Standing atop the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke gravely to his two old companions beside him, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, both clad in battle gear:
"The crimson-gold attack in the sky... I know that chakra well. It belongs to Yuzhen.
And that familiar blue giant warrior—surely neither of you has forgotten it, right?"
Hearing this, Mitokado Homura nodded in agreement. "We both saw that nearly three-hundred-meter Susanoo when we were children!
