Chapter 1: Konoha's Aftermath

4 years after the last battle occurred at the hidden village of Konoha, many tragic events happened; the sudden departure of the 5th Hokage, Tsunade, who died of a mysterious death; departure of the Uchiha brothers, Itachi and Yagami whom they battled each other for the fate of Konoha. But there were also happy moments, like when the entire academy Genins re-took their Chuunin exams and finally graduated to become Chuunins and some even Jounins. The one thing that Konoha was lacking was the re-electing of a new Hokage. Till today, the village is still lifeless without a suitable one.

Konoha was safe again. But the one Chuunin who was affected the most was Sasuke. Being the only surviving member of the Uchiha clan after his brothers Uchiha Yagami and Itachi fought against each other and departed the mortal world was not what he wanted 4 years ago. He finally understood how Naruto felt as a kid, all alone and ignored by everyone. As he walked out of the clan's house, he caught sight of a shadow. Was it an intruder or a fellow Shinobi? Sasuke ran to the front gates to see who was it and upon realizing whom it was he completely froze in his spot, the muscles in his legs refusing to take another. It was a man, dawned in the Uchiha imperial suit, similar to the one his eldest brother, Yagami wore.

The man than greeted Sasuke, "Hey little brother, did you miss me these 4 years?" Sasuke could not believe it; standing right in front of him was his eldest brother, Uchiha Yagami, who was pronounced dead 4 years ago. Was Sasuke seeing things, or was his brother really alive?

"Brother? You look like you've seen a ghost. It's me, your brother Yagami." Inspecting just to be sure, he felt Yagami's hand and to his astonishment it was real! Too elated to see another surviving Uchiha, Sasuke quickly brought his brother back to the academy, only to be greeted with the pale-whitish faces of Chuunins and Jounins, all standing rooted to the ground and trembling with fear. Kakashi, who past by was also stunned to see his former partner returning from the dead. 4 years ago Yagami was the sole person whom saved the many fragile lives of Konoha by sacrificing his to eliminate the threat and now he's standing right in the academy like he was rejuvenated! Finding a place to sit, Yagami began to explain to the others how he survived.
