Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 44 This is not something you would say

Shisui's face suddenly changed and he subconsciously spoke out to stop him.

Even he found a dangerous man like Orochimaru difficult to deal with.

If a person with that gloomy personality became Itachi's teacher, Shisui couldn't even imagine what the two of them would do together.

"Ok?"

Fugaku paused holding the teacup. He looked at Shisui with some confusion, not understanding why Shisui reacted so strongly.

After all, Orochimaru is one of the three ninjas and a disciple of the Hokage, so he is fully qualified to be Itachi's teacher.

"Lord Orochimaru already has a disciple, and don't you think his personality is not suitable for teaching Itachi?"

Personality.
Fugaku thought about it carefully and felt that Orochimaru was indeed a little weird, and his reputation had been declining before the Fourth Hokage came to power.

But
"For the Uchiha, some sacrifices are necessary, not to mention he is my son."

Fugaku also felt helpless. If the Fourth Hokage were still alive, perhaps Itachi would have become his disciple.

"According to the information I got from the Anbu, Lord Orochimaru is very close to Danzo. Danzo will not agree to him taking Itachi as his disciple, and even if he agrees, it will not be out of good intentions."

Danzo is a trouble that the Uchiha cannot avoid, and Fugaku knows this very well.

Recalling the targeting in the Hokage's office during the day, he fell silent. The two looked at each other but had nothing to say.

"Lord Orochimaru is unreliable. Leave Itachi to me. I hope Itachi can train with me. When the time is right, I will introduce Itachi to Lord Sandaime and have him join the Anbu."

Shisui bowed down, his tone sincere.

Fugaku was moved. He stared at Shisui and asked, "Why do you have to go to this extent?"

"For Itachi, and for the future of the Uchiha!"

Shisui looked up, his expression was solemn and his eyes were as sharp as torches.

He mentioned Itachi and Uchiha, but did not mention Konoha. Fugaku felt Shisui's determination from the bottom of his heart.

He was shaken again, but he still didn't give in, because Itachi represented more than just his son, more than just a member of the Uchiha clan.

"I will convince the clan members, Itachi, and let the Uchiha people teach them. Please, clan leader!"

"That's not something you would say."

Fugaku was surprised, as if he was meeting Shisui for the first time, but this time he did not refuse.

He crossed his arms, his expression calm, and nodded, "But if you can do it, Itachi will leave it to you."

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

Shisui showed a look of joy, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked away.

Itachi walked out at the right time. He had been listening nearby, and both Shisui and Fugaku knew exactly where he was.

"Itachi, from now on, please choose a time to go to Shisui to practice."

"Yes, father."

Itachi had a small smile on his face, which made Fugaku slightly stunned.

"Then I'll take my leave now. I'll find another opportunity to report to you about the Anbu."

"Well, be careful and don't expose yourself."

After greeting Fugaku, Shisui looked at Itachi again, and seeing some reluctance in Itachi's eyes, he slowly raised his hand and stroked his short hair.

"Remember to come and practice tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Hmm~"

After Shisui left, Itachi stood in the hallway looking out, but he didn't see Fugaku looking down at his hands in deep thought.

Does Itachi like head patting?

In the study room of Shisui's residence, Sima Yi was still reading quietly, and on the table were various ninjutsu and blood abilities recorded by the Uchiha clan.

Many of these ninjutsu not only record the ninja clans that are proficient in these ninjutsu, but also the training methods and restraint methods.

It was rare for an Uchiha to be able to do this. The detailed records saved him a lot of trouble. He only had to take a quick look and write it down.

On the other corner of the desk were more than a dozen pieces of intelligence he had processed, some of which were sent by Hui and some that were inquired by Jinhuo and others.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

As I was flipping through the pages, Shisui's voice came from a distance, followed by a knock on the door.

"Come in." Sima Yi replied casually without looking up, turning the pages of the book in his hand.

Shisui pushed the door open and walked in, carefully approaching without saying a word, and stood quietly beside him.

"Ok?"

Sima Yi realized something was wrong and looked up, only to see Shishui's eyes were evasive and his expression was conflicted.

He chuckled and asked, "Tell me, what's so difficult?"

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from grandpa." Sima Yi spoke first, and Shishui felt a lot more relaxed, and hurriedly moved closer to add more tea for him.

"It's not a big deal actually. Grandpa still remembers Itachi, right?"

"The eldest son of the clan leader, what? Do you want me to teach him?"

"Eh? Grandpa, you..."

Shisui was stunned, his expression extremely surprised, "Grandpa, how did you know that?"

Sima Yi glanced at Shisui and shook his head, "You mentioned him and it's so difficult. What else can you ask me to teach him? Well, bring him here. It will be easier to observe him if I keep him under my nose."

Sima Yi still remembered how dangerous the weasel was, and he could deal with it at any time.

"Really? That's great! Thanks, Grandpa!"

Shisui was overjoyed, as he had thought it would be difficult since Sima Yi had urged him to take action before, but he didn't expect that he would accept Itachi so easily.

"He will come over tomorrow and I will introduce you to him."

Sima Yi nodded and didn't care. The itachi was just a small problem now and he could just deal with it perfunctorily.

He put the book down and handed the pile of information on the table to Shisui.

"Let's take a look at this first. This is what happened in various places in Konoha today. They are all related to the Police Department. It seems that someone is doing it in secret."

Shisui took it and looked at it, his expression quickly becoming serious.

Ninjas clash, villagers quarrel, peripheral merchants have their property stolen, and spies from other countries are exposed but escape calmly
Each and every one of these things are trivial matters if taken individually, but when put together, they fully demonstrate the incompetence of the Uchiha.

Shisui frowned, but instead of getting angry he asked, "Grandpa, can we take this opportunity to propose to the Third Generation that we expand the guard team?"

Sima Yi's eyes flashed with surprise, "That's really not something you would say."

Eh?
Shisui was stunned, why did these words sound so familiar?

However, Sima Yi still gave some affirmation, "It's a good idea, but unfortunately the timing is not right. They are unlikely to agree. For now, we should focus more on the internal affairs."

"What about these?" Shisui raised the information in his hand and asked puzzledly.

"The top brass is busy suppressing the police department, and the clan leader and elders are busy dealing with it. Both sides have no time to take care of other things. I have almost understood the situation of the family and the village. It is time to move on to the next step."

"Are you going to take action against Chief Fugaku?"

Shisui was in a low mood and even a little impatient, but he did not avoid the topic. After today's contact, he was more certain that Fugaku would only lead Itachi to a dead end, and the Uchiha could not be handed over to him.

"Haha, it's still early. The important thing is to develop yourself first, and leave the rest to fate. Remember, only stability can last long."
