The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Time passed day by day, and on the sixth day, the Shimada clan finally took care of many affairs in the clan and began the official move.

Different from the usual rush march, this relocation requires a large number of ordinary tribesmen in the family to accompany them. In addition, the tribesmen also carry various large and small belongings, so the speed is naturally not fast.

Therefore, even though Konoha's station was not too far from the family, it was already mid-afternoon when Hanzo led his family to Konoha.

From a distance, the large and mighty team led by Hanzo, coupled with many carriages pulling things, looked quite spectacular.

Of course, if the Shimada clan alone did not have that many people, in addition to the Shimada clan, they were also accompanied by the Hyuga clan, a group of vassal ninja clans of the Shimada clan, and the surrendered ninja army led by Qingxi.

All these people together are no less than the Shimada clan, so the whole team looks quite bloated.

However, with so many people, it is convenient for the station.

From a distance, the fifth elder saw this huge group of people.

Therefore, when Hanzo led everyone to Konoha, the fifth elder and several ninjas were already standing here to greet him.

"Clan...Hokage-sama."

The fifth elder, who was used to calling the clan leader, couldn't change his words for a while, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and still called him the correct name.

"How's it going? Are Hashirama and Madara here?" Hanzo didn't care about the fifth elder's minor slip of the tongue, but asked about the situation of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan.

"not yet."

The fifth elder shook his head and said: "People from the two clans have already come to spread the news. Both the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan will arrive here tomorrow."

Hanzo nodded when he heard this, and stopped asking any more questions. Instead, he began to look at the Konoha station in front of him, which had been initially taken care of under the command of the fifth elder.

At this time, a large open space had been cut out of the valley that was originally a forest.

Rows of tents were neatly pitched in the open space, with more than a dozen relatively simple wooden houses interspersed among them.

Seeing Hanzo looking around constantly, the fifth elder on the side immediately explained: "Hokage-sama, because we have to solve the accommodation problem of the villagers first, I arranged for them to set up enough tents first. At least there is a tent first.

residence.

In addition, because there are some old and weak people from all ethnic groups, these houses are prepared for these old and weak people, you see..."

As he said that, the fifth elder looked at Hanzo with some anxiety.

In the past, the chief elder was mainly responsible for the relocation of the Shimada clan.

But this time, Hanzo did not send the great elder, but instead sent the fifth elder who had little experience.

This is mainly because although the Great Elder is rich in experience, firstly, the Shimada clan cannot do without the Great Elder, and secondly, the Great Elder does not hold any position in Konoha.

The fifth elder holds the position of the elder in charge of the commerce and trade department.

The Ministry of Commerce and Trade is responsible for all aspects of Konoha's commerce, and work such as architectural planning is naturally included. Therefore, it is justifiable for the fifth elder to be responsible, and other ninjas will not have any opinions.

So Hanzo thought carefully before choosing to send the fifth elders as the advance team.

However, as a result, the fifth elder, who had little experience in this area, was naturally a little uneasy, fearing that he would mess up the matter.

"No, you did a good job."

Looking at the somewhat uneasy fifth elder, Hanzo grinned and said, "It's enough for you to do these things well. There will be dedicated personnel responsible for other professional work.

Uncle Yi Teng has already sent people to the Fire City to invite the best planners and architects. Then they will handle these matters together with the people in charge of construction work from all ethnic groups in the village. We just need to keep things in check.

"

"That's good, I was worried that I messed up." The fifth elder breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Hanzo had no time to care about him at this time. There was still a group of people waiting for him to make arrangements.

Immediately, Hanzo summoned the elders of the Shimada clan and Ishii Yoshiki in front of him and said: "Everyone, there is still some time before dark, so let's set up enough tents for the ordinary clan members first. As for the ninjas, just

Let’s make do with it for one night.”

"Yes, clan leader." The elders of the Shimada clan responded.

"No problem, Hokage-sama." Qingxi nodded in the same way.

But here in Qingxi, there are actually no ordinary people.

When the Fire Nation's General Mansion trains the ninja army, in order to ensure the loyalty of the military members, it always looks for orphans in the Fire Nation to train them into ninjas.

These orphans have been cared for and trained by the General's Mansion since childhood, and will naturally be loyal to the General's Mansion.

Because of this, as orphans, most of these ninjas naturally have no relatives.

In other words, only Ninja Army members who were old enough and had a certain status could get married and start a family.

Therefore, compared to the Shimada clan, the work of Qingxi and others is obviously much more convenient.

Of course, in addition to the Shimada clan and the ninja army, there are also the Hyuga clan and some ninja clans originally affiliated with the Shimada clan.

Now that everyone is a member of Konoha, it doesn't matter whether they are vassals or not. Although Hanzo is the Hokage, he will not reach into other people's families at will.

But these ninjas are not stupid either.

Although they are free now, this does not change the fact that they are just small ninjas.

The Shimada clan can be said to be the thickest thighs in Konoha today.

They were previously vassals of the Shimada clan, so naturally they had some connections within the clan.

With these connections, their relationship with the Shimada clan is naturally closer.

Such a thigh is placed in front of you. If you don't hold it now, when will you wait?

Therefore, even if Hanzo made no arrangements, these ninjas naturally built their respective tents and wooden houses near the Shimada clan.

…

When the sun went down, the open space in the valley expanded a lot.

The new open space was also filled with tents.

But compared to the original rows of clearly differentiated tents of the ninja clan, this new tent has the Shimada clan as the center, surrounded by various ninja clans in circles, and it feels like stars looming over the moon.

.

Hanzo didn't expect this at first.

By the time he noticed it, this pattern had already been formed.

This made him quite helpless.

He could even predict that when the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan arrived, the smaller ninja clans originally affiliated with these two ninja clans would inevitably follow suit.

"This won't work... If the ninja clan in the village is still divided into three factions with our three clans as the center, I'm afraid it will be a hidden danger..."

Sitting cross-legged in a tent, Hanzo thought silently.

"...We still have to find a way to truly bond these ninja clans into a ninja village."

He rubbed his temples with a headache, and Hanzo also understood that establishing Konoha was just the beginning, and there were still many things that needed to be done.
