Chapter 262: Abrupt End
Within Konoha Village.
Masahiko finally walked out of the Senju clan compound.
During this time, he had devoted all his energy to the Senju, staying indoors every day, researching a method to cure "infertility."
Now that it was finally resolved, Masahiko felt a bit empty inside, not knowing what to do.
"Should I go to the Sand Village for revenge?" Masahiko sighed slightly.
Masahiko had to take half the blame for Kenji's death, and the other half lay with the Sand Village.
"The direct enemy, Ebizo, has already been killed by Sakumo. The indirect enemy... Chiyo?"
Masahiko shook his head, deciding against going. Chiyo was also a pitiful person; her son and daughter-in-law died in battle, her younger brother died in battle, and her grandson defected. Now she was truly all alone.
"In the future, if she plays dead while fishing, she probably won't even know who she is pretending for." Thinking of this, he even felt a bit of sorrow for her.
After a long while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I am the one who is truly all alone, right? Everyone left is a junior or a disciple. I actually have the time to pity others..."
His mood darkened slightly. "I should go see my adopted daughter and find some comfort."
Masahiko changed his appearance and headed towards the Taobao Shop.
Sara was in the shop. Ever since Teuchi took in a new apprentice, she had a lot of free time. She had just opened a lunch bought from elsewhere and was getting ready to eat... No matter how delicious Ichiraku Ramen was, one would eventually get tired of it.
Seeing Masahiko return, she revealed a sweet smile. "Father, you are back. Have you eaten?"
"I haven't eaten. What, are you going to share half with me?"
Sara: "..."
"You eat this portion, I will go buy another one."
Masahiko smiled and waved his hand. "No need. It's been a long time since I had ramen. Just make me a bowl of noodles after you finish eating."
"I will go right now, it will be quick." Sara said, running out energetically.
"Add some extra noodles for me!" Masahiko shouted after her.
Ten minutes later, father and daughter sat across from each other eating. The warm atmosphere made Masahiko enjoy his meal even more.
"Has anything special happened recently?" Taking a big bite of noodles, Masahiko asked somewhat vaguely.
Sara shook her head. "Nothing else. It is just that Obito-kun has been looking for you every day for the past two days. He comes in the morning and afternoon. At this time, he has gone back to eat."
Masahiko was startled. "Obito is looking for me?"
He pondered slightly. "Could it be that this guy didn't pass the Chunin Exams and came to me for comfort? Rin passed, but he didn't. You can't blame Konoha if a person is stupid..."
Masahiko wasn't the least bit curious about why he didn't pass. What other reason could there be besides his brain not working well?
"When he comes this afternoon, I will definitely laugh at him." Masahiko had absolutely no sympathy.
"Master! Take me to the battlefield!"
Masahiko looked at the impassioned and hot-blooded Obito across from him, momentarily stunned.
"Master! You promised to take me to the battlefield!" Seeing Masahiko not replying, Obito grew anxious.
Masahiko nodded. "That did happen, but didn't I say in half a year? Right now, it's been... four months?"
Obito said anxiously, "I am ready right now, Master!"
"Is that so? Genin Obito Uchiha?"
Obito's face turned bitter. "Master, you know about it too?"
"It really wasn't my fault this time during the Chunin Exams..."
Afterwards, Obito explained everything from the written exam questions being difficult, to the opponent in the combat matches being strong, from his own carelessness, to helping an old lady cross the street...
"Alright, it's the old lady's fault."
"Master, just take me with you. Rin went to the battlefield, I have to go protect her, otherwise you wouldn't be able to rest easy, right?"
Masahiko was startled. "Rin went? Minato is still in Konoha!"
Obito was full of sorrow. "Everyone who became a Chunin in this exam was taken there. It's our Clan Head who led the team, but I wasn't included..."
"Kagami is leading the team?" Masahiko pondered slightly. "Konoha is using the battlefield to train troops..."
Looking at Obito across from him, Masahiko smiled faintly. No wonder he was so anxious. Over half of his classmates had battlefield experience, but Obito was left behind.
Pondering slightly, Masahiko thought since he had nothing going on, he might as well take Obito around to participate more in the Third War. He might get more Witness Points.
"Alright, pack your things. I will take you on a trip and let you experience the battlefield."
Obito rejoiced. "Master, I have already packed everything!"
Masahiko was startled. He turned to look at Sara. "You heard what we just said. I am taking him to the battlefield for a spin."
Sara smiled. "I understand, Father."
Her tone was relaxed, as if the battlefield was Masahiko's back garden.
If it were any other ninja, they would naturally realize something was wrong, but Obito was a complete novice. He didn't react at all, still immersed in the excitement of going to the battlefield.
Masahiko didn't have anything special to carry. He stood up and was about to speak when he suddenly froze in place.
"Mostly witnessed and significantly changed the Naruto World main storyline: Third Great Ninja War. Obtained 100(/2)(x8) Witness Points."
"Third Great Ninja War, is over? That means, the Rock Village, retreated..."
Masahiko fell into silence.
This was the second time since Konoha's founding that the base points for a main storyline were 100, which also indirectly reflected the importance of the Third Great Ninja War.
In the original story, Konoha was supposed to be besieged by the other four nations, suffering heavy losses, forcing them to send children who had just graduated from the ninja academy to the battlefield.
But now, because of the Land of Whirlpools, the Cloud Village had not completely recovered its vitality and did not participate in the war. The Mist Village merely made a brief appearance and left. The Sand Village couldn't hold on after losing a bunch of supplies and an elder. Leaving only the Rock Village to face Konoha alone, they naturally couldn't hold on.
Konoha was treating them as training targets. It was only natural for them to concede, and to stop Konoha from continuing to attack them, they probably had to pay a price.
"With this, the plot has truly exploded completely." Masahiko sighed.
Too many things happened in the Third Great Ninja War. It didn't matter if some didn't happen, like Minato's title. Gold... yellow will always flash.
But other things, like on Obito's side, Masahiko had originally planned to go with the flow and see if he could help him awaken his eyes, and... a bunch of troublesome things!
"Why did they concede so easily? Onoki, it seems you are also getting old..."
"Master, Master, should we set off?" Obito's urging voice came.
Masahiko glanced at him and plopped back down on his chair. "We are not going."
Obito was shocked. "Master..."
Masahiko waved his hand. "The war is over!"
"What?!"
Obito was shocked. Seeing Masahiko nod in confirmation, the grievance in his heart "burned", and his eyes suddenly turned into two-tomoe Sharingan.
Masahiko didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Is this a blessing in disguise? Or protagonist explosive growth?"
...
In the middle of the 44th year of Konoha, the Third Great Ninja War, which lasted less than a year, came to an abrupt end!
