Extra 6: A Bizarre Nightmare (Part 2)
Although I had thought that this would happen to me too.
But isn’t it a bit too much to put someone in a coffin right away?!
That’s right, when Yu Yue opened her eyes, the person was lying in the coffin and the lid was about to be closed.
She noticed that she lifted the white cloth from her face and started to do it. After a brief silence, the people around her…
“Aaaaaaaaa——”
“Ahhhhhhhhh——”
?
Yu Yue slowly typed a question mark.
She, who was stuffed into a coffin and almost buried alive, hasn't said a word yet.
But no matter what others shouted, Yu Yue felt that she had to climb out of the coffin first.
So she tried hard to push her heavy body, which was like a sponge soaked in water, to crawl out.
Then she realized what had happened.
To put it simply, it's about an orphan girl who lost her parents and was suffering from a terminal illness and finally succumbed to the disease and died.
I see, it means I don’t have my own timeline.
After going through this process so many times, Yu Yue has gained some understanding of this.
For example, the timeline of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha can be divided into the places you have been to and the places you have not been to.
Similarly, this can naturally be divided into two different lines: those with one's own influence and those without one's own influence.
Yu Yue first went to the hospital for a check-up. After confirming that although her condition was not very good, she was indeed alive, she stayed in the hospital for a few days to recuperate and then went home.
However, the first thing she did after returning home was not to rest, but to look up the subjects left for her according to her memory, and then went to the Hokage for a commission.
——Of course, she specifically chose Shisui to take the task.
Unlike other people's nightmares where they were more like bystanders, Yu Yue found that she could act normally in this dream.
If we don't take action, are we just going to continue lying down and waiting to die?
But this is actually Ugetsu's second attempt.
She had tried to find someone in Uchiha before, but the Uchiha here were different from the ones she remembered, who were arrogant but easy to talk to.
As an outsider, she was ruthlessly "asked" to leave before she could even get close.
Of course, saying 'please' is an embellishment.
In fact, he was driven away.
The entire Uchiha clan was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, hunching their backs to defend against anyone other than the Uchiha clan.
Even though Yu Yue is just an ordinary villager, he is still someone who wants to be entrusted with a task.
But Ugetsu still managed to meet Shisui - just kidding, her years of experience dealing with ninjas and Konoha were no fake.
Uchiha Shisui didn't know why the girl insisted on letting him do this task, but as ninjas, it was not right for them to choose their tasks. Since she took the initiative to find him, it showed that she trusted him.
He just does it.
only……
This little girl named 'Yu Yue' knows herself too well, doesn't she?
Uchiha Shisui dared to say that even if his parents were still alive, they probably wouldn't understand him this well.
In other words, this can no longer be called understanding - it is more like a situation of telepathy.
No matter what she did, she knew what to do next.
If Uchiha Shisui had not confirmed that she was just an ordinary person, he would have suspected whether this person had some kind of ninjutsu that could read minds.
But precisely because she was an ordinary person, Uchiha Shisui found it even more strange.
Can an ordinary person who has no contact with his past really have this level of understanding of himself?
It's impossible that they really have telepathic connection.
Of course Ugetsu knew that what he did would make Shisui suspicious.
But what we want is to arouse the other party's suspicion.
Although with Shisui's personality, she would tell him directly: "I know that the conflict between you Uchiha and the village has almost reached its peak and is about to end. I also know that someone is coveting your Sharingan."
The other party will also listen to what you say seriously - but the information that comes to your door is never as reassuring and convincing as the information you proactively investigate.
This is a common problem among ninjas, and even Shisui is no... well, not so exceptional.
As expected, Uchiha Shisui began the investigation, and then naturally discovered the problem as expected.
Then he heard an incredible story.
Including another world, including the fact that he was not a ninja but an assistant to this... 'Miss Ugetsu'. And Uchiha not only did not break up with the village, but also became an important pillar of the village (tourism), and mastered an alternative but effective way to open the eyes.
What's even more outrageous is that Lord Danzo has been coveting the power of Uchiha. The reason why Uchiha's life is getting harder and harder is because of Lord Danzo's mischief.
Honestly, this is really hard to accept.
But to say that she is talking nonsense or trying to sow discord is wrong.
What she knew was too detailed and logical.
Plus…
Uchiha Shisui looked at the girl in front of him.
A sense of trust that he didn't even know where it came from told him that he wanted to believe her.
——Even if what she said was so bizarre and absurd.
But even if you believe it, it will take time to sort out so much information and find corresponding solutions.
And then again.
"Ms. Yu Yue, what do you want to do by telling me this?"
He cared .
After all, she has so much intelligence and information, so even if she wants to overthrow a ninja village, it should not be impossible.
“Well.”
Yu Yue held her chin and thought about it.
"Maybe... I hate tragedy."
Especially what happened to Shisui.
If it was just the common ninja things like disagreements between teammates without getting hurt or feeling lonely, it would be fine, there would always be someone to reconcile or get through it together.
But gouging out your eyes and jumping off a cliff...how can that be possible?
It won’t work if it’s not your own Shisui.
Uchiha Shisui obviously didn't expect it to be so simple and... rather than a purpose, it was more like a reason for anticipation, so he was unable to react for a moment, and only opened his mouth dryly after a few seconds:
"……that's all."
"Yes, that's it."
Ugetsu shrugged.
"What else can I do?"
"After all, I can't become a Hokage. Not to mention the military strength, I have to complete missions, go to the battlefield, and work all year round. What's the point?"
Uchiha Shisui: ...Well, they really haven't considered it from this perspective.
But it does make sense... No, the Hokage is the glory of a village and cannot be measured by workload.
So... maybe she really is just broad-minded and can't stand the tragedy, so she gave a special reminder?
That night, Uchiha Shisui couldn't sleep.
But even though I had insomnia, I still couldn’t stop thinking.
It didn't take long for Uchiha Shisui to make up his mind.
——Done.
Anyway, the worst is just rain and moon
The young lady mentioned the result of the Uchiha clan's extermination.
Now that they know how bad it is, then no matter what they do, isn't it for the best?
Uchiha Shisui has always been a man of action.
Now that you have made up your mind to do it, you must seize the time to start.
"So what do you need me to do?"
He found Ugetsu early the next morning.
"Well." Yu Yue touched his chin.
"Let's have breakfast first, and then... go make money."
Without money, you can't move forward. This principle is universal in every world.
After the deal was settled, the two people, both of whom were very proactive, hit it off and started working.
Yu Yue used some rebellious ninja bandits to exchange gold for start-up capital, and then he started to set up his stall.
Make money, and then use money to make more money.
After so many times in the ninja world, Yu Yue is very familiar with these jobs.
She accumulated huge assets in a matter of minutes - of course, this was not just her own effort.
There is also sponsorship from kind-hearted 'old friends'.
That's right , Ugetsu took some time out to meet up with her 'generous and wealthy' old friend Cardo.
Since she already knew where the other party would do something wrong, as an 'old friend', it would be a shame for her relationship if she didn't go and take a look.
With the complete property generously given by Cardo, the following things would naturally be much easier.
Whether it was bribing the high-level officials of the Land of Fire to contain Danzo and other high-level officials of Konoha, or expanding one's own industries and power, everything was going on rapidly.
Although this Shisui is not the one that Ugetsu is familiar with.
But as long as the other party was willing to cooperate, he quickly got into the state.
——But unlike the Shisui in another world, Ugetsu trusts this Shisui but is not close enough to him.
It was like there was an invisible wall between the two of them.
Since Yu Yue did not approach him actively, Uchiha Shisui would naturally not overstep his boundaries in front of this 'benefactor'.
Until one day, Yu Yue opened her eyes and saw the other person smiling at her beside the bed.
"...Shisui?"
"It's me."
Shisui's originally polite and gentle yet distant face revealed an intimate expression.
"You're here too."
Ugetsu smiled and held out her hand.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Miss Yuyue."
“It’s hard enough.”
Ugetsu sighed exaggeratedly.
"I was almost sealed in a coffin as soon as I arrived. Who can bear this?"
"What--"
Uchiha Shisui obviously didn't remember this incident and his eyes widened immediately.
Yu Yue took advantage of the moment when he was panicking and pulled him onto the bed.
“This world is truly terrible.”
She said as she found a comfortable position.
"So let's sleep together for a while."
Uchiha Shisui wanted to ask more details, but seeing that Ugetsu had closed his eyes, he had no choice but to be his pillow.
After waking up, they found another surprise.
——That means it’s not just Shisui.
The rest of the 'nightmare army' also joined in.
This is really unexpected.
But on the other hand, now they don’t have to worry about manpower issues.
So before the end of the month, Danzo fell.
The downfall was so fast that the Uchiha clan leader who had previously participated in the cooperation didn't even react.
"Is this... the end?"
He said dully.
"yes."
Ugetsu nodded.
Originally, Danzo was not a very cunning guy.
The reason why he is difficult to bring down is simply because he has been operating for too long and has infiltrated Konoha too deeply.
But if we really want to talk about how cunning and resourceful he is.
…Honestly speaking, Yu Yue really feels that it is not good enough.
In modern society, it is not called a big factory.
The intrigues in any company with several hundred employees are more serious than his.
"The Uchiha can take part of the vacant positions and benefits, but I suggest not to take too much - give some to other families, and form a community of interests so that they can develop better and gain power in the future."
"Okay, okay."
Uchiha Fugaku's voice was still a little weak.
To be honest, when he heard Yu Yue's plan, he was prepared for a long battle - at least one that would last for years.
I never expected that Danzo would fall before even a year had passed.
The Uchiha's status was restored.
"Of course, the issue of reputation still depends on future management. Although as a famous ninja clan, it is not wrong to be arrogant, but if you want to coexist with the village for a long time, a proper good reputation is still necessary."
Of course, it doesn't mean that Uchiha must be a "good person".
But it is definitely more worthwhile to have a good reputation than to have a bad reputation and be suspected and questioned all day long.
"I understand." Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
Of course, he also knew the importance of a good reputation - don't those successful families all have a good reputation?
"but……"
He was just a little worried.
After all, Uchiha’s past reputation in Konoha was really... not very good.
"There's nothing good about it. It's better to say that a low starting point is actually a good thing for Uchiha."
Ugetsu shrugged.
"After all, if a person who doesn't have a good reputation suddenly does something good one day, it will be more impressive than if a person who often does good things does something good."
Just like going from 98 to 99 would not give people much of a feeling, but if it is from zero to one, it would be a distinct change that everyone can see.
Uchiha Fugaku: ...
I really don't know whether this is a compliment or an insult. !
