Waking Up (Part One)

Without even looking up, he saw that it was Hozuki Gengetsu, the Second Mizukage, sizing him up.

He immediately retorted, "Nonsense! I killed you!"

"No, I killed you!"

"No, I killed you!"

The two inexplicably began arguing just like that.

Nearby, the Third Raikage grew impatient and shouted, "Stop arguing, you two! Ask what's going on first!"

At that, the two immediately stopped arguing and asked in unison, "Who are you?"

"I'm the Third Raikage of Kumogakure!" the burly man said with his arms crossed.

He had seen records on the two in the village archives, so he recognized at a glance that the arguing pair were the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage.

Although he was facing two seniors, the pride of being the Raikage still left him completely unafraid.

"The Third Raikage?"

The two looked at each other, even more confused.

When they were alive, Kumogakure had only had the Second Raikage. They had never even heard of the Third Raikage.

At the same time, upon seeing the First Hokage awaken nearby, the Second Hokage froze for a moment.

He clearly remembered that his elder brother had already died.

At the thought of death, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be dead too.

While he was still dazed, the First Hokage laughed heartily. "Tobirama, where are we? We sure slept for a long time!"

"Eh? Why do I seem to hear the sounds of fighting? What happened?"

Hearing this, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, immediately darkened.

His elder brother was so thickheaded that he still had not realized he was dead, thinking he had merely woken up from a nap.

Before he could explain, Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly led people over and said excitedly, "Lord First Hokage, Lord Second Hokage, I finally get to see you again!"
