Long Live The Hokage

Eddy Country Cemetery.

Masahiko presided over Gensuke's funeral in person.

The "national system" of the country of Vortex is different from that of the five major countries. Although there are big names in the country, there are really no ministers or the like, and there are not many people who can preside over funerals. Gensuke is not so much a daimyo, but more like the "patriarch" of the Uzumaki country. He manages the affairs of the common people, relocation, planting, and the economy are basically all done by him, and only the patrol team can assist him. Elite or Yiko, and Kushina's father.

The original funeral was scheduled to be presided over by Yiko, but later Masahiko found out that when the news of Gensuke's death spread, he saw many civilians crying in sorrow, and then suddenly realized that Gensuke had indeed made a good name and reputation over the years. very high.

"After all, he is the first daimyo of Uzumaki, so it is better for me to preside over the funeral myself." Masahiko sighed inwardly, took the lead to put a bouquet of flowers on Gensuke, and then stood aside, watching the ninja civilians of Uzumaki in an orderly manner. Present flowers one by one.

Although he presided over the whole funeral, he did not say a word, and the flower-laying part went on for a whole day until the sky dimmed.

"Most of the people in Uzumaki have come, and I recognize you, Gensuke." Although it was late, Masahiko still cheekily hoped that Gensuke could rest in peace...

Masahiko murmured softly, directly announcing the end of the funeral, and asked the members of the patrol team to guide them out.

Although the funeral was over, Masahiko still had more important things to do.

Originally, in his heart, Gensuke could still be a daimyo for at least five years, or even ten years, after which Nagato would be able to grow up and take over the daimyo's position.

But now that Gensuke passed away suddenly, and Nagato was less than 11 years old, it would be too outrageous for him to take over as the daimyo.

"So, let Kushina's father come?" Masahiko hesitated.

It's ridiculous to say that he doesn't even know the name of Jiu Xinnai's father now, and he rarely cares about things outside his small circle. Because Nanako is his disciple, he is very concerned about it; because Kushina is Naruto's mother and the feelings he cultivated since childhood, he also cares about it. As for Kushina's father, Nanako's son, he just knew that there was such a person... Masahiko would really be worried if he suddenly became a famous name.

"Ask the opinions of the other disciples."

Jing Tong was directly ignored by him, and Masahiko went directly to the two female disciples to ask their opinions.

"Teacher, Incheon should be able to be a good daimyo. Gensuke has been training him for the past two years." Nanako didn't shy away from it, and directly recommended her son, and Yoshiko didn't show any objection.

Masahiko nodded, "It seems that Yuansuke has already prepared... Then let him prepare, and the daimyo's position cannot be delayed."

Nanako responded, then hesitated, and said, "After Kushina attended the funeral, she locked herself in the room. Would you like to comfort her?"

"Is the relationship between her and Gensuke so deep?" Masahiko was slightly puzzled. As a daimyo, Gensuke is usually very busy, and he should not have spent long time with Kushina.

When he came to Kushina's door, Masahiko first shouted, "Kushina, I opened the door."

After waiting for a few seconds, Masahiko used gravity to unlock the door and walked in. After all, it is a girl's boudoir, so Masahiko, as a grandfather, has to avoid it.

Kushina sat on the bed with her arms around her knees,

The eye sockets are reddish, and it doesn't look like she's heartbroken, but rather like she's thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?" Masahiko was stunned and asked.

"Grandpa, am I being selfish in wanting to stay in Konoha for the sake of Minato?"

Masahiko was startled, he didn't expect Kushina to ask this question.

"Where is the selfishness in pursuing the person you like?"

"But as the princess of the country of vortex, I should have my own responsibilities. My grandfather dedicated his whole life to the country of vortex, but I..."

"As the princess of the Vortex Kingdom, you do have your own responsibilities, but you cannot sacrifice your own happiness."

Masahiko shook his head, "Gensuke is very hard as a daimyo, but this is the life he always wanted, he chose it himself, and he didn't regret it in the end."

"If you

Married to Konoha, she can gain happiness, and also make the relationship between Konoha and the country of Uzumaki closer. "

"If this is all considered selfish, then my great-grandfather is the most selfish person. As the great elder of the Uzumaki clan, he only brought some help to the development of the clan when he was nearly a hundred years old. But before? Without me If so, the relationship between Uzumaki Country and Konoha Ninja Village could not be so good, and they might have disappeared in a certain sudden war long ago."

Kushina suddenly raised her head, her eyes were bright and scary, "Isn't it the same for Minato to marry?"

"What?" Masahiko was taken aback, a little dumbfounded, but Kushina really dared to think about it.

"Then work hard, come on!" After being quiet for a while, Masahiko still encouraged him.

After a slight silence, Kushina said again in doubt, "Grandpa, I want to know what happened when Minato saved me a few years ago."

"Did you find something wrong?"

Masahiko asked with a smile, there are many loopholes in this matter, the biggest flaw is that after the ninja from Hidden Cloud Village kidnapped Kushina, Masahiko did not retaliate against Hidden Cloud Village.

Kushina nodded, and Masahiko continued to speak.

"This matter has to start with the story I told you when you were a child."

"Nine Tails?" Kushina knew about Nine Tails for so many years.

Masahiko nodded, "Mito is old after all, and Konoha needs the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and your physique is just right, so I arranged this."

"Is that so?" Jiu Xinnai sighed, "The one who kidnapped me..."

"A member of the Anbu."

Kushina's complexion changed, and Masahiko smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, Minato didn't know in advance, it was completely arranged by Hirizan and Danzo."

Kushina breathed a sigh of relief, and Masahiko continued, "Because the ultimate goal of this matter is not bad, you and Minato were matched, so I haven't pursued it much, but I warned Kohizhan."

Kushina fell into silence, and clenched his fist after a long time, as if he had made up his mind.

Masahiko was startled, and said, "Why, are you still thinking of turning Minato back?"

Kushina shook her head, then nodded again, "I want to abduct both Kyuubi and Minato!"

Masahiko smiled and nodded, "Then you work hard, I hope to see that day."

He really wanted to see, if that was the case, how exciting Hizan's expression would be. As for the plot, anyway, Naruto can be born smoothly, so let's take it one step at a time.
