In a well outside of Yugakure, three Shinobi jumped out.
Masahiko frowned while looking back, and the Earth Release closed the well. Although the three of them repeatedly checked the room after Masahiko destroyed the altar and found nothing, Masahiko didnât want this place to see the sun ever again.
âItâs really possible that itâs Chusuke.â Masahiko sighed, âIf he was really alive back then, unless he got caught in such a place, I would have definitely been able to perceive him.â
âElder, where should we go now?â Jiraiya asked.
Masahiko hesitated, âGo back. The Akatsukiâs member should have left. I couldnât perceive his Chakra.â
The three embarked the journey back to Konoha, rushing toward the village at an extremely high speed. On the way, Masahiko frowned and glanced at his new skill.
Masahiko gradually understood that the Death Controlling Possessed Blood âNinjutsuâ wasnât only a curse but also a very vicious one. Keeping the soul forcibly bound to the body, at first thought, seems to be granting immortality. However, even the body has a lifespan, and Iâm afraid, even if itâs disabled, the soul will not be liberated until the body has completely turned into ashes.
âWith that being said, Hidanâs death in the original must have been quite painfulâŠâ Masahiko sighed and suddenly thought that he doesnât actually know now if Hidan has gained immortality or if heâs actually one of the corpses below!
ButâŠ
âAfter I destroyed the altar and broke the curse, I gained the ability to break the curse, but what does that mean?â Masahiko thought for a while, âDoes the system want me to use it to free Chusuke?â
As he kept going forward toward Konoha, Masahiko kept thinking about what is considered a curse in Naruto World, but he came up with nothing.
âThe Curse Seal? The Caged Bird Cursed Seal?â Masahiko frowned. It felt like he has obtained a useless skill, which made him feel quite unsatisfied.
âWhy did I get a cursed breaking skill, instead of the curse skill itself⊠It would have been so cool if I have got that, I would have been able to curse people all the time, people would have called me the Sorcerer of the UzumakiâŠâ
Masahiko looked back and saw both Jiraiya and Orochimaru following behind him; he was still a bit unwilling to give up.
âJiraiya, Stagnate!â
Jiraiya suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground.
âIt took effect?â Masahiko was taken aback.
âElder, youâŠâ Jiraiya didnât know whether to cry or laugh, âWhat are you going?â
Orochimaru stopped and looked over curiously.
Masahiko frowned, âJiraiya, did you feel a sudden rush of Qi that made you almost fall?â
The corner of Jiraiyaâs mouth twitched, âAh, no⊠I just slipped.â
Masahiko sighed long; he didnât even have the strength to scold him.
âAugh, letâs go.â
âTrash skill, ruining my YOUTH!â
âŠâŠ.
After a short period, the three reached Konoha. Jiraiya and Orochimaru went to report the mission to Hiruzen, and Masahiko was finally free.
After a long absence, he roamed around Konoha with his original appearance to let people know that he still existed. If he doesnât show up, enemies will think that heâs dead, and everything he has done would be meaningless.
He also went to the Senju Clan, took a personal look at Uchiha Mikotoâs situation, and then chatted with Mito⊠to explain where the daughter situation has come from.
Today, Masahiko doesnât have many secrets hidden from Minato except his origins and system. Even if he ended up somehow traveling through time and space, he will tell Mito.
âSecond Grandpa, even after more than one hundred years, youâre still the same.â
Mitoâs words made stiffened Masahikoâs face, and he decided that it was enough talking for todayâŠ
Finally, he dealt with everything, found a corner, and once again changed to Hagoromoâs identity.
âI can finally go home to see my girl! Letâs see who will stop me this time.â Masahiko murmured and went straight to Ichiraku Ramen.
Sakumo suddenly decided not to appear out of nowhere and stop him again.
And just when Masahiko walked into Ichiraku Ramen happily, a womanâs voice came, âWelcome⊠are you, Boss Hagoromo?â
Masahiko was taken aback, looked at the woman, hesitated for a moment, and then remembered that it should be Teuchiâs wife⊠but the woman is a beautyâŠ
âWell, yes, itâs me. Do my Sara behave well?â Masahiko smiled. He canât believe that he doubted Teuchi when he has such a young beautiful good looking woman by his side⊠Of course, Masahiko is not jealous or anything⊠probably.
The woman smiled, âLittle Sara is very kind. She helped us a lot. â
Masahiko nodded, âThatâs good. Iâll go up to see her.â
Sara was practicing her Chakra, and Masahiko could sense her presence on the second floor.
While walking, he whispered, âLittle Sara? Youâre just seven or eight years older than Sara!â
Masahiko walked up to the second floor with a few steps to find Sara sitting on the side, and besides here, a four or five-year-old girl calling her over and over âBig sister.â
âAyame?â Masahiko smiled upon seeing such a familiar character.
âFather, youâre back?â Sara stood up.
âWhat now? When there arenât any guests, theyâre making you responsible for taking care of their daughter?â
Sara shook her head, âAy-Chan is very cute. Ay-Chan, come here and greet uncle.â
âForget it. Just let her call me grandpa. You must always force you seniority in this world.â Masahiko said firmly, then he walked toward Sara and pat her head. Sara looked surprised for a moment then she smiled at him.
As for why Sara was calling Ayame âAy-Chan,â Masahiko didnât ask, probably because itâs cute.
âGrandpa Hagoromo.â Her cute little voice emitted, and Masahiko responded with a kind smile.
After chattering a bit with Sara and playing with Ayame, Masahiko smirked, âDaughter, go make me a bowl of ramen to eat. Letâs see if your cooking has improved in this half month.â
Sara nodded, then smiled, âAlright!â
âBack to my peaceful life, this time, thereâs really nothing to do. I will just wait for Ritian⊠to be born.â Laying on his chair, Masahiko vividly gave the little monster who was about to be born a name.
(T/N: Ritian: Chinese name: pronounced Ri tiĂ n, and it means day and night, which refers in this context to the yin and yang (The Senju and The Uchiha).)
As the days passed, Minato recovered and took the three kids to practice and take tasks, while Masahiko practiced his Gentle Fist and worked on decorating big and small Optimus Primes, waiting for the day when Mikoto gives birth.

Saraâs cooking skills got better and better, gradually her skills came very near to Teuchiâs, and Masahiko could no longer tell the difference.
Masahiko initially thought that these days will continue, and he will stay idle until June, but unexpectedly at the end of April, he learned exciting news.
âThe Chunin examâs registration?â
Frozen in his place, Masahiko suddenly pictured a massive wave of witness points in his mindâŠ
