The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

9 Handover
It was already the third day of fighting off the ninjas.

On this day, the Shimada clan and the entire ninja world received a piece of explosive news.

The Uchiha clan and the Yuyi clan joined forces to besiege the Senju clan. At the critical moment, the Shimada clan supported Senju, and the two clans joined forces to complete the counter-kill.

Shimada Shinen, the patriarch of the Shimada clan, killed the great elder of the Uchiha clan with his own hands, while Uchiha Tajima, the patriarch, was seriously injured and fled.

After this battle, the vitality of the Uchiha clan was severely injured, and they lost the capital to fight against the Senju clan in a short period of time.

Correspondingly, the Shimada clan became famous, and for a while, there was a faint tendency to replace Uchiha and become one of the two powerhouses of the Warring States Period.

After Hanzo heard the news, he was not as excited as ordinary clansmen.

As the so-called fire cooks oil, the momentum of the Shimada clan has reached its peak, but it has also planted disasters.

Hanzo didn't need to think about it, and he knew that the Senshou clan who were fighting together in a trench a few hours ago would be the first to murmur in his heart.

After the daimyo knew the ins and outs of the whole incident, he would inevitably become wary of the Shimada clan.

Not to mention General Qingxi, Yu Yi and Uchiha, who have just lost their soldiers and generals.

Looking at the entire Fire Nation, there is only one Hyuga Clan in a short period of time that the Shimada Clan can fight for, and it is worth fighting for.

But no matter how worried Hanzo is, he has no right to speak when he is only four years old.

He succeeded in persuading Hitomi before, although afterwards the elders paid more attention to him.

But it's not up to him to decide on keeping a low profile.

Especially for ninjas who are actually "mercenaries", this kind of prestige is simply a supreme honor.

He jumped out at the moment and said that the family was facing a crisis and there was a risk of overturning, and others would not have any thoughts other than thinking that he was making trouble.

"I can only wait two days to find a chance to talk to my father..." Han Zang secretly said.

Hanzo thought he didn't have the capital to influence other high-level officials, but there was still hope for influencing his own father.

At least Hanzo knew that Shinen would listen carefully to what he had to say, instead of directly thinking that it was a child messing around.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chongnian led the clansmen back to the station.

Of course, he came back with a lot of supplies.

The losses of the Senju Clan in this battle are not small, the Uchiha Clan has already learned a lesson, and the Yuyi Clan will naturally not have a good time.

The two clans drove to the residence of the Yuyi clan in mighty force, forcing the Yuyi clan to deliver a considerable amount of supplies, including a large number of ninja tools and medicines.

Although the Senshou Clan gained a lot of money, the Shimada Clan also got a lot of money.

As for the remuneration obtained from the daimyo, in addition to leaving a part of the working capital, the rest was also exchanged for various living materials and ninja tools.

Compared with the bountiful gains, the losses of the Shimada family are extremely small, and it can be said that they have made a lot of money.

"What? Qingxi's army raided the clan land?"

As soon as the high-spirited Chung Nian returned to the family, before he could share his joy with his wife, he received such sad news.

"Yes. If Hanzo hadn't discovered some clues in advance, I'm afraid the family would be hit hard this time."

The elder said seriously to Chung Nian and the three elders who had just returned to the family.

Chung Nian was silent for a while, while the elders and housekeeper Yi Teng watched Chung Nian silently, waiting for him to make a final decision.

After a while, Chong Nian said: "Let's move, the family has been staying in this resident for a long time, this time the celebration of the Ninja Army's surprise attack will expose the situation of the resident to some extent, it is no longer safe here."

"Patriarch!" The four elders with a somewhat fiery temper were the first to stand up and said, "Could it be that this sneak attack, we just forget it?"

"Yeah, Patriarch, I also don't think we can just celebrate that guy so cheaply." The Sixth Elder also objected.

"Okay!" Chung Nian frowned and shouted.

The elders immediately fell silent.

This time, Chong Nian showed great power on the battlefield, and even used the technique of transformation that only the black dragon pattern possesses.

Although incomplete, it also let everyone know that his strength has reached a new height.

Strength determines status, and it is not an exaggeration for the senior members of the Shimada clan to say that it is a new year, and the elders will not have the slightest dissatisfaction.

Just like the Senju Hashirama of the later generations, even though Tomona was dissatisfied with his decision, he couldn't stop Hashirama's decision.

"Do you think that the Shimada clan is already strong now, and it's time to go further?" Chung Nian said in a deep voice.

The elders didn't speak, but from their eyes, it was obvious what they meant.

Only the second elder looked thoughtful, while the first elder looked at Chong Nian with some relief.

"Although we have gained a lot from this mission, we also have a big enmity with Hagoromo, Uchiha, and General Qingxi. Although the guy between Daimyo and Senju Buddha greets us with a smile, he may not be unscrupulous towards us." Heavy Nian explained that his thoughts coincided with Hanzo's.

"Our current strength is very strong, but it is only because I have condensed an incomplete transformation technique.

In these two battles, our losses were small, and there are many objective factors. In fact, we may not have much advantage in a one-on-one confrontation yesterday.

However, as long as we wait 20 years, or even 15 years, when Hanzo and Genji brothers grow up, what will our family be like?I don't think I need to say more, you all understand. "

"Hahahahahaha."

Just when the elders were stunned, the first elder suddenly laughed.

He stood up and said with relief: "Chongnian, you have really grown up, and I can finally hand over the family to you with confidence."

As he said that, the First Elder handed the jade ring representing the status of the First Elder of the family to the Second Elder beside him, and said, "He Song, from today onwards, you are the First Elder, and I, an old man, can finally retire."

"Uncle Xiuchang, you..." The Second Elder, Shimada Tsurumatsu, was a little taken aback, and even used his private address.

"Remember, you must assist Chongnian well." The elder, no, it was Shimada Hideunaga, but he didn't listen to him, and ordered directly.

Then he turned his head and said to Chongnian: "Patriarch, my body is getting worse day by day. Now that the patriarch has strategy and has successors, I can rest assured that this burden can finally be lifted."

"Uncle Xiuchang, the family still needs you." Chong Nian subconsciously said, also a little confused.

"Hey, I'm just resigning from the position of Great Elder. If the family needs me as an old bone in the future, I will naturally do my part." Shimada Hideki said.

Chung Nian hesitated for a moment, looking at the thin body of Xiu Chang, who was over sixty years old, and finally said: "Uncle Xiu Chang has dedicated himself to the family, so it's time to rest. I remember that boy A Yi is almost two years old, right?" , Uncle Xiuchang can also spend time with his grandson."

Thinking of his grandson, Xiuchang also showed a smile, but he still said: "I have to train that brat well, so that I can assist the young patriarch in the future."

Finally, under the leadership of Chong Nian, the elders and housekeeper Yi Teng saluted this hard-working old man together.

After the meeting, Yi Teng, who watched the whole process, secretly sighed: "One era is over...but when will another era begin?"

He couldn't help looking at the location of the patriarch's house, his gaze seemed to penetrate all obstacles, and he saw the four-year-old child who had just returned home after a day of practice.
