Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 68: Hokage Stone

Madara's departure did not affect the daily lives of Konoha's civilians in general. Everything goes as it is. Time goes on as usual. The only difference now is how small Uchiha rights are in Konoha.

Although one of the Uchiha elders had taken Madara's position on the council, namely Uchiha Izumi, it did not make any meaningful changes. Even when Madara sat on that council, he could not make a sound from the other elders.

Five years have passed in Konoha, and the village has been officially established for four years.

Masahiko took a walk around Konoha, and he could still see some of the decorations left over from the previous celebration.

Since Madara's departure, Masahiko has placed the importance of becoming stronger first in his agenda. For the past six months, he had been trying hard to become stronger. He trained hard, he also tried to adapt to his strength. He was also trying to find a way to combine the attributes of Yin and Yang…

To date, however, no significant progress has occurred. Just for New Year's Day, Masahiko decided to stop, and went out to relax.

However, Masahiko could not help but think of the reason behind the fusion failure of the Yin and Yang attributes. Just as he was deep in thought, a bang woke him up. He looked to the source of the sound, to find a man toiling there on the side of the cliff behind the Hokage building.

“Is that Hokage Stone Sculptor?” Masahiko muttered to himself. He already knew that this idea had existed since the founding of the village. Of course, Hashirama initially wanted to carve Madara's face as the real Hokage and change the impression of the villagers on him.

In the end, he became Hokage, Hashirama did not want to discuss the matter anymore for fear that it would cause misunderstandings. However, now that Madara had left, the construction of the Hokage Stone had finally begun.

Masahiko involuntarily jumped like a child under the Hokage Stone.

“This is the icon of Konoha, the famous Hokage Stone. I can already see Hashirama's face forming.”.

The Shinobi who was carving the Hokage Stone, suddenly saw Masahiko below him, then quickly ran towards him.

“Overage!” She said.

Masahiko glanced at the Hokage Stone again, then nodded, praising her work, “You have done a good job. His face is well engraved..”

Sculptor smiled, “You are an overly generous elder. Actually, it's not that hard. As long as you can find a good Face Ratio, you can do it. Mr. Hokage's face is about 6:4, 3.5% of the whole..”.

Sculptor still explained the process in detail, but Masahiko paid no attention at all. His mind was focused on his first sentence, a good “Rasio, yes ..”

“Does the Yin and Yang attribute also require a good ratio to combine?” Masahiko muttered.

He had previously managed to merge two different bloodline boundaries directly; thus, he had not thought of this idea before.

As he thought about it, Masahiko completely ignored the Sculptor, then he tried to fuse the Yin and Yang in his body once again.

After trying many times, he finally found the most stable ratio for the Yin and Yang attribute, which is 2:8.

Masahiko wanted to be happy, but the pain in his body prevented him from showing it, he looked bitter, as parts of his chakra were mixed in his body. Fortunately, he only used a little; otherwise, he would have fainted…

Masahiko's vision was unstable for some time. After a while, he started to feel fine again and looked towards the Sculptor who was still explaining, and with a wry smile, he said, “Oh Bro, I can only pity you.”.

Hiccup!

Hiccup!

Chakra gathering, then release!

So when the Sculptor explained his work to Masahiko, the first one started hiccupping, then he opened his mouth with a strange expression. A small black dot appeared, then.The bigger it is!

Masahiko was in the middle of the village, and could not shoot anywhere, so he was aiming for the Hokage Stone.

The Hokage stone is hardly hewn and chiseled! It was baked and broken!

“Splisters! You...”

“Sorry, I don't know what happened. It looks like I have made Bijuu-Dama (Tailed Beast Bomb).”.

After half an hour…

Hashirama looked at Masahiko and the Sculptor, he felt a little dizzy, then he sighed.

Hashirama felt dizzy looking at Masahiko.

“Second Grandfather, so you said that you accidentally destroyed the Hokage Stone?”

Masahiko then replied, “I don't know what just happened. Looks like I have turned into a tailed monster, and formed Bijuudama.”.

Obviously, no one believed him, but Masahiko didn't know how to explain it any better.

Then Masahiko took the initiative to provide a solution, “Don't worry, isn't it just the Hokage Stone? I, Second Grandpa, will personally carve it for you!”

“Older Masahiko, you don't have to do that. I'll do it again!” At first, Sculptor did not say anything. After all, one was the Hokage, and the other was a great elder. But when he saw how Masahiko offered to sculpt it himself, he could not maintain such an idea.

For him, it would be an incredible achievement for a Sculptor to make the Hokage Stone with the First Hokage's face. He didn't want to give up on such a fantastic opportunity.

Masahiko also thought the same, and said, “Let's do it together, after all, two people will do it faster.”.

So, for a while, Masahiko joined the Hokage Stone carving.

In the beginning, of course, there was a lot of confusion, mistakes, and disorganized things. This was the first time Masahiko had carved. And somehow, the Sculptor's job did not become lighter but became heavier.

However, one day later, Masahiko had already become an expert at sculpting, which made the Sculptor truly feel astonished.

The reason was of course because Masahiko used a bit of his witness points to boost his skill.

Sculpting: LV6 (10000/20000)

Although he still had 20 witness points, he did not include much in Sculpting, as he did not need to be The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor to carve Hashirama's face on the rock.

(T/N: The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor: Popular Korean Novel, otherwise shameless xD)

A month later, Masahiko, who finished sculpting the Hokage Stone, stood beneath it excitedly.

“Here in the future, we will carve the faces of Tobirama, Hiruzen, Tsunade, Kakashi, and Naruto.” Masahiko said unknowingly.

“What? You can't carve Tobirama's face. She's just Hashirama's bodyguard.”.

“Second Grandpa! I heard you're done working on the Hokage Stone?” Masahiko suddenly heard a familiar voice. It was Tobirama.

“Yes I did! Ask your brother to come and see!” Masahiko turned around, smiled at Tobirama, and found that the Sculptor was gone, “It looks like the Sculptor has gone first to tell your brother.” Masahiko said.

“Second grandfather .. Didn't you make my brother's face a little too serious?” Tobirama saw the statue and then returned to Masahiko. But before Masahiko could say anything, Tobirama said, “But this is true.”

“I think so too. If future generations know that the first Hokage has a funny face, I am worried.

After a while, Hashirama joined the scene and looked very happy with his work. It seemed like he was really a serious man deep down…

Masahiko finally finished his work, and now he had time to work on combining Yin and Yang.

“I didn't really become a tailed monster. After all, I'm not Jinchuriki.” Masahiko tried again in the open space. And the result was the same; he spewed Bijuudama out of his mouth. “Sial! I've become Bijuu!”

He then added 2:8 Yin and Yang chakras to his Rasenshuriken. And the color changed to black and purple, its destructive power increased greatly, but the consumption of its chakra did not increase that much.

“In this way, besides the Dust release, now I have another killer move! Although its power is not that high, it will save more Chakra .. ”

“But sure enough, I.. Can fire Bijuudama from my mouth..”.
