Speaking of Hiruzen, the third Hokage managed to arrive in Konoha where he immediately commanded the guarding shinobi at the gate to inform the clan leaders, his advisors: Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu and Danzo to meet him at Konoha hospital. With that he immediately departed for the hospital.
The clan leaders, the two advisors and Danzo quickly received Hiruzen's summons and quickly departed arriving at the hospital where they were guided towards Hiruzen's room which was a private treatment room at the topmost floor of the building.
Upon entry they were shocked to see the Hokage sitting upright, his face haggard and pale as two high level medical ninja carefully calibrated various equipment preparing to be begin reattaching his left arm which was kept suspended in a green solution in a large glass container, provably a preservation liquid of some sort.
"Hokage-sama, what happened to you?" asked Shikaku Nara, leader of the Nara clan and one of the loyal supporters of the Hokage alongside the Akimichi and the Yamanaka.
Hiruzen seeing that all clan leaders and advisors were present proceeded to retell his encounter with the young masked shinobi.
".....And if it wasn't for Jiraiya, i would probably be dead" finished Hiruzen in a gloomy tone. The entire room was dead silent as everyone processed 'what the Fuck!' they had just heard. They all knew how powerful the third Hokage was as despite his age he was still a powerful peak level Kage and yet such a prestigious person almost died today. This was all just too shocking to hear.
"Do you have any idea as to who this shinobi might be?" asked Danzo with a stern face. He might have tried to kill his friend Hiruzen but even so he was concerned as with the Uchiha gone, Konoha was at its weakest and hence they couldn't afford to lose a Kage level shinobi. Even Danzo with all his selfishness and aspirations understood this.
Hiruzen shook his head.
"Nevertheless, we should put up a poster of him on the bingo book with a high bounty. I'm sure eventually we will hear news of his whereabouts." Suggested Biwako Sarutobi who was filled with rage and fear as she looked at her husband Hiruzen.
Hiruzen and the rest agreed.
"Also notify our shinobi that should they encounter the masked shinobi, they are to flee on sight. Given his prowess and chakra levels I doubt any of our shinobi would be able to exhaust him let alone kill him." Commanded Hiruzen and after a few more minor discussions everyone was dismissed, each individual leaving with various thoughts in their mind. One mind in particular belonging to the Kurama clan heiress couldn't help but wonder "Is it him?"
***********************
Yuu glanced towards his right where soon a weird creature half white half black slowly emerged from the ground. It wore a coat that opened up at the top like a Venus fly trap making it look quite unique.
"And who might you be?" asked Yuu despite already recognizing the creature.
The black half spoke "Our name is Zetsu or rather I'm black Zetsu while the other is white Zetsu."
"I see. And for what purpose have you been spying on me this entire time?"
Black Zetsu's eye widened in surprise "You've been able to sense us this entire time. That's quite impressive as my stealth techniques render me unsensible even by powerful sensors and barriers…. "
"Enough! why are you here?"
"I'm here to offer you a position in our organization" said Black Zetsu. "The Akatsuki. Every heard of It?"
"Can't say that I have. Sorry but I'll have to decline. I'm not interested in joining a band of riffraff rogue ninjas" said Yuu with a cold tone as he turned preparing to walk away.
"Oh but we are much more than your ordinary band of riffraff." Sounded a cool deep male voice.
Out of the corner of his eye, Yuu saw space twist next to Zetsu as a man wearing a black cloak with red cloud symbols emerged. His face was also concealed by a swirling orange mask, his eye being the only thing visible however the most shocking thing about his eye was that they were bright red with large black shuriken-like pupils which met and were currently rotating within his eyeball.
'So that's a Mangekyo Sharingan' thought Yuu as he observed the man fully appear.
"And who might you be?" asked Yuu as he turned to face them. His senses on full alert ready to attack if necessary.
The masked man chuckled "My other comrades only know me as Tobi but my real name is Madara Uchiha!"
The masked man expected Yuu to react in surprise but all he did was laugh mockingly.
"Right! And my name is Hashirama Senju." He said laughing before quickly pulling out his blade with a serious cold look in his eyes, pointing it at the man "I'll ask one more time. Who are you?"
The masked man's eye squinted coldly "I've already told you. My name is Madara Uchiha and to prove it to you I'll show you some evidence."
The masked man 'Madara' spread his right palm and with a poof of smoke, a large black fan shaped weapon appeared in his hand. It was wide with tomoe symbols etched on its surface. Yuu recognized it as anyone who knew of Madara Uchiha would recognize his signature weapon.
"Is that…" he asked his voice trembling.
"Yes. My weapon Gunbai." Said Obito. He waved the weapon around for a bit before storing it away with a puff of smoke. "Just for the fun of it I'll give you another proof as to why I am Madara Uchiha by telling you a little bit of information that no one else knows. The one who instigated the nine tails attack in Konoha and the one responsible for the death of the fourth Hokage and his Jinchuriki wife was me."
Yuu pretended to be shocked as he heard all this even manipulating his heart rate to increase.
"Alright let's say I believe you. What makes you think I would be interested in your little organization."
"Because we can help you in your goals. For example, we currently know you are looking for fuinjutsu grandmasters across the five nations in order to kill them. We can help you with that among other things."
Yuu's eyes turned colder at his words "Even without your help I could find those fuinjutsu grandmasters by myself."
