Chapter 029- Uzushiogakure

Sarutobi is now sitting with Uzukage in the Kage building of Uzushiogakure. Sarutobi looked at the old uzukage and noticed that he is still quite shocked from the earlier encounter that he had with Hashirama and Madara.

'I guess anyone would be shocked after seeing two legendary dead man suddenly becoming alive. Not to mention, the Uzukage is front of me is from the warring state periods and has seen the peak power of Hashirama and Madara with his own eyes.' Sarutobi thought as he tried to exchange some pleasantries first in order to ease Uzukage's tension to some extent.

After Uzukage managed to return to his normal state, Sarutobi said to him, "So, uzukage-sama, how about the proposal that I mentioned to you about the exchange students in the letter?"

Uzukage looked a little unnatural as he slightly bowed to Sarutobi and said, "I apologize, Hokage-sama. I have been quite lazy in that matter. But don't worry, the ninjas that will be send to the Konoha village will be decided before you leave here."

"If you want, you can choose some potential children yourself." Uzukage said in a humble manner.

"Then I will do so." Sarutobi replied.

'Damn! Even though I wanted to plant some spies in the Konoha using this opportunity but now I have no choice left but to give away the talented ninjas in my village in order to not anger Konoha. Sigh, if only Hashirama and Madara did not get reincarnated somehow, I would not have to worry this much.' Uzukage thought

'Not to mention, those two even managed to reconcile as well and now their relationship seems to be quite similar to how it was before Madara defected from the village. I am sorry father; it seems like I will not be able make our village independent from Konoha during my reign. I will just have to put my trust in the future generations hoping that they would be able to find some way for our village to get stronger and get the same status as the five great shinobi villages."

Uzukage sighed in sorrow as all of the plans that he made in the past are now going down the drain just because some people decided to come back from the dead.

Sarutobi noticed the unnaturalness on the face of Uzukage but he pretended that he didn't see it as he thought, 'I hope you wouldn't do something stupid. Otherwise, even if you become my father-in-law, I will not hesitate to destroy the Uzushiogakure from the face of the ninja world. Of course, I wouldn't mind keeping some uzumakis that would be loyal to me but I really hope we don't reach that state.'

"By the way, Uzukage-sama. You haven't yet introduced your daughter to me." Sarutobi said.

"Oh, yes, you are right. Sorry for my forgetfulness. With how old I have become, it's hard to remember the things all the time." Uzukage said before shouting to the guards standing in the door, "Go and call my daughter here. Make sure to remind her that her fiancé will be meeting her."

"It should take a while for her to come here. Let's drink some tea while waiting for her." Uzukage started to make some tea using his precious tea leaves stored in the office.

"If you don't mind me asking, Hokage sama. Can you tell me how Hashirama sama and Madara sama managed to come back to life? Such thing shouldn't be possible right!" Uzukage asked with some curiosity while brewing the tea.

"I have no intention of hiding the reason behind their resurrection, Uzukage sama. After all, you are going to be my father-in-law if nothing goes wrong. Since we are going to be a family, how it would be improper of me to hide something from my own family, right?" Sarutobi chuckled slightly as he decided to tell the reason while mixing it with some falsehood to deceive others.

Even though the information is a secret, it will not be long before the other villages will notice the presence of Hashirama and Madara. From some sources, Sarutobi has already come to know about the fact that the other villages seem to have already noticed the presence of Tobirama in Konoha.

But those villages are not the main concern of Sarutobi. Even if other major villages know about the true resurrection technique, they have no chance but to sit back and watch while Konoha keeps growing stronger. Even if band together to attack, with the current strength Konoha possesses, they have no chance of even entering the land of fire let alone defeating the Konoha.

Sarutobi's main concern are otsutsukis. Even though before dying, he never watched the boruto anime, but from some clips here and there in youtube or some other social media, Sarutobi has come to know about the presence of the otsutsukis in the shinobi world during this period of time.

Even though he is quite sure that they will very likely stay dormant till the birth of Boruto, Sarutobi still doesn't want to take any chances. If by any chance, the true resurrection technique created by Tobirama interests the otsutsukis, he would then surely fail in his mission in this world.

So, for safety, Sarutobi plans to tell half lie and half truth in order to make others not investigate further in this topic.

"Yes, yes, you're right. Between families, there should be no secrets." Uzukage replied with a smile.

"Well then, the reason for their resurrection is quite simple. You should know about the impure world reincarnation jutsu, right?" Sarutobi asked while sipping on the tea served by Uzukage.

"The forbidden jutsu created by Tobirama senju, right?" Uzukage asked back.

"Yes, you're right. You see, after my teacher died, I couldn't take the sadness at all. So, I decided to brink him back using the impure world reincarnation. Since then, he has been in the village helping me manage various things and teaching me how to be a good Kage."

"But since Tobirama-sensei felt that his current body was inconvenient while doing various things as it couldn't feel anything, he decided to improve the jutsu. And this is the result of his research."

"Now anyone ressurected with this jutsu can live like a normal person except for the fact that they can't improve their strength nor can they age." Sarutobi said with a smile.

'Even if they know about this improved version of the jutsu, the otsutsukis should not take any interest of it considering they didn't do such thing after seeing the improved version of the same thing in the canon.' Sarutobi thought as he hoped nothing would go wrong before he has the strength to rival them.

'Damn that bastard Tobirama, even after his death, he gives people headache.' Uzukage internally cursed.

"Then I must congratulate you for getting back you sensei and other ancestors." Uzukage said with a fake smile in his face.

"Thank you, Uzukage sama. If you don't mind, I have something to ask of you as a family." Sarutobi said.

"Go ahead." Uzukage replied.

"The thing is I was hoping you would allow me to go through the forbidden techniques stored in your clan. Since I am going to be your son-in-law soon, I am sure you wouldn't mind such a small thing, right? After all, we are a family." Sarutobi said with a smirk on his face.

Uzukage's face instantly become dark after hearing that, he asked Sarutobi in a gloomy tone, "Hoakge-sama, you should know that this kind of secret techniques isn't passed on to someone easily even if the said person is a family. I am sure you wouldn't give me forbidden techniques of Konoha if I ask, will you?"
