Chapter 791 The Conspiracy of the Council of Elders
(The title of the previous chapter has been changed to Night Raid on Hanamura. If there are duplicate chapter names, you can refresh it.)
The Shimada family, as a huge criminal empire spanning Japan, once had a huge influence on the entire world.
After the Omnic Crisis ended, Overwatch began to work towards world peace and stability, so the Shimada family, which was at its peak at the time, was targeted by Overwatch.
Overwatch wanted to disintegrate the entire Shimada Empire, and they destroyed many branches of the Shimada family around the world, causing great damage to the Shimada family.
But not long after, Overwatch was disbanded for unknown reasons, and Commander Morrison and Blackwatch Chief Reyes were also missing, which gave the Shimada Empire a chance to make a comeback.
“I heard that the Overwatch people are back again.” said an elder.
They all knew that when Talon's Reaper and Widowmaker tried to steal Doomfist's gloves, Overwatch's Tracer and Winston came out to stop them.
You know, Overwatch has been disbanded for six or seven years, especially after the signing of the Petra Decree, they disappeared and no one knew where they went. But now Overwatch is back, which is a huge threat to the Shimada family.
"I know." Shimada Eiichiro said, "But Overwatch is no longer a legal organization. They are just mercenaries. And the situation in the world is different now. Wars and conflicts are constant. If our Shimada family wants to rise again, we need powerful allies!"
"So you are going abroad this time just to seek allies?" another elder asked with a puzzled expression.
"That's right." Shimada Eiichiro nodded and continued, "I went to Ilios to meet with Maximilian, a senior executive of Black Claw. He is very interested in our arms. Perhaps we can reach a cooperation."
"Black Claw?" an elder said, "You know how dangerous those guys are. They only like to create chaos in the world. They are complete lunatics. If we cooperate with them, we will probably get into trouble!"
"No." Shimada Eiichiro shook his head and said, "Times are changing, and we should change too. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. I know that Black Claw has done many bad things behind the scenes, but they are our only chance to make a comeback..."
After hearing what the head of the Shimada family said, the elders present were silent. Shimada Eiichiro took a sip of tea and said, "In the past, the Shimada family has always relied on the power of the dragon, and the people of the dragon lineage have always ruled us. Now, our family no longer needs the power of the dragon. As long as we rely on ourselves, we will be strong enough!"
"Is there any news about Shimada Hanzo?" asked an elder.
"People in our family have been searching for clues about Hanzo, but have not found any trace of him. He is probably still blaming himself for killing his brother. He only comes back every year on the anniversary of Genji's death. He is no longer a threat to us." said another elder.
"These two brothers are as stupid as their father." Shimada Eiichiro sneered, "We poisoned Shimada Sojiro's wine glass at the beginning. They thought Sojiro died accidentally."
"Yes." The elders also sneered and said, "They were so stupid that they didn't even discover our conspiracy until the end."
"Although young Genji is gifted with intelligence, he is addicted to games. We used this to provoke Hanzo and sow discord between the brothers, turning them against each other. Then they drew their swords against each other, and Hanzo accidentally killed Genji. In the end, he gave up being the head of the family and left the Shimada family. It was really killing two birds with one stone!"
This was the conspiracy of the Council of Elders. Since the Shenlong lineage had ruled the Shimada family for thousands of years, others gradually became dissatisfied. So the ambitious Council of Elders first poisoned and killed the previous head of the Shimada family, Shimada Sojiro, and then instigated the relationship between the Genji and Hanzo. Hanzo was forced to kill his brother, and finally he left the family.
From now on, the Shimada family will no longer be bound by the Shenlong lineage, and the Council of Elders will rule the entire Shimada family. This is a new era for them!
"Cheers to our new era." Shimada Eiichiro raised his teacup and said.
"We will use tea instead of wine today."
"Thanks to the Shenlong lineage, if they were still here, there would be no future for our Elder Council!"
Just as he said this, the door of the reception room was suddenly opened, and a man stood outside the door. When the elders saw the man's face, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Han...Zang?!"
They didn't expect that Hanzo was standing outside. At this moment, Hanzo's expression was extremely angry. He heard it, he heard it all. He heard the conspiracy of the Elder Council. It turned out that the death of his father Shimada Sojiro and the fratricide between him and Genji were actually all caused by the Elder Council!
Sojiro Shimada's face looked very ugly. He originally thought that Hanzo had long left Japan, but now that he appeared here, it meant that he might never have left Japan.
Why didn't anyone inform him that Hanzo was back? Because all the guards outside were killed by Hanzo. While the elders were drinking tea and holding a meeting here, Hanzo had already entered Hanamura, defeated all the guards, and came to the headquarters quietly, but they didn't know at all.
"Hanzo, listen to my explanation. I have nothing to do with the murder of your father." An elder said with a fearful expression. At this point, he wanted to sever ties with the Elder Council.
"Go down and talk to my father in person." Hanzo shot an arrow without any hesitation. The sharp arrow broke through the air and instantly pierced the elder's chest.
Although he showed mercy to the guards outside, he would not be merciful to the elders. It was them who made him and his brother become enemies. He almost killed Genji. They were also the murderers of his father. They must all die!
Thinking of this, Hanzo shot another arrow. This was not an ordinary arrow, but a split arrow. The split arrow exploded and turned into countless fragments in the small room. The other two elders were shot dead. In a blink of an eye, only one person was left in the entire elder council, and he was also the current head of the Shimada family - Shimada Eiichiro.
Eiichiro reacted quickly. He flipped the coffee table to the ground, then hid behind it to avoid Hanzo's attack. He said in a deep voice: "Hanzo, I am your uncle. Are you going to kill me too?"
"You killed your brother for power, you don't deserve to be my uncle!" Just as Hanzo was about to shoot another arrow, Eiichiro rushed out of the reception room directly, breaking through the paper door and coming out.
He quickly took out his cell phone and found that he could not contact the guards outside. He dialed another number, which would be his last hope.
Eiichiro ran while talking on the phone, and soon he arrived at the hall. He saw a futon on the ground not far away, with a samurai sword placed on the futon. There was a painting on the wall with the four words "竜头蛇尾" on it.
The phrase "dragon head and snake tail" is a metaphor for a grand beginning and a declining end. The Shimada family represents the past of Genji and Hanzo. Hanzo has always been a model successor with excellent grades and young success, while Genji is a playboy who often gets into trouble.
A dragon at the beginning but a snake at the end, this is just like the portrayal of the Shimada brothers.
Just when Eiichiro was about to run out of the hall, Hanzo caught up with him and shot another arrow. The sharp arrow flew past his cheek and pierced the painting with a dragon-like head and a snake's tail.
There was a cut on Eiichiro's face immediately. Hanzo shot it off target on purpose.
"Eiichiro, why did you kill your brother?" Hanzo said coldly, holding up the arrow. "My father was so good to you. He made you the head of the elders' council. In order to become the head of the family, you killed him?"
"What do you know?" Eiichiro said with a gloomy face, "Sojiro was born with the power of a dragon, but I don't. Your grandfather doted on Sojiro and ignored me. I always felt it was unfair. Why don't I have it?"
"It was not until you and Genji were born that I realized that our Shimada family does not need the dragon. Only by completely making the dragon extinct can I become the real ruler of the Shimada family."
"Power makes you lose yourself," Hanzo said.
"Do you know? Before his death, your father begged me not to hurt you and Genji. He begged me to let you go because he knew I wanted to completely eradicate the Shenlong lineage..."
"enough!"
Hanzo didn't want to listen anymore, he raised the Storm Bow and said: "Today I will avenge my father!"
Just as he shot the arrow, a black shadow suddenly jumped out. It was a masked female ninja. The female ninja blocked Hanzo's attack with the long sword in her hand.
At the same time, black shadows appeared. They were more than a dozen masked ninjas in black. Hanzo's face changed immediately, because these were the shadow ninjas of the Shimada family, their elite force.
Ever since Eiichiro Shimada became a member of the Shimada family, this elite force has become his subordinates. Just now he called the Shadow Ninja and asked them to come and rescue him.
"Shadow Moon." Hanzo looked at the leading female ninja and said, "Long time no see."
"Master Hanzo." The female ninja named Shadow Moon whispered, "You shouldn't have come back."
"This is my home." Hanzo said in a deep voice, "I will kill the enemy who killed my father!"
Hanzo wanted to take out new arrows, and his hand reached for the quiver behind him. He was surprised to find that there was no sword in the quiver. After the fierce battle in Hanamura, all the arrows he had prepared had been shot.
The Shadow Ninjas surrounded him, and Shadow Moon said coldly: "Master Hanzo, surrender!"
Hanzo's eyes were serious, and he held the longbow in his hand. At this moment, a green figure fell from the sky. William landed beside him and asked, "Do you need my help?"
I went to have my teeth cleaned yesterday and it was so painful.
