Chapter Text

"The information mentioned here is very important. We must take this seriously, if this is such a large threat that the Kage Summit was called", Shikaku says looking like he wants to be anywhere but here. Inoichi and Choza pat his shoulder sympathetically.

The rest of the people reply in various noises of agreement.

"So far all we have gathered that there is an organization called the 'Akatsuki'. Their goal is to collect all the tailed beast. The head of the Organization is the 'Madara Uchiha' , who is still alive after all this time."

"He may not have his previous strength, but he still manages to gather a multitude of S-rank nin. We can't even be entirely sure what these people are capable of", adds Minato looking grim.

"Yes. Then all the tailed-beasts will be combined into one into the 'Ten-Tails'. He plans to use the power of the Ten-Tails to cast the 'Eternal Tsukuyomi' and put everyone in a genjutsu to gain his previous power, all in a twisted attempt at peace", Shikaku adds sighing.

"And not to forget about the Shinobi Alliance that is being formed consisting of all the villages against the Akatsuki so all may not be lost yet", says Minato in a slightly amazed tone.

Everyone listens attentively. They still can't process all of the information and most of all the Shinobi Alliance. Even the idea of an alliance with hostile nations makes them dumbfounded.

"The matter with Danzo also needs to be dealt with. After all he has become so distrusted that even all the other villages are suspicious of", says Orochimaru taking his chance. Jiraiya hmms in agreement.

"We should see further what happens. I am quite sure that more of his machinations will be revealed soon. 

No one even bothers to defend him. All respect for him is lost in the people. The Sandaime looks pale and grim at Danzo's impending doom.

"Well atleast Konoha hasn't completely lost its reputation. Hatake seems to have a reputation among the Kage. She will probably be the one to take the mantle of Hokage from her generation", says Orochimaru. Kakashi purses her lips.

"Now, I believe that you all have had sufficient time to discuss this scene so we shall move forward."

The screen lights again and the title appears, "Hokage".

Various people look interested as they wonder which Hokage are they talking about. Could it be a future Hokage?!

Various Shinobi appear on a desolate battlefield. They wear a headband with 'Shinobi' kanji on it. They are of every Shinobi village and seem to be fighting on the same side They are making handsigns of a Jutsu synchronized with each other. A giant creature releases a gigantic red ball of energy. It is the Ten-Tails. At the same time the Shinobi smash their hands on the ground and yell, "Earth Style Barrier".

The red ball of energy crashes into the hundreds and hundreds of earth walls and breaks them easily. The last barrier breaks. The Shinobi brace for imapact and suddenly the Eight-Tails takes place in holding the energy ball back, clearly struggling. "Lord Bee", a Kumo nin whispers frustrated. 

"The sheer magnitude of power almost seems impossible to believe. But here we are seeing it with our own eyes", says Jiraiya.

"That is the perfect Jinchuuriki. Even the Eight-Tails has got nothing on it", says Kushina awed wondering how the Nine-Tails would fare against it.

"I guess a common enemy and a threat of annihilation really unites the people. The Shinobi of all the 5 nations are working together", says Shikaku appearing incredulous.

Suddenly the energy ball disappears. A figure suddenly appears as if teleported holding a strangely shaped Kunai. Their face is shown. They are wearing a white haori with flames at the bottom over a standard Jounin uniform. "Am I late", asks Minato.

Two figures are behind him. They are teenagers. One has blonde hair while the other has cherry pink hair. The pink haired girl is healing the blonde.

"Is the Minato? But how?! Wasn't he?", exclaims Kushina. "And who are the others? Is it her?!".

"That looks like you Sensei", says Kakashi quietly to Minato who just shrugs.

"Yeah, only 16 years", the blonde deadpans with blank eyes. Minato gets a dumbfounded look on his face while he laughs nervously. The pinkette just looks on confused still healing the blonde teenager.

The blonde suddenly laughs and says, "Nah, you're right on time dad!".

"Now, I wonder where you learned that from?", he wondered but seems to be exactly full well aware where she got that from.

The back of his Haori reads 'Fourth Hokage'. The pinkette just blinks confused muttering, "who? who's dad?".

A flashback is shown two figures standing. The silver haired girl who looks about 8 or 9 deadpans the same way in a drawling voice, "Minato-sensei, you're an idiot". Minato just hangs his head. It makes a funny picture of a child and an adult with the adult getting bullied.

Minato couldn't believe it. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about becoming Hokage but it was always just in passing. It was always Kushina who wanted to be Hokage. 

Kakashi looks excited about her Sensei becoming Hokage. And at the same time looks embarrassed at the scene.

"That looks like your daughter Minato", says Jiraiya wagging his eyebrows. Minato and Kushina just blush and doesn't look at each other. Kakashi just nods.

"Always getting bullied by Kakashi, aren't you Minato?", says Kushina with a teasing smile.

Everyone looks interested but don't say anything.

Suddenly the Bijjudama appears in a large water body where another Hiraishin Kunai is embedded on a rock. "My name is Minato Namikaze. Brace for an impending explosion". The ball explodes sending a huge shockwave that reaches over even so far away on the battlefield. 

"What is that?", a Nara mutters.

The pinkette looks questioningly towards Minato. "I sent Ten Tails' attack back toward the sea", he explains calmly.

The shockwave almost knocks everyone of their feet. A Yamanaka says almost whining, "That shock wave came out of nowhere! What's with that?!". "Stop complaining! We're lucky that we got off that easily!", the Nara says looking forward. They look to be standing in a group of three consisting of a Nara, Yamanaka and Akimichi. 

Minato's eyes get wide. "Is that?!", he looks towards Jiraiya for confirmation.

Jiraiya just throws back his head and laughs. "You did it kid!".

Everyone look at them questioningly.

"I have been working on a Space-Time Ninjutsu called the Flying Thunder God technique. It allows me to transport myself and others to a different location. But its still in its experimental phase though", explains Minato. Kakashi looks very impressed.

"Only you Minato", says Shikaku smiling while shaking his head.

Both Obito and Rin look excited at the idea of having the future Hokage as their teacher.

"So talk! Who are you?", asks the pinkette.

"Relax. I'm an ally", looking towards both her and Naruto. "Thanks for healing Naruto", he says smiling.

Minato looks at her and asks, "Are you Naruto's friend?"

"Yeah yeah, Sakura-chan's my best friend. She's super nice and strong", says Naruto while grinning. Sakura blushes clearly pleased.

"But she's also very bossy and gets angry all the time dattebayo", says Naruto. Sakura is again red in the face but with anger this time.

"You shut your trap", shouts Sakura angrily while she slams her chin on Naruto's head. "Don't waste your energy talking", shouts Sakura while she stands over Naruto's head looming.

"You're supposed to be healing me, but I just suffered more damage...", says Naruto pouting.

"I'll heal the extra damage too", says Sakura now having calmed down looking professional.

Minato just watches this going on quietly with a strange look on his face and suddenly laughs nervously. An image of angry Kushina pops up. "She reminds me a little of Kushina...".

"Please go easy on my daughter", smiling nervously.

"How Youthful", loudly whispers Guy. Obito just stares.

"Well at least Naruto has good friends", says Minato, "No matter how violent", whispers Minato away from Kushina. Kakashi hears it and just gives him a look.

Sakura smiles at that. She then frowns and looks downwards to Naruto and asks, "So, why did this happen so suddenly? It seems like you knew."

"I sensed his chakra when I was in Nine Tails Mode. The others should be arriving soon...", replies Naruto.

"Nine-Tails mode", someone gasps.

"Naruto learned to control the power of the Nine-Tails. Something I could not even dream of", says Kushina amazed.

"Others... hmmm", Shikaku thinks.

Everyone looks towards a certain direction sensing someone coming.

Suddenly the Sandaime appears beside Minato. "Minato, you're as fast as ever!", he says

"Lord Third Hokage?! And also... That's the", Sakura's voice trailed off as two more figures appeared.

"Fourth... You're better at teleporting than I am!", says Tobirama.

"All right, let's do this!", says Hashirama.

Some Konoha ninja say shocked, "No way!" "I don't believe it!"

"Lords First, Second..., Third... and even Lord Fourth... Minato! So you're the ones who stopped the attack, Lords Hokage! But who reanimated you?", says an Iwa ninja clearly awed.

"All of the previous Hokage?!", someone shouts.

"Granddad, Granduncle?! And is that Granduncles?!", says Tsunade suddenly who was just listening until now.

"Yes, it most likely is the Reanimation Jutsu. Tobirama-Sensei was the one who developed it. How did it fall into someone's hands?!", exclaims Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Even Sarutobi-Sensei. Though it does seem like he died after Minato if the future generation recognizes him", says Orochimaru with a strange emotion in his eyes. His voice was blank.

"Minato! Did you hear?! The Second Hokage himself said that you would be better than him", says Kushina excitedly. Kakashi also looks at him with a mixture of admiration and proud. Minato blushes at their combined attention.

"Orochimaru summoned us. We need to stop this war quickly." says the Sandaime.

"What? Didn't Orochimaru die?", asks Sakura while watching the events unfold.

"This is amazing. The previous Hokage are going to join us in battle!" "Now that's reassuring", people say feeling hopeful. 

"I don't know what's happening anymore!", says Sakura dejectedly still healing Naruto. 

"There's still more help coming, but they're taking a little longer", says Naruto to Sakura.

"Orochimaru-teme?!", exclaims Jiraiya loudly looking at him questioningly.

"I do not know the circumstances I learned the Jutsu. I had only known about it vaguely let alone master it", Orochimaru just shrugs his shoulders.

The Sandaime looks thoughtful.

Suddenly a figure comes bursting through the air and lands on an elevated platform with a boom. 

"Its about damn time! I've been waiting Hashirama!", shouts Madara with a fierce grin along with his signature Gunbai in his hand.

"I'll deal with you later! First I have to stop the Ten-Tails.", shouts Hashirama while pointing his finger towards Madara.

The grin falls off Madara's face very quickly. He looks shocked for a bit while frowning. 

Madara sighs and says," He hasn't changed a bit. We were never on the same page". 

Everyone starts laughing at the exchange. They had only heard about how Hashirama killed Madara, but not about their nature of relationship before that.

"Madara Uchiha?!", someone shouts. 

"Well, Grandfather was always quite eccentric", Tsunade just sighs. She had a good laugh, but at the same time feels melancholic at seeing her family again.

"It looks like Madara gained his full power if he is challenging Hashirama Senju to a battle", says Shikaku sighing.

Hashirama continues pointing his finger in a different direction, "After all its charging right at us". The humongous Ten-Tails appears running in their direction.

Scene Ends. The screen turns black again. 

The room bursts into chatter again.
