The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 276
Time passed day by day, and on the sixth day, the Shimada clan finally took care of many affairs in the clan and began to officially move.

Unlike usual rush marches, this time of relocation, a large number of ordinary clansmen in the family will also accompany them, and the clansmen are also carrying all kinds of belongings, so the speed will naturally not be fast.

Therefore, even though Konoha's residence was not too far from the family, it was already mid-afternoon when Hanzo led the family to Konoha.

From a distance, Hanzo led a mighty large team, coupled with many carriages pulling things, it looked quite spectacular.

Of course, if the Shimada clan alone, there are actually not so many people, but in addition to the Shimada clan, there are also the Hyuga clan, the vassal ninja clan of the Shimada clan, and the surrendered ninja army led by Qingxi.

The sum of these scattered people is no less than that of the Shimada clan, so the whole team looks quite bloated.

But with so many people, it is convenient for the resident.

From a distance, the Fifth Elder saw the dense crowd of people.

Because of this, when Hanzo led the crowd to Konoha, the Fifth Elder had already brought a few ninjas to welcome him.

"Clan... Hokage-sama."

The fifth elder, who was used to being called the patriarch, couldn't change his words for a while, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to call him the right name.

"How is it, have Hashirama and Madara come?" Hanzo didn't care about the fifth elder's slip of the tongue, but asked about the situation of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan.

"not yet."

The Fifth Elder shook his head and said: "People from the two clans have already come to spread the news, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan will arrive here tomorrow."

Hanzo nodded when he heard the words, and stopped asking any more questions. Instead, he began to look at the Konoha residence in front of him, which had been preliminarily taken care of under the command of the fifth elder.

At this time, the valley that was originally a forest has been cut out of a large open space.

Rows of tents were neatly set up on the open space, with more than a dozen simple wooden houses interspersed among them.

Seeing that Hanzo was looking around non-stop, the Fifth Elder on the side immediately explained: "Master Hokage, because I need to solve the problem of accommodation for the villagers first, I arranged for them to set up enough tents first. residence.

In addition, because each ethnic group has some old and weak, these houses are prepared for these old and weak, you see..."

Saying that, the Fifth Elder looked at Hanzo with some trepidation.

In the past, the relocation of the Shimada clan was mainly carried out by the Great Elder.

But this time, Hanzo did not send the First Elder, but the Fifth Elder with little experience.

This is mainly because although the Great Elder is rich in experience, firstly, the Shimada Clan cannot do without the Great Elder, and secondly, the Great Elder does not hold any position in Konoha.

The Fifth Elder, on the other hand, took the position of an elder in charge of the Ministry of Commerce.

The Ministry of Commerce is responsible for all aspects of Konoha's business, including architectural planning and other work. Therefore, it is justifiable for the fifth elder to be in charge, and other ninjas will not have any opinions.

So Hanzo thought twice before choosing to send the Fifth Elder as the advance team.

But in this way, the Fifth Elder, who has no experience in this area, is naturally a little nervous, for fear that he will mess things up.

"No, you're doing fine."

Looking at the somewhat disturbed Fifth Elder, Hanzo grinned and said, "It's enough for you to do these things well, and other professional work will be taken care of by a dedicated person.

Uncle Yi Teng has already sent people to the Fire City to invite the best planners and architects, and then they will handle these matters together with the people in charge of construction from various ethnic groups in the village. "

"That's good, I'm still worried that I messed up." The Fifth Elder suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

But Hanzo didn't have the time to take care of him at this time, and there were still a group of people waiting for him to arrange.

Immediately, Hanzo called the elders of the Shimada clan and Yoshii Ishii to him, and said, "Everyone, it's still a while before dark, so let's set up enough tents for the ordinary clansmen first, and as for the ninjas, just Let's make do with one night first."

"Yes, patriarch." The elders of the Shimada clan responded
"No problem, Hokage-sama." Qingxi also nodded.

But there are no ordinary people on Qingxi's side.

When the General's Mansion of the Land of Fire cultivated the ninja army, in order to ensure the loyalty of the army members, they always looked for orphans in the Land of Fire to train them as ninjas.

These orphans have been cared for and nurtured by the General's Mansion since they were young, so they will naturally be loyal to the General's Mansion.

Because of this, as orphans, most of these ninjas naturally have no relatives.

Only members of the ninja army who are old enough and have a certain status can get married and start a family.

Therefore, compared with the Shimada clan, the work of Qingxi and others is obviously much more convenient.

Of course, in addition to the Shimada Clan and the Ninja Clan, there are also the Hyuga Clan and some Ninja Clans that were originally affiliated to the Shimada Clan.

Now that everyone is a member of Konoha, it doesn't matter whether they are vassals or not. Although Hanzo is Hokage, he will not reach out to other people's families at will.

But these ninjas are not stupid.

Although they are free now, this does not change the fact that they are just little ninjas.

But the Shimada clan can be called the thickest thighs in Konoha today.

They used to be vassals of the Shimada clan, so naturally they had more or less contacts in the Shimada clan.

With these connections, their relationship with the Shimada clan is naturally closer.

With such a thigh in front of your eyes, if you don't hug it now, when will you wait?
Therefore, even if Hanzo didn't arrange it, these ninjas naturally built their tents and wooden houses near the Shimada clan.

……

When the sun went down, the open space in the valley expanded a lot.

The new open space was also filled with tents.

However, compared to the original rows of tents with distinct rows of ninjas, this new tent is centered on the Shimada clan, surrounded by various ninjas in circles. .

Hanzo didn't expect this to happen at first.

By the time he noticed, this pattern had already formed.

This made him quite helpless.

He could even predict that when the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan arrived, those little ninja clans that were originally attached to these two ninja clans would inevitably follow suit.

"This is not possible... If the ninjas in the village are still divided into three factions centered on our three clans, I am afraid it is also a hidden danger..."

Sitting cross-legged in a tent, Hanzo thought silently.

"...We still have to find a way to really bond these ninjas into a ninja village."

Rubbing his temples with some headaches, Hanzo also understood that the establishment of Konoha was just the beginning, and there was much more to be done.
