Storm Clouds Gathering, Dan Katō and Nawaki's Conversation

Sarutobi Clan!

Two figures in brimmed hats stood guard on the outskirts. They were Nawaki Senju and Dan Katō, who had only been summoned through Impure World Reincarnation today!

After the two left the Utatane Clan, they had been sent here to guard the Sarutobi Clan!

In truth,

Dan Katō and Nawaki Senju were tools Sarutobi Hiruzen used to keep Tsunade in check. Moreover, Dan Katō's Spirit Transformation Technique was unique. If the clan came under attack, he could swiftly notify Hiruzen through it!

As for their strength, they could only be considered to possess the level of jonin.

The two remained silent for a long while before Dan Katō finally spoke. "Nawaki, I never expected you to have died too. Tsunade must have been heartbroken!"

As he spoke, Dan Katō felt somewhat sentimental, even helpless. Dan Katō had died in the Second Shinobi World War, while Nawaki had died in the Third Shinobi World War!

He knew Tsunade's vulnerability, especially her dependence on family. He had died, and Nawaki had died as well. What exactly had Tsunade gone through!

How had someone as proud at heart as her lived through all these years? It must have been painful.

"It couldn't be helped. I gave my life for Konoha. My sister will surely understand!" As he spoke, emotions seemed to ripple through his dull eyes. He lowered his head and fell silent.

Though he said that, thinking of his sister still left Nawaki somewhat helpless!

The two of them

fell into a brief silence.

Sitting there in boredom, Nawaki Senju looked at Dan Katō and could not help asking, "Brother Dan, do you think Sarutobi Hiruzen really revived us for the village, just as he said?"

Something felt wrong to him. Was Sarutobi Hiruzen truly doing this for Konoha, or
