The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

After everyone from the Kingdom of Iron left, Madara took the lead to walk to a nearby room, while Hanzo and Genji looked at each other and walked towards the two rooms next to Madara.

But just as he reached the door, a voice suddenly came from the distance: "Hokage-sama."

Hanzo stopped moving his hands and turned to look to the side. A short man floating in the air was slowly flying towards Hanzo.

And the bamboo hat hanging on his waist undoubtedly showed his identity - the first Tsuchikage Ishikawa.

"Hokage-sama, can you talk to me?"

Hanzo looked at it intently, and after a moment, he slowly said: "Okay, Lord Tsuchikage, come in."

With that said, Hanzo turned the doorknob and opened the door.

Shihe also fell to the ground immediately.

But at this moment, Madara, who was about to walk into the house, suddenly snorted.

Ishikawa's footsteps suddenly stopped, he looked at Uchiha Madara next to him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Madara, what happened before was our Iwagakure's fault. I have already taught him a lesson. He will come and apologize to you in person soon.

"

Ishikawa's expression looked sincere, but after Madara finished listening, his face showed no expression. He just glanced at Ishikawa and walked into his room.

With a "bang", the door was closed.

"..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and the smile on Shi He's face was a little awkward, and a trace of undetectable anger flashed in his eyes.

From being a tycoon in the troubled times of the Earth Kingdom to becoming the first Tsuchikage of Iwagakure today, no one has dared to treat him like this.

However, thinking of the terrifying strength of Konoha and Uchiha Madara himself, Ishikawa still tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

At the same time, Hanzo next to him also spoke up to smooth things over: "Lord Tsuchikage, Madara is such a personality, so don't take it too seriously."

Tsuchikage forced a smile out of the corner of his mouth and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."

Hanzo didn't bother to care whether the Tsuchikage really didn't care or pretended not to care. He walked directly into the house, turned to Ishikawa and said, "Come in and sit down, Tsuchikage-sama."

Shi He seemed to have calmed down at this time, and walked in with a calm expression.

Hanzo closed the door and then observed the layout of the room.

It has to be said that the room that looks ordinary on the outside is quite spacious inside and the decoration is quite luxurious. Considering that this is the venue of the Five Shadows Conference, it was the Iron Country that received the notice from the five major countries.

Built temporarily and urgently.

To be able to achieve this step, Iron Kingdom can be considered as the best it can do within the limited time.

"Tsuchikage-sama, if you have anything to do, please tell me." Hanzo sat on the sofa and looked at Ishikawa behind him.

Shihe also casually pulled up a chair and sat down, and said to Hanzo: "Hokage-sama, I won't go around in circles with you. I heard from your village's envoy that you now have eight tailed beasts in your hand. This is true.

?”

Hanzo nodded and said casually: "Of course it's true."

Hearing this, Ishikawa hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said somewhat mysteriously: "I wonder if Konoha...can you sell one or two tailed beasts to me, Iwagakure? The price is easy to negotiate.

Of course, our main purpose is to resist the threat from Sunagakure. You don’t know that since Sunagakure had a tail, he often used it to threaten us Iwagakure, which has already posed a great threat to our safety, so..."

While talking, Shihe carefully observed Hanzo's expression, trying to see any clues on his face.

But it's a pity that Hanzo still maintains a standard Sima face.

Looking at the silent Hanzo, Ishikawa's heart gradually became anxious.

Iwagakure wants to buy tailed beasts, and resisting the threat of Sunagakure is only one aspect. More importantly, Iwagakure wants to have a sense of security when facing Konoha.

In fact, Iwakaku's current financial situation is not optimistic. The only thing that is relatively rich in the Earth Kingdom is the many mineral deposits buried in the mountains.

In order to raise money to purchase the tailed beast, Iwagakure has secretly contacted many miners. Once Iwagakure and Konoha reach an agreement, they will sell the mining rights of these mineral deposits to these businessmen to raise funds.

Selling mining rights is a completely loss-making transaction for Iwagakure.

For the sake of the tailed beast, they were determined.

But if Hanzo doesn't relent, all the preparations Iwagakure have made will be in vain. Not only that, they will continue to face military threats from Konoha and Sunagakure, and Ishikawa is also under great pressure now.

However, unlike Shi He's uneasiness, Hanzo felt a little bit dumbfounded at this moment.

Senju Takeoka had originally proposed that Konoha sell tailed beasts to the four major ninja villages in exchange for funds.

It was Hanzo who personally vetoed Senju Takeen's proposal.

Because in his opinion, purchasing a tailed beast requires a large amount of cash, which is really difficult for the newly established Ninja Village.

However, he underestimated the sense of urgency in the hearts of the three great ninja villages without tailed beasts.

Especially Iwagakure, facing both Konoha and Sandgakure at the same time, has a full sense of crisis.

After the absurd feeling passed, Hanzo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Lord Tsuchikage, this involves a lot of things. I need to discuss it with my people in Konoha, and I will give you an answer later."

Hearing Hanzo's reply, Shihe was a little disappointed, but at the same time he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Hanzo did not directly agree to him, fortunately Konoha still chose to think about it. In other words, the sale of the tailed beasts was negotiable to Konoha.

After thinking about this clearly, Shi He felt a little more at ease and said with a smile: "Then please, Hokage-sama, give me an answer as soon as possible."

"This is natural." Hanzo nodded.

Hearing this, the Tsuchikage immediately stood up and said, "Hokage-sama has come a long way and must be tired, so I won't disturb Hokage-sama's rest."

"Please." Hanzo made a casual gesture.

Shi He then turned around and left the room.

With a "bang", the door to the room was closed.

Hanzo felt the Tsuchikage's chakra gradually disappearing, and his mind was spinning a thousand times.

From Iwagakure's attitude, he could also roughly feel the attitudes of Kumogakure and Kirigakure, two ninja villages who also did not have tailed beasts.

In this case, the tailed beast in Konoha's hands is an extremely important weight.

In this Five Kage Conference, in addition to establishing the diplomatic system of the five great ninja villages, Hanzo also has another important purpose, which is to build momentum for Motohisa. He wants to make Motohisa the unshakable next Mizukage of Kirigakure.

Only in this way can he take a two-pronged approach from both political and economic perspectives in the future and try to use Kirigakure as a puppet without a single blow.

And how can he, a Hokage, build momentum for Motohisa? In Hanzo's plan, the key is to use the tailed beasts.

This is destined to mean that before he achieves his goal, no matter who comes, he will not be able to relax at all.

While thinking about it, the plan in Hanzo's mind was gradually outlined.
