Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 31: The Fire Nation

The Fire Nation Capital.

After a day's journey, Masahiko finally reached the center of the Fire Nation. Located at its center is the famous Fire Nation capital.

As the heart of the Fire Nation's economy, the capital city does look vibrant. Low-rise buildings and family pavilions are seen thronging the city.

Despite Masahiko's 58 years of crossing into this world, Masahiko never once visited the metropolitan area that is classified as advanced in this world. At least now, his long desire to visit this world metro city was finally achieved.

There are no high-rise buildings like in the 21st century. The architecture here is more local and traditional. Masahiko took a walk in the streets of the city center, and he could hear the shouts and voices peddling some merchants.

Handmade pottery of the Wind Nation, clothing of the Water Nation, stone carvings of the Earth Country, and much more…

There were many merchants traveling to this city while carrying items from all over the world.

“It's really amazing. Even in this war-torn era, just to make ends meet, people would travel here. It is true that even today, business is a viable alternative to fighting.”

Suddenly, Masahiko heard something familiar, “Don't miss our latest product! The first in the whole country, only in our store you can find..”.

Masahiko was a little surprised, he slightly nodded his head, “Familiar marketing methods ..”

He walked over to the seller. And the seller was surrounded by many people. He tried to dive closer to the commotion.

The one held by the seller is the headset. Masahiko had no idea this kind of thing might appear in this world. But when he looked around the crowd, from their reactions, it seemed like this matter was not foreign.

“Well, this world, however, written in the contemporary era, has a touch of modernism in it. So I think things like this might be normal.”.

The seller continued his talk, “This is the latest radio headset developed by my store. Just wear this, and no matter how far you and your partner are, you can still communicate through this. Many shinobi are using this now. These radio headsets can be used on the battlefield to relay commands without delay! Just 100 million Ryo, quick! Limited stock.”

Masahiko. He was not sure, but it seemed like this technology was still a rare item in this era, long-distance communication, but once again costing 100 million?

In Naruto's story, the bounty on Asuma Sarutobi's head is 30 million Ryo. And at that time, 30 million Ryo was comparable to the current 3 million Ryo.

As for 100 million Ryo, it was equal to the entire savings of a small clan.

Sure enough, many people were curious about this, but no one wanted to use their money for this.

“Only a fool would buy it..” thought Masahiko, but suddenly he heard a familiar voice.

“I'll buy it!”

Masahiko looked at the source of the voice and saw patriarch Nara who was about to buy a radio headset.

When he saw his acquaintance, Masahiko was very happy, “Nara patriarch! Hahaha let's see you again.”.

When patriarch Nara saw Masahiko, he suddenly recalled the battle a few years ago at the Sarutobi mine; they lost thanks to Masahiko's summoning technique. This made his face suddenly turn pale and wanted to leave immediately.

Masahiko could not help but laugh anymore and tried to stop him.

“Why rush? Patriarch Nara, it is not easy to see some acquaintances in the capital. ”

“I just think that this radio headset is too expensive and only a fool would buy it.. I mean... Your family is rich!”.

Patriarch Nara was helpless. If he understood correctly, Masahiko would call him a fool.

Reluctantly he said, “Oh.. yes.... well......” It seems like he does not care.

“Government? No, I'm just here to shop.” The patriarch Nara.

“Oh, so.” Masahiko can feel that patriarch Nara is trying to hide something, “You want to buy this? Why not just communicate using Yamanaka techniques?”

Nara's expression suddenly changed, she did not expect Masahiko to know about this.

“Do not be nervous, I have lived for 58 years. Of course, I've heard a lot. ” Masahiko tries to explain.

Patriarch Nara nodded, reluctantly trying to believe Masahiko's words, and turned around.

“Ohh...” This time Masahiko did not stop patriarch Nara; he laughed then left. Teasing a smart person is more fun than flirting with Hashirama, Masahikom thought.

After that, Masahiko lost interest in continuing the excursion. After asking some people, he finally arrived at the Daimyo plantation. After explaining his intentions to the guards, he was taken to Senju's room.

“Second Grandfather, have you come? How was your trip?” Tobirama greeted Masahiko as he entered the room.

“Yah, seamless. I guess you are now stuck with my crooked ideas.” Masahiko glanced sideways.

Tobirama's face looked stiff; he cursed his older brother for running his mouth in his heart.

“How can you say that?! You have always helped us in the last few years. I can't thank you enough.”

“Yeah, apology accepted. What's the matter this time?” Masahiko said while Tobirama thought, “I'm not apologizing!”

“It is not yet clear, because the meeting participants have not arrived. But as time went on, many Clan representatives gathered here. Large clans and small families came from all over the country. I think something big is going to happen.” Tobirama.

“Everyone?” Masahiko asked awkwardly.

Tobirama smiled, and he said, “Yes, they also came. In fact, due to our in-law relationship, their room was placed next to us.”

“What? I should go see my niece then.” Masahiko said with a hint of guilt.

Masahiko walked into the next room with Uzumaki's name written on it, then knocked on the door.

The door opened, and patriarch Uzumaki opened the door.

When he saw Masahiko, the patriarch froze for a while, then he smiled and said, “Second Uncle! Long time no see, you still haven't changed!”

“Wow, you are much older.” Although he tried to look like a 55-year-old man, Masahiko could not be honest with herself, and he maintained a 48-year-old appearance with some changes. The same did not happen to the patriarch, now that he was in his 40s, and the stress he faced seemed to affect his body as well. He looked older than Masahiko.

Masahiko saw this and felt a little embarrassed. To earn more witness points, he stayed in Senju. Even so, he should have visited more and helped his nephew. “Patriark, once this problem is finished, I will return to Uzumaki with you.”

Patriarch Uzumaki was filled with excitement. “With you around, it will be easier! During these years, the second and third elders have also retired, and you are not in the village. Only my second and third brothers are left, it becomes very difficult to keep and manage the village, people seem dissatisfied, thinking that I have become a dictator.”

Masahiko rolled her eyes and said, “Don't worry, it won't be the same when I get back. I'll go back and teach the younger ninjas. As for other things, I will rely on you. ”

“Yes, uncle, as long as you return.” Patriarch Uzumaki nodded.

“Well, I'll be next door. I'm here to help Tobirama with the matter of the Land of Fire, so don't come and look for me!” Masahiko then returned to Senju's room.

Patriarch Uzumaki sighed, saying,

“This second uncle is still the same ..”
