The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

After the cooperation was finalized, Terumi Rong and the elder of the Terumi clan also breathed a sigh of relief.

A smile appeared on Terumei's face, and he said, "Since we've finished talking, let's take our leave first."

Hanzo also nodded and said, "You two are welcome."

After finishing speaking, the four of them saluted each other, and Terumei and the elders of the Terumi clan opened the door and left.

After the two left, only Hanzo and Yuan Jiu were left in the private room.

"Yuanjiu, you were just now"

Without outsiders, Hanzo couldn't help asking.

He didn't blame Yuanjiu for interjecting, but the problem is that the last request, apart from making it easier for the Shimada clan to convince the Minazuki clan, does not benefit the Shimada clan themselves.

Motojiu has always been very wise, but this time he gave the Terumi clan such a condition, so Hanzo couldn't help being puzzled.

Hearing Hanzo's question, Yuan Jiu didn't answer immediately.

He was silent for a moment, and said: "This can be regarded as a good sale to the Terumi clan and the Minazuki clan at the same time. In the future, the branch of the family in the country of water must not be strong. The family needs to maintain a good relationship.”

When Motojiu said this, Hanzo was even more surprised: "But whether the family has left a branch in the Kingdom of Water is still a matter of debate. What's more, can the branch left behind be able to make full use of these relationships?"

It's not that Hanzo suspects that if you want to make good use of these relationships, you need someone who is good at dancing. The leader of the branch left by the Shimada clan may not have this ability.

Yuan Jiu hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "Hanzo, see if I can be the patriarch of this lineage."

"you"

This time Hanzo was really stunned.

He really didn't expect Yuan Jiu to have such thoughts.

Seeing Hanzo's shocked face, Yuan Jiulian said: "I think my strength, resourcefulness, and relationship with the family are the most suitable to be the patriarch of this branch."

Hanzo fell silent.

Indeed, in terms of strength, Yuan Jiu has now entered the level of elite jounin, and looking at the country of water is also a strong one.

Even Ganshi, the patriarch of Kaguya's clan, and Terumei who just left, dare not say that they are sure to win Motojiu.

As for resourcefulness, Hanzo and Motohisa have been partners for so many years and know him well.

Yuan Jiu's methods are flexible, the details are in place, and he has a good view of the overall situation. He can be regarded as an excellent leader.

Talking about the relationship with the family, Motojiu is Hanzo's guard, and the two have known each other for more than ten years. At least Hanzo himself has great trust in Motojiu.

In addition, Zhongnian and Yuanjiu also have a half-teacher friendship, and the great elder has a good relationship with Yuanjiu. Hanzo can't even think of a more suitable person than Yuanjiu.

From all aspects, Yuan Jiu is a suitable candidate for the position of patriarch of this branch.

But Hanzo couldn't figure out how Motohisa came up with this idea.

Even himself, although he knew that Yuan Jiu was very suitable to be the patriarch of this lineage, but subconsciously, Hanzo subconsciously ignored Yuan Jiu.

"Yuanjiu, tell the truth, how did you come up with this idea?"

After a long silence, Hanzo still asked this question.

Hearing this, Motojiu sighed and said, "Hanzo, if your family returns to the Land of Fire and defeats the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, will you take them under your command?"

Hanzo nodded without hesitation.

Both Senju and Uchiha are ninjas with excellent potential and strength.

To put it bluntly, including the Shimada clan, any of the three major ninja clans in the Land of Fire back then can match the combined strength of three or even four of the five major ninja clans in the Land of Water.

In the original time and space, the Uchiha clan enjoyed the title of the No. [-] ninja family until the clan was exterminated, and it was Konoha's important combat power.

If the Senju Clan had not fallen into decline due to the demise of the Uzumaki Clan, they would obviously be only stronger than the Uchiha Clan.

It is an inevitable choice for such two powerful ninjas to earn their subordinates or form an alliance.

Seeing Hanzo nod, Motojiu paused, and then said in a low voice: "Hanzo, do you still remember how I became your bodyguard?"

Hanzo froze for a moment.

The memory of the past was already a little distant, but he still pulled out the old picture from the depths of his mind.

A widowed woman, a crying child, and a thirst for revenge

Hanzo fell silent.

He suddenly remembered that Motoku's father was killed in a battle between the Shimada clan and the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, in the first few years of practicing with Hanzo, Yuan Jiu always believed in revenge, so that he could make rapid progress.

That is to say, in these years, Yuan Jiu gradually mentioned less, and people became more and more cheerful, Hanzo only forgot about this.

Seeing this, Yuan Jiu smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "You don't have to think too much, in fact, after so many years, whether it's me or my mother, the idea of ​​revenge has faded a lot.

We don't even know who the man who killed my father is, maybe that man died in some battle.

I also understand that if the family wants to unify the Fire Nation, it is imperative to subdue the Senju and Uchiha clans.

But my mother is getting old, if I go back to the Land of Fire, I need to go back and forth, not to mention, I am also afraid that when the family subdues the Uchiha clan, my mother will inevitably be depressed.

So I thought, why not just stay in the Land of Water with my mother, and I am confident that I can take the position of the patriarch of this branch and do my best for the family.The war here is coming to an end, and there are not too many disputes, so let mother take care of her life. "

"call"

Hanzo let out a breath.

After listening to Yuan Jiu, he had already made a decision.

He stood up, patted Yuan Jiu on the shoulder, and said: "Since you have made up your mind, if the family really has a branch in the country of water, I will support you."

The two have been partners for more than ten years. Although the relationship between the young patriarch and the guard is nominal, Hanzo has long regarded Yuan Jiu as a friend and brother.

Now that his brother has made up his mind and is a suitable candidate, Hanzo will only support him.

Hearing what Hanzo said, Yuanjiu also showed a smile and said: "Don't worry, I"

Before Yuan Jiu finished speaking, Hanzo waved his hand to stop him.

"I don't know you yet. There's no need to say these words."

After the problem was solved, the two returned to their brotherly good looks.

Hanzo curled his lips and said, "Don't be too happy too early, Uncle Hesong is still biting his tongue. If he doesn't agree, whether this branch can be established is still up to two."

Yuan Jiu let out a "squeak" and said, "You don't come here. Some of the things you decide are ghost ideas to get the family to agree, not to mention Uncle He Song's objection, and there are also factors that worry that the patriarch of this branch is unreliable. Now I will do it myself. Uncle Hesong must be relieved."

"It's really narcissistic." Hanzo looked like he couldn't stand him.

"What did you say"

During the fight, the two also left the teahouse.
