The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

"Grandpa Xiuchang, I'm here."

Hanzo held Shimada Hidenaga's hand.

During the three years of training, Hidenaga often came to give him and Motohisa advice, including Hidenaga's grandson Shimada Yi, who was slightly older than Genji.

These are the people Hanzo is most familiar with in the Shimada clan.

But I didn’t expect that today I would have to send off Shimada Hidenaga, who was already nursing his old age.

Hanzo remembered that Hideucha's son lost his life in the war very early.

The daughter-in-law was also physically weak due to giving birth to Shimada Yi, and passed away when Shimada Yi was one year old.

This large family has sacrificed almost everything for the family.

"Hanzo, I don't know what kind of ability you just used." Xiuchang said weakly, "Behind the unreasonable ability, there must be an unimaginable price. Before you can truly control that ability, don't use it lightly.

." Xiuchang ordered.

"I understand, Grandpa Hidecho." Hanzo nodded heavily and agreed with some sadness.

Yes, forcefully inhaling natural energy comes at a cost.

Hanzo's left hand behind his back was rubbing it slowly, and a lot of stone chips fell down.

Speaking of which, Uchiha Tajima saved Hanzo's life. If he hadn't knocked Hanzo unconscious in time, it wouldn't have been a matter of stone chips.

The entire arm may not be saved.

But even if it happened again, Hanzo would still do it.

After all, only if your life is saved can you have a future.

"And..." Xiuchang said slowly, "I ask you to take more care of Ayi's child."

As he spoke, there was a hint of softness in his eyes.

He knew that no matter what, the Shimada clan won today's battle, and his grandson could continue to grow up under the protection of his family.

Therefore, even if he is about to die, he does not have many regrets.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Hideucha." Hanzo was also choked with sobs.

Most of the elders present were also extremely sad.

Although everyone has been in battle for a long time and is used to life and death.

But almost all of them grew up under Shimada Hidenaga. Almost everyone had been taken care of by Hidenaga. Now they are all sad to see this old man leave.

"Hahaha, you don't have to be sad. I have been working hard for my family all my life, and now I just want to have a good rest." Xiuchang said with a smile.

Xiuchang suddenly became full of energy.

Come back to the light!

This word appeared in the minds of everyone present.

"Uncle Hidecho!" Shimada Shigegen finally arrived here.

"Clan leader..." Shimada Hidenaga said with a cheerful face, "Clan leader, from now on the family will be entrusted to you, and I can feel free to see Brother Sadahisa..."

"Uncle Xiuchang, you..."

Zhongnian quickly held Shimada Hidenaga's hand, as if he wanted to say something.

However, Shimada Hideucha's complexion has declined at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his hands are hanging down feebly...

…

The battle between Shimada and Uchiha soon spread throughout the entire Fire Nation ninja world, and was even spreading rapidly to the other four major nations and many small nations.

The country of wind, an oasis.

At this time, the Thousand Hands clan led by Thousand Hands Buddhajian were repairing here.

After seeing the news from the family, Thousand-Armed Buddha was silent for a long time.

"Clan leader, both the Shimada clan and the Uchiha clan will suffer losses, which is also a good thing for us." An elder of the Senju clan said to the Senju Buddha.

"No, it's not as simple as you think."

Senjubutama shook his head and said slowly: "Here's the key point: the chief elder and four elders of the Uchiha clan were killed in battle, and the rest of the clan evacuated in a hurry.

If I remember correctly, the great elder of the Uchiha clan has already stepped into the level beyond jounin."

Senjubuma's face was solemn: "The jounin of the Uchiha clan is strong. Although the Shimada clan has more jounin, it is just a balance of power. However, the jounin of the Uchiha clan suffered heavy casualties. This shows that...

That guy Shimada Shigegen is stronger than he was three years ago."

As soon as Thousand-Armed Buddha said these words, the Thousand-Armed Elders present also realized the key.

The Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan have had frequent confrontations, and they know very well that the overall high-end combat power of the two clans is not much different.

The senior leaders of the Shimada clan can defeat the senior leaders of the Uchiha clan, so they can naturally defeat them.

"Then... Patriarch, why don't we contact Uchiha secretly?" an elder asked tentatively.

"Confused!" Senjubutama glared at him, "Remember, we and the Shimada clan are allies. The stronger the Shimada clan is, the happier we will be."

The elder smiled coquettishly and said no more.

"As long as Hashirama and the others grow up..." Thousand-Armed Buddha Jian said silently.

Since his eldest son and second son both showed amazing talents, Fo Jian didn't care much about the current situation.

Today's news made him even more certain that it would be difficult for him to compete with Shimada Shigenen.

But he believed that his sons' talents would not be inferior to those of his two older sons.

This is also the reason why the Thousand-Armed Buddha can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

…

On the other side, the thoughts of the Yuyi clan, which had been silent for a long time, became alive.

"Clan leader, the Uchiha clan has suffered heavy losses now. This is our opportunity." An elder of the Hagoromo clan said excitedly.

Yu Yilan, who was sitting at the top, was a little hesitant.

She didn't know if going to war against the Uchiha clan at this time was the right choice.

The Hagoromo clan has been recuperating and recuperating over the years, and their strength has basically recovered.

The Uchiha clan has suffered heavy losses now, and there are no more than five people with strength above jounin.

And everyone should be injured. Ordinary ninjas may also have low morale. This is indeed the best opportunity for the Hagoromo clan.

But as the saying goes, a hundred-footed insect never dies. If the Hagoromo clan succeeds, defeats the Uchiha clan, and seizes a large amount of their treasures, ninjutsu, and vassal tribes, then the Hagoromo clan will complete the snake swallowing elephant and become the Warring States Period.

The real top ninja clan of the era.

But if it fails, or both sides suffer, the Hagoromo clan will inevitably be attacked or even annexed.

Seeing that Yu Yilan was still hesitating, the elder who had spoken just now took advantage of the victory and pursued his attack: "Chief, the Uchiha clan was dissatisfied because we rejected their proposal to join forces before, and even threatened our clan.

Moreover, the clan leader also knew about the alliance conditions they proposed, and they clearly wanted to turn us into vassals. This clearly shows the Uchiha's ambition towards us.

Clan leader, even if we want to settle the matter, will Uchiha Tajima be willing?"

This sentence touched Yu Yilan's heart.

In the past few years, the Yuyi clan has also been having a hard time.

They also offended the Daimyo when they intercepted and killed the Senju clan before.

Afterwards, although Hagoromo Ran tried his best to repair the relationship with the daimyo, the daimyo had a close relationship with the Senju and Shimada at that time and did not need the power of the Hagoromo clan, so he was also quite indifferent to the Hagoromo clan.

Seeing that it was difficult to win over the daimyo, Yu Yilan once again hoped to cooperate in depth with General Qingxi.

But Naihe seemed to have reached an agreement with the daimyo. The daimyo relaxed the financial restrictions on the shogunate. While the shogun expressed his surrender to the daimyo, he also allowed the daimyo to send his own people to the ninja army.

In fact, the daimyo had no choice. The power of the ninja clan was growing day by day. He could only choose to strengthen the general's palace to provide internal and external checks and balances to maintain his status as a financial sponsor, instead of becoming a fat sheep.

As soon as the daimyo and the shogun began to cooperate, the Hagoromo clan naturally suffered a tragedy. Their two or five young men jumped around, making both sides dislike them.

How can it be so fun to play both sides? The greater possibility is that both parties are offended at the same time.

Now the Hagoromo clan is facing a financial crisis internally, there is hostility from the ninja clan outside, and there is also the potential threat of the Uchiha in the dark. If we don't take this gamble, I'm afraid it will really fall.

The family is in decline!

This is what Yu Yilan cannot accept the most. Decline means weakness, and weakness means people are being slaughtered. Compared with this, hatred and humiliation are irrelevant.

Thinking of this, Yu Yilan quickly made a decision.
