Long Live The Hokage

In early July of the forty-fourth year of Konoha.

In front of the main gate of Muye Village.

Hundreds of civilians and ninjas gathered here to welcome the heroes returning from the battlefield of the Land of Rain.

The third Ninja World War has ended for half a month, the battlefield has been cleaned up, the wounded have been escorted back to Konoha in advance, and the ninja army finally returned.

The front of the welcoming queue is, of course, the Hokage Hirizan and Elder Konoha Danzo. Masahiko did not use his original identity, but took the appearance of a Taobao shop owner, and stood among the crowd with Obito, a young apprentice, and his daughter Sarah.

The leader of the ninja army is Kagami, followed by a group of high ninja led by Orochimaru, and behind that is a large army of chunin and low ninja, including those newly promoted chunin who got the "experience ticket" on the battlefield.

"Zirai isn't here? Did you go to collect materials?" Masahiko smiled and shook his head, with some guesses and disappointments in his heart.

In fact, he really wanted to see what exaggerated actions Jilai also made under the cheers of the crowd. As for Orochimaru, it's really boring to "shade" a snake face.

And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Orochimaru gave him a slightly weird feeling.

"Are you still exposed to human experiments?" Masahiko guessed.

Beside him, Obito's fighting spirit was almost on fire, and Masahiko saw that his eyes were firmly focused on Maitekai. It is worth mentioning that Obito was still defeated by Kai in the previous Chunin exam.

However, it was a blessing in disguise. After successfully opening the Shuanggouyu Sharingan, he was full of self-confidence and wanted to "recover shame".

Let alone Kai now, if Sakumo hadn't brought Kakashi to experiment with prosthetics in Uzumaki, Obito would have gone to "call" a long time ago.

The ninja troops received cheers and applause at the gate of Konoha for a while, and endured the baptism of "will of fire" for a few minutes before disbanding and returning to their respective families (clans).

"Okay, there's nothing exciting, let's go back." Masahiko tilted his head and said.

Obito's expression was very strange, it was an expression mixed with fear, anxiety and expectation.

"Hey, master, have you seen... Lin?" Obito stumbled and said.

Masahiko was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, with a sad face, "I didn't see it, Lin is afraid... war!"

Sarah covered her mouth in surprise.

Obito burst into tears immediately, "Impossible! We must have missed it."

"Obito, accept the fact. I'm also very sad about Lin..."

"I do not believe!"

As Obito said, he was about to rush out, but Masahiko grabbed him.

"You just opened the two-pointed jade, so this method really can't let you open the three-pointed jade?" Masahiko sighed.

Obito was stunned for a while, not understanding what was going on.

Sarah took her hand from her mouth, a smile that couldn't be concealed.

"Father, you are bullying Obito again, hasn't Lin been back for a few days?"

Masahiko smiled, and explained: "I think Obito seems to be... easy to open eyes, I want to stimulate him to try."

Looking at the ignorant Obito, Masahiko continued: "Do you see any wounded in the team just now? In a big battle, how could Konoha have no casualties? It's just for some reason, perhaps to reassure the civilians. Like, in order not to let them know the exact number of casualties, the wounded were secretly sent to Konoha Hospital. As a medical ninja, Lin came back a few days ago and has been busy in the hospital."

Obito gave Masahiko a sharp look, turned around and ran towards Konoha Hospital.

"Father, Obito seems to be angry."

Masahiko rubbed his chin, "It seems a little too much, but I'm doing it for his own good. Without some stimulation, when can I get three hooks, let alone a kaleidoscope..."

...

...

Time flies, another week.

Obito's anger came and went even faster, and at this time he was chatting about recent events in Konoha Village in front of Masahiko.

"Master, don't you know how surprised those uncles in the family were when they knew that I had opened their eyes, and that it was Shuanggouyu..."

"That guy Kai is really powerful. I was only able to draw with him after I opened my eyes. But I have already started to learn some advanced fire escape ninjutsu of the family, and I will surpass him soon... Kakashi is back, and I have to do a good job. Teach him a lesson!"

...

Masahiko listened to all kinds of talkative flaunting with a blank face, feeling helpless in his heart, thanks to the fact that he didn't open the three hook jade, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go to heaven?

"Master, do you know? Tsunade-sama and Oshemaru-sama among the Sannin are going to accept disciples, Lin has been preparing for this these days."

This sentence made Masahiko stunned, and he had some reactions.

"Why don't you go?" Masahiko said with a smile.

Obito and Minato only belonged to the mentors and apprentices on the team, so it wouldn't delay him from apprenticeship.

Obito looked around and lowered his voice, "Master, don't you think Oshemaru-sama is... difficult to get in touch with?"

"You're not confused."

It is a big joke that Obito worships Orochimaru as his teacher.

However, Masahiko was slightly concerned about this matter, because as expected, it would bring him some witness points.

In the next few days, Masahiko personally participated in the disciple selection of Tsunade and Orochimaru.

Tsunade's apprentice selection is very formal, it is simply an assessment of medical ninjas under the age of fifteen. After several layers of screening, and Masahiko's slight assistance, Tsunade made an exception and chose two disciples, Yuanye Lin and Jingyin.

Lin is more inclined to medical treatment and strange power, while Jing Yin is more inclined to make poison and detoxify.

"Guai Lilin?" Masahiko couldn't imagine what it would look like, but he still murmured silently in his heart: "Obito, please ask for blessings."

Later, at Orochimaru's place, Masahiko also got a piece of news that made him slightly concerned.

"You said that Zilai also accepted a disciple in the Land of Rain?"

Seeing Orochimaru nodded for confirmation, Masahiko pondered slightly, "It happens to be the Land of Rain, what a coincidence."

"That idiot, who knows what he thinks, although his new disciple has some ninjutsu foundation, but he is not young." Orochimaru showed a playful smile.

Masahiko no longer cared about the matter of recruiting disciples, but frowned and glanced at Orochimaru with a weird expression, "It's better to avoid human experiments or something."

Orochimaru nodded without denying it, "Understood, senior."

After that, Orochimaru began to choose apprentices, which was completely different from Tsunade. There was no assessment, and he didn't even go to see those candidates with his own eyes.

When he came to Hirizhan, he simply flipped through a few pages of the roster, and Orochimaru's eyes focused on a name.

"Just her, teacher."

Ri Zhan had a slight headache, "Are you sure you don't want to conduct an assessment?"

"No."

"Okay then, let's decide on this child named Mitarai Anko."

Masahiko gained another ten witness points from this apprentice selection, but he always felt a little incongruous. ) Download Free Reader!!
