and gentleness.

"It would be nice if Shisui-sama was the clan leader."

Suddenly someone spoke up, and everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at that person and scolded him: "Don't say that directly, Master Shisui will be troubled."

"No, I should thank you for thinking this way. I will work hard! For the family and for you!"

Shisui did not deny it. Instead, he agreed readily with a smile. Everyone looked at Shisui, they were all a little surprised, and then excited.

"Yes, please, Master Shisui, you must do your best!"

Several people bowed, expressed their sincere blessings, and then disappeared into the snow.

Dao Huo watched all this quietly, and suddenly chuckled, "It seems that the result is out, and it seems that there is no need for me to answer that question anymore."

"No, the affirmation from Senior Daohuo is also a kind of spiritual strength for me."

"The power of the mind? What you said is always difficult for me to understand, but there is one thing I am sure of, and I must tell you."

"what?"

Daohuo raised his head and looked at Shisui, whose shoulders were covered with snowflakes, and raised his voice.

"I am Uchiha Inahiri, a member of the Uchiha clan, the most powerful family in Konoha. I have never lacked courage."

Shisui's eyes moved slightly, he nodded gently, then turned around and continued walking forward.

"I see. Let's see what kind of changes this courage will bring."
