Kakashi's P.O.V.

So I was now inside a dark room. One moment before, I was still out there, on the battlefield, together with millions of other shinobi, fighting, side by side. I could still hear their screams, the cutting sound of thousands of kunai and shuriken racing past my ears, the sensation of exploding bombs nearby, the adrenalin rushing through my veins. All of this was still there, in the depths of my mind, though now, merely a blink of an eye later, I found myself standing in the middle of a cold and empty room, staring right into two devilish gleaming snake-like eyes. So Orochimaru was behind all of this. I was ready to draw a kunai out of my weapon pouch, but suddenly I felt like I couldn't move. The snake just sneered at this and turned around to walk in the other direction. In the same moment, the stiff feeling left my body and I was able to move again. From the corner of my eyes, I saw a familiar tone of orange and I didn't need to turn around, to see whom it belonged to exactly

"S-Sasuke…?! What are you doing here?!"

"The question is, what are you doing here, dope?", the other one replied dully. Despite his almost bored sounding voice, he had a murderous gleam in his eyes, that reminded me all too much of the past few years.

"Now now, my dear Sasuke… We don't want to be rude to our special guests, do we? For I have summoned them here for a specific reason…", said the snake, grinning widely.
There was running a shiver down my spine. What could he possibly want from Naruto and me?

"What do you mean by that?!"
Both, Naruto and me jumped at that sudden voice. In the corner of the room, right behind us, stood an irritated Sakura, fists clenching. I didn't even sense her standing there. They sure have grown a lot, all of them…

"What he means by that is very simple.", explained Orochimaru's novice, Yakushi Kabuto, as if nothing had happened. "Orochimaru-sama is not quite content with the whole situation right now; actually, I'd say it's even quite the opposite. To sum it up – in his eyes, that Madara, who is fighting against the Allied Shinobi Forces in this moment, does represent a problem, a big problem, to be precise, and if we don't stop him, it might be too late – forever. Now, to stop him, Orochimaru-sama wants to use the Edo tensei to summon what may be the four strongest remaining shinobi on our side, but for them to truly follow our orders, it might take a little convincing…"

Orochimaru chuckled lightly. "Very well done, Kabuto. It is true that I want to summon what I personally regard as the four strongest remaining shinobi, with the help of which we might be able to defeat Uchiha Madara. Well… these four shinobi I am talking about are the four hokage."

There was a moment of silence. But suddenly, Naruto was yelling at Orochimaru. "You bloody bastard! Haven't you already caused enough damage with your Edo tensei?! You even killed the third hokage – your own sensei – with the help of that stupid jutsu!"

"As always, you're not getting the point, idiot!", Sasuke replied angrily. "Since his last attack of the leaf village, Orochimaru continuously worked on this jutsu. It has much improved since and he is now able to almost fully control the mind of the person he summons without 'killing' them."

"But even if that's true…", Sakura interjected thoughtfully, "How would you be able to control the four hokage, which are, as you yourself said, the four strongest remaining shinobi, in case they refuse to follow and if there is still a risk of 'killing' them?"

Orochimaru just smirked at this. "Well, I also said before, that there would be a little convincing to do and that, my dear, is the reason why I summoned you." He chuckled again, only deeper. "I – or should I say we? – are going to start by summoning the second hokage, Senju Tobirama. He, as far as I believe, will be the hardest one to convince, but only he, on the other side, might be able to convince the rest of the hokage. It won't be easy though. Tobirama will hardly listen to strangers, the only one he might listen to would be a friend – or a family member…"

"But – t-this is ridiculous! The second hokage is all but known for having had friends and even if he had some, they would be dead for quite some time now! His brother, the first hokage, is dead too and it's of common knowledge that he has no descendants! Lady Tsunade is the only one who is somehow related to him, but right now, she's on the battlefield fighting Madara!"

There was a moment of silence until Orochimaru suddenly burst out laughing, which send shivers down our spine. When he had calmed down again, he spoke: "Well… I must say that you summoned it up perfectly, but still; there is also one thing that you did not think about, though I cannot blame you for that… I myself just recently discovered it in one of the forbidden scrolls of the second hokage, and I have to say, it was quite a surprise… It seems that there is very well one family member who survived… A family member which had me fooled for a long time now… A family member which is with us today, in this room, in this moment…"
And suddenly, he looked me straight into the eye. I could hear my heart beating faster and the blood rushing in my ears. My throat felt too dry and I had to swallow hard to regain some composure. He couldn't probably know, could he?!
