The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

"Father."

"Master Daming."

Just as the Shimada clan and Uchiha clan were preparing for the final battle, in the heart of the Fire Capital of Fire, as the master of this country, the Daming Mansion was also very concerned about the changes in the Ninja Realm of Fire.

Even Huo Daming, who had been ignoring political affairs for a long time, personally summoned the eldest son and Zong Quan, who was the prince.

Today's daimyo is much older than a few years ago.

The gray hair, deep wrinkles like a knife, sunken cheeks and hoarse voices all indicate that the master of the Fire Kingdom is already in his twilight years.

The two he summoned at this time, the eldest and the prince Zongquan, represented the two major forces in the Fire Capital, namely bureaucrats and nobles.

After the respectful greeting, with Daming's permission, Da Lao and Zong Quan sat on Daming's left and right sides respectively.

Unlike the previous summons, this time, Daming did not drink alcohol and there were no beautiful maids to accompany him. In a trance, Da Lao and Zong Quan seemed to have returned to the time when Daming worked hard to manage.

This feeling made the two subconsciously put away the contempt and perfunctory they had developed over the past few years and began to sit upright.

"I heard that the three major ninja tribes in our Fire Kingdom are about to reach an understanding, right?"

Daming didn't pay much attention to the changes between the two, but just lowered his eyes and slowly tapped the table in front of him, one, two...

However, facing such a famous name, Da Lao and Zong Quan couldn't help but become even more respectful.

After all, he ruled the Kingdom of Fire for decades and has always firmly grasped the Daming Prefecture and the Capital of Fire.

When he became serious, even though the authority in his hands has been lost a lot, it still put a lot of pressure on the two of them.

Hearing Daming's question, the eldest son lowered his head slightly and said respectfully: "Yes, sir, the Thousand Hand clan has now expressed his surrender to Shimada and Uchiha clans, while Shimada clan and Uchiha clan are still brewing a final battle. If nothing unexpected happens, the master of the Ninja Realm of the Fire Kingdom will be born among these two clans."

After hearing the old man say this, Daming just said "hmm" and said without comment. Instead, he turned his head to Zong Quan beside him and said, "Zong Quan, what do you think?"

The prince was obviously stunned for a moment when his old father asked this.

You should know that in the era when Daming was still in power, he had never been asked for any opinions while discussing matters.

At that time, his heir was a clay puppet from Daming Mansion, and he was only responsible for being a mascot.

Now Daming suddenly became serious, which reminded him instinctively of the fear of being dominated at the time and subconsciously imposed himself as a mascot, so Daming's question surprised him so much.

However, it was this question that reminded him that he was no longer the same as before.

A few years ago, Daming was old and ignored political affairs. A large number of nobles in the Fire Capital lost sincerity to him, the prince.

"With so many nobles supporting me, even my father cannot squeeze me at will as easily as before." The prince thought to himself.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately raised his waist and said confidently: "Father, I think we should take the initiative to connect with the Thousand Hand Clan and maintain a three-legged situation before the Shimada clan and the Uchiha clan were decided.

Otherwise, once the ninja world is unified, our Daming Mansion will be difficult to guarantee its status.”

When he said this, Zong Quan was full of confidence.

As for the promises he made before and when he invited Hanzo to his mansion, he had already left it behind.

After all, His Highness Zong Quan is not a fool.

After that invitation, the Shimada clan began to play Tai Chi with him, the prince.

No matter how he urged him, the Shimada clan always had all kinds of reasons to be vague, but he just didn't give an accurate reply.

As for his request to meet Nagashimada Hanzo, the Shimada clan's people also refused it for various reasons.

What are you busy practicing, say goodbye; the patriarch visits friends outside, etc.

After several exchanges, So Quan also understood that the Shimada clan was just perfunctory.

This made the prince, who was born with the golden key in his mouth, very annoyed, and he became faintly hostile to the ninja group.

That's why he put forward such an opinion in front of Daming.

However, facing his confident proposal, Daming hummed with disdain: "I thought you had made some progress in the past few years, but I didn't want to be so ineffective."

When Zong Quan heard Daming's direct contempt, he suddenly turned red and opened his mouth to say something.

However, before he could say anything, Daming looked over with a cold look. Zong Quan immediately felt like a basin of cold water was poured down in the dog days, and he became timid.

Looking at Zong Quan who suddenly admitted his conscience, Daming couldn't help but curl his lips.

After all, it was his own son and heir, Daming suppressed his unhappiness and explained to him: "Now the unification of the ninja world in the Fire Kingdom is already the general trend. Unless there are forces comparable to the three tribes intervening, variables may occur. As for us..."

Daming smiled self-deprecatingly: "Our Daming Mansion currently has no means to restrain them except for the title of Dayi. Forcibly intervening, it is just a mantis armed mantis chariot. Not only can it not be stopped, it may also lose its last face."

Looking at Zong Quan, who looked a little dissatisfied, Daming couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he let go of it in the past few years. Although Daming can easily suppress his son, it is impossible to convince him by a few words.

My son is essentially a fool who never strikes against the wall and doesn't look back.

However, when he really saw Nan Jian's power, he would become extremely cowardly as soon as possible.

Sometimes Daming even wonders if this guy is his own species.

But looking at it from another perspective, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

The Ninja Realm of the Kingdom of Fire is about to be unified. When facing the unified Ninja Realm, the only thing Daming Mansion can do is hope that the unified Ninja Alliance can be willing to retain the Dinja Realm and cooperate to stabilize this relationship with the power of righteousness and tradition.

Just like Daming Mansion, the Kingdom of Water.

In this case, having a cowardly Daming is better for Daming Mansion than having a Daming who loves to cause trouble.

After all, no matter how they do it, even if they are playing internal blasting, at most they will cause some trouble for the Ninja Alliance and may even get themselves involved.

On the contrary, if you don’t cause trouble, maybe the family can continue to pass on for a long time.

Thinking of this, Daming was too lazy to say anything to Son-Qiang, but said to the old man directly: "Big Master, go and inform Keiki and ask him to send a few powerful ninjas to wait for the Shimada clan and Uchiha clan to fight to the decisive battle, let them take the prince to watch the battle."

The old man was also an old man, and immediately understood the meaning of Daming. He immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Daming."

After the eldest brother responded, Daming looked at his stupid son who was still confused by his mind. He suddenly felt a little tired, waved his hand and let the two retreat.
