Chapter 52: Chapter:51
Although he showed 100% confidence in Izuna's decision at the celebration banquet, he was actually very curious inside and couldn't figure out why Shimura Keizo did what he did.
"Led by Shimurari of the Shimura family and Sarutobi Domoto of the Sarutobi family, a total of 24 masters above the Jonin level from the two families died at the hands of Hagoromo's men."
24 masters above the Jonin level are dead!
Even with Madara's character, when he heard the news, he subconsciously opened his mouth wide.
Even Uchiha and Senju couldn't ignore this level of loss.
This is no longer just losing a layer of skin, it's completely stabbing the lungs!
Immediately, Madara had an idea and asked urgently: "Why did they fight with Hagoromo?"
This is another question.
Why did Shimura, after Uchiha and the other four clans, get involved with Hagoromo, whose clan had been exterminated by Izuna?
Izuna smiled and said: "I made a little plan, but don't ask about the specific incident, brother."
"Anyway, you just need to know that the Sarutobi Shimura clan is also greatly weakened now. If the four clans are united, our Uchiha victory is almost certain, but be careful not to overuse the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Madara looked directly at Izuna, and after a moment he laughed dumbly, "Izuna, I feel like I can't see through you now."
Izuna shrugged and chuckled. After the two brothers chatted for a while,Izuna mentioned that he would be leaving the clan for a while.
Hearing that Izuna was leaving the clan temporarily, Madara was naturally a little worried, but he was not worried about Izuna's safety.
With Izuna's current strength,he dare not say that he is invincible in the world. At least if he wants to leave, Madara thinks no one can stop him.
The main reason is that when there is a war between the Sarutobi Shimura clan and the four northwest clans later, and he wants to lead his army to intervene, who will be in charge of the clan?
To this question, Izuna said it doesn't matter. He will leave a shadow clone in the clan, just like the trick that Uzumaki Naruto will use in the future when he becomes Hokage.
As long as the main body is not severely damaged or the chakra is exhausted, the shadow clone will not disappear.
What's more,he don't plan to go for a long time this time, so the shadow clone should be enough.
On the other side, both Senju and Uchiha sent out reconnaissance ninjas to secretly observe the movements of Shimura Keizo and his party.
They also canceled the tracking after the other party entered the northwest plain. After all, the terrain there was a canyon plain with a vast and endless view.
Shimura Keizo is also a shadow-level powerhouse. In this case, unless he has a pig brain, there is no way he will not be able to tell that someone is following him.
However, after tracking this, all tribes can almost predict where Shimura Keizo will go.
Including the clan leader Shimura Keizo, there were a total of thirty-one teams. At this time, a Chuunin elite from Shimura said: "Clan leader, we are about to enter Trade Town."
Shimura Keizang nodded gloomily and did not answer a word.
Anyone who is not blind can see that he is in a bad mood.
In fact, Shimura Keizo's bad mood didn't start from this day long ago.
Shimura Keizo has been in a bad mood since the news came back two months ago that his deputy, Shimura jonins, the strongest person in the clan second only to him, had died.
Not only the quasi-kage-level but also ten Shimura jounin, four special jounin, and Sarutobi's ten jonin, all died on the official road from the Sarutobi Shimura tribe to Trade Town.
Who can kill?
I don't know, no one survived.
Among them, Shimura jonin's body didn't know where it went, and only a head was left at the scene.
After that, the four northwest tribes represented by "kaido" did not show any expression, and kaido himself seemed to have disappeared from the world, never appearing in front of himself and others again.
As one of the top ninja clans in the Warring States Period, how could Shimura Keizo swallow this sigh of relief when so many family elites died?
Since kaido won't come, then he will do it himself!
The impact of this incident on the clan was too great, and Sarutobi and Shimura could no longer tolerate any losses.
The two clan leaders jointly discussed with the senior leaders, and finally decided that Shimura Keizo, a shadow-level powerhouse, would personally take action as an envoy to the four clans to find out the matter clearly.
But there is still one thing that remains unclear, that is, which of the four tribes does Kaido belong to?
All the time, when he infiltrated the Sarutobi Shimura clan, he claimed to be one of the "four clans", but Shimura Keizo and the others didn't know which clan he was from, including Fuma, Watanabe, Saito, and Onikawa.
Now that the war is over, these four tribes have long since dissolved their alliance and are living their own lives.
In the end, Shimura Keizo simply wrote four letters and distributed them to the four tribes, asking them to meet for negotiations in a small town on the northwest border, the "Trade Town" where the food exchange was originally planned.
The name of Sarutobi Shimura's second clan was still very intimidating, and the four clan immediately responded and sent representatives to TradeTown.
Although they didn't understand what Keizo Shimura wanted from them, because in front-line operations, in addition to food, weapons and other logistical issues that required reinforcements from the rear, the specific information about the battle situation was generally not disclosed to the rear.
