The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

This night, it seemed that many things were destined to happen.

At this time, in the Daiming Mansion of the Land of Fire, the Fire Daiming finally reached the last moment of his life.

It seems that because he reached an agreement with the ninja clan, while the daimyo was relieved of all his burdens, his body also declined visibly.

Since that day, when he and Prince Zongquan returned to the City of Fire, the daimyo fell ill that night.

Although the doctors in Daming Mansion have tried their best to save him, today, Daming is still on his deathbed.

"Lord Daimyo..."

In the bedroom of the Daming Mansion, the Daiming was completely thin and out of shape.

Besides one doctor, there were only two other people beside the bed: Elder Longguang and Prince Zongquan.

As for the high-ranking nobles in the Fire City, they all stayed outside the bedrooms.

This is also the tradition of the daimyo. The death of the old daimyo and the enthronement of the new daimyo need to be completed under the watchful eyes of the great nobles.

At this time, Huo Daiming still had some things to say to the elder and the prince alone, so he temporarily invited the nobles out.

When the fire lord finally dies, he still has to invite those great nobles in.

"Mr. Daub, tell me the truth, how is my father's health?"

At this time, Zongquan still seemed unable to accept his father's critical illness.

Even though he had expected it, he still couldn't help but pulled the doctor's arm and asked sternly.

The old doctor couldn't help but feel a trace of hesitation and fear in his eyes when he looked at the harsh and harsh prince.

"Zong Quan...don't worry about Mr. Bo...~"

Old age and a life of indulgence have completely emptied the body of the Fire Daimyo. At this time, he even spoke in a very soft voice.

If Zong Quan hadn't been paying attention to him, it would have been difficult to notice that the daimyo suddenly spoke out.

Looking at his father who was like a candle in the wind, the anger in Zong Quan's eyes dissipated little by little, and in the end only dejection remained.

"You go down too..."

The daimyo spoke softly again.

This sentence was addressed to the old doctor. Upon hearing this, Daobo immediately felt as if he had been granted amnesty. After bowing and saluting, he quickly exited the daimyo's bedroom and left in a hurry.

"Father……"

As Daobo left, Zongquan was forced to accept the reality. He half-knelt down in front of the bed, held the daimyo's hand with one hand, and murmured.

"Zong Quan, the family... will be left to you. Please... remember, never turn against the Ninja clan at any time..."

The daimyo held his breath, said the last words to his son, and then looked at the elder Long Guang.

He no longer had the strength to speak, but from the look in his eyes, Long Guang already understood what the lord he had been loyal to for half his life wanted to say.

"..."

Long Guang stood up without saying a word, walked to the bedroom door, and opened the door.

When the nobles waiting outside the door saw this, they immediately swarmed in.

"Lord Daimyo..."

The moment the nobles entered the bedroom, the master who had ruled the Land of Fire for decades finally finished his life and left the world surrounded by the nobles.

When Long Guang turned around again, all he saw was the old and peaceful face of his master...

…

Regarding the funeral of a daimyo, professional etiquette officials from the Daming Prefecture are responsible for it.

The prince...or the new Daming Zongquan really couldn't bear the false condolences of the nobles, so he pulled the elder out of the bedroom with him.

"Lord Daimyo."

Longguang bowed and saluted Zongquan.

His attitude is very upright, and he has no intention of relying on his old age to show off his strength or asserting his identity.

"Big boss."

Zongquan's face looked uncertain in the dancing candlelight.

"Please send someone overnight to inform the Shimada, Senju and Uchiha clans and invite the three clan leaders to attend my father's funeral."

Zongquan's so-called "notification" naturally did not mean that Daming Mansion would send people to the residence of the three tribes.

Rather, it was to inform the three tribes of their power to stay in the Fire Capital.

The Ninja clan has its own way of communicating, and compared to Damingfu Baba sending people to notify, the communication between the Ninja clan is much more efficient.

The elder has also been in a high position for many years. Although he still couldn't hide the sadness in his heart, facing Zong Quan's instructions, he still took a deep breath and managed to regain his former shrewdness. He bowed and said: "I understand, Lord Daimyo."

The elder then staggered towards the outside of the Daming Mansion.

Zongquan looked at the elder's back, couldn't help but sigh, and then returned to the elder's bedroom with a wry smile.

He still has to deal with that group of difficult nobles...

…

Overnight, the news of the death of the Fire Nation's Daimyo spread rapidly to the surrounding areas with the Fire Capital as the center.

The three major ninja clans of the Fire Country were the first to receive the news.

However, at this time, except for Hashirama who was indeed staying in the clan, Hanzo and Madara were not in the clan.

Coincidentally, both clans began to send messages to their clan leaders.

"What? The Fire Daimyo is dead?"

A hotel in Sichuan Capital.

Hanzo, who had just woken up from his sleep, received news from his family.

The person who came to summon us was a trained Ninja Eagle.

Although the ninja eagle has a certain degree of wisdom, it is impossible to answer Hanzo's question. He can only blink his eagle eyes.

Fortunately, Hanzo didn't expect it to say anything, he was just a little shocked.

"The Fire Daimyo passed away?"

Next to her, Terumi Kaoru couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard Hanzo's words.

"Yes."

Hanzo handed the letter in his hand to Terumi Kaoru and said: "The great elder told me that people from the Daming Mansion invited me to attend the Daiming's funeral... just two days later."

As he said that, he looked at Xun beside him a little apologetically, and said: "Sorry, Xun, it seems that our vacation is going to end early, and I have to go back to the family to handle some matters."

Terumi Kaoru didn't pay much attention, but smiled and comforted Hanzo: "It's okay. It's good that we can come out for a few days this time. The family still needs you."

"Um."

Hanzo immediately held his wife's hand tightly.

After the two went to the innkeeper to settle the bill, they hurriedly prepared to return to the family.

…

"Quack, quack, quack..."

At the same time, in a small town in the southern part of the Land of Fire, Madara, who was sitting in a teahouse and resting, had just received a message from the ninja crow of his family.

After reading the message, Madara burned the note and couldn't help but frown.

To be honest, he didn't want to return to the family at this time.

Sighed.

The situation is not up to anyone. Since the Daming Mansion invited him, it must also invite Hanzo and Hashirama. It would be inappropriate for him not to go.

"That's all..."

According to his experience these days, the older the shrine, the more likely it is that there will be some useful things left behind.

Madara recalled the remaining shrines, and none of them were too old. It didn't matter if he wanted to come or not.

After thinking about this clearly, Madara no longer hesitated, drank all the tea in front of him, and strode out of the teahouse...
