The Lion Of The Leaf (Return of the Mysterious Fourth Sanin)

Hero's of the Hidden Leaf both old & new

-Afterlife-

-Kakashi, Anko and Sakumo sit by the fire telling stories.-

Sakumo: Who would have thought that

both you and I would die so early?

But the fact that you died with woman you love speaks volumes.

I thank you for taking care of my son.

Anko: Oh it's my pleasure but I'd gladly die by his side,

even though he can be so aloof and nonchalant he has his moment.

He saved me from a dark time in my life.

Kakashi: We saved each other hebi hime.

Sakumo: If only your mother was here to see this.

Kakashi: Father, I've always wanted

to ask you something.

Why did someone like you, who was

known as the White Fang of the Leaf

choose to ignore the village code

and abandon a crucial mission

in order to save his comrades?

If you had not done so,

no one would have condemned you and 

you wouldn't have become so miserable.

I felt so bitter.

Sakumo: I see...

You took it pretty hard, didn't you?

Kakashi: Yeah.

But you know, Father...

Whatever the outcome,

I know you did your best.

I can see that now

and I understand you.

You broke the code to save everyone.

And I'm proud of you for it.

Sakumo: Thank you.

-Two green lights hit Kakashi & Anko as the rest of the souls return to there original bodies.-

Nin: What is that?!

-All across the villages souls are returning to there bodies.-

Rock Lee: What is that light?!

What's going on, Guy Sensei!

Sakura to herself: Those jounin were definitely dead!

And yet...

What just happened?!

-From under the rubble the now reanimated bodies of Leaf Nin rise up.-

Nin: I-Impossible!

How can such a thing occur?!

-A kunochi runs to her comrade happy that he is alive wrapping him in a hug as she cries tears of joy. At the same time Shizune returns to the land of the living surprising Shikamaru & co.-

Shikamaru: What's going on?

-Konohamaru helps his Ebisu Sensei walk as they spot a familiar face.-

Konohamaru: Iruka Sensei!

-Iruka turns towards then.-

Iruka: You're alive!
