Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 22: The Return of the Hyuga Clan

Masahiko thought about the upcoming clash between Hashirama Senju against Madara Uchiha, and how it would produce such a huge witness point and bring to this era of warring states.

However, this is far from happening.

In recent months, the Senju and Uchiha have been on a truce, as if they have been caught up in a strange honeymoon period.

This was probably a year-round campaign for the clans to defend their territories, both of which had vast territories. They entered a temporary ceasefire. It seemed like they would not be able to fight for such a short time.

While living in Senju for three days, Masahiko felt tempted to visit his favorite grandson.

Masahiko's usually grumpy face turned cheerful whenever he wanted to visit Mito. Of course Mito's current appearance was a little different to the girl he had on his mind due to the bulge on his stomach.

As for Hashirama, his tedious paper work assignment was finally completed for now. And, she can't wait to spend time with Mito again.

After two days of doing nothing. Masahiko intends to return to the Uzumaki clan and wait for the fun to happen.

Suddenly, Hashirama receives a message from the Uchiha Clan.

Masahiko was tired of waiting, but now his wait will pay off.

Senju gets word that the Hyuga clan is coming back. And the Uchiha's attention was now completely on them.

Speaking of Hyuga, it has been about 12 or 13 years since the incident forced the Uchiha to move their training ground to a remote area.

This time, Hyuga planned to re-enter the shinobi world, and they wanted to take a place at the top. The elites of the clan had now been completely reformed by the new generation.

Speaking of the old generation, the three legendary clan leaders had left this era leaving Patriarch Hyuga alone. Butsuma Senju and Tajima Uchiha met their deaths at the Battle of the Valley of the Wind.

Kaminari Kaguya met her end 5 years ago, covering up her clan's retreat.

“Klan Hyuga will return to the battlefield, they will think that they are the strongest now. Well, that's probably partly true. Hyuga will definitely be trampled by the strength and experience of Madara and Hashirama at this time.” Masahiko thought, “However, I am looking forward to seeing this ..”

However, things take the entire turn of the event. A news anchor carrying Hyuga's badge had just come to the Senju patriarch. He told them that patriarch Hyuga wanted to see the Senju patriarch, and suddenly, Hyuga was already at the main gate of the Senju Residence.

“Wow, so rude...” Thought Masahiko, “It seems the older generation really underestimated the younger generation; as a result, they would be erased by them from the scene before they even realized it!”

Just as Masahiko expected, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan was fine again, and after they returned, of course, he wanted to know the current situation of the warring countries.

Of course, Hyuga could not be underestimated, and Hashirama could not act rashly in this regard. After the Kaguya clan fled to the Land of Water, now the Land of Fire only has 3 dominant Clans in it, namely the Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga.

Hashirama personally went outside to greet Hyuga Tenjin; behind patriarch Hyuga, there were a number of his personal bodyguards.

Then, led by Hashirama, Tenjin and his men entered the main hall. The two patriarchs sat together. After a long silence, Hashirama opened the discussion with a question that left many confused a decade earlier. “Tenjin-Dono, why did you attack the Uchiha Clan thirteen years ago? I understand your clan and the Uchiha have some sort of enmity, but doesn't this create more and more hatred between you?

Tenjin replied with a bit of bitterness: “Yeah, that's right.”

“Thirteen years ago, we received a secret letter from Senju. Asking us to sneak into their training ground while Senju fights them and cooperates in the fight against Uchiha.”

“At that time, I didn't think much. After your clan fought the Uchiha in battle, I quickly sent a small group to the Uchiha.

“So, when the Senju fought with the Uchiha, the security of the predecessors was very low. My troops managed to enter without being found, and when they reached the fourth training ground, they immediately started their attack.”

“After this attack, the Uchiha retaliated, but Senju did not keep their promise..”.

Hashirama and Masahiko looked at each other, then Masahiko immediately went to find one of the elders who had retired.

After a while, he returned, then looked at Hashirama and shook his head slightly.

After seeing that, Tenjin closed his eyes and said, “It looks like someone is plotting against us..”.

After saying that, Tenjin clenched her teeth and said: “If I knew who it was ..”

On the side, Masahiko shook his head slightly, thinking, “I don't know if it's true or not, but I think we'll never know, I don't know, If he can't find it with those eyes at that time, no one will. ”.

Tenjin tries to move on from this topic and starts talking about the purpose of this trip.

In fact, he doesn't have to say anything, lately, if you have something with the Uchiha. You have no choice but to switch to Senju.

Coming up with the Senju to reach an agreement was not difficult. Uchiha had “decided” their alliance with Kaguya, standing alone, they could not face Hyuga and Senju.

Since now the Uchiha were stronger because they had destroyed the Kaguya clan, they would not remain silent. Madara wants to avenge his brother.

Therefore, reconciliation would not benefit him; if Senju and Hyuga joined forces, he would never be able to confront them.

However, even if Hyuga and Senju were old allies, the formers would not cooperate for free.

Of course, Hyuga was aware of this. Tenjin said, “Show our gratitude, we have prepared some small gifts for you, and important information.”

“Hmmm... Intelligence?” Hashirama said as Masahiko grew curious about this information.

“Patriark Senju .. Did you notice the middle clans in the west fighting fiercely with each other?”

“I know, but what is their quarrel relationship with us?” ask Hashirama.

“There is a small iron mine there.. Where the chakra conductive metal can be found.”.

“Chakra conductive metals?” Hashirama surprised: “This ..”

Masahiko thought about it too. Metal conductive chakra? Whether this was an era of old war or the future, the conductive metals of chakra were a rare commodity. It is unfortunate that Masahiko, for 53 years of his life, had never seen a chakra-conducting weapon, the Uzumaki Clan did have this metal, but it was few in number.

“Chakra conductive metals. What will happen if I make shuriken using this metal.?”

“Thank you for your information, patriarch Tenjin!” Hashirama ended their talks. “I will discuss this issue with Uchiha.”

“Thank you, patriarch Hashirama, we will go.”

While carrying Tenjin out, Hashirama suddenly recalled something. “Does patriarch Tenjin know which Clan my chakra conductive material belongs to?”

“This is a small Clan called Sarutobi.”

Waitaminute! A sarutobi?

Masahiko's expression froze; he had no idea that the Senju would end up destroying Sarutobi's mining resources in the Warring States Period…
