Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 125: Third Hokage

“In the end, I still have to stay in Konoha..”.

Masahiko sighed, seeing the two Hyuga twins practicing Gentle Fist.

After he found out that Tobirama did not have much time left, Masahiko chose to stay. Deep down, only a few people he considers to be living families, namely Tobirama, Mito, and his three students. As for Kenji, Mashirama, Tsunade, and Yuna they were young, although they also had a special place in her heart, it was the kind of relationship where she always tried to take good care of them.

As for the Uzumaki clan, being unreliable, he looked at the three children who had taken the Joint Examination of Jonin before, Masahiko had to send the Shadow Clone back to the clan for personal guidance.

“I can't protect them forever, I eliminate every threat that comes near us in the Second Shinobi World War, but I hope they will become stronger and have the power to protect the clan in the Third Shinobi World War.”

Masahiko believed that this was necessary.

After returning from Mount Myoboku, almost half a year had passed. 26 years had passed since the founding of Konoha, but Masahiko had no time to relax, his attributes had reached a limit and could not be improved any more, so he focused all his energy on Soft Fist.

After half a year of concentration, Masahiko raised the Gentle Fist level to LV6, almost reaching LV7.

Soft Boxing LV6 (588990/60000)

LV6 Gentle Fist, after he confirmed it, Masahiko discovered that the level of Hyuga Patriarch was also close to him, but when he asked for the Gentle Fist secret technique, he found that there was no way for him to practice it. He couldn't change his eyes, it wasn't worth it. To be honest, he never wanted the Byakugan, and of course, he didn't like being a bird in a cage; he loved to fly…

“However, the experience value is very high, just like other attributes, so I assumed the Soft Boxing technique might also give me a nice surprise.”

It was this thought that actually prompted him to continue practicing Gentle Fist.

In front of him, the two boys had finished their routine and were standing there staring at him excitedly, looking for guidance.

However, they had no idea how far Masahiko's thoughts floated, and how he hadn't noticed what the two of them were doing.

“Workout is good, but I will say it again for you, you have to find your weakness.”.

Masahiko suddenly stopped there, and a familiar Anbu appeared in front of them.

Masahiko smiled, “Sakumo, what's up?”

“Kakek Masahiko, Hokage-Sama looking for you.”

In the last half year, Sakumo learned to call Masahiko by Grandpa to make the delivery of information more smoothly.

“Tobirama looking for me?” Masahiko pondered, then nodded, “I understand.”

Sakumo turned around, then Masahiko muttered emotionally, “It should be about the selection of the Third Hokage.”

He came to the Hokage Building, to unexpectedly find three elders gathered there.

The three elders had the same appearance, old, old, and they were all white-haired. Youngest Izumi Uchiha is 57 years old.

Expect from Patriarch Hyuga, who saw Masahiko from time to time, the other two looked complicated.

“Kakek Masahiko, you look healthy.” Uchiha Izumi spoke slowly.

Masahiko nodded with a smile, “It looks like so.” Masahiko knew that although they did not know his exact age, they probably guessed that he was at least ninety years old.

But that's just it. As for why Masahiko had such a long lifespan, how strong he was, or even what special seal technique Uzumaki had that led to this, they did not know, and clearly, did, they can't just ask. Tobirama is not easy to talk to, and no one can really understand Masahiko's nonsense.

Seeing how everyone became silent, Tobirama took the initiative to speak.

“I assume that everyone in this room has speculated the reason behind this meeting. Soon we will celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of this great village. After that, a new Hokage will replace me, and this council of elders will be dissolved.”

Tobirama looked to the right and to the left, then said, “For the position of Third Hokage, I nominated two candidates, Hiruzen and Danzo. What do you think?”

The three elders looked at each other, Izumi looked hesitant, but she shook her head and said nothing.

He has hope in his heart that Kagami will become Hokage, but he knows it is only a wish.

It was a pity that the successor of the Nara Patriarch was not the genius type. Amongst Tobirama's six disciples, he couldn't even compare to a civilian ninja like Mitokado, he was only slightly stronger than Utatane, who was actually a medical shinobi.

As for Patriarch Hyuuga.

“Because this is the case, I will ask you all to work on the settings. Also, tell all the other clans and see if they have any candidates they wish to nominate. ” Tobirama added.

Masahiko froze for a moment, “Tobirama, it seems like you have nothing to say to me, then why did you call me?”

“Second Grandfather, there's something else I want to say. I hope that during my remaining tenure, we can officially work to arrange an alliance with the Uzumaki Clan.”

Masahiko.

Tobirama was worried about the village in the ensuing war because Konoha had no ties, and Masahiko no longer contributed, and Uzumaki ended up parting ways with Konoha for many years.

Masahiko shook his head, “No, Mito is still here ..” In his heart, he knows that Uzumaki and Konoha will have a strong relationship in the coming years because of Minato and Kushina, he knows that he will have a strong relationship in the future, so a piece of paper won't do it either.

Tobirama hesitated for a moment, then he seemed to understand Masahiko's words, “Alright then.”

With this, the meeting of the elders ended, which happened to be the last meeting of these elders.

One month later, Masahiko was watching Sarutobi wearing Hokage robes and hats while feeling a little stunned.

Masahiko watched him stand on stage and preach to all Konoha residents, civilians, and shinobi: “When the tree dances, people will find fire. The shadow of fire will light up the village, and once again, the leaves of the trees will sprout again. For those who have the Will of Fire, everyone is a family. The desire to protect the family builds a thicker and stronger bond between each and everyone in the village.”

(T/N: The first sentence is actually his last words in the original language. The second sentence is taken from his monologue to Konohamaro.)

This familiar figure and familiar words made Masahiko's mind drift.

The ceremony is over, and the civilians gradually leave, and Sarutobi receives the blessing of Mito, his teammates and his students.

Danzo was also around, a little reluctant, but Masahiko also noticed a hint of genuine joy and blessing.

“Danzo... what exactly changed that cold conspirator man? “

The long-awaited Chinese character finally appears and disturbs Masahiko's anticipation.

“Take and change a little main story of Naruto World: Third Hokage Selection, get 30(*2) witness points.”

“So, this time just a small change?” Masahiko thought for a moment, then nodded.

“If I let Danzo become Hokage, I assumed I would be rewarded with 300 witness points, but it's still good that it ended like this.”

Time flows, and Masahiko gets some unexpected gains. Due to a minor incident between him and Uchiha Kagame, Sarutobi's council changes from the beginning, hoping for Danzo, the other two change, and they are the twin fathers of Uchiha Kagame and Hyuga.

This change actually gave Masahiko 20 witness points.

“True, the closer to the original plot, the more events I can get witness points.. If the plot does not collapse, I probably will.”.
