The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

After a night of repairs, the Shimada clan began to rush back to their base.

"Great Elder, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. Yuanjiu, you have to follow the arrangements of the Great Elder along the way."

"Young patriarch, don't worry."

"clear!"

At this time, the Shimada clan and Hanzo were arranging for personnel to be sent to the Kingdom of Water.

After much deliberation, Hanzo decided to let the great elder Hematsu take Motojiu with him to visit the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

Naturally, these two people were not chosen randomly by Hanzo.

The Grand Elder is apparently the second-in-command of the family, and his mission to the Kingdom of Water will allow the Water Daimyo to feel the sincerity of the Shimada clan.

The Great Elder is also one of the few elders in the family who is involved in negotiation and diplomacy in addition to fighting, so it is obviously appropriate to send him there.

As for Motohisa, he went on behalf of Hanzo.

Although the Great Elder is stable, he doesn't quite understand Hanzo's thoughts after all.

As Hanzo's bodyguard, Motojiu was influenced by everything he heard and saw, and was one of the clan members who was most deeply influenced by him.

Therefore, Motohisa can almost guess Hanzo's thoughts based on the actual situation.

In addition, these two people are at least strong enough to be jounin, no matter what danger they encounter, they are enough to deal with it.

"This mission is no small matter. The future of our family is entrusted to you." Hanzo solemnly enjoined.

After hearing this, the two of them nodded seriously and then disappeared into the conference room.

Hanzo watched the two people disappear, then got up and walked outside the conference room.

In this war, the Shimada clan suffered heavy losses. At this time, almost every family in the family had to pay filial piety.

Because the battlefield was dangerous and the Shimada clan evacuated hastily, almost all the dead ninjas could not even find their bodies.

Relatives and friends of these people can only erect monuments for them, but cannot even lay them to rest.

Hanzo sighed.

Since he came to the ninja world, this was the first time he had seen his family suffer such huge losses.

Seeing the densely packed tombstones with your own eyes is different from seeing the rows of commemorative monuments in Konoha in the anime.

"This must be the first time for the young patriarch to see such a scene."

A hoarse voice sounded behind Hanzo.

Hanzo turned to look at him.

It was an old man with a wrinkled face.

Hanzo recognized him, he was the old man in charge of cleaning the conference room in the family.

Since Hanzo first came here, he has been responsible for the cleaning work here.

The old man is like an invisible person, never appearing in front of the senior executives, and never curious about the content of their conversations, but he ensures that every place here is clean and tidy at all times.

Hanzo asked curiously: "Have you seen it many times?"

The old man smiled and said: "I am eighty-three years old this year. When I was young, Master Qianhe was still in charge of the family."

Hanzo was stunned. Shimada Chiwa also knew that this was Hanzo's great-uncle and the patriarch of the previous generation.

In this way, this old man has really witnessed the success of three generations of his family.

The old man continued: "I have no ninja talent since I was a child. Not only did I inherit the White Dragon Mark, but I also spent a month refining chakra without success. In the end, I had no choice but to accept this fact.

However, my younger brother has ninja talent. Later, every time he went on an expedition with Chiwa-sama, I would prepare armor, ninja tools, and occasionally use the money I saved to buy him a few detonating charms.

However, one time, after Lord Chiwa took my brother on an expedition, neither of them came back, and then the clan leader became Lord Sadaku."

The old man shook his head when he said this and said: "I don't know how tragic that battle was. I only know that the family hurriedly moved away from the original residence after the incident. They did not receive any commissions for a full year and were almost isolated from the world.

Every family wears filial piety, of course, I am one of them."

Hanzo was silent when he heard this, he didn't know what to say.

However, the old man didn't seem to care whether Hanzo answered or not, and just said to himself: "Later, when Master Zhenjiu led the family, there were several similar situations, but since my brother was killed in battle, I don't care so much about these things.

.”

The old man suddenly patted Hanzo on the shoulder and said: "So Mr. Chungnian is really a good patriarch. I remember that he has been leading the family for more than 20 years. This is the first time. The young patriarch must also work hard in the future.

"

After that, the old man left slowly.

Hanzo looked at his back and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

"This old man is really interesting."

Although the old man said that he didn't care much about this since his brother passed away, but if he really didn't care, he wouldn't rush to Hanzo and say this.

Hanzo whispered: "Don't worry, our family will never have this kind of situation again in the future."

…

Different from the somewhat gloomy atmosphere of the Shimada clan, the Uchiha clan is now in a state of joy.

This victory over the Shimada clan can be said to have greatly boosted the morale of the Uchiha clan.

Since that defeat, the Uchiha clan has been in trouble. Although they defeated the Hagoromo clan, they had to share their spoils with the Inorakacho and Sarutobi clan.

Besides, the Shimada clan is like a heavy mountain, weighing down the Uchiha clan so much that they can't breathe.

And this time, although the situation was special, it was undeniable that they defeated the Shimada clan without any major losses.

On the contrary, both of their old enemies suffered heavy losses, so the nostrils of the Uchiha clan showed signs of returning to their old ways.

The one who has experienced it most deeply is the Sarutobi clan under the leadership of Sasuke Sarutobi.

They clearly felt that the Uchiha clan's attitude towards them was gradually changing.

Even within the Uchiha clan, voices are gradually emerging that they want the thief to pay the price.

Who is the thief?

Naturally, they are the Inarakacho and Sarutobi clan.

It doesn't matter that Inokacho is taking care of the Senju clan now, but the Sarutobi clan is the first to bear the brunt.

Sarutobi Sasuke was also looking sad during this time, and he couldn't help but regret his original choice.

This Uchiha clan is indeed not a good partner.

Fortunately, Uchiha Tajima ignored these voices and instead comforted Sarutobi Sasuke, which finally made him feel a little more at ease.

"Chief, since the Shimada clan has declined, we no longer need to bear with the Senju clan's arrogance and simply tear up the Laoshizi alliance."

At the high-level meeting, an Uchiha elder said loudly.

"Yeah, why bother putting up with the Thousand Hands Clan anymore..."

"..."

There are many voices below that echo this elder.

However, Uchiha Tajima said slowly and expressionlessly: "Who can deal with Shimada Shigenen?"

As soon as these words came out, all the elders suddenly became quiet.

"Have you all forgotten the battle between us and the Shimada clan a few years ago?

At that time, our strength was even slightly stronger than the Shimada clan, but what was the result?"

Uchiha Tajima's question made all the elders break into cold sweat.

Uchiha Tajima glanced around for a week and said: "As long as Shimada Shigenen is still there, the alliance with the Senju clan cannot be broken for the time being. Of course..."

Uchiha Tajima also showed a sneer.

"Maybe the content of the covenant needs to be adjusted..."
