Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 41: Rising Storm

In the past month, after the establishment of the Uzumaki Village event, Masahiko decided not to do anything, practice, eat, sleep, and repeat. Everything seems so calm, so relaxing. But he had no idea the storm was coming from the north, ready to be unleashed.

After five years, Tobirama visits Uzumaki's residence, and Masahiko finally gets a chance to see him again.

“Tobirama, didn't you say that you would come to me when you developed a new Ninjutsu? Or do you think this Grandpa is no good to you anymore.”.

Masahiko launched such rhetoric, putting Tobirama under pressure.

“Second Grandfather, recently, I have had many good ideas, such as illusions that can fool your opponents, explosive mark doubling techniques, water techniques that help you move faster.”.

Masahiko's face turned grim and said: “Jutsu Unlimited Darkness, Tandem Paper Bomb, Instant Water Transmission. Everything has been developed.”.

Masahiko then looks at Tobirama's face, to find that the former's face is more unpleasant.

“Did my older brother betray me and leak this information to you, Second Grandpa? I'm still developing this technique, but you already know its name!”

Masahiko's face was stiff; he didn't realize that he was saying this out loud. He quickly nodded, “Ya, your older brother is my insider ..”

Hashirama, sorry for the matter …

Deep in the Senju residence, Hashirama was thinking about the construction and construction of the village. Suddenly he sneezed. Then with a smile, he looked up at the sky and said: “Madara, are you also thinking of me?”

Back at the Uzumaki clan, Tobirama tried “menipu” Masahiko to go to Senju.

“Second grandfather, in addition to some of these techniques, I am working on a new one.”

Masahiko thought to himself, “I feel he is hiding something..He has already developed all the techniques he has in the anime, the only thing left is, he could not even finish it before his death. So, he will start working on it at least 10 years from now.”.

Thinking of this, Masahiko suddenly recalled when Tobirama was chased by Kinkaku's troops, he placed his hands on the ground, and he could detect all the surrounding Shinobi and their level of strength. Masahiko forgot his name, but he could remember its usefulness. This must be some kind of Shinobi-class perceptual technique.

“Hey, what kind of Ninjutsu are you developing right now? Ninjutsu Perceptual?” Masahiko asked firmly.

“Detection type? Not really.” He replies Tobirama is confused by Masahiko's assumption. “Is it important to develop such skills? Besides, I already have the best perceptual shinobi by my side, so why don't you come back with me, and help me with my new Ninjutsu?” (Implied to Masahiko).

Masahiko shook his head, “You are still trying to trick me into going with you to Senju. We can do it here. Why should we go back to Senju? Just tell me, what's up?”

Tobirama smiled awkwardly, he took a deep breath then sighed, “I still can't fool you, Grandfather ... This is Uchiha, we have prepared for the recent war.”

“What! Why didn't you tell me earlier? We have to leave quickly. I'll pack my things.” Masahiko turned around and left, making Tobirama more confused than before.

Masahiko rushed to his house while he looked very excited. “It's finally time to fight against the Uchiha! Konohagakure, I'm coming!”

Masahiko thought about it, but he decided to bring his three students. No one else from Uzumaki left, so his three disciples would have the most combat experience after this.

“Hashirama will be there. I'll probably face the people from the Uchiha. I hope the Ninja God and the Shinobi Genius Inventor will help me protect them.

After an hour, Tobirama saw four people coming with luggage.

After a brief explanation, Tobirama accepted it, then they informed Patriarch Uzumaki of this. This is how their journey to Senju began.

On the way, Tobirama explained the situation to Masahiko.

Nine years ago, after Hashirama made a visit to Madara, the two clans stopped fighting. However, the Uchiha never stopped attacking the territory of other small clans.

Masahiko heard Tobirama's explanation, but he didn't seem to worry about her much. She wonders to herself, “I'm worried that's not the case. This fight will make Madara blind, and this will be the last battle between them.”.

“But...” Masahiko keeps thinking. “This is not like the reckless Madara, he has always been a man with a plan. He would only move if he had a plan. So if what Tobirama said is true then... Hashirama will be in big trouble.”.

“Sensei, Uncle Tobirama is talking to you!” Nanako said to Masahiko because she saw Masahiko immersed in her thoughts.

Masahiko snapped, he regained consciousness, then grinned, “What uncle? Tobiramah? From my point of view, you should call him Tobirama-Senpai.”

Upon hearing this, the three students reacted differently; nanako simply sighed and shook her head. Yuriko felt a little embarrassed, but she wanted to do it. And Kenichiro showed his excitement, then shouted: “OOH! I get it, Sensei!”

Masahiko was embarrassed by the behavior of his students. It's different when you have Disciple Lee, but you're not a Gai!

The quarrel between teacher and disciple did not bother Tobirama too much, he even ignored her. He kept thinking about Uchiha's next move.

After arriving in Senju, he left his three students and was dragged by Tobirama to meet Hashirama.

When he saw them, he looked delighted: “Ah, little sister, you are finally back! Some time ago, Uchiha sent us a written challenge to fight.”

“Writing challenge for war?” Masahiko looked confused. In the period of warring nations, despite the constant battles between clans and families, he had never heard of a war invitation letter even once.

“Show me the letter..”

“Ah! Second Grandpa! You are also here!”

Masahiko did not pay attention to Hashirama, and he immediately took the letter from the table.

“After three days, you will have the last fight in the Valley of the Wind?”

Masahiko looked pale as if he had just seen a ghost. Is this a decisive battle? But it happened too fast. Nothing has ever been mentioned in the story about the written challenge to war. Is this a new development? Chief Masahiko was filled with questions.

When Tobirama saw the contents of the letter, he looked worried.

“Kakak, is this a trick? What if they stab us in the back and attack the village after we go to the Valley of the Wind?”

Hashirama shook his head and said, “No! Madara is not that kind of person! Now, prepare our people to leave tomorrow morning for the Valley of the Wind!”

“Kakak...” Tobirama clearly disagreed with this, but when he saw the long-lost serious expression on Hashirama's face, he could only nod in agreement.

“So who will stay to protect the village?”

Hashirama thought for a moment, then he replied, “Let Sora stay..”.

Sora Senju, after the Battle of Sarutobi Mine 9 years ago, has managed to reach a lower level of patriarchal power. Now, he is the new elder Senju.

“Older Sora...” Tobirama paused for a moment, then said, “I understand, I'll tell people.”

After he walked out, Hashirama looked at Masahiko and said, “Second Grandfather, this battle will not be like we faced before, if it is too dangerous for you, you can stay here ..”

Masahiko nodded, “I'm here to protect my students. So don't worry, I won't act rashly.”.

Hashirama: “...”
