On the empty land.
Two White Zetsus who had just been implanted with Hashirama Cells lay there.
In order to prevent any issues from arising between himself and White Zetsu Awei, Akihara Kagura sent White Zetsu Awei to see Nagato early on, to avoid discomfort at witnessing this scene.
"Ninpo: Reanimation Jutsu!"
Using materials obtained from Orochimaru, Akihara Kagura directly employed the Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect Second Hokage Senju Tobirama and Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.
The White Zetsu on the ground was suddenly enveloped by ash and paper debris!
A silver-haired man and a blond man emerged from the ash and paper debris!
Second Hokage Senju Tobirama...
...and Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato!
[System Prompt]: [You have a new supervisor (Namikaze Minato), newcomer reward package received, new trait unlocked.]
[Golden Flash (Transforms into a golden light, with incredible speed when using Flying Thunder God Jutsu and Instant Body Jutsu, akin to light speed, rendering enemies unable to react!)]
This trait...
Akihara Kagura found it somewhat peculiar.
Although Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato's trait was indeed Golden Flash, should such an effect belong to this world?
"Hmm? Is it that guy Orochimaru again causing trouble?"
The first thing Second Hokage Senju Tobirama did upon his resurrection was to look at the group present: "Monkey, are you here too? I remember you used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal us and that guy called Orochimaru before you died..."
"Second Hokage-sama."
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed some helplessness as he explained in a deep voice: "That happened in the afternoon, and now it's already night, our Dead Demon Consuming Seal has been undone…"
The speed was so fast it was unexpected.
In the afternoon, Sarutobi Hiruzen had just sacrificed himself to seal everyone, yet by night, everyone was unsealed and resurrected, with knowledge of some significant truths.
This time, it even involved Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.
"Eh? Can the seal actually be undone?"
Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, the new supervisor, was notably different, and looked at them in shock: "How was this accomplished?"
Theoretically, the Uzumaki Clan's most powerful sealing jutsu is the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, which involves the elusive Death God of this world; it shouldn't be possible to break it.
Yet it was broken?
"Hmph, I'm curious too."
Orochimaru glanced at the four resurrected Hokages, feeling slightly unwilling inside, as these were the strongest among the reanimators!
"Kagura-kun."
Orochimaru didn't spare his words, hinting at suspicion at this moment: "Exactly when did you research the method to break the Dead Demon Consuming Seal?"
"Or even…"
Orochimaru squinted his eyes and continued slowly: "Did you prepare the method to undo the Dead Demon Consuming Seal before the old man even used it, anticipating that he would use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal against me during our battle?"
"Is this..."
Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato still looked surprised at Akihara Kagura and curiously asked: "Are you a newcomer to the village? Why haven't I seen you? Did you break the Dead Demon Consuming Seal?"
"He also used the Reanimation Jutsu on you!"
Orochimaru chuckled lightly, a mocking smile on his lips: "Because I feared I would use the Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect you, he seized the initiative to resurrect the previous Hokages under his control, making Akihara Kagura the strongest force in Konoha now..."
"Let me explain..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Orochimaru.
This old man understood Orochimaru's intentions well and didn't want to see him incite conflict between the former Hokages and Akihara Kagura, opting to offer explanations of prior events himself.
"I'll handle this."
Akihara Kagura looked at the four Hokages present and continued: "Every action in the Chunin Exams was secretly planned by me, using Orochimaru and Danzo to initiate the operation, all for this moment when I can capture the four previous Hokages and use them as pieces to manipulate Konoha's future power dynamics..."
"…"
Orochimaru's expression was rather intriguing.
He had intended to provoke conflict between Akihara Kagura and the four Hokages with words, yet compared to Akihara Kagura's own words, his attempt seemed overly mild...
This kid...
Actually dared to speak of manipulating Konoha's power so boldly!
"Kid! The Hokage bears more than just power..."
First Hokage Senju Hashirama clearly voiced his stance, but then swiftly responded: "Wait, if everything was planned by you, then isn't..."
"You little devil! How dare you harbor such rebellious ideas!"
Second Hokage Senju Tobirama interrupted his brother, but continued rationally: "So you want to use our reputations to manipulate Konoha's power because someone in the village doesn't obey your command and won't accept you as Hokage, right?"
"Kagura."
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the situation as having hit rock bottom but felt the tide of circumstances was gradually rebounding: "Did you finally realize that power alone doesn't earn respect? Only someone recognized by everyone can become Hokage; you need to change..."
"Well..."
Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit at a loss of what had happened: "Can someone explain what exactly is going on?"
