"How did I get caught up in all this?" Emiko groaned, collapsing against the wall. "Do you have any idea why we're here?" she turned to Juugo. Currently, they were positioned at the Uchiha compound in the leaf. "Sasuke has had a change of plans, there's no doubt about it..." Juugo murmured.
"What's new..." Emiko rolled her eyes. "Listen Juugo, the only reason I'm here is to protect the Shinobi of the Leaf village. Half of me wants to believe Sasuke will do good by us. But if I have any reason to believe you guys will harm this village in any way, I won't hesitate to take immediate measures to stop you."
"I know that..." Juugo sent her a half-hearted smile. "I have a feeling things will go better than you expect they will"
Suddenly, a group of hooded figures came into view. Emiko got into a fighting stance, only to find that it was Sasuke and Suigetsu. But who was the other hooded figure? Once his face came into view, Emiko was frozen stiff.
"Hello Emiko" That voice belonged to the same man that ruined her life completely. Suddenly, her heart sped with rage. She leaped forward, punching him as hard as she could in the jaw. She refused to stop, as Sasuke attempted to restrain her.
"Stop!" he shouted. "He's a comrade!"
"A comrade?!" Emiko bellowed, pinning the Uchiha to the wall beside them. "I should end you right here!"
"So do it!" Sasuke shouted back, "What are you waiting for?" Emiko gave him a glare as cold as ice and released her grip on him. "Explain yourself" she demanded, "Right now!"
"-She's scary" Suigetsu whispered to Juugo, with a laugh.
"I believe in this case actions speak louder than words" Sasuke replied, "Why should I trust you?"
"You'll just have to" Emiko clenched her jaw, angry with the Uchiha. He was being too impulsive... Or had he already planned this all along? Either way, it was infuriating how he still felt the need to keep her in the dark about things.
Juugo helped Orochimaru to his feet and he walked forward, stopping in the center of the room. He did a few hand-signs and his body illuminated light blue. Emiko crossed her arms tightly, uneasy at the sight.
Out of thin air the ghost of the death god appeared and sliced Orochimaru open. His arms appeared back on his body good as new. Four separate blue flames appeared and Orochimaru yelled, "Get ready!"
"Right" Juugo set a hand on Sasuke's shoulder giving him his curse mark sage power, and white Zetsu's appeared from his body. "Damnit, how did you-!?" All the Zetsu's fell onto the ground. One of them demanding an answer.
"I know that you're Hashirama's cells" Orochimaru explained. "Six of you, huh? Tobi really wasn't taking any chances, was he? When I reclaimed and absorbed my Chakara from Kabuto, his intel was transferred into me as well. He thoroughly investigated the six of you that was attached to Sasuke."
And then, Emiko's eyes widened as she figured it out. They're reanimating the first Hokage?!
"Reanimation Jutsu!" Orochimaru shouted, slamming his palm on the floor. From the four Zetsu, grew all four deceased Hokage. Not one but four. Emiko's jaw dropped, "What the...?"
"That's the real first Hokage?" Suigetsu questioned. Emiko stayed back studying the four. One looked stinkingly similar to Naruto...Maybe they were relatives?
"Don't tell me it's you Orochimaru!" The white-haired Hokage spoke angrily. "What do you mean?" Hashirama asked him.
"I suspect he undid the reaper seal that has been keeping us sealed away" Hiruzen assessed. "No way, you found out how to undo that sealing jutsu?" The fourth Hokage asked Orochimaru, "How?"
