The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 261

Two days passed in a flash.

In the early morning of the third day, Hanzo arrived at the Fire City together with Chung Nian and the Great Elder.

Because he came to attend the funeral this time, and incidentally deal with matters between the Daming Prefecture and the Shimada clan, Hanzo did not intend to bring the head of state, but instead brought the great elder.

As for Chunnen, when he was in command of the Shimada Clan, he had a lot of dealings with the boss of the Fire Country.

Although the two don't know each other very well, they still have some kind of friendship.

This time, the boss passed away, and Chong Nian also offered to come to the Fire City with Hanzo to send the boss off.

Of course, he came here simply to attend the funeral, and the other matters were still handled by Hanzo and the Great Elder.

Officials from the Land of Fire, who had already received orders from the daimyo and the elder, had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time.

Seeing the arrival of the three Hanzos, several officials greeted them immediately.

"Patriarch Banzang, Your Excellency, Mr. Chongnian." Several Fire Nation officials bowed to the three of them.

"Several please come."

Hanzo waved his hand towards them: "I wonder when Lord Xinyin's funeral will start?"

Xin Yin is the real name of the boss.

Now that Zongquan has taken over the daimyo's position, naturally he can no longer call the former daimyo by his daimyo.

"The three please follow me first."

Several officials looked at each other, and then one of them said to Hanzo and the others.

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the Daming Mansion.

Hanzo, Zhongnian and the Great Elder followed immediately.

As for the remaining few officials, they continued to wait at the gate of the Fire City, presumably waiting for Hashirama and Madara.

After entering the city, Hanzo realized that the Fire City at this time was different from the past.

Today, in the city of fire, although every family can't be called a filial piety, the color of the whole city seems to have changed to black and white.

As far as the eye can see, that's all there is to it.

The shops on both sides of the street, and the signs with festive colors, were all covered with black or white cloth.

Occasionally there are different ones, and they are all dominated by cool colors. In the whole city, warm colors such as gold and red seem to disappear overnight.

As for the citizens in the city, they all came and went in a hurry, and all the bold conversations and hawking in the past disappeared.

All in all, one word to describe the atmosphere in the Fire City at this time is depression.

Even the dazzling sunlight could not dispel this oppressive atmosphere, and even Hanzo gradually lost interest in observing the surroundings and withdrew his gaze.

Not long after, the three of Hanzo followed the official to the Daming Mansion, where the elder Takamitsu was standing outside the Daming Mansion.

Seeing Hanzo, the elder's eyes lit up, and Dang even came up to meet him.

"The Banzang patriarch... and Mr. Chongnian, long time no see."

Because the boss Da Ming had just passed away, there was no smile on Da Lao's face, but from his expression, it could be seen that Da Lao was in a good mood at this time.

After a few pleasantries, the old man said, "Guys, let me take you to your resting place first."

There was nothing wrong with Hanzo and the others, and then the four of them walked towards the Daming Mansion together.

The elder took Hanzo and the three to the guest room of the Daming Mansion.

There is no ordinary person who can come to Daming Mansion as a guest.

Therefore, the guest room facilities in Damingfu can be described as extravagant.

It is said to be a guest room, but it is actually a small courtyard.

Not to mention Hanzo and the three of them, even a dozen people can live more than enough.

At the gate of the courtyard, there were six servants standing there.

The servants bowed slightly, squinting at the ground under their feet, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing look.

Standing still at the gate of the courtyard, the old man said: "Several people, you can rest here first, and these waiters can order whatever you want. We will send someone to deliver lunch here, and wait until the afternoon, when the funeral formally begins." , and someone will come to inform you.”

The eldest brother is also busy with affairs now, and it is impossible to stay here with Hanzo and others all the time. It is already very polite to be able to take the initiative to act as a guide for a while.

Hanzo came here to attend the funeral, so naturally he wouldn't find any faults, so he said, "Boss, please go ahead and leave us alone."

The old man immediately said: "Then thank you for your understanding. After the guests from the Senshou Clan and Uchiha Clan come, they will stay in the two rooms next to them."

The old man stretched out his finger and pointed to the two courtyards next door, and said, "You guys can chat as you like."

Hanzang heard the words, nodded towards the elder, and said, "We know."

The elder nodded slightly, and then left the courtyard straight away.

After the old man left, the three of them also walked towards the main house in the courtyard. While walking, Chong Nian also sighed a little: "This courtyard of Daming Mansion... I have been here several times. The last time, it was ten times. It happened a few years ago, I didn't expect that this time I came to attend the funeral of that daimyo."

Seeing this, Hanzang couldn't help correcting him: "Father, you should change your mouth. Today's daimyo is still alive and well. If people in the daimyo mansion hear about it, they will offend people for no reason."

Chong Nian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "I'm getting old too, so I'm confused."

"I remember you are two years younger than me, Chung Nian." The Great Elder at the side complained.

The two of them are considered to be of the same generation, and now Chongnian has long since stepped down from the position of patriarch, so there is no need for the Great Elder to use honorific speech all the time.

When Chong Nian heard the words, he couldn't help curling his lips: "You are busy with family affairs every day, so of course you have a brighter mind."

"Aren't you lazy?"

"If you have such a capable son, you can be lazy."

"..."

The Great Elder immediately rolled his eyes angrily.

He is also currently looking for a successor.

The second and third elders are all about the same age as him, and they all have the same thoughts. I am afraid that after the official establishment of Ninja Village, these elders of the older generation will officially step down.

However, the Shimada clan can be said to be full of talents now, and Hanzo naturally doesn't worry about the family's lack of success. Seeing the two old men in front of him bickering non-stop, Hanzo, who was a little gloomy due to the oppressive atmosphere of the Fire City, couldn't help laughing.

The three of them walked into the main house, and there were three cups of hot tea on the table, apparently prepared by the servants in advance.

However, the three of them did not bother to touch these cups of tea.

Although the possibility is very small, they are also worried that the people of Daming Mansion will add something to the tea.

When it comes to playing these insidious tricks, nobles are much better than ninjas.

Hanzo and the other three didn't want to cause extra problems, so they simply didn't touch the tea, and they didn't even touch the lunch sent by the Daming House.

While the three of them were chatting in the main room, a waiter suddenly knocked on the door of the main room and said respectfully: "Three lords, your lord is here to visit."

　Chapter 3.It's New Year's Eve, I'm begging for recommendations from the big guys. Some book friends have raised the question of rhythm. Don't worry, there shouldn't be many plots before the village is built. I guess it's about six or seven chapters.
