The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 141 New Era

Three days passed quickly, and Hanzo also celebrated his birthday.

Early in the morning, Hanzo wore a formal kimono and arrived outside the residence of the Shimada clan to welcome all the guests who came to watch the ceremony.

The first ones to arrive were the Hyuga clan.

"Your Excellency Hanzo, congratulations, you must be the head of the Hanzo clan soon."

Hinata Kaghihiko said to Hanzo with a smile.

Hyuga Yoichi, the young patriarch of the Hyuga Clan who followed behind, couldn't help laughing.

The two clans are the closest allies, and Hyuga Kaghihiko and Hyuga Yoichi are also very familiar with Hanzo, so it is natural to speak casually with each other.

"Clan leader Kagamihiko, stop teasing me." Hanzo said with a helpless smile, "Go in, both of you, father is already waiting inside."

"Okay, we won't delay you any longer, so we'll go ahead." Hinata Kaghihiko and his son casually said a few more words to Hanzo before saying.

"Well, hurry up, please."

Besides the Hyuga clan, the second one to come is the Daming House.

Naturally, Daming would not come here in person, the person who came here on behalf of Daming Mansion is the current highest official of Daming Mansion, Da Lao.

After a few pleasantries, Hanzo welcomed the elder in with the same courtesy.

Afterwards, guests from all parties came in an endless stream.

Ganshi Zhaoyi, Huiye Qingyuan, Shui Wuyuelan and others also came in person one after another.

There are also some business and traveling celebrities who are relatively close to the Shimada family.

Hanzo was not very familiar with these people, but the housekeeper Yoshito had more dealings with these people on weekdays.

Normally, the Shimada clan would not invite them yet.

However, thinking that after the main family left, the ones handing over to them would become the sub-family with average strength. In order to leave a harmonious relationship network for the sub-family, the Shimada clan decided to invite all these people over.

Soon, all the guests arrived.

Hanzo also brought the others back to the patriarch's residence, ready to start today's schedule.

The first is the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Hanzo, come with me."

The person who came to pick up Hanzo and go to the ceremony platform built by the family earlier was the Great Elder.

Watching Hanzo grow from a young boy to a pillar of the family day by day, Shimada Tsurumatsu also sighed.

As he walked, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the jade wrench on his right index finger, which represented the Great Elder.

In a daze, he remembered what his predecessor, Shimada Hidecho, had said when he handed the finger to him.

"Uncle Xiuchang, even the first year has retired, next, it should be the age of young people..." the elder said silently in his heart.

No matter how long the road is, there will be time to finish it.

When he got near the stage, the Great Elder retired and returned to his seat to observe the ceremony.

Looking at the road leading to the ceremony, as well as the people on both sides of the road who were watching the ceremony, including family members, Hanzo took a deep breath and walked forward firmly.

Stepping up the steps step by step, Chung Nian was already waiting for him here.

Looking at his son, Chong Nian's eyes were full of pride, then he turned to all the guests and said, "Everyone, welcome to my Shimada Clan to watch the ceremony today."

After the new year, the people from all parties below also burst into applause.

No matter what attitude you have towards the Shimada clan in your heart.

But no one is the mortal enemy of the Shimada clan.

In this case, if you lose face of the Shimada clan, you will really die forever.

Obviously there is no such person at the moment, and everyone is saving face.

Chong Nian nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Hanzo: "First of all, it's the coming-of-age ceremony."

Unlike the coming-of-age ceremony of the nobles, which has two procedures of hair binding and crowning, ninjas usually wear their hair to show their adulthood.

Of course, hair bundles are generally only required at coming-of-age ceremonies.

After the ceremony, there are no demands.

I saw Hanzo put his hands together, bowed slightly, and turned his back to Chungnian, who tied up Hanzo's loose hair with a string.

"It's done." Shinen put down his hands, and Hanzo also turned around, looking at his father.

Chunian said happily: From today on, you are an adult, Hanzo, remember, the most important thing for an adult is to know your responsibilities. "

"I understand, father." Hanzo nodded seriously.

New Year didn't say any more.

For Hanzo, who has almost taken charge of the Shimada clan since he was 13 years old, a lot of chicken soup is completely unnecessary, so it is better to save it and wait a few years to tell Genji.

Thinking about it, Chong Nian glanced at Genji who was watching the ceremony below.

"Hiss...why do you feel a little cold all of a sudden?" Genji shivered suddenly, a little confused.

……

Next, is the ceremony of the handover of the patriarch.

I saw the Great Elder walking up with a tray in person, walking up to Hanzo and Chongnian.

Chong Nian stretched out his right hand and took off the wrench on his index finger.

Put it on the tray.

The ring finger representing the patriarch is somewhat different from the ring finger of the great elder.

The whole production is much more refined.

From the outside, it looks like a green dragon with its head and tail.

Hanzang was silent for a moment, bowed to Zhongnian and the Great Elder each, then picked up the wrench and put it on his right index finger.

This time, before the guests sitting in front had time to applaud, the clansmen standing behind watching the ceremony applauded thunderously.

"Patriarch! Patriarch! Patriarch! Patriarch..."

The voices of the tide sounded at the same time.

People who don't know much about the internal situation of the Shimada clan are surprised.

They never expected that Hanzo, the new patriarch, would have such prestige in the family.

Especially Qianshi Chaoyi, who was helped by the elders to the patriarch's seat, seemed to be fascinated by the lemon.

Hanzo waited for a while, then stretched out his hands and pressed, signaling the excited clansmen to calm down.

Few people in the Warring States period were short-sighted, so the excited shouts gradually subsided.

Seeing this, everyone once again had a high opinion of Hanzo's control over the Shimada clan.

"Everyone, today I rely on the family to trust me and let me inherit the position of patriarch. Today, I swear here that I will definitely make the family better and better, and lead the family to realize the family dream for many years..."

Hanzo's speech made the many members of the family excited again.

There was endless applause and shouts.

Even Minazuki Arashi is thinking, with such a family as the backing, maybe he can be more polite to the Shimada branch in the future.

After a while, Hanzo pressed his hands again: "Everyone, next, welcome everyone to my wedding with Ms. Terumi Kaoru."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Hurry up and drink the patriarch's wedding wine..."

"..."

As soon as Hanzo's words came out, all the clan members burst into laughter, turned around and walked towards the family's expanded hall.

Hanzo, Chongnian, and the Great Elder also stepped down from the stage.

"Your Excellency, Chief Lan, and Chief Kaghiko, please." These were the guests led by Hanzo and Chongnian.

The Great Elder approached Kaguya Qingyuan and Kanshi Chaoichi.

Genji, as Hanzo's younger brother, leads Terumei and his wife.

The rest of the elders also led the guests to the hall...
