The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

As the rising sun rises in the east, the sun shines on the earth like every ordinary day.

However, for many people in the Fire Nation, this day is extremely unusual.

Early that morning, most of the Shimada clan became busy.

The guiding team composed of patrolling ninjas has been dispersed around the family. As long as they meet ninja representatives who come to participate in the alliance conference, they will guide them to the temporary camp set up outside the family's residence.

Of course, the people patrolling ninjas are responsible for picking up are basically little-known ninjas.

The ninja clan who were somewhat famous and powerful had communicated with the Shimada clan in advance and informed them of their arrival time.

The Shimada clan and other well-known ninja clans such as Inarakacho and Aburatsuzuka also arranged elders to greet them.

As for Hanzo himself...

"Madara, Izuna, you've finally arrived, I'll be waiting for you."

Not far from the Shimada Clan's residence, Hanzo was personally greeting Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna who had come to attend the alliance meeting.

Next to Hanzo was Senju Hashirama, who arrived earlier than the two of them.

Of course, Hashirama did not come alone, but Tobirama, who came with him, was obviously not interested in welcoming Uchiha Madara.

Naturally, Hanzo would not force him, so only Hashirama and Hanzo came out together.

In any case, the fact that the ninja world of the Fire Country has reached this point can be considered the result of the joint efforts of the three major families.

Therefore, seeing Hanzo and Hashirama, Madara had a smile on his face, nodded to them, and said, "How many of those ninjas are there?"

"Excluding our three clans, there are a total of fifty-three ninja clans. When we came out, there were already thirty-seven, and the rest should be around soon."

Hanzo replied with a slight smile.

"Okay, let's stop talking here and go to the camp first."

At this time, Hashirama interrupted.

"makes sense."

Hanzo nodded, then turned to Madara and said, "Let's go, let's go there first."

"Um."

Immediately, Hanzo, Madara, Hashirama and Izuna walked towards the alliance camp where the Shimada clan was temporarily fighting.

It is said to be a camp, but it is actually a large conference hall, easily enough to accommodate more than fifty or sixty people for a meeting.

This is the most important and formal ceremony ever held by the Shimada clan.

Therefore, although Guan Yiteng complains with his mouth, he is very honest with his body.

These days, he has been coming in person to supervise the construction of the hall, just to be afraid of any accidents.

However, Yi Teng's worries are obviously unnecessary.

Such a major event is not only taken seriously by the high-level family members, but also by ordinary ninjas and even ordinary clan members who are not ninjas. They also feel honored.

Therefore, how could the clansmen responsible for building the hall not pay attention? Not only was no one lazy, but everyone was enthusiastic.

Hanzo also heard that the tribesmen who participated in the construction even regarded the job as an honor in private after returning home and bragging to their relatives and friends.

After leading Madara, Hashirama and others to look around the hall, the Great Elder suddenly walked towards Hanzo.

"Clan chief, representatives from all clans are here. There are sixty-two representatives in total."

"Sixty-two?" Hashirama was stunned.

Seeing this, the great elder immediately explained: "Some ninja clans have more than one representative. There are indeed fifty-three ninja clans."

Hashirama suddenly understood.

When Hanzo saw this, he didn't hesitate anymore and simply said: "Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

"yes."

The great elder bowed slightly to Hanzo and then went to make arrangements.

Hanzo also turned to the two pairs of brothers beside him and said: "Hashirama, Tobirama, Madara and Izuna, you should take your seats first, someone will take you to your team's seat."

"Okay, let's go first."

Hashirama immediately laughed.

Madara also nodded.

"Well, go ahead." Hanzo said to the four of them.

Following the arrangements made by the elders, representatives of all ethnic groups also took their seats one after another.

Of course, depending on the strength of each ninja clan, the positions of representatives of each clan are also different.

Today's ninja alliance is indeed based on strength, and Hanzo has no intention of covering up the truth.

The seats in the entire hall are in a stepped shape.

The top seat naturally belongs to Hanzo, and to Hanzo's left and right are Madara and Hashirama's seats respectively.

Further down, the Sarutobi clan, Ino Shikacho, and Hinata's level ninja clan were sitting on a staircase.

Further down, they are arranged in order of strength, with ninjas of similar strength sitting on the same ladder.

Arranged in this way, we can also see the strength pyramid of the entire Fire Nation ninja world.

The stronger the ninja clan, the rarer they are. Instead, there are nearly thirty ninja clan representatives sitting densely on the last two floors.

Of course, each ninja clan only has one seat. If more than one person from this ninja clan participates in the alliance, then the others can only stand behind the seat of their own family.

Even powerful ninjas like Uchiha Izuna and Senju Tobirama can only stand behind their elder brother.

Including Genji, who also attended the alliance meeting, he stood obediently behind Hanzo's seat.

Neither the strong clan nor the small ninja clan had any objections to this arrangement.

Ninjas are respected for their strength, and it is natural for strong ninjas to be respected.

Isn't it because the three tribes of the Fire Country can organize such an alliance and privately divide the alliance's top positions among themselves depends on their respective strengths?

After the representatives of all races had taken their seats, Hanzo also walked step by step to his own seat.

Turning around and sitting down, Hanzo had a panoramic view of the entire hall.

"Everyone."

Hanzo Langxue Road.

As he spoke, the hall where there were some whispers suddenly fell silent.

Dozens of eyes looked at Hanzo sitting at the top at the same time.

Facing the attention of everyone, Hanzo looked calm and continued: "Today, I, Shimada Hanzo, represent the three clan alliances and convened the Alliance Conference of the Ninja Clan of the Country of Fire. I want to unite the ninja forces of the Country of Fire and build our own.

The ninja organization belongs to our ninja village."

Each of these ninja clans had communicated with one of the three major ninja clans before, and they all had a basic concept of the concept of "ninja village", even those with weak strength and relatively limited information.

Therefore, Hanzo's words did not cause any fuss, and everyone listened quietly to what Hanzo had to say.

"Everyone must know that just over half a year ago, the ninja clan of the Kingdom of Water established their own ninja village - Kirigakure.

The newly established Kirigakure Village has been supported and employed by the Kingdom of Water, has no internal consumption, and is backed by the power of the entire country. Ten or twenty years from now, Kirigakure will have far greater strength than it does now."

As he spoke, Hanzo's eyes swept across everyone sitting below.

"So, the establishment of the Ninja Village is not for my own selfish desires, Shimada Hanzo, nor is it the conspiracy of our alliance of three clans... This is the only choice for our Ninja community in the Land of Fire."
