Long Live The Hokage

Konoha Village, the land of the Sarutobi clan.

Sun Zhan has served as Hokage for more than 30 years, and his popularity is very good. Fortunately, the news of Ri Zhan's illness has not spread widely, otherwise the Sarutobi clan would not be able to find a place to stay.

When Masahiko arrived, only a few relatives and friends of Hirazan were there.

The only two remaining teammates of Ri Zhan are still in good health, and being weak has its advantages. They participated in fewer battles in the early years and left fewer old injuries on their bodies. Especially Zhuanzhu Xiaochun, as a medical and strategic ninja, he has at least six or seven years to live.

In addition to the two of them, Jiraiya and Tsunade, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and his wife Kakobamaru, Asma, and...Red were also present.

In fact, Hirizhan had just been ill not long ago, and he was still able to walk and move, but Tsunade issued a 'critical illness notice' after the examination, which caused everyone to gather here.

Seeing Masahiko arriving, Konohamaru rushed over directly: "Old ancestor, help Grandpa to check again, Aunt Tsunade must have made a mistake!"

Tsunade rubbed his wrists, this brat, how many times did he say he wanted to call me sister...

Masahiko touched Konoha Maru's head: "I remember you graduated this year. Since you have become a ninja, you should be more mature and stable, and dare to face your grandpa who is about to die."

Konoha Maru blinked, a little confused.

Thanks to Masahiko, most people would have been beaten to death if they dared to speak like that.

"Senior, you should help father take a look again." Shinnosuke didn't want to believe it either.

Masahiko nodded, took a few steps forward, and looked straight at Hizun with a smile on his face: "What else are you checking, Hizun knows it well."

Saying so, Masahiko still used medical ninjutsu in his hands, shook his head after a while and said, "If you want to eat or drink, hurry up."

Behind him, Konoha Maru burst into tears, with snot and tears rubbing against his mother...

Others may have been prepared for a long time, but they only showed a little sadness when they heard the words, while Ri Zhan himself was still teasing: "Senior, can't you be more tactful?"

Masahiko glanced at him: "What is so euphemistic about death, Tsunade told you, the soul will come to the ancestors after death, and..."

Masahiko paused, but did not continue. In fact, he can already use the natural technique of reincarnation, but he has to pay a considerable price.

It is impossible to revive on a large scale, but it is still possible to revive one or two people.

But the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, so it is not appropriate to revive anyone first. Masahiko thought about waiting for the remaining 600 witness points to be collected, and after reaching the full level, he will start walking...

Will there be witness points soon?

"Senior, how long do I have?"

Masahiko pondered for a moment: "After half a month, you will basically not be able to get out of bed. Then there will be another ten days or eight days and you will almost die. Just like the mirror back then, when a person reaches his limit, he will grow old day by day."

Konohamaru cried even more when she heard this...

Ri Zhan's face froze slightly, although he had been mentally prepared, but knowing the exact date of his death, it was really uncomfortable.

But looking at the children and grandchildren and two apprentices in front of him, and thinking about the increasingly prosperous Konoha, he should have no regrets in this life, regret...

"Has it been less than a month?" Hirizhan sat up from the bed: "Shinnosuke, tell Obito. Konoha Maru, Konoha Maru, let grandpa hug you. I'm afraid I won't be able to hug you in a few days. .”

Masahiko smiled and shook his head. After all, it is the veteran Hokage, and he is quite sensational...

The news that the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi was about to pass away gradually spread throughout Konoha, and countless people came to visit the Sarutobi Clan. Sending a little of his heart to the ground shows how popular Ri Zhan is.

Hizhan also aged day by day as Masahiko predicted, and could no longer get out of bed in mid-April. Therefore, the Sarutobi clan also rejected the inquiries of most Konoha ninja civilians.

...

Konoha April 16, 63, noon.

Kushina's house.

Minato took Naruto and Tsukika to the Sarutobi clan to visit Hirizan, leaving Masahiko and Kushina to sit and eat.

"Jiushina, are you really not going?"

"...not going."

"So vengeful?"

"Remember the vengeance!" Kushina vowed.

Masahiko shook his head and laughed: "It was true that Hizaru did something wrong with you and Minato back then, but wasn't the end result good? Where can I find such a good husband as Minato?"

Kushina blinked: "You said it like Minato and I wouldn't be able to get together without that incident. She is so beautiful, Minato will definitely take the initiative to find a way to pursue me, how can there be a third generation to add trouble?"

Masahiko: "..."

As a mother, is it really okay to learn how your daughter speaks?

"And the incident with Naruto back then..." Kushina continued, "If my Naruto wasn't so talented, I'm afraid I would have fallen for that old guy Danzo... In short, the third generation is too much!"

Masahiko rolled his eyes, Naruto is talented? You didn't say that before. This is due to the fact that Naruto has matured in the past two years, and he changed his mouth with a little shadow of Minato... I don’t know who Naruto looked like when he was a child!

"Grandpa, don't persuade me, I won't go! Don't persuade me again, don't persuade..."

"Okay, don't persuade me!"

Jiu Xinnai froze for a moment, then gritted her teeth and ate the food...

Seeing this, Masahiko smiled and said, "Why don't you go there? Over the years, I have killed you every day, so I can take revenge for you. No matter how deep the hatred is, it should dissipate with death, and there is no deep hatred between you. , Ri Zhan loved you very much when you were a child."

"Love me? Who knows if he wants to leave me as Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" Kushina let out a long sigh: "But since you are persuading me so much, grandpa, then I'll go and save face !"

Masahiko rolled his eyes again. After warming his eyes, he felt the pleasure of rolling his eyes for a long time. No wonder Ning Ci always rolled them. This action can perfectly express his displeasure...

"eat first!"

...

After lunch, Kushina followed Masahiko to the Sarutobi clan's place, Hizun's house, step by step.

"Mom, old ancestor, you are here to see the three generations of grandpas!" Yue Xia's voice became clearer and clearer, and she could be a singer instead of an actor...

Minato tilted his head when he heard the sound, and smiled sunnyly at Kushina.

His encouragement was much more useful than Masahiko's. Kushina immediately strengthened his determination, quickened his pace, and passed through several high-ranking Konohas who knew the truth of the year with complicated expressions, and came to the front of Hizan's bed.

Just as Masahiko said, when a person reaches the end of his life, he will grow old and look different every day. In the past half a month, Ri Zhan has been getting older and older, and at this time he is lying on his back on the bed and looking at Kushina gently.

"Jiushina is here. What happened back then... I did something wrong, so you still blame me."

Kushina was slightly silent when he heard the words, until Naruto, who realized that the atmosphere was not right, asked "what's the matter", and then recovered from the memory.

Looking at the terribly old Hizhan in front of him, Kushina sighed and shook his head lightly: "Actually... I don't blame you anymore!"

The past grievances are finally let go.
