Konoha.
The clouds obscured the sun, but some rays would somehow pass the clouds revealing the scene below.
A vast crowd could be seen outside the Hokage Office, and more and more people kept arriving.
The Anbu were stationed around as they kept the order in check.
In the crowd, a woman with long red hair stood looking towards the roof of the Hokage Building, and beside her was a woman around the same age as her with long black hair.
In front of these two stood two kids around 5 years old as one of them had blonde hair with whiskers on his face, and the other had black hair with a fan-shaped emblem printed on his black shirt.
"What is Minato going to do with them, Kushina?"
Mikoto had a sad expression since she learned the truth from Shisui and Itachi yesterday.
Since both Itachi and Shisui knew that Minato would announce this matter, so there was no need for them to hide.
Remembering the distressed expression on her son's face, Mikoto felt really bad as she knew that Itachi really admired Kozuki.
Kozuki dying fighting the enemy and Kozuki dying in his own villager's hands was different.
She knew her son was hit hard and hoped that he could recover soon.
"Minato said he would make an example of it, so no one dares to do such a thing again."
When Kushina learned the truth, the respect she once had for Sarutobi was gone completely.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was the Hokage, she would have dug his grave and destroyed his corpse already.
As they were talking, there was movement on the roof of Hokage Building as Minato donned in Hokage Robe appeared in front of everyone.
But unlike before, he didn't have the usual sunny smile on his face.
"It's Hokage Sama!!!"
"Hokage Sama!!!"
Everyone started to cheer in joy after seeing Minato.
Minato raised his hand as everyone immediately stopped cheering and looked at him curiously, wondering what would he announce.
"Every single one of you would be confused as to why I have gathered you here. so without any delay, let's proceed to it."
Minato waved his hand as Kakashi and Shisui, with the Anbu mask on their face, holding the terrified Advisors, arrived in front of everyone.
The chakra of Koharu and Mitokado had been sealed already, so they could not retaliate and were helpless.
"Aren't those?"
"Yes, Advisors"
"Why are they held like criminals?"
Everyone started to discuss with each other after seeing the fearful Koharu and Mitokado brought in front of them.
Minato once again raised his hands as everyone once again stopped talking.
"Five Years ago, Konoha's Hero Kozuki Shiro died fighting the enemy, but this isn't the whole truth, these two in front of you and Elder Danzo, betrayed him and they are the reason that he died"
Minato announced the crimes of both elders as there was a sudden silence below.
"What"
"How is it possible."
"Kill them..."
"How dare they do this...?"
"Feed them to dogs..."
"Kill these bastards...!"
After a short silence, everyone below roared in anger as they looked at Koharu and Mitokado with hate and could not wait to kill them with their own hands.
"They misused their authorities, and as a punishment, they will be executed right here in front of you, and this will be an example to those who wish to do the same"
"You can't do this, Minato."
"We are the students of Lord Second."
"What we did was for Konoha."
"We don't deserve this."
Koharu and Mitokado immediately tried to persuade Minato as they were scared silly after they heard him announcing their public execution.
Minato didn't care for their plea as he looked towards Kakashi and Shisui and waved his hands.
"Yes!"
Kakashi and Shisui got to work after seeing his gesture.
"No, stop"
"Don't do____"
Swish...
The begging of advisors stopped suddenly as both Kakashi and Shisui took out their blades and swung them down.
The mothers below covered their children's eyes as they didn't want them to see such a cruel sight.
Two heads flew up in the air as a fountain of blood followed it.
The heads fell down as they rolled around the legs of Kakashi and Shisui, who were covered in blood.
"I hope this can lessen your pain on the other side."
Looking at the beheaded elders, Kakashi hoped that this could ease the painful soul of Kozuki in the pure land.
Minato didn't announce the name of Sarutobi as even if he wanted to, he couldn't do such a thing.
No matter how cruel Sarutobi was, he was a Hokage; if it was announced that he was also involved, it could cause panic in the hearts of Ninja.
Hokage was someone every Ninja looked up to, so not to stain the title of Hokage, Minato didn't announce his deeds.
But the respect for Sarutobi was replaced by disgust; he even laughed at himself for how naive he was and would even kneel in front of such a person.
And for Danzo, his reputation today was destroyed; his name written in the heroes of Konoha was removed by him.
Soon, the Anbu took away the corpse of both the Advisors as everyone went back, but all of them had sad expressions on their faces.
"Mom, who is Kozuki Shiro?"
Naruto asked, looking towards his mother as this was the first time he heard of this name.
"He was the hero of Konoha and was also someone who saved mine and your father's life."
"Mom, then he must be very powerful"
Naruto asked curiously; since he could save his father and mother, his strength should be strong.
"Do you see that plain area Naruto, once mountains existed in that place, but it was Kozuki who destroyed them all while fighting the enemy"
Kushina pointed towards the backside of Konoha, where mountains once existed but were pulverized by Kozuki.
"You should become someone like him, Naruto."
Kushina hoped that her son could grow up to be a Strong Shinobi.
"No, I want to be the Hokage, the strongest Hokage there ever has been"
Even if he did have his parents, the dream of Naruto did not change since he wanted to prove himself.
He has always been called the Hokage's son, so he will become a Hokage even better than his father and get acknowledged by the whole village.
Kushina smiled after hearing her son's words as she seemed to see the shadow of the Young Minato in him.
Soon, what happened in Konoha soon spread throughout the Ninja World as everyone learned the truth behind the incident five years ago.
