He awakes in a cave, in front of him, stood Kabuto with a white hair and scales having a trademark purple tattoo around his eyes, looking at ‘him’ smugly.

“Although you’re a mere special Jonin, having a title in the past battlefield before Naruto being the village’s hero… what a sad ending you have… even though many were born alive after Pain’s attack, you and more of those that die in the start of the attack can’t resurrect…”

Hotaru which stand in front of him can only see the person in front of him with a puzzled face…

Later, he knows that…

He’s been dead for only several months, and not long after his death, Naruto comes back along with a whole new stage in power.

Using his Sage power, along with a controlled Kyuubi’ ability, he can withstand Pain’s attack. However, unlike what Kabuto expect for him to rage about with the cruel fate he had, unlike Naruto.

Hotaru just smiled a little.

Seeing the smile, Kabuto baffled, and question Hotaru, “Why do you smile? How can you smile? Don’t you feel anger at the unfairness of fate…”

Hotaru said nothing.

Knowing the trouble, Hotaru can give him, Kabuto seal Hotaru with obedience seal, a seal which makes him unable to disobey Kabuto’s order.

“Go kill the ninjas in the war above…”

Is what Kabuto ordered.

Thus, along with more than hundreds of another resurrected ninja, Hotaru plays in the stage called the Great war of ninja…

The ninja from 5 Great nation laughably cooperate, he doesn’t know when that 3rd dies, but Konoha’s being led by Tsunade as the 5th Hokage…

Leaving Sarutobi unknown to see…

In this battle, he experiences the feeling to unleash more chakra than he can, and with the chakra, he can create more than thousands of threads, making him a monster in the field.

Many know of him, but more don’t know him.

He’s only a special Jonin after all, not someone that can be seen as an ultimate threat like Kakashi and the others from Akatsuki with his low chakra level.

At most he can do surveillance, and although he’s healthy, he’s not so strong…

Even the one knows as Might Guy, only known in this war, after his battle against Madara, can those ninjas fully understand the might of Taijutsu practitioner.

The shinobi alliance being pushed back, with more resurrected ninja put down, more ninjas were diced by Hotaru.

Using his infinite amount of chakra, along with his untired body, he moves slowly but surely kill his enemy…

Kabuto, Obito, even the ninjas from Konoha which already know him scared silly by Hotaru’s ability…

Unlike them, Danzo, however, already understand how scary Hotaru is, but seeing the real thing and speculating things is evidently different…

“The name is Hotaru, and he’s an orphan and one of my subordinates in secret ops which being trained personally by me and kill numerous amounts of Sound and Sand Village ninjas… he’s someone that once already put in bingo book the sand, but deceased in Pain’s attack from Konoha…” Danzo explain…

“how can someone like him, being written as the lower-middle warrant in the bingo book? Are you sand and sound ninja along with you, Konoha try to hide something from us?” said Hidden rock village Kage, Ohnoki…

“you do realize the property of Edo Tensei, right? Aside from giving the resurrected unlimited vitality, they also gave the resurrected a higher amount of chakra than when they alive… Hotaru, from before had only the slightly higher amount of chakra than the rest of Gennin, and even that can make him enter the bingo book from our village… we deduce that he’d even bigger chakra reserve than his when he’s still alive…” Kankuro said

“Duh… we’re all already know that! His threat level is just below those of the Hokage, and not even Akatsuki grade ninjas can defeat that mass slaughtering device aside from that Madara and Pain…”

“we need someone to test him…”

“That’s right… it’s a blessing the night is the time when the enemy won’t attack us with full force…”

“they seem to wait for something… and the fact that Hotaru dices the fallen shinobi make Kabuto unable to use the corpse…”

“no. from the research, Edo Tensei need an alive person to deal used, and the person will be the vessel the resurrected ninja used…”

“Oh… that means, knowing the sacrifice, we can deduce that Hotaru is…”

Without continuing his words, Ohnoki, along with others inside the meeting area fell silent.

They realize the fact, the bitter reality, that a special Jonin ninja killed many jonin and elite Chunin under theirs with a vessel that at most, having a power of a special Jonin…

A ninja that have less or even equal to those of Elite Chunin ninja…

However, knowing how many Jonin died and how many more elites being resurrected, they already know that the vessel Hotaru being resurrected in must only be some average Chunin level ninja…

That’s what makes them feel the dread, and luck for the truth…

Less did they know, even that Chunin level chakra vessel can make them despair if they knew…

Hotaru held himself back by notches…

….

.

..

.

It’s a rare sight to behold…

The shinobi around the world cooperate with each other and act against an organization.

The darkness we spent in suddenly vanished, letting us see the area with rocks and coffin behind ‘me’ along with several other ninjas.

The snake guy said some gibberish which makes me feel joy, and the ‘me’ that smiles in front of the snake guy, anger him…

Well, not like we care…

After ‘my’ death, there’s something different happen to ‘me’.

The chakra which held me back increased suddenly…

By the amount, it feels like some Chunin grade chakra level, and it’s still able to grow.

A body that can even grow its chakra capacity is the first time for me. Furthermore, the experience I feel in this body feel more resonance than my soul form…

It’s like, my soul and ‘my’ body, can feel each other…

The ‘me’ that blinded by revenge, getting softer after realizing the ‘me’ within me…

That’s the reason why, we diced the body so that Kabuto can’t use the body to resurrect more ninja, at the same time, unable him to get even better sacrifice…

Well, the time continues, even with this body, ‘I’ still need to adapt.

The night leaves, and the ninjas in front of me, filled with Jonin and Anbu grade ninja, there’s even the famous Mizukage in this place…

“Get in formation, what we ought to do is investigate! Stay on your position and move along with the mission you’d designated for!”

“” YES! Mizukage-sama!””

By the look, they seem to be tried to probe me. However, using a Kage sure is lucrative…

I mean, for a mere information Jonin from a research and development division, well… an ex at least, to receive this many Jonin along with a Kage level ninja…

They sure hold me high…

I expect to be cornered in this battle, but astonishingly, I didn’t…

I don’t know whether it’s them or me, but the battle itself bland…

There’s nothing I can expect, aside from them throwing some kunai and using some jutsu, there’s nothing to be expected.

I mean, seriously…

Is ninja battle this vapid?

They only used jutsu after another, with me using my thread and obliterate their jutsu or deflect the kunai and shuriken.

Oh, there’s someone that’s using Fuma shuriken, ooh! There’s someone which used a substitution jutsu, but meh…

Using a thread is good enough to deflect or destroy the jutsu…

My thread dismembers them, and my chakra leveled up…

“This… is…”

The thread surrounding me suddenly became a blade, with this Jonin-level chakra capacity and grade, I can obviously make something even scarier than what I usually…

With this resonance, I can feel the minute details…

The incredible resonance I feel with ‘me’ from this world astonish me, the way chakra moves along my chakra path surrounding this body, along with the minute movement these threads make, the feeling I felt when the knife-thread cut apart the jutsu along with the shape of the Jonin…

Even the breath of the Mizukage, along with her nervousness, can be felt…

However, in my ecstasy…

*Drop*

“Mission success! Bind him ASAP!”

The Mizukage said, while my sight…

Lose its target…
