Long Live The Hokage

The next day, at the junction of the land of fire and the land of wind.

“Dance of Death!”

Kimimaro’s body was covered with bone spurs, and he swirled and rushed forward, piercing through the sand curtains.

“Sand Burial!”

The sand swept up and flew, obscuring everyone’s sight and stirring up a sandstorm.

The wind and sand dissipated, and Kimimaro hovered in front of Gaara’s neck with a bone spur in hand, and the latter was left helpless on the ground.

When the bone reached Gaara’s neck, Kimimaro pulled away.

“In an instant…” Temari and Kankuro, who were watching the battle from a distance, looked shocked.

The leader of the Sand Ninja Village, Jōnin Maki, looked like she was gnashing his teeth, and kept cursing in his heart:

‘I brought all three of them back to the Land of Wind, and you, Uzumaki Masahiko, chased after us three, and had to let Kimimaro-kun and Gaara learn from each other. Gaara now got defeated in a second, and you Uzumaki Masahiko still disappointed? What’s the matter with you? What do you want to prove here? The Land of Whirlpools is amazing? Uzumaki Masahiko is amazing, isn’t it? I’m sick of this, and I can’t hide it! ’

“Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, let’s go!” Maki said angrily, “Senior, can we go?”

Masahiko waved his hand. The disappointed look on his face still did not subside. He didn’t get a witness point just now!

“This didn’t work too?”

At this time, his dress was completely different from before. Because of his smaller stature, his previous clothes didn’t fit well. Early in the morning, he wondered all over Konoha and chose a handsome outfit for himself.

It is the all-white top of Sasuke in the original Shippuden, and the lower body is matched with blue pants. After buying it, he learned that the Sand Ninja team had left, so he hurriedly followed up with Kimimaro and the other three.

“Oh, there’s no such thing.” Masahiko sighed and smiled again. Karin, next to him, kept peeking at him, making him feel good…

“Elder, where did you buy these clothes? Kimimaro would be very handsome if he wears something like this!”

Masahiko’s face darkened: “Am I handsome?”

“… Barely.”

Masahiko breathed a sighed. Karin’s “reluctance” proves how much he’s very handsome, so that made him actually contented and happy…

“The clothing store in Konoha.”

“understood!”

“God, let’s go back.” Kimimaro returned. “I want to go to see Gai to learn from each other.”

“Go, take Karin with you, but be careful about getting hurt.” Masahiko pondered for a moment: “Haku, you will help me take care of the eleventh class for a few days. They instructed the Jonin to be Uchiha Hatsu. But Hatsu is now executing his last mission as an Anbu…”

“Elder, where are you going?”

Masahiko smiled: “Cultivating. It may be a few months before we meet again. Let’s go, go back!”

…

Konoha.

Masahiko didn’t add his points immediately. He still had a few things to do.

First of all, in the mental space, Madara, the evil barrier, refused to recognize Naomi as his second grandma…

Masahiko didn’t do anything, Madara was the mighty and irresistible type, but in the end he got the way to regain the eye’s power.

“Stop dreaming, old man!”

“Can’t you be nicer to me? Be careful, I’ll let Hashirama ravage you!”

“Hashirama is not my opponent here!”

Masahiko was startled, and then he remembered that Madara’s yin attribute should be much higher than Hashirama…

“Is there really no way to transmit?”

“Old man,” Madara said hesitantly, “I will answer you only if you bring Izuna’s soul from the underworld to this place!”

Masahiko smiled. It’s good to be willing to offer conditions.

“I can’t get in touch with Hagoromo for the time being. But I’ll do it, I promise. Can you tell me the way first?”

“……Come on, be a good boy?”

“…No! You think you can fool me, old man? I will beat you to death!”

“Dumbass!”

…

There was nothing to gain from this trip, but Madara reminded Masahiko that the most likely person who knew the way to supplement the power of the eyes was the Hagoromo himself.

“When Hiruzen is dead, I will try to pull Hagoromo again. I don’t know when Hiruzen will die though…”

After pondering for a long time, Masahiko flashed and went to the Hokage Building. The witness point of the Chunin exam has not been obtained yet, and this should be the last step.

In the Hokage Building.

“Hiruzen, why are you here, Obito?” Masahiko looked confused and had a little guilty conscience.

Hiruzen didn’t notice anything unusual, so he quickly got up to greet him, and said with a wry smile: “Shisui has just woken up, so Obito said he should take care of things in his clan first. I have to work hard for a few more days. You came just in time…”

“Is your body okay?”

Hiruzen was stunned and smiled. “Thank you for your concern. I can survive for two more years. But I can’t compare to you…”

Masahiko secretly pouted, how come everyone says ‘I can’t compare to you’ when they get old. Each one’s tone is quite regretful, it’s not like it’s his fault.

“Oh, this ancestor has accidentally returned to the age of 11, so I can live for at least 120 years…”

“Cough…!”

“Didn’t you say that you are in good health?”

Hiruzen: “…”

After a long silence, he sighed leisurely: “Let’s get down to business, Elder Masahiko. I’m worried about the Chunin exam.”

Masahiko smiled. “Hmm, and how is that?”

“The candidates that have been decided now are Tenten, Neji Hyuga, Shikamaru Nara, Sasuke Uchiha, and Hoshino Uchiha. But because of the sudden interruption in the middle of the exam, the candidates Toneri Otsutsuki and Naruto Uzumaki, including Sai, didn’t get the chance to show their strength, they…”

Masahiko pondered for a moment. It always felt awkward to let Naruto, the trouble maker, get the title of Chunin…

“It’s not that there is no next exam. Let them wait, don’t worry.”

Hiruzen nodded. “I’ll listen to you.”

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and signed a name on the document on the table, which represented that the result of this Chunin exam was set, and Naruto, who didn’t knew the truth yet, would probably fall into tears.

“Witness and greatly change the main storyline of Naruto World: Chunin Exam, get 50 (*8) Witness Points.”

Masahiko almost couldn’t restrain the ecstasy in his heart and laughed, “400 points? What a big gain! The Chunin exam is really the main line!”

At this moment, Hiruzen said hesitantly: “There is one more thing. Because of the interruption of the Chunin exam, many Konoha civilians, asked for the refund of the gambling money…”

“They dared!” Masahiko stared, and the Rinnegan’s eyes frightened Hiruzen: “Why would the ancestor return the money he won by his ability?!”

Won by his ability? This made Hiruzen became more and more certain that Orochimaru was found by Masahiko…

After a moment of silence, Masahiko spoke again: “Actually, not all the money won this time is put into my pocket. Half of it is given to the civilians in the residential area on the west side of Konoha, and the remaining half has to be given to the stupid cat who destroyed it. Right. It is impossible to refund the money, same as it is impossible to refund one’s life! I still have something to do, and I may not be able to come back in two or three months. The money is kept by Kushina for me. If I don’t see the money when I come back, you are the only one to blame!”

“You let me…”

Hiruzen said half of his words, looked at the empty Hokage office, and smiled helplessly again.

“You’re going to make me lose my life!”
