The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

After defeating the scouts sent by Ryuji Cave and Mt. Myoboku, Madara Uchiha and his gang disappeared completely, as if they had disappeared from the world and made no further moves.

As for the three major ninja villages except Konoha and Kirigakure, they were still a little confused at first. I don't know why Madara Uchiha suddenly kept a low profile.

But as time went by, the news of Hanzo's return to Konoha finally spread throughout the ninja world.

For a time, the ninja world was shocked, and the three major ninja villages finally knew why Uchiha Madara suddenly gave in.

The top leaders of the three major ninja villages, Kumogakure, Sunagakure and Iwagakure, who were the first to receive the news, quickly held a high-level meeting to discuss the future policies of their ninja villages after the return of the first Hokage.

"I didn't expect that the first Hokage could actually come back after missing for so long. What did you think this Hokage did in the past few months?"

In the Wind Country, Sand Hidden Village, in the Kazekage's office, the first Kazekage Reito and his two cronies, Monzaemon and Samana, were sitting opposite each other.

After reading the information in his hand, the future second-generation Kazekage Samana couldn't help but feel very confused.

After hearing Samana's question, Reito and Zaemon didn't say anything, but judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they both felt the same way.

Although Konoha has been claiming to the outside world that the first Hokage is leaving the village temporarily and will come back after a while, several months have passed and there has been no news from Hanzo.

Under this situation, the Ninja Village naturally believed that the possibility of Hanzo coming back was very low.

After all, Hanzo is the first Hokage, not just a cat or a dog. The ninja world is only so big. Even if the Hokage is busy with something, is it difficult to leave a shadow clone in the village?

After all, it is difficult for normal people to think about time travel.

Therefore, in the eyes of these people who knew nothing, Hanzo might have been plotted and was already dead. It was just that Konoha said he was missing in order to cover up others' eyes.

Including the fact that the Shimada clan simply transferred part of their power to the Senju clan, this seems to be supported by this.

So much so that now, the top leaders of the three great ninja villages have almost acquiesced in the fact that Hanzo died. Even Kirigakure, who had always supported Konoha, felt guilty before.

It was just fear of Hashirama's existence and the threat of Uchiha Madara that no one took advantage of this to make any big move.

But precisely because of this, these people were naturally shocked when they suddenly heard the news of Hanzo's return.

"Okay, there's no point in talking about this now. What should we do next?" After a moment, Monzaemon was the first to come back to his senses. He waved his hand and looked at him at the same time.

The first Kazekage and Samana.

The Kazekage and Salmon woke up from their reverie upon hearing this. When they heard Zaemon's question, Salmon couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "What should I do? What else is there to say? Now we don't even have tailed beasts."

All lost, the first Hokage suddenly returned.

As one goes and the other goes, how can we still have the confidence to break up with Konoha? In my opinion, the village should honestly guard this one-third of an acre of the Kingdom of Wind."

Although the Samana's words sound depressing, they are also true.

Today's Sunagakure can be said to be the weakest period since the founding of the village. Relatively speaking, although Konoha has experienced the death of Uchiha Izuna and the defection of Uchiha Madara, overall, the top combat power is still crushed.

Ninja villages, including the Uchiha clan, did not defect with Uchiha Madara, but stayed in Konoha. This made Konoha's losses actually not that big.

At the moment, Sunagakure really doesn't have the confidence to make a fuss when facing Konoha.

"Shamon is right, the village will go into hibernation for the time being... Besides, the return of the first Hokage is not without its benefits. At least Uchiha Madara will not dare to be as unscrupulous as before. If he is lucky, the village may still be alive.

It’s a chance to get back one tail.” The first Kazekage could only try his best to think the best of things.

Different from the original time and space, when the Akatsuki organization collected tailed beasts, the five major ninja villages did not actually take it seriously.

After all, in the eyes of the five major ninja villages, Akatsuki is just a mercenary organization. Danzo has a little more information and knows that Akatsuki has considerable influence in the Land of Rain, but that's it.

Even though there are many powerful rebellious ninjas in the Akatsuki organization, so what?

In the eyes of the five great ninja villages, Akatsuki has always been just a clown.

But Uchiha Madara is different.

That was a ninja who was on par with the First Hokage and Senju Hashirama, and was incredibly strong.

Uchiha Madara collects tailed beasts, just thinking about it makes people shudder.

Including the Five Kage Conference in the original time and space, after Obito named Uchiha Madara, every ninja village was also afraid of him. Even at that time, Uchiha Madara was theoretically an old man over a hundred years old.

.

Now, this deterrent force will only become stronger.

Although the return of the first Hokage has made Konoha's status as stable as Mount Tai again, when it comes to Uchiha Madara, Hokage must be on the same front as the five great ninja villages. From this perspective, Hanzo has become Sunagakure and others.

The protective umbrella of the three major ninja villages.

"That's true..." After hearing what Feng Ying said, Shamon and Zaemon also nodded slightly.

"Okay, anyway, let's do this for now. Fortunately, the first Hokage's governing philosophy is relatively mild. As long as we don't make trouble, this Hokage won't come to trouble us." Lie Dou concluded.

With two voices of approval, Sunagakure Village set its future diplomatic strategy.

Coincidentally, in addition to Sand Hidden Village, Iwagakure Village and Kumo Hidden Village have also made similar decisions.

Even the most unruly Yunyin, under the absolute strength and unfavorable situation, does not dare to have any different intentions.

The decisions of the three major ninja villages were ultimately reflected in their actions.

This means that the three major ninja villages have fully moved towards Konoha in terms of diplomacy. It can be said that the five major ninja villages, which were originally nominally equal, have gradually undergone changes.

The many small countries and villages scattered among the five major countries are not fools. Although they do not know the specific decisions of Sunagakure, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, their words can lie, but their specific actions cannot lie.

Among the original four major ninja villages, except for Kirigakure who was considered a die-hard supporter of Konoha, the other three major ninja villages never stopped making small moves behind the scenes.

Especially in the Five Shadows Conference, an occasion for gossiping, the secret connections and provocations can be said to be endless.

However, with the changes in the policies of the three major ninja villages, these small moves have become less and less, and the small ninja villages who have seen everything also understand that with the changes in the situation, the giants of the ninja world have finally decided

the final outcome.
