Long Live The Hokage

Chapter 246: The Promise

Chapter 246: The Promise

Not long after Masahiko walked out of the Hyuuga Clan, the two brothers gathered their clansmen, and after reporting back to Hiruzen, they went straight to the battlefield under the leadership of Hizashi.

As for Hiashi, he stayed to study with the other elders, the Tenketsu hoping to restore the Hyuugas lost inheritance; Masahiko wasnt in a hurry. He was gonna wait for the result while practicing his Space Ninjutsu.

Masahiko delayed testing the 64 space vortexes for the time being. It was too troublesome for him to fly around. And he will have many other chances in the future.

The improvement of his Chakras control ability has become his only task. Even the lowest level of dust release cannot be released, which really annoyed him.

Time flies while practicing, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Masahiko looked at the small white crystal cube in his palm and smiled with satisfaction.

You think a mere space Ninjutsu can stop me?

Masahiko took a deep breath and concentrated his Chakra on the palm of his hand. This was already strong enough to kill someone.

Father, youre still practicing?

Saras voice startled Masahiko, which made him almost lose control over the Dust Release in his hand and immediately disappeared, entering his dimension.

Meow! The fat cat screamed as a part of its hair was wiped out by the Dust Release, which almost hit it.

Picking up the fat cat, Masahiko flashed out of his dimension and appeared in front of Sara, who had a blank expression.

Father, where did you go? What happened to Shiro?

Shiro? Masahikos mouth twitched, and he looked at the fat cat. Such an exquisite name is a waste on such a boring cat.(T/N: Shiro is a very intelligent dog in the anime Crayon Shin-Chan.)

I just shaved the fat cats head. Its okay. What time is it? Why are you back?

The fat cat was really frightened this time and shrank into Masahikos arms, turning into a trembling little fat cat.

Sara smiled, Due to the war, there isnt much business. I talked to the master, and we decided that to work in shifts. This way, we can rest a little longer.

Is that so? Masahiko nodded. Konoha is almost half empty, and they cant work as usual.

Dont forget to practice Ninjutsu whenever you have a break. You cant lose progress.

Sara smiled, hesitated, then ran behind Masahiko, Father, youre working so hard, let me massage your shoulders.

Masahikos whole body was stiff and tight. He never enjoyed such a relief.

Oh, it would have been nice to have a daughter thats willing to rub my shoulders without having to ask anything from me afterward.

Sara paused then ran to Masahiko again, Father, let me rub your legs too.

Masahiko sighed sorrowfully, I knew this day will come. Okay, lets talk about that Listen, your father has such a good eye, I will definitely match you up with a good husband, dont you worry, just say the word.

Sara blushed, Father, what are you talking about. Its Master

What?! Masahiko jumped all over, Damn you, Teuchi. I knew it, youre a dark-hearted motherless I will kill you!

Sara quickly stopped Masahiko, No. Master wants to open a branch in the Land of Whirlpools and want me to be the boss of the new shop.

Masahiko was startled; he didnt expect this.

He already knew that Teuchi would open a branch in the Land of Whirlpools, but Masahiko didnt expect that he would let Sara be the boss.

Do you want to go? Masahiko sighed. He didnt want Sara to go to the Land of Whirlpools. He always thought that she would stay with him.

Sara shook her head, I dont want to go. Although its our homeland, I came to love Konoha more

Masahiko smiled, Thats better, just refuse his proposal and let Teuchi go instead.

Sara laughed, Father, I cant take in charge of Konohas Ichiraku Ramen.

Then let him figure it out.

Sara was helpless, she wanted Masahiko to give her an idea of how she can reasonably reject Teuchis proposal, but hes really unrealistic.

That fat cat finally came back to its senses and started biting Masahikos hand as revenge.

Masahiko sighed, put the fat cat down, took out the dried fish, and started feeding it.

Sara, I dont think I will let this little demon stay in my dimension anymore. Just raise it at home. Masahiko was a little afraid that the previous incident will happen again.

Looking at the fat cats uneven hair, Masahiko took out the carving knife and gave her a proper shaving instantly.

If I had such a hand in my previous life, I would have become a wealthy man. Masahiko was so bored.

Father, Obito seems to have come here.

I know that little guy seemed to have been practicing this entire time. It has been half a month since I returned, and he only came now.

Sure enough, as soon as Obito came in, he shouted, Master, when did you come back from the battlefield?

Ah, Sister Sara is here too?

In a second, he turned on his shy boy mode, and his tone changed.

Masahiko was irritated, thinking that he should scold him for talking that way to his master.

Its been more than a half month since I came back. Where did you go to practice?

With a longing expression, Obito said, Master, did you really go to the battlefield?

Masahiko was startled; why is he talking about the battlefield as if it was a good place? Nawaki was like this back then, and now its happening to Obito. They really think that if they were on the battlefield, they would become powerful and take the Hokage Throne.

And what if I was there? Masahiko looked at Obito.

So which one was it?

Yes, and I will be back.

Looking at Obitos curious expression, Masahiko continued, The kids nowadays are too powerful, especially Hatake Kakashi. Hes the youngest Shinobi in Konoahs army, but much stronger than many of the adults

As Masahiko talked about Kakashis brilliant performance on the battlefield, Obitos face on the opposite side became redder and redder.

Father, stop it. Youre bullying Obito again. Sara, next to him, smiled.

The moment he heard that, Obito realized that his master was teasing him again and got really irritated.

Father, I need to go to the shop. I will make sure to make you two some Ramen and bring it with me when I go back later. Sara said.

Masahiko looked at the time, and it was noon already, Okay, go.

When Sara left, Obito asked again, Master, what does the battlefield looks like?

Masahiko didnt tease him this time and sighed, The battlefield isnt a good place. The danger is everywhere. If you dont pay attention, you may die there. You think Kakashi can do something on the battlefield? He wont do anything but following experienced Shinobi like Sakumo or Minato. Hes still far away.

That guy Kakashi He whispered with a face full of envy.

Masahiko smiled helplessly, If you want to catch up to him, you will have to practice hard first. If the war lasts for a long time, I will take you with me in half a year.

Obito rejoiced, Its a promise, Master!

Masahiko nodded, Now be a good boy, and go help your Sister Sara serve ramen.

Oh!
