Long Live The Hokage - Chapter 170
Chapter 170: Compromise
“Thank you for your help!”
Masahiko looked at the young man bowing in front of him…
After remembering that the person in front of him was the boss of the famous Ramen Ichiraku from the original, Masahiko was no longer in the mood to watch the final outcome of the “Love Triangle” and chatted with him.
In the end, Masahiko provided him with a part of the “startup funds,” which made young Teuchi bows to him and thank him.
Masahiko frowned as he waved his hand away. Just now facing Teuchi, Masahiko let out of his full power, but the person in front of him didn’t even have a trace of Chakra fluctuation, as if he was really just an ordinary person, or maybe that’s what Teuchi wanted him to think…
“Does Otsutsuki Teuchi really exist?” Masahiko murmured. He was very curious about the intense discussion he read on the internet in his previous life and wanted to clarify himself. In fact, he never believed it, thinking that he was just an ordinary person, but his sudden appearance at this time made him suspicious.
“It’s a coincidence, isn’t it? Ramen Mode: Five Stars Ramenshuriken isn’t a thing, right?”
“This is troubling…”
After a while, Masahiko returned to his senses to find that the crowd in front of him had dispersed. The conflict between the Senju and the Uchiha has also been resolved after they were suppressed by Mito.
The Akatsuki’s attack that Masahiko was so worried about didn’t happen either, perhaps because they knew he was in Konoha, or maybe they have just delayed it.
“I didn’t see what happened in the end.”
Masahiko murmured and returned to the Senju. There is no need to ask, feeling the lively atmosphere inside the clan, he knew that Mikoto chose Nawaki in the end.
“Now, I can only hope the Fugaku will quickly find another woman to give birth to Itachi and Sasuke.”
Although this result may have some impact on his Witness Points, he was still happy for Nawaki.
“Who would have thought that the kid, who died young in the Original, will live to have such a happy life.” Masahiko thought while walking toward Mito’s house, where the Chakra fluctuations of many acquaintances were there.
Nawaki’s father Kenji, sister Tsunade, and a few elders from the Senju Clan, who didn’t show up earlier, were gathered there. Also, Danzo was there.
Masahiko walked into the room, smiled, and said, “Congratulations, Nawaki.”
Nawaki was also full of joy, “Thanks to your teaching!”
Masahiko nodded and looked at the others with a smile. Then he finally focused his attention on Danzo, as he felt that the atmosphere in the room was serious.
“So, Hiruzen is currently with the Uchiha? And he sent you here to hold the Senju and wait for news?”
Danzo smiled bitterly. Although it was true, Masahiko’s words made what was already an embarrassing environment, even tenser.
“Elder Masahiko, don’t worry, this time Uchiha Mikoto made it clear to them. It’s unlikely that they would dare to refuse.”
Masahiko twitched his mouth, “You never learn. You think the Uchiha will just agree?”
As soon as these words were said, Hiruzen’s Chakra quickly approached the place and entered the house.
“The Uchiha agreed!”
Everyone in the room let out a long sigh of relief and then turned their heads at Masahiko with weird eyes.
Masahiko felt embarrassed, and he glared at Hiruzen, feeling like he was deliberately opposing him.
Hiruzen didn’t understand what was happening, and after a moment, he continued.
“But they have some conditions.”
Masahiko let out a sigh of relief, so he was right.
“What are the conditions? Are they gonna ask Nawaki to kill a bear with his bare hands or something? Or maybe they asked for a big dowry?” Masahiko said with a smile, but it was obvious that people in the house didn’t believe the Uchiha would dare to ask for such a thing. It was no different than asking for a war.
Hiruzen smiled and shook his head, “How could it be possible. They only have one request. If Nawaki and Mikoto’s children awakened the Sharingan, they would be counted as members of the Uchiha Clan.”
“This is unacceptable!” Before Masahiko could speak, Tsunade yelled, clenching her fists.
The other people in the room also frowned. Although they didn’t like it, the Sharingan is something…
Masahiko smiled, shaking his head, “If so, the children will 100% belong to the Uchiha Clan.”
Seeing that others were puzzled, Masahiko didn’t explain. The Senju’s blood will assist the Uchiha’s blood, but no one would believe it.
“We can’t agree to this condition, Hokage-Sama.” It was Kenji speaking. As the current Senju Patriarch and Nawaki’s father, he has more to say in this regard.
Nawaki had a solemn expression, he knew how serious this matter is.
The atmosphere was getting intense. Masahiko sighed, “Since they’re willing to make a request, then this matter is settled. Nawaki is only 17 years old, and Mikoto is 16 years old. What’s the hurry, everyone will discuss it later on.”
Hiruzen and Danzo looked at each other. The expressions their face were a little cautious. The Senju and the Uchiha are two big clans in Konoha. In fact, for this reason, they don’t support the marriage between the two clans. However, because of Mito and Masahiko, they can only bury this idea in their hearts and take the initiative to help.
Masahiko actually knew this, but he didn’t care. He fully understands that it was impossible to unite the two clans even with this marriage. And this is just because it was Nawaki, if it’s someone else, he would have taken the initiative to stop it. At least until he possesses the power of the Kekkei Mora, it would be too “dangerous.”
The marriage was basically set, and what remained is the wrangling between the two families.
After all, the current Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan is Kagami. Even if the three elders are very tough, one glare from his Mongekyou Sharingan will smooth things up.
In the end, the Uchiha clan compromised a little bit. If the two have more than one child, the eldest son will be a Senju no matter what, and the youngest children must be surnamed Uchiha if they awakened their Sharingan before graduating from the Ninja Academy.
The Senju didn’t persecute anymore. They were able to accept this condition. Before graduation from the Ninja Academy, kids these days would hardly experience any battles. It was almost impossible to awaken the Sharingan before that.
Although things are basically set, the two kids are still young after all, and this isn’t the Warring States Period, people don’t marry at the age of fifteen anymore. At that time, families encouraged early marriage because they were losing too many people in the war.
As for now, everyone marries after the age of 20, but the two didn’t want to delay it that far. After discussion, the Uchiha agreed to let her marry at the beginning of the year 38 of Konoha; that is, one and a half years later, Mikoto will marry a Senju.
The storm finally settled, but Masahiko was frowning, then he smiled and said, “I have one more condition to add.”
Everyone in the Uchiha was shocked; the Senju seemed a little confused. Masahiko didn’t intervene before, but when they finally came to an agreement, he spoke.
Masahiko looked at the Uchiha’s representatives, “Is there any girl in your clan who is close to Mikoto’s age? I don’t know something close like Miki Uchiha, Michi Uchiha, how about, Mikomo? Just find one and let her be married to Fugaku and compensate him.”
The audience was confused…
Masahiko was also helpless, and now he could only hope that matching names will have the power to bring Sasuke to life.
