Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 09: Help!

The gloomy atmosphere ruled the Uzumaki Residence for the rest of the day.

Hakubo is popular among members of the Uzumaki clan. Brilliant despite being young, handsome, and humble. If he were to study the Flying Lightning God, you would mistake him for Minato.

“Unfortunately, I was born in the era of warring countries.” Masahiko thought.

During his 48 years in this world, Masahiko had witnessed many deaths, until he was completely used to it.

He knew that there would be more tragedies in the future. Life always came with death in the world; otherwise, he would not have reincarnated here from the very beginning.

“Live... At least until you see the end of this story..” Masahiko sets his beliefs.

The next day, Masahiko got up early, had breakfast, then rushed to the hall.

The remains of yesterday's cemetery have not been thoroughly cleaned; hakubo's body was buried last night. But the mood still remains.

“Uncle, you are here.” The patriarch greeted Masahiko as he sat in the main hall. His face looks tired.

Masahiko knew that if his family was going to start a war with a stronger Clan, they would have to attack first, a preemptive attack. The pressure on the patriarch must have been heavy all along, he couldn't rush into making a decision. But Hakubo's death cannot be in vain. This war must happen.

“Uncle, you have to go to Senju and ask for their help.” The patriarch spoke.

“But if Senju joins the battle, Uchiha will definitely interfere.” Answer Masahiko.

“We have no choice. In terms of strength, we are far behind the Kaguya clan. Only by bringing the Senju and the Uchiha into the battlefield will we have a chance to win. The second elder had already gone to the Hyuga clan to ask for help.”

“Already? I understand I will soon go to Senju.” Masahiko nodded. He understood what the patriarch meant. If he managed to make this battlefield have all five sides, then Uzumaki would have a chance.

Masahiko went and walked along the same path he had gone through before. This is the third time this month.

“OK, I can do this.” Masahiko cheers himself up.

“Although there is a relationship in-law now, it will not be easy to convince Senju to provide reinforcement.” thought Masahiko. “I need to be smart and find a loophole to act.”

His journey was calm and smooth, without realizing he was already in the Senju region.

“Hmm. The chakra concentration is very high. Looks like Tobirama and Hashirama are doing something.” Masahiko could detect many Senju clans in the distance.

“They seem to be led by one of the East Senju elders, Tobu Senju.” Masahiko said while looking from a distance.

“Who's there?” Hashirama felt that someone was watching them from afar. Now their attention was on Masahiko.

Masahiko was surprised that he was noticed. So the Shinobi God could even sense it from this distance?

“Second Grandfather? Didn't you leave?” Tobirama was shocked when he saw Masahiko. Of course, just yesterday Masahiko said goodbye to him.

“Ahh... Yes, there is something I forgot to bring.” Masahiko said, without telling the true purpose of his arrival.

“The room should have been cleaned.”

Masahiko then interrupted Tobirama and said, “What is this? Am I not welcome here?”

“Of course not! You are more than welcome here, in fact, you can stay as long as you want. ” Hashirama replied with a smile. But Tobirama's face looked dark.

Sure enough Masahiko replied, “Alright if this is the case, why don't you start doing some Signatures to use your Wood Elements, and wake me up a cabin here, I'm sure, it will be warm in winter and cool in summer, it is more comfortable than a restroom right? ”

Hashirama looks confused, “Am I wrong, Tobirama?”

Tobirama shrugged…

“Come on, I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously.” Masahiko said with a smile, “Hey, where are you going?”

Before Hashirama could speak, one of the elders said, “Coughs.

Masahiko shook his head and went towards the residence of the Senju clan.

“This kind of lie will not deceive me.” thought Masahiko.

“Does he think he can fool me with such a lie? Tobu leads the team with Hashirama and Tobirama in it, along with a group of elite shinobi. It can only mean one thing.”.

“Everything has changed now.. I no longer need to ask for help.. Diplomacy can sometimes be very complicated.”.

Masahiko thought for a moment and made up his mind.

“I will go back there and do nothing.” murmured Masahiko, and she went straight to her room. He picked up some stones and stuffed them into his bag as if they were items that were lost yesterday.

“It's about time..”

As he went to the hall, a guard stopped him and said, “Masahiko-Dono, the patriarch calls you.”

“I know.” Masahiko replied with a smirk.

“Yes, stay firm now ..” Masahiko thought inwardly as he walked into the main hall.

“Ah Masahiko, back to pick up something? Did you find it?” As soon as he entered the hall, Butsuma greeted him.

“Yeah, yes, sort of..” Masahiko answered briefly and did not take the initiative to open the conversation.

Butsuma was silent for a while, then she said: “We are both already sons-in-law, the family should have helped each other.”

He sighed then continued: “I'll get straight to the point, the Kaguya family suddenly interrupted our brothers in eastern Senju. Various tribes are bothering us, and I hope Uzumaki can help us fight against the Kaguya clan.”

“Oh, this decision I cannot make on my own. I have to consult the patriarch and the other elders first. ” Masahiko replied while laughing inside.

“Alright then, I hope you can bring me good news!”

“Believe Butsuma-Dono, I will try my best to persuade our patriarch. Anyway, now we are family. There shouldn't be too many problems.” Masahiko quickly took this opportunity to act like a good person. Even Butsuma was slightly moved, and instantly, she looked at Masahiko in a different way.

Masahiko then said goodbye to Butsuma. He returned home with a bag of stones, of course the stones were thrown in the middle of the road. There is an actual type of equipment for weight training, there is no reason to use a few stones.

Returning to the Uzumaki Clan, the patriarch himself greeted Masahiko.

“Uncle, back so fast? Did Senju agree to help us?” The patriarch asked.

“Yah... Senju asked for our help..”, Masahiko replied.

“What?”

Then Masahiko explained the situation to the clan patriarch.

“Is that so? Well, this works better for us. Senju will be the main attacking force, and our people will receive fewer casualties.” The patriarch smiled and continued: “If this is the case, I do not have to go alone, let the elders go with Senju.” The patriarch smiled.

“...I'll go too.” Masahiko hesitated first, then replied.

The patriarch was confused, it was not unusual for Masahiko to volunteer to participate in the war, the previous patriarch had to force him to participate in the battle. But why now?

“Alright then, please be careful.”

“Then, I'll be back to prepare.” Masahiko ended the conversation, then he went home.

“From now on, I have to participate in everything.” Masahiko sighed.

“I hope this war will be appreciated ..”
