In the Land of Mountains, the Hokage was running in the direction of Land of Fire, along with his bodyguards.
The First Great Ninja War has just ended.
After the unusual and unknown death of Hashirama, the First Great Ninja War erupted, engulfing the entire ninja world.
First and Second Kazekage, First and Second Tsuchikage, First and Second Mizukage, and First Raikage, all perished in the war that lasted for more than 4 years.
Konoha undoubtedly retained it's position as the strongest ninja village, even with 3 ninja villages attacking it at the same time, not loosing even 1 mm² of Land of Fire's fertile land.
Iwagakure, with the fear of Madara Uchiha engraved in Mu and his student Onoki's heart, chose to ally itself with Konoha in this war. Afterall, Izuna Uchiha was said to be an almost equal to Madara, who died at the hands of Tobirama Senju. So they didn't risk it.
That's why people say that information is very crucial in the Shinobi World.
Suna, Kiri, and Kumo attacked Konoha, and even Iwa.
Suna was swiftly defeated, Second Kazekage trapped in a genjutsu by Tobirama and assassinate in his sleep after Tobirama had planted a Flying Thunder God mark on him during the battle.
Kiri was defeated by First Mizukage getting killed by Tobirama, and Second Tsuchikage and Second Mizukage killing each other. The other bodyguard to First Mizukage, who was likely going to be the Third Mizukage, was killed by the student of Tobirama, Akame Uchiha.
And Kumo was the village which suffered the most.
As the village hidden in clouds, the effects of Kirin was too much. More than half of the village was instantly vapourised, First Raikage killed, and the entire Land of Lightning faces devastation due to cloud bursts, leading to immense floods in a very short amount of time.
The whole world realised why Akame Uchiha is the daughter of Izuna Uchiha. And niece of Madara Uchiha.
The Second Raikage somehow survived, and had no choice but to surrender.
Today, there was going to be a peace treaty signing in the Land of Mountains, bordering the Land of Lightning.
But suddenly, the famous Kinkaku and Ginkaku force which made Kumo the second strongest ninja village killed the Raikage, and started chasing Hokage Tobirama and his team.
20 S rank ninjas, along with hundreds of Kumo ninjas rushing behind them.
It is likely that Kinkaku and Ginkaku have falsely spread the news that the Hokage, Tobirama killed Raikage.
"Let's rest here for a bit."
Tobirama said, and his students stopped.
He put his hand on the ground, and frowned.
"We need a bait-"
As Tobirama said, Akame said without hesitation.
"Sensei, let me be the bait. Kumo hates me the most, so I will be the perfect bait. I think I can unleash-"
Tobirama looked at Akame proudly.
She is the daughter of Izuna and Akane Uchiha. Even though Tobirama killed Izuna, Akane's father, her mother only cursed at Izuna and Madara for not agreeing to the peace.
And Akane did not allow Madara to take both of Izuna's eyes. She kept one herself.
And, she didn't hold it against Tobirama. Just asked him to take her daughter as his student, and Hashirama to give her the Slug summoning.
And her daughter has also grown up now to be a capable Shinobi.
She infiltrated the most troublesome village, and decimated the whole Land of Lightning, which killed the First Raikage and greatly injured the Second.
Yet, her heart was heavy because of causing so much devastation. Unlike Madara, who wouldn't have cared in the slightest.
She is a person who wants peace. Even though her favourite is Lightning Style, and calls Fire Style trash, the Will of Fire is the strongest in her heart.
The Kirin is probably her Mangekyo Sharingan ability. And Tobirama knows that using Mangekyo Sharingan causes blindness.
A Hokage can't be blind.
"I will be the bait."
Tobirama said firmly.
"But sensei, we are supposed to be your bodyguards!"
"Heh. You are too young to be my bodyguards. The one you should protect is not me, but the village.
There are 20 ninjas chasing us-"
A lie. The whole Kumo, or what remains of it, is chasing them.
"So, I will hold them off. Don't worry, I can deal with them.
But if I don't return by the time you enter Konoha, tell everyone my order.
Akame, you will be the Third Hokage."
"Sensei, why shouldn't we both hold off-"
"Akame. Don't falter from your duty as the Third Hokage. A Hokage's duty is to protect the village, not relics of past."
Tobirama gave one last smile, for someone who hasn't smiled in his life for as long as he can remember, and ran towards the opposite direction.
Everyone was downcast. Danzo was a angry.
While he and Hiruzen are rivals, and very strong, they can't compare to Akame Uchiha. Afterall, Sarutobi and Shimura clans are just normal clans with some Fire and Wind style techniques respectively, with slightly bigger than normal reserves. And their summons can't compete with the Slug Sage.
The Third Hokage's seat has gone to an Uchiha. The clan that Tobirama hated the most.
"Sensei will teleport back to the village. We should go."
Akame said, and the whole platoon followed her lead towards Konoha.
Akame's Sharingan spun and the three tomoes joined together, evolving, and giving birth to a new Mangekyo Sharingan. But before blood could come out of her eyes, she deactivated her Sharingan, and activated it at the three-tomoe level.
Akame has become the Third Hokage.
Just like her mother wanted.
