"Tell me where the Hyuga Clan grounds are, and where it's current head is expected to be." you demanded, glaring at Orochimaru.
"Such an odd request. Is your vessel dredging up feelings?" Orochimaru responded with a smirk you could even see under his mask.
"Answer me!" you shot back, clenching your hands.
"If my memory serves, they live in the northeastern part of the village. Though be careful, the Hyuga aren't a clan to underestimate." Orochimaru finally answered. "Although I suppose you could tell from the fight we just witnessed."
You refused to answer. During the match with Neji, you felt an odd sense of nostalgia, certainly not from your end, but from Hinata's. Perhaps if you did as Hinata asked, her annoying emotions would stop infecting you. The room went silent, as nobody had anything else to say. Eventually the two Hokage and their bodyguards returned to the skybox, apologizing for their absence as the announcer returned to the middle of the arena, it was then you saw feathers starting to fall from the sky.
"What is this...?" Minato asked, confused.
"It's the start..." Orochimaru chuckled as the people in the stands began to fall asleep. "Of our operation!"
Fumi and Kobura rapidly pulled out two smoke bombs and threw them onto the ground. Finally, it was time! Ignoring the Kage, you rushed forward and burst out of the skybox and landed on the seatings just below, rapidly escaping the arena and running into the village. A devilish grin on your face, your revenge was starting!
---
It didn't take long for everyone within the skybox to escape, landing on a nearby rooftop. Leaf shinobi converged onto the scene, keeping still as the smoke cleared away, revealing Hiruzen being held at knifepoint with a kunai aimed right at his neck...and behind Orochimaru, was Minato with his unique kunai set right next to Orochimaru's throat. Kobura was currently in a test of strength with Guy, keeping him from going any further, while Fumi was backing away from Asuma's bladed knuckle dusters before they both vanished from the area to continue their fight.
"Lord Nozuchi, what are you doing?" Minato icily asked, his eyes narrowed and focused.
"Oh my. Your speed truly lives up to its reputation, doesn't it, Minato? No wonder this old fool picked you over me." Orochimaru calmly said, uncaring about the kunai at his throat.
"Orochimaru!" Hiruzen exclaimed, both in shock and fury.
"Guess I can finally take off this mask..." Orochimaru muttered, using his free hand to grab his face and rip off the disguise, revealing his real form.
"After all these years, you've come back to destroy the village you once called home? You monster!" Minato furiously said, pressing the blade firmly against Orochimaru's neck. "But I suppose this is a good opportunity to end your evil!"
"Oh Minato, you won't have the chance! Besides, my focus is purely on the old man here." Orochimaru said with a confident smirk.
"What does that mean, snake?!" Minato asked, but his question was soon answered as a massive tree suddenly erupted from the ground, causing massive vibrations and destruction as it carelessly demolished any building it bulldozed through. Once it reached a proper height, three people were seen standing on the highest point. The first was a man with tanned skin and long black hair, wearing old red colored armor. The second was a pale skinned man with red eyes and stark white hair, wearing similar armor, but blue in color. Finally, contrasting from both of them, was a beautiful and busty woman with raven colored hair tied into spiky ponytail and her lips covered in ruby red lipstick. The one thing they all shared with each other was that their skin seemed to be covered in a coat of ash, cracks spider webbing all over their skin.
"Orochimaru, you didn't!" Hiruzen gasped.
"Oh I did, Sarutobi-sensei. I thought it was unfair for me to fight two Hokage at once, so I figured to even up the score!" Orochimaru ominously said, his face twisting into a disturbing grin. "The first and second Hokage, Hashirama and Tobirama Senju!"
"Who's that woman?!" Minato growled.
"You'll find out soon, dear Minato. Now be a good boy and go play with the friends I brought. Sarutobi-sensei and I have a debt to settle." Orochimaru coldly said, his killing intent spilling out.
"Minato, Orochimaru brought those three back from the dead to attack the Leaf. You have to defend the village! I will take care of my student like I should have done years ago!" Hiruzen ordered. Minato looked unwilling, but eventually nodded and vanished into thin air. Orochimaru chuckled as he backed away from Hiruzen, standing on opposite ends of the roof. Orochimaru whistled and suddenly the Sound Four came out of hiding, each of them on one corner of the roof as they made hand seals.
Suddenly a massive barrier made of purple energy surrounded Hiruzen and Orochimaru, the Sound Four was quick to throw up barriers around themselves to protect themselves from the battle that was about to ensue. It was then Kobura managed to break away from Guy and took his place in front of the barrier, staring down a squad of Anbu. Guy was quick to stand across from Kobura and asked, "What are you doing?!"
"My job is to make sure none of you little Leaf punks will break the barrier, know what I mean? I won't harm a hair on your heads if you fuck off." Kobura explained, a sinister grin on his face. He then made hand seals and hundreds of bright, burning motes of lights hovered above his head. "But if you wanna die, then I'll light you all up!"
---
Minato landed on one of the large branches of the massive tree Hashirama had summoned, standing across from the three undead shinobi. Hashirama looked around, his face showing remorse. "The Leaf looks beautiful...and I'm being forced to destroy it."
"I didn't expect anyone to learn Edo Tensei after I died. Tch..." Tobirama grunted in annoyance.
"On my end, it feels great to be back!" the woman roughly said, rolling her head around, the bones in her neck loudly cracking. "It was boring as hell in the afterlife!"
"...Ibuki Uchiha!" Minato declared, finally recognizing the woman.
"Oh, finally figured out who I am, you dumbass?" Ibuki sneered. "We were only in the same generation of genin. But I guess becoming Hokage made you forget the little people, eh?"
"An Uchiha...?" Tobirama growled, looking at Ibuki.
"Yeah, what are you gonna do about it you albino bitch?" Ibuki crudely said, giving a smug grin to the second Hokage.
"You watch your mouth, you red-eyed rat!" Tobirama cursed, attempting to attack Ibuki, but his body seized up and was unable to move!
"Sorry, you may have been the leader of this village before, but right now I'm the one in control!" Ibuki declared, activating her Sharingan.
"Forgive me, Hashirama and Tobirama. I only have respect for what you have done for the village, but I must defeat you, for I am Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage!" Minato declared, cutting through Ibuki and Tobirama's argument.
"I understand, Minato. Good luck!" Hashirama sincerely said, giving Minato a large smile. Unwillingly, the two undead Hokage got prepared for battle while Ibuki cracked her knuckles, excited for a fight!

As you ran through the village, you tore off your bothersome disguise, your mind racing of what to do first! You could start burning down buildings, you could slaughter the Leaf Shinobi, you could even follow through with Hinata's request! As you tried to think, you were suddenly stopped by a shinobi standing in front of you. It was Gekki, the man who led you to the arena earlier.
"Y-You! You're the fox!" He sputtered. "I thought you said you'd leave the Leaf!"
"...What?" you replied, genuinely confused.
"After I helped you escape from the prison! Why did you come back!" Gekkei desperately asked, tears starting to run down his face as he realized the consequences of his actions.
"Oh...it's you. Yes, the foolish man who genuinely thought I had been redeemed." you darkly said, remembering your flight from the Leaf. "I honestly couldn't believe how stupid you were."
"You are just a beast! I'll make sure you're locked up!" Gekki bravely declared, although from how he was trembling and crying, he was utterly terrified.
What will you do?
[] Tell Gekki that you will give him one chance to flee. He did free you after all, with this any debt, as negligible as it is, would be paid.
[] Strike at Gekki before he can do anything! If he means to fight you, then you will show no mercy!
[] Cripple Gekki so he is forced to watch the destruction of his beloved village!
[] Set Gekki ablaze and revel in his dying moments!
