Chapter 23: The Situation in the West


    On the following day, Masahiko woke up early and prepared himself to run around the Senju n to move his body.


    When he was running, he saw someoneing from a distance to the vige.


    Hashirama, did you go outst night? Masahiko felt confused. This is hisst chance to stay with Mito in the house; after all, it wont take long before his department to the west!


    Ah, Grandpa, morning exercise? Hashirama smiled and said, Why are you so surprised? Didnt the Hyuga n asked us to talk to the Uchiha yesterday? Thus, I went to the Uchihast night.


    Come again? Alone? What about Tobirama? Asked Mashiko.


    Tobirama went to the west to explore the mine and gather some intelligence. Second Grandpa, it will be so kind of you if you dont tell him about my visit to the Uchiha when hees back


    Oh, okay, I understand, Masahiko replied.


    He understands that Hashirama went to see Madarast night, and there was no ident. Well, Hashirama has already mastered Senjutsu anyway.


    Ah, Madara must be anxious by now Masahiko thought.


    After another dull day, and another boring week, Tobirama finally returned.


    However, when Hashirama greeted him, Tobiramas face seemed to be uneasy.


    Big brother, the situation in the west has be moreplicated, Tobirama said.


    Now the west has be aplete mess. Too many ns and family were involved. If we participate, Im afraid we will incite another conflict.


    Which ns and families? Asked Hashirama.


    Now the west is divided into three groups. The first isprised of the minor ns and families, including the Sarutobi, Shimura, Fuma, and a few more. They are allying with the Sarutobi to defend its mine. The medium-sized group isprised of the Aburame, Inuzuka, and the Hatake. And thest, the strongest group isprised of the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi n. These three ns canplement each other techniques, their joint formation is called the Ino-Shika-Cho; thus, they are the strongest of the bunch.


    We dont have to be hostiles to all of them, we can just join one of these three alliances. Masahiko smile while saying this.


    Tobirama looked at Masahiko and said, At first I thought so too, but joining them will cause other problems. The strongest group wouldnt want an outsider to join their synergy. The medium group, while rtively strong, Im afraid this will cause a dispute amongst them regarding the Chakra Conductive Meta. While the weakest group is too weak, and what can a single patriarch do against six?


    Masahiko thought, for now, it wont be a problem for the Senju to face six ns at the same time. But what problematic is now the other Elders already at semi-retired age, such a battle will force most of them into retirement, then when this warring states age reaches its full-scale battle, the Senju wont be able to keep up with the other Major ns.


    Moreover, you cannot dispatch all of your forces when you have the Uchiha, who are ready to leap from the shadows at any given time.


    Yes, they have six patriarchal level shinobi, while we only have three of us.


    Big brother, I, and second grandpa are the only shinobi that can stand their grounds against a patriarch, we could be ganged by many ns at the same time, and the Ino-Shika-Cho patriarchs might provide a harder challenge. Tobirama seemed anxious.


    Masahiko smiled and said, Youre thinking too little of your older brother and you shouldnt underestimate me either. I can even take ten of them.


    Tobirama chose to ignore Masahiko, then he looked at his brother and said, Even if you can fight four of them, Im afraid you cant go there personally. Im afraid the Uchiha might strike, and we dont have anyone to stand against them. Especially Madara.


    Tobirama, dont worry about the Uchiha. Masahiko looked at Hashirama then continued, Madara must be training now in a ce where no one is.


    Training? Tobirama got a little bit confused. However, none of them gave him an answer.


    Although Tobirama didnt get the answer, he didnt think much about it. He felt that his brother has done something good.


    In the meantime, Tobirama said, In this case, then we will leave tomorrow? Ill gather a squad. But who should I bring?


    Yes, we leave tomorrow. As for whom to take, bring Sora, hes one of our fines Jonin and need to refine his skills through experience. Also, if you need, take some Eltes, let them bring their own teams, lets use this chance to practice real war situations. Hashirama said.


    Yes, Sora is the only shinobi at the peak level of Jonin, although he doesck experience.


    Not a problem, we have you and second grandpa. As for the rest of the patriarchs, just leave them to me. After meeting with Madarast week, I begin to understand more my own strength, even against these six patriarchs, I believe I can defeat them.


    Yes Its evident that Toberama wants to say something, but he stayed quiet.


    Dont worry, we can deal with the west for now. The Uchiha wont make any move for a while And youll be amazed by how much your big brothers influence can affect the war.


    Okay. Tobirama seems to still be unsure about this. Then left to gather the forces.


    Now there are only two persons in the hall, Masahiko and Hashirama. Second grandpa, did you sign the contract?


    Ah, yes. I will use it in this uing battle. You can count on me to treat all of the Senju nsmens wounds. Masahiko said. Compared to the Fifth Hokage Senju Tsunade, Masahiko was still not quite sure about his amount of Chakra. Maybe he will end up using another few witness points.


    No, I think If I somehow ended up being too harsh on these six Patriarchs, would you keep them alive? Hashirama is a little bit embarrassed saying this because it was a silly request.


    No problem! Masahiko said this happily. As soon as Hashirama said this, he understands what this means.


    In order to stop all kinds of conflicts, Hashirama is already considering the idea of establishing Konoha. Masahiko thought.


    Seeing the grateful face of Hashirama, Masahiko exit the hall. Although the result of the Ninja God training is very satisfying, Hashirama still


    In short, Masahiko grew more respectful to Hashirama, when hes the God of Shinobi himself, you cant help but admire him, but the rest of him is all awkwardness.


    With Hashirama and Tobirama both busy preparing. Masahiko shook his head. Then he started writing a letter to inform the Uzumaki n.


    Generally, the content of the letter is like this. You dont have to worry about me. Im in good hands here with the Senju. As a great elder of the Uzumaki n, I ask you kindly to assign me as the ambassador of the Senju n. Regardless, thank you, Uzumaki patriarch.


    Sending this letter, Masahiko didnt know how the patriarch will feel when he read it.


    The time passed, following the Senju forces, Masahiko and others finally reached the Sarutobi n after walking for two days.<strong>Helloooo, Masahiko is back!
