Long Live The Hokage

Under the wooden bridge, beside the stream.

The three children were simply cleaning the dust off their faces.

Because the cave was "exploded" by Masahiko, the three of them are now completely dirty from top to bottom, but this place in the wilderness can only be cleaned briefly.

"Well, it's almost there, let's pack up and go back to Konoha, and go back and clean it."

Masahiko's body can be said to be "spotless", and he has been attacked by Kushina's white eyes one after another, and he can't bear it.

Xiao Nan hesitated, "Teacher, we don't seem to have enough medicinal materials."

Masahiko smiled, and took out two seal scrolls, "I mean you don't know how long you can collect them, this is enough."

Although there is only one level of pharmacy, it is enough to identify these simple medicinal materials, and unknowingly collected medicinal materials full of two sealed scrolls.

"Then let's go back, grandpa." Jiu Xinnai said, as the little princess of the country of vortex, although she is not spoiled, she still can't bear the dust on her body.

Masahiko nodded, took the three children and flew up again, heading towards Konoha, smiling and glanced at the jungle not far away on the way.

The four Shangnin Village ninjas were among them, and they picked up the four skateboards that Masahiko and the others had left behind.

"Brother, they left and didn't go back to find the abacus."

"I saw it. I made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for nothing. You don't care if they leave or not."

...

In the air, Masahiko snickered and touched the bank note in his arms. He didn't really use money to buy it, but just used some illusion to interfere. It is estimated that tomorrow they will find that the bank note has turned into a leaf. Who makes sense...

The journey that has been traveled once will be smoother when going back. But after all, Masahiko was still carrying an "Ancestor Salamander", so his speed was even slower.

"Teacher, is that salamander in your hand really a big salamander?" Xiao Nan hesitated for a while before asking.

Masahiko was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uncertain, "It should be, it doesn't matter if it's not, let's change the taste of Bingliangwan..."

What he said was very irresponsible, anyway, he wouldn't use Bingliang Wan.

At the entrance of Konoha Village, Masahiko didn't land either. With such a big thing in his hand, he couldn't drag it past the village entrance. He simply flew directly to the front of the Hokage Building. The "long-term mission" that lasted two and a half days was declared over.

"Hizhan, come out to receive the goods, this is a big salamander." Masahiko shouted with a smile.

Ri Zhan came out with a serious expression, even dignified, "Elder Masahiko, you are back."

Masahiko was taken aback, "What's wrong? The third ninja world war has begun?"

Ri Zhan shook his head, "It's the news from the country of the vortex, the name of the country of the vortex is critically ill..."

"Who?"

"grandfather?"

Masahiko and Kushina were surprised at the same time.

Hirizhan nodded with a serious face, proving that Masahiko heard correctly.

"Grandpa..." Jiuxinna became anxious all of a sudden.

Masahiko waved his hand and looked at Hirazan, "Has Nanako gone back?"

"gone back.

"

Masahiko nodded, took out the sealing scroll from his arms, threw it over, took the three children and flew up again, and went straight to the country of vortex.

"It's been less than a year since we met last time. Gensuke is only 65 years old. How come... 65 years old?" In the air, Masahiko continued to accelerate, feeling emotional in his heart.

The three children were blinded by the wind and couldn't speak, and they didn't want to speak.

The three of them are still covered with dust, but even Kushina didn't care to clean it up.

In just half an hour, Masahiko returned to the country of vortex under the constant acceleration.

"Nagato, Xiaonan, you go back and clean up first, I will take Kushina there first."

Masahiko took Kushina directly to the entrance of the daimyo palace, ignored the various greetings from the guards, and entered the palace directly.

"Teacher, you are back." Yizi greeted her first.

"How is Gensuke?" Masahiko actually sensed that his Chakra was very weak, but he still asked in disbelief

One sentence.

As expected, Yiko shook her head lightly, and Kushina rushed in immediately.

Masahiko sighed and didn't rush in.

"what happened?"

"Gensuke may be too tired..." Yiko sighed, although she hadn't gotten along well with Gensuke, she felt a little sad at this moment.

"Are you too tired..." In fact, Masahiko didn't think much of Gensuke. He was ambitious, but he didn't have the brains to match him, and he didn't have the tenacity that a ninja should have.

But for so many years, Masahiko has mostly been a hands-off shopkeeper, and it is really thanks to him that Uzumaki Country can develop steadily.

"How is Nanako feeling?"

"I'm fine, teacher."

As soon as Masahiko asked, Nanako walked out from inside, not as sad as Masahiko imagined.

"You..." Masahiko hesitated, but he couldn't say any words of comfort. He really didn't know how to comfort him. Could it be that he wanted to say, "Life, old age, sickness and death are human nature"?

"It's okay, teacher, I've already prepared for this day." Nanako shook her head.

"Before I went to Konoha, I found that his health was not very good. I also persuaded him to take a rest, but he refused. At that time, I knew that such a day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

"Is that so?" Masahiko nodded, "Let's go in."

I haven't seen Gensuke for just a year, he is like a different person, he is old and out of shape, and he is on the verge of death.

Inside the house, Gensuke and Nanako's son and daughter-in-law stood aside, and Kushina was sobbing softly.

Gensuke also saw Masahiko, and there was a smile on his old face, and he nodded to him.

Masahiko was slightly silent, and smiled at him, Minsuke closed his eyes with relief.

Others quickly surrounded him, and Masahiko shook his head helplessly, "I didn't get my approval until before I died, so what is there to be gratified about?"

Masahiko didn't know how many times a white-haired person gave... a black-haired person sent a white-haired person, but he still felt a little depressed.

"Teacher, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. You don't need to be too sad." Masahiko never expected that it would be Nanako comforting him at this time, completely upside down.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death..." Masahiko nodded and walked out.

He knew in his heart that Nanako was not comforting him now, but that she knew that the day when she and Yitong Yiko grew old would not be far away, maybe five years? ten years? At that time, Masahiko may have to send them away one by one.

"It's not good to live too long." Masahiko said with emotion, he has already sent away too many juniors, if it wasn't for his natural optimism and "acquaintances" who were born one after another, maybe he would have lived enough...
