Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 89: Preserve Change

Inside the forging house.

As Masahiko raised the hammer in his hand, he did not put it aside for hours.

“What am I doing here?” Masahiko sighed and looked back at the many half-finished swords he needed to refine.

“How do I finally do a small job? Although I have managed to find a way to stay in Kumogakure, this kind of work is overkill!”

“I came all the way to Kumogakure to do volunteer work? Doing such a job does not suit my age.. What do I think? I haven't even met Brother Gold and Silver!” Masahiko gradually lost his temper and prepared to sneak out. After all, no one knows who “Namikaze Minato” really is, which will make it easier to disappear.

“Hah? Wait why is he here?” Masahiko felt familiar chakra approaching…

“I have a bad feeling about this ..”

That's B, the one who fought against Masahiko before, “Namikaze Minato, come with me..”.

Masahiko sighed and did not refuse. If this is going to end with a broken jaw, then why not just retaliate. Masahiko will run away soon.

B did not speak at all, and Masahiko did not ask, the two arrived at the Raikage building in silence.

Masahiko meets the second Raikage again. The last time he saw her was at the summit of the Five Kage. Back then, he participated as the bodyguard of the First Raikage. The Second Raikage clearly could not recognize Masahiko, who had changed.

Masahiko sensed many ninjas waiting for an ambush nearby. The weakest of them was Special Jonin. It seems that the Raikage has gathered all the elite shinobi in Kumogakure.

“It looks like this time will explode. The First Shinobi World War might break out because of me.” Masahiko sighed.

The second Raikage said nothing and just stared at Masahiko.

“It's a shame that the Gold-Silver brothers didn't come; otherwise, I would have killed them together.” Masahiko frowned and prepared to fight.

What happened next was beyond Masahiko's expectations.

The Second Raikage took Katana out from under his desk and threw her at Masahiko. It was one that he had previously beaten from the casino.

“Namikaze Minato, I redeemed your katana for you, and I have repaid the one million you borrowed to the casino, so you owe me now.”.

“Listen, I know you are strong, and I want you to do a mission for Kumogakure for a year to clear your debt. Of course, you can choose this or return to the forging house. Options are in your hands.”

Could it get better? All this time, he thought of a way to sneak into the Kumogakure line. And just as he was about to give up, the expected thing happened, which made him unable to help but feel that something was amiss.

“What do these ninjas do around us?” Masahiko sighed, “This guy thinks I'm stupid, if I agree at once, I will only prove the suspicions he has in mind.”

Masahiko blinked, then rubbed his hands, “Raikage-Sama! You know that two million Ryo a year is not enough to hire a ninja like me.”.

The Second Raikage felt surprised, he thought and considered every reaction Masahiko could make and prepared a countermeasure. But what is it about him being so greedy?

“How much do you want?” Raikage was silent for quite a while, then asked.

“How about two and a half million Ryo..” said Masahiko.

Second Raikage moved back to his seat, then frowned, “Not much ..” And actually handed over two and a half million Ryo.

Masahiko sighed, “Enough for me, I guess.” Masahiko took the money.

“No problem!” Masahiko said and left with a smile.

When Masahiko was far away, B said, “Kakak, this guy..”.

Second Raikage waved his hand, interjected, “I know, He can't be trusted!”

“We will take some difficult quests to test it. If he really is a lost ninja, we will use him to suppress the Kinkaku Army. I'm worried.”

B agreed. Then he chose a mission for Masahiko, but…

After half an hour of scouring through a bunch of documents to find a suitable task, Masahiko came back excitedly, “Raikage-Sama, I have to thank you for 500,000 Ryo, he said, You gave me a great opportunity to flip through the book. Here are the 3 million I won!”

Masahiko smiled, “Now after all my debts are paid, my contract is canceled, I am free!”

“Oh, and save the change. Goodbye!”

Masahiko did not wait for them to speak, and came out of the building without hesitation, muttering, “Hah! You think you can fool me? You weren't even born when I was weaned! But of course, it looks like something is wrong.”

Inside the Raikage building, the second Raikage and B were so confused that they kept looking at each other for a long time, thinking, “What the fuck is that?”

After a while, B regained his senses, and said, “Brother, it seems like I was thinking too much ..”

“Ya, I think we just over-thought this issue ..” replied the Second Raikage.

Masahiko then hummed all the way back to the hotel, feeling that things were better now.

“Wah... This is really a good opportunity for me to blend in..” Standing in front of the door, Masahiko muttered.

“No... Forget it. It was always troublesome to use the name Minato Namikaze. I will return after changing my identity.” Masahiko sighed, then prepared to enter when the Broker came out suddenly.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, the Broker rejoiced, and said, “Sister! You're back! I've heard that you were sent to a Forging House because you owe the casino gambling debt!

Masahiko's face darkened; although it was his plan at first, listening to that story from Chusuke, it somehow felt very embarrassing…

Just when he thought of a way to explain this, Broker opened the package behind him, and took out some money, “Sister, I borrowed this from the boss. You can take it to pay your debt .. “

Masahiko was a little speechless, he took the money and counted it…

“Two million, no more, no less.. The little old man was planning something.” Masahiko sighed.

After a while, Masahiko smiled and said, “You don't have to worry about your brother. And don't trust that little old man. Bring it back to him, we will return to Yugakure tomorrow, and then I will teach you some Ninjutsu.”

“Bulkah?” Chusuke was startled, then started chatting again for a few hours.

After a long time, Masahiko finally managed to expel Chusuke. He returned to his room, stripped off his clothes, and then collapsed in the hot pool.

After lying for a while, Masahiko did not know whether she should be happy or sad, “Mau how else. The little one.. almost took advantage of it.”.

After thinking about it, Masahiko sighed. “This boy is good, but he's like a broken cassette, he can't just keep his mouth shut. However, I guess I can still take care of one more student. And when I have the chance, I will bring it back with me to Konoha, Yugakure is peaceful, but many things are not true about the place.”
