'I hope we're not late.' - Kimoko ran all her might towards the arena while dragging her husband along with her.
Calling it a bad day for him would be a very dismissive statement.
At first, when her husband walked into the house with the news that Eiji was still alive and back, she could not describe how relieved she was.
But now the village was under attack, and the center of the fight seemed to be the arena where he should be.
If Eiji died the same day he finally returned, it would be ridiculous.
On his way, he saw many shinobi fighting, but he ignored them and continued running.
Of course, since he is an kunoichi from Konoha, it is his duty to fight and help.
Not doing their duty would definitely get her and her husband Satoshi punished.
But he doesn't care at the moment.
"Please .. wait ..." - Satoshi looked like he couldn't keep up with his speed anymore, but instead of stopping, he quietly picked him up and carried him.
When he finally entered the arena, the scene was unbelievable.
Total chaos, so much destruction, but even so, most of the audience fell asleep for a reason.
"EJI!!" - she screamed as loud as she could, but she got no answer.
Frantically he looked around, hoping to find it among the sleeping audience, but to no avail.
There are too many people!
But then she sees the battlefield on the roof, and her maternal instinct tells her that Eiji is there.
He gritted his teeth and continued to run, while Satoshi tried his hardest not to vomit.
"SAKON!!" - Ukon howled like a beaten dog, not caring about the dangerous situation he was in.
Orochimaru did not care about him, instead, he endured the pain in his arm as best he could: 'My arm feels like it is burning ... I can't continue like that, I have to retreat!'
But then his gaze was fixed on the unconscious Eiji.
'Damn this, this is all his fault! At least before I leave, I have to kill him...'
Actually, it wasn't Eiji's fault, Orochimaru would have ended up the same even without Eiji.
"We're done, we're back. But before that, kill this brat over there!"
"YES SIR!" - the rest of the Sound Four
"You dream!" - the two Anbu who watched the entire battle outside the barrier, wanted to protect Eiji.
In their eyes, he was an extraordinary young man, who risked his life to protect the Hokage, so they could not just let him die.
The Sound Four (now only 3) prepared to attack.
Their plan was to split up so that someone could easily kill Eiji.
"EJI!!" - suddenly a middle-aged woman appeared with a middle-aged man on her back.
He let the man fall and rushed towards Eiji and hugged him while crying.
His heart was pounding, so it was tears of happiness: "Eiji... I'm so glad you're alive..."
She looked completely different now from the last time she saw him, but she was his mother and she recognized him instantly.
Satoshi stood up and despite being scared and almost vomiting from "traveling" from being drunk, he tried his best to appear strong and intimidating.
'Let your eyes be straight and do not turn away! Don't show them how much Sake you're drinking tonight! It's a father's job!'
"Like a weak worm that appears it will change anything!" - Tayuya stormed to kill.
But suddenly someone started attacking Orochimaru and Sound Four from behind.
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!! BROTHER!!! I WILL REPLY TO YOU!!" - Ukon who seems to have gone mad.
"Ukon, your brother sacrificed himself for me, which is his duty as one of the Four Sounds.so this is your answer? I promise, if you don't stop this nonsense, your death won't hurt. .." - Orochimaru
Orochimaru noticed that Ukon was not responding, which seemed to have lost his mind, and glanced down, where Kakashi and Guy were.
Right now, they were dealing with Kabuto, but who would have thought if one of them suddenly decided to rush to the roof.
"Tsk, whatever. Leave this brat and Ukon, we'll back off!"
Obviously, some of the Anbu tried to stop them from leaving, but like in the original timeline, it was absolutely no problem for them to leave.
