The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Hanzo's analysis is well-founded, and the elders have no other questions.

However, Hanzo still noticed that Hinata Kyohiko next to him seemed a little absent-minded.

Hanzo's heart shuddered.

The Hyuga clan and the Shimada clan have suffered heavy losses in this battle without gaining any benefits since they formed an alliance.

Now that the Shimada clan is about to move to the country of water, the previously promised benefits are basically in vain, and it is normal for Hinata Kaghiko to have other thoughts.

But Hanzo must prevent this from happening.

The number of ninjas in the Shimada Clan is decreasing sharply. If the Hyuga Clan rebels again, the Shimada Clan will become weaker, and no matter which side the Hyuga Clan joins, it will also break the current balance between Senju and Uchiha, which can be described as harming oneself and benefiting others.

Although Hanzo wanted to move his family to the Land of Water, he never planned to actually settle in the Land of Water.

Although the country of water is also a big country, its land area is not large, most of them are islands, and there are still many undeveloped.

The population is not considered rich, and it is at the bottom of the five major countries. Apart from marine resources, there are almost no other resources in the country.

The entire country relies heavily on fisheries and ocean trade from finance to people's livelihood, and even agriculture cannot be self-sufficient because of the small amount of arable land on the islands.

Simply put, the economy is controlled by people.

Once there is a war with mainland countries, it is easy to be blocked out.

In Hanzo's view, this country does not have the capital to influence the entire ninja world.

Hanzo, who hopes to end the war, is naturally not inclined to use the kingdom of water as his foundation.

As for farming, he was just an otaku in his previous life. He was neither Mr. Yuan nor an agricultural expert.

If agriculture is not prosperous, the country's population will not grow. If the population is insufficient, the number of ninjas will not be large. How can a weak force make the ninja world listen to you?

On the contrary, it would be much easier to influence the kingdom of water based on the kingdom of fire.

The Land of Fire is the largest trading partner of the Land of Water. From the perspective of the Land of Fire, it is not impossible to rely on economic influence to even control the Land of Water.

Of course, the premise is that the Fire Nation has enough strength to suppress them, otherwise they will become fat sheep of the Water Nation.

Therefore, Hanzo's migration strategy is fundamentally just to avoid the limelight.

Once the Shimada clan leaves the field, Senju and Uchiha will inevitably start a fierce battle.

The Shimada clan can recuperate outside until the two clans are exhausted, and they can reap the benefits of fishing.

Therefore, Hanzo hopes to leave Senju and Uchiha who are evenly matched for Fire Nation, so that the war between the two clans can continue and the Shimada clan can get more time to develop.

"So Chief Kagahiko still thinks that there is no future with the Shimada clan?"

As soon as the temporary meeting was over, Hanzo approached Hinata Kagehiko, and almost confided his plan to him.

Of course, now that the words have come to this point, Hanzo will not allow Hinata Kagehiko to retreat completely.

Either he stayed with the Shimada clan, or he had to keep the secret.

And at the moment when the forbidden technique of reincarnation in dirty soil has not yet appeared, the dead are the people who can best keep secrets.

At this time, under Hanzo's armor, the black dragon's pattern had begun to flicker faintly.

"This"

Hinata Kaghihiko pondered, from his point of view, the completeness and hugeness of Hanzo's plan shocked him.

Once successful, the Shimada clan will dominate the Fire Ninja Ninja world, and they are expected to gain a stable and reliable ally with certain strength.

As long as the Fire Nation is unified and an ally of a major country is added, even if the remaining three major countries join forces, they don't need to be afraid.

As for the probability of success, although it is not high, if it is performed by any ninja clan in today's ninja world, it will not have a higher probability of success than the Shimada clan.

Hyuga Kaghihiko also knew that although the Shimada clan suffered huge losses in this battle, their foundation was not damaged.

To put it simply, in the New Year, none of Hanzo and Genji died.

It's like the Uchiha clan, which lost more than the Shimada clan a few years ago, but Uchiha Tajima is still alive, even if there are only four or five Jonin left, the Uchiha clan can still make a comeback.

What's more, the Shimada clan still has more than ten jonin and more than [-] ninjas of their own clan.

However, even so, Hyuga Kaghiko still hesitated.

After all, these are the prospects of the Shimada clan. What does it have to do with the Hyuga clan? What Hyuga Kagahiko needs is the commitment of the Shimada clan.

Hanzo has also been observing Hinata Kyouhiko's expression.

After a while, Hyuga Kaghiko, who had a gloomy expression, finally spoke. He only heard him say: "Hanzo-dono's plan is indeed perfect, but I don't know what the Hyuga clan will get in the future."

Hanzo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and the faintly flickering dragon pattern under his armor also calmed down.

As long as Hinata Kagahiko is willing to ask for benefits.

They will try their best to help the Shimada clan only if they have interests.

If Hinata Kyouhiko really didn't want anything, Hanzo would doubt his intentions.

"Captain Kagahiko, there is no need to worry. I can promise that whatever status our Shimada clan will have in the future, the Hyuga clan will also enjoy the same status. How about the two clans retire together?"

Hinata Kagehiko was overjoyed when he heard the words, although he knew that because of strength, even if the Shimada clan gave them the same status, the Hyuga clan might not be able to compare with the Shimada clan.

But with this promise, it is guaranteed that the Hyuga clan will be able to sit firmly in the second place in the future, at least tied for second with others.

Hyuga Kaghihiko also knew that these were just Hanzo paintings, but the Hyuga clan had no better choice.

Should I join Senju or Uchiha now?

If the Shimada clan has nowhere to go, then Hyuga Kaghihiko may have to choose between the ugly death and the ugly life.

But the Shimada family obviously still has a way to go now, and it is not a corner road. Naturally, Hyuga Kaghiko does not want the Hyuga family to even be under the Ikacho and Sarutobi families in the future.

"In that case, we have a happy cooperation, Your Excellency Hanzo." Hinata Kaghihiko stretched out his right hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

Hanzo also smiled and held Hinata Kyouhiko's right hand.

After bidding farewell to Patriarch Hyuga, Hanzo returned to Shinen.

Chung Nian was leaning against a branch.

Genji sat on a branch above Chung Nian.

Seeing Hanzo coming, Zhongnian said with some expectancy: "It's time to appease him."

Hanzo nodded and said, "The Hyuga clan should have no major problems."

Chong Nian breathed a sigh of relief, patted Hanzo on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "This time it is indeed because of my conceit that the family has fallen to this point, it's hard for you."

Hanzo shook his head: "It's not difficult, after all, the Shimada family is also my family."

Chong Nian sighed, and said: "It seems that I am really old, and what the family will do in the future depends on you, son."

Hanzo nodded silently, and said: "Let's get ready to contact the Daimyo of the Land of Water when we go back. We must leave the Land of Fire before Senju and Uchiha's next attack."
