The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Under the cover of darkness, no one knew what Hei Zetsu and Izuna said.

It's just that when Izuna walked out of the shrine, his expression was a little complicated.

After a while, he sighed, seeming to have made up his mind.

…

After the first chuunin exam ended, the entire ninja world became completely calm.

There were no strong enemies outside, and everything was in ruins internally. For a time, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure and Kumogakure began to restore the village's production with all their strength.

Under the leadership of Hanzo, Konoha also began to immerse itself in farming.

Buildings are rising one after another in the village. Around the village, in addition to the preservation of the dead forest, the fertile land has gradually turned into acres and acres of fertile farmland.

It is worth mentioning that with the investment of funds and the expansion of personnel, the Konoha Science and Technology Bureau continues to spread good news, including various technical improvements, which have greatly improved Konoha's production efficiency, and under Hanzo's advocacy

, the Science and Technology Bureau also set up a special electric energy research team to begin exploring the secrets of electric energy.

In addition, with the support of Konoha's solid foundation and policy advantages, Konoha's business tentacles began to spread to the four major countries.

In just a few years, Konoha's capital has grown to a small scale in the Kingdom of Wind, Kingdom of Earth and Kingdom of Thunder.

The Kingdom of Water, which shares interests with Konoha, has gone a step further. Many businessmen in the Kingdom of Water have formed alliances with Konoha's capital. As for the younger brothers under Konoha, they only follow the lead of the eldest brother.

However, on the surface, Konoha is immersed in farming and expanding its influence, but in the dark, Konoha's small actions have not stopped.

Under the cover of business activities, many Konoha agents have sneaked into other countries to search for the whereabouts of Ghost Lantern Genzuki, but there has been no results yet.

"Hokage-sama, this is the information we got this month. We haven't found any clues yet. This subordinate is incompetent. Please punish me, Hokage-sama." On the rooftop of the Hokage building, Hanzo was overlooking Konoha under the morning sun, and a

A ninja dressed as an ANBU was kneeling on one knee behind Hanzo, lowering his head and reporting to him with some shame.

"That's it..."

Compared with the guilt of his subordinates, Hanzo's voice was very calm. If you want to know the traces of Black Zetsu, you need to have enough patience. Therefore, even though he has found nothing in more than three years, Hanzo is not disappointed, and he is not disappointed.

Not harsh on these ninjas.

"Forget it, you can continue to inquire, remember to collect any possible information." Hanzo said calmly.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." The ninja lowered his head a little more, responded and disappeared on the rooftop of the Hokage building.

After the ANBU ninja left, Hanzo looked at the sun and felt that time was almost up. Then he jumped off the rooftop and walked towards the ninja school.

Today is the day when Hanzo's disciple Yanagimura Hei graduates from the ninja school.

More than three years and nearly four years have passed since the first Chunin Examination.

Now twelve years old, Yanagimura Hei is at the age to graduate from the ninja school.

Of course, in fact, this child has applied several times to graduate early, but Hanzo has never approved it.

Not just him, Hanzo did not approve any request for early graduation from anyone.

I think back when Konoha was not yet established, he made a three-clan agreement with Hashirama and Madara to prohibit ninjas who were too young from participating in the war.

Although it is now a peaceful era, the tasks faced by genin after graduation are far less cruel than during the war, but Hanzo has no intention of tearing a hole in the original agreement between the three clans.

Although the agreement was signed before the establishment of the village in Konoha, because it was signed by the three giants of Konoha, it is now recognized in Konoha.

But if Hanzo eats this agreement himself, it’s hard to say what future generations will do.

Just when he was thinking wildly, the gate of the ninja school also appeared in Hanzo's sight.

Glancing around, Hanzo's eyes locked on a young man.

"Heibei, aren't your father and mother here?" Hanzo walked up to his disciple with a faint smile.

"No." Yanagimura Bie shook his head and said, "I made an agreement with my parents that the teacher will come to my graduation ceremony today."

"Okay, let's go in." After listening to this kid's words, Hanzo thought for a moment and understood what he was thinking.

He didn't want his parents to get involved in the ninja world too much.

After all, Yanagimura Bie's mother and stepfather are ordinary people. If he is an ordinary ninja, then that's it.

But in addition to being a ninja, he is also the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha, and his special status will naturally bring about deeper concerns.

Now that his disciples had made their decision, Hanzo didn't say anything more.

The master and apprentice then walked into the ninja school.

In the current ninja school, the first batch of students have graduated. Yanagimura Hei and his students, who are from the ninja clan, are the last batch of students who have received systematic family education before entering school.

After they graduate, the students in the ninja school are purely trained by the ninja school system.

"Teacher, is your term about to expire?" Halfway through, Yanamurabei suddenly asked Hanzo.

Hanzo was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded and said: "Yes, in about half a month, it will be time to hold a Jonin Conference to elect a new Hokage."

There was only one month left in the five-year term that the Fire Nation Ninja clan had set before establishing the village in Konoha.

Theoretically, both Hanzo and the other nine elders are about to step down.

"Hmph, the teacher must be re-elected." Yanamurabei snorted, and then said with confidence.

"Don't say this nonsense." Although Hanzo was very confident in his heart, he said seriously with a straight face: "This Hokage was selected by the jounin of the village and is recognized as the most suitable to lead the village.

It’s not you, the kid, who has the final say on whether or not he will be re-elected.”

"Yes, the teacher is right." Yanagimura Bie rolled his eyes and responded in a perfunctory manner, obviously not taking Hanzo's words seriously.

"Hey, this kid..." Hanzo smiled helplessly.

However, Yanamurabei's attitude was not his own idea, but the consensus of the vast majority of the entire village.

In the past five years, the changes in Konoha, the changes in the Land of Fire, and even the changes in the ninja world have been witnessed by the villagers.

The political achievements achieved by Konoha's first senior officials are also recognized by everyone.

Even if Hanzo doesn't use any tricks, the probability of his re-election is very high. Coupled with the support of the ninja clan who have good relations with the Shimada clan, Hanzo's re-election this time can be said to be a sure shot.

Of course, he, the Hokage, is sure of it, but the other elders are not so sure.

Old people like Senju Takemaru and Uchiha Kazuya are very old. In addition, when the original Hyuga clan was in rebellion, Genji's promise to Senju Tobirama also needed Hanzo to fulfill it. In short, the cake for the top management of Konoha is

It's time to take action.
