The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

It's already the third day of repelling the invading ninjas.

On this day, the Shimada clan and the entire ninja world received a piece of breaking news.

The Uchiha clan and the Hagoromo clan teamed up to besiege the Senju clan. At the critical moment, the Shimada clan supported the Senju clan, and the two clans joined forces to complete the counterattack.

Shimada Shigenen, the leader of the Shimada clan, personally killed the chief elder of the Uchiha clan, while Uchiha Tajima, the leader of the clan, was seriously injured and escaped.

After this battle, the Uchiha clan's vitality was severely damaged, and they lost the capital to fight against the Senju clan in a short period of time.

Correspondingly, the Shimada clan became famous, and for a time, they had the potential to replace Uchiha and become one of the two strongest clans in the Warring States Period.

After Hanzo heard the news, he was not as excited as other tribesmen.

As the saying goes, the power of the Shimada clan has reached its peak, but it has also laid the foundation for disaster.

Hanzo knew without even thinking that the Senju clan, who were fighting together in the same trench a few hours ago, would be the first to murmur in their hearts.

And after the daimyo knew the ins and outs of the whole incident, he would inevitably become wary of the Shimada clan.

Not to mention General Qingxi, Hagoromo and Uchiha who had just lost their troops.

Looking at the entire Fire Country, in a short period of time, there is only one Hyuga clan that the Shimada clan can and is worth fighting for.

But no matter how worried Hanzo was, he was only four years old and had no right to speak.

He had successfully persuaded Renmei before, but it certainly made the elders pay more attention to him afterwards.

But keeping a low profile or something like that is not something he can decide.

Especially for the ninja clan who are actually "mercenaries", this kind of reputation is simply a supreme honor.

At this moment, he jumped out and said that the family was facing a crisis and that there was a risk of overturning. Others would not have any idea except that he was causing trouble.

"I can only wait two days to find a chance to talk to my father..." Hanzo said secretly.

Hanzo doesn't have the capital to influence other senior executives, but there is still some hope of influencing his father.

At least Hanzo knew that Zhongnian would definitely listen carefully to what he had to say, instead of just thinking that it was a kid messing around.

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chongnian led his clan members back to their base.

Of course, he came back with a lot of supplies.

The Senju clan suffered a lot of losses in this war. The Uchiha clan has learned a lesson, and the Hagoromo clan will naturally not fare well either.

The two tribes drove to the Hagoromo Clan's camp and forced the Hagoromo Clan to hand over a considerable amount of supplies, including a large number of ninja tools, medicines, etc.

Although the Senju clan got the lion's share, the Shimada clan also gained a lot.

In addition to leaving part of the working capital as a reward from the daimyo, the rest was also exchanged for various daily necessities and ninja tools.

Compared with the huge harvest, the Shimada clan's losses were extremely small, and it can be said that they made a lot of money.

"What? Qingxi's army attacked the tribe's territory?"

As soon as the high-spirited Zhongnian returned to his family, before he could share the joy with his wife, he received such terrible news.

"Yes. If Hanzo hadn't discovered some clues in advance, I'm afraid the family would have been hit hard this time."

The great elder said seriously to Zhongnian and the three elders who had just returned to the family.

Chongnian was silent for a while, while the elders and steward Yi Teng looked at Chongnian silently, waiting for him to make the final decision.

After a while, Chongnian said: "Let's move. The family has been staying in this station for a long time. This time the celebratory ninja army raided, the situation in the station will be exposed to some extent. It is no longer safe here."

"Clan leader!" The fourth elder with a somewhat hot temper was the first to stand up and said, "Is this the sneak attack that we should just forget about?"

"Yes, Patriarch, I don't think we can just celebrate that guy so cheaply." The Sixth Elder also objected.

"Okay!" Zhongnian frowned and shouted.

The elders suddenly became quiet.

This time, he showed great power on the battlefield, and even used the transformation technique that only the Black Dragon Mark possesses.

Although it was incomplete, it also let everyone know that his strength had reached a new level.

Strength determines status. It is not an exaggeration to say that the current senior leaders of the Shimada clan have grown up in their senior years, and the elders will not be dissatisfied at all.

Just like the Senju Hashirama of later generations, even if Tobirama was dissatisfied with his decision-making, he could not stop Hashirama's decision.

"Do you think that the Shimada clan is now very strong and it's time to take a further step?" Zhongnian said in a deep voice.

The elders did not speak, but from their eyes, it was obvious that this was exactly what they meant.

Only the second elder looked thoughtful, while the first elder looked at Zhongnian with some satisfaction.

"Although we have gained a lot from this mission, we have also made great enemies with Hagoromo, Uchiha and General Qingxi. Although the guy between the daimyo and the Senju Buddha greeted us with a smile, he may not have no fear of us."

Nian explained that his idea coincided with Hanzo's.

"Our current strength is very strong, but it is only because I have condensed the incomplete transformation technique.

Our losses in these two battles were very small, and there were many objective factors. In fact, in a one-on-one battle, we may not have much advantage.

However, as long as we wait twenty years, or even fifteen years, for Hanzo and the Genji brothers to grow up, what will our clan be like? I think you all understand without me saying more."

"Hahahahahaha."

Just when the elders were stunned, the great elder suddenly burst into laughter.

I saw him stand up and said happily: "Chongnian, you have really grown up, and I can finally leave the family in your hands with confidence."

With that said, the first elder handed the jade ring representing the status of the first elder of the family to the second elder beside him, and said: "Hesong, from today on, you are the first elder, and I, an old man, can finally retire."

"Uncle Hidecho, you..." The second elder, Shimada Hematsu, was a little surprised, and even the private address came out.

"You remember, you must assist Zhongnian." The great elder, no, it was Hidenaga Shimada, but he didn't listen to what he said and directly ordered.

Then he turned to Zhongnian and said: "Clan Chief, my health is getting worse day by day. Now that the Clan Chief has a strategy and a successor, I can rest assured that this burden can finally be relieved."

"Uncle Xiuchang, the family still needs you." Zhongnian was also a little confused and said subconsciously.

"Hey, I just stepped down from the position of great elder. If the family needs my old bones in the future, I will naturally do my part." Shimada Hidenaga said.

Zhongnian hesitated for a moment, looked at Xiuchang's somewhat thin body, who was already over sixty years old, and finally said: "Uncle Xiuchang has worked hard for the family, so it's time to rest. I remember that boy Ayi is almost two years old."

, Uncle Xiuchang can also spend time with his grandson."

Thinking of his grandson, Xiuchang also showed a smile, but he still said: "I have to train that brat well so that I can assist the young patriarch in the future."

Finally, under the leadership of Zhongnian, the elders and steward Yiteng saluted the old man who had worked so hard and accomplished so much.

After the meeting, Yi Teng, who had watched the whole process, secretly sighed: "One era has ended...but when will another era begin?"

He couldn't help but look at the position of the patriarch's house. His eyes seemed to penetrate all obstacles and saw the four-year-old child who had just completed a day of practice and returned home.
