The anger in Uchiha Fugaku's heart died down at Minato's startled cry.
With Minato's reminder, Fugaku now recognized Tobirama Senju.
Seeing a man who had long been dead standing before him, he felt not only shock, but profound wariness.
Still, the countless cracks covering Tobirama Senju's body gave Fugaku some idea of what had happened.
A technique that could bring the dead back to life had to be Orochimaru's work.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A torrent of shuriken flew from Tobirama Senju's
