Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 98: Life is Always Hard

Masahiko, who was sitting on the slope in Shikkotsu Forest, sighed.

“They correctly classified Hachimon Tonkou as a forbidden technique.”

It had been one month since the Battle of Thunder Land. Masahiko fell into a coma for half, and recovering for the other half, he could still feel the pain in his body.

“Wah... It's really nice so Uzumaki, almost like cheating.. But still, I almost lost Tobirama.”.

Over the past month, Masahiko has been reflecting and evaluating herself. Relying on his knowledge and prophetic powers, he realizes that he not only nearly destroyed Kumogakure, but also trapped Iwagakure in the process.

He was happy that he had saved Tobirama, grew old again, and lost much of his strength.

Looking at his status bar, Masahiko sighed again, and again.

Name: Uzumaki Masahiko

Age: 67 (-)

Chakra :1108 (+)

Physical :402 (+)

Technique :5133 (+)

… and so on.

Rating : S+

Witness Points: 300

“This is really a disaster, I accidentally lowered my self-rating. If I don't get 300 witness points from saving Tobirama, I'm afraid I'll be weak again.”.

In terms of physique, his attributes had dropped by more than half. On the one hand, it's because of his age. On the other hand, due to the old use of Hachimon Tonkou, it had caused great weakness to his body.

Masahiko hesitated for a long time, then he decided not to spend his witness points to reduce his age. It could be reduced automatically thanks to the system from year to year, so it was better to keep witness points to increase the other seven attributes.

“If I have not messed up before with carving, gambling. My seven main attributes are already at the eighth level. Then I might be able to kill Ginkaku and Kinkaku faster, and.”.

After the battle of the Late Valley, Masahiko was completely relaxed, thinking that no one could threaten him; he never focused on improving his stats.

But after this battle, he finally understood how far he was from Madara and Hashirama. If only one to three S rank ninjas, he could face them, if four, he could play a little. If it's five, then he'll start fighting, and if it's six, it's better to run …

Although among all the large villages, it was not only Konoha that had five to six S-class Shinobi, in general, there was no possibility of so many elites to surround it.

It didn't feel right for Masahiko to die in the first war. This time he not only underestimated how dangerous it was to fight against five Shinobi S-Class but he also nearly lost Tobirama in the process.

“And I did not achieve anything from the goal I had before.” Masahiko wanted to know that the Lightning Chakra Mode had been lost, he said, he did not feel that the Third Raikage would be willing to teach him after Masahiko he bombarded him.not once, but twice. He did not regain the nine-tailed chakra as well, as he sent his Golden and Silver Brothers directly to the Underworld. And he did not know the current situation of the Six Paths weapon, so he could not go back and look for it.

“Fortunately, Tobirama congratulations..”.

“Masahiko-Sama, this is your food..” One of Katsuyu's clones uprooted Masahiko's mind.

“Oh, at the right time.. What, just grass? Come on, Katsuyu-Sama, bring me meat.”

“There are no other animals in Shikkatsu. Where can I find meat for you?”

…….

Eating a few mouthfuls of leaves and grass, Masahiko felt his body was already green. He could not stand the life in this Shikkatsu Forest.

He immediately went to look for one of Katsuyu who was still attached to Tobirama's body.

“He was seriously injured. I had to use Natural Energy to keep him alive a few days ago, he had just started to slowly recover. ”

“It will take how long?” Masahiko asked again.

“I'm not so sure it depends on his own recovery ability. It will take a minimum of three months, or a maximum of one year.”

“A long time ..” Masahiko whispered, “Do you think he will last this long without eating?”

No matter how strong a shinobi is, he still needs to eat.

The stronger you are, the more you eat. Masahiko only eats twice a day because there is nothing but grass here. If there is meat, he will eat 8 times a day …

“No problem, as long as I cling to her, I can put the nutrients she needs every day into her body.” The snail spoke slowly.

Masahiko looked puzzled, could snails inject nutrients? What's the matter, Kishimoto?

“I noticed that you looked very uncomfortable for the last half month ..” Katsuyu said.

Masahiko took a deep breath, then sighed, “Life became so difficult.”

Masahiko shook his head; he really couldn't bear to stay here any longer.

“Katsuyu-Sama, I came to say goodbye. Thank you for your help, but I've been away for so long, my Village is at war with Sunagakure, and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.”

“When Tobirama wakes up from his coma, please let me know.”

“Go, good luck ..” Katsuyu promised, and Masahiko turned and left.

Leaving the Shikkatsu forest through the cave, Masahiko looked at Rashomon, and muttered, “Where did you hide the Rashomon scroll, Hashirama? Should I sign it too..?” Masahiko felt like he had lost some defensive techniques in his arsenal.

“The battlefield should not be that far, let's go and see first.”

Masahiko flew towards the battlefields of Sunagakure and Konoha and arrived just ten minutes later.

“No?” Masahiko's sensing ability is fully on. He looked at the battlefield, and he could see many ninjas who had not been completely buried by the sand.

“Huh... Fortunately, judging from the forehead protector, the number of victims from the Konoha side is less than one-third of the victims from the Sunagakure side. This is a big advantage for Konoha, we can win.”.

After confirming this, Masahiko slowed down his pace and flew towards the Village. He knew that since they won the war, all that remained was an inner conflict.

“I assume that they are now fighting amongst themselves for the third Hokage position. Hahaha..Let them fight, I can't wait to see their expressions when I return to the Village.” Masahiko said with a mischievous expression.

Masahiko's appearance now was not the same as it used to be. In the past, he seemed to be 53 years old for maintaining the Transformation Technique. But such an age was not considered old for the Uzumaki Clan, they had barely even lost their strength. Now he is 67 years old, no need to change his appearance, but his body has changed like an old man, his face is now full of wrinkles, all of his hair has turned white. Most likely those who were not close to Masahiko would not recognize him now.

“Appearance like this saved me from the use of transformation .. But, I will not be able to enter through the main entrance.”

Masahiko then flew to the west side, looking for which entrance he should take. He saw that the west gate was more approachable.

“Only will use the west entrance..Conoha's hidden charm was designed by me.. So I can easily pass through.”.

“I did not notice before, but the west side of the village is beautiful, there is a mountain, water, wood ..”

Masahiko looked up, and suddenly his expression changed.

“What the heck?”

Suddenly an unknown object fell on him, and Masahiko hit the ground hard, feeling a little dizzy.

Masahiko looked at him, “Good now, suicidal people are falling on my head. Life must be difficult.”.
