Naruto: Long Live Hokage's
Chapter 134: Treasure of War
When the war ended, Masahiko sat down to recover his chakra.
He used many Shadow Clones and also summoned snails to heal the clan members, so he pretty much exhausted all of his Chakras.
The unharmed clan was clearing the battlefield, and Masahiko could sense that some clan members had risen during this war both physically and spiritually. But there are also things that make him sad. In this war, Uzumaki lost more than 70 clans; most of them before Masahiko joined the battlefield.
This clan always seemed to suffer when Masahiko left it.
There were also many injuries, but there was nothing as severe as a loss of limp.
About an hour later, Yuriko came to Masahiko, “Sensei, we've cleared the battlefield. Nanako personally sealed the Chakra of the hundred resisting shinobi. What should we do with the others?”
Masahiko nodded and stood up, he had recovered most of his chakra back then.
“First put them in jail, then let's bury others who died in the war.”
Yuriko nodded, the last time Uzumaki needed to hold a massive funeral was when they fought against the Kaguya Clan.
Funerals were held on the second day of the war. Gensuke is the one who made the arrangements.
After the funeral, postwar trivia was included on the agenda.
The spoils of war, other than some ninja bomb paper, the most significant harvest was the three Legendary Fog Swords seized by Kenichiro.
Masahiko could not remember them one by one, but still, he could guess which one they were after testing their abilities.
They are sewing needles, Nuibari, helmet dividers, Kabutowari, and splash, Shibuki. Masahiko could not use any of them, so he handed it to Kenichiro, it was his loot.
In addition, they gained another advantage from the Left ninja, who surrendered.
After being interrogated, the supplies of the Uzumaki Ninjutsu Clan became more numerous. Originally, due to Masahiko's own reasons, other than the Water Element he didn't master, another Ninjutsu collection was enough. Water Releases are an additional type.
Masahiko supports some common Ninjutsu but does not touch the secret of water release. He did not lack any special abilities to use at the moment. In addition, there are so many Ninjutsu to choose from.
At the end of the interrogation, the disposal of these enemy prisoners of war was put on the agenda.
There is no such thing as slavery in the Shinobi World, and allowing these ninja to join the Uzumaki Clan is inconclusive. Also, it felt a bit bad to kill them all. So, after careful consideration, Masahiko made a decision.
“Will ask Kirigakure to make up for it, and ask for more supplies as price.”
Yuriko hesitated, “Sensei, what if Kirigakure is unwilling to make up for it?”
Masahiko smiled, shook his head, “Then we told over 100 of these frustrated people that Kirigakure did not want to redeem them, and we freed them.”
Yuriko freezes for a moment, “Let them go?” After a while, he nodded in agreement.
“There is one more important thing about Kumogakure.” Masahiko spoke slowly, “Kumogakure has suffered a huge loss this time around. In our last confrontation, I killed the Third Raikage, Jinchuriki of Nibi and Hachibi, there was no way for them to rise after that, he said, I fear they will lose their seat as one of the Main Villagers.”
“Yuriko, have you ever thought of taking the next step for the Uzumaki Clan and becoming one of the five?”
Yuriko froze for a moment and sank into contemplation.
On the side, Gensuke shook his head, “Great Elder, we ..”
Yuriko raised her head, “Sensei, forget it, the Uzumaki Clan is not suitable for the establishment of such a village, and is not qualified in terms of strength.”
“Why not, don't we have a Great Elder?” Gensuke intervened again.
Masahiko shook his head, “I'm not afraid of outside threats. I'm worried about the problem from inside.”
The shameful thing about the Uzumaki Clan is that they are neither strong nor weak. They were not strong enough to turn their clan into a large village, but were also not weak enough to become an ordinary clan in the village. This is what caused the problem earlier when they were in Konoha.
“Again, I am invincible.” Masahiko sighed and remembered Madara, who was probably preparing his grand plan, and the Six Paths that observed the world. With his current level, without opening the Eighth Gate, he should have been weaker than Madara, and if he had opened it, he should have been a little stronger; thus, victory would not necessarily be his. Although Madara was now older, he should have become stronger with Rinnegan.
“Sensei, is there someone stronger than you?” On the side, Kenichiro wondered.
Masahiko smiled, “The world of Shinobi is vast, and no one knows what is hidden.”
“However, although we cannot be one of the Five Main Villages, we can control one of those five villages.” Masahiko smiled, causing some dull expressions.
“Control?” Gensuke's eyes slowly brightened; he clearly liked what he had just heard.
“Thunder Land Daimyo should be very anxious now.” Masahiko kept smiling and said, “We can charge him a protection fee..Let's say, 70% of their annual income!”.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement, this is indeed a good idea.
In the next few days, Masahiko personally flew to the Land of Thunder, while Yuriko and the others were still busy dealing with Kirigakure.
However, something unexpected happened. At the Daimyo palace, he saw someone there, who should have been dead, Jinchuriki Hachibi!
“So you really survived? Did you use a tentacle clone? ” Masahiko reacts when she sees him. B in the original uses the same trick.
His appearance reminded the entire palace, and someone shouted, “Protect Daimyo!”
“Uzumaki Masahiko, do you really want to kill me?”
Masahiko smiled, “Relax, I'm not crazy. Even if you don't die, I won't chase you to Daimyo's palace to kill you.”
“I'm actually here to talk to Daimyo.”
“Ninja Strong of the Uzumaki Clan, what do you want from me?” Daimyo is very sturdy, he shows no disrespect to Masahiko, the man who nearly destroyed Kumogakure.
“I'm here to collect protection fee.” Masahiko said, “Your land definitely needs protection, right?”
“Protection?” Daimyo dumbfounded, “What kind of protection can you provide?” Saying this proved his lack of confidence.
“Well, mostly to protect you from the aggression of the Uzumaki Clan. You only need to pay 70% of your annual income.”
“Are you kidding?” shout Daimyo.
Masahiko nodded, “Yes, that's a joke. Because next month, this palace will belong to the Land of Whirlpool..”
Daimyo was surprised, then looked at B, who closed his eyes helplessly. After this battle, the Hachibi within his body became willing to communicate with him. And he clearly verified that Masahiko's power was no worse than that of Shinobi God, Senju Hashirama, who was the kind of power that Kumogakure could not defeat.
Eventually Masahiko and Daimyo signed a verbal agreement, then he returned with a full charge.
