The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

In fact, it is a very rude behavior for Hanzo and the others to arrive at the door of the negotiation venue and the other party has not come out to greet them.

But now that they are under the eaves, Hanzo and the other two people are not having trouble getting angry. Only the tenth elder looks vaguely annoyed.

Opening the door, there was a rectangular conference table inside. A total of eleven Hyuga ninjas were sitting on the long table. They were the ten elders of the Hyuga clan and the current clan leader Hyuga Kaghiko.

"Who are you? Who allowed you to break into this conference room?"

Hyuga Kaghiko, who was at the head, hadn't spoken yet. Next to him, a middle ninja who looked to be in his forties shouted angrily with a gloomy expression.

Looking at where he was sitting, Hanzo could tell that this was probably the great elder of the Hyuga clan.

After being shouted at by the elder of the Hyuga clan, Hanzo and the other two people almost looked down at the same time.

Even the elder of the Hyuga clan is not qualified to yell at the dignified young clan leader of the Shimada clan. His behavior is no longer disrespectful, but a naked slap in the face of the Shimada clan.

But before Hanzo could speak, Hyuga Kagahiko spoke first: "I haven't informed the elders about this matter yet. These three are the young clan leader of the Shimada clan, the fifth elder and the tenth elder. They are here to discuss the matter between the two clans.

matters of cooperation.

It was my mistake not to inform the elders in advance, and the great elder will not blame me."

Hinata Jinghiko obviously didn't want the elder to make the situation tense, so he simply reconciled and took the responsibility on himself.

The great elder didn't want to be embarrassed by the clan leader in front of other clansmen, so he reluctantly held up his hands and said: "Clan leader, what are you saying? I'm rude, please forgive me."

"You didn't notify me in advance? How about you lie?"

Hanzo and the other three sneered in their hearts.

However, with the steps down, they took advantage of the opportunity to expose this matter. After all, compared to the major issues of the alliance, the attitude of the great elder was just a small problem.

However, the arrival of Hyuga Kagahiko and the Great Elder allowed Hanzo to roughly understand the current situation of the senior members of the Hyuga clan.

Among the eleven people in front of them, only the clan leader Jing Yan and the eldest elder, as well as the two lower-ranking elders, did not wear cloth belts embroidered with the clan emblem on their foreheads. Obviously, these four people are the only ones among the top leaders of the Hyuga clan.

The remaining seven people, including the two elite jounin, should all be from separate families.

Although they are at the top because of their strength, they probably don’t have much say when it comes to discussions.

"So, now, the head of the Hyuga clan hopes to form an alliance with us, while the great elder hopes to join forces with the Sarutobi clan for hegemony." Hanzo silently noted in his mind.

"As for the remaining two people..." Hanzo glanced at the two elders of the clan who were powerful jonins. They were looking at their noses and their minds, as if the situation in front of them had nothing to do with them.

"For the time being, we can be considered neutral..."

"Come here, add three chairs for the three distinguished guests." Hinata Kaghiko ordered.

Soon, several ninjas added three chairs, directly opposite Jingyan.

Hanzo and the three others immediately took their seats.

Seeing the two elders sitting on both sides of Hanzo consciously, Hyuga Kaghiko and the elder were moved in their hearts.

"I didn't expect that this young man is the real talker..."

At the same time, Hinata Jinghiko also felt sad.

At such a young age, Hanzo was able to enlist the help of two elders who were jounin and above.

Although his successor is excellent, he is much worse than Hanzo. At least he is not qualified to attend high-level meetings yet.

Not to mention the heir, even as the clan leader, his voice within the clan is not much stronger than that of several clan elders.

After all, Hyuga Kagahiko is only an elite jounin.

Without strength advantage, it is obviously impossible for him to keep his promise simply by relying on his status as a clan leader.

On the contrary, people like Chongnian and Thousand-Armed Buddha, although they respect the opinions of the elders, when they really make up their minds, the elders can only obey the will of the clan leader.

"I wonder what benefits our clan can gain from forming an alliance with the Shimada clan?"

Hyuga Kagahiko didn't make too many detours and went straight to the point.

"First, the two tribes form an alliance, and one side will help each other. Any attack by other forces on one of the tribes will be regarded as an attack on the two tribes, and the other side must provide assistance as soon as possible." Hanzo said first.

Hyuga Jinghiko nodded, this is the right thing to do. If you can't even do this, the so-called alliance has no meaning.

"Second." Hanzo held out two fingers, "The two clans formed a joint high-level, and allocated seats according to the number of ninjas and jounin on both sides. Two jonins will have one seat, and ordinary ninjas will have one seat. From now on, the two clans will be open to the outside world.

be consistent."

As soon as Hanzo finished speaking, the senior leaders of the Hyuga clan were in an uproar.

If the condition just now was just basic, this condition could be regarded as completely binding the two races together.

The Hyuga clan has three fewer Jonin than the Shimada clan, and the number of ninjas is only about half of what Shimada belongs to today.

If this condition is followed, the alliance will undoubtedly be led by the Shimada clan.

"The young patriarch said it lightly. If the Shimada clan's plan is followed, wouldn't our Hyuga clan become your vassal?" the elder was the first to sneer.

Hanzo shook his head and said: "The Great Elder is overly worried. If we go by this condition, our clan only accounts for 60% of the top management, and the nobles only occupy 40% of the seats. How can we say that they are vassals of our clan?"

Woolen cloth?"

Before the great elder could continue to refute, Hanzo took the lead and said: "Elder, don't worry, I have a third point here.

Thirdly, the finances of the two ethnic groups are unified, and how the revenue is used will be decided by the top management of the union, and no one ethnic group can use it privately."

If the condition just now was a slap in the face, this was the sweet date given by the Shimada clan.

To be honest, the Hyuga clan's financial situation is average, otherwise the number of ninjas would not be maintained at around 600 for a long time.

Counting vassals, the Shimada clan now has more than 1,200 ninjas. Even if the per capita situation is worse, the income of the Shimada clan is initially estimated to be at least 70% higher than that of the Hyuga clan.

This is actually the Shimada clan's hope to transfer part of their economic interests in exchange for concessions in the Hyuga clan's political voice.

After all, the improved economic situation means that the Hyuga clan can train more ninjas and their strength will grow steadily. Moreover, if the two clans join forces, they will definitely get a bigger piece of the pie in the Fire Nation's commission, which is considered a win-win situation.

.

"These are the three conditions of our clan. Of course, this is just a general framework. The specific details can be discussed in detail after the alliance is finalized." Hanzo finally said.

At this time, the elders of the Hyuga clan obviously had different views on the conditions of the Shimada clan, but due to the presence of Hanzo and the other three, they could not discuss it directly.

Hyuga Jinghiko also saw this and said simply: "Three distinguished guests have come from afar. Why don't I let the clansmen take you to repair it first? The elders and I also need to discuss it. I will entertain the three of you later.

."

Naturally, Hanzo and the three of them were all right, and immediately, a Hyuga clan member led the three of them away.

Seeing the outsiders leaving, the senior leaders of the Hyuga clan immediately started a heated discussion...
