Long Live The Hokage

Chapter 94: Alliance

Chapter 94: Alliance

The Uzumaki Station.

Masahiko is learning to play Shogi with his nephew.

So Masaki, shortly after I left, you resigned from the elder position of Konoha, and the family didnt send any replacement?

Masaki put his pawn on the board and smiles, Second Uncle, you lost again.

Masahiko frowned; he has lost for ten consecutive times, which made open at his status bar. The Shogi Skill has appeared. But how matter he wanted to win at least once, but he didnt add points in it. Its too wasteful to spend witness points for something as trivial as this.

Looking at the grin smug on Masakis face, Masahiko couldnt help but sigh.

So, before joining the Tobiramas army, Kenchiro didnt ask for permission from the clan?

Masaki smiled a little, then sighed.

Uncle, do you think our clan should send people too?

Of course Masahikos words got cut short before finishing his sentence.

In his mind, Masahiko wants the Uzumaki clan to always keep in contact with Konoha and, if possible, have several clan members to live there, in order to avoid the disastrous fate that Uzumaki clan will face in the future. But thinking about it, maybe the crisis can be averted now, the clans ha Masahiko, Nanako, Yuriko, and Kenichiro. But if something happened to them, the clan will be destroyed anyway

While smiling bitterly, Masaki said, In fact its not only the patriarch and the elders opinion, even the villagers and the other tribes are somewhat dissatisfied with Konoha. At the beginning of Konohas establishment, beside Hashirama and Madara, there was also you, who have helped a lot behind the scene. After the Senju is re-elected as Hokage, they drove the Uchiha out of the picture. But doesnt that mean that its our time to be in charge of the Hokage position? But no the most possible candidates for the third generation now are the Tobiramas disciples, Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi

Masahiko sighed with relief, I know

For this war, The Uzumaki clan doesnt have to send many people; just ten is enough. Its just to fulfill our obligation in this alliance. Masahiko was also feeling helpless; he didnt expect that there will some conflicts between the Uzumaki and Konoha.

Masaki was relieved. He thought that Masahiko will force the village to send as many shinobi as possible for this war. Okay, uncle, Ill tell them.

Masaki looked at Masahikos face, Come on, uncle, cheer up. After a few days, I will turn 66 years old, I want to do something big, Im not really sure that I will reach 70

Masahiko was quiet for a while, looking at Masakis old face, Nothing makes me happy about this

Well, if thats your wish, then do it do you have any ideas?

I dont know, but Im sure that I want to play another round now

You are picking on me on this game, arent you? Masahiko tries to melt the gloomy situation, then he added a few points to the Shogi Skill, it was really unbearable for him.

After two hours of playing, Masakis face turned black, Uncle, youve lied, dont you? Youve played this game before, right?

Masahiko smiled, Come on, last match, the deciding game! Masahiko won ten consecutive games during these two hours.

No more playing, no more, its getting late.

Dont you dare

Masahiko is about to block Masaki way out when suddenly someone knocked on the door, then walked in; it was Tobirama that has been busy all day.

Masahiko rejoiced, and forgot about his nephew, Is there any news?

Shaking his head, Second Grandpa, we need to wait for a while, Ive sent a scout there to investigate. Lets deal with Sunagakure first, if theyre actually fighting with Iwagakure, the two brothers probably might be there too.

Masahiko then says, Wait again, huh?!

This was half a month later. The Sunagakure messenger returned back angrily two days ago, they have finally realized that they have been played. It seems that the war against Sunagakure is about to start.

The war situation in Amegakure got also reported. Iwagakures troops are fighting on two fronts against Kumogakure and Kirigakures Shinobis, the situation is chaotic and bloody there.

Are they really ganging up on Iwagakure? Masahiko felt puzzled, always feeling that something was wrong.

Masahiko is confused about what he should do now.

A couple of days later, a messenger from Kumogakure arrived at Konoha to invite Tobirama to come to Kumogakure and signed an alliance agreement. Signing alliance treaty? Masahiko whispered deep inside, he was actually thrilled, At last, the story has finally returned to the right track! And it has been advanced a lot. Gold and Silver Brothers, here I come!

In the meantime, Tobirama was hesitating, Second Grandpa, how about the situation with Sunagakure? And should we go to Kumogakure to sign the agreement? Are they planning something behind our backs?

Are the clans of Konoha still refusing to send their shinobi to participate in this war? Masahiko frowned.

No, I already convinced them, they promise to send some elites to join our ranks

Convinced? Masahiko smirked; it should be a threat

Isnt that what we want? And as for the leading shinobi, I think Nara Shikaryu is a great candidate.

Tobirama sighed, Nara Shikaryu will lead the army, and the Uchiha will not join the battle. The three of us will not go. In terms of S-Class shinobi, we are clearly at a disadvantage. Im not really relieved

The three of us? Of, Kenichiro, he doesnt have to go with us Only two of us will be enough. This time if it goes well, we will only have to fight the Gold and Silver Brothers. Masahiko knows that at the alliance treaty signing the Gold and Silver Brothers will ambush Tobirama.

Looking at Masahiko, Tobirama hesitated first, then ended up agreeing. Tobirama also wanted to bring his six disciples, but Masahiko refused. Its because the time of the treaty is 4 years earlier than the original story. They will be less useful than the original.

After a little preparation and simple arrangement, Masahiko and Tobirama send the shinobi troop to the west.

Masahiko smiled at Tobirama, This time you can rest assured, Yuriko is here, she has basically learned all of my techniques except for the dust release. Even Kenichiro couldnt win against her Masahiko felt very proud of his disciples.

Tobirama nodded, Second Grandpa, Im not really worried about Sunagakure. But Kumogakures condition still weights my mind. Their recent movements are unusual.

Masahiko shook his head, Theres nothing to worry about, the two of us will handle any problem together.

Okay, lets pack up. We should depart early.

Before going, Masahiko explained the situation to his nephew and asked him to take the elder position for a while, only to keep an eye on Izumi and the Hyuga Patriarch. He estimated that nothing will happen, but if hes wrong, Konoha will be in a huge mess.

Masahiko then embarked on a journey to Kumogakure again, but this time he crossed the borders showing his true identity and not alone.

Both of them moved very fast and arrived at Kumogakure in two days.

The second Raikage and B greeted them at the entrance of the village. The guy looked fine, if it wasnt for the punch print on his chest, you wouldnt tell he was recently injured.

Masahiko sighed, What a tough bastard

Welcome to our village Second Hokage and Uzumaki Masahiko! The Second Raikage greeted them warmly.

Masahiko also smiled, thinking, You wouldnt be this happy to see me if you know that Im here to witness your death
