The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

After thinking for a moment, Hanzo gave up the idea of ​​leaving directly, and instead turned and walked towards the house of the two clan elders.

At this time, the fifth elder and the tenth elder were having a talk with the two clan elders of the Hyuga clan.

Although they were not interested in these contents, the two of them could not directly drive away the fifth and tenth elders.

I can only silently endure the mental pollution of the two of them.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ri Xiangying, an elder of the clan, stood up almost reflexively and hurriedly prepared to open the door, hoping that someone could save her from the boring conversation.

He opened the door full of expectation, seeing a familiar appearance, familiar clothes, and familiar clan emblem.

"..."

Ri Xiangying looked like she was going to faint.

Hanzo was also stunned when he saw this, and couldn't help but look at the two elders.

There was also a hint of blame in his eyes, as if asking: "What did you two do to them?"

…

After a brief interlude, the two clan elders invited Hanzo to sit on the chair.

When the fifth elder and the tenth elder saw Hanzo arriving, they stopped chatting.

The two clan members also seemed to notice the change in the atmosphere, and their expressions gradually became serious.

"I'll get straight to the point. I hope you two can support the alliance between the Hyuga clan and the Shimada clan." After a moment of silence, Hanzo said directly.

To be honest, he was not sure whether he could convince the Zong family.

Because the Hyuga clan is the biggest beneficiary of the current situation of the Hyuga clan.

as expected.

As soon as Hanzo opened his mouth, the two clan elders had different expressions, but both showed a trace of disapproval.

Hyuga Ying said directly: "I think it may be more in line with the interests of the Hyuga clan to be with the Sarutobi clan leader."

Another elder, Hinata Hiroshi, also expressed his approval.

Hanzo was secretly frightened, but fortunately Hinata Kagahiko dragged him down today, otherwise they would have been able to return home by now.

Although he was happy in his heart, Hanzo still smiled lightly on his face and said: "Do you really think that the Hyuga clan and the Sarutobi clan can compete with the real great ninja clan if they join forces?"

Hanzo's voice was indifferent, but the expressions of the two clan elders changed drastically after hearing this.

This is undoubtedly an open disdain for the strength of the Hyuga clan.

Looking at the two angry Hyuga clan members, Hanzo continued calmly: "What I said is the truth. If we use my Shimada clan as a comparison, it's okay.

With the current strength of the Hyuga clan and the Sarutobi clan, even if they could cooperate closely, they would only have one strong man beyond the Kage level, fifteen jounin, and more than nine hundred ninjas.

Except for the slightly larger number of Jonin, all other aspects are inferior to ours, not to mention...can you really cooperate closely?"

Hanzo asked rhetorically.

The two clan members were also speechless for a moment.

Close collaboration?

Not to mention close cooperation, the two communities have not even agreed on the right to take the lead.

With the current attitude of the two tribes, I am afraid that even if they reluctantly form an alliance, the struggle for dominance will not stop.

"I don't need to worry about it, Your Excellency Hanzo." Hinata Ying still said forcefully.

Hanzo seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, and continued: "You two, please don't forget Yu Yilan's lessons learned from the past."

As soon as these words came out, the two clan members could no longer hold back their expressions.

After such a long time since the Hagoromo clan was annihilated, the major ninja clans have already figured out the cause and consequences.

The roles played by the Inoraka Butterfly and Sarutobi clan are undoubtedly known to all the ninja clans.

The Thousand Hands Clan dares to accept Zhulu Die because of the Thousand Hands Clan's absolute strength advantage.

When Zhulu Die joins the Thousand Hands, he actually becomes a vassal of the Thousand Hands clan, and the Thousand Hands Buddha naturally has no fear.

But the Hyuga clan is different. They don't have the strength to vassal the Sarutobi clan. The two clans are partners in the true sense, and at most they have priorities.

When the time comes, if the Sarutobi clan gives them such a beating, who can withstand it?

In fact, the two of them initially had doubts about the Sarutobi clan because of this, just because the elder repeatedly lobbied and tried to impress them, telling them the benefits of cooperating with the Sarutobi clan.

As time went by, the two of them were finally tempted by the conditions offered by the great elder.

Now that Hanzo was provoking him like this, all the worries in his heart emerged again.

Hanzo also sighed silently when he saw this.

After all, the Hyuga clan is still a bit like flowers in a greenhouse.

Just like these two clan elders, as jounin, they have no decisions of their own and are led by others repeatedly.

Thinking of this, Hanzo gradually lost the idea of ​​having a deep conversation with these two wallflowers.

After all, he has convinced them now. If after he leaves, the Senju clan, or the great elder or even Sarutobi Sasuke comes to lobby these two people again, the things they just promised may be ruined in a minute.

…

In the end, Hanzo got a promise of support from the two of them, but Hanzo could only believe 20 to 30% of their promise at most.

However, after walking out of the house, Hanzo was suddenly startled. He felt a huge amount of chakra appear in the house of his separated elder, Hinata Akira, who he had just said goodbye to.

This chakra was stronger than anyone he had seen in the Hyuga clan, and it obviously belonged to a being who surpassed jounin.

"Sarutobi Sasuke..." Hanzo secretly said.

…

"Elder Ming, really don't you think about it?" Sarutobi Sasuke's face looked uncertain.

Hinata Ming still said calmly: "I said, I will vote based on my own considerations. As long as an alliance with the Sarutobi clan can bring the most benefits to our clan, I will naturally support the Sarutobi clan."

Having said that, Hinata sneered secretly in his heart: "Destroy the caged bird? This Sasuke Sarutobi really overestimates his capabilities."

In Hinata Ming's opinion, the Caged Bird Curse Seal is undoubtedly the number one curse seal during the Warring States Period.

Even the Uzumaki clan, the masters in this area, are helpless against the caged bird. What can Sarutobi Sasuke do?

What's more, with the alliance with the Sarutobi clan, the Sarutobi clan can't even put pressure on the clan, so Hyuga Akira naturally doesn't take it seriously.

"In this case, I hope Elder Ming will consider it carefully." Sarutobi Sasuke knew that it was useless to entangle him, so he had no choice but to leave.

Several members of the Senju Clan are also visiting two key figures, Hyuga Kagahiko and the Great Elder.

However, Hanzo really lacks interest in Hyuga Kagahiko and the Great Elder.

As the leader of the faction that supports the Sarutobi clan, the Great Elder will not change his clan so easily.

As for Hyuga Kagahiko...

As the head of the Hyuga clan, regardless of his power, his perspective on issues is different from anyone else's.

Standing as the leader of a family and looking at the overall situation, he will inevitably make the best choice for the family based on interests.

Doesn't he know that he, the clan leader, is the biggest beneficiary of the alliance between the Hyuga clan and the Sarutobi clan?

But comparing the interests of the entire Hyuga clan, he still chose to unite with the Great Ninja clan.

For such a person, Hanzo believes that it is difficult to impress him with sweet words and personal selfishness. If he wants his support, there is only one way.

That is to clearly lay out your chips. Whoever has the most chips will win without a doubt.
