Orochimaru desperately looked at the coffin. The big wooden and yellowish coffin rose from the roof where they stood. It was roughly the same size as the other two. But, the number 4 was written on it.

"Four? Fourth Hokage?" Shiroken muttered and waited for him to come out.

However, from the look on Orochimaru's face, it was clear that he was having some trouble getting him completely out. And soon the coffin started to go back down into the ground.

"What? You don't have the power anymore? Is two the limit?" He asked him.

Orochimaru clenched his teeth. He had already lost the element of surprise. His plan was in shambles and anything that could go wrong had now gone wrong.

"Here, let me help you." Shiroken went to the coffin and helped him take it out. He physically tried to pull it out of the portal. But, it seemed to be stuck in there.

So, he started sending in his natural energy into the coffin. "Ah, there is some kind of a connection between this and whatever is in that portal."

"OH, it's moving," Shiroken exclaimed. He continued on to pull it out and also force whatever connection was inside that portal to diminish. He continued to pull it until its base was out. Once that was done he put the coffin on the side and stepped back.

"Go on, Orochimaru, show me your magic." He ordered amusingly. Orochimaru was cursing under his breath. This was the first time he felt like his existence was not much higher than that of an insect. Normally he was the one who did this.

*BOOM*

The door of the coffin was slammed open. The figure of a man with blue eyes and spiky blonde hair came into view. He also had jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. He was wearing a short-sleeved long white haori over his normal shinobi attire. He was the fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze

Currently, he looked lifeless like a doll. So Shiroken ordered, "Return his senses to him."

Orochimaru nodded and went to the body. He put his hand on the man's temples. But he secretly smiled, "YOU MADE A MISTAKE..."

*WOOSH*

Like lightning, Orochimaru ordered Minato to sense one of the special kunai that he had placed around the country before his death. The order was simple, get him as far away as possible.

Now, the Flying Thunder God technique uses one simple method. The user, by entering a dimensional void, can instantly teleport to a technique formula's location whenever they please, regardless of distance. However, as with all shinobi techniques, this also used chakra as the base.

Now, Chakra was useless on Shiroken, as his Natural Energy could simply nullify it by converting it into natural energy once again. So when he saw them escaping, he just smirked and raised his hand towards them.

He started strengthening all his surroundings with natural energy and in an instant, the small area turned into a hotspot of Natural energy. This meant he was completely connected with every particle in the vicinity.

*BOOM*

He punched the air right before Minato and Orochimaru escaped.

"AAAA... *Cough* *Cough*" The jump was unsuccessful. Minato only flickered like a lightbulb that couldn't turn on. But Orochimaru was hit by Shiroken's air punch. His stomach had a hole now and he lay on the terrace in his own pool of blood.

"I told you not to act smart, now look. Okay, last chance, get up, fix this man here, then I will heal you. As I have not yet decided what to do with you." He offered.

This was like holy water to a desperate person. He made Minato come to him and sit down. He once again put his fingers on his temple and removed the personality and memory suppressors.

All of a sudden Minato started to look left and right in confusion. He looked down at his feet, Orochimaru was there on the floor like a dying dog.

"L-LORD DAMA..." Orochimaru breathed.

Shiroken shrugged and walked to the man... Or woman... It was confusing. "Here you go." He put his arm on his stomach and healed him.

"Done, now stay there until I decide how I want to dissect you," Shiroken ordered him dangerously.

He then looked at the 4th Hokage. The man seemed to be looking at the thousand hand statue and Tobirama. The village was half destroyed by now.

"W-What happened here?" He asked.

Hiruzen saw his former student and felt a glimmer of hope. ~Now all four of us are here. Jiraiya is also in the village. If all 5 of us can get together, maybe we can...~

"Minato, step back from him." He shouted to warn the man.

Shiroken didn't react much. Instead, he had a very warm face. Of course, he wasn't like this because of Minato, but instead of what was inside him. It was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

*ZZZIP*

Minato was still grasping the situation when he saw Shiroken all of a sudden move from his position so fast even he couldn't keep up with him. He felt threatened and immediately did something that created a kind of orange light all over his body as if he was in flames.

But, Shiroken didn't stop, and the next thing Minato knew, there was a palm resting on his stomach.

"Wha... WHO ARE YOU?" Minato asked him.

"SON OF A FOX!... HEY, KURAMA... CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Shiroken spoke in a calm voice.

Minato's eyes widened, "How do you know that name? WAIT... white hair, red eyes, white skin... YOU ARE SHIROKEN DAMA?"

Shiroken nodded but focused on the big fox that now had a very excited face, his ears perked up.

"SHIRO? IS THAT REALLY YOU? WHAHAHA... LOOK AT HOW BIG YOU'VE GROWN..." A loud and happy laugh resounded in Shiroken's mind, as well as Minato's body.

"YEAH! And what is this? I never thought you'd collaborate with a human and let him use your power. You're making me feel jealous actually." Shiroken made a fake hurt expression.

Kurama, totally enjoying every second of being able to look at Shiroken, replied. "Hah, you're already strong enough to end worlds from what I can feel, why would you need this old Kyuubi's power?"

Shiroken chuckled, "I missed you, Kurama. You've been gone for decades. I was also stuck until recently. Oh, did you know, we now have our own country, Isobu, Saiken and Chomei are already there, they are well protected and are being their usual happy self."

*Sigh*

"That eases me a bit. The three most clutz siblings among us have been saved. What about that horned guy? Did you beat him?" Kurama inquired. Simply put, he won't ever forget the threat of the Otsutsuki now.

Shiroken smilingly nodded, and also boasted, "Hehe, I did kill him, also took all his powers. Now, I am even stronger than he was. Plus, I now have full control over Natural Energy."

"Good, I am proud of you, Shiro. I'm sure everyone would be." Kurama would have patted Shiroken's head if he could. Kurama, the old fox who was always grumpy, was like a kind worrying father to Shiroken.

Minato, who saw this whole exchange, felt somewhat sad for Shiroken. The only reason why he was able to use this cloak mode was that those who get banished to the stomach of the Shinigami are bound to fight for eternity. So, to survive there, he and Kurama shook hands and slowly became friends.

Kurama would often tell him many stories of his life, most of them were about Shiroken. This would often make Minato sad too, as he thought about his own son. So, the two came to some kind of sad-dad understanding. As both had sons but were stuck in that void.

"Kurama, I will stop talking to you now, okay. I am currently punishing Konoha. Look outside, Hashirama and Tobirama are now hated by the whole village." He said and retreated his senses.

Kurama saw through Minato's eyes. And he could only feel joy from it. The huge cloud of smoke covered the sky over the village, only the distant part was intact, the part in front of them was just dust now.

[A/N: It is said that all those souls that get devoured by Dead Demon Consuming Seal don't ever get to the afterlife and just fights each other inside the Shinigami. These souls are also not able to reincarnate with the use of the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation. This was why when initially Orochimaru summoned Hashirama and Tobirama's casket, there was also a third one, which couldn't come out completely.

However, the reason Shiroken is able to do it is that he breaks the limit of the world. Remember, at the end of Naruto Shippuden, to summon back team 7, Hagoromo was able to call back the souls of the dead Kage from the Pure Land for a short while. Now, that feat was something much bigger than just getting a soul from the demon, because Pure Land is a literal afterlife. Shiroken is obviously stronger than Hagoromo, why? Because he absorbed a peak high ranking Otsutsuki, meanwhile Hagoromo is a half-blooded Otsutsuki son of who knows whatever tier Kaguya is. Also, Shiroken is like the God of Natural Energy at this point, no Chakra attack can harm him.]
