Long Live The Hokage

en turned to look back at the three children.

The unexpected admiration of Nagato and Konan made him very pleased.

But…

“Kushina, what do you mean by that expression that seems to be saying: is this my Grandpa?”

“Sorry, Grandpa… I was just surprised by your reasoning.”

After a long while, Hiruzen smiled bitterly and said, “Elder Masahiko, you’re just overthinking.
The explosion tags we bought before is enough.”

“This procurement was only released in the form of a task because it takes too long, and there aren’t any suitable candidates to take it.”

Masahiko glanced at him with a smile, he didn’t believe his claims, but he still took the pile of mission in Hiruzen’s hand and randomly drew out one.

After two glanced, Masahiko looked at Hiruzen and smiled.

“What a coincidence, it’s another procurement task!” This time it was medicinal materials.

Masahiko quickly looked through a few.
Except for one escort mission, all were procurement tasks.
The purchased materials were varied and coincidentally, they were all A-level missions.

Danzo tried to cool the situation down, and came over, “Elder Masahiko, it’s just happened that when we needed to purchase these supplies, you came over to take a mission.
Yes, it’s all a coincidence.”

Compared with Hiruzen, Danzo had the ability to sell his lies.

Masahiko smiled, “It’s okay, I’ll take a procurement task, so bring the money.”

At that moment even Danzo’s expression froze on his face.
He regreted everything, and started to feel uneasy about sending Masahiko to purchase the goods.

Hiruzen quickly emphasized, “Elder Masahiko, these places are very far away, and there is basically no combat.”

“It’s okay, I’ll just take them to relax.
It’s not good to practice blindly.”

Masahiko made his choice, “I’ll take this one, the medicinal materials, I haven’t been in Nanakusa Island before.”

“It just happened that it’s quite troublesome for you to cross the sea, and I’m the only flying ninja here.” Masahiko stretched out his hand as if he’s hurriedly asking them for the money.

After a long while, Hiruzen sighed, “I’ll get it for you later.
Are you sure you want to take this task, though?”

Masahiko looked behind him, and the three excitedly nodded.

“Combat isn’t always important.
Such a task will yield them useful knowledge for the future.”

“I’ll take it.”

“Okay, the herbs you need to bring are the Energy Carrot, the Hell Valley, the Mandra Grass, the Giant Mato…”

Masahiko’s face stiffened; he never knew these things because he never needed them.

“Sensei, I know them all.” Konan behind him said, “Tsunade-Sama taught me these things, some are good for making pills, and others are used for antidotes…”

Masahiko smiled; he just dodged Hiruzen’s final shot.

Sure enough, with a slightly darkened face, Hiruzen placed the money and a map on the table.

“These should be enough.
In addition to the supplies you’re gonna purchase, the island itself should be filled with wild herbs.
With this map…” Hiruzen suddenly sighed; he knew now why Masahiko took the medicinal task; he won’t buy anything with the money.

Masahiko waved his hand, “Don’t worry, I will bring you enough herbs.”

With that, Masahiko turned and left, followed by the three children, “Let’s go, I’m taking you out for a trip.”

He obviously didn’t take this mission seriously; to him, it was just a special spiritual journey.

When the four of them walked away, Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Danzo.

“That’s okay, even if he takes the money.
At least we know Elder Masahiko would take care of this one.”

Danzo shook his head, “I’m afraid we’ve made a mistake.
We should have written more materials, knowing him, Elder Masahiko will bring most of the herbs back to the Land of the Whirlpool.”
