The Blood Clone leader of Squad 2 slowly closed the eyes of the Blood Clone leader of Squad 3, as his comrade breathed his last before succumbing to the large wound in his chest, courtesy of a Root Anbu's sword.

He silently watched as another 17 shadow clones got destroyed, either due to exhaustion of their chakra or due to their wounds.

Their team had arrived to defend Konoha, and now there were just 15 of them left while the Root Anbu were twice in numbers than them.

He was surprised when a tall man dressed in blue armor with the mark of the Senju clan jumped in front of him, and an immense amount of power was radiating from this person.

After all he was the Nidaime Hokage of Konoha...

The veteran Kage just gave a small glance towards the tired clone squad, while also observing the 50 Root Anbu that lay dead at the gates of Konoha.

"Clones, you've done well...I'll take it from here. Don't interfere" commanded Tobirama, as the Blood Clone leader bowed before the Kage.

"As...you...command" answered the Blood Clone in a devoted voice,

Tobirama's eyes hardened as his gaze shifted towards the remaining root forces, and a lone old man that was standing a little far away from the enemy forces.

The Kage remained unfazed when the remaining 40 Root Anbu charged towards him with their deadly swords...ready to slice him to pieces.

He just made a single hand seal as dark clouds spread across the entire sky instantly hiding the bright sun behind them, as rain slowly started to fall on the ground.

The Blood Clone was mesmerized by the amount of control the Nidaime had over his element, and just eagerly observed as the man performed two hand seals.

Several Root Anbu fired couple of kunai towards Tobirama, while the rest of them jumped towards him...

"Suiton: Suidan no Jutsu(Water Release: Water Bullet Technique)"

"AHHHHHHHHHHH"

"KUSO!"

The Blood Clone was stunned when Tobirama decimated the entire enemy forces by raining hundreds of sharp water bullets over them, the force of these attacks was so hard that even the weapons fired towards Tobirama got destroyed.

All the Root Anbu got hit in various vital spots and started falling like flies as Tobirama just walked ahead uncaring of the few water bullets that were hitting him. His cold eyes only fixed on the one ninja standing away from him...

His opponent also walked towards him, the man was dressed in a black colored shinobi armor and pants. His shaggy black hair and wrinkled old skin combined with the scars on his face was enough to warrant the person as a veteran ninja.

Surprisingly, instead of attacking immediately he bowed before Tobirama...

"It's been a long time...Sensei" said Danzo respectfully, while his teacher just glared at him.

"Danzo, why?" asked Tobirama strictly, as his student looked him straight in the eye revealing the conviction which he had in his cause.

"It is my dream that Konoha shall rule over the entire world, in order to bring peace the true laws of shinobi must be implemented...and that is something which the current or the previous Hokage lacked. If they had not been too soft, Konoha wouldn't have had to go through the Fourth Great Ninja war..." explained Danzo honestly,

"So, you decided that you were the righteous one and rebelled against the village?" asked Tobirama bitterly,

"My loyalty has always been for Konoha. All my life I have fought, bled for this village. I've watched many of my friends die to protect it, but Hiruzen and Minato never cared about it. They let the other villages get away with the atrocities they performed on us, with the hope of creating peace. Something which they could never achieve..." answered Danzo truthfully,
