The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

But he said that with the help of the family ninjas, the settlements of the Shimada and Hyuga clans soon began to take shape.

Although it is no better than the original residence that has been in operation for many years, there are no problems in daily life.

The only troublesome thing is that from now on the clan will have to go to the Water Capital by boat to purchase supplies.

Fortunately, Black Rock Island and Ian Island are not far from the Water Capital, so it’s not too troublesome.

Seeing that the family was almost on the right track, in the new year, Hanzo and Hyuga Kaghiko went to visit the water daimyo together.

Shui Daming was also very enthusiastic about the three of them, and the two parties took this opportunity to formally finalize the cooperation plan, which was regarded as an agreement to cooperate.

"Dad, do we really want to take 80% of the commission from Daming Mansion in the Land of Water?"

After leaving Daming Mansion, Hanzo frowned and said to Chongnian.

Although the various decisions of the Shimada clan are now presided over by Hanzo, when it comes to negotiations, Hanzo has little experience after all, so he still came forward just now, with Hanzo watching from the sidelines.

Hearing Chongnian made such a request, Hanzo had the intention to object at the time, but Chongnian used his eyes to signal Hanzo to be silent, so Hanzo endured it.

As for the Sui Daiming, it makes no difference to him who accepts his commission. On the contrary, it can completely tie the Shimada clan and the Daiming Mansion in the same boat. The Sui Daiming naturally agrees.

Of course, as soon as he left Daming Mansion, Hanzo couldn't help but raise questions.

As for Hinata Jinghiko, he was also a little puzzled.

Zhongnian was in a good mood at this time and said with a smile: "This time we moved to the Kingdom of Water, the family's assets have suffered a lot. With so many commissions from the Daming Palace of the Kingdom of Water, our two clans can recover as quickly as possible.

There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Hanzo was even more confused after hearing this: "But what about the five major families in the Kingdom of Water? Although they have other incomes, the commission from the Daming Palace is also a very important source of wealth for these families. In this way, wouldn't it encourage them to join forces with us?

Possibility of confrontation?”

Zhongnian shook his head and said: "There is a lot of hatred between the five major families in the Kingdom of Water. As long as we use a little temptation, one or two families will turn to us. There is nothing to worry about."

Seeing that Hanzo wanted to ask again, Zhongnian stopped him and said: "Don't ask now, you will know in a few days."

Seeing this, Hanzo could only suppress his confusion secretly.

…

The Shimada clan's move to the Land of Water was no less than a hurricane to the native ninjas of the Land of Water.

Now, the Daming Palace has handed over 80% of the commission to the Shimada clan, which naturally caused a greater backlash from the local ninja clan in the Land of Water.

"Clan leader, this Shimada clan is too arrogant. They fled the Country of Fire like a lost dog, and now they dare to be so arrogant."

At the residence of the Gui Deng clan, an elder Gui Deng said angrily to the clan leader Gui Deng Yanyue.

However, Gui Deng Yanyue's expression was quite calm.

"Although the Shimada clan was forced to leave the Land of Fire by the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, their strength has not been greatly reduced. Today, together with the Hyuga clan, they still have thousands of ninjas and more than fifteen jounin.

Why don't any ninja clan whose strength far exceeds that of our Water Kingdom dare not be rampant?" Gui Deng Yanyue said calmly.

The elder who spoke before looked at the senior management of the Ghost Lantern Clan, which only had seven members, and could only shut his mouth.

"But we are not the ones who are most anxious now. The Inegasaki clan and the Terumi clan are the most involved with the Daming Prefecture. As for us, the commissions from the Daming Prefecture are not very important to us. The Shimada clan has the strength, so they will give in.

"After Gui Deng Yanyue said that, he stood up and walked out.

Before leaving, he left a message lightly: "Great Elder, inform everyone below that from now on, the land tax collected by our Gui Deng clan will be increased by half."

"Yes, patriarch!"

That's right, the biggest conflict between the Daming Mansion of the Water Kingdom and the Ninja Clan of the Water Kingdom is that, except for the islands around the Water City, the taxes of the rest of the Water Kingdom are directly cut off by several major Ninja clans.

The water daimyo has no power in his hands, so even if he is dissatisfied, there is nothing he can do.

Fortunately, the Terumi clan and the Gansaki clan were willing to give even part of the taxes collected to the Daimyo Prefecture. Although it was not much, it still saved some face for the Daimyo.

As for the other three clans, they simply did not use the water daimyo. The water daimyo chose to protect themselves and for the normal operation of the water city, they had to allocate the entrustment of the daming mansion to the five major families.

How deep is the resentment accumulated over time?

Moreover, these ninjas only care about themselves, and for some small profits, they even raise some pirates who specialize in plundering merchants passing through the border, and then these ninjas divide it with the pirates.

This has also caused maritime trade, one of the two pillars of the Water Country's economy, to shrink in recent years.

Nowadays, the national power of the Kingdom of Water is at the bottom among the five major countries, so how can he not be annoyed.

However, for this reason, although these ninjas were slightly angry in their hearts regarding the Shimada clan's monopoly on the Water Daming Mansion's commission, their reaction was not that intense.

The only two clans excepted are the Terumi clan and the Mikigaki clan.

The top leaders of the two clans were also very entangled at this time.

In order to save face for the water lord, these two clans took over the two largest shares of the water lord's commissions.

Fortunately, now, the Shui Daiming only symbolically left 20% of the commission to be divided between my two clans, which can be regarded as saving face for them...

It's a pity that face is of no use, less money is the real thing.

However, the powerful strength of the Shimada clan prevented them from acting rashly.

Both clans know that their little strength will be in vain if they fight head-on with the Shimada clan.

Even if he brings in another family who has the same problem as him, since neither family has a strong man who can surpass Jonin, I'm afraid it's just a gift.

"Clan leader, how about we contact the Minazuki clan."

An elder of the Terumi clan said hesitantly.

The grievances and resentments among the shinobi of the Land of Water are enough to fill a biography.

Although various races have a lot of hatred and conflicts with each other, friendship can actually be achieved.

The Minazuki clan is considered to be one of the two clans with strong men who surpass Jonin, and the one with a slightly better relationship with the Terumi clan.

The ninja clan of the Fire Country wants to unify the Fire Country, and naturally the two giants of the Water Country also have this idea.

However, the strength of the five major ninja clans always changes, and no one has ever had an absolute advantage. Therefore, the other three major families will naturally not be willing to become other families' younger brothers easily. They all want to train their younger generations well so that their own families can have a good one.

An existence beyond jounin.

So to be honest, Chief Terumi doesn't want to bow to the Minazuki clan.

The Minazuki clan is not a philanthropist, so if they want their help, the Terumi clan will have to pay a sufficient price.

Terumi Rong hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Don't mention it now, I'll think about it later."

But at this moment, ninjas from the Terumi clan suddenly appeared at the high-level meeting.

"Clan leader, an envoy from the Shimada clan is here."

"The messenger of the Shimada clan?"

Terumi Rong and several elders looked at each other, and their frowns relaxed.

His tone became much more relaxed, and he said slowly: "Invite him in."
