Seven shinobi whirled through the trees at dizzying speeds as they felt numerous chakra signals chasing them. The lead shinobi in blue armor, disappeared ahead and quickly set up a few traps and made a few hundred yards radius around his team and the enemy shinobi, and placed a seal on the ground before reappearing in front of his team. Yelling out "Hirashin!", the white haired shinobi transported him and his team into the radius that was surrounded with traps. "Sensei...a warning will suffice next time." muttered a young Sarutobi Hiruzen. Tobirama grinned at his student. Beckoning all of them to sit down, he explained the situation. " We are getting chased by the infamous Kinkaku squad of more than twenty anbu. The odds of all of us surviving are low. Thus, we need a distraction...who will be the decoy?" All pairs of eyes immediately flickered to the ground, thoughts whirling through their heads as to who should be the decoy. With a trembling hand, Hiruzen raised his hand, and after a few seconds said " I will", shocking everyone in the group and a certain Shimura Danzo. Meanwhile, the Nidaime gave a mental smirk, happy that his favorite student lived up to his expectations once more, before saying, " No need Hiruzen. I will be the decoy, the rest of you get ready to run as soon as I go out there." Wails of protest immediately rose as a young Koharu said, "But sensei, you are the hokage! It can't be you!" To which Tobirama responded, "Exactly why it should be me, the Kinkaku squad will look to take me out as I am their true goal. They will be so intent on killing me, they won't even bother about you guys. But with me gone, there will need to be a new hokage...a choice my dear brother would approve of...Hiruzen, you are the next hokage!" Saying this, effectively shocked all the team members into silence. Beckoning the young Sarutobi, Tobirama took him a fair distance before saying," I know you are shocked about the appointment, but out of everyone you are the only one I trust to save the village that my dear brother made. And before I go, I need you to promise me that you will take of something for me...". To which the newly appointed Sandaime said, "You already know that I will protect the village sensei!". "Yes, the village, but something even more...my legacy!". "What is it sensei?". At this a blast of thunder echoed in the sky making the man smile. "Jiraiya Uzumaki Senju, the thunder that will lead Konoha to greatness!"
