Long Live The Hokage

Konoha six years, spring.

The cemetery of the Uzumaki clan.

Masahiko sighed, patted Jing Tong on the shoulder who was crying softly, and turned to leave.

A few days ago, I received news that Uzumaki Masahiro, the former second elder of the Uzumaki Clan, was critically ill. Masahiko and Jing Tong rushed back to the Uzumaki Clan, but it was still a step too late.

Masahiko Uzumaki had just paid homage to Masahiro Uzumaki at the cemetery, so Masahiko's mood was inevitably a little depressed.

Although before the age of 48, his relationship with Masahiro Uzumaki was not good, even somewhat hostile, but after the Kaguya War, especially after Hitomi Hitomi became his disciple, he has long regarded Masahiro Uzumaki as an old friend.

Only after returning to the Uzumaki Clan this time did they know that during the past few years in Muye Village, the former Great Elder and the Third Elder of the Uzumaki Clan had passed away one after another a few years ago. one already.

"A remnant of the era?"

Masahiko muttered to himself, some of the children in the clan could call him grandpa. This is the gap of five generations.

Returning to the patriarch's hall, which has been expanded again and again, Masahiko smiled helplessly at the old nephew, and said, "Nephew, are you still not abdicating? I remember you are 59 years old this year, right?" Has been in power for almost 30 years, hasn't the patriarch done enough?"

The patriarch raised his head and nodded, "Second Uncle, I'm going to retire, next year."

Masahiko was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that his eldest nephew really wanted the patriarch to die, but he didn't expect that he was going to abdicate.

"Who is the next patriarch?"

Masahiko has been away from the Uzumaki Clan for more than five years, and he really doesn't know much about the current situation of the Uzumaki Clan.

The patriarch's nephew shook his head helplessly, "Originally I was interested in Jing Hitomi, but second uncle, you called him away. Now, we can only let Gensuke be the patriarch."

Masahiko rolled his eyes, he was really not at ease about the selection of this eldest nephew, unexpectedly the first choice would be Jing Tong...

"Gensuke..." Masahiko was silent for a while before he remembered, "Is Nanako's husband?"

The patriarch's nephew nodded with a smile, "Although Gensuke's ninja talent is not as good as Hitomi Jing, he does things well, and Nanako is there to assist..."

"Wait, wait..." Masahiko interrupted, "I met Gensuke when he was a child. He was a very ambitious little boy. In the first push-up test, he tried his best to get the first place... and Nanako Assistant, she..."

The patriarch smiled and shook his head, "You may not know their current situation very well, especially Nanako, who is now a complete copy of Mito, and now she is the teacher of the children in the clan, and is deeply loved by the children."

Masahiko scratched his head and sighed. Masahiko really didn't care much about his two female disciples these years, "What about Yizi?"

"It's the same with Yizi. She used to be the children's teacher. She got married two years ago and seems to be pregnant this year and went home to recuperate..." the patriarch replied slowly.

Masahiko nodded, and murmured in his heart, "They all have their own homes." In Konoha these years, he really didn't care much about these two apprentices.

"Next year, if you retire, go to Konoha. I will hand over the position of elder to you, so you can take care of yourself in Konoha... You have been busy with the affairs of the Uzumaki clan all your life, so you should enjoy the blessings."

The patriarch's nephew nodded and agreed.

Saying goodbye to the eldest nephew of the patriarch, Masahiko went to see the two disciples.

Nanako is no longer that aggressive little girl. When Masahiko saw her, she was holding a six or seven-year-old boy by the hand. The corners of her mouth were full of gentle smiles. The familiar yet unfamiliar smile made Masahiko feel unreal. sense of dislocation.

Yiko is not the little girl who loves to cry anymore. With her belly upright, Masahiko is slightly stunned by the surging Chakra in her body. This is probably half of his Chakra. In addition, she is proficient in the three attributes of earth, wind and fire. After Konoha was rated as an S-rank ninja... a young man was busy in front of her, and the young man was just an ordinary ninja,

However, it seemed that she was honest and responsible, and Yizi also looked happy and peaceful, and Masahiko was not willing to bother her.

After leaving the homes of the two disciples, Masahiko was rarely in a low mood, until he returned to the cemetery, looked at Jing Tong bouncing there and swore that he would work harder in cultivation in the future, so that Zhenghongquan would shine.

"Sure enough, I'm not the only one who is alone, Jing Tong will probably be a single dog in this life..." It was obvious that Masahiko taught him to be like this, but at this time, he was still a little gloating, rather happy.

"Itomi, let's go back..."

"Oh! Teacher!"

The 6th year of Konoha is also an important year for Konoha Village.

Most families have changed from old to new, such as the Hyuga family, the Yume family, the Inuzuka family, the Ikacho, and the Hatake family, all of which have undergone a change from the old to the new. , the group of people that Masahiko is familiar with have all gone behind the scenes, and some people are also retirement.

Therefore, in the next few meetings of the elders, Masahiko faced all the younger generations of his grandchildren. Although with his face, he didn't think it was a big deal to bully the younger generation, but if there were too many times, there would always be someone behind him. Discussion, what relying on the old to sell the old, made him very embarrassed.

"Damn the right to control the eldest nephew, he abdicated a year late, which makes me so embarrassed..." Masahiko cursed inwardly.

When the elder nephew really abdicated in the seventh year of Konoha and took over Masahiko's position as elder, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Except for occasionally flirting with Hashirama and Tobima or their six disciples, or visiting Mito and Kenji, walking on the streets of Konoha, Masahiko found that he had no acquaintances.

"Now, I am completely a remnant of an era. Even the ninjas of my grandchildren are already middle-aged. In a few years, I am afraid..."

Masahiko was thinking about his thoughts, and the chatter of two villagers on the street woke him up.

"Have you heard that our Fire Nation daimyo is going to marry his youngest daughter to Lord Hokage's son?"

"Really?"

"I didn't lie to you, now the entire Konoha has spread."

"That's great……"

Masahiko was slightly stunned, and then showed a happy smile.

"Why be so low, a group of acquaintances have stepped off the stage of history, and another group of acquaintances will be born soon..."

During this period of time, Masahiko watched the ninjas of his generation and even the ninjas of his next generation withdraw from the stage of history one after another. He inevitably felt a little depressed, feeling as if he was the only one left in the entire ninja world.

But the conversation between the two villagers just woke him up, and he suddenly realized that it has been Konoha for seven years, and in two or three years, the Konoha Sannin he had been looking forward to seeing will be born one after another, and in ten years, The parents of the characters in the plot should also be born...

"There's no need to be depressed, I'm a man determined to live until the end of the show!"
