The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, never experienced these things, feeling like an outsider and unable to grasp why the other three Hokage knew what had happened.
How come as Hokage, he knew nothing at all?
Aren't we all Hokage? Weren't the First Hokage and the Second Hokage gone even before him? How come they know something too?
"Where is Danzo?"
Senju Tobirama mentioned Shimura Danzo, speaking coldly: "Has Danzo teamed up with this little brat and Orochimaru to deceive me and my brother, and now doesn't dare to come out?"
"Well..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated for a moment, explaining with a complex expression: "Second Hokage, the sacrificial offering used by Kagura for the Reanimation Jutsu to revive me was Danzo..."
"This little brat..."
"Used Danzo to revive you?"
Senju Tobirama was silenced upon hearing these words.
This young Akihara Kagura... sure knows how to play tricks!
Even Senju Tobirama could imagine the tragic state of Shimura Danzo's death, making him almost feel reluctant to trouble Shimura Danzo...
"Tobirama!"
Senju Hashirama immediately reproached his brother: "If you hadn't invented the Reanimation Jutsu, none of this would have happened... I warned you long ago not to study such strange jutsu!"
"Brother!"
Senju Tobirama coldly looked at his brother, explaining in a low voice: "This matter isn't about the jutsu, the real evil isn't the jutsu, but the evil in people's hearts..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't forget his initial resolve and helped explain: "Second Hokage, Kagura might have been too deeply influenced by Danzo, acting too unscrupulously..."
"Monkey, almost forgot!"
The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, immediately turned to Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, bringing up the unresolved issue from the afternoon: "Monkey, what's the situation with the Uchiha Clan after all, Uchiha are companions of the village, and you are the village's Hokage..."
"The Uchiha Clan are innately evil..."
Senju Tobirama coldly defended Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"The Uchiha Clan is wiped out?"
Namikaze Minato's face was even more shocked, news today just getting more earth-shattering: "When I was alive, I didn't even have the chance to deal with the Uchiha matter..."
Orochimaru, looking at Namikaze Minato, who had once taken the position of Fourth Hokage, chuckled: "Minato, you died too early, indeed bear a great responsibility! And the one who destroyed the Uchiha Clan, you should be quite familiar with too..."
"This..."
Namikaze Minato was suddenly a bit embarrassed, continuing with an awkward tone: "I once said I would wholeheartedly protect Kushina, and if I hadn't used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, I wouldn't have been able to separate the Nine-Tails' Chakra, my power wasn't sufficient to seal the entire Nine-Tails either..."
"The Nine-Tails is indeed powerful."
Senju Hashirama nodded seriously.
"Well..."
Namikaze Minato was even more awkward, hurriedly changing the topic: "Speaking of which, who is the person who annihilated the Uchiha? Is it someone I know well? Kakashi? Jiraiya-sensei? They don't seem like the type to do such things..."
"It was Uchiha Obito."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, straightforwardly bringing up the matter that Namikaze Minato would inevitably find out: "Minato, one of the people who destroyed the Uchiha was your former student, Uchiha Obito..."
"Obito..."
Namikaze Minato's look immediately turned somber, recalling that deceased student: "Is he still alive?"
"Not only that..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Namikaze Minato, continuing: "The one who incited the Nine-Tails' chaos in the village, causing the death of Biwako and Uzumaki Kushina was also him..."
In that Nine-Tails' riot back then, not only Namikaze Minato and his wife died, but also Sarutobi Hiruzen's wife, Sarutobi Biwako.
"Uchiha Obito almost killed your leftover child, Naruto Uzumaki, fortunately, Kagura and Kakashi arrived in time to save Naruto..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen acknowledged Kagura's contribution: "If Kagura hadn't coincidentally run into Uchiha Obito trying to kill Naruto, we wouldn't have even known that Uchiha Obito, who was buried at the Memorial Stele, was still alive in this world..."
"Thank you."
Namikaze Minato sincerely thanked Akihara Kagura.
"..."
Akihara Kagura paused for a second, then nonchalantly said: "It doesn't matter, that guy even killed Aburame Ryuma to frame me for betraying Konoha. Lord Danzo was influenced by this event, otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up in a life-or-death situation with him..."
"So that's how it is..."
Senju Hashirama suddenly understood, summarizing: "In that case, all problems originate from that traitorous ninja called Uchiha Obito, right?"
"..."
The others, quite intelligent, had a hard-to-describe look on their faces directed at Akihara Kagura.
"Not really..."
Senju Tobirama touched his forehead, worrying about his brother's intelligence and emotional quotient: "Although everything stems from Uchiha Obito, the mistakes made by others cannot be easily forgiven, we are still under control by others. This little guy wants to use us to manipulate Konoha's politics!"
"Isn't the Second Hokage the one who made the most mistakes?"
Orochimaru showed no mercy to his idol, smilingly pointing out his mistake: "If the Second Hokage hadn't separated the Uchiha Clan from Konoha, the Uchiha Clan wouldn't have perished..."
