The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Standing in front of Hanzo was Kaoru Terumi, who was engaged to Hanzo more than two years ago.

Time flies, and in two years, Terumi Kaoru has grown from a young girl to a tall beauty with long brown hair tied into a ponytail, looking particularly capable.

Hearing that Hanzo said something so embarrassing when they first met, Kaoru Terumi couldn't help curling her lips: "Tsk, I really don't understand the style..."

Hanzo suddenly had a headache.

As for Genji next to him, he could hardly stand upright with laughter.

This kid is no longer the ignorant kid he once was.

Although he doesn't have the ability to do bad things yet, he understands everything.

At this time, Yuanjiu finally opened the door and walked out, and said to Hanzo in a funny way: "Just have fun, Miss Xun asked to come with me this time."

Hearing what Motojiu said, Hanzo stayed where he was.

However, a blush flashed across Terumi Kaoru's face, and then she quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to follow the family and hunt down those old, weak, women and children."

But with these words, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

However, Hanzo and Genji understood somewhat.

In the alliance, the Terumi clan now bears the heaviest combat obligations. Naturally, most of the task of finding ordinary clan members hidden by the Ghost Lantern clan falls on the Terumi clan.

But Terumi Kaoru found it hard to accept killing ordinary old and weak people who had no power to resist.

Although her reason told her that she should do this, and the fathers and elders around her all advised her so, in the end, she couldn't stand such a so-called "war".

After months of self-torture, she couldn't bear it anymore and chose to find Motojiu and come to the Shimada clan.

At this time, Renmei also opened the door and walked out. She smiled and said to Meixun: "Good boy, don't worry about them. Just stay here with peace of mind."

"Well, thank you, auntie."

After hearing this, Terumi Kaoru quickly covered up the trace of disappointment on her face.

But Hanzo knew it.

Perhaps Terumi Kaoru's own wishes were on one side, but without Terumi Ei's acquiescence, Terumi Kaoru would not have been able to come to the Shimada clan so smoothly.

It seems that Teru Meirong has sent someone to inform the family in advance.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the house, Zhongnian pulled Hanzo into the study to talk alone.

"Terumi Rong has already sent someone to visit the family." The expression on Zhongnian's face was a little strange: "He said that he asked us to take good care of his daughter..."

Hanzo: "..." What does this mean?

Zhongnian paused and said: "So what the family means is that you will be an adult in about a month anyway, so I might as well hold your coming-of-age ceremony and wedding together. At that time, I will also officially hand over the position of clan leader."

for you."

"...No, am I being arranged now?"

Hanzo couldn't help but blurted out.

Zhongnian's expression looked confused: "Isn't this normal? It's your birthday in a month. Coming of age ceremony is a matter of course. Terumirong also asked us to take good care of his daughter. Doesn't the hidden meaning be that we hold the wedding as soon as possible?

Well, finally, your old father has been sitting in the position of patriarch for more than 20 years, so it’s not too much to retire now, right?"

Hanzo: "..." I was speechless.

Zhongnian looked at Hanzo, who was speechless and choked, with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "Boy, do you want to fight me? You are still young."

However, Zhongnian patted Hanzo on the shoulder and said earnestly while walking out of the study: "Son, people must learn to grow up..."

Hanzo was left alone in the study: "..."

Speechless.

…

"Clan leader, is it really okay to just send the young lady to the Shimada clan?"

At the alliance station, the leader of the Terumi clan was camping, and the second elder of the Terumi clan frowned and said to Meirong.

This second elder has grown up with Terumi Rong, and he is regarded as Terumi Rong's absolute confidant among the elders.

In the past, many of the decisions made by the Terumi clan were made through private discussions between the two of them and then implemented through high-level meetings. Many of their ideas were roughly the same.

But this time, the second elder was a little disapproving of Terumiei just letting Terumi Kaoru run away to the Shimada clan.

It's not that he wants to break the contract, it's just that although ninjas don't care much about etiquette, it would be a bit embarrassing to send their daughter to the Shimada clan like this.

He also knew that in recent months, Terumi Kaoru had complained a lot about how the Terumi clan had killed the young and old of the Oniden clan on the battlefield.

So after several things happened, the second elder felt that Terumi Rong might have done this out of selfish motives of father and daughter.

In fact, other elders of the Terumi clan may not have this idea, but they just didn't say it explicitly.

The second elder was willing to explain what he said, but it was because he had no small intentions and was just out of public interest.

Terumi Rong heard this and shook his head: "What's the point? We are ninjas, not those nobles in the Water City. We want to save face, hum..."

It was obvious that Terumi Rong didn't care about the so-called face at all.

Strength is respected among the ninja clan, and even if the Terumi clan is embarrassed, it will not shake their status in the slightest.

"But... but we don't seem to gain much by doing this?" the second elder asked doubtfully.

The face of the Ninja clan is not valuable at all, but there is no need to give it away in vain.

Terumi Rong smiled: "That girl Xun'er has been engaged to the Shimada clan for so long. It's normal to get married now. What's more, if we don't go, the Shimada clan will return to the Land of Fire. We have no intention of breaking the contract.

That’s just right.”

The second elder thought for a while and felt that what Teru Meirong said seemed to make sense, so he stopped questioning it.

"Then chief, who should we send to the young lady's wedding?"

The second elder asked one last question.

Terumi Rong touched her chin and said, "I remember...it will be Shimada Hanzo's coming-of-age ceremony in more than a month."

The second elder nodded and said, "Yes."

Although this kind of small information is of little use, intelligence personnel usually record it conveniently.

As Terumi Rong's confidant, the second elder naturally controls the family's most important intelligence department and knows all about it.

Terumi Rong said: "That's right. Although I haven't received the invitation yet, I think the Shimada clan will probably put the coming-of-age ceremony and the wedding together. It can be regarded as a double happiness."

As he spoke, Teru Meirong's tone couldn't help but feel a little sour.

No matter what, she was the daughter he had raised for more than ten years, and she had taken advantage of another boy. Even if he knew that he was not Hanzo's opponent, he still had the urge to beat him up.

"I will go to the wedding by myself then."

What Terumi Rong didn't notice was that there was suddenly a hint of violence in his tone that made the second elder stunned for a moment...
