The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

"Hey...why do I want so much..."

After thinking for a moment, the daimyo suddenly couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Could it be that now, many ninja clans in the Fire Country are under the control of the Daming Mansion?

Except for some little-known ninja clans, how could any ninja family with some strength be under the control of the Daming Mansion?

Instead of thinking about these things that don't exist, it's better to look forward to other benefits.

After thinking about this clearly, a perfect fake smile suddenly appeared on the daimyo's face: "No problem, Chief Hanzo, on behalf of the daimyo mansion, I agree to this condition."

With that said, he held down Prince Zongquan without any trace, who couldn't help but want to refute something.

Hanzo seemed to have noticed Zong Quan's little movements, and immediately looked at him with smiling eyes.

Zong Quan saw Hanzo's eyes and immediately couldn't help but recall the battle in the Valley of the End a few days ago.

Hanzo's ghost-like strength made his heart tremble, and he swallowed the words that reached his throat.

Seeing this, Hanzo no longer threatened the Crown Prince, but stretched out two fingers and said: "This second condition is about the economic cooperation between Ninja Village and Daming Mansion... Great Elder."

"Yes, patriarch."

Hanzo never paid much attention to such specific trivial matters, but the elders had discussed this matter several times before.

The great elder immediately took out several documents, handed one to the daimyo and the prince, and handed the other to the Senju Hashirama brother next to him.

"These are some specific projects. Chief Hashirama and Mr. Tobirama can also take a look." The elder then added.

After all, this was the result of the previous internal deliberations of the Shimada clan. Since it was now being negotiated on behalf of the Ninja Alliance, it was natural for Hashirama and Tobirama to take a look at it.

Hashirama took the document and handed it directly to Tobirama with his backhand. Tobirama looked at his elder brother helplessly and had no choice but to accept his fate.

But the daimyo and the prince looked at every request seriously.

The three members of the Shimada clan were not in a hurry, they just sat quietly and waited for them to finish reading.

After a while, Tobirama put down the document first and shook his head at Hashirama, indicating that he had nothing to add.

Naturally, Hashirama completely trusted Tobirama's judgment, so he placed the documents on the table in front of him and waited for the daimyo and the prince's decision.

In fact, the conditions given by the Shimada clan are not excessive.

Although Hanzo did not intervene, the conditions proposed by the elders were considered very reasonable after referring to the agreement between the Water Daimyo and Kirigakure, as well as the specific situation of the Daimyo Mansion in the Land of Fire.

First of all, the commissions of all official agencies of the Daming Palace and the Land of Fire are handed over to the Ninja Alliance.

Traders who come to the Country of Fire, as well as the local people of the Country of Fire, as long as they are in the Country of Fire and want to release any tasks, they need to come to Ninja Village to do so.

Second, once there is a conflict between the Fire Country and other major powers, the Ninja Village will unconditionally defend the interests of the Fire Country until it is no longer able to fight. Of course, the corresponding Daming Prefecture also needs to fully support the Ninja Village during the war.

Third, in normal times, Daming Prefecture and Ninja Village provide a certain degree of financial subsidies to Ninja Village based on their respective specific financial situations.

In addition to these three articles, there are many detailed small regulations, to name a few.

Although the requirements seem to be many, in summary, they are nothing more than task monopoly, support for the war, and financial subsidies.

In the view of the elders of the Shimada clan, these are just some basic obligations that the Daming Palace needs to fulfill when the two parties cooperate, and they are definitely not demanding.

If the Daming Palace cannot even accept these conditions, it means that the Daiming side has no sincerity in cooperation, and may even have the idea to completely turn Ninja Village into a subordinate organization of the Daming Palace.

If this is the case, then the Shimada clan will also have to consider taking some measures against the Daming Mansion.

After reading these conditions, Tobirama obviously agreed with the elders of the Shimada clan.

Now, it depends on how sincere Daming Mansion is.

But then again, the daimyo and the prince came to the Shimada clan this time to truly sincerely seek cooperation.

Therefore, the two people exchanged eyes for a long time, and finally the daimyo spoke: "Chief Hanzang, in principle, the daimyo mansion can agree to these conditions, but..."

The daimyo hesitated for a moment, then asked: "I want to know, in the third article, how much financial support does the daimyo government need to provide to the Ninja Village?"

The Daming Mansion controls many taxes throughout the Fire Nation, so its pockets are naturally quite deep.

But the money did not come from the strong wind. The daimyo was also worried that Hanzo would play some word games with him and he would really suffer a loss. Their daimyo mansion did not have the capital to overturn the table.

When Hanzo heard this, he immediately turned to look at the great elder beside him.

Seeing this, the great elder coughed and said, "Lord Daimyo, it's like this. After the Ninja Village is established in the future, there will naturally be a revenue and expenditure problem in the finances.

At that time, based on the specific situation, we can set a minimum subsidy standard. When the village has a fiscal deficit, Daming Mansion needs to increase subsidies on this basis. When there is a fiscal surplus, it can follow the minimum subsidy standard... Of course,

This refers to peacetime, if a war breaks out between us and other countries, it will need to be settled separately."

Upon hearing this, the daimyo looked at each other and his son, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

If we follow what the Great Elder said, these conditions are indeed above the bottom line in the hearts of father and son.

Although this cooperation agreement is actually Daming Mansion spending money to hire a nearly independent military organization.

But nominally, this military organization recognized the leadership of Daming Mansion.

As long as the conflict between the two parties does not intensify, then the status of the Daming Palace will be guaranteed, and the inheritance of the Daming family will also be guaranteed.

Moreover, the Ninja Village also ensured the territorial security of the Country of Fire.

You know, before the rise of ninjas, countries also had armies composed of ordinary people.

The Fire Nation's ability to occupy such a huge and fertile territory is not a piece of pie in the sky.

However, after the rise of ninjas, the armies of various countries became vulnerable to ninjas, and they were naturally eliminated by history.

And because most of the ninja clan are not under the jurisdiction of the daimyo of each country, during the time when the ninja clan is at war, there is no war between the various countries.

But in the future, the ninja world of various countries will be unified, and it is hard to say whether a war will break out in the future.

Although the powerful strength of the ninja clan of the Fire Country threatens the Daming Mansion to a certain extent, it is also a strong shield for the Fire Country.

As soon as he thought about this, the Dai Ming immediately made a decision in his mind: "If this is the case, our Daming Mansion can also agree to these conditions."

The daimyo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Hanzo immediately stood up, walked up to the Daimyo with a smile, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Congratulations to the Daimyo then."

The daimyo immediately held Hanzo's hand and said, "Same joy."
