The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 464 Changes
"dad."

When Hanzo returned home, a small carrot head bumped into Hanzo's arms.

Hanzo immediately smiled and picked up the little guy.

This little guy is of course Hanzo's son Matsura. More than three years later, Matsura is almost four years old. According to the tradition of the Shimada clan, he will start receiving ninja training by then.

In this regard, the Shimada clan has high hopes from top to bottom.

The patriarch's own son, and born with the black dragon pattern like the patriarch, it's hard not to let everyone have high hopes.

Some people even suggested to Hanzo that Shimada Matsuyoshi should start ninja training in advance, but Hanzo still sternly refused.

It is uncontrollable to overdraw the body by practicing in advance, not to mention that the situation in the ninja world has stabilized now, and he doesn't need his children to work so hard for the time being.

"Did you have a good meal tonight?" Hanzo asked with a smile while hugging his son.

The little guy frowned slightly, and then proudly said: "Of course I did, my mother and uncle praised me."

"Your uncle is here?" Hanzo was taken aback when he heard that.

"That's right, I came here in the afternoon." Komatsu Ryo said, pointing his fingers, "I said I need to find my father for something, and I'm waiting in the study now."

Hanzo nodded thoughtfully, then put his son down, and said, "Go to your mother and tell her I'm back, I'll go to the study first."

"Okay." Little Luobotou responded, and then bounced away.

Hanzo turned around and walked towards the study.

Pushing open the door, Genji was indeed sitting at the desk with a scroll spread out in front of him, studying it carefully.

These scrolls are some random notes that Hanzo wrote down when he was studying ninjutsu and blood succession limit on weekdays.

Of course, if there is no accident, these essays will also be included in the library of the Shimada family after sorting out, and become part of the family heritage. The so-called strong family heritage is slowly accumulated by the ancestors of the family. .

Seeing Hanzo come in, Genji immediately looked away from the scroll and said, "Brother, you are back, I have been waiting for a long time."

"Hahaha, I heard what Matsura said." Hanzo laughed, and said, "Didn't that guy Beibei graduate today? I went to his graduation ceremony and took him to celebrate by the way."

"It turned out to be like this." Genji remembered this incident, and then put the topic aside: "Brother, I came to you today mainly to ask about the election."

"Oh?" Hearing what he said, Hanzo also became serious.

Konoha right now looks calm on the surface, but in fact, there is already an undercurrent surging secretly, especially among the high-level members.

Some ninjas with certain strength and relative neutrality began to run secretly, trying to gain some benefits for the family with the votes in their hands.

"Recently, I discovered that Uchiha Izumi is always mysterious, and I don't know what he's doing, but I think it may have something to do with the election." Genji told Hanzo the news he found out.

"The Uchiha clan..." Hanzo rubbed his chin and murmured.

In fact, in his opinion, it is normal for the Uchiha clan to move. If there is no movement, Hanzo will feel something is wrong.

When the Hara Higa clan was in trouble, Genji's promise to Senju Tomona was very secret, but the Uchiha clan were not fools, so how could the Shimada clan really reveal such a big matter quietly?

In their view, Hokage is probably preparing to settle accounts after the fall, and take advantage of the opportunity to reorganize the high-level after this election to weaken the power of the Uchiha clan in a legitimate way.

After all, the high-level candidates are appointed by Hokage.

Therefore, if the Uchiha clan wants to keep their own power, and even go one step further, the best way is to take the position of Hokage.

Moreover, it is his legitimate right for Uchiha Madara to participate in the election, and Hanzo can't say anything.

"Brother, which families are supporting us now?" Seeing that Hanzo was silent, Genji couldn't help asking.

"Currently the Hyuga Clan is supporting us, the Sarutobi and Kurama Clans are also supporting us, and the Yamanaka Clan, including those little ninjas who first came into contact with us, are mostly on our side." Hanzo will support himself like a treasure. The ninja here told Genji.

"There are so many?" Genji was stunned when he heard this.

These ninja clans that Hanzo mentioned are all of a certain scale, and there are also a lot of ninja clans in the clan, which are quite influential in voting.

Looking at his younger brother, Hanzo smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's normal, the interests of these families are all attached to us, and the Uchiha clan also has a group of ninjas who follow them to eat meat and drink soup. Changing the sect also depends on whether the ninjas under the Uchiha clan are willing to transfer their benefits to them."

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a question of profit distribution.

Under the command of the Shimada clan, there is a high probability that they will not be able to get the benefits they can get after they change their families.

And like the Hyuga clan, it is even more impossible to join the Uchiha clan. Who knows if the Uchiha clan will intervene in the internal affairs of the Hyuga clan and make the original Hyuga clan revive?
Even though the power of the Hyuga clan has declined compared to before, for the branch family, life is much more nourishing now than before, and they are naturally unwilling to take risks.

Listening to Hanzo's explanation, Genji was also thoughtful, and after a while, he smiled and said: "Since the elder brother is prepared, then I will not mix it up, and I will wait for your good news."

With that said, he stood up and was about to leave.

But Hanzo suddenly added another sentence: "By the way, you still have to pay attention to Quanna in the near future, I always feel something is wrong..."

Regarding the small actions of the Uchiha clan in the Land of Thunder, Hanzo did not notice it at first, but after three years, he has already discovered this matter.

After all, as Hokage, Hanzo has all the resources and intelligence of Konoha in his hands.

The spies of the Uchiha clan are very careful, but many clues cannot be solved by being careful.

At the beginning, Hanzo was very annoyed at the Uchiha clan's behavior of blatantly undermining the village strategy, and planned to directly hold the Uchiha clan accountable after collecting enough evidence.

However, in the process of collecting evidence, Hanzo noticed that the spies of the Uchiha clan were more like pretending.

This made Hanzo feel very strange.

In addition, Genji told him that Quan Nai's whereabouts were strange recently, which made him even more suspicious.

While thinking, Hanzo also stood up, and although Genji was a little confused, but since Hanzo said so, he nodded and said: "Got it, I will pay attention to Uchiha Izuna."
