131 Identity Revealed (1)

Konoha.

The Rain falling from the dark clouds only increased the gloomy atmosphere of the village.

Numerous corpses of White Zetsu, as well as some Konoha Shinobi, were everywhere on the streets.

Uprooted Houses destroyed Shops everywhere. It was a scene of doom.

"Fire Style! Fire Dragon Jutsu"

Itachi brought his hand near his mouth as a fire dragon roared out of his mouth, burning the last batch of White Zetsu.

"It's finally done."

Shisui, beside Itachi, finally sighed in relief as even a single White Zetsu wasn't left, and all were killed.

Itachi looked at the corpses of his comrades on the streets, and his eyes showed a sad look.

"They all died while protecting the village, be strong, Itachi."

Perhaps sensing the thoughts of Itachi, Shisui encouraged him.

"I know, Shisui cough... cough."

Itachi shook his head, but suddenly Itachi coughed fiercely.

"Are you alright, Itachi?"

Seeing Itachi coughing, Shisui couldn't help but ask with worry.

"I'm fine."

Itachi stood up, rubbing his chest as he looked behind Shisui.

"Big Brother Shisui, let's go to my father. We need to save my mother."

At this time, Naruto and the Konoha Genin arrived near Shisui, his face full of worry.

"Don't worry too much; your mother isn't weak, Naruto."

Shisui rubbed the head of Naruto, encouraging him.

Shisui, after ordering a member of Uchiha Clan to look for the injured left towards the fighting square along with Itachi and Konoha 11.

"Reanimation Jutsu"

Orochimaru shouted as two coffins rose up from the ground.

"Don't even think about it."

Minato wanted to stop Orochimaru but was stopped by Tobirama, and the rest also had the same result.

Kozuki, who could stop Orochimaru, didn't do so since he became a little curious about who Orochimaru was talking about.

"Thud..."

The lid of the coffins fell down as everyone spotted two figures in it.

"That's..."

Whether it was Kakashi or Kurenai, they suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning after seeing one of the figures.

Black Kimono, with black hair and some red hair in the front and the face which even if years had passed they could still recognize it quickly.

{I know Jutsu shouldn't work, so worry not and just wait for the expression on the face of Orochimaru}

"Kozuki..."

The eyes of Kurenai were wet as, with a slightly choking voice, she said the name of the person in the coffin.

Kakashi also had a sad expression on his face as he didn't expect to see his best friend again and might even fight as enemies now.

Kozuki, who looked at his past self, was stunned, and, after sensing the corpse, he chuckled as he knew Orochimaru was about to have heart failure.

Whoosh...

At this time, Shisui and Itachi and the Konoha 11 also arrived at the fighting square.

"Sensei"

Both Itachi and Shisui said subconsciously when they saw the figure in the coffin.

The rest of Konoha 11 were surprised hearing them call "Sensei" and were curious about who they were talking about.

"Third Hokage and Sword Demon"

The Kage from the other villages also recognized the two figures in the coffins.

"Hehe, you remember them, don't you, Shanks?"

Orochimaru laughed, looking at Kozuki as he was curious about the expression of Shanks under the mask.

The next moment, Orochimaru made a hand sign, and one of the figures in the coffin moved.

"Where am I... didn't I die?"

Sarutobi walked out from the coffin as he looked around in confusion.

"You were reanimated, Monkey."

The Second Hokage told Sarutobi about the situation.

"Sensei"

Sarutobi was surprised seeing Tobirama, but after hearing the word "Reanimated," he understood that he was called back to the world of the living.

Sarutobi looked around, and even if it was destroyed, he could still recognize that he was in Konoha.

"Minato, what's happening?"

Sarutobi spotted Minato and wanted to ask him about the situation.

"Don't you dare call my name!!!"

But contrary to his expectations, Sarutobi was rebuked by Minato harshly.

Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, but he sighed as if remembering something.

Sigh...

"I see; it seems you learned what happened?"

A sad expression appeared on the face of Sarutobi.

Sarutobi, who thought with him dying, he won't be judged anymore, never expected that even after death, he would have to face this trial session.

"Why did you do that? Wasn't he a hero of Konoha!!!?"

At this time, Kurenai came forward and yelled at Sarutobi with anger on her face.

Hearing her words, everyone who had a close relationship with Kozuki began to feel anger.

"I admired you, but you were behind the killing of my Clan, now I even doubt whether Nawaki died in the hands of the enemy."

Tsunade also came forward and yelled at Sarutobi.

"Sigh..."

Sarutobi sighed once again after he heard the words of Kurenai and Tsunade, but he didn't dare to explain anything.

He looked towards Kakashi, Sakumo, Jiraya, and everyone he knew but only found hate in their eyes.

"Killing the Clan, what are you talking about, Tsunade?"

Tobirama, who heard the words of Tsunade, was confused as he couldn't help but ask.

The other Kage and even Orochimaru picked up their ears, wanting to know what happened.

Even if Mitokado and Koharu were executed in front of the whole village, they were only tagged with the crime of betraying Kozuki, and more details were kept a secret.

It's not that Minato didn't want to announce it but announcing it could have caused a rebellion from Konoha Shinobi.

In this world, where death was a common thing, "Will" was the thing that drove a Shinobi to fight; if they found what they were fighting for was a big lie, the consequences would be terrible.

Tsunade quickly explained what the members of F4 did to Senju Clan, Sakumo and finally told the truth about Kozuki.

"For his rule, he even tried to kill a Hero who helped Konoha win the war and saved the lives of numerous Shinobi."

Tsunade quickly explained what happened as the expression on the face of Tobirama became more and more and ugly.

"Sarutobi, I regret even taking you as a student."

Tobirama, even if he was angry, knew there was no point in crying over it and could only express his disappointment while shaking his head.
