Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 48: Hiruzen Sarutobi And Danzo Shimura

A month later.

Senju Boxing Training Place.

“Seni Sage: Lava Element: Rasenshuriken!”

Rasenshuriken hits his target, but Masahiko does not turn to look; a real man will never look back to see his explosion…

In the past month, Masahiko has solidified his appearance as a 53-year-old man and finally managed to convince his three students.

Masahiko's life isn't completely idle, he does a few little things here and there. The previous event with the Shinigami, giving him 80 points, Masahiko added 28 points to the earth attribute, and finally combined it with fire, creating a lava release. Then he added another 20 points to Yang's attribute, which increased his physical abilities and increased his Chakra.

The remaining 32 points were stored by Masahiko for later use, ready to develop the Dust Element…

A light breeze blew through Masahiko's face, with someone suddenly appearing next to Masahiko.

“Second grandfather, my brother requested your presence.” Tobirama's words were cut off.

“Your sister called me?” Masahiko said as he turned to look at Tobirama.

“Hei... What happened to the training ground?” Masahiko acted as if he was innocent; the ground behind him was smoldering from his previous technique.

“Strength like this is enough to destroy Susanoo LV2 Madara.. But now that I'm really afraid she has awakened her Eternals, I feel always a step behind.” said Masahiko.

“I'll find your brother!” Masahiko then turned around, leaving the quiet land to Tobirama.

Masahiko arrived at the Senju Meeting Hall, Hashirama was already waiting for him there.

Masahiko snorted, then said, “Are you preparing to leave Hashirama? Go alone?”

He nodded, “Yes, my visit has been delayed for a month, and it can not be postponed again.”

“Do you want me to go with you?” ask Masahiko.

“Oh...” Hashirama hesitated, “I want you to come with me, but this will be considered a statement from Uzumaki to other clans. So, I'll understand if you're willing to decline my invitation. ”

Masahiko thought about it for a while, and asked: “Klan which one will you visit first?”

“Klan Sarutobi, we have cooperated before, it will be smoother to go to them first.”

“Sarutobi..” Masahiko suddenly remembered when he met Sasuke Sarutobi 9 years ago.

“Currently, maybe the Third Hokage was born there..” murmured Masahiko, then he said, “OK, I'm coming with you.”

Masahiko packed up his things, and Hashirama and Masahiko began their journey with three small figures trailing them behind.

This was the first time the three disciples had left Uzumaki Village, and now they were reluctant to return. Therefore, they wanted to follow Masahiko.

When they arrived at the Sarutobi family, everything was smoother than expected. Since the previous patriarch of the Sarutobi Clan had been replaced by the new patriarch, 22-year-old Sasuke Sarutobi.

She is called “Hope Sarutobi.” At the age of 22, he had already reached the peak of Jonin's level. If he got stronger and reached the Patriarch Level, then Sarutobi would no longer be considered a middle-class clan in terms of strength.

Sasuke Sarutobi has great respect for Masahiko; he even called him ‘Sensei.’ After he heard Hashirama's proposal, though initially hesitant, after he agreed, Sasuke instead offered Hashirama's help to convince the other clans.

The atmosphere calmed down for a while, Masahiko then grinned, and turned to his three students while saying, “Come, greet your Senpai!”

Then after that, Masahiko introduced his students to Sasuke, “This is the second student, Nanako.” He pointed at her.

“This is the third disciple, Yuriko.”

(T/N: White Dragon Horse, reference of “Travel to West” ordained as “Bodhisattva Great Power of Eight Heavenly” Sections and “Dragon Horse of Eight Heavenly Sections.”)

“King of Apes, Tripitaka, Pigsy, Sandy, and the White Dragon Horse have finally gathered!”

(T/N: Monkey King, Tripitaka, Pigsy, Sandy, and White Dragon Horse are the main characters of the novel ‘Journey to the West.’)

“Our team finally got together; we can start our journey west to spread Sutra.”

Yuriko and Kenichiro looked at each other, and Nanako rolled her eyes and sighed. Then he said, “Sasuke-Senpai, don't mind what the teacher says, he's getting older ..”

Sasuke then laughed out loud. Then he became more serious and asked, “Sensei, can I teach others the techniques you gave me 9 years ago?”

“Taught? Although Masahiko doesn't rely on the Rasengan anymore, he doesn't want anyone to pass down Naruto's signature Ninjutsu to future generations.

“My son, Hiruzen.” Sasuke said with a smile, “He is only four years old. I have checked his chakra attributes, and he has all five naturally. He will definitely surpass me and become a great ninja.”

“The third Hokage is now four years old, there are still 5 years left until the founding of Konoha..” Masahiko kept thinking and immersed in his thoughts, while Sasuke waited for his answer.

He noticed that and answered quickly: “Ah, yes, yes!” Masahiko kept saying that until the disappointment on Sasuke's face was gone.

Things returned clear and quiet, and Hashirama explained his idea of the village to Sasuke. Hashirama imagines a beautiful future ahead.

Although Sasuke was not an idealist like Hashirama, he believed in the power of the latter, and said, “Patriark Hashirama, I'll help you convince my allies to join your cause, the Shimura family will have no problem with this. And others will most likely agree. Because for a small Clan like us, surviving in this period of a warring country is the most important thing, and joining hands with you will grant their wish.”

Sasuke then looked at Masahiko, “Now, patriarch Shimura, Ken will definitely agree.”

Masahiko thought to himself, “Shimura Ken, will also have a son of the same age as Hiruzen.”.

Sasuke was surprised, “How did you know? Yes, he has a son, his name is Danzo Shimura. But his talent is not as great as my son, he only has the attribute of wind.” Sasuke said this with a proud expression.

Masahiko sighed, “Your two sons will be one of the most influential figures in the world.”.

Sasuke looked happy, “I hope so, Sensei!”

Afterwards, Sasuke and Hashirama discussed their next move, while Masahiko and his students waited at the side, listening in boredom.

At the end of the discussion, Masahiko said, “Hashirama, I will bring my students back to Uzumaki, I cannot join you for the rest.”

Masahiko didn't want to join Hashirama any further because there were basically no witness points gained from this, and there was some urgency in Masahiko's heart.

Now that Madara had awakened his Eternals, he was afraid that he would have to face them again in the future. With his current strength, Madara would mop the floor with Masahiko. He wanted to quickly go back home and train. There are still five more years until Konoha stands, at least he needs four years of preparation for the next battle.

When Hashirama heard that Masahiko was leaving, he was stunned. At first, Masahiko looked very excited. She did not expect Masahiko to leave so soon.

“Second grandfather, your body..” Hashirama thought for a moment.

Masahiko rolled her eyes, “My body is fine, don't worry. And besides, I am still the great elder Uzumaki. There are many things in the clan that I have to deal with. ”

Hashirama did not believe what Masahiko said, but he did not stop her.

“Sensei, I hope next time I see you, it will happen in our village together,” Sasuke said.

Masahiko nodded, then turned around with his three students who looked unhappy to return this early.

A for 4-year-old Hiruzen, Masahiko did not bother to see her, because after five years…
