The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Two days passed quickly. In addition to Hanzo and the first Tsuchikage Ishikawa, the first Raikage Ai and the first Kazekage Reito also arrived one after another.

The first Mizukage, Arashi Minazuki, and his two bodyguards were the last to arrive in the Land of Iron.

"Mizukage-sama, thank you for your hard work." Outside the venue of the Five Kage Conference, General Yamamoto was leading several close samurai to greet Minazuki Arashi.

"These two are..." General Yamamoto asked.

"This is Asaki Tokaichi, and this is Motohisa Shimada." Minazuki Arashi introduced in a concise and comprehensive manner.

"Welcome you two." General Yamamoto also nodded slightly towards the two of them: "Please come with me and have a rest for the night. Lord Hokage, Lord Tsuchikage, Lord Kazekage and Lord Raikage have been waiting for a long time. Since the three of them have been waiting for a long time,

The position has arrived, so the Five Shadows Conference will be held tomorrow."

"I understand." Shuiwu Yuelan nodded.

General Yamamoto then said: "Then, three of you, please follow me."

…

"It seems that Motojiu did a good job, and he followed Minazuki Arashi."

Just as Yamamoto Shigekuni led Minazuki Arashi and others towards the resting place, Hanzo and Genji were chatting casually in Hanzo's room.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Hanzo had already sensed the familiar chakra of the Kirigakure three.

"I'm afraid Minazuki Arashi is also worried about Motohisa." Genji said, "With Motohisa's current strength and prestige in Kirigakure, no one below Minazuki Arashi can come close to him."

"That's true." Hanzo nodded in agreement.

"Well, brother, since Motojiu is here, can we start taking action?" Genji asked.

As Hanzo expected, in the past two days, the First Raikage also found an opportunity to visit Hanzo privately and revealed his intention to purchase the tailed beast.

Since people from several major ninja villages took the initiative to send money, Hanzo naturally had no reason to push the money out.

His original plan of distributing tailed beasts has been forgotten.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at Kirigakure's attitude first." Hanzo did not follow his younger brother's advice and said: "Now the Kumogakure and Iwagakure families are fighting. When Kirigakure also gets involved, they will be anxious too.

, which is more beneficial to us.”

Although both the Tsuchikage and the Raikage came to visit Hanzo in private, the Tsuchikage had always paid attention to Hanzo's situation and naturally noticed the Raikage's visit.

As for the Raikage... Hanzo hinted a little in his words, and he understood everything.

"That's true." Genji also smiled when he heard this, and the two brothers chatted while waiting to see if Minazuki Arashi would come to visit.

Minazuki Arashi's patience seemed to be worse than the two expected. Not long after, there was a knock on the door of Hanzo's room.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

"Who?" Hanzo and Genji looked at each other and then asked.

"It's me, Minazuki Arashi, I wonder if Hokage-sama has time now?"

Hanzo pretended to think for a moment, and then said: "Come in, Mizukage-sama."

The door was not locked. Minazuki Lan turned the door handle and opened the door.

"Hokage-sama, Genji-san, it's been a long time." Minazuki Lan had a faint smile on his face, as if Konoha's conspiracy against Kirigakure not long ago didn't even exist.

But in fact, Minazuki Arashi has no choice. The three tails have fallen into the hands of Konoha. Even if he breaks the paper window, it will not help. Instead, it will make Konoha angry and make the other three major ninja villages look down upon.

Kirigakure.

In this case, since everyone didn't openly confront each other at the time, we might as well just pretend that the incident didn't exist.

Hanzo also smiled lightly when he heard this and said: "Yes, it has been a year or two since we parted ways with the Kingdom of Water that day. I wonder if Lord Mizukage is here to visit today. What is the important matter?"

At this moment, Genji suddenly stood up and said to Hanzo: "Brother, you and Mr. Mizukage have something important to discuss, so I will leave first."

"That's fine." Hanzo nodded and said to Genji.

Seeing that Hanzo agreed, Genji bowed slightly to Minazuki Arashi and said, "Mizukage-sama, I'm leaving."

"Please." Shuiwu Yuelan also nodded.

With the sound of the door closing, Genji left the room.

Hanzo also looked straight at Minazuki Arashi and said: "Mizukage-sama, if you have anything to do, please tell me."

"Then let me tell you straight, Hokage-sama, I, Kirigakure, intend to purchase tailed beasts from Konoha. I wonder if Konoha has this intention?" Minazuki Lan directly showed his trump card.

"Buying a tailed beast?" Hanzo pretended to be surprised, raised his eyebrows, and then sighed: "This is a coincidence. Lord Tsuchikage and Lord Raikage also revealed this idea to me not long ago."

Hearing Hanzo's seemingly unintentional sigh, Minazuki Lan was immediately shocked.

Hanzo continued nonchalantly: "Mizukage-sama, although I have a lot of tailed beasts in Konoha, but you three ninja villages have to buy from me, Konoha, I'm afraid we may not be able to meet your needs.

"

Seeing this, Minazuki Arashi could only grit his teeth and said with a fake smile: "Hokage-sama, I promise you, as long as the three-tails and six-tails can be sold to us Kirigakure, we will definitely pay the highest price...

...Lord Hokage also knows that Kirigakure was the first to be established, and when it comes to wealth, we are the richest."

"Mizukage-sama, you can't say that." Listening to Minazuki Arashi's words, Hanzo was unmoved and just said calmly: "As of now, the three major ninja villages have purchased tailed beasts from Konoha, and Sunagakure

There is a tailed beast in itself, so this matter is no longer just a matter of money.

In this Five Kage Conference, we Konoha plan to establish a complete diplomatic system among the five major ninja villages to avoid the phenomenon of misfires. Now that you are asking me to buy tailed beasts, then we have to consider the five major ninja villages.

It’s a question of balance.”

After saying that, Hanzo took a deep look at Minazuki Lan and said, "So, Mizukage-sama, you understand."

Minazuki Lan was silent for a while.

Hanzo's words were high-sounding. He also admitted that Hanzo's statement had some truth, but he was also certain that Hanzo was refusing to let go. This might be partly due to this factor, but it was definitely not just that.

As for what the other party's fundamental purpose is, he doesn't know. Maybe it's for sale, or maybe it's for some other reason.

In Minazuki Arashi's eyes, it would be okay if Hanzo was just waiting for a price to sell.

At most, Kirigakure would have to pay a little more.

But if Hanzo has other purposes...

Especially when he thought about the Shimada family separation in Kirigakure Village, he felt an ominous premonition inexplicably.

"I hope it's not what I thought..." Minazuki Lan thought to herself.

Taking a deep breath, Minazuki Lan immediately stood up and said: "In this case, please think carefully about it, Hokage-sama, and I won't interrupt you for now."

"Mizukage-sama, please." Hanzo replied calmly.
