In his view, rather than leaving these Konoha heroes to Orochimaru as tools for [Impure World Reincarnation]...
It was better to revive them ahead of time and let them keep contributing to Konoha!
Hashirama Senju and the other past Hokage were the first group Uchiha Minamoto had revived.
Kagami Uchiha and the other Uchiha Clan ninja were the second group Uchiha Minamoto had revived.
Next, Uchiha Minamoto also intended to revive some more Konoha ninja.
Hizashi Hyuga, the Hyuga Branch Family ninja who had once died in Hyuga Hiashi's place because of the conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure...
Happened to be on Uchiha Minamoto's next list of people to revive!
However, there was no need to explain the Fifth Hokage's plans fully to Neji Hyuga ahead of time.
As the saying went, plans failed when secrets leaked.
Giving Neji Hyuga a few hints was already as far as Uchiha Minamoto would go.
Besides.
Reviving Hizashi Hyuga was also a "surprise" Uchiha Minamoto had prepared for the Hyuga Clan.
Since it was a "surprise," why would he explain it in advance?
The selection of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki officially ended, and the vast crowd gradually dispersed.
Neji Hyuga followed the others toward the village, repeatedly looking back at the Fifth Hokage, who had stayed behind.
What exactly... did the Fifth Hokage mean...?
Quite a few Konoha ninja reacted much as Neji Hyuga had.
Sasuke Uchiha, for instance, also kept looking back.
But Uchiha Sasuke's attention was on Shino Aburame.
That damned bug boy! He actually became Big Brother Minamoto's student...
The many Konoha ninja had varied reactions, but those could be set aside for now.
Before long.
Only Uchiha Minamoto and Shino Aburame remained in the clearing deep in the mountains.
Uchiha Minamoto looked at his student and said with a smile.
