Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 149 Shisui: The Uchiha people are too contradictory!
Morning Guard.

"Captain, I heard that a new bloodline limit family came outside the village. The Anbu have very close contacts with them and treat them very well."

Uchiha Yashiro's tone was filled with worry.

Uchiha Fugaku was silent.

It's not that he didn't know, but everyone's demands made it difficult for him to make a decision.

Uchiha Fugaku sighed softly.

"Yashiro, I know what you mean, but what can we do now?"

"You can't just do nothing, right?"

Uchiha Yashiro whispered.

Fugaku shook his head slightly.

Uchiha is very strong, but Konoha is even stronger. Now, the problem he faces is that the people of Konoha don’t trust them very much, which makes Uchiha Fugaku have no place to use his strength.

He is very clear.

Leaving Konoha would definitely lead to death.

"I have inquired about the new family. They are not a large family worthy of attention. Their bloodline limit has serious problems, so there is no need to worry. But don't get too close to them in the near future to avoid causing conflicts."

Uchiha Fugaku whispered, "Go arrange the mission."

"Yes."

Yashiro sighed helplessly.

Then he called his men in the team and began to arrange tasks.

As a non-guard member, Shisui did not have to participate in the team's mission, so he ran upstream along the river.

Da da da!
He ran all the way, stepping on the splashes of water.

Soon we came to a lake.

This is very close to the abandoned training ground.

Facing the lake, Shisui formed seals with his hands and spewed fireballs from his mouth.

Art fire escape ho fireball!
As long as he was in the guard team, he would often practice and train along this route, and usually no outsiders would come here.

But today.

"You have good speed and you can use the Fireball pretty well. Your name is Uchiha Shisui, right?"

A voice sounded from behind him.

Who?
Shisui's whole body tensed up, and he jumped forward in an instant, landing on the water and looking behind him.

Jingyan walked out slowly.

Uchiha Shisui was slightly stunned.

The other person didn't seem to be much older than him, and looked only about ten years old, but just now, he didn't feel the other person's breath at all.

If Jingyan hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have known that someone was coming not far behind him.

The forehead protector is from Konoha.

but……

The possibility of espionage cannot be ruled out either.

Shisui remained alert and backed away slowly: "Who are you?"

"Don't be nervous. My name is Liangfeng Jingyan. I don't know if you have heard of me."

"Ryomine Kyouhiko?"

Uchiha Shisui was slightly stunned.

Of course I’ve heard of it!
Among the younger generation of Konoha today, some may not know the achievements of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, but they definitely know about Kyohiko's contributions.

To put it bluntly, he is an idol in the hearts of the younger generation, comparable to Tsunade's status among female ninjas.

Is the person in front of me really him?

Shisui was skeptical at first, but then he put his doubts aside.

In Konoha, no one dared to impersonate him.

"I've met senior."

Uchiha Shisui couldn't suppress his emotions, and his tone was filled with strong excitement.

Jing Yan smiled faintly and said, "Don't be too surprised. In fact, we have met before."

"Have you seen it?"

Shisui was at a loss.

Then, he searched his mind again, and finally his eyes gradually widened, with shock in his eyes.
He recalled the people he had met over the past period of time.

If the other party is not lying, then there are not many candidates. The most likely one is...

"The teacher next to the examiner during the ninja school entrance examination?"

“Good insight, analytical skills and memory.”

Jingyan's eyes were filled with admiration.

It was just a quick meeting, but with a little reminder, he was able to find the corresponding person from his memory. This ability far exceeds that of his peers.

No wonder he was able to master the art of teleportation, swordsmanship, and illusion to a very high level at such a young age.

not simple!
He became more determined to win over the other party.

Shisui said ashamedly: "I just haven't met many outsiders, so I can find the corresponding person quickly."

"At your age, few people have such meticulous thinking. Of course, this is not a big deal. Talent also needs hard work to develop. Otherwise, no matter how good the talent is, it will be useless."

Jingyan said with a smile.

Shisui nodded heavily, agreeing very much——

In front of him, no one in Konoha dared to boast about their talent, and he himself had no reason to be proud of his talent.

but.

"Senior, are you just passing by?"

"I came over there and took a look at the situation at the training ground."

Jing Yan did not hide it and said with a smile, "I am considering renovating this place and using it as a training park for the surrounding villagers."

"really?"

Shisui's young face was filled with surprise, "If that's the case, that would be great!"

"I'm just afraid that your family members won't agree."

Jing Yan said.

Shisui shook his head and said, "How could that be? This is a good thing for everyone!"

"Then I have to ask you for a favor."

Jingyan squatted down.

Shisui nodded, "Please give your orders."

"There's a new clan over there. The quickest way for them to get to Konoha is to go through the forest, the training grounds, along the river to the guard post, and then into Konoha. Go and listen to what the clan's attitude toward their clan is."

Jingyan laughed.

Shisui showed hesitation.

Inside the family...

He knew that some voices within the family were not suitable to be revealed to the outside world, otherwise it would bring disaster to the family.

in particular--

The person in front of him was a powerful figure in Konoha and was definitely not an ordinary jonin.

Shisui didn't dare to answer.

Jing Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just want you to listen to their attitude. As for whether you want to tell me or not, it's your freedom."

"This, okay."

Shisui nodded.

He looked up at Jing Yan, and then couldn't help asking, "If I want to see you again, where should I go?"

"All you have to do is come here and stick a kunai in the lake, and I'll know."

Jing Yan said, handing over a talisman, "When the time comes, I will use my own means to contact you."

"Use it?"

"Correct."

Jingyan nodded.

Shisui carefully put it away and preserved it.

He looked up and was about to ask something else, but was suddenly stunned.

Where is Liangfeng Jingyan's figure by the lake at this moment?

If there weren't clear footprints on the grass, he would have thought that everything just now was an illusion.

Instantaneous technique?

Do not!
It should not be.

The legendary space-time ninjutsu?

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but feel envious and yearning.

Then he turned around and ran quickly home.

No exercise today.

The voice of the family...

If Jingyan asked him to find out the news and tell the other party, Shisui would definitely be on guard, but the other party's attitude seemed to be more of asking him to listen and think about it, more like giving him a test question to think about.

“Will this be my chance?”

Such thoughts came to Shisui's mind.

He bolted back to the guard.

"Shisui, why didn't you go to exercise today?"

"I'm almost done with the Fireball, and I want to practice my swordplay a little more."

Shisui replied.

Dao Huo couldn't help but teach him a lesson: "At your age, you can't be greedy. The best way is to practice one skill in depth and well!"

"Ok, I know."

Shisui nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I still have to go on patrol, you can practice slowly."

Daohuo waved goodbye. Shisui breathed a sigh of relief, and then practiced with his sword while listening to the conversations of the tribesmen around him.

This is the best solution he could think of!
……

A month later, on the lake shore.

In the past half month, Shisui heard a lot of voices and thought a lot.

At such a young age, after paying careful attention to these things, he became more and more confused.

In his opinion, many tribesmen were filled with inexplicable pride and contradictions, and there were many truths that even he could understand but those tribesmen could not.

Full of doubts, he finally decided to insert the kunai that had been discussed earlier.

Shisui touched the talisman close to his body and sighed inwardly.

"I hope you will respond to me."

He continued to exercise along the same route as before, but with his mind preoccupied, he found it difficult to concentrate.

This situation also lasted for a month.

……

"Shisui, are you still practicing swords today?"

"Practice. Sword skills will be wasted if you don't practice for a day."

Uchiha Shisui responded.

Uchiha Inahiri had a complicated expression and patted his shoulder.

"I wish I had worked half as hard as you did when I was your age."

"My little bit is nothing. Brother Daohuo has also worked hard."

Shisui smiled modestly.

Uchiha Inahiro laughed dumbly and waved his hand: "Alright, stop flattering me. I have to deal with a dispute among the villagers today, so I can't train with you."

"It's okay, I can practice on my own."

Shisui smiled.

Watching Uchiha Inahori leave, he subconsciously touched his pocket and suddenly found something extra.

A note.

There is only one word on it.

"Come".

He glanced around, then quickly sheathed his blade and left the guard team.

Soon, by the lake.

A familiar young man stood by the lake. In front of him, the lake was slowly spinning with a vortex.

Shisui ran over, a look of curiosity and shock on his face.

Is this practicing water escape?

Directly manipulate the lake...

It’s too fierce!
Before, he only had a vague idea of ​​Jing Yan's strength. After seeing this scene, he felt the obvious gap -

You absolutely can’t do it yourself!
Not just him.

There may not be many people in the tribe who can do it.

"senior."

Shisui was extremely respectful.

"meet again."

Jingyan smiled slightly.

He is very busy and of course he doesn't come over to check every day. For things like this, all he needs to do is ask Yamato and the others to pay more attention when they pass by during training every day.

These days, he has been involved in research on acupuncture points and medical treatment and has no time at all. The only thing that came over was a wooden clone.

Shisui said embarrassedly: "Originally I didn't want to trouble you and wanted to figure it out myself, but I really can't figure it out..."

"Ok?"

"These days I listened to their conversations and voices, and I found that people in my family..."

Shisui hesitated, not sure whether he should say it.

after all.

This is a family matter.

After thinking for a moment, he sorted out his words and said, "They are eager to be recognized, but they don't want to interact with others. It's full of contradictions."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Jingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A child could see it clearly, but many Uchiha people didn't understand.

He laughed for a while, then stopped.

"What do you think is the reason?"

"I do not know."

Shisui shook his head.

If he knew the answer, he wouldn't have been troubled for so many days.

Jingyan's eyes showed admiration.

Shisui didn't know, but he was able to patiently think about it for a month, and only asked for advice when he really couldn't figure it out. This quality is rare and precious.

He sat on the grass and motioned for Shisui to sit over there.

Then, Jingyan pointed to the Ibri tribe in the distance.

A month passed, and the existence of the Ibri clan had been known to most villagers. The guard team led by the Uchiha clan was close to their clan territory and naturally knew everything about that place.

"They are quite repulsive and hostile to the Ibri people, right?"

"..."

Shisui lowered his head and said nothing.

Jing Yan smiled and said, "You don't have to feel embarrassed. In fact, according to my observations and research, many villagers were hostile to them at the beginning."

This kind of mentality mostly comes from the children of the family.

after all--

Every additional family in the village means an additional competitor.

"Why are you hostile to them for no reason?"

Shisui was confused.

This is where his doubts came from.

Jing Yan drew a circle and said, "This is a cake breakfast that you like, but for every child that comes, you need to share some of the cake. Will you like them?"

"Maybe, no."

Shisui hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.

"You see, this is human nature. In a village, families can be considered people, and interests are cake. Which category do you think Uchiha belongs to?"

Jingyan answered and then asked another question.

Shisui pondered.

He had been thinking about the reason for the past month, and Jingyan's words made him feel like the clouds had been cleared and the sun had been shining, but there was still a layer of mist covering it.

What type of people are Uchiha?

cake……

If we follow the idea of ​​dividing the cake, then there are only two types of participants, one is the owner of the cake, and the other group of people are there to divide the cake.

He thought for a long time, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, thinking of the history of the Uchiha clan -

The Uchiha once built Konoha together with the Senju!

This is a widely circulated history within the Uchiha clan, and because of this the Uchiha clan gained the power of the Guard.

"I seem to understand."

"Ok?"

“People in our family think of themselves as the masters of the cake, not the ones who divide it.”

Following Kyohiko's reminder, Shisui immediately understood the psychological state of his clan members.

They feel...

I should be the master of the village and not be satisfied with my current living conditions.

“That’s one of the reasons.”

Jingyan nodded.

Shisui's mind works quickly. He is smarter and easier to teach than many people.

but.

Shisui was not satisfied.

What he was thinking about was——

One of the reasons?
That being said, there were some factors he hadn't expected.

"Did you think of it?"

"No."

Shisui shook his head.

"It's okay. Think about it slowly. You are still young and have a lot of time. You have plenty of time to think and study."

"come on!"

Jingyan smiled and stood up.

He was about to leave.

Shisui immediately called out, and after a pause of one second, asked, "Senior, can I still find you the old way?"

"Of course, I'll come over as long as I have time."

The next moment, his figure disappeared.

Uchiha Shisui sat by the lake.

He discovered a reason, but had no solution in mind, and according to Jingyan's description, there seemed to be other reasons for Uchiha's situation.

Now Shisui is even more confused.
