The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Walking to the gate of the Daming Mansion, a Uzumaki ninja bowed towards the two of them and said: "Sir Hashirama, Lord Tobirama, Lord Daimyo, please come."

After saying that, he reached out and opened the door of the small building for the two of them.

The two immediately walked in and saw Uzumaki Ashina, the daimyo of the country of Uzumaki and leader of Uzushio Village, and several Uzushio Village elders, including Junichi Uzumaki, kneeling in the room.

When they saw Hashirama and Tobirama, few of them said anything, but just looked at them quietly.

Hashirama was a little confused when he saw this, but Tobirama on the side had already bowed and said: "Lord Daimyo, the head of the Junichi clan, and several elders, long time no see."

After hearing Tobirama's words, several people narrowed their eyes slightly.

A few people didn't speak, just wanting to test Konoha's attitude.

Hashirama and Tobirama have a close relationship with the Uzumaki clan. If they address them on a personal basis, it means that Konoha is still very friendly to Uzushio Village.

But Tobirama treats them in a manner commensurate with their duties, so this at least shows that Konoha has no special attitude towards Uzushio Village, everything is just business.

This made several senior officials in Uzumaki Village feel somewhat bitter.

It's not easy to live between the three major ninja villages, not to mention that the Uzumaki clan possesses two coveted treasures: sealing and barrier techniques.

Once Kirigakure and Kumogakure find out about Konoha's attitude towards Uzushio Village, their lives will probably be difficult.

"..."

As the leader, Uzumaki Ashina did not have as obvious changes in expression as other senior officials, but his eyes also darkened slightly.

"There is no other way. This time... I have to pay some price and take the opportunity to gain the protection of Konoha." Uzumaki Ashina thought secretly.

As for what the price is, Uzumaki Ashina also knows it well.

There are only so many things about Uzushio Village worth Konoha's concern.

On the other side, Tobirama, who is well versed in negotiation skills, also noticed the changes in the expressions of the senior officials of Uzushio Village.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and Tobirama suddenly felt confident, and he also had some guesses about the thoughts of the people in Uzushio Village.

The Senju Clan will not leave the Uzumaki Clan alone. This is the idea of ​​the Senju Clan. Uzushio Village does not know that he can get more benefits by just cheating like this. It is a waste of money.

Next to him, Hashirama saw that his younger brother had already begun negotiations with Uzumaki Ashina and others, so he simply kept silent.

This is also the tacit understanding between the two brothers for many years. Every time they negotiate, unless Tobirama's opinion is very different from Hashirama's, it will basically follow this pattern.

"It is an honor for us, Uzumaki Village, that the two elders are on mission to Uzushio Village this time." At this time, Uzumaki Ashina spoke: "What do you want, Master Shirano Hokage?"

Hearing this, Tobirama smiled lightly at me: "Master Ashina, since you are so straightforward, I will tell you straight away, the Uzumaki clan was once a member of the ninja clan of the Land of Fire. Speaking of which, if there were not those misunderstandings, we would be like this now.

They should be a family now.

But now that the Uzumaki clan has established Uzushio Village, even if Hokage-sama intends to cooperate with Uzushio Village, he must always take into account the attitude of the villagers. Without a name or status, Konoha can't do anything..."

"Sir Tobirama, in that case, wouldn't it be enough for our Uzumaki Village to form an alliance with Konoha?" an Uzumaki elder said immediately.

When Tobirama heard this, a trace of disbelief suddenly flashed across his face.

"There is such a stupid guy among the top officials of the Whirlpool Country." Tobirama complained in his heart.

But on the face, he still maintained a gentle smile and said: "The elder was joking. To form an alliance with Konoha, one must either have corresponding strength or be able to make sufficient contributions to Konoha. With all due respect, Uzumaki Village

I don’t want to give anything, even if Hokage-sama intends to form an alliance with you, it’s not easy to explain internally.”

Tobirama's tone was still very calm, but the underlying meaning behind his words was just outright mocking Uzushio Village's strength.

"you……"

The elder who had just spoken suddenly blushed and pointed at Tobirama with his right hand, as if he wanted to say something.

At the same time, Tobirama slowly looked at him, and while turning his head, an astonishing burst of chakra burst out from Tobirama's body.

The blue chakra is so rich that it can be seen clearly with the naked eye.

The kneeling elder was stunned for a moment, and then cold sweat flowed down his forehead like water.

"Elder Tobirama!"

At this time, a slightly dissatisfied voice came from the front.

It was Uzumaki Ashina.

Along with these words, there were also chakra fluctuations in Uzumaki Ashina's body.

As descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, the Uzumaki clan also has the gene of a sage body in their bodies.

With Uzumaki Ashina's strength, the momentum he unleashed was no less powerful than Senju Tobirama.

Tobirama immediately looked away from the elder and looked at Uzumaki Ashina, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Judging from chakra alone, Ashina Uzumaki's strength is no less powerful than Tobirama.

And if the two of them actually fight, Tobirama will certainly have many water escape and secret techniques at his disposal, but Uzumaki Ashina has studied the sealing technique for a lifetime, and I am afraid it will also have many benefits.

If they really fight, they may not be weaker than Tobirama.

Hashirama and Tobirama's mission this time was mainly for peaceful transactions. They just wanted to test Uzumaki Ashina's strength a little, and there was no need to make it so tense.

As soon as he thought about this, Tobirama slowly calmed down the chakra in his body and gradually calmed down.

When Uzumaki Ashina saw this, he just let it go and didn't mention what happened just now.

After all, although he was on par with Tobirama, Tobirama didn't come alone.

With Hashirama standing by as the Dinghai Divine Needle, the Uzumaki clan is just a younger brother after all.

The other elders of the Uzumaki clan had different expressions, but no one said anything.

Uzumaki Ashina's ability to do this is already the limit of the Uzumaki clan.

"Everyone, you can go down and rest first. I will talk to the two elders alone." Ashina Uzumaki said to the other elders as he also took back the chakra on his body.

"Um."

"Understood……"

The elders, including Uzumaki Junichi, all nodded, and then left Daming Mansion.

After everyone left, Uzumaki Ashina continued to speak: "You two, let's talk frankly about what Konoha wants this time."

Hearing this, Tobirama immediately smiled and said: "Daimyo-sama is really happy, so I will open the skylight and speak frankly. Konoha is interested in tailed beasts. We need Uzushio Village to provide sealing techniques that can stably seal tailed beasts. The stronger it is."

The better.”

"Tailed beast?"

Uzumaki Ashina was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that what Konoha wanted was actually this.

But this request is really nothing to Uzushio Village.

It is true that the Uzumaki clan has the sealing technique that can seal tailed beasts, but they do not have the strength to capture tailed beasts.

In this case, what if you use these sealing techniques to sell them to Konoha? Anyway, it is not the interests of Uzushio Village that are harmed.

Thinking of this, Uzumaki Ashina suddenly had a smile on his face.
