Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 53: Watching and Helping! (Late Volume 1)

With the end of the battles of Masahiko and Madara, the Warring States period finally ended, and Masahiko also gained 20 witness points.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju agreed to make peace with all the other shinobi clans and formed an alliance, a society, a new village, this was the formation of Konohagakure, a village hidden by leaves.

“Second Grandfather, can't Uzumaki really join Konohagakure?” ask Hashirama.

Masahiko smiled bitterly, “Sorry, but we really can't.”

Over the years, Uzumaki has become the “th largest” family in the Warring States, its population has reached one million, the number of shinobi is around ten thousand, and more children are born every day. Even Masahiko is thinking about “family planning”.

“If Uzumaki joins Konoha, then I fear you will not build a village but rather a country,” Masahiko explained.

“Hmph, old man, Konoha is better without you.” On the side, Madara said in annoyance.

Masahiko felt speechless and did not know how he could offend Madara.

“I will talk to my nephew when I return, Uzumaki will always be an ally of Konoha.” Masahiko said, then throw away face, “I will often pass by, village without war, not bad for parents.”

Madara then snorted, “Old man, I don't think you have much time to live, so you better take care of yourself!”

Masahiko ignored him, then he asked Hashirama, “What about Tobirama? Why don't I see it?”

“Oh, hahaha.. Tobirama is busy with the arrangement of clans.” Hashirama replied with a laugh.

Masahiko shook his head and smiled, “It has become my best friend.It is a pity, I cannot say goodbye.”.

“Alright then, I'll be back.”

Masahiko said goodbye to Hashirama and then returned to Uzumaki.

…

Back to Uzumaki…

Masahiko looked at the crowded and noisy people and sighed.

“I almost forgot, three more days New Year!”

“Sensei! You're back!” A familiar voice greeted Masahiko. He turned around, then he moved his mouth slightly and lowered his head …

“Kenichiro, why are you talking to me upside down?”

“Sensei, this is my new exercise. I will stand upside down and walk around the village.” Kenichiro answered loudly.

“Yes, you can go..” Masahiko turned around and quickly left, with how crowded Uzumaki is now he does not want people to think he took a strange person as a student.

“Oh!” Kenichiro answered.

“Wait, back! What about Yuriko?” Masahiko stopped Kenichiro and asked.

“Oh yes, I almost forgot! He's at Nanako's house..”

Masahiko waved his hand, “I understand!”

Masahiko then crossed the vast village of Uzumaki, and his mind gradually floated.

“Eight years ago, she was just a girl who poured me a bucket of cold water, now a mother? Time really quickly passed..” thought Masahiko, he smiled a little. “Ahhh... How have I become more sentimental lately, recalling old memories, I am sure getting older.”

“In retrospect, I lived for 24 years before, because now I am 66 years old. I'm actually 90 years old, the life of an ordinary person.”.

“But I can live more than 90 years and do more! Masahiko-Sama's life will never be mediocre!”

As he was deep in thought, Masahiko did not realize that he had already reached the clan hall.

“Uncle! You back? Did Uchiha Madara win against Senju Hashirama? I know that! He's a beast! ” Patriarch said as he looked at Masahiko.

“Second Uncle.. But everyone has seen the towering wooden palisade and the blue Susanoo.” The patriarch obviously did not believe him.

Masahiko was getting upset. Madara used his Susanoo but to fight it, and the giant wooden palisade was only there to protect the Senju Land.

After thinking about it, Masahiko did not explain it further. His supreme strength was still unknown.

“Well, it was won by Hashirama. Senju and Uchiha unite now, and create a village called Konoha.”

The Patriarch's expression suddenly changed, and the politician who had more than 20 years of experience as a patriarch suddenly thought of this and its impact on the world.

Once Konoha stands, even if Hashirama becomes its leader, it would be difficult to maintain such an intimate relationship between them because now not only the Senju but the Uchiha and the other clans were also part of this new village.

“Wow, instant response!” Masahiko laughed. “Although we cannot join Konoha, at least we should have our name in their alliance, and maybe send some of our people there to make a tribe.”

Patriarch hesitated …

“Come, big nephew, don't you want to set up a country?” Masahiko scratched his head.

Patriarch smiled.

“A patriarch always needs to walk on a straight path. Don't you want to make a big name for yourself?” Masahiko grinned, “I'm in my fifties, and I can still serve you for a few more years.”

The Patriarch saw Masahiko.

“Hey, your second uncle here is special!” Masahiko.

“After the formation of Konoha, other major countries will also build their own hidden villages, if we are not bound to Konoha by then, we will end up eating jujube pills!”

(T/N: Jujubes have been used in traditional medicine for anxiety and insomnia.)

Masahiko makes a solid argument. The Patriarch was now beginning to think that Masahiko's unrealistic ideas made sense.

Actually, it's not realistic. With Masahiko's current strength, he wasn't afraid of the other party. However, Masahiko did not want to be tied to the Clan all the time.

After the New Year, Masahiko walked down a familiar path, thinking that it would not take much time before the village was fully formed, “This year can be said to be the end of the Warring States Period.”.

In the period of the warring countries, Masahiko had lived for 67 years, the first 48 years felt like a waste, but the last 19 years had been a blast for him.

“After the establishment of Konoha, I will be able to calm down a little and use some of my points, I will also have the opportunity to see some characters that I have never seen before ..”

Konoha's development is not as fast as it seems. There is a lot of work to be done for Hashirama. He had to contact Daimyo, divide the territory for each clan, and set up a civilian district.

During this busy year, Masahiko often visited to see the progress of construction. After all, flying is very convenient…

Konoha's power is divided by four, with each side occupied by the Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, and Hyuga.

Uzumaki can occupy a good place by relying on Masahiko's status and their population, while Hyuga relies on their good relationship with Daimyo…

“Now come to think of it, Hyuga did a nice maneuver back then, visionary..” Masahiko sighed.

Coincidentally, Shimura and Sarutobi, who live close to the Uzumaki clan, manage to gain a place given their relationship with Masahiko, and their previous War of Mine.

Until the end of the year, most Uzumaki who helped build Konoha returned to the clan, with the news that Konoha will officially stand on New Year's Day.

Upon hearing the news, Masahiko flew high into the sky.

And using all his strength, he shouted:

“The Warring States Period has ended!”

His voice sent ripples through the clouds….
