56 [The Last Flicker!]

'...'

I feel awe at seeing the glory of the past, the Mokotun… one of the most feared bloodlines across the elemental nations…. And the pride of the Suiton master, materializing water out of thin air and using it both as a sword and the shield… against the Professor, the master of every shinobi field…

Forest was covering most of the field and only the sensors could probably see what was going on…

"Tobi report the situation..."

"Yes, Taichou, Hokage-sama is currently standing inside a cage made of staff…? He and Orochimaru are talking… I can read their lips and Hokage-sama seems to be telling him he will show one final jutsu that even Orochimaru doesn't know..."

"Keep going!" Everyone seemed anxious as I was the only one able to tell them what really was happening inside the barrier…

"Hokage-sama created 2 shadow cones and did some hand seals, but Shodaime-sama did a genjutsu according to his words… Hokage-sama probably can't see anything as he was hit by Lord First's Mokutun… He's making his move… the two shadow clones each grabbed onto Lord First and Lord Second and..."

I watch in astonishment as I feel the chakra in their bodies fade away and dragged towards the clone's stomach…

"What!" Taichou was getting restless so I hurriedly continued…

"Yes, Hokage-sama managed to seal both Lord First and Lord Second and now is fighting Orochimaru with his staff… He is fighting with Orochimaru and has grabbed onto him as well and is probably trying to seal him away as well..."

"Break the barrier!" As soon as Taichou heard that both of the Hokage's are sealed, he shouted at me to break the barrier…

I was about to kill the sound-nin's but I sensed something inside and hurriedly activated magnet release…

'Magnet Release'

Orochimaru was trying to backstab Hokage-sama with the sword so I stopped it and made it hover in mid-air…

'Now for the barrier… Magnet release'

As the sound four were focusing on maintaining the barrier, I took control of the metal pipes or beams in the roof and bound it around them…

'Damn I wanted to kill them but I can't concentrate enough while holding the sword too... Orochimaru is putting up a fight...'

"I can't concentrate enough to kill them so take care of them for me..." The barrier came down as I disrupted their seals and 4 of the ANBU's went to dispatch the sound-nin's while the rest of us rushed towards Hokage-sama…

We arrived to see Orochimaru glaring at Hokage-sama before he lost his strength and fell down…

*thud*

The pressure on the sword vanished so it flew towards me and I caught it in my hands… Hokage-sama seemed to still have consciousness so I rushed and placed my hands on his chest…

'Mystical Palm Technique'

'...'

'...why isn't it working'

His chest vibrated as a deep chuckle erupted from him��

"You are quite the shinobi, Tobi-kun… look after the village alright… That is my last order as Hokage..."

Tears started pouring down my face through the mask… The green light on my palms faded as I let them fall aside… I let Hokage-sama's body rest on the floor and look at the peaceful smile on his face…

'...'

---------------------------X0X----------------------------

It took me a moment to collect myself but I removed my mask and held it aside… I could feel several large chakra signatures land on the roof…

'Kakashi-san, Guy-san...wait...'

I could feel a presence on the same level as Hokage-sama and Orochimaru land on the roof…

'Fast...'

By the time I realized what was happening a large man with white spiky hair and red markings on his face stood between the bodies of Hokage-sama and Orochimaru… He had a red Haori on top of his the standard chainmail and a big scroll on his back…

'Inspect...nothing but question marks...'

I look at the sword in my hand… 'Inspect...'

[S-rank weapon: Sword of Kusanagi]

[The sword of Kusanagi is a legendary blade that can quickly extend and retract to attack from long distances, be controlled telekinetically, and could cut through anything. All damage done by the sword is true damage.]

[Damage= 10,000*(Depth of stab)]

'...'

I turn to look back at the white-haired man but notice that he was giving me a curious stare…

'Right I don't fit the crowd present here...' The people surrounding me were leaders of the clan and various departments of the village… I look for Taichous's chakra signature and hand him the sword before jumping down from the rooftop back into the arena… The fighting has seized for now so I made my way back to the civilian section of the audience…

There were many genin's bustling about waking up civilians and taking them back to the secure bunker for the night… I walk up to mom and dad… I use a little bit of chakra and inject it into them to wake them up…

"Tobi-kun" They look like they had a nice rest so I shook them awake and they slowly took in their surroundings…

The arena was broken down in several places, there were dents on the ground and upon looking at the horizon you could see smoke coming from various parts of Konoha…

Mom and Dad's face paled as then frantically started patting to make sure I was still in one piece…

"Tobi! What happened!"

'...that's a long story!'

I look at the setting sun and motioned for them to move on...

"Hurry on I'll explain it on the way to the bunker!"

"Bunker?"

'This is gonna be a long talk...'
