The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

The moon sets and the stars sink. As the moon gradually sets toward the horizon, Hanzo also ends his practice.

Although he didn't sleep for half the night, Hanzo didn't feel tired at all, and he even felt refreshed. I wonder if it was some hidden benefit of being in contact with natural energy.

He quickly rushed home and looked at Genji who kicked the quilt to the ground. He helplessly helped his brother tuck the quilt in and lay back on his bed.

After a short rest, beams of light began to gradually drive away the darkness.

Hanzo is now more and more sensitive to the outside world, and he gets up as soon as he feels the dawn.

After putting on his armor, checking his ninja bag and ninja sword, Hanzo walked out of the bedroom.

Just after he walked out of the bedroom, Genji, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, opened his eyes, and his eyes were suddenly red.

But how could Hanzo, who was extremely sensitive to his surroundings, not feel that he was pretending to sleep...

Outside, Renmei and Chongnian were already waiting for him.

There is a rich breakfast on the table.

Seeing her son come out, Hitomi suddenly came over and hugged him heavily.

Hanzo could understand his mother's worries and hugged her back.

Although Chongnian did not speak, Hanzo also understood the look in his eyes: Come back alive.

"Don't worry, mom, your son is very strong." Hanzo comforted him softly.

After hearing this, Hitomi calmed down her emotions and said with a forced smile: "You brat, you've grown so big in a blink of an eye. Mom is waiting for you to stand at the top of the ninja world."

Hanzo also smiled and said, "It won't be long."

"I'm quite proud. Let's eat quickly."

"Um."

…

After bidding farewell to his parents, Hanzo came to the training ground where the Shimada clan gathered for ninja expeditions.

Yuan Jiu was already waiting for him there, and after Hanzo, several other tribesmen came one after another.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the fifth elder who led the team began to hand out the task content to everyone.

This mission was led by thirty ninjas led by the fifth elder. The mission was to exterminate the water ghost pirates raging in the eastern waters of the Land of Fire.

The person who issued the mission was the "Town Executive" of Daming Prefecture.

The town official is also an official position in the Daming Prefecture, and his main responsibilities are justice and public security.

As for those water ghost pirates, you need to know that the water ghosts that wreaked havoc during the Warring States Period were actually mostly wandering ninjas or bereaved dogs that survived the destruction of the ninja clan.

These people have little pursuits, are precarious, and have a certain amount of strength. They are often lawless and crazy when fighting.

The Daming Mansion rules the Country of Fire, and ordinary small groups of bandits will turn a blind eye. They don't care, and wealthy businessmen will join forces in twos and threes to hire ninjas to eliminate them.

But this time the pirates are obviously not small players, at least they are not something that wealthy businessmen can solve.

Merchants can't do business and can't make money, and Daming Mansion will also lose a considerable amount of tax revenue.

The daimyo, who had effectively lost military leadership, could not tolerate the loss of his own money.

This time, the Shimada clan was hired with a large sum of money to destroy these pirates.

"Everyone must be aware of the situation of this mission." After a moment, the fifth elder said.

"The mission makes it very clear that no one will be left alive among the water ghost pirates. I know there are some newcomers in this mission, but I don't want anyone to slip up and tarnish the reputation of the Shimada clan."

As he said that, he also glanced at Hanzo and Motojiu.

The two of them shouted loudly along with the other tribesmen: "Yes! I understand!" However, they could not help but feel a little nervous in their hearts.

No matter how much psychological preparation he had done before, before the actual battle, Hanzo still didn't know whether he could really make up his mind to kill him.

In this way, with some anxiety, Hanzo and Motojiu set off together with the fifth elder and all the clan members.

…

Although the fifth elder brought not many people this time, everyone at least reached the level of chuunin.

The Shimada clan was based in the eastern part of the Land of Fire, but in just a short while, the endless coastline appeared in the eyes of the ninjas.

"stop!"

Just when everyone was about to jump out of the woods, the fifth elder suddenly called to stop.

After hearing this, everyone stopped and spontaneously converged on their tracks.

The fifth elder looked at the reactions of the tribesmen, nodded, and then said: "Ahead is the territory of a small country, called the Country of Waves. This country has no ninja of its own, is weak, and has always been attached to the Country of Fire. But in the end

It's a local snake, we need to get some information."

As he said that, the fifth elder looked around, and finally stopped at Hanzo and Motojiu.

Obviously, this mission is one thing, but for the family, what is more important is to train Hanzo, the heir.

And these ninjas are not so much here to do a mission as they are to escort Hanzo.

Otherwise, even if those thieves are not weak, they are not worthy of the family dispatching an elder and more than twenty clan members with chuunin strength or above.

Sure enough, when the fifth elder named Hanzo and Motojiu, the other ninjas were not surprised at all.

Hanzo and Motojiu were also mentally prepared, put on a little disguise, and set off with the Fifth Elder.

At this time, all three of them put away their ninja tool bags and put their ninja swords on their waists, as if they were dressed as samurai.

The fifth elder, who is well-known in the ninja world, also uses the transformation technique.

He was originally in his thirties and transformed into an old warrior who looked fifty years old.

The three of them seemed to be a combination of one master and two apprentices.

This is also very common in the current Fire Nation.

Compared to the family inheritance of ninjas, samurai continue their most traditional master-disciple model.

Moreover, samurai do not have so many complicated ninjutsu. For ordinary people, if they want to have a certain amount of force, becoming a samurai is the most realistic choice.

However, in comparison, samurai are much worse than ninjas in terms of combat effectiveness and practicality.

The disguises of the three Hanzos were quite successful, at least they did not attract any attention on the streets of the capital city of the Land of Waves.

Although it is said to be a capital city, in fact, from Hanzo's perspective, it is really just a slightly more prosperous village.

Not far out of the capital, we arrived at the border of the Country of Waves. It was really an extremely small country.

Compared to Hanzo's memory, the scenes in the plot of Wave Country were much more depressing.

The three of them did not stay any longer in this "village", but went straight to the Daming Mansion in the Country of Waves.

Compared to the simplicity of the capital city, Daming Mansion is much more luxurious. At the very least, it looks like a quite elegant courtyard.

Naturally, this courtyard was not built by a poor daimyo from the Land of Waves, but was kindly sponsored by a daimyo from the Land of Fire for the purpose of maintaining the majesty of the daimyo class.

This time, the town of Fire Country hired the Shimada clan to eliminate pirates, and naturally notified the daimyo of Wave Country to assist.

Although the Daimyo of the Country of Waves is a Daimyo in name, he is just a poor man who relies on the Country of Fire to survive. When faced with the orders of a high-ranking official like the "Minister of Public Security" of the Country of Fire, he naturally agrees.

Moreover, the Shimada clan, as one of the most powerful ninja clans in the ninja world, cannot be offended by the Kingdom of Waves. Therefore, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Waves simply takes this matter as seriously as receiving the Sage of Six Paths.

I heard that there will be some kind of welcome party for the Shimada clan.

The fifth elder, who has always been serious and fiery, naturally has no patience to attend any banquet. Moreover, if the news leaks out, the pirates will break into pieces and flee in all directions. By then, there is no telling how much energy will be spent chasing them.

As a result, the fifth elder actually jumped over the wall with Hanzo and Motojiu and entered the Daming Mansion of the Country of Waves...
