The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Zhongnian, who had just arrived, looked at the three children in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

If possible, he did not want his seven-year-old son to go to the battlefield.

But this was the Warring States Period. In order to survive, both he and the other ninja clan leaders had to be ruthless.

Just some time ago, he also heard that Senjubutsuma's eldest son and Uchiha Tajima's eldest son were also active on the battlefield.

At a young age, he has a strength close to that of a special jounin, which attracts the attention of all races.

After these years of recuperation, the Uchiha clan has gradually regained its strength.

In that battle three years ago, the two clans completely became enemies, so the Shimada clan was always wary of the Uchiha clan's revenge.

Fortunately, the arrogance inherent in the Uchiha clan can sometimes lead to bad things.

Over time, the Yuromo clan, which had shared the same pain with them, also fell out with them.

Of course, what is more important is the growing strength of the Shimada clan.

The Uchiha clan is recovering, and the Shimada clan is naturally not idle either. Shimada Shigenen's strong reputation also makes more and more minor ninjas seek asylum from the Shimada clan.

Counting vassals, the Shimada clan now has nearly 900 combat-effective ninjas, which is definitely a giant among the ninja clans.

"Genji, you should go home first, mother is already waiting for you." After a moment of silence, Zhongnian first let Genji go.

This is normal, after all, Genji is still young, and missions and wars are still some distance away from him.

After Genji left, Zhongnian's face suddenly became serious.

"During this period, I have seen your growth." Zhongnian said to Hanzo and Motojiu, "However, without experience, you will never become a qualified ninja. Tomorrow, I will arrange for you to undergo the third

A mission. The difficulty is very small. The main purpose is to help you change your mentality as soon as possible. I hope you will not disappoint me and all the people in the tribe."

Although he said it to the two of them, the three people present knew that Chongnian was talking to Hanzo.

As the owner of the Black Dragon Mark and the eldest son of the clan, Hanzo was born to bear the expectations of the entire clan.

In this regard, even Genji is not as good as him. Perhaps due to culture, the eldest son always has to bear more.

"clear!"

Looking at Zhongnian's eyes, Hanzo said firmly.

Although three years have passed, the desire from three years ago has not been erased by time, but has gradually taken root and sprouted in his heart like a seed.

Just like Yuan Jiu, on the surface he seems to be much more cheerful than he was three years ago.

But Hanzo knew that he had never forgotten his hatred, he just buried it deep in his heart.

As long as there is an opportunity, he will explode without mercy.

Looking at his son who has begun to take shape, Zhongnian is also very happy.

I saw a scroll being taken out from the ninja tool bag.

"untie!"

A burst of white mist dissipated, and two sets of exquisite plate armor appeared in front of them.

One set is dark blue and the other is dark green.

"This is my apprenticeship gift to you. The strength of the two of you has completely surpassed that of the elite chuunin, and is not much worse than that of the special jounin. I believe that you will become a powerful ninja famous in the ninja world in the future."

Zhongnian said seriously.

"Thank you dad."

"Thank you, patriarch."

The two of them each picked up a set of plate armor. Hanzo picked up the dark blue set, while Motohisa chose dark green.

Although the armor looks ordinary, it is much more practical than the vests worn by ninjas in later generations, but it is slightly heavier.

But it's nothing to a ninja's physique.

Seeing that the two of them had put on plate armor, Zhongnian said to Hanzo again: "Hanzo, you should go back first, I will talk to Yuanjiu alone."

Hanzo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but looking at his father's serious eyes, Hanzo finally nodded.

Zuo Zhongnian won't do anything to Yuan Jiu. It's best to ask Yuan Jiu later.

Seeing Hanzo leaving, Zhongnian turned his attention to Motojiu who was quite worried...

On the other side, Hanzo's legs were much faster than three years ago, and he returned home quickly.

Soon after, Chongnian also came back. The family had dinner together and then went back to their rooms to rest.

"Huhu"

Listening to his brother's steady breathing, Hanzo quietly sat up, pushed open the window and jumped out of the house.

In the quiet night, the sound of the gurgling stream is very pleasant.

The sky full of stars and the bright moon were a beauty that Hanzo had never seen in his previous life.

But Hanzo Madara sneaked out in the middle of the night, naturally not to enjoy the night view.

Sitting on the big rock, Hanzo slumped down.

A nightingale flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder. Hanzo understood all the meaning of the nightingale's cry.

At this moment, Hanzo's body and mind were so peaceful that he faintly felt a special energy flowing between heaven and earth.

It was as if every time he refined chakra, he could feel physical and mental energy flowing through his body.

"Perhaps, this is the so-called natural energy..."

This is the most reasonable explanation Hanzo can think of.

After all, in the original work, Tenpyei Jugo has the ability to absorb natural energy and undergo incomplete immortal transformation.

If you want to absorb natural energy, you must first be able to perceive natural energy. Judging from the situation of Tianping Jugo, he has two situations: unconscious absorption of natural energy, causing "out of control immortal transformation", and conscious absorption of natural energy.

The former is more powerful, but will lose its sanity, while the latter can retain its sanity, but the increase in strength is slower.

No matter what, there is no doubt that Tianping Zhonggo's body can safely contain natural energy.

Hanzo has a similar ability to get close to nature as Jugo, so it is natural for him to want to pursue celestial magic.

But at the beginning, he had no idea about senjutsu, and he had no senior guidance like Fukasaku Sennin, which made Hanzo somewhat unable to start.

If you are an ordinary person, your exploration of celestial arts will only end here. At most, you will have the ability to "become an out-of-control celestial being" with both power and hidden dangers like Jugo after you reach adulthood.

But the biggest difference between Hanzo and ordinary people is that he knows the original work.

He watched from beginning to end as Sennin Fukasaku taught Naruto the art of sensu.

I can’t say I have experience, but at least I know some techniques that others don’t know.

For example, if you want to feel the energy of nature, you need to enter a state of "extreme tranquility".

In the past few months, Hanzo has been trying to get himself into a state of extreme tranquility.

At this point, his special ability helped him a lot. When he devoted himself to listening to the surrounding environment, he finally felt a strange and ubiquitous energy.

While he was delighted, he was also more certain that his special ability must be related to magic.

Although there are various speculations, and the power of senjutsu makes Hanzo greedy, the dangers of practicing natural energy are also real.

He didn't have the opportunity to try again and again like Naruto.

Therefore, what Hanzo can do is to experience natural energy as much as possible. With a physique adapted to natural energy, Hanzo feels that he still has a glimmer of hope.

"If I succeed, this will be my biggest asset in changing the world..."

Hanzo said silently.
