The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

As the moon sets and the stars sink, as the moon gradually sinks to the horizon, Hanzo also ends his practice.

Although he didn't sleep for half the night, Hanzo didn't feel tired at all, and even felt a little refreshed. I don't know if it was some hidden benefit of being in contact with natural energy.

He hurried back home, seeing Genji who kicked the quilt to the ground, he helped his younger brother tuck the quilt helplessly, and lay back on his own bed.

After a short nap, beams of light began to gradually drive away the darkness.

Hanzo is now more sensitive to the outside world, and got up when he sensed the dawn.

Putting on the armor, checking the ninja bag and ninja sword, Hanzo walked out of the bedroom.

Just after he walked out of the bedroom, Genji, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, opened his eyes, and the eye sockets were red.

But how could Hanzo, who was extremely sensitive to his surroundings, not feel that he was pretending to sleep?

Outside, Hitomi and Chongnian are already waiting for him.

A hearty breakfast is on the table.

Seeing her son coming out, Hitomi suddenly came over and hugged him heavily.

Hanzo could understand his mother's worry, and hugged his mother back.

Although Zhongnian didn't speak, Hanzo also understood his eyes: come back alive.

"Don't worry mom, your son is very strong." Hanzo comforted softly.

Hitomi heard the words, calmed down her emotions, and forced a smile: "Stinky boy, you have grown so big in a blink of an eye, mom is waiting for you to stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world."

Hanzo also smiled and said, "It won't be long."

"It's quite proud, let's eat quickly."

"Ah."

Saying goodbye to his parents, Hanzo came to the training ground where the Shimada clan set out to gather ninjas.

Yuan Jiu was already waiting for him there, and after Hanzo, several clansmen came one after another.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the five elders who led the team began to distribute the task content to everyone.

This mission is led by the Fifth Elder with thirty ninjas. The mission is to exterminate the water ghost pirates that are raging in the eastern waters of the Land of Fire.

The task was issued by the "Machi Magi" of the Daming Prefecture.

The machichi is also an official position in the Daming Prefecture, and its main responsibilities are judicial and public security.

As for those water ghost pirates, you must know that the water ghosts that could wreak havoc in the Warring States Period were actually mostly stray dogs that survived the waves of ninjas or extinct ninjas.

These people have no pursuit and are precarious. Coupled with certain strength, they are often lawless, and they fight crazy.

The Daming Mansion ruled the Land of Fire, and ordinary small groups of bandits just turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. If they didn't care, there would be wealthy businessmen joining hands in twos and threes to hire ninjas to exterminate them.

But this time the pirates are obviously not small roles, at least they cannot be solved by rich businessmen.

Businessmen can't do business, can't make money, and the Daming Mansion will also lose a considerable amount of taxes.

The daimyo, who had actually lost his military leadership, naturally couldn't bear to have his only money bag shrink.

This time, the Shimada clan was hired heavily to exterminate these pirates.

"The situation of this mission must be clear to everyone." After a while, the fifth elder said.

"The mission is very clear. All the water ghost pirates will not be left behind. I know there are some newcomers in this mission, but I don't want anyone to lose the chain and tarnish the reputation of my Shimada clan."

As he spoke, he scanned Hanzo and Motohisa.

The two of them shouted loudly along with the other tribesmen: "I understand," but their hearts were unavoidable.

No matter how much psychological construction he had done before, before the real battle, Hanzo didn't know whether he could really make up his mind to kill him.

Just like that, Hanzo and Motojiu set off with the Fifth Elder and a group of clansmen with some trepidation.

Although the five elders brought not many people this time, everyone has at least reached the strength of Chunin.

The residence of the Shimada clan was originally in the eastern part of the Land of Fire, but in just a short while, the endless coastline appeared in the eyes of all the ninjas.

"stop"

Just when everyone was about to jump out of the woods, the Fifth Elder suddenly stopped.

Everyone stopped when they heard the words, and spontaneously restrained their tracks.

The fifth elder looked at the reaction of the clansmen, nodded, and then said: "The front is the territory of a small country, called the Kingdom of Waves. This country has no ninjas of its own, is weak, and has always been attached to the Kingdom of Fire. But in the end It's a local snake, we need to find out some news."

With that said, the fifth elder looked around for a week, and finally settled on Hanzo and Yuanjiu.

Obviously, this task is one aspect, but for the family, it is more important to train Hanzo, the heir.

And these ninjas are not so much here to do missions as to escort Hanzo.

Otherwise, even if those thieves are not weak, it is not worthwhile for the family to dispatch an elder and more than [-] clan members who are above Chunin strength.

Sure enough, the other ninjas were not surprised at all when the Fifth Elder pointed to Hanzo and Motoku.

And Hanzo and Yuanjiu were also mentally prepared, and after a little disguise, they set off with the fifth elder.

At this time, all three of them put away their ninja bags and put their ninja swords on their waists, as if they were dressed as samurai.

And the fifth elder, who is well-known in the ninja world, also used the transformation technique.

Originally in his 30s, he turned into an old samurai who looked like he was 50 years old.

The three of them seemed to be a combination of one master and two apprentices.

This is also very common in the current Fire Nation.

Compared with the ninja family-style inheritance, the samurai continued their most traditional master-apprentice model.

Moreover, samurai do not have so many complicated ninjutsu. For ordinary people, if they want to have a certain amount of force, becoming a samurai is the most realistic choice.

But relatively, the samurai is much worse than the ninja in terms of combat effectiveness and practicality.

The disguises of the three Hanzos were quite successful, at least on the streets of the capital of the Kingdom of Waves, they did not attract any attention.

It is said to be the capital city, but in Hanzo's view, it is really a slightly more prosperous village.

Not far from the capital city, we arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Waves, which is really a tiny country that couldn't be smaller.

Compared with Hanzo's memory, the scenes in the plot of the Kingdom of Waves are much more depressed.

The three of them didn't delay too much in this "village", but went straight to the Daming Mansion in the Kingdom of Waves.

Compared to the shabby capital, the Daming Mansion is much more luxurious. At the very least, it looks like a very elegant courtyard.

Naturally, this courtyard was not built by the poor ghost daimyo of the land of waves, but by the daimyo of the land of fire for the purpose of maintaining the majesty of the daimyo class, and sponsored by friendship.

This time, the town of Fire Country pursued the hiring of the Shimada clan to eliminate pirates, and naturally also notified the Namanokuni daimyo for assistance.

Although the daimyo of the Land of Waves is also a daimyo in name, they are just poor creatures who survive in the Land of Fire, and they naturally agree to the orders of a senior official like the "Minister of Public Security" of the Land of Fire.

Moreover, the Shimada clan, as one of the most powerful ninja clan in the ninja world, is also untouchable by the Nami Country, so the Nami Country Daimyo regards this matter as much as receiving the Sage of the Six Paths.

I heard that there is going to be a welcome banquet for the Shimada clan.

The Fifth Elder, who was always serious and fiery, naturally had no patience to attend any banquet, and if the news got out, those pirates would break up into pieces and run away in all directions. At that time, he didn't know how much energy he would spend chasing and killing them.

As a result, the fifth elder actually jumped over the wall with Hanzo and Motojiu and entered the Daming Mansion in the Country of Waves.
