"Wait, if the Second Hokage knew the Flying Thunder God Technique, why did he still die in the Land of Lightning?" Kushina Uzumaki asked Tsunade, her face full of confusion.
Tsunade had told her about the Flying Thunder God Technique before. By all rights, Tobirama Senju should have been one of the safest shinobi alive, even if he wasn't invincible.
Yet he had still died on a mission.
Kushina couldn't make sense of it.
Tsunade's expression grew complicated at Kushina's question. She turned to Uchiha Yi. "Yi, your father was there too. Did he ever tell you what happened?"
"A little. The Second Hokage took my father, the Third Hokage, and the others to Kumogakure to try to form an alliance against the other villages.
"But just as the talks began, Kinkaku and Ginkaku led their elite troops in a rebellion.
"We weren't the only ones caught off guard. The Second Raikage was taken by surprise too, and they killed him in the attack." As Uchiha Yi spoke of the brothers, he gave Tsunade a searching look.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku were supposedly descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, and they wielded the so-called Six Paths Tools.
Of course, Uchiha Yi suspected those tools were merely toys Hagoromo Otsutsuki had made before he grew powerful, or toys he had made for Asura and Indra.
The Six Paths Tools would have been useless to Hagoromo once he came into his power, but they could still be effective against weaker people.
Even a Kage-level fighter could fall victim to them if caught off guard.
What puzzled Yi was that, judging by the brothers' traits, they ought to be Asura's descendants. They had no Sage Eyes, but their bodies were remarkably strong.
Besides, Indra seemed to have left behind only the Uchiha Clan,
