Konoha.
Hokage's Office.
An Anbu was reporting to Minato.
"Lord Fourth Hokage, we recently seized a large amount of intelligence concerning the Fifth Hokage from the black market."
Minato picked up the information in his hands. All of it stated that Uchiha Senyo had reappeared.
He had even appeared on the frontline battlefield in the Land of Wind.
There were also numerous passages describing just how significant Uchiha Senyo's impact on the battlefield was.
