Konoha six years, spring.
The cemetery of the whirlpool family.
Masahiko sighed, patted Jing Hitomi's shoulder who was crying in a low voice, and turned and left.
A few days ago, after receiving news that Masayoshi Uzumaki, the former second elder of the Maelstrom family, was critically ill, Masahiko and Jing Hitomi rushed back to the Maelstrom family, but they were still a step late.
Just after paying homage to Uzumaki Masahiro at the cemetery, Masahiko's mood was inevitably depressed.
Although he had a poor relationship with Masayoshi Masayoshi before the age of 48, and was even somewhat hostile, after the Kaguya War, especially after Hitomi Shuijing became a disciple, he had long regarded Masayoshi Masayoshi as an old friend.
This time, the Hui Maze clan knew that in the past few years in Konoha Village, the former elder and third elder of the Maze clan had passed away in the past few years. The death of Makoto Masahiro means that only him is left in Masahiko’s generation. One.
"A legacy of the era?"
Masahiko murmured to himself, some of the children in the clan can call him grandpa grandfather, this is the difference between the five generations.
Back to the Patriarch’s Hall, which was expanded time and time again, Masahiko looked at his old nephew and smiled helplessly, and said, "My nephew, do you still abdicate? I remember you are 59 years old this year, right? Has been in power for almost 30 years, has the patriarch not done enough?"
The patriarch raised his head and nodded, "Second Uncle, I am going to retire, and I will retire next year."
Masahiko was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that his big nephew really wanted the patriarch to die, but he didn't expect to abdicate.
"Who is the next patriarch?"
Masahiko has been away from the whirlpool family for more than five years, and he really doesn't know much about the current situation of the whirlpool family.
The patriarch's eldest nephew shook his head helplessly, "Originally, I was in favor of Jing Hitomi, but you called him away from the second uncle. Now, Gensuke can only be the patriarch."
Masahiko rolled his eyes. He was really not at ease about the choice of his nephew, but the first choice would be Jing Hitomi...
"Gensuke..." Masahiko was silent for a while before remembering, "Is Nanako's husband?"
The patriarch’s eldest nephew smiled and nodded, “Although Gensuke’s ninja talent is not as good as Ino Hitomi, he does things well, and Nanako is there to assist...”
"Wait, wait..." Masahiko interrupted, "When Gensuke was a child, I met a very ambitious little boy. In the first push-up test, he tried his best to get the first place... and Nanako assisted. she… "
The patriarch smiled and shook his head, "You may not know their current situation, especially Nanako, who is now a complete replica of Mito. Now he is a teacher of the children of the clan and is loved by the children."
Masahiko scratched his head and sighed. In recent years, Masahiko really didn't care much about his two female disciples, "What about Yizi?"
"The same is true for Yizi. She has been a teacher for the children before. She married two years ago and seems to be pregnant and went home to cultivate this year..." the patriarch replied slowly.
Masahiko nodded and murmured in his heart, "I have my own home." In Konoha these years, I really didn't care about these two apprentices.
"Next year you retire and go to Konoha. I will give you the position of elder. Even if you stay in Konoha for the elderly... The Uzumaki clan has been busy for a lifetime, and you should enjoy the blessing."
The patriarch's nephew nodded and agreed.
Saying goodbye to the elder nephew, Masahiko went to see the two disciples.
Nanako is no longer the look of a hot little girl. When Masahiko saw her, he was holding a six or seven-year-old boy with a gentle smile at the corners of his mouth. A familiar and unfamiliar smile made Masahiko feel unreal. The sense of dislocation.
Yizi is not the crying little girl anymore. With her stomach upright, Masahiko is slightly stunned by the surging chakra inside. This is probably half of his chakra amount, plus his proficiency in the three attributes of earth, wind and fire, I’m afraid Konoha was rated as an s-rank ninja... After a young man was busy in front of her, the young man was just an ordinary ninja, but he looked like an honest duty, and Yizi also looked happy and peaceful. Masahiko was not willing to bother.
After leaving the home of the two disciples, Masahiko was in a rare depression until he returned to the cemetery, watching Jing Tong bouncing around there and vowing that he would practice harder in the future and let Zhenghong have light in the spring.
"Sure enough, I'm not the only one who is alone, and Jing Hitomi is probably a single dog in this life..." It was obviously Masahiko who taught him to be like this, but at this time he was still a little gloating and happy.
"Jing Hitomi, let's go back..."
"Oh! Teacher!"
Konoha 6 years is also an important year for Konoha Village.
Most of the families have undergone the transition between the new and the old, such as the Hyuga family, such as the Younyu family, and the Inuzuka family, the pig deer butterfly, and the Hagi family. The group of people that Masahiko was familiar with all went behind the scenes, and some people are also pensioning.
Therefore, in the next few meetings of the elders, Masahiko will face all the younger generations of his grandchildren. Although he doesn’t feel like bullying the younger generation with his face, there will always be someone behind the more often. It was very embarrassing to talk about relying on the old to sell the old.
"The damn right-handed nephew, abdicating was a year late, which embarrassed me..." Masahiko cursed secretly in his heart.
After Konoha's seventh year, when his elder nephew really abdicated and took over Masahiko's position as the elder, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Except for occasional molesting with Zhujian and Shujian or their six disciples, or visiting Mito and Kenji, walking on the streets of Konoha, Masahiko realized that he had no acquaintances.
"I am completely a legacy of an era. Even the ninjas of grandchildren are middle-aged. I am afraid that in a few more years..."
Masahiko was thinking about his thoughts, and the chatter of two villagers on the street awakened him.
"Have you heard, our Lord of the Fire Country Da Ming wants to marry his little daughter to the son of Master Naruto."
"Really?"
"I didn't lie to you, now Konoha has spread all over."
"That's great… "
Masahiko was slightly stunned, and then smiled happily.
"Why so low, a group of acquaintances stepped off the stage of history, and another group of acquaintances are about to be born..."
Masahiko watched his generation of ninjas and even his next generation of ninjas have withdrawn from the stage of history during this period of time. It is inevitable that his mood was a little depressed, and he felt that the entire ninja world seemed to be alone.
But just after the conversation between the two villagers awakened him, he suddenly realized that Konoha has been seven years old, and in two or three years, he had been expecting to see Konoha Sannin to be born one after another. In another ten years, It's time for the fathers of the plot characters to be born...
"There is no need to be depressed, but I am a man determined to live to the end of the play!"
