His flowing Ceremonial Robe came fully into view.
On the pristine white fabric,
five striking red characters were written:
"Fourth Hokage"!
"It really is the Fourth Hokage!"
"But he attacked Lord Cangyue!"
"Did those people from Sunagakure bring him back too...?"
The Allied Forces broke into anxious discussion.
They had seen Minato Namikaze attack Aogetsu Hyuga with their own eyes.
That meant
Minato Namikaze was probably an enemy reinforcement!
At the thought,
their morale sank,
but when they looked toward Aogetsu Hyuga,
their spirits rose again.
So what if he was the Fourth Hokage?
Could he really be stronger than Lord Cangyue?
Just as everyone rallied,
several ninja with sharp senses
stared into the distance in shock.
"S-such powerful Chakra!!"
"Another enemy attack?!"
Before anyone could react,
several figures
landed on the battlefield.
Red, blue, and black—
three different colors of armor
drew the eyes of many ninja.
Almost every Konoha Ninja who got a clear look wore an expression of horror and despair.
"I-it's the Third Hokage!"
"Are those the First and Second Hokage?!"
"They look exactly like the photographs in the Hokage's office!"
"We're finished... Are all the former Hokage our enemies...?"
"Are we really going to lose this war...?"
The Konoha Ninja were utterly distraught,
while ninja from the other villages
looked
rather puzzled.
Darui asked with a baffled expression,
"So what if they're Hokage?"
"Haven't we sealed almost all the Kage from the other villages? What difference will a few more make?"
Ninja from the other villages voiced their agreement,
thinking the Konoha Ninja were making too much of it.
Battle marks covered Kakashi as he said grimly,
"It's different. Konoha's Hokage aren't like the Kage of other villages..."
At that,
the ninja from the other villages bristled.
"Hey, Konoha! What's that supposed to mean?
