Uzumaki station.
Masahiko was learning Shogi with his nephew.
"So, shortly after I left, you resigned from the position of Konoha's elder, and no one from the family came to take over?"
Nephew Gu took a step forward and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, you lost again."
Masahiko's face darkened, he lost ten times in a row. Looking at the property bar, Masahiko's chess skill has appeared, but he hesitated and didn't add any points. It's too wasteful to use witness points on this.
However, looking at his nephew's triumphant look, Masahiko still felt wronged.
"So, when we went to resist the Cloud Village, Gensuke didn't agree with the Uzumaki?"
His nephew's smile stiffened and he sighed.
"Uncle, do you think the Uzumaki should send people?"
Masahiko was stunned. "Of course …"
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he suddenly couldn't say it.
In his heart, he always thought that the Uzumaki should firmly stand in the camp of Konoha to avoid the disaster of extinction in the future. But now thinking about it, with him, Iko and Hitomi Arai there, if the Uzumaki will be destroyed, then it's useless to join Konoha …
His nephew smiled bitterly. "In fact, now it's not only Gensuke, but the people are also a little dissatisfied with Konoha. When Konoha was established, in addition to Zhujian and Uchiha Madara, you also did a lot of things behind the scenes. Senshoku was re-elected twice, and Uchiha was temporarily not considered because of Madara's betrayal. The position of Sandaime Hokage should belong to our Maelstrom, right? But Tokuma said that the next one should be his two disciples, Yuan Fei Hizen and Shimura Danzo … "
Masahiko heaved a sigh of relief, "I got it …"
"In the future war, the Uzumaki doesn't need to send too many people, just send about ten people, it's our obligation as an ally …" Masahiko was also helpless, he didn't expect the Uzumaki to have conflicts with Konoha.
Nephew Gu heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this unreliable Second Uncle would force the clansmen to participate in the battle. "Yes, Second Uncle."
He looked at Masahiko's expression. "Second Uncle, let's talk about something happy. After a while, it will be my sixty-sixth birthday, and I want to make a big celebration. I don't think I'll be able to live until I'm seventy … "
Masahiko was silent for a moment and looked at his eldest nephew's aged face. "What's there to be happy about …"
"Do it … When the time comes, don't invite me. What's the point of me attending your birthday?"
"Alright, alright, alright. Come, Second Uncle, let's play another round of chess …"
"Does winning against me make you so happy?" Masahiko muttered. He added a point to his chess skills. Sure enough, he couldn't take it anymore.
…
Four hours later, Nephew Gu's face darkened. "Second Uncle, you weren't pretending before, were you?"
Masahiko smiled. "Come on, the last game, the deciding game!" Masahiko has won ten games in a row during this time.
"I don't want to play anymore, it's already late."
"Don't go …"
Masahiko was about to stop him, but someone knocked on the door. It was Tokuma who had just finished his work.
Masahiko looked happy and no longer pestered his eldest nephew. "Tokuma, is there any news?"
Tokuma shook his head. "Second Grandpa, let's wait for a while. I have already sent someone to inquire about it. Now we are going to the Hidden Cloud Village. If they are really fighting with the Rock Ninja Village, the two brothers are probably not there. "
Masahiko frowned. "Okay, let's wait."
This wait lasted for half a month. The messenger of the Land of Wind left in anger two days ago. He finally got the news that Tokuma was playing with him. It is estimated that the war with the Sand Village is about to start.
The situation of the war in the Land of Rain was also reported back. The Rock Ninja Village was attacked by the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning, and the situation was precarious.
"The Rock Ninja Village really took the blame?" Masahiko was at a loss. He always felt that something was wrong.
Masahiko was struggling with what to do. Two days later, the messenger of the Land of Lightning arrived and invited Tokuma Senshoku to go to the Hidden Cloud Village to sign an alliance agreement.
"Sign an alliance agreement?" Masahiko muttered and was overjoyed. "The plot is finally back on track, and it's a lot ahead of schedule. Golden Horn and Silver Horn, your birthday is coming!"
Tokuma hesitated. "Second Grandpa, if we go to the Hidden Cloud Village at this time, what about the Land of Wind? And are they really sincere in signing an alliance agreement? "
"Are the Konoha Clans still not willing to send anyone?" Masahiko frowned.
"No, after my persuasion, the Clans agreed to send some of their elites …"
"Persuasion?" Masahiko smirked. It should be a threat …
"Isn't that fine? As for the leader of the team, let Chief Nara go. "
Tokuma sighed. "With Chief Nara leading the team, Uchiha Izumi will not participate in the battle, and the three of us won't go either. In terms of S-class ninja combat power, we will be at a disadvantage. But let Uchiha lead the team, I really don't feel at ease. "
"The three of us? Oh, Hitomi Arai, he doesn't need to go with us, the two of us are enough. This time, if everything goes well, we only need to face Golden Horn and Silver Horn. " Masahiko knew that at the alliance ceremony, Golden Horn and Silver Horn will launch a sneak attack on the Second Raikage.
Tokuma looked at Masahiko's confident look and hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He also wanted to bring his six disciples, but Masahiko refused. This alliance was formed three or four years earlier than in the original story, so it would be even more useless for them to go together.
After a little preparation and simple arrangements, Masahiko and Tokuma sent away the Konoha Troops to the Western Territory.
Masahiko looked at Tokuma with a smile. "You can rest assured this time, Iko is also here, she basically learned all my ninjutsu except for Dust Release. Even you can't beat her in a short time, plus Hitomi Arai …" With such two disciples, Masahiko felt very proud.
Tokuma nodded. "Second Grandpa, there is indeed no need to worry too much about the Sand Shinobi Village, but I am worried about the Cloud Village, their recent movements are a bit strange."
Masahiko shook his head. "There is nothing to worry about, we are together, nothing will go wrong."
Tokuma sighed. "Okay, let's go back and pack our luggage, we will go early and come back early."
After briefly explaining the affairs of Konoha, Tokuma asked Masahiko to tell his nephew to be the elder of Konoha for a while. Otherwise, with only Uchiha Izuya and the Hyūga patriarch, it is estimated that nothing can be done, and Konoha will be in a mess.
Masahiko once again embarked on the journey to the Cloud Village, but this time he went with his real identity, not alone, Tokuma also went with him.
Both of them were very fast, and in less than two days, they arrived at the Cloud Village.
Second Raikage greeted them at the entrance of the village, Hibi looked fine, if it wasn't for the faint palm print on his chest, it wouldn't have been seen that he was injured.
Masahiko sighed inwardly, "How sturdy …"
"Welcome, Hokage and Elder Masahiko Fujita!" Second Raikage said with a smile.
Masahiko also smiled, thinking in his heart. "Sorry, I came to witness your death this time …"
