Chapter 197 Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha
Chapter 197 Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha
Soon, it was time to leave school. Parents got up to pick up their children, or groups of friends left the school together, discussing where to go play.
"Sassy!"
"One against seven Nissans!"
Sasuke, who had been expressionless, immediately broke into a happy smile upon seeing his brother.
"How was your day at school? Did you have a good time?"
Itachi took Sasuke's hand and asked him about his time at the Ninja Academy.
Sasuke pursed his lips.
"It's just so-so. I already know everything the teacher teaches, so there's no point in learning it."
Upon hearing Sasuke's answer, Itachi reached out and tapped Sasuke's forehead with his finger, smiling as he spoke.
"Alright, Sasuke, the reason I sent you to the Ninja Academy isn't so that you'd learn ninja skills. It's more about teaching you how to get along with others. You're the son of the Uchiha clan leader, and you bear the responsibility of maintaining harmonious relations between the Uchiha clan and the village, do you understand?"
Sasuke held Itachi's hand, puzzled.
"But, aren't you still here, Nissan?"
Itachi's expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly masked it and said.
"Yes, I am here, but Sasuke, you also need to grow up, don't you? You are an Uchiha!"
Sasuke nodded after hearing what Itachi said.
"I understand, Nii-san. I will do it. I want to become an Uchiha like Nii-san!"
"Haha, Sasuke, what you need to do is not to become an Uchiha like me, but to become an Uchiha who surpasses the Uchiha, understand? Not just an Uchiha of the Uchiha clan, but an Uchiha of Konoha."
Although Sasuke didn't understand what Itachi meant, he still nodded and said so.
"I understand, Nissan. I won't let you down."
He didn't know what to do, but he would try his best to be a good younger brother who wouldn't disappoint his older brother.
But he didn't know that his brother was about to disappoint him.
The night of annihilation is drawing ever closer.
Although Shisui's death temporarily suppressed the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha clan and Konoha have a long-standing grudge, and the friction is now becoming increasingly serious.
It's estimated that the Uchiha clan will rebel again soon.
The Land of Grass, in the capital of a daimyo.
Zhishui is handling documents from the Grass Kingdom and the Business Alliance.
During this time, he stayed by Tetsuya's side and watched Tetsuya handle these things. After watching for a while, he suddenly asked himself if he could do it.
Shisui was also taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Tetsuya meant, but he still politely replied that he understood a little.
Unexpectedly, he simply dumped all these official duties on me to handle.
This is a national affair, how could you just hand it over to an outsider like this?
And those alliance-related documents—these are all confidential documents. How can they be shown to just anyone?
However, considering that Uchiha Izuna and the Second Hokage are still in charge of the Land of Grass, it seems understandable why the Chiba Daimyo is so bold.
After processing the documents for a period of time, he also gained a lot.
For example, I have gained a better understanding of the Land of Grass and the business alliance system.
At the same time, he also took note of what the ninja world was like outside of the ninjas.
It turns out that removing the ninja profession did not have a significant impact on the ninja world.
Beyond the order of the ninja world, there exists a larger political and commercial landscape.
In fact, commerce has a greater impact on a country than ninjas.
This made him even more interested in this business alliance. After carefully reviewing the documents and studying the statistics for a period of time, he realized...
These are small countries that the major powers usually look down on, and which the five great ninja villages use as mission sites. They are merely commercial alliances, but the potential they contain should not be underestimated.
If this were to completely unify these small countries...
A bold idea flashed through Shisui's mind: if these small countries were united into one great power, its war potential would probably surpass that of the five great powers.
Moreover, Tetsuya seems to have expressed this idea on several occasions.
"Yo, Shisui, are you done with your work?"
He walked in carrying a food box.
"Chiba Daimyo, I have finished dealing with it. Please take a look."
"Hey, hey, didn't I tell you? Just call me by my name, or Mr. Chiba. Just leave the finished documents there, you don't need to show them to me. I trust your abilities. Come and have something to eat."
Zheye placed the food box on the table and unceremoniously pulled out a chicken leg from it and started eating it.
Seeing the juicy chicken leg, Zhi Shui also felt a bit hungry. Without any restraint, he picked up his gloves, put them on, and started eating.
Tetsuya said as he ate.
"By the way, when you were in the Uchiha clan, did you have any close friends? Or perhaps a junior who particularly trusted you?"
Upon hearing Tetsuya's words, he immediately thought of his close friend, Itachi Uchiha.
"Yes, his name is Uchiha Itachi."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Tetsuya coughed twice before speaking.
"Um, is this the only one? Are there any others?"
"Mr. Chiba, is there anything I can help you with?"
Tetsuya smiled and said.
"There really is. If, and I mean if, your Uchiha clan is about to face annihilation, do you have any thoughts about saving a few people?"
"The Uchiha clan? Annihilation?"
Zhi Shui frowned slightly, but the next moment he realized something.
"Mr. Chiba, have you received any news?! Is a conflict about to break out between the village and the Uchiha clan?"
"Well, how should I put it? The Uchiha clan and Konoha do have some minor frictions, but it hasn't reached the point of breaking out into a conflict yet."
"What exactly happened, Mr. Chiba? Please tell me, I beg you."
As he spoke, Shisui Shonen Shonen also bowed deeply.
"Well, how should I put it? Well, in a few days, I'll take you back to the Uchiha clan's territory and you'll see. But there's one condition."
"Whatever the conditions, as long as they're not too outrageous, I'll definitely agree!"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that you can't reveal your identity on some day."
"Okay, no problem, I definitely won't expose myself."
Shisui immediately agreed.
As long as we can figure out what's going on, not exposing ourselves is no big deal.
Seeing Shisui's excited expression, Tetsuya revealed a smug smile.
Beautiful. Shisui is still too young; she's already fallen for his trap.
Hehehe, once you witness the night of the annihilation, your fighting spirit will be even stronger when you face your best friend in the future.
