The search for Hatake Sakumo lasted three months, but not a single trace of him was found. This also put many countries on their guard against Konoha.

Hyuga Akira sat atop Hokage Rock, looking down at Konoha.
"You can see all of Konoha from here. Pretty nice, right?" Hyuga Akira said with a chuckle.

"It has to be Lord Hyuga Akira," Miroku said firmly.
"Ah." Hiruzen Sarutobi
