The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Hanzo didn't know much about what happened to the Senju clan.

Although after receiving Motohisa's warning, Hanzo also ordered the family's intelligence personnel to pay attention to collecting information on Kiden Genzuki, Kiden Genzuki was extremely powerful after all, and the Shimada clan's intelligence officers had yet to achieve any results.

But this does not prevent the Shimada clan from preparing for this.

At this time, the Shimada clan was holding its first high-level meeting of the new year.

"Chief Jingyan is here, sit down quickly, I'm waiting for you."

As the last few senior members of the Hyuga clan took their seats, the meeting officially began.

"Everyone."

Seeing that everyone was seated, Hanzo was the first to speak: "I came to see you today to discuss two things."

Saying that, Hanzo paused, and then said: "First of all, the family has reached an agreement with the Uchiha clan to attack the Senju clan together in one month. We will gather in the Ash Valley in the west of the Fire Country, and then attack the Senju clan.

's residence."

As Hanzo finished speaking, the elders below also began to whisper.

Some of the elders responsible for commanding the tribesmen began to think about specific tactics, while those in charge of logistics, such as Yi Teng, began to calculate how much various materials such as kunai, detonating charms and military food pills should be prepared.

At this time, Hyuga Kaghiko suddenly said loudly: "Chief Hanzo."

All the senior officials immediately silenced themselves and looked at Hyuga Kagahiko, only to see him continue: "Who will command the coalition forces between us at that time?"

Hanzo smiled when he heard this and said: "The two of us are just temporarily cooperating. Naturally, our respective ninjas are under their own command. It's just a joint operation."

Hearing Hanzo's explanation, Hinata Jinghiko also breathed a sigh of relief.

As the Hanzo brothers became stronger and stronger, in the alliance between the Shimada clan and the Hyuga clan, the right to speak gradually began to tilt towards the Shimada clan.

Although today's Hyuga clan still has an "alliance" relationship with the Shimada clan, in fact, it is almost a vassal status, with at most slightly higher autonomy.

Fortunately, Hanzo generally does not break the rules easily. Since the Shimada clan and the Hyuga clan made such a contract, Hanzo will implement it to the end unless there are special circumstances.

Of course, there is also the reason for the advance and retreat of Hyuga Kagahiko.

Although the Hyuga clan still has certain seats in the top management, in recent years, the Hyuga clan has rarely put forward opinions that are contrary to Hanzo.

Although Hyuga Kaghiko's actions have gained enough favor among Hanzo and ensured the status of the Hyuga clan, it also has a sequelae, that is, in terms of specific military command, the Hyuga clan has less and less to say.

.

After all, Hanzo is not a fool. The Hyuga clan is wise, so politically Hanzo can support them, but militarily he must firmly hold on to them.

This was not a difficult choice for Hanzo, who had learned "Dragon Slayer Outline" when he was young in his previous life. Anyone with a bit of brains would understand.

Therefore, Hyuga Kagahiko's question just now is because he is worried that once the Shimada clan and the Uchiha clan jointly command, with the poor military power of the Hyuga clan now, I am afraid that in this joint battle, the Hyuga clan will have no choice but to follow the trend.

.

If it's a normal battle, that's it.

But this time the opponent is the Thousand Hands clan.

Even if the Shimada clan and the Uchiha clan join forces, they can't say they can win this war 100%.

After all, a few years ago, the Shimada clan personally staged a huge comeback.

With such an opponent, Hinata Jinghiko cannot help but be careless.

And Hanzo's reply was a reassurance for him.

After dismissing Hyuga Jinghiko, Hanzo continued: "The elders also heard it. After they went back, they asked the clansmen under their command. In addition, the clansmen who have reorganized the team should also let them get along as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"Yes! Patriarch!"

Several elders responsible for tactical command all saluted.

Hanzo nodded slightly when he saw this: "The second thing is about the information provided by the head of the branch family Yuan Jiu not long ago.

According to the information collected by the branch in the Kingdom of Water, Ghost Lantern Huanyue has probably left the Kingdom of Water. This person has a lot of enmity with our Shimada clan. I believe that after he leaves the Kingdom of Water, he will probably come against us. I don’t know.

Do you have any ideas on how to deal with it?"

After Hanzang finished speaking, the fifth elder below said: "Clan leader, I think that with the strength of Ghost Lantern Huanyue, fighting alone will only cause us a little trouble at most. And if he really wants revenge, he can only

One way..."

As he said that, the fifth elder's eyes flashed and he said slowly: "That is to use the power of the Senju clan or the Uchiha clan!"

The fifth elder's analysis was obviously recognized by everyone, and the elders all nodded in agreement.

The fifth elder looked around and continued: "Although the Senju clan is stronger than the Uchiha clan, after all, the Senju clan is now facing a pincer attack from our two clans. Even if Ghost Lantern Huanyue gets together, it is likely that it will not affect the overall situation, so I

I believe that this ghostly lantern, Phantom Moon, is probably lurking among the Uchiha clan."

At this time, the second elder also suddenly said: "When the fifth elder said this, I remembered a little piece of information."

Hanzo was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the second elder.

The second elder bowed slightly and said: "Clan leader, this information was originally just a trivial matter, but after listening to the fifth elder's analysis, I think it might also be a piece of evidence."

He paused slightly and said: "Yesterday, family intelligence personnel noticed that a violent explosion occurred near the Uchiha clan, and the explosion range even spread to a radius of nearly a hundred meters."

"oh?"

A look of solemnity flashed in Hanzo's eyes, and he whispered: "An explosion of this magnitude... Explosion Escape... Mutual use of detonating talismans... And... Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon?"

Although Hanzo's voice was not high, everyone sitting here was not at least a jounin, so naturally everyone heard Hanzo's words clearly.

For a while, the elders started discussing in various directions.

Indeed, an explosion of this level cannot be achieved by ordinary means.

In the past, only the Kingdom of Earth's Explosive Escape Blood Succession Limit could achieve this effect.

Of course, in today's ninja world, no matter whether it's Kito Gengetsu who created his own steaming hazard explosion power and water ball technique, or Senju Tobirama who developed the mutual detonation talisman, they can do it too.

However, according to the information, it is naturally impossible for Senju Tobirama to fall into a trap near the Uchiha clan, and Bakujutsu is not a common blood successor even in the Earth Kingdom, let alone the Fire Kingdom.

In this way, it is obvious who did it.

What Hanzo can think of, the elders can also think of.

The fourth elder said angrily: "Clan leader, this Uchiha clan is too short-sighted. The Senju clan is still doing well, but they are thinking about internal strife. What is the use of such an alliance?"

There are also many elders who hold the same opinion.

Although in the Warring States Period, scheming among ninja clans was common, the Uchiha clan's behavior this time was so explicit that it could be called unscrupulous. No wonder the elders were unhappy.

Seeing this, Hanzo had no choice but to comfort the elders: "Guys, please be patient."
