The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

To be honest, Hanzo didn't come up with this idea out of the blue, but it was based on some basis.

In the original time and space, at the Five Kage Conference held by the five great ninja villages in response to the Akatsuki organization, the third generation Tsuchikage Two Scales Onoki, who represented Iwagakure Village at the Five Kage Conference at that time, responded to the accusations of the fourth generation Raikage: "

In peacetime, only Kumogakure Village continues to expand its military force, which makes other ninja villages have to rely on the power of Akatsuki as a mercenary."

In fact, unlimited expansion of military equipment will cause the village's finances to fail to make ends meet. In the end, in order to shift the conflict, the only way out is to break out a war.

In short, if Uchiha Obito had not declared war on the five major ninja villages at that time, I am afraid that it would not be long before Kumogakure Village would also provoke a new round of ninja war.

What Hanzo has to do now is to forcefully shift the Ninja Village's energy from expanding its armaments to developing it.

For this reason, it is necessary to limit the number of ninjas.

And under this restriction, as the shinobi village with the largest population and the best financial situation, Konoha will also have the advantage in conventional force.

In addition, Hanzo also left a loophole for Konoha.

This treaty restricts the five major ninja villages, but Konoha also has a younger brother from the country of Uzumaki.

In the future, when the need arises, the best option is to let the overpopulated ninjas in the village wear vests from the Kingdom of Whirlpool. Once the war breaks out, they can just take off the vests. This way, they can avoid the infamy of breaking the agreement.

Of course, these are all back-up preparations, and Konoha doesn't need these tricks for the time being.

After listening to Hanzo's words, the four shadows fell into silence.

Restricting the scope of ninja activities was a small matter, and even Konoha suffered a loss.

After all, no one has the courage to go to the Land of Fire to cause trouble. The key lies in the second requirement.

We are all smart people, so we can naturally see that this is a bundled sale by Hanzo.

Once they accepted the request for military restrictions, each ninja village was equivalent to passively accepting the "development concept" proposed by Hanzo.

but……

"This seems to be good?" Feng Ying thought secretly in his heart: "Anyway, the current situation does not have room for a war to break out. Besides, what the Hokage said is somewhat reasonable..."

Feng Ying pondered over and over in his mind.

The Raikage said in a low voice: "Lord Hokage, once the limit on the number of ninjas is set, can't it be changed?"

Hanzo shook his head when he heard this and said: "Of course not, we are a ninja village after all. Once the population increases, the number of children with the potential to become ninjas in the village will inevitably increase. Therefore, the upper limit of the number of ninjas will also be based on the actual situation.

Make adjustments.”

"Then how should it be adjusted and who will be in charge?" Raikage continued to ask.

Hanzo suddenly smiled: "This involves the second thing I want to say... I hope that the Five Shadows Conference will become a permanent meeting, and it will be held every few years, and the Five Shadows will discuss and solve some problems.

If any of the ninja villages intends to change the upper limit of the number of ninjas, they can also propose it at the meeting, and the five major ninja villages will still send one person from each of the five ninja villages to form an inspection team to inspect the population and financial situation of the ninja village. If certain requirements are met, changes can be made."

Standing meeting?

At this time, Yamamoto Shigekuni, the general of the Iron Kingdom who had been watching the show, also became energetic.

If the Kingdom of Iron could become the station of the Five Shadows Conference...

Yamamoto Shigekuni's heart became hot.

However, he also knew that he had no say in this matter, and it could only be discussed and decided by the Five Shadows.

But he had a new decision in his heart.

"I have to ask the people below to serve more carefully..." Yamamoto Shigekuni thought in his mind.

Shikage didn't know what Yamamoto Shigekuni was thinking.

But they knew that once the Five Kage Conference became a permanent meeting, it would be unceremonious to say that this meeting would become the focus of future games among the five ninja villages.

In addition to military methods, the battle between the five major ninja villages will also have a political approach, which will greatly reduce the possibility of war breaking out.

This is also Hanzo's political layout in the diplomatic system.

Looking at the four shadows in thought, Hanzo continued: "Since the Five Shadows Conference has become a permanent meeting, the meeting must become formal. For example, at least the meeting must have a chairman, and the five major ninja villages need to send representatives to serve as concluding meetings.

Agents during the period, including other small countries, can also join and attend the meeting if a Ninja Village is established, but as the founders of our five major Ninja Villages, we will also have some special powers..."

Well, if any time-travelers see this scene, they will understand that this is not the five major streams of the United Nations Security Council in the real world... cough, the permanent members?

To those who have traveled through time, this may not be a big deal, but to Siying, who has never seen anything like this before, this is a bit of a novelty.

"Hokage-sama, may I ask what the special power is?" Tsuchikage couldn't help but ask.

Ishikawa had no doubts about whether the neighboring small countries would establish ninja villages.

At least according to the information from Earth Kingdom, the ninja clans living in many small countries such as Rain Country, Tang Country, and Taki Country have some intentions to jointly build villages.

There is no way, the five major countries are like the five brightest lights in the ninja world.

The surrounding small countries will subconsciously be like the five major countries in many aspects.

If the five major ninja villages don't stop it, these small countries will have their own ninja villages sooner or later.

Hearing Tsuchikage's question, Hanzo said indifferently: "For example, the veto power on the issues at the meeting, the power of sanctions, etc... These can be discussed in detail by professionals later, we are just deciding for the time being.

A framework…”

Although Hanzo's words were a bit vague, the four shadows' eyes lit up.

From this point of view, wouldn't the five great ninja villages be able to use the Five Shadows Conference to exploit those small countries wantonly? They even gave their exploitative behavior a layer of legality. If their actions were more concealed, those small countries might not

You can see they are being exploited.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other with much friendly eyes. After all, if this plan is completed, the five major ninja villages will have common interests, and many things can be discussed.

Looking at the excited four figures, the corner of Hanzo's mouth curled up a little.

He is not a saint either. Hanzo once said in his previous life that there is no such thing as quiet time, it’s just that someone is carrying the burden for you.

In order for our own villagers to live in peace and quiet, we have no choice but to humiliate these small countries and carry the burden forward.

Moreover, this is not without benefits for them. After all, once the five major countries go to war, the small countries that are used as battlefields will be the real hell on earth.

According to Hanzo's plan, the possibility of these countries becoming battlefields becomes very small.
