Uzumaki country cemetery.
Masahiko personally presided over Gensuke's funeral.
The "national system" of Uzumaki Kingdom is different from that of the five major countries. Although there are big names in the country, there are really no ministers or people who can preside over the funeral. Gensuke is not so much a daimyo, but more like the "patriarch" of a Uzumaki country. He manages the common people's affairs, relocation, planting, and the economy are basically all his efforts. Only the patrol team can assist him. Jing Rui or Yizi, and Jiu Xin Na's father.
Originally, the funeral was set to be hosted by Yizi, but later Masahiko discovered that when the news of Gensuke's death came out, he actually saw many civilians crying in grief, and then suddenly realized that Gensuke had indeed made a good name and reputation over the years. Very high.
"After all, it is the first daimyo of Uzumaki country. It is better for me to host the funeral." Masahiko sighed in his heart, took the lead in putting a bunch of flowers on Gensuke, and then stood aside, watching Uzumaki Ninja civilians orderly Present flowers one by one.
Although he presided over the whole funeral, he didn't say a word. The flower offering took place for a whole day until the sky dimmed.
"Most of the people in Uzumaki Kingdom are here, and I recognize you too, Gensuke." Although it was late, Masahiko still cheeky hope that Gensuke can rest in peace...
Masahiko murmured softly and directly declared the funeral to be over, and asked the members of the patrol team to guide them out.
Although the funeral is over, Masahiko has more important things to do.
Originally in his mind, Gensuke could still be a daimyo for at least five years, or even ten years, after which Nagato could grow up and take over the position of daimyo.
But now that Gensuke suddenly passed away and Nagato was less than 11 years old, it would be too ridiculous to let him take over as the daimyo.
"So, let Kushina's father come?" Masahiko hesitated.
It's ridiculous, he doesn't even know what Jiu Xinnai's father's name is now, and he doesn't care much about things outside of his small circle. Because Nanako is his disciple, he cares a lot; because Kushina is Naruto's mother, and the feelings he has cultivated since childhood, he also cares. As for Kushina's father and Nanako's son, he just knew that there was such a person... If this suddenly made him a big name, Masahiko would not be so relieved.
"Ask the opinions of the other disciples."
Jing Hitomi was directly ignored by him, and Masahiko directly went to the two female disciples to ask their opinions.
"Teacher, Incheon should be able to be a great name. Gensuke has been cultivating him for the past two years." Nanako did not shy away and directly recommended his son, but Yoshiko did not show any objection.
Masahiko nodded, "Look at the source of the preparations... That's it, let him prepare, and the position of the daimyo can't be delayed."
Nanako responded, then hesitated, and said: "After Kushina attended the funeral, he locked herself in the house. Would you like to comfort her?"
"Is her relationship with Gensuke that deep?" Masahiko was slightly puzzled. As a daimyo, Gensuke is usually very busy and should not spend much time with Kushina.
When he came to the door of Kushina, Masahiko first shouted, "Kushina, I opened the door."
After waiting for a few seconds, Masahiko opened the door lock with gravity and walked in. After all, it is a girl's boudoir, and Masahiko, as the grandfather, has to avoid it.
Jiu Xinnai sat on the bed with his hands on his knees, his eyes were reddish, not as if he was distressed, but as if he was thinking about something.
"What do you think?" Masahiko was stunned, and said.
"Grandpa, am I a bit selfish to stay in Konoha for Mizumon?"
Masahiko was startled, but he didn't expect Jiuxina to ask this question.
"Where can I be selfish in pursuing someone I like?"
"But as a princess of the Uzumaki Kingdom, I should have my own responsibility. My grandfather dedicated his entire life to the Uzumaki Kingdom, but I..."
"As a princess of the Uzumaki Kingdom, you do have your own responsibilities, but you can't sacrifice your own happiness."
Masahiko shook his head, "Gensuke is very hard as a daimyo, but this is the life he has always wanted, he chose himself, and he didn't regret it in the end."
"If you marry Konoha, you can gain happiness, and you can make the relationship between Konoha and Uzumaki country closer."
"If this is considered selfish, then Grandpa Tai is the most selfish person. As the great elder of the Maelstrom clan, he brought some help to the development of the clan when he was nearly a hundred years old. But before? Without me. If this is the case, the relationship between Uzumaki Kingdom and Konoha Shinobu cannot be so good, maybe they would have disappeared in a sudden war long ago."
Jiuxinai suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bright and scary, "Why don't it be the same for Watergate to marry?"
"What?" Masahiko was taken aback, a little bit dumbfounded, Kushina really dared to think.
"Then you work hard, come on!" After being quiet for a while, Masahiko still encouraged.
After a slight silence, Jiu Xinnai said again in doubt, "Grandpa, I want to know what happened when Watergate saved me a few years ago."
"I found something wrong?"
Masahiko asked with a smile, there were many flaws in this matter. The biggest flaw was that after the ninja in Yunyin Village kidnapped Kushina, Masahiko did not retaliate against Yunyin Village.
Kushina nodded, Masahiko continued to speak.
"This matter has to start with the story I told you when you were a kid."
"Nine-tailed?" Kushina has known about the nine-tails for so many years.
Masahiko nodded, "After all, Mito is old, Konoha needs the next nine-tailed man's strength, and your physique is just right, so I arranged for this."
"Is that so?" Kushina sighed, "The kid who kidnapped me..."
"I'm a member of Anbe."
Kushina's face changed, Masahiko smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, Mizumon didn't know in advance, it was completely arranged by Rizhan and Danzo."
Kushina breathed a sigh of relief, and Masahiko continued to speak, "Because the ultimate goal of this matter is pretty good, it brought you and Watergate together, so I haven't been pursued much, but I warned that it was too late."
Kushina fell into silence, and shook his fist after a long time, as if he had made up his mind.
Masahiko was startled and said, "Why, still thinking of turning the water gate back?"
Kushina shook his head, then nodded, "I want to turn both Kyuubi and Mizuno back!"
Masahiko smiled and nodded, "Then you work hard, I hope to see that day."
He really wanted to see, if that was the case, what a wonderful expression on Sun Zan's expression would be. As for the plot, anyway, Naruto can be born smoothly, so let's take one step at a time.
