The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

In fact, it is a very disrespectful behavior for Hanzo and the other three to arrive at the door of the negotiation, but the other party has not yet come out to greet them.

But now that people are under the eaves, Hanzo and the three are not easy to get angry, only the tenth elder looks slightly annoyed.

Pushing open the door, there was a rectangular conference table inside. A total of eleven Hinata ninjas sat on the long table. They were the ten elders of the Hyuga clan and the contemporary patriarch Hyuga Kaghiko.

"Who are you, who allowed you to break into this conference room?"

Hyuga Kaghiko, who was at the top, hadn't spoken yet, and a middle-aged ninja who looked to be in his forties next to him shouted angrily with a gloomy expression.

Looking at the position where he was sitting, Hanzo could also tell that this should be the great elder of the Hyuga clan.

After being yelled at by the great elder of the Hinata clan, the three Hanzo almost pulled their faces down at the same time.

Even the eldest elder of the Hyuga clan is not qualified to yell at the dignified young clan leader of the Shimada clan. His behavior is no longer disrespectful, but a slap in the face of the Shimada clan.

But before Hanzang could speak, Hinata Kaghihiko spoke first: "The elders have not been notified about this matter, these three are the young patriarchs of the Shimada clan, the fifth elder and the tenth elder, and they are here to discuss matters between the two clans. matters of cooperation.

It was my mistake that I didn't notify the elders in advance, the Great Elder will not blame me. "

Hinata Kyouhiko obviously didn't want the elder to make the situation stiff, so he simply made peace and took the responsibility on himself.

The Great Elder couldn't afford to lose face to the head of the family in front of the foreigners, so he reluctantly cupped his hands and said, "What did the head say? I'm being rude to you, please forgive me."

"I didn't inform you in advance that I was cheating."

Hanzo and the three sneered in their hearts.

However, with the step down, they took advantage of the situation to expose this matter. After all, compared with the major issues of the alliance, the attitude of the Great Elder is just a small problem.

However, the presence of Hinata Kyouhiko and the Great Elder also allowed Hanzo to roughly understand the current situation of the high-level Hyuga clan.

Among the 11 people in front of them, only the patriarch Kagami Hiko and the Great Elder, as well as two elders in the lower ranks, did not wear the cloth belt embroidered with the clan emblem on their foreheads. Obviously, these four are the only four members of the Hyuga Clan among the high-level people.

The remaining seven people, including the two elite jounin, should all be separated.

Although they have become high-level because of their strength, they probably don't have much say in the real talk.

"In this way, the head of the Hyuga Clan now hopes to form an alliance with us, and the Great Elder hopes to join forces with the Sarutobi Clan to fight for hegemony." Hanzo silently wrote it down in his heart.

"As for the remaining two people," Hanzo glanced at the two elders of the clan who were powerful jonins. They were looking at their noses and their minds, as if the situation in front of them had nothing to do with them.

"It can be considered a neutral faction for the time being."

"Come here, add three chairs for the three distinguished guests." Hinata Kaghiko ordered.

Soon, several ninjas added three chairs, directly opposite Kaghiko.

The three of Hanzo also sat down immediately.

Seeing the two elders consciously sitting on both sides of Hanzo, Hinata Kaghihiko and the First Elder were moved in their hearts.

"I didn't expect this young man to be the real talker."

At the same time, Hyuga Kaghiko felt sour.

At such a young age, Hanzo was able to get two elders who were above Jōnin strength to be willing to assist him.

Although his successor is excellent, he is much worse than Hanzo, at least he is not qualified to attend high-level meetings yet.

Not to mention the heir, even as the patriarch himself, he has no more say in the clan than the elders of the clan.

After all, Hyuga Kaghiko is only the strength of an elite Jonin.

Without an advantage in strength, relying on the status of a patriarch alone obviously cannot allow him to keep his word.

On the contrary, people like Chung Nian and Thousand Hand Buddha, although they also respect the opinions of the elders, when they really make up their minds, the elders can only follow the will of the patriarch.

"I wonder what benefits our clan will gain if we form an alliance with the Shimada clan."

Hyuga Kaghihiko didn't make many detours, and went straight to the point.

"First, the two clans form an alliance, one side will watch and help each other, and any other force's attack on one of the clans will be regarded as an attack on the two clans, and the other side must provide immediate assistance." Hanzo said first.

Hinata Kaghihiko nodded, this is the right thing to do, if you can't even do this, the so-called alliance is meaningless.

"Second." Hanzo stretched out two fingers, "The two clans form a joint high-level, and allocate seats according to the number of ninjas on both sides and the number of jounin. There are two jouninjas and 200 ordinary ninjas. In the future, the two clans will be consistent."

As soon as Hanzo's words fell, the senior management of the Hyuga clan was in an uproar.

If the condition just now was just a basic exercise, this condition can be regarded as completely binding the two clans together.

The number of ninjas of the Hyuga Clan is three fewer than that of the Shimada Clan, and the number of ninjas is only about half of the current Shimada Clan.

If this condition is followed, the alliance will undoubtedly be headed by the Shimada clan.

"Young clan leader said it lightly. If the Shimada clan's plan is followed, wouldn't our Hyuga clan become your vassal?" The elder was the first to sneer.

Hanzo shook his head and said: "The Great Elder is overly worried. If we go by this condition, our clan only accounts for 60.00% of the top management, and the nobles also occupy [-]% of the seats. How can they be said to be vassals of our clan?"

Before the Great Elder continued to refute, Hanzo took the lead and said: "Elder, don't worry, I have a third point.

Third, the finances of the two clans are unified, and how to use the income is determined by the joint high-level officials, and no clan can use it privately. "

If the condition just now was a slap in the face, this is the sweet date given by the Shimada clan.

To tell the truth, the Hyuga Clan’s financial situation is mediocre, otherwise the number of ninjas would not be maintained at around 600 for a long time.

Counting the vassals of the Shimada clan, there are now more than 70.00 ninjas. Even if the per capita situation is worse, the income of the Shimada clan is estimated to be at least [-]% higher than that of the Hyuga clan.

This is actually the wish of the Shimada clan to transfer some of their economic interests in exchange for the concession of the Hyuga clan's right to speak politically.

After all, the economic situation is improving, which means that the Hyuga clan can train more ninjas, and their strength will grow steadily. Moreover, the two clans will join forces, and they will definitely be able to get a bigger piece of cake in the commission of the Fire Nation, which can be regarded as a win-win situation. .

"These are the three conditions of our family. Of course, this is just a general framework. The specific details can be discussed in detail after the alliance is finalized." Hanzo finally said.

At this time, the elders of the Hyuga clan obviously held different views on the conditions of the Shimada clan, but it was difficult for them to discuss directly because of the presence of the three Hanzos.

Hyuga Kyouhiko also saw this, and simply said: "The three distinguished guests have come from afar, why don't I let the clansmen take you to rest up first, and I need to discuss with the elders. I will entertain the three more later. .”

The three Hanzos naturally had nothing to do, and immediately, a member of the Hyuga clan led the three of them away.

Seeing the outsiders leaving, the senior leaders of the Hyuga clan immediately started a heated discussion.
