Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 38: Shinigami Mask

Three years later,

“Teacher, isn't my monkey mask funny?”

Masahiko saw the monkey mask. The clan has been too stable in recent years, and more children are born every day. Somehow, every child in the Uzumaki Clan liked this mask. Thus today has been held its first Mask Festival.

“Sensei..” Looking at Masahiko's distracted face, Yuriko whining.

“Oh, it looks good for you ... where are the other two?” Masahiko returned to the real world and asked Yuriko.

“Kenichiro is still training, he does not want to come.” Yuriko frowned, “Nanako-Chan still chose her mask..”.

Masahiko nodded.

In the past three years, Kenichiro was the most satisfying student. It seemed that the self-limiting training method was in his favor, or perhaps because his physical talent was extremely high. At the age of eleven, in terms of physical strength, he was already on par with Jonin, which was truly incredible!

It was astonishing to the point that he made Masahiko also try it and try self-limiting training, but eventually, he gave up. Of course, Kenichiro is on the right track to be on the same level as Maito Gay and Rock Lee.

As for Yuriko who was now 9 years old, Masahiko felt her character had not changed in the slightest; she was the same shy girl from before. Sometimes she can be a little whiny, which makes Masahiko feel like she is raising a daughter. However, he was extremely talented in Fuinjutsu, and his ninjutsu learning was incredible. He has mastered almost all of the Futon and Katon techniques that Masahiko taught him. Masahiko plans to teach him the Rasengan later. It's a matter of time before he grows up, and he can become a true ninja powerhouse.

Last student…

“Sensei, here I come, look at my mask, beautiful right?” Just as he was thinking about it, Nanako suddenly appeared in the distance, shouting.

Masahiko looked at him helplessly. The last three years helped Nanako to reveal her true self. After being completely together with Masahiko, she is usually polite, but sometimes she exposes the hot side of her temper, Masahiko thinks that her personality is more or less like Sakura's.

Masahiko could not think of any normal girl who would call a Shinigami mask as cute…

Waitwhat? Shinigami Mask?

Masahiko's face changed after seeing the mask. He carefully observed the mask and said, “Nanako, Very nice mask! Will you let me see it better? ”

“Sensei, you don't even see my mask.” Yuriko looks a little jealous.

Masahiko ignored him, then he took the mask Nanako gave him. And after a careful examination, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“It's just similar in shape, huh?” Masahiko muttered to himself and did not feel the existence of the Shinigami himself at the stake. “But why? is that a clue?”

Masahiko was still a bit worried because Fuinjutsu Nanako had actually leveled up quickly in the past three years. He wouldn't be surprised if he ended up developing Edo Tensei in the future.

“Kurasa there is more..” Masahiko said as he handed the mask back to Nanako. Then turned to Yuriko, who was still pursing her lips.

“Yuriko, can your monkey mask.”

After taking the monkey mask from Yuriko, Masahiko examined it, then placed it on her face for a moment.

“Teacher, you look like a monkey!” Yuriko said happily.

Masahiko's face turned black, he quickly took it off his face, then handed it back to her.

“Perhaps because I was sent by monkey..”.

(T/N: Okay, this is the hard one, this sentence is a reference to the movie Journey of The West, becoming very popular on the internet later. Masahiko calls himself a funny guy because maybe he was sent by a monkey, this sentence was originally spoken to a bodhisattva invited by The Monkey in the movie, OMG, this is a long time ago, he said, the red boy in the movie found it very funny, so he asked if he was funny because he was invited by a monkey. You may not find it funny, but I decided not to change it and explain it in this note ..)

Regardless of whether his two students understood his sarcasm or not, Masahiko then said, “Let's go to the festival mask together.”

Nanako and Yuriko nodded happily.

Masahiko is not interested in animal masks, which are for children…

“Sial, why is there a character mask with my face on it? It's not funny.” However, the moment he saw the shopkeeper, his face darkened.

“Are you not the original second elder of Uzumaki? Are you not retired? Why do you sell masks?” The owner of the stall is none other than Uzumaki Masao, the second elder Uzumaki before Masahiko.

“Masahiko!” Masao smiled and looked at Masahiko. “In the last few years, I did nothing, so I started making this mask, but my grandson does not like it very much, so I think I should sell it.”

“How old is your grandson? Why does he not like them, every child in the village likes him.?”.

“My grandson is 11 years old. but he spends most of his time training all day.” Masao said with a proud smile.

After hearing this, Masahiko was suddenly stunned.

“What is your grandson Kenichiro's name?” ask Masahiko.

Masao nodded.

“You let me teach your grandson while we used to have a grudge against each other ..?”

“It's 50 years. I don't care about this past conflict, what it's done is done, and I think you've forgotten it too. Moreover, after I witnessed the ore battle with my own eyes, I'm sure no one is more suited than you to teach Kenichiro, ”Kata Masao.

“True, I've forgotten about that old conflict ..” Masahiko squinted his eyes at him, then continued, “But we have a new one now, and it's called copyright infringement.”

“What coffee is it?”

“Copyright!” Masahiko pointed at the mask with his face. Then without saying anything, he turned around and wanted to leave with his two students.

“Sensei, wait a minute!” Nanako stopped.

Ten minutes later, Masahiko looked at Nanako helplessly, who was wearing Masahiko Mask.

“Oh, the legal consciousness of these people is too weak. After Konoha was founded by Hashirama, I will ask him to isolate them from the others!” Masahiko muttered to himself while shaking his head.

“Sensei! That's where I bought that mask!” Nanako's words interrupted Masahiko's thinking. He looked up and saw different types of death masks.

As Masahiko walked near the booth, the owner immediately greeted him, “Welcome Masahiko-Sama! Did anything catch your attention?”

The owner of the stall then noticed Nanako, who was standing behind Masahiko and said: “Oh, hi little girl! Want another mask? This child has good taste, which was previously of its kind.”.

Hearing the compliment, Nanako smiled. He wanted to get closer to the stall, but Masahiko stopped him.

“The only one? Really true? Why did you only make one?” Masahiko asked the stall owner in confusion.

“Oh, actually, I didn't make that mask.” The kiosk owner replied.

“All these masks were made by me. I inherited one from my father. The conditions are still good, so I think I should sell him. I am not sure if one of my ancestors has made it, but I am the owner of this store now, and I..”.

“All right I understand.” Masahiko cut him off, he felt like he was going to start telling a long story. Then he said, “Nanako, Yuriko, let's go.”

Both nod.

“I'm not so sure, whether this mask was left behind by a great Shinobi, or whether it was just plain trash.
