Chapter 1 : Rebirth
It was a rainy day in Konoha. The sound of thunder constantly rumbling was heard throught the village. Everyone in the village were advised not to wander outside as there were signs of a storm incoming.
Kenji and Akihiro, two iwagakure ninjas were on their way to the Cemetary, their mission being to obtain the physical remains of The Sandaime and The Nidaime.
"Why does our master need the remains of Those two?" asked Akihiro. "I honestly don't know. The only thing that matters is the fact that he has agreed to pay a hefty sum doesn't it?" replied Kenji.
Both of them arrived at a huge arc that said "Konoha Cemetery". "Damn! sure ain't a good day for grave digging is it?" joked Kenji. "Shut up. Let's finish the task and get outta here as soon as possible. This place is giving me the chills" replied Akihiro.
As they entered the Cemetary, They saw a array of graves all around them as they met a crossroad. "Wow this is gonna be a rough night" They both thought.
"Let's split up. it'll make it that much easier to find their graves." said Akihiro. "Whatever" replied Kenji as he went to the road on the left.
15 minutes laterKenji groaned in annoyance as he saw the bunch of graves present in front of him. But one grave stood out. Kenji headed to the grave. The headstone read "Here lies a Pariah. One who was destined to lead Konoha. One whose exploits gave him the name The Yellow Flash. One who defeated the Nine Tailed Fox. Here lies The Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato."
Reading the name alone almost brought Kenji to his knees as he was reminded of the Iwa-Konoha war where Iwagakure was brutally defeated by Konoha or in detail singlehandedly by the man who laid in the grave in front of him.
But what surprised him was that the grave had signs of it being recently dug up. Kenji thought " Must be someone who knew of Yondaime and his wealth."
Meanwhile in KonohaStrange signs were glowing in a faint golden color all over Konoha. Only the most veteran ninjas knew what it meant.Kakashi was reading his book as one of the symbols suddenly appeared beside him. "No, it can't be" thought Kakashi.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAkihiro was making his way through the Cemetary. The only primary source of light was the eventual lightning that passed by. He suddenly felt a presence in his general area, someone other than Kenji. "Who is that? Come out before I find and gut ya" Called out Akihiro. As another lightning passed by he saw a faint silhouette of a spiky haired man. As another lightning passed by he saw the figure getting closer to him. Before his mind faded into black, Akihiro saw two blue eyes staring at him with the silhouette being a few centimetres away from him.
Kenji on the other hand finally found the grave they came for. "Akihiro over here" he called but no response came. He decided to check out what was going on. Before he took another step, a tri pronged kunai was thrown in front of him. Kenji's heart skipped a beat as he saw the legendary weapon. He was fully aware on what the kunai's wielder could do if he knew how to use it. Akihiro was reminded of how he was one of the lucky few who survived Yondaime's assault on the Iwa invaders.
Before he could speak another word, he saw the spike haired man again. As another lightning passed by, he shouted in fear as he saw the man's face before his mind faded into black. The face of a man who was considered a god in the shinobi world. A man whose face spelt death for his enemies. He saw the face of a man who was the single most hated and feared figure in Iwagakure.
He saw the face of Namikaze Minato as he died.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXA/N
