The masked man was immediately killed by Hiashi Hyuga. He then saw Hiruzen down on the street in a puddle of his own blood.
By that time many more people had arrived. The Uchiha police also came. They quickly sent Hiruzen to the hospital even though he looked lifeless.
The masked man's dead body was handed over to the police. Hiashi checked Hinata and made sure she wasn't injured.
The masked man was soon confirmed to be from Kumo and he had come as an envoy.
...
Alexander was in his office when he was notified about the incident. He got up to leave.
"Boss, the remaining three shinobi envoys from Kumo are here to talk to you." Dobby stopped him.
"Hmm, let's see what they are cooking. Send them in," he allowed him.
After a while, 3 Shinobi in their full battle gear entered his office. Their faces showed anger.
"What can I do for our dear 'ENVOYS' from Kumo?" Alexander asked, putting an emphasis on the word envoy as they all knew the truth.
"Lord Hokage, we demand answers, how can you allow this to happen to our commander." They screeched.
Alexander calmly smoked his pipe, "Well, then your Commander shouldn't have gone sightseeing inside Hyuga compound and tried to abduct a three-year-old."
"You have no proof of that. For all we know, the clan head of the Hyuga clan killed our commander when we came here for peace talks. This is going to start another war, Lord Hokage. We urge you to punish them." The three haughtily said.
"Care to tell me your names?" Alexander asked them.
"I am Hasiko,"
"I am Akio.
"And I am Eiji"
"Hmm, Hats, come here." Alexander summoned.
*Poof*
"What can I do for you, boss?" Hats appeared. His eyes were still reddened from the overdose of catnip.
"I want you to interrogate these three and get them to tell the truth why they came here." He instructed.
"Will you pay me in catnip?" Hats asked as his saliva dripped from the sides of his mouth.
"Yeah, sure." Alexander agreed.
~He has really turned into an addict. I'll have to add that medicine to his catnip next time.~ he planned.
Hats cracked his furry knuckles and walked to the three Shinobi. The next moment, he disappeared with them.
"That takes care of it. Now to the next objective, let's go and see the dead body." He said and got up.
But the next moment someone barged into the office without knocking. It was Asuma Sarutobi, son of Hiruzen.
The moment he entered he ran up to Alexander and kneeled near his feet. But at the same time, out of nowhere, a few Anbu appeared and put their weapons aimed at Asuma.
Alexander looked at Anbu angrily, "You fools, you were still secretly listening to me? This is my last warning, I don't need security, if you don't understand this I will dissolve the Anbu division. Go now."
Then he looked at Asuma, still kneeling, "What happened, kid?"
"Lord Hokage, please save my father. Although I know he is a criminal, b-but please save him. He has lost too much blood and Lady Tsunade said only you can do something.
"I-I am ready to take my father's punishments, in his place." He pleaded.
"Why are you even doing this? I thought you hated him." Alexander asked.
"He is still my father. Our views may have been different but that doesn't change the fact that I exist because of him. This bond will never die." Asuma said.
*Sigh*
"Only if all sons were like you. You are a good lad. Let's go, before he passes away." Alexander said and walked out.
Soon, he started flying with Asuma's body getting pulled behind him.
They came to the hospital and entered the emergency room. "How's it going, Tsunade?"
"Lord Hokage, you came in time. I am not able to stabilize his heartbeat." She informed him.
"Step back, let me have a look," Alexander told her.
He went close to Hiruzen's unconscious body, "Ah, both his lungs have been punctured."
"Can you save him?" Biwako Sarutobi, wife of Hiruzen asked. (She was supposed to die in Obito's raid on Konoha but Alexander happened.)
"Absolutely, barely an inconvenience," Alexander replied and put his hand on Hiruzen's chest.
Then he used Natural energy to heal him, he noticed various bruises on his body that he received from the beating from all the street bullies and other malnutrition-related problems. It took a few minutes but in the end, Hiruzen's wounds were healed. Though he was still unconscious.
Tsunade was shocked, "H-How did you do that, Lord Hokage?"
"Haha, you still got a lot to learn, child. Also, you should start training in Senjutsu. It is much more helpful when it comes to healing." He advised her.
"He will stay like this for a few hours. He had lost too much but Tsunade has done a good job at giving him some blood." Alexander said and started to leave for the mortuary.
But he stopped on his way and looked back at Asuma, "You can take him home. But he will spend the rest of his life inside the Sarutobi clan's compound. He will still have to kill Danzo and Orochimaru on his own when the time comes. I may have decreased his punishment, but he is not pardoned. What he did was honorable but saving one child doesn't forgive you for killing ten, be it directly or indirectly."
Asuma and Biwako bowed to him as he left.
"So, who's gonna count Danzo's apologies now?" Dobby asked.
"Well, we still have those two elders still shouting around the village about their crimes. Put them to the job." He decided.
After a while, they came to the mortuary. Alexander walked to the dead body and simply used his devil fruit power on it to reverse the body's time.
The man woke up with a jump. "Easy now. I am going to kidnap you, so stay silent."
He materialized a funny looking hammer and hit the guy on the head.
"Haha, kidnapping the kidnapper." Dobby laughed.
"All right, let's go to my office and see what Hats has done with them," Alexander said and went out.
...
Kumogakure had spent a lot of time preparing for this plan so they had sent a backup if everything failed and their guys got caught.
A leftover ninja from Kumogakure who had come to Konoha hiding as a merchant went to the Hyuga compound to blackmail Hiashi Hyuga.
"The man you just killed was the Shinobi commander of Kumo. A very important person for our village. It is going to bring the ire of Kumo to the whole Konoha, all due to the Hyuga clan.
"What will happen when more men, someone's father, or child die in another war? The whole Konoha will hate the Hyuga clan." The Kumo ninja said.
"What do you want?" Hiashi emotionlessly asked.
"An eye for an eye. You killed an important person of ours, we will kill yours. You decide who it will be. Though I don't think it will be a hard decision for you, considering how every branch house is like a slave for you." Kumo ninja mocked him.
Hiashi's eyes showed rare anger, "Control your tongue, lest there may be none left. Go away, we will answer you by tomorrow."
"Sure, choose your slaughter pig wisely." The ninja said and left.
The moment the ninja left, the sliding door opened and a man somewhat identical to Hiashi came in.
"Brother, I will go." He spoke.
Hiashi tightened his fist in annoyance, "I haven't decided yet."
"What options do we have left? We can not let a war happen due to us. It will destroy all this clan has worked for all this time." Hizashi persuaded him.
"No, we still have an option left. Lord Hokage is no common man. He can deal with this... I think," Hiashi muttered, unsure of himself.
...
At the same time in Kumogakure, A received a report from his intelligence division. It was about the activities of Alexander while he was missing.
The moment he opened it and started reading it his scalp went numb. He couldn't think of anything except dread. The report said that Alexander had full control over all other great shinobi nations except Kumo. It also said that Hashirama and Tobirama had returned to life somehow.
He looked out of his office at the village, thinking what would happen to it now, imagining the destruction.
"FUUUUC..."
