Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 23: The Situation in the West

The next day, Masahiko woke up early and prepared himself to run around the Senju clan to move his body.

As he ran, he saw someone coming from a distance to the village.

“Hashirama, did you come out last night?” Masahiko was confused. This is his last chance to stay with Mito at home; after all, it won't be long before his department heads west!

“Ah, Grandpa, morning sport?” Hashirama smiled and said, “Why are you so surprised? Didn't the Hyuga clan ask us to talk to the Uchiha yesterday? So, I went to Uchiha last night.”

“Come again?… Alone? What about Tobirama?” ask Masiko.

“Tobirama went west to explore the mine and gather some intelligence. Second Grandfather, you would be very kind if you did not tell him about my visit to Uchiha when he returned..”.

“Oh, okay, I understand,” Masahiko replied.

He understands that Hashirama went to see Madara last night, and there was no accident. After all, Hashirama had mastered Senjutsu.

“Ah, Madara must be anxious now.” thought Masahiko.

…

After a boring day, and another boring week, Tobirama is finally back.

However, when Hashirama greeted him, Tobirama's face looked agitated.

“Kakak, the situation in the west becomes more complicated,” Tobirama said.

“Now west has become a total mess. Too many clans and families were involved. If we participate, I fear we will trigger another conflict.”

“Klan and which family?” ask Hashirama.

“Now west is divided into three groups. The first consisted of small clans and families, including Sarutobi, Shimura, Fuma, and several others. They allied with Sarutobi to defend his mines. The middle group consists of Aburame, Inuzuka, and Hatake. And lastly, the strongest group consists of the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi clans. These three clans can complement each other's techniques, their combined formation is called Ino-Shika-Cho; thus, they are the strongest of that group.”

“We must not antagonize them all, we simply join one of these three alliances.” Masahiko smiled as he said this.

Tobirama looked at Masahiko and said, “At first I thought so too, but joining them would cause other problems. The strongest group did not want outsiders to join their synergy. The intermediate group, although relatively strong, I fear this will cause discord among them about the Conductive Meta Chakra. While the weakest group was too weak, and what could a patriarch do to six people?”

Masahiko thought, for now, it would not be a problem for the Senju to face six clans at once. But the problem now was that the other Elders who were already half-retired, such a battle would force most of them to retire, then when the age of these warring nations reached full-scale combat, he said, Senju will not be able to compensate. Other Main Clans.

In addition, you cannot transmit all of your power when you have a Uchiha, which is ready to jump from the shadows at any given time.

“Yes, they have six patriarchal level shinobi, while we only have three of us.”

“The brother, me, and second grandfather are the only shinobi who can defend against a patriarch, we can be ganged up by many clans at the same time, he said, and the ancestors of Ino-Shika-Cho may provide a more difficult challenge.” Tobirama looked worried.

Masahiko smiled and said, “You think too much of your brother. I can even take ten of them. ”

“Tobirama, don't worry about Uchiha.” Masahiko looked at Hashirama then continued, “Madara must be training right now in a place where no one is.”

“Training?” Tobirama was a little confused. However, none of them gave him an answer.

Although Tobirama did not get the answer, he did not think too much about it. He felt that his brother had done something good.

Meanwhile, Tobirama said, “Then, we will leave tomorrow? I'll gather an army. But who should I bring?”

“Yes, we leave tomorrow. As for who to take, take Sora, he's one of our good Jonin and needs to perfect his skills through experience. Also, if you need to, grab some Eltes, let them bring their own team, let's use this opportunity to practice the actual war situation. ” Hashirama said.

“Yes, Sora is the only shinobi at Jonin's peak level, although he is less experienced.”

“No problem, we have you and second grandfather. As for the other patriarchs, leave it to me. ” After ‘meet’ with Madara last week, I started to better understand my own strength, even against these six patriarchs, I was sure I could beat them.

“Ya...” It's obvious that Toberama wants to say something, but he stays silent.

“Do not worry, we can deal with west for now. The Uchiha will not move for a while. And you will be amazed by how much influence your brother can influence the war.”.

“Oke.” Tobirama still seems to doubt this. Then go to gather the troops.

Now there were only two people in the hall, Masahiko and Hashirama.

“Second grandfather, did you sign the contract?”

“Ah Yes. I will use it in this upcoming battle. You can count on me to treat all the wounds of the Senju Clan.” Masahiko said. Compared to Senju Tsunade's Fifth Hokage, Masahiko was still not convinced by her Chakranya number. Maybe he'll use some more witness points.

“No, I think ... If I somehow end up being too harsh on these six Ancestors, will you keep them alive?” Hashirama was a little embarrassed to say this because it was a ridiculous request.

“No problem!” Masahiko said this happily. As soon as Hashirama said this, he understood what this meant.

“To stop all kinds of conflicts, Hashirama is already considering the idea to establish Konoha.” thought Masahiko.

Seeing Hashirama's grateful face, Masahiko walked out of the hall. Although the results of the Ninja God training are very satisfying, Hashirama still…

In short, Masahiko increasingly respected Hashirama, when he was a Shinobi God himself, you cannot help but admire him, but the rest is awkwardness.

With Hashirama and Tobirama both busy preparing. Masahiko shook his head. Then he started writing letters to tell the Uzumaki clan.

Generally, the letter is like this. “You don't have to worry about me. I'm in good hands here with Senju. As a great elder of the Uzumaki Clan, I ask you to appoint me as the ambassador of the Senju clan. Anyway, thank you, patriarch Uzumaki.”

Sending this letter, Masahiko did not know how the patriarch felt when he read it.

Time passed, following the army of Senju, Masahiko and the others finally arrived at the Sarutobi clan after walking for two days.
