Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 96 I Don't Want to Fight

The two of them rested until the next morning.

"What the police department wants is the respect of the villagers, and the harmony of Konoha is not excluded. Now that prices are falling, the villagers' hostility will gradually disappear. There is also a seven-day prison for non-clan ninjas, so the villagers will not target us again in the short term.

Then spread the news and attribute the credit for the price reduction to the police department, so that even ordinary members of the tribe will be looked up to.

Of course, ordinary people just want a stable life. Those merchants who deliberately targeted them have been thrown into jail, and the remaining small vendors have become much more honest after being intimidated.

We will build more buildings within the clan and give some of the hard-working clan members a job. This way, the wishes of both the upper and lower levels of the clan will be satisfied, and the only ones left are the elders and middle-level ninjas."

In the study, Sima Yi explained in detail to Zhishui the purpose and significance of his recent actions.

Shisui listened and nodded repeatedly, adding, “The Great Elder has sent a letter, and the elders he represents have all expressed their full support for me to replace Chief Fugaku.

As for the Second Elder, although they did not express their support directly, they would give their utmost support as long as it can prevent the coup for the sake of my grandfather. "

Sima Yi nodded, stroked his beard and said: "In this case, there are only middle-level ninjas left in the entire clan."

Upon hearing this, Shisui further said, "Grandpa once taught me that winning the hearts of the people is the best strategy for success. Although time is tight now, I want to go one step further and win the hearts of the entire clan to decide the fate of the family together."

"Hahaha, good, I am very pleased that you have such an idea. You can tell me in detail." Sima Yi stroked his beard and laughed, very satisfied.

Shisui looked a little excited, and after thinking for a moment he replied, "I want to invite some of the ninjas in the clan to come to my house for a party. I will try to find out who is willing to support me and who will oppose it at noon."

Sima Yi frowned slightly after hearing this. The method was not crude. After all, it was already too late. This was already very good.

"Yes, you can also use this method to test the leader of the Fugaku clan, but what excuse do you plan to use to invite them here?"

"Since we migrated from our tribe and lost some of our ancestral heritage, our tribe has become increasingly impoverished. They have also seen the lives of ordinary members of the tribe recently. We can use this as an excuse to invite them to discuss solutions."

Sima Yi shook his head slowly. "It's a good idea. If it was earlier, we could have tried to slowly try to win them over. However, we have to act tonight, and there are hundreds of ninjas in our clan. This method is time-consuming and laborious, and may not be very effective. There is no need to be so tactful."

"What reason should be used?"

Shisui was puzzled and looked towards Sima Yi expecting instruction.

“You already control the entire police department, which is the most elite force in the entire Uchiha, so why not make good use of it?
You can directly mention the rumors within the tribe that they want to replace the tribe leader in the letter, then have your confidant deliver it, and then mention the coup as external pressure. The moment they receive the letter, they will surely make a choice, and those who support you will naturally be willing to come.

I don’t want to come.”

Sima Yi's eyes were sharp, but after looking at Zhishui and thinking for a moment, he said gently: "Those who don't want to come can ask their trusted ones to take note, and then send people to secretly watch the surroundings of the clan leader's mansion.

If someone tipped them off, they could be captured directly. Even if not, they could be moved to one place before the action was taken, and they could be temporarily detained with a barrier or by someone else, and then dealt with after the task was completed."

"This"

Shisui frowned, but agreed after just a moment's hesitation. Things had come to this point, and he couldn't hesitate because of one or two clan members.

"I will ask Uncle Yashiro and Brother Hui to help me invite the ninjas in the clan before noon."

"Well, even so, there are too many ninjas in the clan. I have the family roster here, and I can help you select some influential or powerful ninjas from it.

There are also some ninjas who are said to admire you very much, and some even hope that you will become the clan leader. You can invite them over."

Sima Yi took out the marked list from the bookshelf and handed it to Shisui, who took it solemnly with an excited expression.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I won't let you down." "Well, go ahead."

After leaving home, Shisui did not go directly to the Police Department, but went to the Hokage Building first.

"Today's operation requires the help of the police department. I will temporarily confine the clan members to the police department. I hope that the third generation will let the Anbu people take over the work of the police department."

This proposal was exactly what Sandai wanted. He immediately nodded in agreement and gave orders.

An enemy assassin was discovered in the village, intending to assassinate Konoha's top brass. In order to protect the Hokage, the Anbu will take over all defenses in the village in the near future.

The order was quickly spread throughout Konoha.

The biggest reaction came not from the police department but from the villagers.

"Why are there assassins again? The Uchiha people just came back and we've only had a few days of good life. Is this the end? Will the Anbu people be like those guys?"

"Shh~ What nonsense are you talking about? This is to protect the Hokage. Keep your voice down or you'll be arrested for slandering the ANBU!"

Everyone was shocked, but the villagers kept complaining in secret.

Shisui called back the clan members who were still on patrol, and then announced the Hokage's order personally.

Everyone in the police department knew that today and tomorrow were related to the fate of the entire clan, so they didn't pay attention to what was happening outside the clan and stayed quietly in the lobby of the police department.

Afterwards, Shisui privately called Yashiro, Otetsu, Inabi and Teru.

The four of them came to an office and saw Shisui with a serious face.

Shisui looked at the four and got straight to the point, "I need your help in this tonight's operation."

The expressions of the four people changed, and then without hesitation, they bowed their heads and half-knelt.

"Yangzhe, immediately dispatch your trusted aides from the police department to seal off the Fugaku clan leader's residence. No clan member is allowed to approach today."

Yangzhe's pupils shrank, and he was shocked, but he still responded quickly: "Yes!"

"Yashiro, you and Inahiro will take people to deliver the letters I prepared to the people on the list. Make sure they reply in person, and those who don't want to come should write it down secretly."

"Yes!"

"Also, inform all tribesmen that there is an assassin infiltrating the village. No one is allowed to leave their homes after nightfall!"

"Yes!"

"Hui, I appoint you as the temporary captain of the first team. You will lead your men to the residence of the great elder to ask for the map of the clan's barrier. Then check the clan's barrier and open it after nightfall."

"Yes!"

After the order was given, Daohuo suddenly asked, "Then, where is Tiehuo?"

The three people had different expressions. After a moment of silence, Shisui replied directly: "I am not interested in fighting. This operation is only for the stability of Konoha and the longevity of the family. As long as he is willing to stay here honestly, I will transfer some people from the clan to him and let him guard the police department in case of emergency."

It was said that he was in charge, but in fact he was just monitoring. Everyone naturally understood that, but Dao Huo was relieved when he heard it, and replied: "That's good."
