Whatever Kazuhiko was about to say next had the potential to shatter his understanding of things.
Summoning his courage, Kurogane lifted his head, his eyes a mix of anticipation and fear as he gazed at Kazuhiko.
Kazuhiko narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Aburame Tatsuma, who, without a moment's respite, urgently conveyed the information.
"Anbu just briefed me; Lord Hokage has awakened. The Uzumaki elders also instructed us to inform you promptly."
"I advised you to go down there immediately!"
Acknowledging Tatsuma's words, Kazuhiko nodded, "Understood, I'll head there shortly."
