The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

The Uchiha clan is intensively preparing to launch a war against the Senju clan, and the Shimada clan has also begun to select clan members to join the branch.

Oh no, it should be called Shimada branch now.

The Shimada clan is also a big clan. Although the great war more than two years ago caused heavy losses to the family, only ninjas were lost, and ordinary members of the family were not lost.

In short, the fertility of the Shimada family was not affected.

In more than two years, the family has added fresh blood to the ninja team.

Today, the number of ninjas in the Shimada clan has reached about 800, which can be regarded as an initial recovery.

"Young patriarch, these are the clansmen who chose to stay in the branch family."

The Great Elder handed the list to Hanzo.

Yuan Jiu, who was beside him, also poked his head over to watch with Hanzo.

It's also why he doesn't care, after all, he is his future team.

"Unexpectedly, you have quite a few little fans in your family."

Hanzo looked at the not-so-short list and joked.

"Come here less." Yuan Jiu curled his lips and said, "Most of these are obviously clansmen who got married in the Land of Water."

As the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet. Under Hanzo's proposition, the Shimada clan gave priority to those who voluntarily stayed.

However, most of the clansmen are not interested in staying in the Land of Water.

Only a small number of ethnic groups who marry wives and have children in the country of water will consider staying.

Of course, it was just a matter of consideration, and the clansmen left in the end were still a minority.

Although there are not many people in this part of the clan, but based on the base of the Shimada clan, more than [-] ninjas chose to stay in the end.

Counting the parents, wives and children of these ninjas, there are more than a hundred of them.

Such a population can be regarded as a medium-sized ninja in the Konoha of later generations.

"enough."

Yuan Jiu calculated: "With these clansmen, plus the support of Damingfu, Minazuki clan and Terumi clan, it is enough for me to operate."

"Don't be too careless." Hanzo reminded: "These guys are all scheming, and they won't easily do what you want."

"Don't worry, I will be careful." Yuan Jiu said seriously.

Hanzo nodded, not paying much attention.

Although the strength of the soon-to-be-established Shimada branch is indeed mediocre, with the support of the Shimada clan behind them, these ninjas may not dare to take advantage of the branch.

What's more, since the daimyo promised to let the Shimada branch become a high-level member in the new Mizuno Ninja world, then the Shimada branch will be a member of the Mizuno Ninja world in the future.

Under the premise that the Ninja World of the Water Country has been unified, the Shimada branch is the so-called internal member.

Conflicts with other ninjas also belong to "internal conflicts among the people". For such conflicts, under normal circumstances, they will not face the threat of force.

The current alliance is not three generations, but Kirigakure during the four generations of Mizukage, if there is a disagreement, it will be an extermination of the clan and a coup d'état.

As the alliance became more and more stable, Arashi Minazuki gradually tended to use political means to resolve disputes and conflicts, which also meant that the alliance began to develop into a stable political entity.

"I asked the elders. The twelve elders are willing to stay and assist you. From now on, the Shimada branch will be handed over to you two. In the afternoon, I will take you to meet Mizu Daimyo." Hanzo added .

"Understood." Yuan Jiu nodded.

In the afternoon, Hanzo led Yuan Jiu and the twelve elders to Daming Mansion.

When the daimyo heard that Hanzo was visiting, he vaguely guessed the purpose of the Shimada clan, and quickly sent someone to lead the three of them into the daimyo mansion.

"Your Excellency Hanzo, the noble has come to make a decision," the daimyo said with a smile, appearing to be in a good mood.

Hanzang also smiled when he heard the words: "After careful consideration, our clan decided to agree with His Excellency Daimyo's proposal, but the clansmen also have their own ideas, and we are not easy to force them, so we chose those who are willing to stay in the water. country, the people who serve the daimyo."

Saying that, Hanzo pointed to the Twelve Elders and Motohisa behind him, and said, "These two are the Patriarch and First Elder of the newly established Shimada branch of our clan, and both of them have the strength above Jonin."

As soon as Hanzo said this, Daimyo's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked eagerly at Yuan Jiu and the twelve elders.

He hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes stopped on the Twelve Elders: "Is this the patriarch of the branch family? I wonder what your name is?"

As soon as the daimyo said this, the expressions of the twelve elders and Yuan Jiu suddenly became embarrassed.

"cough"

Hanzo coughed dryly, pointed at Motohisa helplessly, and said: "Lord Daimyo, this is the head of the branch family. My name is Shimada Motohisa."

Hanzo pointed to the twelve elders again: "This is the head elder of the branch family, called Shimada Shunichi."

"Uh, that's right."

There was also a hint of embarrassment on Shui Daming's face.

There is no way, Yuan Jiu is just over 17 years old now, and there is still a trace of childishness on his face.

The daimyo naturally subconsciously believed that the twelve elders were the head of the branch family.

"Your Excellency Yuan Jiu is truly a hero born out of a boy."

The daimyo is daimyo after all, he quickly covered up the embarrassment, and said with a light smile.

"My lord is too famous." Yuan Jiu also saluted slightly.

Next, Yuan Jiu and the Daming Mansion will discuss the formation of a new guardian ninja.

As for the original guardian ninjas, except for a few who voluntarily stayed behind, everyone else returned to the family.

In addition, there are a series of affairs such as the residence of the Shimada branch in the future, the salary of the guardian ninja, and so on.

It was Motoku and Daimyo who were discussing, Hanzo did not participate, but just reminded him.

Fortunately, Yuan Jiu's comprehension was really good, and soon, the negotiating skills that were still a bit unfamiliar became proficient.

Hanzo looked at it and nodded secretly.

In the end, the Shimada family in the land of water will be separated, and the person in charge will be Yuan Jiu. Letting him experience more will also help him control the family in the future.

After half a day of deliberation, the Shimada Branch and the Daming House formally signed an agreement.

The Shimada branch formed the guardian ninja to protect the safety of the daimyo.

Daming Prefecture set aside an area in the water capital as the new residence of the Shimada branch.

As for the current residence of the Shimada clan, Heiyan Island, after the family moved out of the country of water, there would be more than a hundred people in the remaining branch families, and such a large island would not be needed.

Therefore, Yuan Jiu simply gave up on Heiyan Island.

Of course, the buildings built by the Shimada clan on the island were not wasted.

After some discussions, after the Zong family left Heiyan Island, the Daming Mansion funded the purchase of the island and its buildings.

The daimyo wanted to move some of the people of the current capital of water to Black Rock Island.

With the reproduction of this part of the people, the population under the jurisdiction of the Daming Mansion will also increase a lot, which is a win-win situation.

In addition, the daimyo supported the Shimada branch to join the Four Clans Alliance and become a member of the top ranks.

Of course, with the guarantees of the Minazuki and Terumi clans, the Shimada family would have been able to securely join the four-clan alliance.

The support of the Daming Mansion is more convenient for Yuan Jiu to grasp the actual power.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation. Your Excellency Yuanjiu." After the agreement was signed, Daming Shui said with a smile.
