The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Some people may think that if the status of the daimyo is really not guaranteed, it would be better for the top ninja clan like the Shimada clan.

However, senior officials of the Shimada clan believe that the existence of daimyo can limit the degree of struggle among the major ninja clans.

As the saying goes, no order is better than no order at all.

The first purpose of the family is to continue, and money and power are just means.

If we really fall into a fierce war, the space for strategic maneuvering will be squeezed for everyone. This is something the Shimada clan does not want to see.

Just like in the Spring and Autumn Period, the majesty of the royal family still existed, and although the battles between princes were much more intense than in the Western Zhou Dynasty, they were still subject to certain restrictions.

However, following a series of events such as Zheng Zhuanggong shooting an arrow on the king's shoulder and King Chuzhuang seeking the throne in the Central Plains, the majesty of the royal family was shattered.

The densely packed feudal lords all over the Central Plains soon had only a few left.

Although Chongnian and the elders of the Shimada clan do not know these things, they still understand the principles.

At this moment when the Senju clan is empty, if they want to maintain this order, the Shimada clan must stand up, not to mention the huge reward from the daimyo.

…

Now that they have decided to take on the mission and the opponent is still so tough, the Shimada clan will naturally come out in force.

During this operation, only Hitomi and a dozen ninjas remained behind in the family.

For the sake of safety, ordinary members of the Shimada clan simply abandoned their base and moved to the most secluded shelter for temporary residence.

The remaining people, nearly a thousand ninjas including the clan leader Shigenen and the nine elders, will attack the Uchiha clan.

Even the former Grand Elder Shimada Hidenaga, who had retired for three years, chose to volunteer and accompany his family on the expedition.

Although Chunen was a little bit intolerant, this war was of great importance. Even though Hidecho was old, he was once an elite jounin, and his current strength could at least reach the level of a jounin, which was considered a high-end combat capability.

The Shimada clan went all out this time, so there was no such thing as concealing information or sneak attacks.

Just kidding, if the Uchiha clan couldn't detect the transfer of nearly a thousand ninjas, they would have disappeared into history like countless ninjas.

The Uchiha clan is extremely arrogant, but in terms of strength, it is undoubtedly one of the ceilings of the Warring States Period.

In the north of the Land of Fire, the residence of the Uchiha clan.

"Bang!"

Uchiha Tajima was very angry and smashed the table in front of him.

"Those idiots from the Shimada family, are their heads filled with money? What good will it do them to fight with us?"

At this time, Uchiha Tajima was really confused.

Before taking action, he knew that the Senju clan's clones were weak. As long as the Shimada clan chose to remain silent, the Uchiha clan's gains would be in vain.

Otherwise, if the Thousand Hands clan did nothing, he would really have to worry about the two clans joining forces to attack them.

In his opinion, those who benefited the most from the collapse of order were the three first-tier ninja clans, Senju, Uchiha and Shimada.

So he was sure that the Shimada clan would not take action.

But he never expected that the Shimada clan felt that maintaining order was a more advantageous option.

For the Uchiha clan, as long as the Shimada clan takes action, no matter they win or lose, they will suffer a big loss.

"Clan leader." The elder of the Uchiha clan said with a sullen face, "It is useless to talk about this now. Since the Shimada clan has come to provoke us, we must teach them a lesson and let them know that our Uchiha clan is not

It’s easy to mess with.”

Teach the Shimada clan a lesson.

This is the current consensus among the Uchiha clan.

Although the senior officials know that the strength of the Shimada clan is no less than that of the Uchiha clan, most of the Uchiha clan members subconsciously believe that except for the Senju clan, no other ninja clan is Uchiha's opponent.

Therefore, the Shimada clan became even more angry when they came to visit.

Uchiha Tajima's face didn't look good at this time either.

To be honest, he didn't want to fight this battle with the Shimada clan.

In today's Fire Nation ninja world, there are no major forces that have good relations with their Uchiha.

The reason why everyone stood still was firstly because of the rules of the game among the ninja clans of the Fire Country, and secondly because of Uchiha's strength.

On the other hand, the Shimada clan has maintained relations with the Senju clan and the Daming Prefecture over the years. It has also repeatedly courted the Hyuga clan, which is not deeply involved in the world, and the relationship between the two parties is not bad.

If the strength of the two clans were equally consumed, the Uchiha clan would be the most dangerous.

But what the great elder said is also right.

If the Uchiha clan really chooses to give up, not only will the family's reputation be greatly affected, but Uchiha Tajima will no longer be able to stay in the position of clan leader.

Publicly and privately, he and Uchiha Tajima must fight this battle.

"Give me the order, all the clan members who are over seven years old and have the strength of genin or above will go out to fight. Seventh Elder, you stay in the clan and hide in the shelter with the ordinary clan members, and the rest will follow me to fight." Uchiha Tajima finally said.

Still a decision was made.

"Yes!" All seven elders sitting here responded.

With the Uchiha clan out in force, the atmosphere in the entire Fire Nation ninja world became tense.

However, at this time, the Shimada clan was still rushing to the north of the Fire Country.

In this battle, they are on the offensive side, which means they are destined to have no way of setting up an ambush on an enemy's only path and waiting for work.

After all, the key to this battle is speed.

The Uchiha clan must be defeated quickly to serve as a warning to the monkeys.

If they don't take the initiative to attack, the Uchiha clan will happily engage in a sit-down war and achieve their goals without any effort.

Due to climate reasons, the most common thing in the Fire Country are dense and towering trees.

The ninjas of the Shimada clan kept moving forward on the tree.

Hanzo is naturally one of them, he is beside Chongnian.

Suddenly, scattered chakra appeared in Hanzo's perception.

"Clan leader."

Hanzo immediately spoke out. On the battlefield, Hanzo was not as casual as he was in private.

When Chongnian heard Hanzo's voice, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Stop."

Suddenly, all the ninjas stopped on the spot.

Almost all the ninjas of the Shimada clan have no sensory talent.

Since Hanzo has the ability to perceive, he will naturally not hide it. You must know that an excellent sensory ninja can completely turn a war around.

Hanzo was obviously very good this time.

Seeing that the ninjas of the Shimada clan suddenly stopped, Uchiha Tajima, who was originally ambushing in front, also knew that they had been exposed.

He knew that if the Shimada clan was allowed to enter a large-scale battle, they would not have to fight today.

Although the ambush was not possible at the moment, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan were still scattered in a 180-degree direction in front of the Shimada clan, forming a semicircle. The Shimada clan stopped in a hurry, and their position was also not ideal.

With so many favorable factors, Uchiha Tajima would naturally not talk nonsense and give the Shimada clan a chance to organize their army.

"Do it!"

Uchiha Tajima shouted violently.

Suddenly, countless densely packed shurikens, kunai and shurikens came from the front of the Shimada clan.

Some of them have flames attached to them, which is the Uchiha clan's unique art "Housen Fire Claw".

Shimada Shigegen also discovered that the tribesmen were in a position where they could not jointly perform ninjutsu.

He also knew that as long as Uchiha Tajima was not stupid, he would not give him a chance.

"Freedom to challenge!" Shimada Shigenen suddenly shouted loudly.

In the first round of the battle between the two clans, the Shimada clan saw through Uchiha's ambush, but was forced to enter a free battle, and the two sides tied!
