(Average Words/Chapter 950)

Konoha.

"Hey Kakashi, do you know what happened?"

The dark clouds covered the whole Konoha.

Obito along with Kakashi, Guy, Itachi, and Shisui walked towards the Hokage since they were just notified by the Anbu to report to Hokage.

"How would I know, I'm as clueless as you?"

Kakashi with the usual dead expression on his walked forward with others walking a little behind him.

"What's happening to me?"

Kakashi doesn't know why but the more he is reaching closer to Hokage Building the more is his heart beating faster.

Shisui and Itachi behind also seemed to have the same sensation as no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure out what was the reason behind this bad feeling.

Soon, they arrived outside the Hokage building but saw a lot of Anbu and other Ninja gathered outside.

"What happened"

Looking at the gathering, Obito couldn't help but ask curiously and wanted to go and see.

"Let's go, Sensei is waiting"

Kakashi stopped Obito and took him together with everyone else, forcefully to the Hokage Office.

Soon they arrived outside the door of the Hokage Office.

As Kakashi was about to knock on the door, he heard some sobbing sounds from inside.

Quickly opening the door, all of them looked inside and saw Minato, Kushina, Sakumo, Tsunade, and the long seen Kurenai and Shizune standing together forming a circle.

But all of them had sad expressions on their faces.

"What's the matt__"

Arriving near them, Kakashi wanted to ask the reason but his words were stuck in his mouth as his gaze fell on the corpses in the middle.

Obito and others also seemed to be struck by lightning as they stood motionless looking at the body below.

"Sensei"

Both Shisui and Itachi looked at the corpse of Kozuki and suddenly felt a huge pain in their hearts.

Unknown to them, their eyes suddenly turned red as some changes took place in them.

Kakashi kept looking at the corpse of Kozuki his whole mind seemed to be blank.

"Kakashi..."

Looking at the lifeless Kakashi, Minato wanted to encourage him but before he could finish his words he saw Kakashi suddenly turning back and moving towards the exit with his head down.

Minato wanted to go after him but Sakumo stopped him as he knew Kakashi needed some time alone to digest this news.

Obito and Guy were also sad looking at the corpse as they never expected their best friend to leave so suddenly.

"Let's go, it's time to announce the news"

Minato along with other's arrived at the roof of the Hokage Building as he looked at the Shinobi gathered below.

"Everyone, I'm deeply saddened to inform you that Konoha's Hero Kozuki Shiro and Lord Third are no longer with us"

Minato announced the news of their death as his voice empowered with Chakra spread all around.

"What"

"How could this happen?"

"How could Kozuki sama die"

"Lord Third!"

The whole crowd below was in a mess as they couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"I know it's hard to accept but they gave their lives fighting the enemy, they are our heroes and they are not dead, there will, their teachings will always be with us"

All the Shinobi below had sad expressions on their faces.

Many of them were crying calling the name of Kozuki.

They only survived in the war because of him so they were hit deeply by his sudden death.

Minato soon announced the date of their funeral as this huge news quickly spread throughout the Ninja World.

"Haha, finally some good news"

Onoki laughed loudly after reading the news brought by their spy in Konoha.

Konoha was too strong, so Kozuki, Sarutobi, and Danzo dying affected the strength of Konoha a lot.

"But who could kill them"

Roshi who was standing beside couldn't help but ask.

He with his own eyes has seen how strong Kozuki was, he couldn't think how can someone Kill that Monster.

"Does that matter, all that is important is that Konoha has been hit deeply I'm going to drink a lot today"

Onoki hated Kozuki deeply since he had killed their Jinchuriki and now is happy after learning of his death.

Similar Scenes occurred in the other Kage offices as well except Raikage who was a bit sad hearing that someone who could fight and defeat him died suddenly.

He wanted to defeat Kozuki himself and wash the shame of that year but it seems that he can't do it anymore.
