The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Once the alliance is reached, the next step is to sign the alliance letter and a series of fixed procedures.

Although Hanzo also has to attend these things, he doesn't need to worry too much. He only needs to follow the arrangements of the elders.

Although Konoha today is still just a name, and neither site selection nor construction has begun, the Shimada clan still tried its best to hold a grand alliance.

The scale of the alliance meeting even exceeded the grand meeting held by the ninja clan of the Land of Water.

Of course, the reason why this situation occurs is because there are more ninjas in the Fire Country and they are richer.

As the alliance progresses, no matter what the representatives of each clan thought in their hearts before, now everyone is a family, and even if there are some small grudges between families, they will put on a smile at this time.

When the sun sets, the entire alliance meeting is officially completed.

"Everyone."

In the open space outside the meeting hall, Hanzo said to the densely packed representatives of various clans in front of him: "After everyone returns to the clan, it is time to prepare for the move. After I return to the Daimyo, I will inform you of the specific address of the Ninja Village.

of."

Everyone had expected this, so when they heard Hanzo's instructions, there was no strange expression on their faces. They just said in unison: "Yes, Hokage-sama."

Hanzo then nodded with satisfaction and said: "The alliance meeting is over, please excuse me."

With the alliance ceremony completely over, the representatives from each ninja clan did not stay with the Shimada clan for long, and left separately.

However, this does not include the two from the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan.

Hashirama and Madara only sent their younger brothers back to take charge of family affairs, but they themselves stayed.

Because tomorrow, they will go to the Capital of Fire with Hanzo to visit the Fire Daimyo, and at the same time, on behalf of Konoha Hidden Village, formally sign a cooperation agreement with the Country of Fire.

As the sky grew dark, Hanzo was sitting alone in the Shimada clan's conference room.

Not long after, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open slowly.

Hashirama and Madara walked in one after another.

"Hanzo, are you calling us here at this time? What's the emergency?"

Hashirama and Madara each pulled up a chair and sat down. Hashirama then asked carelessly.

Hanzo also smiled when he heard this and said: "Hashirama, Madara, I called you here now mainly because I want to discuss our location selection for Konoha."

As he spoke, Hanzo took out five maps from under the table and placed them on the table, saying: "I ordered the ninjas of the Shimada clan to explore the terrain of the Land of Fire."

Unfolding the maps with topographic maps, Hanzo pointed them to the two of them one by one, and explained: "Except for the places close to the border of the Land of Fire, in order to ensure that the Fire Capital and Daming Mansion are not considered,

In order to ensure safety, our location should not be too far away from the Fire Capital."

Unfolding the last map, Hanzo finally said: "These places were discovered by our tribe's intelligence personnel and are the most suitable places to serve as the addresses of the Ninja Village. You can also read the details for me to see which one is more suitable."

Immediately, Hanzo pushed several maps in front of Liang.

What is the difference between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Water?

Although there are many islands in the Kingdom of Water, each ninja clan in the Kingdom of Water knows which ones are the most valuable and which ones are actually worthless.

Therefore, choosing a location is not a very difficult task for Kirigakure.

But the Fire Nation is different.

There are almost no very barren areas in the Fire Nation.

Even the relatively poor southern part of the Fire Country is only economically underdeveloped. When it comes to the natural environment, it is rich in water and grass.

Therefore, where to choose a ninja village requires careful consideration.

However, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not, but one of the five reference locations finally selected by the clansmen seemed familiar to Hanzo.

In that basin in the semi-ringed mountain range, if Hokage Rocks were carved on the mountain wall, and then the vast forest was replaced by a ninja village...

Well, anyway, it looks familiar to you.

While Hanzo was lost in thought, Madara and Hashirama also picked up the map and began to read it carefully.

Regarding the location of Ninja Village, it involves safety, transportation, and many other aspects. Although Hanzo is confident in himself, he also wants to ask Madara and Hashirama what they think.

As the saying goes, if there are three cobblers, there is Zhuge Liang.

Not to mention Madara and Hashirama, they are both dragons among men.

Hashirama was criticized only for his overly moderate policies and overly idealistic ideas.

But when it comes to matters that don't involve people, Hashirama's proficiency is definitely no worse than Madara or Hanzo.

After a while, there was only a map left in front of the two of them.

"Hanzo, what do you think of this place?"

Hashirama pushed the map in his hand in front of Hanzo.

Hanzo came back to his senses and looked at the expression on Madara's face. It was obvious that the two of them had reached an agreement.

"Let me see……"

Hanzo said while straightening the map in front of him.

After taking a look, Hanzo was stunned.

"here it is……"

Looking at Hanzo's expression, Hashirama suddenly smiled and said: "I wonder if it's a coincidence that in this place on the map, Madara and I..."

As he said that, he glanced at Madara secretly and saw that the other party had no objection. Hashirama immediately put his heart in his stomach and continued: "About eight or nine years ago, when Madara and I didn't know each other's identities.

, the two of us used to get together here from time to time.

We had been to this place at that time, and we vowed together to build a war-free paradise here."

When Hashirama said this, he also smiled a little sheepishly.

Madara's eyes seemed to be a little evasive, and he looked a little uncomfortable.

After a slight pause, Hashirama continued: "To be honest, Hanzo, the places you chose have their own merits and are all very suitable as sites for the Ninja Village, but... let's just think of this as a little bit of selfishness between the two of us.

"

Seeing the hope in Hashirama's eyes, Hanzo didn't hesitate much and simply said: "No problem, this is it... I didn't say it, Hashirama, you said it too, these places actually have their own strengths, since

So, this is just a small matter, you can just tell me about it directly, there is no need to explain so much."

Listening to Hanzo's answer, Hashirama was overjoyed and said with a smile: "What you are saying is, Hanzo, I think too much."

"alright."

The matter was settled and it was getting late. Hanzo didn't want to say any more. He put away the map and said to the two of them: "You should go back and rest first. We will set off for the City of Fire early tomorrow morning."

"OK."

"no problem."

Hashirama and Madara also stood up, and then ninjas from the Shimada clan took them to their own residences.
