Long Live The Hokage

Chapter 71: Madara and Black Zetsu

Two hours later, the wedding ceremony for Kenji and the Daimyos daughter finally come to an end, with the whole Village filled with joy and happiness.

Tobirama, youre a very good host. Masahiko looked at him, Im (gonna) very (catch) proud (you) of (later) you (bastard) Masahiko said, but his expression was telling another story.

Tobirama smiled stressfully; he really managed to make Masahiko hate him this time.

Second Grandpa This Thank you for your compliment. Tobirama hesitated for a long time, then he could only answer with this.

Masahiko kept staring at Tobirama for a while. Hashirama was still talking with the Daimyo. Masahiko tried to ease things with the Daimyo, but the letter wouldnt let go.

The newly-wed still didnt get used to each other. Masahiko could only shake his head, smiling. The marriage in Naruto world is strange indeed

He really wanted to go to them and tell them to hurry up and give birth to Tsunade But he felt that it would be a little bit strange, even he couldnt say something like that

Everyone was talking about this marriage, villagers, and ninjas alike.

Konoha will prosper more after this marriage An old man said this.

We have Hashirama-Sama as the Hokage, who would dare to mess with us A girl said.

We cant rely on Hashirama-Sama forever And this is the logical response of some rational thinkers.

Hashirama has become really popular Masahiko thought while listening to other discussions. Two girls were talking about how many years the Hokage can protect the Village. One said 30 years, the other said 50, and later they agreed on 100 years

After a long and heated discussion, they said, Hashirama will definitely live longer than elder Masahiko!

As soon as he heard that, Masahikos face turned darker, then another girl whispered, Do you know how old elder Masahiko is? My grandfather said that he didnt change since he was a child.

It doesnt matter! Hokage-Sama will definitely live longer than him! The other girl replied.

Masahiko shook his head and smiled bitterly, Oh girl, you will be disappointed later Even if Hashirama survives the Valley of the End battle, he wont live up long later.

So, Im an immortal in the other young peoples view?

Well, for an immortal being like me who seems no longer able to hang out with people, I should go back to practice. The battle is near

This peaceful and cheering scene inside the village walls didnt spread to the outside. Outside of the Village, there was a storm brewing.

The Wind Valley Deep below the surface, in an underground cavern that got transformed into a huge underground residence, it consists of many rooms.

Inside one of the rooms, a candle burning was on top of counter lighting the room, dim as it seems, the feeling inside of the chamber was indeed grim. Two people, or one person and a thing, were looking at each other.

One of them was Uchiha Madara, who has left Konoha recently.

After a long silence, Madara said slowly, So youre saying, that youre a physical manifestation of my will?

The moment Madara woke up, he found a black phantom on the opposite side, something that didnt look like a human, but spoke the words of humans, and said that it was a physical manifestation of his will.

Yes Black Zetsu answered slowly, but in fact, it was nothing but lies.

According to the original plan, Black Zetsu, wanted to get Hashiramas cells, when the two fought before, to help Madara awaken the Rinnegan, master the Yin-Yang Releases, then when Madara dies, by then he will gain his trust, and he will give them to him so he could resurrect him

But His plan changed quickly, with Uzumaki Masahikos sudden appearance.

Black Zetsu originally thought that when Masahiko fought against Madara, even though he didnt die at the time, he would lose most of his life energy and would die eventually. Unexpectedly, when Black Zetsu as watching Konoha in the past two years, he found that Masahiko was still alive, mastered the Yin and Yang Releases, and ready for the decisive battle between the Madara and Hashirama, without even showing any signs of again, which made him feel that something is wrong.

Thus, he needed to come out, if he doesnt help Madara, the latter may die in this battle Then it will take him hundreds of years to resurrect Kaguya.

Youre a fool if you think that Im stupid. After a brief silence, Madara said this sentence, but somehow Masahikos old face appeared in front of him, he smiled then said to him, But youre a stupid, Madara-boy After being pranked by Masahiko for all of these times, Madara began to be quicker witted against tricks

As a result, Madara began to doubt Black Zetsu and opened his Sharingan

Master, wait Zetsu hurriedly interrupted. Although he can manipulate everything in this world, dealing with a person like Madara, will always be dangerous.

After that, Black Zetsu described in detail several major events that Madara has experienced throughout his life as if hes the one who lived it.

Madara raised his brows, and then thought to himself, Did he watch me all this time?

However, Madara became more confused when Zetsu began to describe in detail his battle with Masahiko.

Theres no way that he was spying on us Besides Hashirama no one else was present there. An existence which three of us couldnt sense doesnt exist! I hate to admit it, but the old mans perception ability is very strong And this guy? This shady guy, I didnt notice him when he sneaked into my house. Is he really an incarnation?

Now Madara is getting more confused, he got trapped in a dilemma. The black thing in front of him was inside of his body for a long time

After a long period of thinking and consideration, Madara finally raised his head, then he looked at Black Zetsus eyes directly and said, I believe you

Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, At last now you are in my grasp! Fortunately, he didnt notice that Im the one who has written the Uchiha Tablet

Zetsu then asked Madara, According to your thoughts, youre planning on fighting against Hashirama next year, right?

How do you know about this? Madara frowned slightly, then he nodded, Yes

Dont you worry about that old man, Uzumaki Masahiko? Zetsu asked again.

Madara smile and shook his head, Jiji? That 80 years old man? The guys fighting against his own time. He wont be a problem! (T/N: Jiji: Japanese: Old Man)

Zetsu felt speechless

Forget it! He wanted to tell Madara, what Masahiko was doing all of this time, but he feared that he would doubt him. At that moment Black Zetsu couldnt help but sigh secretly in his heart, I need to think of a way to deal with that old man. Kill him? No, Im afraid it will cause suspicion, I need to think of another way.

And Uzumaki Masahiko may have some secrets

Master, I wish you success.

Said Zetsu, then sank deep in the ground, and once again fell into peace.

At that time, Masahiko, who has just arrived at Konohas Ninjutsu practice ground, felt a cold chill on his back.

Whos talking bad things about me? Ooh, of course, that damned Daimyo

Forget about it, I need to start my training, the battle is approaching, even a man in his 70s will be nervous, I shouldnt leave anything for luck

Masahiko thought for a while, frowning, Well, there are things that I cant do anything about Black Zetsu.

Well, come to me! Lets see whos the real trickster!
