Chapter:52

What's more, all the four clans have their clan leaders personally on the front line, leaving only the elders or deputies in charge of logistics in the clan, and they don't even know the name "Kaido".

Trade Town is a small town located in the northwest border area. It can be described as "a mixed place of robbery and theft".

Civilians, traders, ninjas, samurai, all kinds of people can be seen here.

Shimura Keizo had already sent someone to book a hotel as a place for negotiations with the four tribes.

After arriving at the destination, representatives of the four tribes have also arrived.

Their clan leaders were all killed in the previous wars, and now the elders act as their representatives. Therefore, the negotiators who arrived all had white beards and white hair.

"Chief Shimura, please sit down."

Elder Watanabe stood up and held up his hands, making a "please" gesture to Shimura Keizo.

The four of them have been here for many days. After all, based on distance, they are much closer here.

Keizo Shimura squinted his eyes and nodded before sitting down.

"I wonder why the Shimura clan leader personally went out to find our four clans this time?"

The gray-bearded elder Onikawa was the first to ask.

"Are you still pretending to be stupid for me?"

Shimura Keizo sneered inwardly and became even more unhappy.

"You all fought against the Uchiha clan not long ago. Our Shimura Sarutobi clan kindly wanted to support you, but the envoys we sent were intercepted and killed by mysterious forces,"

Shimura Keizo said in an indifferent tone: "This matter...don't the four elders think that we, the two tribes, should be given a reasonable explanation?"

As soon as these words came out, the four representative elders and the guards standing behind them were all shocked.

Sarutobi and the Shimura clan also planned to participate in the war before?

Never heard of this!

The four old men looked at each other. Elder Watanabe coughed dryly and explained: "I'm afraid the Shimura clan leader doesn't know something. We are the clan leaders of the four clans and have come to the front. We old bones are only responsible for reinforcements from the rear and to the four clans." It can be said that we don't know the specific conditions of the battlefield, let alone the fact that the Sarutobi Shimura clan is also preparing to participate in the war."

"Hmph! Do you know how much combat power I, Shimura, and Sarutobi have lost! Do you want to mention it in one sentence without knowing it? You were the ones who shamelessly begged us for reinforcements in the first place!"

Keizo Shimura slapped the round table hard, and the crack marks spread. It felt like the wooden table would turn into powder in the next second.

The elders of the four tribes and the ninjas of the four tribes standing nearby frowned, and they could not help but feel angry in their hearts.

First, they are telling the truth, they really don't know.

Second, Shimura Keizo's attitude is too arrogant. You Shimura Sarutobi are strong, but why should we be held responsible for things we haven't done?

In fact, Shimura Keizo had lost his calm at this time and was unable to think carefully about the details and clues of the incident, but it was still within the scope of understanding.

After all, no ninja clan in the Warring States Period could afford so much high-end combat power, not to mention that compared to his grandson Danzo Shimura, his personality was less formal and more fiery.

Among the four clans, the clan leader of the Watanabe clan, which can be said to be the strongest, said in vain: "Then what clan clan leader Shimura means, do you think we can kill the ninjas of the two clans?"

The four tribes that had originally canceled their alliance now use the title "we", which means that at this moment, the four tribes have decided to join forces to fight against the Shimura and Sarutobi tribes.

"Hmph! I didn't say that, but we have lost so many people, and we need everyone from the four tribes to give us an explanation."

Shimura Keizo is not a fool. As long as he uses his brain a little bit, he can figure out that there is no benefit to the four northwest tribes from killing Shimura and them.

Even if it's for food, that batch of food was originally intended for them, so it doesn't make sense.

What's more, Shimura Tensho, who has quasi-kage-level strength, has no ninja of his level among the four tribes who can face him head-on.

What Keizo Shimura wants now is compensation.

It was enough to cover the "compensation" of more than two dozen Jonin who had lost their lives.

The four elders present were all old foxes in their sixties, and they had vaguely guessed Shimura Keizo's true thoughts.

But they can't take it out at all!

They had just spent a large sum of money to redeem the prisoners captured by Uchiha not long ago.

Do we still have to spend a huge sum of money to deal with Shimura Keizo?

What's more, the Uchiha side has prisoners of their own clan members, and they can barely accept it if they have to spend money to ransom them.

In their view, Shimura Keizo's behavior was more like asking for a high price.

I don't know what you're talking about at all. Is there really a death in your family? Even if someone is dead, I didn't kill him. Why should I give you money?.
