Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 223: Jashin

“You said, he asked you: Are you Minato's brother?” Masahiko said with a serious expression.

Minato was surprised, then nodded.

Masahiko closed his eyes and sighed.

“Blooding things like this shouldn't happen. The longer you live, the more you'll see.” Masahiko bitterly shook his head.

The words “Kakak Minato” pushed his mind back thirty years ago. At that moment, a young man called him that. If not for the accident, he would have been his fourth disciple.

“What's wrong? Grandpa?” ask Kushina.

Masahiko sighed and shook his head, “It's okay, you take care of Minato. I went out.”

Even though he wished the crazy old man was Chusuke, he did not want it to come true.

“Huh, it looks like my little girl will have to wait a little longer.”

Masahiko was very happy to see his daughter, but he had to fly to Yugakure immediately. At that moment, the village was destroyed by the Golden and Silver Brothers. Masahiko thought that this peaceful village would never exist again. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Yugakure has become a “village that has forgotten war”.

Minato's team's battle trail was still there, but the villagers weren't nervous or bothered by it. They just clean the place and continue their peaceful life away from the conflict.

“This is very interesting. Perhaps Hidan will grow up to be the most peace-loving person in the Shinobi World because of what happened to Yugakure.”

Masahiko felt a bit of his surroundings, and he realized that there were not many Shinobi in this village. This was truly a strange place to be seen in the Shinobi World.

“Kagura's Eye of Mind!” Masahiko closed his eyes.

No one here has a matching amount of Chakra to the Akatsuki members, but Masahiko can find Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

At a guesthouse not far away, Masahiko went to meet the two of them.

“Orochimaru, what are we still doing here? We've been delayed for over a day. ”

When Masahiko arrived, Jiraiya complained to Orochimaru.

“Older, it's been a long time.” Orochimaru greeted first.

“What are you talking about..” Masahiko wanted to say, but he suddenly remembered that the last time they met, he used the identity of Hagoromo; of course, it was a long time ago.

“Older, how's Minato?” Jiraiya hurriedly asked.

“He is fine. He's up. And he will fully recover in two days.” Masahiko.

Jiraiya felt relieved and muttered, “Ninjutsu medical Tsunade has improved again.”

Masahiko did not explain; the whole incident should not be spread again…

“So, you spent the last two days here?” Masahiko said, then he could only add, “You two slept in the same room?”

With a dark face, Jiraiya replied, “Elder, I am not you.”

Masahiko choked, “I asked if the two of you have learned anything because I can't find any traces about Akatsuki.”

Orochimaru slowly said, “I have something, come with me.” Then he came out.

Masahiko followed him, while Jiraiya was left with a dumbfounded expression. He and Orochimaru had spent the whole day here and he did not speak a word about this, but told Masahiko as he appeared .. “Hey, wait for me!”

Masahiko followed Orochimaru and walked out of Yugakure. Two miles away, they get to... yeah?

“Under the water, there is a channel that leads to the cave,” Orochimaru explained.

Masahiko nodded and did not ask how Orochimaru knew about it. He could guess that the latter was using his snake to explore the place.

Using the force of gravity, the water in the well rose rapidly and flowed for tens of meters.

When the well was completely dry, Masahiko jumped down, followed by Orochimaru.

Sure enough, there was a cave in the well. After traveling over ten meters, Masahiko saw a rather familiar door.

“This material is exactly the same as the one Tobirama used in his lab. It could block my perception.” Masahiko frowned. He roughly guessed what was inside, but he needed to make sure. Moments like this always prove that he can't always rely on his abilities, and he has to find other investigative methods.

“Orochimaru used a snake, but I was stuck with a snail.” Masahiko smiled bitterly; a snail was not the best summoned animal for such a task.

As he thought, Jiraiya caught up with them.

“What is this place?”

Masahiko waved his hand, “I'll blow this door, get ready to fight.” This should be Jashin's base. While it was unlikely that a group of undead ninjas would appear, they had better be careful.

“It's okay, Elder.” Orochimaru opens the door casually, “There are no more people living inside.”

Masahiko was surprised; the smell of blood coming out after he opened the door made him understand what Orochimaru meant.

Jiraiya looked furious as she looked at the nearly hundred corpses in front of her, ranging from children to the elderly.

After she stepped forward to investigate, Jiraiya shook her head slightly, pointing out that there was indeed no one alive, and added, “The time of their death should be three to five days.”

Masahiko sighed, glancing at the clothes of these people. Their clothes were not all the same, but everyone wore a rather familiar necklace around their neck, which should have been a symbol of Jashin.

“One of the most mysterious sects in Naruto, and when I finally found it, they were all dead?” Masahiko smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He suddenly stomped his feet to the ground, and his legs flipped over, burying all the corpses beneath him.

“Elder, you..” Jiraiya's expression changed. He wanted to investigate these corpses more and see if he could find any useful information.

“It's okay. The wounds on their bodies were the same as those of Minato. With one look, I can say that they were all killed by the same person from Akatsuki. No need to see it.”

“There is still something else inside,” Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice and walked deeper.

There were no corpses inside, only a monstrous statue that made Masahiko smile helplessly upon seeing them.

“So this is what the evil god looks like? It's quite scary.” Masahiko said secretly. He did not believe in these gods and ghosts, especially after dealing with those silly Shinigami.

There is also a room behind these statues, which should be the residence of these Jashin followers.

The three of them searched this room for a while, then walked deeper, until they reached the deepest room where they saw an altar covered in blood, and they finally stopped…
