The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Time passed, and soon there was only one day left before the decisive battle between Madara and Hanzo.

At the same time, all the forces that planned to watch the battle have also arrived near the decisive battle site.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but when the Uchiha clan notified the Shimada clan of the location of the decisive battle, Hanzo sent people to explore. According to the description of the family intelligence personnel, it was the Valley of the End, or the Valley of the End.

Of course, this name was named in commemoration of the decisive battle between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in the original time and space.

Of course it's not called that name nowadays.

But based on the description of the terrain and landscape there by family intelligence personnel, Hanzo was still able to determine it.

The Valley of the End is located near the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Tian. It is not close to the headquarters of the Shimada clan and the Uchiha clan. It is indeed a good place, and it is also a suitable location for the decisive battle between the two.

"Clan leader."

Suddenly, a patrolling ninja from the family appeared at the training ground and pulled Hanzo out of his wild thoughts.

"What's up?"

Hanzo stood up and asked.

"Chief Senju Hashirama wants to talk to you." The patrolling ninja said respectfully.

"oh?"

Hanzo's eyes narrowed and he said with a smile: "Is that guy Hashirama finally willing to see me?"

The patrolling ninja lowered his head a little when he heard this.

Hanzo said this kind of joke casually, and he didn't dare to answer it casually.

Although it is impossible for an ordinary ninja like him to know everything about the family's grand strategy.

But they had heard about the important event that the three tribes were about to form an alliance.

Therefore, if there are no accidents, Senju Hashirama will definitely be a member of the senior management in the future.

Besides, there is no deep hatred between the Shimada clan and the Senju clan... Well, at least from the perspective of the Shimada clan.

Within the family, there are many people who worship Hashirama because of his strong strength.

The patrolling ninja in front of him seemed to be Hashirama's little fanboy.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Hanzo didn't care. After stretching casually, he said: "Let's go, lead the way."

"Yes, clan leader." The patrolling ninja replied.

Immediately, Hanzo followed the patrolling ninja to the residence prepared by the Shimada clan for the Senju brothers.

After more than a month and nearly two months of training, Hashirama's body has long since returned to its original state.

However, during this period of time, Hashirama seemed to have been deliberately avoiding Hanzo.

Even when Hanzo was still living in the medical department and he took the initiative to visit, Hashirama always acted like silence is golden.

Let alone after being discharged from the hospital.

Obviously, Hashirama is a bit over the top.

Hanzo also understands that feeling.

Being the leader of a clan not only means power, but also heavy responsibility.

This sense of responsibility, in Hashirama's opinion, is as important as his dream.

Just like in the original time and space, Hashirama chose to kill Madara Uchiha in the Valley of the End. In addition to protecting the fruits of his dreams, he also had the responsibility of being Hokage.

Hashirama clearly longs for a world without war, but still leads the Senju clan to fight for hegemony. This factor also plays into it.

But now, the Thousand Hands clan has fallen into the current situation under his leadership. It's no wonder that he is a little bit over the top.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”

Hanzo knocked on the door.

"Squeak."

The door was opened, and the person who opened the door was Hashirama himself.

Seeing Hanzo, he still seemed a little uncomfortable, but soon, Hashirama suppressed his awkwardness and said with a smile: "You're here, Hanzo, come in."

Hanzo waved his hand to stop the escort of patrolling ninjas, and then followed Hashirama in.

"You should get used to living here."

Walking into the house, Hanzo glanced around and asked.

He has never been to this place before.

Some time ago, Hashirama intentionally avoided him, so Hanzo would naturally not come over to scold him, not to mention that the awkward atmosphere made him feel uncomfortable.

"not bad."

After untying the knot in his heart, Hashirama returned to his usual cheerful mood and said with a smile: "Tobirama and I live quite comfortably in this place."

"That's good." Hanzo nodded, and then said: "Come to me today, what can you do?"

Hearing Hanzo mention the business, Hashirama was silent for a moment, and then he said hesitantly: "...I just want to talk to you about the future of the ninja world in the Land of Fire."

As he spoke, he sighed and said slowly: "Hanzo, you understand, although Tobirama and you have already agreed that our three clans will establish an alliance to unify the ninja world of the Land of Fire, but..."

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and said: "The Thousand Hands Clan is the loser after all. I'm afraid that even if the alliance is established, our right to speak will be the smallest.

So... I want to ask, Hanzo, if it were you, how would you plan to integrate the Fire Nation ninja world?"

When Hanzo heard this, he immediately sat up straight and said seriously: "Of course it will be in the form of an alliance."

As soon as he said this, Hashirama's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "How to form an alliance?"

Hanzo glanced at Hashirama and understood his worries.

From the beginning, Hashirama hoped to end the war between the ninja clans by forming an alliance.

Now that the Senju clan has lost the opportunity to dominate the ninja world of the Fire Country, he will naturally worry that the Shimada clan or the Uchiha clan will plan to take tough measures to integrate the many forces of the Fire Country.

Therefore, he took the initiative to find Hanzo in order to convince Hanzo to agree with his point of view.

In this way, if Hanzo defeats Madara tomorrow, then his claim will naturally be guaranteed.

Even if Hanzo is defeated and Madara leads the alliance of the three clans, if Hanzo can unite with Hashirama, Madara will definitely consider the opinions of the two clans carefully.

From Hashirama's perspective, this is obviously the best choice.

After thinking clearly about this, Hanzo organized his language a little, and then said: "If you stand from the perspective of a clan and choose to use strong methods to force many forces in the Fire Country to vassalize, it should be the best situation, but..."

Hanzo glanced at Hashirama, who was a little nervous, and said with a smile: "But in the future, when the Fire Nation ninja world becomes one, we can't just look at problems from the perspective of one clan.

Whether it’s your Senju clan, Madara’s Uchiha clan, or the small and medium-sized ninja clans scattered throughout the Fire Country, these are the power of the Fire Country and our own people.

Therefore, relatively speaking, I am more inclined to form a large alliance, but in order to ensure that internal strife is limited to a certain extent, the power of the alliance must not be shared with everyone..."

"But if those small and medium-sized forces have no influence on the alliance's decision-making, then what is the difference between the so-called alliance and a vassal?" Hashirama asked doubtfully.

Hanzo heard the words and explained: "This problem is actually very simple. They cannot directly affect the decision-making, but they can affect it indirectly."

"Indirect effects?"

"That's right." Hanzo smiled: "Hashirama, what do you think...of the right to vote?"
