The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

As the sun sets on the horizon, the City of Fire once again fell into darkness.

However, Hanzo, Hashirama and Madara did not leave the Fire Capital at this time, but stayed in the Shimada clan's stronghold in the Fire Capital.

"Is this the restaurant run by your Shimada clan in the City of Fire?"

In the room, Hashirama looked at the various interior decorations and sighed: "I heard the great elder say it several times, but I didn't expect it to be quite good."

After hearing Hashirama's words, Hanzo immediately smiled.

But before he could say anything, Madara spoke: "Hanzo, Hashirama, if there's nothing else, I'll go and rest first."

The three of them had no intention of spending the night in the City of Fire.

However, I heard from someone sent by Daming Prefecture to inform General Qingxi that General Qingxi was still considering it.

Although the three of them didn't think Qingxi had any more choices, they still had to do some face-saving work.

Since they said they should consider it, Hanzo also decided to give him one more night to celebrate. However, as a result, the three of them could only stay in the City of Fire for one more night.

The daimyo originally invited the three of them to rest in the daimyo mansion.

However, Hanzo finally refused.

The guest rooms in the Daming Mansion are luxurious, but it is their territory after all, and there is a sense of surveillance in it. Therefore, the three of them chose to come to the Shimada clan's stronghold.

Of course, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan also have their own strongholds in the Fire Capital.

But when they go out, the three of them must keep the same advance and retreat. In order to show the unity of Konoha, Hashirama and Madara also came together.

"Well, no problem." After hearing Madara's words, Hanzo immediately replied, and at the same time turned to Hashirama next to him and said: "Hashirama, you should also go back and rest."

Seeing this, Hashirama also nodded.

However, before the two of them had time to go out, a member of the Shimada clan suddenly knocked on the door and said: "The clan... Lord Hokage, General Qingxi's people came to send a message saying that they want to talk to us in Konoha."

"Oh?" Hashirama and Madara heard this and left in no hurry.

Just listen to Hashirama ask: "Hanzo, what are you going to do?"

Hanzo touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "In this case, I will go over there so that this matter can be resolved completely."

"inappropriate."

At this moment, Madara, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

Hanzo and Hashirama both looked at Madara in surprise.

Seeing this, Madara just said calmly: "Hanzo, you are the Hokage of Konoha and our leader. Not anyone can negotiate with you alone. The Fire Daimyo can, but... it's just a celebration, not like this.

qualifications."

"But will this make Qingxi feel that we don't take this matter seriously?" Hashirama on the side couldn't help but ask.

Madara shook his head: "Hashirama, you still have this problem, why do you think Qingxi is qualified for us to pay attention to this matter?"

Hearing Madara's words, Hashirama was stunned for a moment.

But Hanzo gradually understood Madara's meaning.

Indeed, Qingxi is not qualified to negotiate with Hanzo alone, regardless of his strength or status, nor is he qualified to be taken seriously by Konoha. In this case, if he really accepts the invitation, he will be looked down upon by others.

.

"You have a point, Madara."

Hanzo, who had thought clearly, took advantage of Hashirama's loss of words and said, "Indeed, Qingxi is not qualified enough for us to take him so seriously... Well, Madara, please go for me."

Hanzo hesitated for a moment, but among Madara and Hashirama, he chose Madara.

Although both of them are Konoha's advisory elders, Hashirama's style in negotiations is too gentle.

Although there are occasional unexpected results, Hanzo doesn't want to take risks.

As for Madara, he has a tough attitude and will not give in easily, and this tough attitude may be more effective against a grumpy old man like Qingxi.

As for the other personnel here at the base, Hanzo didn't even think about it.

After all, Keiki is also a senior official of the Fire Nation. It would be okay if Hanzo, the Hokage, doesn't show up, but it would be a bit outrageous to send a little shrimp over.

After hearing Hanzo's arrangement, Madara immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

After saying that, Madara opened the door and left in a hurry.

"Hanzo, is it really okay?"

Looking at Madara's leaving figure, Hashirama asked worriedly.

Even though he and Madara are rare friends, differences between him and Madara do exist in these aspects.

Hanzo heard the words, but had no reaction. He just nodded and said, "Leave it to Madara. He is also a member of our top management in Konoha. Trust him."

Hanzo's words obviously did not comfort Hashirama, but after a moment, Hashirama still sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Forget it, everyone has already set off anyway, so it doesn't make any sense for him to say this now.

The two of them just sat on their chairs without saying a word, quietly waiting for Madara's return.

…

It has to be said that Madara's negotiation time was much shorter than both of them expected.

Within about half an hour, Hanzo sensed that Madara's chakra appeared within his range of perception again.

Tens of seconds later, with a sound of pushing the door, Madara walked into the room.

"How's it going, Madara?"

Hashirama immediately asked impatiently.

Facing Hashirama's question, Madara looked a little strange.

He did not answer Hashirama immediately, but turned to look at Hanzo: "Hanzo, maybe we will have the first person to apply to join Konoha soon."

"Um?"

Hearing Madara's words, even Hanzo couldn't help but be startled. After a few seconds, he understood the meaning of Madara's words.

"You mean... Qingxi wants to join Konoha?" Hanzo asked in surprise.

Spot nodded and said: "That's it, Qingxi told me that he agreed to his ninja army to join Konoha and become Konoha ninja.

But as a condition, he asked us to allow him and his family to join Konoha and become a member of the Konoha ninja clan."

"..."

Hearing Madara's request, Hanzo suddenly felt dumbfounded.

He never expected that Konoha, which was still a grassroots team, could actually attract Qingxi, a high-ranking official of the Fire Country, to actively join.

You know, according to the intelligence of the Shimada clan, Qingxi himself only has the strength of an elite chuunin. Once he and his family join Konoha, they won't even get a single vote. They are considered low-level people.

"Does he have any other requests?"

After a moment of silence, Hanzo continued to ask.

Madara lowered his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Qingxi also asked him to continue to be the honorary leader of this ninja army. Of course, he also knew that we would definitely break up this ninja army, so he said, even if

Just an empty number will do."

Having said this, Ban paused and then said: "I have already promised him."

Hanzo took a breath after hearing this, and then said: "You did a good job, Madara, and this matter is settled.

Tomorrow, we will report back to the Daimyo, and then leave with these ninja troops."
