Chapter 16 Remnants of the Times
Six years of Konoha, spring.
Vortex Clan Cemetery.
Masahiko sighed, patted the shoulder of Jing Tong who was crying in a low voice, and turned around and left.
A few days ago, I received news that Yuzuru Zhenghong, the former second elder of the Uzuru clan, was critically ill. Masahiko and Jing Tong rushed back to the Uzuru clan, but were still one step late.
Just after worshiping Masahiko Uzumaki in the cemetery, Masahiko was inevitably feeling a little depressed.
Although he had always had a bad relationship with Masahiro Uzumaki before the age of 48 and was even a little hostile, after the Kaguya War, especially after Hitomi Sui as a disciple, he had long regarded Masahiro Uzumaki as an old friend.
This time I returned to the Uzumaki clan and found out that in the past few years he was in Konoha Village, the original elder and third elder of the Uzumaki clan had passed away one after another a few years. Uzumaki Masahito's death means that he is the only one left in Masahiko's generation.
"A legacy of the times?"
Masahiko murmured to himself that some of the children in the clan could call him Grandpa Gaozu, which is the gap between the five generations.
Back at the clan leader's hall that had been expanded again and again, Masahiko looked at her old-fashioned eldest nephew and smiled helplessly, "Big nephew, haven't you abdicated yet? I remember you are 59 years old this year. You have been in power for almost 30 years. Haven't the clan leader done enough?"
The patriarch raised his head and nodded, "Second Uncle, I'm going to retreat, I'll leave next year."
Zhengyan was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that his eldest 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 Uzumaki clan for more than five years, but she really doesn't know much about the Uzumaki clan's recent situation.
The clan leader’s nephew shook his head helplessly, “Originally I belonged to Yijing Hitomi, but you called him away, Uncle II. Now, I can only let Gensuke be the clan leader.”
Masahiko rolled her eyes. She was really not at ease with the choice of this eldest nephew. The first choice would be Jing Tong...
"Gensuke..." Masahiko was silent for a while before she remembered, "Is Nanako's husband?"
The clan leader’s nephew nodded with a smile, “Although Gensuke’s ninja talent is not as good as Ichi, he is in a proper way, and Nanako is there to assist…”
"Wait, wait..." Masahiko interrupted, "I met a very ambitious little boy when Gensuke was a child. He tried his best to get the first place in the first test of push-ups... and Nanako assisted, she..."
The patriarch smiled and shook his head, "You may not know much about their current situation, especially Nanako, who is now a completely replica of Mito. Now he is a teacher of the children in the clan and is deeply loved by the children."
Masahiko scratched her head and sighed. Over the years, Masahiko really didn't care much about her 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 this year she seems to be pregnant and going home to recuperate..." The clan leader replied slowly.
Masahiko nodded and murmured in her heart, "We all have our own home." In Konoha over the years, I have never cared about these two apprentices.
"If you retire next year, go to Konoha. I will give you the position of elder. Even if you are in Konoha, you should enjoy it... the Uzumaki clan has been busy all his life, and he should enjoy it."
The clan leader’s nephew nodded and agreed.
Farewell to the clan leader’s nephew, Masahiko went to see the two disciples.
Nanako is no longer the look of a stingy little girl. When Masahiko saw her, she held a boy of six or seven years old forehand, with a gentle smile all over the corners of her mouth, and a familiar and unfamiliar smile, which made Masahiko feel an unreal misalignment.
Yizi is not the crying little girl anymore. She is thrusting her belly and the surging chakra in her body makes Masahiko slightly stunned. This is probably half the amount of chakra. In addition, she is proficient in the three attributes of Earth and Fire. I am afraid that Konoha will be rated as an S-level ninja in Konoha... A young man is busy in front of her, and the young man is just an ordinary ninja, but he looks honest and honest. Yizi also looks happy and peaceful, and Masahiko is not willing to go over and disturb her.
After leaving the two disciples' homes, Zhengyan was in a rare mood until he returned to the cemetery. He watched Jing Tong jump and swore that he would work harder in the future to let Zhenghongquan have a light.
"Sure enough, I am not the only one alone. Jing Tong is probably a single dog in this life..." It was Masahiko who taught him like this, but she was still a little gloating at this time, and she was happy.
"Jing Tong, let's go back..."
"Oh! Teacher!"
The 6 years of Konoha is also an important year for Konoha Village.
Most families have changed in old and new ways, such as the Hinaga family, the Oil Girl family, the Inuzuka family, the Pig Deer Butterfly, and the Hashiki family. All of them have changed in old ways. The younger generation has moved onto the stage of history, and the group of people familiar to Masahiko have all come behind the scenes, and some are also retired.
So, in the next few elder meetings, Masahiko faced all these younger generations of his grandsons. Although he didn't think it was anything to bully his younger generation with his face, but with more times, there were always people talking behind their backs, and it made him very embarrassed.
"Damn it, the damn power controls my eldest nephew, and I'm a year late for abdication, which makes me so embarrassed..." Masahiko cursed in her heart.
When Konoha was seventh year, his eldest nephew really abdicated and came to take over Masahiko's position as elder, he felt even more uncomfortable.
In addition to occasionally teasing Hashimama and Tomoema, or their six disciples, or visiting Mito and Kenji, walking on the streets of Konoha, Masahiko found that he had no acquaintances.
"I am now completely a legacy of an era. Even the ninjas of my grandchildren are already middle-aged. I'm afraid in a few years..."
Masahiko was thinking about his thoughts, and the chatting sounds of two villagers on the street woke him up.
"Have you heard that our Lord Daime of the Kingdom of Fire is going to marry his youngest daughter to Lord Naruto's son."
"Really?"
"I didn't lie to you, now the whole Konoha is spread all over."
"That's great..."
Masahiko was slightly stunned and then showed a happy smile.
"Why do you have to be so low? A group of acquaintances have stepped down from the stage of history, and another group of acquaintances are about to be born..."
During this period, Masahiko was inevitably feeling a little depressed as he watched his generation of ninjas and even his next generation of ninjas withdraw from the historical stage one after another. He felt as if he was the only one left in the entire ninja world.
But just now the conversation between the two villagers woke him up, and he suddenly realized that it had been seven years since Konoha. In another two or three years, the Konoha Sannin he had been hoping to see would be born one after another. In another ten years, the fathers of the plot characters should be born...
