The war became more fierce. The new-generation ninjas has been introduced to a new scale of power by the strongest Sharingan wielder from decades ago, Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara didn't hesitate to show all of the ninjas the true power of a ninja could hold. A part of it has been seen by dumping a huge boulder, similar to one of the meteor, many of them onto the surface of the earth. Onoki, Tsuchikage from Iwagakure, successfully received the huge blow but also received a huge impact upon himself. He had fell greatly with honor, but it wasn't long until the renowned Medical Ninja from Konohagakure, the fifth Hokage, Tsunade, came to their aids along with Raikage.
With the arrival of both kages, the five kages have completed and finally gathered in one place. It a rare sight, and created a history of ninja world. Kazekage, Gaara, his heart was unsettled. The meeting with Kouri was unpleasant, and he didn't know how to tell Naruto, her closest friend. Naruto, a clone, was at a brink of chakra and could run out anytime soon. He need to tell him while he got the chance. Was it a good thing to tell him ? Will it ruin the whole plan if he told him there ?
"Naruto." he called Naruto. Naruto turned to him with a confident yet fierce linger in his eyes. He wasn't the Naruto he used to know back then, clumsy and obnoxious, but a very new Naruto that were so wise and reliable.
"I crossed pass with her." he said, his heart became uneasy thinking of the possibility of how Naruto would take the news he's going to tell.
"She's definitely with these Madara. She tried to lessen the burden to the process by killing half of men under my command. It would be easier for her to kill me, but she didn't and I don't know what she possibly planned." Gaara said, finally letting everything out of his chest. He felt heavy having to have the facts around without telling Naruto, and now he felt lighter even with the huge gourd behind him.
Naruto sighed and looked down. The kazekage couldn't see what he was thinking because he couldn't see his expression, but the words came from Naruto afterwards told him he doesn't have to worry.
"Thanks, Gaara. You fought well." Naruto said before puffed into thin air into a white smoke. Gaara stared off on his last presence before he nodded with determination and turned to face the enemy ahead. The one and only enemy that could turn this world upside down, Uchiha Madara.

"What is this- so many white zetsu!" a feminine voice heard jumping through the forest after successfully flee from a few white zetsu. She gave a last kick to a white zetsu that jumped along with her to shake him off of the trees. She then quickly jumped from a tree to a tree to search for an answer to everything.
'Reanimation jutsu ? Whose work is this ?' she thought while looking at her hands which formed cracks that could happen only under the jutsu. She shook the thoughts out of her head and quickly went to where the noise of battle heard. She jumped from tree to trees until she saw a tent in the sight. She quickly went towards there and ended up at the entrance with ninjas surrounded her.
"Nohara Yui ?!" one of the ninjas voice out, holding their weapons in hand. The woman, apparently Nohara Yui, looked around her examining the atmosphere and their anxiety.
"They even got her, damnit!" another ninja, once her comrade, said dejectedly. Her heart soften at his words and also realized that she's not the only one under the jutsu, but many others. With the tent suddenly placed in the middle of a field, she came to a conclusion that she was in the middle of the war, and they used reanimation jutsu, the dead people to fight with them.
"Don't worry." Yui said, her hand propped onto her waist in relaxing manner, her usual self. Her smile sent hope into their hearts and their stance instantly wavered at it.
"I'm not under the jutsu." Yui said before entering the safe quarter, making everyone stunned at the revelation. They were absolutely shock to know that someone could be free from the jutsu. It was a strong jutsu as well, but they reminded themselves that the one stood before them, walking without any care in the world has a blood of Nohara through her veins. If it comes to control people, they're the one that expert in that kind of sort.
"Yes! Nohara Yui is on our side!" one of the ninja shouted and everyone followed with the same amount of cheer. A certain pinkette ran into the commotion and she sigh in disbelief at her sight. The mother of her bestfriend stood strong in front of her. She seemed calming down the crowd that boosting her ego.
"Nohara-san." she approached the red-haired woman. Yui turned around and met with her daughter's best friend.
"Sakura-chan! Long time no see!" Yui chimed as she pulled Sakura into a hug. Sakura was uncomfortable, because they were in the middle of a war. She wouldn't if it was under difference circumstances, but she enjoyed the hug anyway.
"Only a month ago, Nohara-san." Sakura pointed out, pulling herself out of the hug. Yui flashed her a smile before following Sakura who went back to the tent.
"Care to tell me what's this all about ? What war is this ?" Nohara Yui questioned the questions that has been lingered in her head. She was absolutely shock to find herself alive again and most certainly, wasn't under her control. The one that cast the jutsu on her must have underestimated her, not knowing what she was capable of.
"Some individuals planned to banish the ninja world. We don't know what exactly they plan to do in order to achieve that but we're trying our best to stop them." Sakura said while going back and forth in the tent to tend the injured ninjas.
"Our nation have united in order to stop this war, which is a good thing." Sakura added smiling.
Yui listened and nodded, even though she knew who's the cause of all of these. She had known of this plan beforehand and tried to stop their plan by killing herself, but why does the plan still going ? If it wasn't her, then what's the core of the plan ? She only knows that they need her in order to achieve what they want, but she certainly wasn't told of the whole plan they have.
"Where's Kouri ?" she suddenly asked, stopping Sakura on her track. Sakura felt her body went cool at the question from her best friend's mother herself. She doesn't want to hurt her with the revelation. How can a mother accept the fact that her daughter had gone rogue and joined the enemy of the whole nation ? How can she explain to her mother that her daughter wasn't a Konoha member anyomore ?
"Kouri.. she.." Sakura tried to find words to say it with less hurt. Yui saw how she was hesitant to answer her question. Her most fear came bite her in the back. She tried to hide her daughter at all cost, but she failed. Her spontaneous decision for making Sasuke kill her had cost her daughter. How can she be so fool ?
"So they got her." sullenly, Yui said which surprised Sakura. Sakura looked at her in disbelief. Yui was pondering with herself on how to fix the problem she created, didn't realize Sakura had given her a death glare that could penetrate the back of her head.
"What do you mean they got her ?" Sakura said, catching Yui's attention. Yui realized she had said it out loud and had upset Sakura. Sakura is a clever girl, she might had caught up by now that all these time, she had known this could happen.
"You... know of this ?" Sakura questioned, her eyes were scary than ever. Yui didn't waver however, but she didn't know where she should start explaining everything. She don't have enough time to explain everything.
"It's a long story, and we don't have time." Yui said before turning her heels to get out of the tent. Sakura who reacted faster, grab ahold of her arm and spun her to face her.
"Do you really came from Amegakure ?" Sakura hissed, her hand clenched onto Yui's arm, making her squirmed a little at the clench. Sakura had a monstrous strength, she could crush her arm if it continues any longer.
"Yes, I am from Amegakure." Yui said, didn't bother to release the clenches onto her arm. She deserve the pain. She deserve to be yelled at, punished, thrown out of the village.
"But.. that's not all." Yui said, this time releasing the clench from her arm. She had to do something fast or the end will come. If she didn't start now, everything will be crushed under their hands. Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara.
"I have to get going. See you at the front line." Yui said one last time before jumping into nothingness. Sakura tried to catch her but to no avail. She sighed, thinking that her fishy feelings towards Nohara family wasn't for nothing. They did hide something and it relates to this war. What was it ? What is it that make them relatable ?
