The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

When Kaguya Qingyan heard the first half of Hanzo's words, his whole heart went cold.

"Since Hokage-sama is unwilling to help me Kirigakure..." Kaguya Qingyan's voice was trembling.

However, before he could say anything, he realized what Hanzo said in the last half of his sentence.

"Hokage-sama, do you have any other ideas?" Kaguya Qingyan said excitedly.

Hanzo's expression was indifferent and he said in a calm voice: "I said, if you Kirigakure can't win over you in Yu no Kuni, then I won't help you, but I have another option here...

…”

Hanzo's originally erratic gaze suddenly moved to Kaguya Qingyan in front of him, and then said: "I can allow Kirigakure to share interests with Konoha in the Kawakuni, Taki, Tian, ​​and Tea countries."

"Sharing interests? Is there such an operation?"

Kaguya Qingyan was stunned.

He had long heard that the first Hokage of Konoha had a lot of wild ideas in his mind and a lot of saucy tricks. Many of the ideas at the Five Shadows Conference were first adopted by the Hokage.

Unexpectedly, today when he was on a mission to Konoha, the Hokage would come up with a new trick.

At this time, Kaguya Qingyan also gradually calmed down. After thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "I wonder how much benefits I, Kirigakure, can enjoy in Shikoku? What other additional conditions does Konoha have?"

To be honest, the conditions given by Konoha are very sincere.

Konoha currently holds the suzerainty of four small countries, including the country of Taki, the country of Kawa, and the country of Tian, ​​which are coveted by everyone. Not to mention more, as long as Kirigakure can enjoy 30 to 40% of the benefits, it is enough.

Kirigakure's mouth was full of oil after eating, at least as good as Kumogakure who held the Kingdom of the Moon and the Kingdom of Yu.

But Kaguya Aoiyan also knows very well that there is no free lunch in the world, and Konoha is not a charity.

Since the Hokage transferred part of the benefits to Kirigakure, Kirigakure must make up for it from other places.

However, Kaguya Aoigan has no dissatisfaction. The so-called exchange of interests is like this. The core interests of both parties are different. Things that are important to Konoha may not be important to Kirigakure.

Hearing Kaguya Qingyan's question, Hanzo leaned forward slightly, propped his elbows on the table, and rested his chin on his hands, saying: "We can transfer 30% of the benefits to Kirigakure, but as a price, Konoha wants to make peace with Kirigakure."

Sign a treaty..."

"Treaty?" Kaguya Qingyan emphasized.

"That's right." Hanzo sat up straight, then took out a piece of paper from the drawer, threw it to Kaguya Qingyan, and said: "It's not early today. The envoy can go back and take a closer look. There's no need to worry. Tomorrow morning

Just give me a specific answer before."

After saying that, Hanzo also stood up.

Hearing this, Kaguya Qingyan also remembered that it was already late, so he quickly stood up and apologized: "I'm sorry for disturbing Hokage-sama so late. Please don't mind, Hokage-sama."

Hanzo waved his hand indifferently and said, "Let's go."

With that said, he and Kaguya Qingyan walked out of the Hokage's office.

…

After sending Kaguya Aoiyan to the embassy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hanzo turned around and prepared to walk towards the Shimada clan's clan.

But after walking two steps, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Hanzo didn't show any surprise on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "You are finally willing to let it go."

After taking a closer look, the person coming was Shimada Shunichi, the elder of the Shimada clan who had stayed in Konoha with Motohisa.

When it comes to negotiating with Konoha, Motohisa certainly cannot rest assured that only members of the Kaguya clan will be responsible.

Therefore, on the surface only Kaguya Aogan hurried to Konoha, but secretly, Shimada Shunichi has been following Kaguya Aogan.

The reason for this arrangement was also to avoid suspicion. Motohisa was about to become the second generation Mizukage, so he always wanted to avoid any rumors that could lead to foreign countries.

While Shimada Shunichi could hide it from Kaguya Aoiyan, it was impossible to hide it from Hanzo's perception. Instead, Hanzo secretly hinted his shadow guard with a coded signal and provided cover for Shimada Shunichi, otherwise Konoha's ANBU would have been dispatched long ago.

"Patriarch, it's been a long time." Shimada Junichi looked a little excited.

Before the Shimada branch was established, Shimada Shunichi was the twelfth elder of the Shimada clan. He belonged to the younger generation of Jonin and was only a few years older than Hanzo.

And their group of family jounin are also the jounin who admire Hanzo the most.

Hanzo couldn't help laughing when he looked at him, and teased: "You are already in a high position in Kirigakure. It would be bad for others to see you so excited to see the Hokage."

Shimada Junichi didn't care at all: "There's no one else here, not to mention that I'm not just meeting the Hokage, but also my clan leader."

In Shimada Shunichi's mind, although he now works for Kirigakure Village, how long has Kirigakure been established? How long has he lived in the Shimada clan?

Therefore, Mizukage's authority in his heart could not match that of Motohisa, let alone Hanzo.

Hanzo, the leader of the village clan that has been implemented in Konoha for so long, and the Hyuga clan dared to try it themselves. Minazuki Arashi did not have this awareness, and the situation on Kirigakure's side was naturally more unbearable.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Is there anything else Motojiu wants you to bring to me?" Hanzo said to Shimada Shunichi.

Shimada Junichi shook his head and said: "It's okay. Lord Motojiu said that as long as the clan leader doesn't be too explicit, it will be fine. Kumo Gakure can help if he can, and if he can't help, that's all."

Hanzo felt relieved when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of the little boy who knelt in front of him and his mother when he first met Motojiu, praying to become his guardian.

"It seems that I have a villainous heart..." Hanzo thought secretly.

He was really a little worried that after Motojiu became the master of Kirigakure, he would be in trouble with Konoha.

But now it seems that the blood ties of the family are still very strong. At least within one or two generations, his relationship with Yuan Jiu will become an important basis for the exchanges between the two villages.

Thinking of this, Hanzo felt happy, and he asked Shimada Shun again: "How is the separation of the families?"

Hearing Hanzo's words, Shimada Junichi chuckled and said: "This period has been much better. When Motohisa-sama was targeted by Minazuki Arashi, the family sent many children to prevent accidents.

In the city of water, please protect me, Lord Daimyo."

Speaking of this, Shimada Shunichi was also a little angry, saying: "That Minazuki Arashi is really ungrateful. If the clan leader and the old clan leader hadn't helped him, how would he have had the chance to become the Mizukage?"

With that said, Shimada Shunichi began to talk endlessly about Minazuki Arashi's "crime".

"I didn't expect that the clan members of the branch family would be so resentful towards Kirigakure..." Hanzo listened to Shimada Shunichi's accusations and walked towards the clan's territory.
