The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

As Konoha chose to sit on the sidelines of the dispute between Kirigakure and Kumogakure, Kirigakure's situation in Yuno Country also worsened day by day.

After struggling for more than half a month, Kirigakure's forces decided to make a desperate move, and a proxy war broke out with Kumogakure in the country of Yu.

Many Kirigakure ninjas and Kumogakure ninjas put on the vests of the internal forces of the Kingdom of Yu and began to fight.

After four or five days of fierce fighting, the Kirigakure ninjas were defeated and retreated. After surviving for a few days, Kirigakure's forces were finally expelled from Yu no Kuni by Kumogakure.

After the first generation Mizukage, Minazuki Arashi, experienced many failures, his authority within Kirigakure was gone. Finally, Minazuki Arashi resigned due to his old age.

The successor to the second Mizukage is the long-awaited elder Motohisa Shimada.

After Kirigakure withdrew from the Country of Yu, Kumogakure took this opportunity to cleanse the pro-Kirigakure forces in the Country of Yu, and then completely controlled the Country of Yu.

Kirigakure began active negotiations with Konoha. After many negotiations, Konoha and Kirigakure secretly signed the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance.

Just when all parties in the ninja world thought that the dignified Kirigakure would gain nothing from this carving up feast, Konoha and Kirigakure suddenly issued a joint statement.

The other aspects in the statement are not that important, but the key point is that Kirigakure will enjoy 30% of the interests in Konoha's vassal country.

This simply made the three major ninja villages dumbfounded, and many other melon-eating people were also dumbfounded.

Sunagakure and Iwagakure were almost losing their minds for the small countries between the two countries. Kumogakure also made a lot of sacrifices before eating the country of Tang and Moon.

Kirigakure, as a loser, actually easily obtained benefits that were no less than theirs?

After receiving the news, Raikage looked at the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Moon on the map, and suddenly felt bad.

But whether it's sweet or not, things are already like this. Whoever Konoha is willing to share the benefits with is Konoha's business. It's not the turn of Kumogakure and other Ninja Village to intervene.

Moreover, they could also guess that Kirigakure was able to get food from Konoha's mouth, and the price he paid must be quite high. Just look at the demilitarized zone between the two countries, which can be seen.

Thinking this way, everyone felt much better.

"At least I don't have to pay anything else..." The three shadows comforted themselves.

But no matter what, Kirigakure managed to save his reputation as a great ninja village, but without his younger brother to help him, it would be difficult for Kirigakure to act independently in the Five Kage Conference.

After the dust settled on the battle between Kumogakure and Kirigakure, the battle between Sunagakure and Iwagakure also entered its final moments.

After a fierce battle, Iwagakure took over the Country of Grass and the Country of Rain, while the Country of Bears and Birds were brought under the control of Sunagakure.

In terms of economic gains, the gains between the two countries are almost the same, but Iwagakure, which occupies the Land of Rain, has gained a strategic advantage over Sunagakure.

Because although the borders between Bird Country and Bear Country and Iwagakure are long, these places are surrounded by mountains and have complex terrain.

This is destined to make it difficult for Sunagakure to use the Country of Bears and Birds as a springboard to threaten Iwagakure. After all, as a local snake, Iwagakure can easily defend himself.

The road from the Rain Country to the Earth Country is the only smooth road to the heart of the Earth Country.

Therefore, for Iwagakure, as long as he takes over the Land of Rain, unless his opponent is as strong as Konoha and cannot resist it, Iwagakure's homeland will be completely impregnable.

At the same time, after taking control of the Country of Rain, Iwagakure directly threatened the fertile land newly obtained by Sunagakure from the Country of Kawakawa, and this territory was not far from Konoha.

This fertile land of Sunagakure has become the de facto place of the Four Wars.

In this regard, the senior officials of Sunagakure are naturally a little unwilling to accept it, but the situation has been decided. If Sunagakure wants to provoke a dispute again, it will not be as simple as a small fight.

After much hesitation, given that the current situation in the ninja world was relatively stable, the first Kazekage Reito finally gave up the adventurous plan.

Of course, there is actually a small country called Ghost Country next to the two countries, but both Sunagakure and Iwagakure have a tacit understanding not to touch this country.

The two major ninja villages have also heard about the monster under the care of the miko of the Demon Country. Being the boss can certainly reap the benefits, but if the younger brother is in trouble, they have to help the younger brother to deal with it.

The Ghost Country is different from other small countries, the Kazekage and Tsuchikage don't want to cause trouble.

As a result, in addition to the country of ghosts, many small countries in the ninja world were divided up by the five major ninja villages. For a while, everyone was full of food.

After that, under the control of the five major ninja villages, these small countries also began to establish their own ninja villages.

In a short period of time, small ninja villages sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, including Kusanagi, Taki ninja, Kawanin, Oto ninja, Tang ninja and so on.

The representatives of the five major ninja villages who had been chatting and wrangling in the Kingdom of Iron also quickly started substantive negotiations. The "ninja village inspection team" composed of people from the five major ninja villages was also formally established and began to set out to inspect the specific conditions of each village.

After nearly a month of inspection, the regulations on the number of ninjas including the five major ninja villages have also begun to be newly released.

The specific provisions are as follows:

In Konoha, the number of active ninjas cannot exceed 15,000.

In Sunagakure, the number of active ninjas cannot exceed 8,000.

In Iwagakure, the number of active ninjas cannot exceed 8,500.

Kumogakure, the number of active ninjas must not exceed 10,000.

In Kirigakure, the number of active ninjas cannot exceed 8,000.

Generally speaking, each village has set its own number of ninjas based on the "one-fifth standard" originally proposed by Hanzo. Although there are slight fluctuations in the specific ninja villages, the difference is not big.

Konoha has made some sacrifices, and the overall ratio is slightly less than one-fifth, while the other four major ninja villages have experienced a certain degree of improvement, with Kumogakure having the highest degree of improvement.

This is also what the Raikage of Kumogakure Village strongly requested.

However, considering that Kumogakure's only neighboring countries were Kirigakure and Konoha, and now there were faint signs of a merger between the two parties, after many discussions, Kumogakure's proposal was finally approved.

After the five major ninja villages reached an agreement, the Five Kage Conference was quickly established. The representatives of the five major ninja villages in the Iron Kingdom also quickly released the already discussed "Five Kage Conference Charter", which formally established the founding of the five major ninja villages in a clear form.

Status and Privileges of Membership.

Subsequently, the small ninja villages under the control of the five major ninja villages also began to rush to submit membership requests. Naturally, the representatives of the Five Kage Conference had no reason to veto.

So, half a month later, all the ninja villages in the entire ninja world were included in the Five Kage Conference system.

As for those guys who drifted away after becoming the leaders of the Ninja Village and tried to escape from the Great Ninja Village above them, they were all easily dealt with by the five Great Ninja Villages.

At this point, the ninja world entered a new era.
