"I want everyone in the village to acknowledge me and become a great Hokage!"

(As quoted by Kakashi) "Those who stray from the path of justice have no courage, but under the wing of a strong leader, cowardice cannot survive."

~Story~

The Wood Dragon which Hashirama made, moved and attacked the enemies in a blow. The enemies disappeared one by one. The other present Hokages just stared with a satisfied smile. They stood on a really big stone in that garden which was in a mess.

"Wha-what? What's happening?" the maid panicked.

"My Mokuryuu No Jutsu absorbs Chakra of anything it touches. And we realize that these aren't humans, but just a bunch of Chakra that doesn't have a mind, but just an instinct. So of course it disappeared when my Jutsu touched it" Hashirama explained while the Dragon touched the last enemies. Hashirama canceled his Jutsu, and jumped to the others who stood side by side in front of the maid.

"Now, who are you and what's your reason on attacking us?" Kakashi asked, losing his patience.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you anything about that. We swore to keep it a secret" the maid answered.

"Who exactly did you mean by 'we'?"

"I can't tell you that"

"Then you know what will happen to you" Kakashi said as the Hokages ran toward her simultaneously. But then, the maid was going to use a teleportation Jutsu to run away. Hashirama commanded to not letting her go, and of course they knew that, and no one there was going to do that, anyway.

They ran fast, but the distance was too far. Hashirama asked Tobirama if he could use his Hiraishin, but Tobirama said that he couldn't, because he hadn't put a seal on the maid. They tried their best, but it felt as if the distance was going further and further, no matter how hard they tried to move their feet.

"Khu khu khu… it was fun to be having a little fight with you all. But next time we meet…" the maid said, stopping a while to smile, as her body vanished little by little

"… Will be our last meeting" she finished with an evil laugh. Maybe she would be regretting not teleporting right away, because right before her entire body could teleported, a figure appeared and grabbed her, strongly. It immediately stopped her teleportation, making her surprised once more.

"Oh no, you wouldn't just go. I haven't even done anything here" the figure said with a childish smirk. It looked like he was taking the situation too lightly.

"Hiruzen!"

"Saru!"

"Sandaime-sama!"

The three called the brown haired boy together. The said boy winked

"Hi! Looks like I came here just in time huh?" he said. The others sighed in relief, but Hashirama took a step forward, facing the maid with a serious face.

"Now it's four against one. You can't possibly win. So to make it easy, please just answer our questions" Hashirama said, face turning with an expression full of pity. He knew just how hard people try to achieve their goals, so he tried to be understanding that time.

"… Then I will answer one of your questions" the maid finally said after a long silence.

"That's nice. Now, why did you do this?" Hiruzen asked, knowing the most important thing to be known there.

"No. Not that question.." the maid gave a strange Chakra. Hiruzen, being the one closest to her, got a goose-bump, and the others were taking their guards again. Only Hashirama seemed a little relaxed of the situation.

"…I will answer about the 'we' that I talked about" the maid finished, and a strong and dark Chakra formed around her. Hiruzen was forced to loosen his grip, and the maid jumped, taking a distance.

The Chakra around the maid was getting bigger and bigger. It was dark and cold. And some holes could be seen opened there

"Here we are" she said, as another 6 people appeared behind her. All of them wore the same type kimono, but with different colors. They also wore a mask with a different expression each person. The Hokages gulped. Problems really came one after another. They almost couldn't take it anymore.

"Damn. Don't asked about their Chakra" Tobirama said. Hashirama turned his head.

"What is it, Tobirama? Are you scared? Wow, I'm surprised" he teased.

Tobirama couldn't maintain his calm anymore, as he yelled to his older brother, about being serious or whatever.

"Can't they read the situation first?" Kakashi asked, annoyed

"No, they can't" Hiruzen deadpanned. Well, maybe that was how they were.

"I didn't expect you to call us this fast. I thought you could handle them yourself. Ahaha" the person who was likely a male, with a bloody red kimono and a gloomy mask, said.

"Sorry about that. But I also didn't think they would be able to withstand the drugs I gave them" the maid answered with a low voice.

"Oh well, whatever. We just have to kill them so Master will be happy, right?" this time another women with a leaf green kimono and a crying mask said with a giggle. Maybe she felt happy to fight. What was it again… psycho?

"But I still can't believe it. They are just children" a man with dark blue Kimono and bored mask said with a tone of worry. Then the girl in orange kimono and a laughing mask told him not to underestimate anyone, especially girl, who knew girls and children or even elders could be so scary when they were angry?

"It's still midnight… can't we just sleep and wait for tomorrow?" a man in grey kimono asked sleepily. He sounded a lot like Shikamaru. And he was the only one who said something that matched with his mask, an asleep mask.

"Wait your ass! Let's just torture them already!" a man in pitch black kimono and confused face said.

"Basically, it's the tomorrow that you talked about one hour ago, I mean yesterday"

"Right. Continue your speech"

"…!"

Right then, the Hokages just stared at the other group in silence.

"They really can NOT read the situation, can they?" Kakashi asked again.

"Sure they can't" Hiruzen deadpanned again.

"Oy, you monkey boy! How the hell did you able to withstand the drugs? We have heard the others' explanation, but you" the man in confused mask asked. Maybe he got the seventh sense to know Hiruzen's name, or was that just a coincidence?

"Ohh, about that. I recognized the smell of it. I'm not a dumb monkey, you know" he said, using a 'I-Want-A-Fight' tone. He sounded somehow glad to know they were going to fight to end this faster.

"There, there… I told you all to not underestimate them" said a woman in orange kimono with a sigh.

"What the hell did you say? You sick bastard!"

"I told you to Watch. Your. Tongue"

"…!"

And they had a fight among themselves.

"Now, I don't feel like fighting anymore" Kakashi said with a gloomy look.

"Neither do I" Hiruzen deadpanned, again. Hasirama just smiled weakly and Tobirama facepalmed.

Huftt... I have an exam at shool... so tired. Well, that's it for the 18th Chapter!
