The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

"The second thing is about the representatives sent by the village to the Iron Kingdom..."

Before Hanzo could finish speaking, Uchiha Kazuya's eyes lit up.

You know, today's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is just a clay puppet within Konoha.

In addition to being responsible for some etiquette aspects of welcoming guests and sending them off, I have no involvement in other aspects.

The interrogation room of the real power agency under the department has its own system. As for diplomatic work, many matters need to be handled personally by the Hokage, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' right to speak is also very limited.

Because of this, Uchiha Kazuya is considered the "most leisurely" elder so far, and even his department does not have many people.

However, once the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can take over the daily work of the Five Shadows Conference into its own hands, the situation will be completely different.

If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs takes control of the work of the Five Kage Conference, then in the future, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have a great say in the exchange of interests between Konoha and its subordinates, including other great ninja villages.

In the future, the status of the elder in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, even if it cannot be compared with that of the Mission Department, will definitely not become a clay puppet.

However, although there are many benefits, it is not so easy for Uchiha Kazuya to take advantage of them all.

Although it is natural for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to control diplomatic affairs, there are also people at the top who have reasons to intervene in this area of ​​affairs - that is, Konoha's advisers and elders.

There are currently three advisory elders in Konoha, and it is impossible for Madara to oppose him. Hashirama has never cared about these things, but Kurama Solan is different.

This newly promoted consultant elder may not want to go further.

When the advisory elders were first established, their duties were to assist the Hokage in handling various government affairs in the village.

In other words, you can have a foot in everything.

Therefore, if an advisory elder is sent to oversee the affairs of the Five Shadows Conference, even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still required to participate, his power will be greatly reduced by Kazuya Uchiha.

Who would dislike having too much power in their hands?

"...The Five Shadows Conference is related to diplomatic work for at least the next few decades. Therefore, I hope that an elder can be responsible for this matter. Do you have any suggestions?" Hanzo said with a calm expression.

"Hokage-sama."

As soon as Hanzo finished speaking, Uchiha Kazuya couldn't wait to speak out: "Hokage-sama, this matter is a diplomatic matter, so naturally it should be the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

However, it is obvious that some people do not quite agree with his idea.

I saw Kurama Canglan saying calmly: "Elder Kazuya's remarks are a bit one-sided. The Five Shadows Conference involves all aspects of the village. Diplomacy alone is far from enough to cover it. In my opinion, it should be led by a

The advisory elders and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should jointly handle the matter."

After the two of them finished talking, the atmosphere in the whole meeting became weird.

The three Uchiha clan looked straight at Kurama Solan.

Uchiha Kazuya and Izuna were fine, but Madara's aura was pressing directly on Kurama Solan, which made her look a little pale.

Cold sweat gradually flowed down Kurama Canglan's skin.

Seeing that she could no longer hold on any longer, Hanzo couldn't help but sigh.

In a sense, Kurama Solan, who was promoted to the top by him, was actually a member of the Shimada clan.

However, when she jumped out at this moment, she did not get through to Hanzo.

"Forget it, I didn't intend to let the Uchiha clan monopolize the affairs of the Five Kage Conference anyway..." Hanzo thought to himself.

Even though his relationship with Madara has now eased, it still can't change the fact that the Uchiha clan used to take advantage of Hanzo's absence in the village to plot to seize power.

From the village's perspective, suppressing the Uchiha clan is still a strategy that must be implemented.

Including the mission department previously promised to the Senju clan, Hanzo has no intention of breaking his promise, but on the surface, Izuna has not done anything that violates Konoha's laws, so this will have to wait until the next election before the promise can be fulfilled.

"Everyone."

Just when Kurama Canglan couldn't help but was about to lower his head, Hanzo's voice suddenly came over.

In Kurama Canglan's ears, this calm voice was like the sound of nature, breaking Madara's lock on her aura.

The next second, she was breathing heavily like a drowning person who had just been rescued from the water.

And Hanzo didn't seem to notice her embarrassment.

"Let her learn a little lesson so that she won't have any evil thoughts again..." Hanzo thought in his heart, but continued: "Which consultant elder do you think is the most suitable to host the Five Shadows Conference together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

Affairs."

As soon as these words came out, other people's hearts suddenly moved.

What Hanzo meant was that he recognized that a consultant elder and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be responsible together. The three members of the Uchiha clan suddenly turned dark.

But at this point, there is no room for change. After all, Madara is also the advisory elder. If Madara takes this position, it will actually be the same for the Uchiha clan.

The three of them looked at each other without any trace and reached an agreement.

Madara said calmly: "Hanzo, I don't have anything to do now, so why not just let me do it..."

But this time, Kurama Canglan, who had regained her composure, was no longer afraid of Madara's power, and she had just been so embarrassed by Madara's fright, and now she was quite angry.

I heard her unceremonious retort: ​​"Elder Madara is the mainstay of the village, so he should focus on improving his strength. Why don't you leave these complicated matters to me?"

"you……"

Madara frowned, and even the Sharingan appeared in his eyes.

Obviously, in Madara's view, Kurama Canglan, who is far inferior to him in strength, is not qualified to bargain with him.

However, before Madara could say anything else, Hashirama on the side was smiling and trying to smooth things over.

"Okay, Madara, Elder Canglan is just talking about the matter, you don't need to be so aggressive." As he said that, a pair of dark eyes looked directly at Madara.

The atmosphere became tense again for a while.

After a while, Madara finally lowered his head first, and his pair of dark red Sharingan eyes gradually rotated and disappeared from his eyes.

And Hanzo also intervened at the right time: "In this case, let's stick to the old rules and vote to decide. Those who think Madara is suitable to be responsible for the affairs of the Five Shadows Conference will raise their hands."

As expected, apart from the three members of the Uchiha clan, only Hashirama hesitated and slowly raised his hand.

But it was useless, let alone four votes to six, the final result was already determined.

Taking a deep breath, Madara looked a little ugly, while Hanzo said with a smile: "That's it, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Elder Canglan will be responsible for the work of the Five Shadows Conference... I have already discussed it with Tie Zhi

General Kuniyamamoto has agreed to send representatives from Konoha to the Iron Kingdom within three days, so you can discuss and select a suitable candidate as soon as possible."

Now that the matter has come to this, even if the Uchiha clan is unwilling to give in, it is of no avail. Uchiha Kazuya can only stand up with Kurama Solan, salute Hanzo and say: "Yes, Hokage-sama."
