The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

The short lunch break passed quickly, and in the afternoon, Hanzo and the other four shadows came to the hall of the Five Shadows Conference one after another.

"Everyone, I wonder how you have considered the suggestion I made this morning?" Hanzo was the first to ask after Yamamoto Shigekuni finished his usual polite remarks.

However, when faced with Hanzo's question, the four shadows looked at each other in confusion. Finally, the Kazekage came forward and said: "Hokage-sama, your statement makes sense, but this matter is important and I cannot make such a hasty decision. Why don't we discuss it first?"

Let’s ask other questions.”

"..."

To be honest, Feng Ying's words sounded mixed to Hanzo's ears.

Theoretically speaking, such major decisions that determine the future development direction of the village do need to be discussed and decided with the elders and even the jounin in the village.

But as the first generation of each village, if they really make up their minds, they are not unable to make a decision on the spot.

In other words, Siying still had a doubtful attitude in his heart.

But as the saying goes, forceful melons are not sweet. This kind of thing depends on one's own free will.

If the four major ninja villages do not accept it voluntarily and fully support it, then Hanzo would have no point in forcing them to sign a treaty by pressing their heads.

Hanzo could also guess some of the thoughts of the four people. It was just because he had not seen the capabilities of technology that he was hesitant to believe them.

Since they haven't seen it before, let them see it.

Not to mention the fertilizer they have already obtained, if Konoha develops significantly in the future, without Hanzo having to say much, they will be the first to follow up.

However... if they react too slowly in the future, the conditions in Konoha will be completely different by then.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Hanzo immediately concealed his expression and said with a smile: "...Of course, let's discuss other things first."

As soon as Hanzo finished speaking, the first Mizukage Minazuki Arashi was the first to laugh: "Hokage-sama, yesterday I asked Konoha to buy tailed beasts. I don't know what Hokage-sama is thinking about..."

As soon as these words came out, Raikage, Tsuchikage and even Kazekage became energetic instantly.

Although Hanzo's words are very confusing and thought-provoking,... after all, they are things in the future.

In the opinion of Mizukage and others, obvious results may not be seen even within ten or twenty years.

As the shadow of a village, we need to look up at the stars and focus on the future, but we must not ignore what is happening before us.

Hanzo knew that continuing to push forward the plan against Kirigakure would insure the future of the village, so how could other ninja villages give up their attempts against the tailed beasts?

In the past, everyone was dealing in private, and Hanzo could continue to drag it out, but now, Minaduki Arashi has exposed the matter at the Five Kage Conference, and it can no longer be covered up. If Hanzo continues to shirk the blame, it will be tantamount to

Announced to the four major ninja villages that Konoha planned to monopolize the eight tailed beasts.

That way, let alone promoting his own ideas, I am afraid that the Five Shadows Conference will also come to nothing, and Konoha will be forced to adopt Madara's strategy, which is what Hanzo does not want to see.

As expected, as soon as Mizukage finished speaking, Tsuchikage hurriedly followed up: "Yes, Hokage-sama, I, Iwagakure, am also sincere."

"The same is true for Yunyin..."

Only Feng Ying's face looked a little hesitant.

To be honest, he didn't want to spend money to buy tailed beasts from Konoha. Sunagakure was not financially wealthy now, and he didn't have many precious mineral veins to sell like Iwagakure.

In fact, in the original time and space, Sunagakure's financial problems have been plaguing this shinobi village.

It wasn't until three generations and four generations came to power one after another, and the two generations of Kazekage, who mastered sand iron and sand gold ninjutsu, relied on the blood succession limit to alleviate Sunagakure's financial problems to a certain extent.

In addition to financial factors, strategic factors are also a major reason.

Sunagakure can now vaguely hold the status of the largest ninja village below Konoha because of the one tail in Sunagakure's hands.

And now, once every shinobi village has a tailed beast in their hands, who will be able to protect Toriyasa Gakure?

At least Iwagakure next door will no longer give in to Sunagakure in small countries such as the Land of Rain and the Land of Bears.

However, that's what he said, but...looking at the expressions of the three village chiefs, Liedou knew that he couldn't stop this.

There is only one person who can stop this, and that is Naruto.

But Hanzo obviously doesn't have this intention. If this is the case, then it is a foregone conclusion that the three major ninja villages will obtain tailed beasts.

Thinking of this, Lie Dou began to think in his mind: "I, Sunagakure, also want to buy a tailed beast..."

Judging from the Tsuchikage, Mizukage and Raikage's intentions, they obviously didn't just want to buy a tailed beast.

If this is the case, Sunagakure will be at a disadvantage when it comes to tailed beasts in the future.

Thinking of this, Liedou began to calculate the village's funds again.

However, after many calculations, the funds that the village can allocate are extremely limited.

"I don't know how much Konoha plans to sell this tailed beast for..."

Just when Lie Dou had this thought in his mind, Minazuki Lan next to him suddenly said loudly: "I, Kirigakure, am willing to spend four billion taels to buy the three tails!"

Kazekage was immediately startled by Mizukage's words.

"Four billion, is this Minazuki Arashi crazy?" Lieto's face looked a little ugly. He didn't know how Kirigakure came up with this money, but he knew that Sunagakure could never afford it.

"Bang!" Reito was not the only one who felt unhappy because of Minazuki Arashi's words. The first Raikage Ai also punched the table in anger.

"Mizukage! Don't bully me too much! Do you think I, Kumogakure, can't afford the money?" Raikage's angry voice echoed in the auditorium.

Yes, Kumogakure and Kirigakure are at odds over the Three-Tails.

There is no way, as two countries facing each other across the sea, whoever has the three tails in hand will take the strategic initiative.

Of course, theoretically speaking, as an island nation, Kirigakure's demand for three-tails will be higher, but do you expect Kumogakure and this group of war madmen to back down? No way.

So the two sides successfully negotiated this issue.

As for the four billion taels, it seems that it is only the price of a hundred or so Asma, but in fact, the money now and the money more than sixty years later are two different concepts. How much is the tailed beast worth? In everyone's mind

There are steel scales, and the price actually exceeds the value of the tailed beast.

When the Tsuchikage next to him saw this, he was also as big as one.

If the Mizukage and Raikage are really allowed to bid, Konoha will take the opportunity to raise the price and give them a huge profit at some point.

If you don't make money, you are a fool. Tsuchikage asked himself, if it were Hanzo, he would be sorry for himself if he didn't take the opportunity to kill them.

But at this moment, Tsuchikage suddenly had an idea: "That's it..."

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Shi He immediately smoothed things over: "You two, please listen to me."

The Raikage and Mizukage, who were glaring at each other, immediately looked at the Tsuchikage.

I saw the Tsuchikage saying with a smile: "Since you two can't compete, in order to avoid hurting your harmony, how about solving it in a ninja way?"
