The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 163 The Proposal From Hashirama

"...Taijian, what the hell is going on, it has to be so mysterious."

In the residence of the Thousand Hands Clan, Hashirama complained to Fei Jiandao who pulled him away from the practice field.

Looking at his silly elder brother, Tobima couldn't help but sigh.

...Why is it that other people's big brothers are the pillars, while my own big brother has to busy himself...

Rao Yifeijian's temperament couldn't help feeling depressed for a while.

"Brother, do you still want to practice here?" Feijian asked.

Hashirama scratched his head: "Why are you not in the mood? Isn't the Shimada clan no longer attacking us, and Madara and Hanzo... Speaking of which, I really want to fight Hanzo."

There was a sudden liver pain between the doors: "Brother, why do you think the Shimada clan stopped all of a sudden?"

"Isn't it because Hanzo and Madara have made trouble, so they want to turn their guns around?" Hashirama asked confused.

Tokaima: "...Brother, do you think Uchiha Madara is the kind of person who hates each other just because of the outcome of a battle?"

Hashirama was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the first time he met Madara by the unknown creek when he was 11 years old, and the dream he had dreamed of together on that cliff.

After a while, Hashirama shook his head: "Mara is not that kind of person."

Tomona didn't know that Hashirama's thoughts had diverged so far, and hearing Hashirama's answer, Tomona also nodded: "That's right, Uchiha Madara has a kind of personality for people with similar strength to him. Inexplicable appreciation, so the battle between him and Shimada Hanzo will not affect the next decision of the Uchiha clan."

As he said that, Feijian sighed, and said with a headache: "At first, I still couldn't understand why the Shimada clan suddenly attacked us. Now it seems that it is so..."

Hearing the words, Zhu Jian also gradually became serious, no matter what, he is now the patriarch of the Qianshou clan.

Just like in the Battle of the Valley of the End, he would kill his best friend Madara because of Hokage's identity. As the patriarch of the Senju Clan, he would never betray the family because of his personal relationship.

After a moment of silence, Hashirama said with a wry smile: "So, the Shimada clan and the Uchiha clan...may join forces to deal with us, right?"

Toikama nodded helplessly: "There should be nothing wrong."

A complicated look appeared on Hashirama's face, he didn't say anything, but left silently.

"Brother? What should we do?" Tobima asked anxiously behind him.

He couldn't help but be in a hurry, and it would not be easy for anyone to be targeted by two of the three strongest families in the Kingdom of Fire.

Hashirama didn't answer, but continued to walk aimlessly.

Seeing Hashirama's state in Toikama, he could only suppress the worries in his heart first.

Tobuma knew his elder brother well, and he knew that Hashirama would not disregard his family because of these emotions, he just needed a little time.

……

"Why, do we have to keep fighting?" Hashirama asked himself as he walked.

Looking at the somewhat hazy sky, he couldn't help thinking about the day his youngest brother Banma was buried.

At that time, he questioned his father angrily with the grief in his heart, could he force the child to die in order to win?
And Qianshou Buddhajian's answer to him was a heavy punch and a sentence: "Banjian is a hero who died for the family, not a child!" scolded.

But at that time, Hashirama was only forced to shut his mouth under the force of Thousand Hand Buddha Jian, and he was never convinced in his heart.
To this day, even though he has become the patriarch of the Qianshou clan, he still does not agree with his father's remarks at that time.

But now, Hashirama is caught in an extreme contradiction.

He can prevent those children from fighting in normal tasks, but when it comes to a decisive battle with families like Shimada and Uchiha, even if he doesn't want to, Hashirama must let those children go to the battlefield.

Again, without the power of these children, the basic combat power of the Thousand Hands Clan will lose a considerable part, and even Hashirama can't do anything about it.

Therefore, after the previous battle with the Uchiha Clan, Hashirama stayed alone in the room for three days, watching the children who were killed and buried, without saying a word to anyone.

It wasn't that Hashirama was weak at heart, nor was it that Hashirama was stupid and rigid.

But for any other person, when faced with such a sharp contrast between his inner ideal and reality, and he is powerless, he can't help but fall into self-doubt.

Hashirama is an excellent leader, a reliable ninja, and the future "Ninja God", but after all, he is a human being, not a god.

"At that time, I was powerless, should I continue to watch now?" Hashirama asked himself.

Now he is no longer the boy who was forced to shut up in front of his father's power a few years ago.

Now he is the patriarch of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Hashirama thought that he already had the ability to do something.

Thinking about it, Hashirama secretly made up his mind.

……

"...Are you sure it's the Senju clan, not the Uchiha clan?"

The residence of the Shimada clan, Hanzo said to the Second Elder with some astonishment.

The Second Elder also seemed a little puzzled, but he still passed the message from the envoy of the Thousand Hands Clan to Hanzo.

Hanzo took the scroll, opened it and looked at it for a while, then raised his eyebrows: "A meeting between the three clans?"

To be honest, Hanzo really didn't expect Hashirama to make such a proposal.

Isn't this a variant of the Five Kages Talks?

However, the request made by Hashirama in the scroll made Hanzo quite moved.

"Make an agreement among the three clans to prevent ninjas who are too young to go to the battlefield..."

Hanzo stroked his chin.

In fact, he himself had this idea a long time ago. The only thing to worry about is that if he did this, but Senju and Uchiha didn't do it, it would harm the family instead.

However, if the three clans make a common agreement, it will be different.

Anyway, in the Land of Fire, the only ones who can threaten each other are the three of them. For them, other forces are really weak and pitiful.

At least for the Shimada clan, even if their combat power is reduced by one-third, Hanzo will not have any pressure in the face of those forces.

Moreover, the war between the three clans of the Fire Nation is no longer a war of extermination, but a battle for dominance.

Under such circumstances, it could not be more appropriate to conclude such an agreement that can further reduce the scale of the war.

The more Hanzo thought about it, the more he realized that Hashirama's proposal was almost in his favor. He barely resisted the urge to agree on the spot. Hanzo straightened his expression, and then said to the second elder: "Notify everyone, and hold a high-level meeting."

Although the Second Elder didn't read the contents of the scroll, but seeing the change in Hanzo's expression, he also knew that the Thousand Hands might have made some big moves, so he nodded immediately and turned around to leave.
