"What?!" I exclaimed. "But...how?! Why?! What?!"
"I want my questions to be answered," Sasuke answered, going ahead of me to enter the shrine. I ran after him, going down into the shrine after him.
It was my first time in the Uchiha shrine and it was dark and ominous. Using his fire jutsu, Sasuke lit up some fires to provide us light. In front of us was a slab of stone with writing on it that I couldn't completely decipher. What I did recognize was the presence of the Uchiha crest surrounding us.
My mind was still a puzzled mess. Everyone else seemed to know what was going on except for me. Nobody bothered to provide me with more information. All I know is that we're reviving the Hokages...but that's crazy, right? I mean, how is that even possible? I mentally face-palmed myself as I came with an answer. That must've been the reason Sasuke revived Orochimaru. Obviously, Orochimaru would know what to do.
I took off my cloak as Orochimaru pulled out the mask and put it on his face. My eyes widened as behind Orochimaru appeared some being that I've never seen before. However, in the back of mind, I could recognize it from books. It was the Shikifujin. From what I've read, the caster can seal anything but in repayment, they sacrifice their life.
But, what Orochimaru was doing right here was the reverse. He wanted to undo the jutsu. The Shikifujin behind Orochimaru raised a blade and sliced itself from across the stomach. A large gash appeared across Orchimaru's stomach and five bright lights flew out of the Shikifujin's stomach.
There must've been some plan that was figured out before I arrived, because everyone was moving swiftly. Jugo went straight to Sasuke, putting his hand on him. From what I learned, Jugo had a cursed seal and I guess he was transferring it into Sasuke because soon six Zetsu clones came out of Sasuke.
"Hime-chan, Suigetsu, we only need four, so I can count on you two to dispose of the two left over." Orochimaru said.
Taking out my katana, I slashed at one of the Zetsus, killing it, while Suigetsu got the other one. It wasn't much of a hassle so I put my attention back onto what was going on upfront. There in front of me was some sort of drawing on the floor with four circles and a Zetsu in each one. Each Zetsu was tied up with Orochimaru's snakes to prevent them from escaping.
"Here they come." Orochimaru announced as each light went into a Zetsu. The Zetsus began to changed and morph into what they were supposed to be—the Hokages.
I moved up forward to stand next to Sasuke. His lips were drawn into a tight line and face stone-cold but I could see the wavering anticipation in his eyes. We were this much closer to learning the truth.
"I'll be right here," I said. "I have some questions of my own anyways. Might as well ask the Third about my parents, even thought I can't kill him like the Elders. Shame."
Sasuke glanced at me from the side, his mouth quirking upwards before he turned to pay attention up front. His shoulders relaxed.
My breath hitched as the transformation was complete. Standing right in front of me was the four previous Hokage. My eyes scanned the line from the Fourth, who resembled Naruto completely that I didn't even have to know he was his dad to figure it out; to the Third, who I frowned deeply at, not forgetting what he did to me; the Second and lastly, the First. Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju.
"That's the First Hokage..." Suigetsu muttered in disbelief. "That's the God of Shinobi...Hashirama..."
The Second was the first to move. "Tch, that Orochimaru brat again..."
