Long Live The Hokage Chapter 162

“This trip really didn't go so smoothly.”

Masahiko sighed and shook his head.

He learned later from little Konan that she started wandering in Amegakure about a year ago and has been alone since then.

“Isn't it about time for the two to meet?” Masahiko murmured.

In fact, Masahiko didn't particularly care about Yahiko. After all, he didn't matter in the original story. He just appeared in Nagato's memories as a deceased character. Also, he wasn't a beauty like Konan…

Although sometimes people aren't important, the Witness Points that Masahiko might get from them were critical. The beginning of the original story was getting closer and closer. Although Masahiko is already the stronger Shinobi alive, the Great Sage Toad's prophecy made him a little concerned. He wants to level up all of his seven attributes to LV9 as soon as possible. Moreover, he had been looking forward to doing it for a long time.

“Sensei, can we bring her?” Nagato didn't know that the purpose of this trip is to find Konan and Yahiko.

Masahiko smiled at Konan warily and nodded. But soft little girls aren't what he is good at. This can be clarified from the fact that he made Yuriko cry a lot of times when she was a little girl. He could only rely on Nagato to appease Konan.

It may be because the two were at the same age, or because Nagato saved her, but Konan quickly settled and let loose of her vigilance.

“Thank you, uncle.”

Masahiko was stunned by the way Konan addressed him. Then he remembered that 23 years have passed since he rescued Tobirama, and since then, he has been losing one year every year. Now he looks only as an uncle, and no one who didn't know him would call him a Grandpa.

“I haven't used the transformation technique to cover up my appearance. I guess many people started asking questions again…” Masahiko murmured, then shook his head, “Well, I don't care anymore.”

Masahiko didn't care too much. At first, he concealed it because it was difficult to explain to his clansmen and acquaintances, and he feared that other people will seek the answers for his immortality. Now he's not afraid of anyone…. Also, it's gonna be fun.

Looking at Konan in front of him, Masahiko shook his head, “You call me Sensei, like Nagato here. And I will teach you Ninjutsu.”

Konan was surprised, “Can I also be a ninja?”

She froze for a moment, then quickly replied, “Thank You, Sensei!”

At the same time, a message from the system appeared in front of him, and he gained 50 witness points.

“Sure enough, accepting Konan as a disciple has also yielded me witness points, but it's a bit less than Nagato. It seems that I will still have to find Yahiko, even if it's only 20 or 30, it's not a complete loss.”

Masahiko sighed, poverty made him lose his principles…

“Nagato, Konan, let's go to Amegakure again!”

The two of them became three… the newcomer was a girl who never practiced Ninjutsu yet, and the movement was much slower.

However, the Land of Rain wasn't really big, similar to the Land of Whirlpools in the past.

Going around the country several times, Masahiko covered all the streets and alleys. Still, there was no trace for Yahiko.

“Maybe he didn't become an orphan yet? No, he should be at this age.” Masahiko muttered, leading the two of them to a place he never looked into, the center of the Land of Rain!”

Sensei, that place is the residence of Hanzo…” Konan hesitated to speak. When Nagato left this country, he was still young and didn't know much about these things. Konan, on the other hand, who has been wandering in the Land of Rain for more than a year, has heard a lot about Hanzo.

Masahiko waved his hand, “It's okay, they won't see us.”

In fact, he knew that Yahiko wouldn't be here, but when he came to the Land of Rain, finding Yahiko and Konan wasn't his ultimate goal.

When he reached the place, he obviously found more guards there.

In order to prevent the rain, the buildings here were thin and pointed, and their roads were even lightened.

“Interesting. I didn't pay attention to this before, but there's such a thing in the Land of Rain, but none in the Land of Thunder.”

The three of them walked all the way, and guards automatically ignored them.

After wandering around in Hanzo's “home,” Masahiko didn't find Yahiko, yet he satisfied his curiosity.
“Hanzo has a collection of a lot of swords. He turned out to be a swords collector.” Masahiko looked left and right, then his face suddenly turned pale.

“Hello there, what a coincidence, Demigod-Sama!”

Masahiko didn't know when Hanzo came so close to them, watching the three of them calmly. Masahiko was watching the swords and didn't pay attention to his surroundings.

“It's a coincidence, Masahiko-Dono, I didn't expect to meet you at my house,” Hanzo said sarcastically.

Masahiko's face turned dark, then patted Konon's shoulder, who looked extremely afraid and shook his head with a smile.

“Don't be afraid, Hanzo is a good person.” He almost laughed, saying this.

Nagato wasn't afraid at all and looked at Hanzo curiously.

“Elder, are you interested in my swords?” Hanzo continued to speak.

Masahiko nodded and said, “I have used a sword before.”

“But this time, I didn't come for one, I wanted to check if you had any accidents.”

This is was the true purpose of coming to Hanzo's residence. Since that weird Akatsuki group is constantly trying to revise the plot, they may also choose its base camp in the Land of Rain. Unfortunately, Masahiko didn't find any traces from them here.

“It's none of you concerns, Elder…” Hanzo spoke slowly, and it seems that he already began to lose his patience.

Masahiko smiled, not caring about that, “It's okay, I'll leave first, you Demigod must be careful not to be killed by any strange enemies.”

Masahiko had some assessment for fake pain's strength. Mito repulsed him, which proves that he was slightly weaker than her, then he should be stronger than Hanzo, but the gap shouldn't be big too. As long as Hanzo is careful, escaping is still possible.

However, Hanzo obviously didn't take Masahiko's words seriously; he just nodded perfunctorily, and then looked like he was seeing guests off.

Masahiko didn't care too, it just happened that he gave him a bit of advice on the way while looking for Yahiko, it doesn't matter whether he listens or not.

Masahiko, who left with the two kids, pondered, “Since they'ree trying to revise the plot, they wouldn't change the location of their base camp. It will still be the Land of Rain. Maybe it wasn't just the right time.”

“Yahiko died when he was 20 years old in the original, and according to Nagato's age now, it will probably happen in Konoha's forty-ninth or Fiftieth. When that time comes, I will visit again!”

Full of thoughts, Masahiko returned to the Land of Whirlpool with the two kids.
