Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 256: The Funeral

In the present day, Kenji's entire team is wiped out, Jiraiya is severely injured, and Sakumo loses an arm. It was Konoha's first defeat since the beginning of the Third Shinobi World War.

More people gathered at the Konoha Camp. Minato had also returned with Kakashi, and they gathered around Jiraiya and Sakumo, respectively.

Shikaku orders several ninjas to send the Chakra Diffusion Cannon from the warehouse and place it at the entrance of the camp to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation.

Masahiko reluctantly calms Nawaki down. He initially thought that Tsunade would be the one in need of comfort. He did not expect Tsunade, who had been silent for a long time, to be cheering, standing up, and devoting herself to taking care of the injured.

“Kenji, it looks like you, as his father, are not as important as his lover and younger brother. Tsunade has absolutely no signs of phobia ... Can you be sure, see you in about 20 years?

Masahiko whispered to Kenji's body.

After a while, Nawaki wiped away the tears on his face and said, "Great grandfather, let's send my father back to Konoha so he can be buried properly."

Masahiko nodded, then shook his head, "Tomorrow, it's too late now."

“In addition, we must withdraw the Senju clan from the battlefield first. They'll all participate in Kenji's funeral. There are also funerals for several other clans.”.

This time losing the Senju was very heavy. Besides Kenji, there were six Jonins on Kenji's team, and the entire squad was annihilated.

Looking at Nawaki, Masahiko sighed, "Mashirama, you go gather people."

"Yes, Grandpa," Mashirama replied immediately.

"Mashirama has matured a lot over the years." Masahiko nodded.

Afterwards, Masahiko joins the medical ranks to treat the wounded, and along with Tsunade and a group of medical ninjas, they end up dealing with all the wounded.

“Let's take a break, Tsunade, tomorrow. We will escort Kenji back to Konoha together.”

A sad expression reappeared on Tsunade's face, "I'll accompany father."

"No .. You can't die, I can't raise you all up." Masahiko said with a smile, then he patted his head and said, “Go and rest. You'll feel much better tomorrow.”

"Hokage-Tama!"

One by one, screams sounded outside.

Masahiko did not expect Hiruzen to personally rush here when he learned of the news.

Hiruzen looked anxious, but when he saw Masahiko, then Tsunade next to him, who looked in good condition, he was a little relieved.

“Older Masahiko.”

Masahiko nodded, “Go and meet Kenji. Tomorrow I will escort her body back to Konoha with the Senju Clan.Sakumo will also come.”.

He thought that Danzo might have a way to help regain Sakumo's arm. Moreover, his current condition was not suitable for war.

“Sakumo?” Hiruzen. When he heard about Kenji, he handed everything to Danzo and rushed here, so he had no idea what happened to Sakumo.

Masahiko did not explain and asked Hiruzen to see it for himself. After that, he entrusted the camp to Shikaku and went to rest. He's a little tired.

“The future is changing.”

While lying down, Masahiko sighed a little, thinking about Roran's journey.

If it wasn't for Sara and how she told him that boys love dolls, he wouldn't have visited Sungakura to make Optimus Prime, he said, which means Sungakure won't make these two secret weapons again, and Kenji won't die. .

“This is all because of me.. How could I be this stupid! And Sungakure, Chiyo..” Thinking of Chiyo, Masahiko fell asleep.

The next day, Masahiko and a group of Senju Clans, along with Sakumo and Kakashi, deliver Kenji's body back to Konoha.

On the way, Masahiko looked around and frowned, "This is the only Senju Clan participating in the war?"

Nawaki is a little sad, “At first there were more than 30 people.”

“It was not much ..” Masahiko was surprised, but then he remembered that the Senju station had always been half empty in recent years.

"Klan Senju doesn't think too much about the future ..."

Tsunade took a few quick steps, came to Masahiko's side, hesitated, then asked Nawaki to stay away.

"Great grandfather, there has been something wrong in the clan over the years, and the number of newborn babies has become rare."

Masahiko frowned and nodded for Tsunade to continue.

“Since my Grandfather's generation, the fertility of the Senju Clan seems to be getting weaker, especially our generation.” After saying that, Tsunade is still a little embarrassed, “Only Nawaki managed to have children, and this is all because of your medicine.”.

Masahiko was surprised and suddenly realized that in these few years, he had indeed never heard of a newborn from Senju.

"Impossible." Masahiko silently thought.

“At that time, I thought Nawaki was just an anomaly. I don't expect everyone to be like this. ”

Masahiko looked at Tsunade, "You didn't find the reason?"

Tsunade shook her head, "No."

Masahiko thought for a moment, "Do you think that medicine solves the problem?"

“They all tried the cure when they heard it, but it only worked on Nawaki,” Tsunade whispered.

Masahiko nodded, “So. I will study this carefully after the funeral. ”

“Is it effective because Nawaki has better physical strength? Then Tsunade... Forgetit. Let's take a look at Machirama.”

No one met them on the road, and they reached Konoha peacefully.

Danzo greeted them at the main gate. After Masahiko stated the current situation in a few sentences, he asked in a low voice, "Can you do something about Sakumo's arm?"

Danzo shook his head, "It's impossible to regenerate limbs."

Masahiko frowned, considering the original anime, "Naruto Arm ... do they use Hashirama's phone for that?"

Looking at Danzo in front of him, Masahiko was actually not convinced that he had not studied Hashirama cells. This might be completely impossible, and it might be, but he did not want to believe it ...

"Forget over. I am so glad that I brought it back. I'll just send her to Uzumaki to see if Yuna can make a prosthesis for her. If he fails, after two years, Orochimaru will naturally come out with something.”

Compared to Danzo, Masahiko prefers to believe in Orochimaru.

Later, under Masahiko and Danzo's organization, Kenji was buried in Konoha's cemetery.

At the monument of the Konoha hero, Masahiko personally carved seven names. The funeral was very short. Only Masahiko, Danzo, and the group from the Senju clan were present.

Watching the crying Aika that Tsunade and Nawaki supported at home, Masahiko felt a slight pain in her heart.

Looking at the Senju Clan with a total of less than half a hundred, Masahiko squinted and said in his heart, “Old ancestor, I personally take care of your creation! Do not leave men or women without offspring, and protect them on war days.”

"By the way, where's that fat cat?" Masahiko only remembers it now, “It seems to still be with Orochimaru.. rest in peace fat cat..”.
