Back in the stands, Raito and Naruto collected their money from his fight and pocketed it really quickly. As they headed back, Raito spotted white leaves falling in the wind. Raito realized what was happening and released the genjutsu. Naruto was out cold so Raito released the genjutsu from his friend and then proceeded to laugh at him.
Naruto groaned, and the two moved towards where the Konoha sensei were.
Raito said, "Naruto, you need to get ready. There's about to be a large-scale battle fought here today. "
"Huh, really?"
"I helped save the proctor when he discovered the plan."

In the arena, Sasuke prepared himself for another chidori when suddenly four people appeared in front of him. Hayate stood in front of him directly, and then a team of sand genin appeared near Gaara.
Sasuke stood up straight and said, "What's going on?"
Hayate replied, "Chunin exams are over. Pursue the siblings. I'm sure one of the jonin will send you back up."
Sasuke nodded and rushed past the Suna jonin to pursue the sand siblings.

Back in the central viewing tower, the Kazekage grabbed the Hokage before jumping atop the large building. Inazuma Arashi, however, was just as quick as the Sannin. Killing both the guards of the Kazekage in the swiftest wind technique the Kazekage had ever seen.
The Anbu managed to actually reach the Hokage but were stalled by the kunai to his neck. So they stood by.
Inazuma, on the other hand, dropped a kunai on the ground and went to help the city. Konoha may not have been their explicit ally, but nonetheless, he would help people stay safe.
Hiruzen grimaced; he appreciated the Yokage's help.
The Kazekage chuckled and said, "Your foolishness has stalled, perhaps even stagnated Konoha village. It's my victory."
Hiruzen said, "Hmmph. I thought I told you not to count your chickens before they hatch, Orochimaru."
Orochimaru grinned and ripped the face off of himself.
"I warned you to select a fifth Hokage, because the third is going to die right here."
Hiruzen replied, "I wouldn't be so sure of that."
"Ahh, well, I have a gift for you," Orochimaru kept grinning as he stabbed his hand with the kunai and let go of the third Hokage.
Slamming his hand on the ground, suddenly one coffin arose, then a second. However, Hiruzen had already moved to shut down the third from rising. He cringed visibly as he saw the visages of his old mentor and the first Hokage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raito realized he had no choice but to go all in. He activated his Hikarigan and cut open a shinobi about to attack Sakura. Kakashi's eye widened as a white flash passed him by. So did the other awake shinobi. Guy, most of all, was surprised by the speed; he hadn't seen the boy even move.
Kakashi put his headband up and grinned. He'd managed to successfully use the Mangekyou Sharingan. After all those years, he was finally capable of using it. However, the ability took a lot of chakra, and so he needed to not activate it until necessary.
Raito cut down all the sound ninjas with his chokuto and appeared sliding in front of Kakashi.
"We need to pursue the sand siblings!"
Kakashi replied, "I agree, Sakura, wake Shikamaru and take Naruto with you to pursue Sasuke and the siblings. This is an A-rank mission, and you will be rewarded for it."
Sakura nodded enthusiastically and watched as Kakashi summoned a ninja dog.
"Pakkun, lead that group to Sasuke."
Sakura crawled towards Shikamaru and then realized the boy wasn't even asleep. Pakkun bit him to get him to get up.
"What the heck… I didn't want to get involved… Whyyyy?"
Naruto was just standing when an Otogakure ninja appeared behind him. Raito saw the man, and so did Guy. A white flash cut the man's head off while the Green Beast of Konoha kicked him through the wall.
Sakura, Naruto, and Shikamaru left through the convenient hole Guy had just created.
Kakashi then turned to Shino, who was about to move, "Shino, you should place a chakra-draining bug on every enemy ninja. It will be a slow process, but it will make them weaker incrementally."
Shino nodded and began to send his bugs out.
Kakashi turned to Raito as the boy finished killing another Oto ninja.
"Can you get me inside the central viewing tower? I fear for the Hokage's safety."
Raito grinned, "It blocks out physical things, not light. Close your eyes."
Kakashi did as told and felt as he moved a great distance in less than half a second. He opened his eyes inside the purple barrier jutsu and grinned.
Kakashi then said, "Go, this battle is above even your pay grade. Go and make sure no one is trailing the others in pursuit of Sasuke."
Raito nodded and disappeared before reappearing behind Shino. Standing next to the boy, Raito decided he'd be useful to bring along.
"Shino, come with me. I'm gonna follow the other to make sure they aren't being trailed. Once that's done, we'll circle around to the front gate. We'll meet up with my teammates, whom I already instructed to join the battle there."
Shino replied, "I wasn't wrong in my assessment."
"Huh?"
The two genin flew towards their comrades.
"When I forfeited to Karasu, I had read his bingo book rating. You and he are experienced in pitched battle."
"Barely, I've fought in four battles of that sort, Shino. It stinks in the field, but it's our job. Even if it's you against twenty, you have to stand for as long as you can."
Shino nodded and said, "As I thought. I'll take orders from you gladly."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kakashi stood warily as he watched the Hokage look in horror at the two people who walked out of the coffins. It was the first and second Hokage. A raven-haired man and a white-haired man walked out. Both of them in ancient battle armor.
Kakashi appeared next to the Hokage.
"Kakashi! Leave, this is not your level."
Kakashi smirked and said, "You underestimate me, Hokage-sama. I've grown past my anbu days; they could call me the Professor at this rate."
Hiruzen chuckled and watched as Kakashi lifted his headband back up. Kakashi stood in a basic stance as Hiruzen took off his robes.
"Reanimation?" The second Hokage said.
Hiruzen said, "Indeed, Tobirama, Hashirama."
Hashirama said, "We have no choice but to fight you then, Saru?"
Orochimaru interrupted the conversation with, "Alright old people, enough with the small talk, let's get the fight started."
Orochimaru put a kunai in each of the bodies and urged them forward.
Hiruzen flew through a few hand signs. Kakashi recognized the jutsu and decided to bolster it with his own earth technique.
[Fire Release: Dragon's Flame]
[Earth Release: Earthen Arrows]
The arrows of earth were released into the fire, and so neither of the former Hokage saw the technique being used. A flame larger than any Kakashi had ever seen exited Hiruzen. However, the second Hokage used his own water technique.
[Water Release: Water Wall]
A wall of water arose from almost thin air. Kakashi's eyes widened. The second Hokage was known for his water jutsu. But from just the air alone, it was unheard of. Water is needed to use most water jutsu. The water also stopped the earth arrows, slowing them down enough for the three ninjas in the wall to dodge them.
Kakashi grimaced. This was going to be a tough fight.
Hiruzen yelled, "Kakashi, handle Orochimaru. You have my order to kill him."
