"Impossible. This wasn't how it was supposed to go..."
Faced with Tobirama and Tsunade's fury, the Third Hokage went ashen and muttered to himself.
He had clearly destroyed every last scrap of evidence. How could anyone still have uncovered these things?
Even Tsunade had failed to find any concrete evidence back then, so how had Shinichi managed it?
