Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 42: The Valley of the Wind

At dusk, in the Valley of the Wind, the wind blew, creating a whistling sound, blowing on the swaying grass, as if it were dancing. Under the deep red sky, Masahiko's robe was fluttering with gusts of wind…

Many Senju people gathered on the vast plains, staring ahead, their clothes in the wind. All of them were wearing the armor of the Senju clan, which was suitable for each of them. Masahiko's armor was very different. He was wearing light clothing with a robe on his shoulder.

Well, some people prefer coolness over protection, and this is what happened to Masahiko.

Tobirama was there too, he looked at Masahiko, then he suddenly patted her on the face and said, “Second grandfather, you don't understand, we have asked you to hide in the army, we have asked you to hide in the army, how are you going to do it with this dress?”

Masahiko glanced at him, then snorted, “Maybe you're the one who really doesn't understand. Your brother tried to hide me in this huge army. But there was something more important than my own safety.” As she said that Masahiko turned around, making Tobirama do the same. His students at the back wore the same robe and light clothes, Masahiko made them wear the theme so that the two could recognize each other easily on the battlefield.

Hashirama lay invisible to the unwary eyes. He stood near the tall grass; behind him, there was a dark brown ground, with a color similar to his armor and black hair.

Ten years ago, the valley if the Wind witnessed a great war. The whole ground was wounded; blood soaked the earth, turning it red. Now, the grass thrives and covers this old scar, perhaps nature thrives from the corpses that filled it in the last great battle.

Hashirama recalls that old battle, “Disini.. Is the place where father and Uchiha Tajima fell in battle.”.

Masahiko saw a reminiscing expression on Hashirama's face, and he quickly recalled the war he had heard about a decade ago. It was the most influential and known war of the warring countries. It was a war that marked the end of the older generation, where the last of the four great patriarchs had perished. And also where the younger generation of Senju and Uchiha rose to the top.

Masahiko looked anxious; he thought, “I don't know if I am considered to be from the older generation or, the younger one now? Besides, I'm ten years younger than my second grandson.”.

On the side, the new Senju Second Elder watching Hashirama stared at the horizon silently; he could not help but interrupt, “Patriark, Uchiha said that the war would break out at the dawn of the third day, and we came here two days before, wouldn't it be wise to let the people rest first? ”

Hashirama regained consciousness quickly, then shouted, “Everything, prepare camp and rest!”

In the past, shinobi would only rest in open spaces, and at most, they would bring one or two tents for important gatherings.

But now, thanks to Masahiko's invention, the seal scroll…

In just half an hour, the mountain was filled with tents everywhere. Although they are not here for a vacation…

They even called out the food and meat from the scroll.

Masahiko was surprised at first, then he grinned and muttered, “Hahaha. Finding these sealing rolls has given me fresh meat everywhere!”

On the side, Tobirama looked in disbelief; he looked at Hashirama and said, “Sister, I didn't tell them to bring these items ..”

With a guilty smile on his face, he said, “Ah, I think they did it themselves ..”. Then shouted, “Since everyone has brought this fresh meat, let's have a banquet while the Uchiha hasn't come!”

“Oh! Viva patriarch! ” Crowd shouting with joy.

So, just before the final valley event, a huge banquet was suddenly held. Fortunately, the Uchiha kept their promise and did not appear before these three days.

In the days that followed, Tobirama dragged Masahiko along with him and used water and soil techniques to clean the place up. He was afraid the Uchiha would know that they held a banquet before the battle.

After the purge, several Shinobi gathered and prepared to build a fort.

Of course, the significant advantage of coming to the battlefield faster was not only to hold a banquet but also to take the opportunity of having a good position on the battlefield.

He was angry that Masahiko tried once again to play quietly in front of Hashirama, he wanted to set a trap on the cliff, surrounded by them from both sides, he said, Masahiko planned to use the technique and make the cliff collapse and bury everything. But it turned out that the Valley of Wind was actually a vast plain.

Hashirama then said, “Second Grandfather, it was actually a valley before, but the landscape changed from the previous war.”

Masahiko then nodded, “Hmmm. How about the Five Heads of Sakura..?” (T/N: Referring to Sakura's big forehead, got it?)

Tobirama only quietly followed his brothers overseeing the erection of the fort.

In fact, there was no defensive fortress; they only dug in a few hiding places and distributed some Bomb Paper inside, so the lower rank shinobi could still play a more significant role in this battle. The Warring States Period has always been like this.

Masahiko felt no need to interfere in this. So he called his three disciples to give them some instructions before the start of the battle.

According to Masahiko's judgment, among the three of them, the strongest one was Yuriko, but here the weak confidence made her unable to win against Kenichiro even once. Masahiko was most worried about him. So after he thought about it, he assigned her in the trenches to help there. Hope he doesn't have to face the enemy directly.

“As for the two of you, follow me in battle. I'll show you the right enemy for you to fight and test your skills. ”

Kenichiro was pleased and agreed with a loud roar. But Nanako looked worried, “Sensei, let me protect Yuriko..”.

Masahiko glanced at him and said, “No! You didn't come all the way here to do that! I've taught you how to use Fuinjutsu for actual combat. This fight is a great opportunity to test your skills!”

After he finished giving these tasks to his students, Masahiko then just waited lazily, looking at the Senju brothers boredly, while watching the preparations for the fortress.

Time has passed, and it is now noon. The Senju had finished all the preparations, and now they were resting in their tents, waiting for the arrival of the Uchiha.

At this moment, Masahiko suddenly felt a slightly familiar chakra.

“Chakra this... Not Uchiha... This.... Senju Sora!”.

Surely, in the distance, they could see a figure approaching quickly. It was Sora the great elder who was supposed to live in the village.

Tobirama's face suddenly changed, “Kakak!”

Hashirama quickly rushed towards him, Sora then immediately said, “Patriark! I saw Madara near our village!”

Hashirama said, “Is he alone?”

Sora replied, “Ya, I just saw and felt him.”

Hashirama nodded, “Madara, are you planning to fight me one on one? Tobirama, you are in charge of preparing our men to face the Uchiha, I will return to guard Madara!”

Hashirama then hesitantly said, “Sora... Let's go!”.

The two quickly rushed back to the village.
