The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

With the departure of the four Hanzos, the Terumi clan also began intensive reconstruction work.

At this time, the great elder of the Terumi clan walked up to Terumi Rong and whispered: "Clan leader, don't you think it's too coincidental? The Shimada clan..."

Before the great elder finished speaking, Terumi Rong stretched out his hand to stop him.

"I got you."

Terumi Rong shook his head and said: "No need to think too much, the Shimada clan may have some plans of their own, but... they and Byakuren should not be the same group."

He could see clearly just now that Hanzo and Byakuren were really fighting with the determination to kill each other.

With his vision honed over many years as a ninja, he could conclude that the Shimada clan and Byakuren must be antagonistic.

Of course, it was indeed a coincidence that Hanzo happened to take action at that critical moment.

Terumi Rong also understood in his heart that Hanzo and the others might have arrived earlier, and they just sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight for a while before taking action.

But no matter what, if the Shimada clan had not reported the news first and provided assistance this time, it might be a question whether the Terumi clan would still exist after this war.

Therefore, from any point of view, the Terumi clan has no position to blame the Shimada clan.

Moreover, their senior leaders can deduce these things, but a large number of ordinary ninjas and tribesmen may not be able to see them.

For a long time to come, the image of the Shimada clan to the Terumi clan will be a combination of allies + benefactors + thighs.

In fact, the Terumi clan has been deeply influenced by the Shimada clan.

At best, they are more independent than the Hyuga clan.

After thinking about this, Terumi Rong sighed.

At this point, the Terumi clan has no choice. At least the Shimada clan can provide effective shelter for the Terumi clan.

If they fall out with the Shimada clan, the Terumi clan may soon be annexed by other ninja clans.

Seeing Teru Meirong's reaction, the great elder understood that the clan leader had already made a decision.

He could only bow slightly and obey the clan leader's decision.

…

On the other side, the four Hanzos were also rushing towards the family quickly.

"Hanzo, Patriarch Terumiei may have seen something."

While running, Yuanjiu was the first to speak.

Hanzo nodded when he heard the words and agreed: "After all, he is the leader of a large clan, so he still has some insight."

"Then our action..."

Yuan Jiu frowned and hesitated. He was a little worried whether his previous suggestions were superfluous.

If the Terumi clan becomes stubborn and simply turns to someone else, it will be a huge loss.

"Don't worry, Brother Yuanjiu."

Ayi next to him smiled and said: "The Terumi clan has no choice. Falling out with us now is tantamount to seeking death. If Terumi Rong is smart enough, he will pretend that this does not exist."

Hanzo immediately smiled and said, "That's exactly it."

As for Genji, listening to the conversation between the three of them, he was a little confused.

"What are you talking about?"

He couldn't help but muttered.

Hanzo: "..."

He didn't bother to explain to his brother that Genji was a bit careless in nature and had never been indifferent to such things, so naturally he couldn't understand the mystery.

…

In the following days, the news that the Terumi clan was attacked by Byakuren quickly spread throughout the Water Kingdom.

The first to be shocked were the other four major ninja clans.

This time is different from what happened to the Ghost Lantern clan last time.

Each of the four major ninja clans has their own intelligence network, and they have the deepest knowledge of the detailed battle between the Terumi clan and Byakuren.

The last time White Lotus attacked the Ghost Lantern clan, although it greatly damaged the Ghost Lantern clan's face, the Ghost Lantern clan did not suffer much loss.

Afterwards, everyone discovered that Bai Lian had kept her hand.

This made the four great ninja clans subconsciously believe that although Bai Lian was crazy, he was also wary of the great ninja clan and would not easily offend them to death.

But this time the tragic situation of the Terumi clan slapped them hard.

The four major ninja clans knew that if the Shimada clan's reinforcements had not arrived in time, the Terumi clan would have been removed from the five major ninja clans.

Moreover, they also discovered that the Terumi clan had made preparations in advance.

At least, they transferred ordinary members of the tribe.

With preparation, he was able to almost wipe out the Terumi clan, which made the top leaders of the four major ninja clans understand that they still underestimated Byakuren.

Especially the Mikigaki and Kaguya clans, which do not have strong men beyond the Jonin level.

The Terumi clan is no weaker than them. Since Byakuren can push the Terumi clan to this point, he can also face them.

Even the Kaguya clan, which is rich in war madness, can't help but feel frightened.

It is true that they are warlike, but they are not willing to die in battle.

After all, the Terumi clan still has the protection of the Shimada clan, but they can really only rely on themselves.

For a time, both families began to send envoys to the Oniden, Minazuki and Shimada families to test whether the three parties had the intention to form an alliance with them.

Of course, the ghost lantern family is the least expected.

After all, they had been blasted by Bai Lian before, and the two families didn't have much hope for them. They were just trying to save face.

More attention is still paid to the Minazuki clan, which possesses the boundary of the Ice Release Blood Successor, and the Shimada clan, which has defeated Byakuren head-on twice.

At this time, they couldn't care less about any sectarian opinions.

The family is facing a life and death crisis, who cares about that?

No matter how the Shimada clan is, they are truly a super powerful clan with two strong men who surpass Jonin at their command. They are truly a powerful clan.

…

The residence of the Minazuki clan.

"Clan leader, both the Gansaki clan and the Kaguya clan are showing signs of surrendering. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There is nothing to hesitate about."

An elder of the Minazuki clan stood up excitedly and said.

Minazuki Arashi, who was at the head, remained silent.

How could he not know what the elder said? But yesterday, the Shimada clan suddenly revealed the news to the Minazuki clan, which shocked him greatly.

"Is it really possible for the Ghost Lantern clan to join forces with Bai Lian?"

Minazuki Lan had some doubts in her heart, but she had to admit that the other party's statement made sense.

Ghost Lantern Huanyue and Ghost Lantern Yanyue have the same potential as water and fire, and Shui Wuyue Lan is also clear.

Combined with Bailian's retentiveness in the Oniden clan and her ruthlessness in the Terumi clan, he couldn't help but think too much.

But the plan proposed by the Shimada clan also puzzled him.

The Shimada clan secretly supports their alliance with Inikikaki and Kaguya, and even the Terumi clan will provide support when necessary.

This plan has done no harm to the Minazuki clan from beginning to end.

If there is only one disadvantage, it is that Byakuren will regard the Minazuki Alliance as the first target of attack. The Minazuki clan has become the gun of the Shimada clan.

But... so what if I become a gun?

The Minaduki clan got real benefits. The Shimada clan used them as spearmen, but Minazuki Arashi couldn't see where the Shimada clan's gains were.

He didn't believe that the Shimada clan would be so old-fashioned and heart-warming. If the Shimada clan ascended the throne at this time and shouted, he knew very well that compared to himself, the Inogaki clan and the Kaguya clan would be more willing to form an alliance with the Shimada clan.

All kinds of doubts made Shuiwu Yuelan confused.

It’s not his fault. Even if he were killed, he would never have imagined that the Shimada clan was going to perform a series of repeated horizontal jumps before jumping back to the Land of Fire.

The starting point was wrong. Naturally, he could not imagine the Shimada clan's plan.

"That's all, if you continue to break up and suffer chaos, I will get the benefits first. With strength, no matter what situation I face, I can handle it with ease!"

After a while, Minazuki Lan made up his mind.
