Long Live The Hokage

Chapter 41: Rising Storm

In the past month, after the founding of the Uzumaki Village event, Masahiko decided not to do anything at all, train, eat, sleep, and repeat. Everything seems so calm, relaxed. But he didnt know a storm was brewing from the north, ready to be unleashed.

After five years, Tobirama visited the Uzumaki residence, and Masahiko finally got a chance to see him again.

Tobirama, didnt you said that you will come to me when you develop a new Ninjutsu? Or do you think this Grandpa is no good for you anymore

Masahiko launched such rhetoric, putting Tobirama under pressure. Second Grandpa, recently, I had a lot of good ideas, such as illusions that can fool your opponent, a technique to multiply explosive tags, a water technique that helps you move faster

Masahikos face became gloomy and said: Infinite Darkness Jutsu, Tandem Paper Bombs, Instant Water Transmission Have been all developed.

Masahiko then looked at Tobiramas face, to find that the formers face was more ominous.

Did my older brother betrayed me and leaked this information to you, Second Grandpa? Im still developing these techniques, but you already know the name!

Masahikos face was stiff; he didnt realize that he said this out loud. He quickly nodded, Yes, your older brother is my inside man

Hashirama, sorry for the trouble

Far in the Senju residence, Hashirama was thinking about the development and construction of the village. Suddenly he sneezed. Then with a smile, he looked to the sky and said: Madara, are you thinking of me too?

Back in the Uzumaki clan, Tobirama is trying to trick Masahiko to go to the Senju.

Second grandpa, in addition to these few techniques, Im working on a new one.

Masahiko thought to himself, I feel like hes hiding something He already developed all of the techniques he had in the anime, the only one left is The Edo Tensei, however, he couldnt even complete it before his death. Thus, he will start working on it at least 10 years from now

Thinking about this, Masahiko suddenly remembered when Tobirama was chased by the Kinkaku forces, he put his hand on the ground, and he could detect all of the Shinobis around him and their strength level. Masahiko forgot the name, but he could remember the use of it. This must be some kind of perceptual class Shinobi technique.

Hey, what kind of Ninjutsu you are developing now? A Perceptual Ninjutsu? Masahiko asked decisively.

Detection type? Not really. He replied Tobirama got puzzled by Masahikos assumption. Is it essential to develop such a skill? Moreover, I already have the best perceptual shinobi by my side, so why wouldnt you go back with me, and help me with my new Ninjutsu? (Implying to Masahiko).

Masahiko shook his head, Youre still trying to trick me into going with you to the Senju. We can do it here. Why do we have to go back to the Senju? Just tell me, what is the matter?

Tobirama smiled awkwardly, he took a deep breath then sighed, I still cant fool you, Grandpa Its the Uchiha, weve been preparing for war recently.

What! Why didnt you tell me sooner? We have to go quickly. Ill pack my stuff. Masahiko turned and go, leaving Tobirama more confused than ever.

Masahiko rushed to his house while he looked very excited. Its finally time to war against the Uchiha! Konohagakure, here I come!

Masahiko thought about it, but he decided to bring his three disciples along. No one else from the Uzumaki is going, so his three disciples will have the most combat experience after this.

Hashirama will be there. I might end up facing the people from the Uchiha I hope the Ninja God and the Genius Shinobi Inventor would help me protect them They should be enough.

After an hour, Tobirama saw four peoples coming his way, carrying luggage.

After a brief explanation, Tobirama accepted, then they informed the Uzumaki Patriarch about this. Thus their journey to the Senju began.

On the way, Tobirama explained the situation to Masahiko.

Nine years ago, after Hashirama paid that visit to Madara, the two clans stopped fighting. However, the Uchiha has never stopped invading other small clans territories.

However, it seems they stopped dealing with small clans and decided to go bigger. Im afraid that Madara is going after my brothers head.

Masahiko heard Tobiramas explanation, but he didnt seem very worried about it. He wondered to himself, Im afraid thats not the case. This fight will leave Madara blind, and this will be the last battles between them

But Masahiko kept thinking. Its not like Madara to be reckless, he always been a man with a plan. He will move only if he has a plan. So if what Tobirama said is true then Hashirama will be in deep trouble.

Sensei, Uncle Tobirama is talking to you! Nanako said to Masahiko because she saw that Masahiko is lost in his thought.

Masahiko snapped, he regained his awareness, then smirked, What uncle? Tobirama? From my point of view, you should call him Tobirama-Senpai.

Upon hearing this, the three students reacted differently; Nanako just sighed and shook her head. Yuriko felt a little embarrassed, but she wanted to do it. And Kenichiro showed his excitement, then shouted: OOH! I understand, Sensei!

Masahiko felt embarrassed by his disciple behavior. Its different when you have a Lee Disciple, but youre not a Gai!

The quarrel between the teacher and disciple didnt really bother Tobirama, he even ignored it. He kept thinking about the Uchihas next step.

After reaching the Senju, he simply left his three disciples then got dragged by Tobirama to see Hashirama.

When he saw them, he looked delighted: Ah, little brother, youre finally back! A while ago, the Uchiha sent us a written challenge to war.

A written challenge to war? Masahiko looked puzzled. In the warring states period, albeit the constant battles between clan and families, he never heard even once a war invitation letter.

Show me the letter

Ah! Second Grandpa! Youre here too!

Masahiko didnt pay any attention to Hashirama, and he immediately took the letter from the top of the desk.

After three days, you will have a final showdown at the Valley of the Wind?

Masahikos looked pale as if he has seen a ghost. Its the decisive battle already? But its happening too fast. There was never anything mentioned in the story about a written challenge to war. Is this a new development? Masahikos head got filled with questions.

When Tobirama saw the content of the letter, he looked worried.

Big brother, is this a trick? What if they backstab us and attack the village after we go to the Valley of the Wind? Hashirama shook his head and said, No! Madara is not that kind of person! Now go prepare our people to depart tomorrow morning to the Valley of the Wind!

Big brother Tobirama is obviously didnt agree with this, but when he saw the long-lost serious expression on Hashiramas face, he couldnt help but nod in agreement.

So who will stay to protect the village?

Hashirama took a moment to think, then he answered, Let Sora stay

Sora Senju, after the Battle of Sarutobi Mine 9 years ago, has successfully reached the lower patriarchal level strength. Now, hes the new elder of the Senju.

Elder Sora Tobirama paused for a moment, then said, I understand, Ill inform the people.

After he walked out, Hashirama looked at Masahiko and said, Second Grandpa, this battle will not be like the ones we have faced before, if its too dangerous for you, you can just stay here

Masahiko nodded, Im here to protect my disciples. So dont worry, I wouldnt act rashly
