Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 42.
...
...
A thud of a body hitting the ground echoed silently, while the flames and other elements still sizzled behind Minato.
Minato kept his eyes fixed on Danzou's body for a few more seconds, in silence, while he remained on the ground, lifeless, with blood running from the first hole in his forehead to the larger hole behind it, destroying his brain.
This guy was a bundle of problems the village needed to get rid of once and for all, and now he was there, lifeless... or at least that's what it seemed.
"You know, Danzou..." he began, "...I wonder: how long are you going to keep hiding back there thinking you can catch me off guard?" Minato spoke calmly, still looking at the body that was starting to disappear. He could feel the look of shock as Danzou simply charged in a desperate attempt to catch him.
He had managed to complete the Izanagi technique, which could alter the user's reality by sacrificing an eye for 60 seconds. It was a lifesaver. Thus, Danzou launched his attack on Minato.
The kunai came straight for Minato's back while Minato seemed fully aware of what was happening around him, yet he didn't react to it and just stood still.
However, Danzou's eyes widened when he saw the tip of the dagger simply explode upon contact with the black mark Minato had placed on his back.
With a swift movement, Minato turned his body just to deliver a single strike—he simply slashed Danzou's neck with a quick motion of his sword, and blood sprayed everywhere. For the second time, Danzou fell dead.
Outside of the Root hideout, the village was quite agitated. The Hokage, upon receiving the report of strange movements, furrowed his brow upon learning that Minato had escaped and survived the attack, and was now in the village.
He quickly got ready, putting on his outfit and helmet, with two more teams at his side.
"I want to be informed of everything happening in the village and any movements from the clans. If we need to act, we'll have to go into battle," he said with regret, while believing the village's safety depended on these actions.
Hiruzen still had a furrowed brow with Minato appearing in the village tonight—he hadn't imagined the boy could have survived that attack. He thought in frustration, unaware that Minato had eliminated almost everyone.
Since Orochimaru had been with them in the ambush teams, Minato must have used his teleportation to escape, and they had no idea of the chaos Minato had created within the Land of Wind.
He simply waited in the building, while both the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan were ready to act in favor of the leaders. He hoped Danzou would soon join him so they could eliminate this threat together once and for all.
It looked like Konoha was in for a turbulent night.
At the same time, all the Anbu began receiving communications from the Hokage. While some delivered reports to Danzou in his hideout, moving toward him at that moment, others were already planning to act, with Danzou having already demanded the abduction of the jinchuuriki, advancing directly toward the Senju clan.
The Root Anbu had an easy time entering Senju territory, as they appeared directly in the houses, both Tsunade's and Kushina's.
"Get ready. On my signal," one Anbu said in front of Kushina's house.
But before they could advance, the door began to open, and the girl calmly stepped out, wearing her kunoichi outfit and even a jonin vest from Minato himself.
Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wore the Konoha forehead protector.
Kushina was perfectly dressed like a jonin of the village.
"So, you're here to kidnap me? I can't say I don't have unpleasant experiences like that," Kushina began angrily, remembering the time she was taken from the village by Kumo ninjas and nearly brought to the Land of Lightning.
If it weren't for Minato back then, she would have had a very different fate. But this time, she would act differently, staring at the men with a cold look.
And before anyone could say anything, suddenly, an explosive sound came from the other side, catching their attention.
Inside the house where Tsunade and her family lived, someone was thrown out, hitting the ground near the entrance and exploding shortly after. At the door, a fist appeared, quickly followed by a kick, and someone stepped out.
It was Tsuna, now showing herself with her face partially covered by some bands over her eyes, reminiscent of Hashirama's Sage Mode, but a little different. It wasn't as powerful, but still, it was Sage Mode.
What no one understood was that she seemed to be using some kind of special technique. At the same time, Nawaki and Hanabi also appeared at the entrance of the house, staring at the Root groups who were preparing to attack them.
"Do you have any idea what you're doing invading Senju property?" Nawaki stepped forward as he clenched his fist. His Mokuton-infused arm began to mold itself, getting used to it in preparation for the fight.
Groups quickly began to appear behind the enemies, both in front of Tsunade's house and Kushina's, filling the area in a matter of seconds.
"Attention! All Konoha shinobi, these are criminals attempting a coup in Konoha! They must be met with lethal force!"
The local Anbu themselves had given the orders. It wasn't just Root's team anymore, but everyone who had been mobilized there.
Several members of the Hyuuga clan also began to appear, moving in to assist the Hokage's shinobi.
At the same time, in the center of the village, the Uchiha clan was about to act. Mazu Uchiha was watching the group of soldiers, all ready to win that night, as he received a report from Minato informing him that it was time to get ready.
"Remember: at the signal, we advance," he said, while everyone felt, behind him, dozens of Sharingan activating, ready for battle.
Elsewhere, in the Hatake clan, its only member was preparing, already sensing several ninjas around the walls. As he began to walk toward the clan entrance
"Dad?" Suddenly, he heard a voice and stopped. His son was behind him, seeing him from the back with the sword over one shoulder, like Sakumo used to wear his clothes in the old days.
Sakumo looked with complicated feelings at the sword above his shoulder, while seeing Kakashi holding a kunai, almost getting into combat stance.
"The Hokage gave me a mission, dad. A mission to try to stop you before you did something stupid against the village," Kakashi murmured.
"Kakashi, we are not trying to overthrow the village... on the contrary, we want to return to our values, so the village is not destroyed by itself." Sakumo said with a serious and melancholic tone at the same time.
"What do you mean by that?!" Kakashi asked.
"The village is in serious trouble, son. It seems to be fleeing from its old values. Tonight we will be seeking them again. That's why I'm here to fight for them. I hope you don't mind, but your father intends to sacrifice himself once again on a mission, seeking the good of his comrades," he said, while Kakashi looked at him stunned.
At first, he wanted to step forward, face his father, and stop him from doing stupid things, from being acclaimed once again as the village's enemy.
However, he did not. He remembered the words of a certain blond boy who had spoken, unlike everything others said about his father.
His phrases kept echoing in Kakashi's head.
"I'm going, son. I wish you would stay home. I'm doing this because the Hokage is talking about your mission as protector of the village," he said seriously, and Kakashi stood there, paralyzed, watching his father simply disappear.
The moment he left the walls, several kunai quickly began to fly toward him and several Anbu ninjas emerged from the shadows.
Sakumo drew his swords and began to defend all the blows, while the ninjas disappeared. He dodged the first attack and hit the enemy with the sword's hilt on the head, knocking him down, while advancing against the others.
Kakashi stood there, paralyzed, watching all the movement outside. He couldn't take a step.
The Nara clan was also gathered in the courtyard, with Shikaku watching everyone. The Hokage had spoken with them, but Shikaku's father did not yield. Still, he prepared his troops, who began to position themselves to advance.
The same could be said of the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans, who were also gathered.
And also the Inuzuka clan, who did not yield to the Hokage's pressure.
The Aburame clan was in full gear.
Eight entire clans would still fight for Minato's convictions. Even the Uchiha clan was with Minato, tired of the injustice created by the village.
Meanwhile, in the Senju clan's underground, Minato's clone was still focused, in lotus position, eyes closed, with grandfather Hanabi, Mikoto, and Tsunade there. That place was still kept out of the war that was about to happen.
Then, the signal came with a huge explosion, right at the Senju clan.
While the whole village suddenly heard a deafening echo, everyone who was living their routine normally looked toward the explosion, wondering what was happening. Even the civilian ninjas were confused.
No one there had any idea that a series of events that had never happened in the village since its foundation would begin that night, with clans turning against the Hokage and their elders, trying to change a village decision, even if it resulted in another war.
Inside the Root hideout, a battle continued to happen.
Meanwhile, Minato took a few steps back, having fun. He grabbed some ninja stars with his hands, already spinning them between his fingers, while blowing, creating a cutting chakra around them. One in each hand, he threw them forward, while other stars with the same chakra shape advanced, colliding with each other.
Danzou was having a lot of difficulty fighting Minato, looking very worried at his eye, with the first finally closing. He only had the other in hand as a last resort, while Minato responded to each of his jutsus equally.
He was as skilled — or even more — with the wind element than Danzou, which was frustrating, since the latter prided himself on being one of the greatest wind chakra specialists in the world. But Minato proved to be even better.
Minato left Danzou for a moment and looked to the side, finally feeling the explosion at the Senju clan. He smiled.
"Well, it looks like it's started," he said.
All the clans finally began to move, as Sakumo had predicted. Quickly, the Uchiha, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Inuzuka, and Aburame ninjas left their clans, advancing through the village, while being confronted by Anbus who were there trying to contain them.
"I'm going to have to end this quickly," Minato thought. He looked at his opponent with murderous intentions.
Hiruzen frowned as he stood atop the Hokage tower, looking worried. He quickly began making hand seals, summoning his monkey, preparing with full strength for what was about to happen that night.
At the same time, in the Senju clan, several ninjas were startled to see a huge hole in front of Kushina's house, with more than a dozen ninjas defeated in an instant. Everyone looked surprised as the dust began to settle, and a girl with a golden aura began to appear, making everyone astonished.
"It can't be... that's the chakra of the Kyuubi!"
Those who had been there to protect Kushina for years and prevent the seal from breaking, so the chakra wouldn't leak, were shocked, while the girl seemed to have total control of the chakra.
"How did she develop that... and when?"
