The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

In the blink of an eye, the Shimada clan has returned to the Land of Fire for more than a month.

During this month, the Country of Fire fell into a strange tranquility.

It seemed that everyone was indifferent to the sudden intrusion of the Shimada clan.

As for the Shimada clan, they have not been idle in the past month. Over the past month, the Shimada clan has sorted out all aspects of their affairs and gained a firm foothold.

As for those matters, they included annihilating the bandits entrenched in the eastern part of the Fire Country, restoring order around the base, sending people to take over the family property that had been transferred and hidden by Yi Teng, etc.

Although it is a trivial matter, it will take some time after all. The Shimada family also spent a month to deal with it properly.

In addition, the family's residence has gradually been restored and renovated, and the layout of some key areas has also been completed.

It is worth mentioning that, under the strong advice of Shigegen and Hitomi, Hanzo and Terumi Kaoru officially left the old house and moved out to live alone.

Of course, now, the two people's house can be regarded as the "patriarch's residence" of the family.

As the clan leader's residence, the new residence built by the clan members for Hanzo and Terumi Kaoru is quite luxurious.

With many tasks completed, the Shimada clan's plan is about to be implemented.

"Clan leader, it's almost time to take action."

At noon that day, in the newly built conference room, the great elder said to Hanzo with a solemn expression.

Even though he had deduced it many times before, the great elder was still very cautious when it came to actually taking action against the Thousand Hands clan.

Hanzo also nodded solemnly.

The way the Shimada clan chose to exert pressure was similar to the previous wars between the Senju and Uchiha clans.

It is to send ninjas to destroy the opponent's mission and attack the opponent's ninjas who are performing the mission, which is commonly known as a war of attrition.

What the Shimada clan wants to do is to put pressure on the Senju clan, but it does not want to have a decisive battle with the Senju clan, so this method is the best choice.

"Chief, this is the list of ninjas decided by the elders to go into battle." The great elder handed over the list in his hand.

"The fourth elder and the fifth elder lead the team...and there is an elder Hyuga..."

Hanzo looked at the list in his hand and found that the elders had arranged more for the new generation of ninjas in the family during the past three years of recuperation.

Of course, there are also experienced ninjas as squad leaders who are responsible for guiding young ninjas.

Hanzo understood what the elders meant.

After three years of training, although the number of ninjas in the family has initially recovered, the new generation of ninjas have not experienced the baptism of the battlefield and are still a bit immature compared to the elites of the family.

Although this mission is just a small test compared to the real war, it can also play a certain role in training.

That's true, but...the so-called new generation of ninjas are actually just a group of seven or eight-year-old children.

Although he has lived in the ninja world for more than ten years, Hanzo has always been somewhat resistant to letting his children go to the battlefield.

But he had no choice.

If these ninjas were removed, the number of ninjas in the Shimada clan would be directly reduced by one-third.

When the time comes, facing powerful enemies like the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, the family will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

When the nest is covered, there are no eggs left.

The family is finished, and these children will not survive.

This is why Hanzo desperately wants to seek peace.

But now, although he can't stop these children from going to the battlefield, he still wants to do something for them.

Hanzo looked at the list, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this case, let Genji follow."

"Genji?"

The great elder was stunned: "Is it possible that some of the talents are overused?"

In the opinion of the great elder, Genji has now vaguely stepped into the level beyond jounin, and taking such a task... is really a bit of a sledgehammer.

Hanzo shook his head when he heard this: "We are just sending a signal to the Uchiha clan. If Genji takes action, it will allow the Uchiha clan to see our sincerity more quickly, and it will also ensure the safety of the clan members. If it is such a task

If something happens and too many people are lost, it’s not worth it.”

After listening to Hanzo's words, the elder thought for a moment and felt that it made sense: "Then let Genji go with him."

As the mission was issued, the ninjas of the Shimada clan set off quickly.

Although Genji is a bit lazy, he always completes the tasks assigned by his family without compromise.

…

"Ninja-sama, please take a rest here first."

In a forest somewhere in the Country of Fire, a caravan was pulling a cartload of goods.

Surrounding the caravan were ten ninjas from the Senju clan escorting them.

It was clearly an escort mission for the Thousand Hands Clan.

After all, ordinary merchants, including their guards and followers, are different from ninjas and cannot keep on the road. What's more, even if the people can bear it, the horses pulling the goods can't, so resting from time to time is a must.

"Yes." The ninja leader of the Senju clan nodded indifferently.

The leading businessman suddenly smiled with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Ninja-sama. I will make arrangements first."

If you didn't see the screen and just listened to the conversation, who would have thought that these condescending words were actually spoken by the employer?

But that's the truth.

Although ninjas are employed, due to their strength, merchants can only be trembling when facing ninjas.

"Everyone is on alert."

After sending away his employer, the leader of the Thousand-Handed Ninjas also turned to give instructions to his family members.

Of course, vigilance remains vigilance, but in the past month, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan have tacitly agreed to stop their actions. Without the targeting of their old rivals, who would really dare to attack the caravan escorted by the Senju clan?

Therefore, the leader of the Thousand Hands instinctively warned, he did not think that anyone would be so short-sighted.

But today he was destined to make a miscalculation.

"Pfft..."

The dull sound of kunai entering flesh.

A Senju Ninja was killed instantly, and a hand covered his mouth.

The ninja let out a muffled groan instinctively and then lost his life.

From beginning to end, he didn't even give a warning to his companions.

"Next."

The Shimada ninja who took action gestured to his companions.

The few people continued to act, and soon two more ninjas were hit.

But the Senju clan is still the Senju clan.

After three people died, the remaining ninjas also realized something was wrong.

"who!"

The leading Senju ninja shouted angrily.

When the ninjas of the Shimada clan saw their traces exposed, they stopped covering up and attacked the ninjas of the Senju clan.

"one two three……"

A total of twelve Shimada clan ninjas took action.

The Senju clan's ninjas lost three of them before the battle, seven against twelve. Although the leading Senju ninja was strong, he was only at the level of an elite chuunin, and the Senju clan quickly fell into a disadvantage.

"You are ninjas from the Shimada clan? Why did you attack us?"

The Senju Ninja said angrily.

He also saw the emblem of the Shimada clan on these enemies.

"If you die, there will be no problem." The Shimada ninja who was fighting against him sneered, and then retreated violently: "Wind Release Vacuum Continuous Waves!"

"Water escape……"

In a great battle, the Senju Ninja were outnumbered, and five of them were killed in the end, while two barely escaped.

None of the ninjas of the Shimada clan were killed. Seeing that the team members wanted to pursue them, the leading ninja stretched out his hand to stop them.

"That's all, they still need to report the news..." the leader sneered.

Then he led the clan members away.

As for the group of businessmen, they have long since dispersed.
