(this idea came to me while reading another fan-fic, still don't know if i want to go through with it)
Impure World Resurrection!
3 coffins arose from the roof, with the numbers one, two and four, Sarutobi new this jutsu well, it was his sensei's creation.
"What are you planning? You can't be bringing back 'them'!" shouted Sarutobi
"oh but I am!" cackled Orochimaru, the 3 coffins were done ascending, they opened, revealing the corpses of three of the greatest shinobi to ever live. First, Hashirama Senju, a man that helped found Konoha and was even able to control tailed beasts with his wood release. Second, Tobirama Senju, the man who developed the Technique he was currently a victim of. Finally, the greatest shinobi ever produced in Konoha, Minato Namikaze, the famed Yellow Flash. The first, second and fourth hokage. The Senju brothers strolled out of their boxes and out to face sunlight for the first time in over 30 years. Their faces retaining the look of decay and dehydration.
"I never should have created this damned jutsu!" yelled Tobirama
"I never thought I would ever be a victim of your stupidity after I died, even in death you find a way to ruin my day" Hashirama half laughing, half pissed "Sarutobi, you've gotten old"
"quickly!" yelled Tobirama "seal us before it's 2 late!"
"what are you talking about gramps?" came a new voice "you know damn well that Sarutobi only knows one sealing jutsu, and that's mine"
"M-Minato! oh please god not you as well" yelled Sarutobi
"I'm afraid so my old friend, hurry and prepare my jutsu, that's the only way you can win this fight" said a somber Namikaze, just then Orochimaru appeared behind the Senju brothers and applied his slave seal, he moved to Minato to place his, but there was something different about him. He didn't have the same ashy completion as the other two. As Orochimaru went to place the seal in Minato, something happened, the seal didn't melt into his head as with the other 2.
"sorry Orochimaru, but my soul belongs to Shinigami, you have no power over me" stated a rather relieved Minato, the death god had let his soul go, but refused him to fight. He couldn't aid one side or the other, but because of the Impure World Resurrection, he was basically immortal.
"no matter, the other two are more than enough for me to end his life" stated a calm snake sannin, Minato looked over to his other Kage and giggled, he pointed and said "his life may end, but so will yours"
behind the 3rd Hokage, was a figure familiar to Minato, the death god itself, Shinigami.
out of Sarutobi's chest shot 2 shadow like arms that reached out and ripped the souls from the First and Second Hokage, Sarutobi was dying, and quickly. As he felt his soul being ripped out, he sent out two more shadow arms.
Minato could only sit and wait to have his soul once again ripped from his body, he saw the arm coming toward him and closed his eyes and waited.
"I don't have the power to end you, but I can take what is most important to you, your jutsu!" shouted Sarutobi, Minato opened his eyes to see the arm that was coming for him had not hit. Instead it had gone to Orochimaru, the two arms each ripped one of his souls arms away, leaving a rotting hunk of flesh on either side of his torso.
"remove the barrier! We need to retreat!" yelled an absolutely livid Orochimaru, him and his 4 ninja left. Leaving only Minato and the Shinigami
"What is it with you Konoha Ninjas and giving your lives for your people?" asked Shinigami, he sounded...impressed?
"it's the will of fire" stated Minato "from the ashes of death a new generation shall rise and protect the village"
the Shinigami sat silent for a minute, he had never thought a human could be so noble, let alone an entire village, gods were not supposed to pick favorites, but he just had "Tell me Namikaze, what will happen now? Their leader is dead, their village is in ruins, what will they do?" asked the Shinigami
Minato responded without missing a beat "they will find a new leader and rebuild from the ashes, just as they had done when i was taken from them", little did he know, this answered the Shinigami last question
The Shinigami smiled, not its usual 'your soul is mine smile but a true smile. It was quickly replaced by a smile of victory "I believe they already have a leader, and I'm sure he's exactly what they need"
"who might that be?" asked a surprised Minato, could he possibly mean Jiraiya?
"why you of course, I can't let the one truly noble village in this world fall to the winds of time. But you owe me for this, don't you dare forget that!" threatened the Shinigami, he then tossed a small glowing ball at Minato that seemed to illuminate him. the ball entered his body and Minato felt something he hadn't felt in 13 years, his heartbeat. By the time the glow retreated into Minato, the god of death had disappeared, leaving a sick and twisted laugh. Minato alone on the roof with the body of Sarutobi.
what just happened? thought a confused Minato, he heard a very familiar voice behind him
"Minato sensei! It can't be!" yelled the usually well spoken Kakashi, Minato spun around to see his old student approach him and place a shaking hand on his shoulder, Kakashi was about to cry "Minato sensei, you're alive!"
