Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 198: Live to Get Old

Under the wooden bridge. Next to the stream.

The three children were washing the mud on their faces.

Because the cave was “detonated” by Masahiko, the three became very dirty, but they were unable to clean their bodies as they were in the wilderness.

“Well, we've completed our mission. Let's pack up and go back to Konoha.”

Masahiko tried to be innocent, but Kushina, who was angry, never raised her eyes towards him.

Konan hesitated, “But Sensei, we do not have enough restoration materials.

Masahiko smiled and took out two sealing rolls, “We really did, don't underestimate your Sensei, these two are enough.”

Although his pharmaceutical skills were only level one, it was more than enough to identify this simple medicinal ingredient, and unknowingly, he ended up collecting two full sealing scrolls.

“Then let's go back, Grandpa,” said Kushina, as the little princess of Uzumaki Kingdom, even though she wasn't spoiled, she still couldn't stand the dirt on her body.

Masahiko nodded, picked up the three of them, then flew again, towards Konoha, with a smile.

The four ninja suddenly appear in their tracks, to find that they have left the skateboard behind.

“My brother, they left, and they didn't even bother carrying an abacus.”

“Ya... but we make hundreds of thousands of Ryo because of them. I wonder why they left them. ”

……..

In the air, Masahiko grinned. He wouldn't actually use real money to buy it if he was going to leave it. He only took a few leaves and used his Transformation Technique to make it look like money. It is estimated that tomorrow they will panic when they return to the leaves. But he left the abacus for them, so it should be okay …

Normally, flying back should have been smoother, but since he was carrying the “Dead Old Ancestor Salamander, AKA was not Hanzo”, his speed was slower.

“Sensei, is the one in your hand really a water lizard?” Konan hesitated and asked.

Masahiko was stunned for a moment, then looked unsure, “It should be so, so what if it was a little bigger? It does not matter if it changes the taste of the pill .. “

This was actually very irresponsible; he did not care because he did not use the Military Ration Pill.

Masahiko did not land when they reached Konoha's Main Gate. With that thing hovering behind them, they would not let it pass, so he immediately flew into the Hokage building. And with it, “long-term missions” two and a half days ends.

“Hiruzen, come out to receive the good, I bring you salamander,” cried Masahiko with a smile.

Hiruzen came out with a serious expression, and even said solemnly, “ Elder Masahiko, you are back.”

Masahiko was surprised, “What's up? Third Shinobi World War broke out?”

Hiruzen shook his head, “This news from Uzumaki, Daimyo from Whirlpool Country is sick..”.

“What?”

“Grandpa?”

Masahiko and Kushina were stunned.

Hiruzen nodded solemnly.

“Kakek ..” Kushina becomes anxious all at once.

Masahiko patted his head and looked at Hiruzen, “Is Nanako back?”

“Ya.”

Masahiko nodded, took out a seal scroll from his sleeve, and threw it, then he flew again with the three children, heading straight for the Land of Whirlpools.

Three children were silent, and no one spoke.

The three of them were still covered in dust, but even Kushina did not want to clean them now.

In just half an hour, they returned to the country under Masahiko's constant acceleration.

“Nagato, Konan, you should go back and clean up first. I'll go with Kushina.”

Masahiko took Kushina directly to the entrance of the Daimyo palace ignoring the various greetings of the guards to him and went straight into the palace.

“Sensei, you are back.” Yuriko greeted him first.

“How's Gensuke?” Masahiko had already sensed how weak his Chakra was, but he still asked, hoping he was wrong.

As expected, Yuriko bitterly shook her head, and Kushina immediately entered.

Masahiko sighed but did not stop him.

“What really happened?”

“We think she is just tired..” Although the two are always fighting, Yuriko never hated Gensuke, and she looks very sad.

“But that's not the case.” Masahiko has never been interested in Gensuke. His mind never lived up to his ambitions, nor did he have the tenacity that a ninja should have.

But after many years, Masahiko finds out that she can count on him. Thanks to the efforts of the man, the country is developing smoothly. Yes, he loves being a Daimyo, but arguably he loves the country more.

“How does Nanako survive?”

“I'm fine, Sensei.”

As soon as Masahiko asked, Nanako walked out of the room, looking not as sad as Masahiko imagined.

“You ..” Masahiko hesitated, she could not find any comforting words. He really doesn't know what to say. In his previous life, people used to say, “Life to grow old, get sick, then die.” But he really wasn't in the right position to say such a thing…

“I'm fine, Sensei, I'm actually ready for today.” Nanako shook her head.

“Before I went to Konoha, I noticed something was wrong with it. He always felt tired. I told him he had to rest .. but he disagreed. At that time, I knew such a day would come, but I did not expect it to be this fast.”

“Is that so?” Masahiko nodded, “Come in.”

Masahiko had not seen Gensuke for a year; he looked like a different person, old and weak.

The son and son-in-law of Gensuke and Nanako stood by the side with Kushina, who was crying inside her room.

As Gensuke looked at Masahiko, a smile was drawn on his face, and he nodded at her.

Masahiko, who did not say a word, smiled at him as well, and Gensuke closed his eyes in relief.

The others quickly gathered to look at him, Masahiko shook his head helplessly, and smiled bitterly, “You didn't get my approval until you're about to die. What is very satisfying, stupid parents.”

Masahiko did not know how many times he had to continue after saying goodbye to his people. Watching this old man just dying with a smile actually didn't make it any easier. Actually, he's a little depressed.

“Sensei, I remember you once told me that human nature is to be born, to live to be old, to be sick, and to die.” Masahiko never expected Nanako to be the one to comfort her at this moment.

“Life to old ..” Masahiko nodded and walked out.

Masahiko understood that these words were not meant to comfort him now. Nanako knows that she and Kenichiro are getting older, and today will come for them too, maybe ten years later, or maybe even tomorrow, however, Masahiko would be the one to send them off one by one.

“It sucks to live too long,” said Masahiko emotionally. He has sent many young generations. The only thing that kept him optimistic was “kutri” who was born in succession, but he was really tired of seeing people die …
