Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 20 Master and Disciple

Hiruzen Sarutobi left with the future Sannin.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi confirmed that Tetsuya was fine, the changes that had occurred earlier were likely due to the aftereffects of the war.

After confirming that Tetsuya was alright, the Sannin were quite happy.

After all, they really like Chiba Ramen.

After a long day of rigorous training, being able to eat a bowl of steaming hot and delicious ramen can relieve even the fatigue from a whole day of hard work.

"Alright, all three of you go and cultivate."

Upon arriving at the road, Hiruzen Sarutobi addressed his three disciples.

"You did very well. As a ninja, you must always be vigilant about everyone around you."

This is the only way to ensure your own safety and the safety of the village. In the future, if you encounter someone you can't be sure of, remember, just like this time, don't act impulsively, come find me first, understand?

"Understood, Sarutobi-sensei!" *3

"Alright, that's settled then. I'll head back to the Hokage Building now. I haven't finished all the tasks the Hokage assigned me yet."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved to his disciples, then turned and walked towards the Hokage Building.

The three ninjas headed towards the training ground.

On the way, Tsunade suddenly spoke up.

"Well, since we misunderstood Mr. Chiba, should we take this opportunity to apologize?"

"Huh? Apologize?"

Jiraiya scratched his head.

"I don't think it's necessary. We didn't cause any trouble for Mr. Chiba. We even took Mr. Sarutobi to eat ramen. Come to think of it, we even helped the boss attract customers."

Tsunade glared at Jiraiya, then looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, what do you think?

Jiraiya also looked at Orochimaru, waiting for Orochimaru's answer.

"I think we should find an opportunity to talk to the boss. After all, what Sarutobi-sensei said today did have a bit of an interrogation feel to it."

If Mr. Chiba didn't think that way, that's fine. But if he did, it's obvious we were the ones who suspected him first, and our relationship with him probably wouldn't be what it is now.

"Orochimaru is right, so let's find some time another day to talk to Mr. Chiba and apologize."

Seeing that both of his teammates said so, Jiraiya had no choice but to obey the majority. He didn't think much of it; it was just an apology. As Jiraiya-sama, he was flexible and would admit his mistakes.

Chiba Ramen Shop.

After seeing off Hiruzen Sarutobi and his apprentice, Tetsuya returned to his kitchen.

"It seems that when the three ninjas came to eat noodles last time, they noticed some subtle changes in themselves and became suspicious. However, they were unsure of what was going on, so they called Hiruzen Sarutobi."

However, it seems that Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't see anything wrong either.

Tetsuya nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, his acting skills still needed improvement; he had actually managed to let Shinobu see through his act.

Or perhaps it should be said, as expected of the third ninja? He possesses sufficient caution and keen perception.

"Never mind, I'll leave Konoha and the Land of Fire anyway."

Since I am immortal, if anything happens to me and I want to leave, no one can stop me.

"At that point, it will simply mean leaving Konoha and the Land of Fire a little earlier."

Thinking about it, Tetsuya continued to study instant noodles, after all, this stuff was related to his future money-making plans.

Upon returning to the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi went straight to the Hokage's office.

With a noticeably pale complexion and a much older appearance, Tobirama Senju sat at his desk.

"Oh, it's a monkey. What's up?"

Upon seeing that it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who knocked on the door, Tobirama Senju immediately asked him what he wanted.

"Teacher, there are some things I'd like to talk to you about, related to the work of appeasing the villagers after the war."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't bother to hide anything from Tobirama Senju and directly told him about what happened at the ramen shop and his thoughts on pacifying the people.

After listening to what Hiruzen Sarutobi had to say, Tobirama Senju nodded.

"Monkey, your idea is very good. Let's do it your way. In the end, I will still pass the Hokage position to you."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was both surprised and delighted.

It seems that the position of Third Hokage will ultimately belong to him, and this time it will be different from before.

With Tobirama Senju in charge of Konoha this time, and then passing the Hokage position to him in front of many clan heads, let's see who dares to object this time.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Tobirama Senju say something with a touch of emotion.

"I also know a bit about the Chiba family you mentioned earlier. Back then, the Chiba family was one of the first families to follow our Senju family."

Tobirama Senju began to recount the past.

The history of the Chiba family following the Senju family dates back to the Warring States period. Before his elder brother, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha became famous, the Chiba family was already a vassal of the Senju family.

Unlike other families that chose to follow and submit to the Senju clan out of fear of Hashirama Senju's power, the Chiba clan, as the Senju clan's most loyal vassals, always stood behind the Senju clan during the Warring States period.

However, this also led to the Chiba family being resented by many other families. After all, some smaller families were no match for the Senju, so why shouldn't they be a match for the Chiba?

Later, the Chiba family suffered a joint attack from several smaller families, resulting in heavy losses and the near annihilation of their elite forces. However, the Chiba family never regretted their decision.

Later, his elder brother became the head of the Senju clan, made peace with the Uchiha clan led by Madara Uchiha, and together they founded Konoha.

The Chiba family also came to Konoha, but by then, there were very few members left in the Chiba family, and not even many ninjas.

The Chiba family, which was once quite renowned during the Warring States period, has since fallen into obscurity.

To Tobirama Senju's surprise, the Chiba family now has only one heir left, a Chiba Tetsuya whose cultivation aptitude is utterly useless.

However, after hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi say that Tetsuya Chiba had opened a ramen shop, Tobirama Senju thought that was a good thing.

If you're not a ninja, you don't have to do missions, go to the battlefield, or live a life of constant danger.

They lived peacefully in Konoha, allowing the Chiba family to continue their lineage, thus preventing the Senju clan, once loyal to them, from completely disappearing into the annals of history.

"Monkey, please take care of the Chiba family's kid for me from now on."

"I understand, teacher."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Suddenly, Tobirama Senju coughed violently for a while.

"Teacher, are you alright?"

Sarutobi looked at Tobirama Senju with concern, but Tobirama waved his hand dismissively.

"It's alright, I know my own body well. Monkey, I've decided to hand over the position of the next Hokage to you, so you must also shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. What I'm about to say is for you to hear, and you cannot tell a third person before you step down as Hokage, understand?"

Seeing Tobirama Senju's serious expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi also became nervous, but he still nodded.

"Don't worry, teacher, I swear I won't tell anyone. Just tell me what's wrong."
