sanmitamaya and The Hokage's Practice Fight

"Why are you looking so down?", Renshi asked a sullen looking Sanmita, to which she frowned, "We are going to fight Jiraiya sensei. To think it would come to this day...I will have to fight my favorite writer...." She sighed, and Renshi couldn't help but laugh. "Oh now you are laughing at me. Yeah yeah, go on. You don't have to fight the writer whose books were in adult section in the bookstores, thus you had to do a Henge to obtain them. You didn't see a someone reading the limited Golden edition, the one you had been searching for in every bookstore...." Sanmita began mumbling, and Renshi laughed harder. He had known about the girl's fanatic side for Icha Icha. Sanmita scowled, and Renshi pressed his lips into a thin line, trying not to laugh further.

Meanwhile, a little ahead, Kalina asked Hinata, "Is it just me, or Sanmita and Renshi are getting along really well?" Hinata laughed, "Getting along really well? That would be a big understatement. They are head over heels for each other. You did not see them after Sanmita lost her Jacket, and tried to save Renshi. Had I not interrupted...well I can only imagine. The point is, these two like each other, and Renshi understands this."

"What about her?" Kalina asked, and Hinata rolled her eyes, "She is so freakin naive! God, she was red as cherry when I found them, and was stammering trying to tell me that she did not like him. She keeps denying the whole thing. I tried to bring it up..." "But she must have said, 'I am very young' or something like that, correct?" Kalina cut in, and the ex-hyuuga nodded.

"Sister-in-law, I have a feeling that we have just got another mission, one of playing cupid and making a stupid girl realize that she is not 12 years old anymore", Kalina grumbled, and Hinata giggled, "Yes, you are right." Marrik was listening to the two of them, and rolled his eyes. He sarcastically remarked from front, "Yeah, best of luck you two." Kalina pouted, and Hinata glared at the Hokage.

The five of them traveled for about a day, Sanmita sullen about the 'fighting with sensei' thing, Renshi trying hard not to see the way Sanmita's dress was hugging her, Kalina and Hinata gushing over the 'hook Sanmita and Renshi together' thing, and Marrik trying his best to avoid hearing their 'girl talk'. They stopped near Tenshi bridge, and camped for taking rest. "Sanmita, Marrik and Kalina, please take rest. Renshi kun, I hope you will not be uncomfortable taking the night watch with me. I assure you you will have proper rest. But these three need more of it." Renshi nodded, "I understand."

Renshi took the first watch. He kept tending the camp fire for a while. About an hour or so passed, and he looked behind him. He was a little surprised to see a faint light coming from Sanmita's tent. "What is she up to now?" He rose up, and made his way to Sanmita's tent. "Hey. Why are you not resting?" He asked the girl as he entered her tent, and found that she was surrounded by scrolls, and was reading up on a certain scroll. She looked behind, "Oh...Renshi. Aaah, I was just searching for something, that's all." Renshi crouched beside her, "What are you searching?" To which Sanmita simply said, "I was searching for a sealing Jutsu."

Renshi looked at her quizzically, "A sealing Jutsu?" "Yes. Hokage sama's reverse reanimation technique takes away a lot from him, despite how strong he tries to appear. I remember that there was a Jutsu which was particularly helpful in sealing. I didn't bother to learn it because I was running short of time. I can however, try to cram it right now. It is not easy, the sheer amount of Chakra required will throw me off. and I need to use it with dead accuracy, I won't have a second chance on it."

Renshi looked at her, "You will learn it in just a matter of hours?" to which Sanmita sheepishly replied, "I really don't know. This technique, I can't practice it except if I really want to send someone to shinigami's dimension. So I have not tried it, ever. I really hope it works...I still am not very happy about fighting Jiraiya sama. He was a fellow leaf nin, to think that I will have to fight someone who inspired me to become a shinobi..."

Renshi looked at her quizzically, "I thought Icha Icha was a porn writing", and Sanmita laughed, "Yes. Icha Icha, despite being a porn, has a really good story line. For some one like me, who does not know what love is all about, it is a refreshing writing. But I was talking about his first book, the Gutsy ninja. I heard that seventh Hokage was named after the hero of Jiraiya sama's first book, and I stripped down the bookstores and libraries to find it. I found it in a bookstore in a secluded corner of Konoha. The more I read it, the more I realized that I wished to be like the Naruto of that book. I signed myself up for shinobi training, and rest is history."

Renshi looked at her," I am sure you will be able to pull this off." Sanmita looked at him, and he smiled. That smile made her a little bit giddy, and before she knew it, she blurted out," You look cute when you smile. You should smile more often." Renshi was taken aback, and as BOTH of them started to realize what Sanmita had said, they blushed. "I mean...umm..you don't smile often. You usually act so formally, you need to lighten up...and uhh...I erm...why are you blushing?" Renshi turned cherry, "I don't know, why are you blushing?" Sanmita rolled her eyes, "Blushing is my specialty. My blood loves my cheeks." Renshi laughed, and Sanmita joined in. After a few moments, they calmed down a little, and Sanmita spoke up, "Although, I really meant that smile thing." Renshi nodded," I will work on that. Now, rest. We have a big day tomorrow. You need to rest properly. Your fight with your favorite writer is going to be nastier than with the Snake freak." Sanmita pouted, and then made a gesture as if shooing off an animal, "Yes mother. Got it." Renshi raised his eyebrow, and ducked out of the tent.

The next day, the five of them made their way to the Tenshi bridge. At first, they saw nothing. “Where the hell would we find him?” Renshi asked, and Hinata activated her byakugan, and then started scanning the area. Suddenly, she scrunched her nose up, “I always wondered why Naruto-kun called him ero-sennin. I am now seeing the answer. There is a women bath here, and it seems that he is peeping.”

Sanmita grinned, “I have a plan. Where is the bath house?” Hinata pointed the direction, and Sanmita jumped off. The Hokage wondered aloud, “What is she planning…?” After a minute or so, suddenly, they heard several screams of “KYAAAAA~H!!!!” The four leaf shinobi looked at each other, and made their way to the source of the noise. But they were stopped by a laughing Sanmita, “Guys, stop here. There is a whole angry mob of women who realized they were being seen by an old man.”

Marrik asked warily, “What did you do?” to which Sanmita grinned, “I henged into a towel wearing lady, went in the bath, and then started screaming, ‘someone is watching!’ Well, rest is History….” Kalina and hinata burst out with laughter, and the two men winced, feeling pity for the Old sannin. After a few moments, when they could hear no more of the riot, the five of them went to the Bathhouse, only to see Jiraiya lying face down, sporting his trademark nosebleed.

“Jiraiya sama?” The hokage said softly, and the figure started to rise up. The white haired man stabled himself, and then turned towards the group, “Yes.” He wiped the blood off his nose, “Sorry for my appearance. Aaah too bad they found out, I was planning to write another novel for Icha Icha before I went back to world of dead.” Sanmita jaw dropped, “Really? Oh man….” She grumbled, and Jiraiya looked at her with confusion. Renshi spoke up, “She is an Icha Icha fan sir.” Jiraiya blinked, and then laughed, “What really! This beautiful girl likes my writing? Aah it’s a pleasure to see a girl appreciating a true work of art!”

Kalina made a disgusted sound, and Jiraiya snapped out his staring from Sanmita. He looked at the whole group, and when his eyes fell upon Hinata, his eyes widened, “You are that Hyuuga princess, the one who followed Naruto. Hinata, right?” Hinata nodded, “Yes.” Jiraiya shook his head, “Oh boy, so you five were the ones I have been told to kill. God damn it…I really regret meeting you in this…circumstance. Those damn bastards Kabuto and Madara, to think they will force me to kill those who are here to let my cause living.” Jiraiya looked at them regretfully, “I am sorry, I must kill you. He has realized you are here, and I can feel my conscience slipping away. But before I am completely lost, Hinata, how is Naruto? And you, my dear, who are you?”

Hinata replied, “Naruto is fine. He became Hokage, seventh one, and stepped down in order to find the Hidden Whirlpool. He and I are married now.” Sanmita replied, “I am Sanmita Kazuki. My mother was from hidden whirlpool, Karen Amaya. I am...the successor of the will of fire.” Jiraiya smiled, “Karen’s daughter…Nagato and Naruto’s only surviving relative. I know what you are hiding from me….you are the last child of Prophecy…aren’t you?” Sanmita nodded, and Jiraiya closed his eyes, “It is an honor to die, again, by the hands of such a beauty…you have nice curves my dear.” His face became a blank mask, and when he opened his eyes, they were dead.

“He is no more Jiraiya sama…get ready! Sanmita, snap out of it, NOW!” Marrik told the blushing girl, and she nodded. The five of them spread around the Toad sannin. Sanmita activated Hanatsuki, and changed Suzume into a spear. “He specializes in long range fire attacks and Earth releases. He can also do sealing, go into sage mode. But, due to the fact he needs elder toads to do it, he might still not able to finish it off. That will give us a small advantage. Amongst us all, Sanmita and Kalina are our advantages, since they are the elementals of the opposing nature. Fight with all you got!” Hinata screamed, and the other four nodded.

“Let us start with a bang. Ice release: Frost bite!” Sanmita screamed, and freezing wind blew straight at Zombie-Jiraiya. He made seals, and then launched a giant Fireball attack, creating a lot of Fog. Meanwhile, Hinata and Marrik used byakugan to see in the fog. Hinata took Gentle fist style, “Eight trigrams: Three-Hundred-Sixty-One Palms.” Hinata’s hands blurred, and she attacked all the tenketsu in Jiraiya’s body. Meanwhile, Marrik did the handseals, “Lightening Blade” he launched his Jutsu on the Sannin. The Jutsu, however did not have any effect. Jiraiya replied, “It is no use, Hyuuga. While Hinata’s attacks have rendered my chakra temporarily unavailable, your attacks will not have much effect on me. Oodama Rasengan” The attack threw both the Hyuuga. Hinata slammed into a trew, bleeding, while Marrik was thrown back to Renshi, who tried to cushion him from damage. Marrik muttered, “Damn. I won’t keep up longer…”

Sanmita however, was thinking. She needed to do something to make sure Jiraiya was not able to use any offense or defense, even if for a split second. She immediately took her mp3 out, “Guys, move back a little. I will fight him.” “That is a good idea, distract him till I gather enough Chakra to use reverse…”Marrik said, but Sanmita cut in, “No. Your reverse reanimation consumes your life energy, doesn’t it. I am sorry Hokage sama, but for sake of my sensei, I must make sure you live long. I will try to seal him myself. If I fail, then do whatever you wish to do.” Marrik tried to argue, but Renshi stopped him, “Let her do this, Hokage sama. She knows what she is getting into.”

Sanmita, meanwhile, had gone into Uzu no ha stance. Plugging in her earphones, she closed her eyes. She changed Suzume’s shape into a leash. She pressed the mp3 open. The music began, “Green beast, huh? Very well…..” She closed her eyes, and suddenly, vanished. The other four just stared. She was moving constantly, like a spin top, like a disc. She kicked, her punch slammed into Jiraiya’s face. She used Suzume to circle the Sannin’s neck, and plunged Hanatsuki deep inside him. The sight was gruesome, but the spectators could not keep their eyes off the Kazuki. Jiraiya was faster, but Sanmita’s rhythm threw him off balance. He managed to land some nasty blows, but none of them were enough to stop the Kunoichi. The music changed, so did the girl’s moves, till Jiraiya was finally surrounded fully by her leash. “Kalina sensei, use that technique to bind him.” Kalina nodded, and went through seals, “Water release: Water Dragon Whip” as she bound him, and Sanmita took out her Shamisen. “Musical art: Death note” As Jiraiya’s eyes went blank. Sanmita jumped right behind Jiraiya closed her eyes, and then started going through seals. Her hands were blurred due to the speed, but it took her about 15 full seconds to finish the seal sequence. She bit her finger, and then wrote ‘Death’ in Kanji. “After I am finished, someone hold me, because this is bound to exhaust me, ok?” Sanmita called out, and then said in loud voice, “Forbidden Celestial Technique: Seal of the Underworld!” The blood Kanji expanded, till it was pulsating purple in color, and started absorbing Jiraiya. Sanmita’s knees buckled, trying to maintain the seal. Kalina, who stood nearby, was knocked off by sheer force of Jutsu, and hit her head hard. When the sealing was over, Sanmita fell down on her knees and coughed out a little blood. Renshi rushed to catch the girl. “Sanmita, hey…Are you alright?” Sanmita just stammered, “I didn’t know it would be so powerful. I am fine, but Kalina sensei…” Renshi looked up, and saw Marrik had already picked Kalina up, and Hinata had also healed her injuries, “Everyone is fine Sanmita. Hokage sama as got Kalina sama. You were brilliant.” Sanmita cracked a smile, “I don’t feel brilliant. Holding that seal was like holding a thousand kilos of hot iron with my bare hands. Ughh.”

Sanmita passed out just lying in Renshi’s arm, and Renshi picked her up. “What do we do now?” he asked, and Hinata spoke up without letting the Hokage say anything, “I suggest we keep moving. Marrik, you carry Kalina. Renshi, please carry Sanmita. We will camp somewhere at the end of the day. Hopefully, one of them would have gained consciousness by then. Seeing that our healer is also out, that is the best option.”

Marrik raised an eyebrow, “But you are also a healer…” Hinata, however cut in, “I used my chakra healing myself. I don’t think I will be able to heal any of them without passing out myself.” Marrik nodded. “Okay. Next on our list is Niidaime. I received a hawk from one of my spies in Taki that they had spotted someone who resembles Niidaime near Sekai lake. We will head there.” The three nodded an affirmative.

Renshi, during his journey, was trying hard not to notice the way Sanmita cuddled into him, her hand on his chest, other draped over his neck. He also tried to avoid the way her face was pressed onto his biceps. But the problem was, he DID notice. Hinata had her byakugan on, and was grinning like a Cheshire cat all the while, seeing the poor guy’s discomfort. ”Kalina, you are missing so much… Hinata mused. Suddenly, Sanmita sighed, her breath tickling Renshi, “What the??” And Sanmita started her infamous (well not actually infamous) sleep talking. “mmmm..Yeah Jiraiya sensei..thank you for signing all my books….mmmmh….ne ne Koko kun, don’t run around without your pants off, or nii chan is gonna get angry….hmmm…mhmm…Kalina Sensei, I am sorry for spoiling that dress, but don’t make me wear this, it looks like a swimsuit with a jacket for godsake…mmh”

Now, her sleep talking had different reactions. Renshi’s eyes looked as if they will fall out any moment, Marrik jawdropped, and Hinata started giggling with her eyes wide. The last straw came when the sleeping girl blurted out,”…yea yea Renshi, I admit that you are a great guy, don’t make me say that again….” Renshi blushed, Hinata giggled out louder, and Marrik fought an urge to smack his head. In hurry, Renshi tried to cover her mouth by turning her face towards his chest, but not before he heard the words so light, that they were barely a whisper, out of the girl’s sleeping self, “ I like you… ”

Renshi damm near dropped Sanmita when she spoke those words out of her sleep. "Careful Renshi!" Renshi blushed at the fact of what he just heard. "Hey, The Second is one of the Founding Fathers of the Leaf, Along with his brothers Hashirama and Madara." "This is going to be much harder than all the rest of these fights." "I think, I should fight Nidaime on equal terms. It will be a true test to see if I am worthy to hold the title of Storm Sage; since I would have to master Lightning and Water Ninjutsu." Renshi and Hinata nodded and they proceeded out of The Grass Village. Marrik then suddenly stopped short and said "It will take months to reach Taka from here, because we are near the grass village." Renshi nodded and asked Hokage sama a question. "Say, we should make a stop at a curb galleria, there we can by a teleportation scroll inside Taka." Hokage nodded and said "Alright which is the closest Galleria?" Renshi thought for a second and said "Its one just up ahead, I remember I was scouting for a mission you gave me and I found it." Marrik, Hinata, and Renshi ran towards the Galleria and once they reached there destination, Marrik and Renshi placed the girls up under a huge tree and asked Hinata to keep watch while they go inside. The two males went inside and looked around for The Teleportation scrolls. "Found it, I see one left that says Taka." Marrik then laughed and said "Well grab it! And grab one that says Buddapest Desert." Renshi followed his orders and then asked "What next." "Get some bottles of water and some snakes and a holding scroll and meet me at the register." Marrik went to the register and waited for Renshi. "Hmm, Five bags of Mixed Chipotle, Five Bottles of Water, the Holding Scroll." Renshi walked towards the register when he stopped and picked up a box and kept going. "Alright, place them on the counter so he can ring them up." Hokage then picked up the box and said "Renshi!! What are you thinking! We dont have time for this !" Renshi then shrugged his shoulders and said "We deserve SOMETHING for our hard work.." "Plus, its a long way till we can use the teleportation scroll." "And, Itll be fun..." Renshi then smiled at Hokage and hoped he would agree. "Gah, You put me through hell, you know that?" Renshi then replied "Its my job Lord Hokage." "I guess it could be fun..." "Dont let the girls see that though, or it will be trouble..." Renshi nodded and said "Way ahead of you." Renshi then placed all the items in the holding scroll, lastly placing the box which read "Sensational Ninjas" "The perfect condom for a well endowned ninja...." "Condom gives warm and sensational feeling with a random flavor inside."
"Marrik looked at Renshi as he read the box and rapidly put it in the holding scroll and exited the store. "Im married you know, So I know its only one person I can use that on." "And if you try anything with Hinata-sama, You might just find out what it means to be The Legendary Fourth Hokage's Son..." "I know that, I bought them because.. Sanmita." "I see, when this is all over with hopefully you guys can spend some time together." Marrik walked outside to where the females were still unconcious. Marrik picked up Kalina and Renshi picked up Sanmita and they walked the long road toward Taka. "We can use the teleportation scroll when we get to Naruto Bridge that borders the Land of Waves." The awaken shinobi nodded and ran down the road with purpose...

Renshi was...nervous. One word to sum up what he was feeling at this moment. With the girl he loved in his arm, snoring and sprouting a little bit idiotic stuff in her sleep, snuggling in his chest. His mind went overdrive with unbidden thoughts of how he was going to hold her, touch her...God, he needed to stop before his thoughts became nosebleed worthy.

He had taken a bold course of action by buying those....those...well, stuff. And now, when he thought about why he had bought it in the first place, he felt his face heating up. It was his first time for crying out loud!! And from whatever he had deduced about the girl, she did not have a long record on it either.

Scratch nervous...he was maddeningly sweating-bullets kind of nervous right now.

He could feel that...thing he bought burning in his pocket. Sometimes, he really wished to barge in the girls tent, hold her, take of her dress and.....and...he refused his imagination to go further. He needed to be prepared. He needed to know more. First, he needed to propose to her. Then, he needed to make her say that she liked him when she was fully awake, not mumbling in sleep. Then, he will have to take it up to first kiss stage (Yes, even one of the Konoha heartbeats never got his first kiss, God must be laughing right now) Then, he will proceed to dating phase, and then the turn for the thing will come.

That was the plan...a plan He always got too near to cheat on. The route to Wave was long, and Sanmita did not recover till they were halfway the place. She had blushed when Hinata told how Renshi had carried her all the way.

She looked so cute when she blushed.

And then...the two devils-in-disguise-of-his-superiors'-wives women. God, he could swore that they wanted him to go out of control. The wardrobe they had given for Sanmita...it was too revealing. Their work, somehow, always landed them up together, alone, completely unsupervised. It was all thanks to Sanmita's naivete that they had come out of the tough corners. Something had to be done...soon.

They reached the wave in four days. As soon as they reached the portal point, Marrik took out his scroll, "All four of you, I want you to remain away from this fight, if possible. Do not come to my aid. This is going to be a fight between two Hokage, and I wish to prove my worth. Help only if things go out of hand, and by that I mean if I am incapacitated." Kalina whimpered, and Sanmita said with Horror, "But...you can't die!!" To which, the man just laughed, "I said 'incapacitated', not dead. Save me, cheer for me. Okay?" The four of them nodded reluctantly, and the Hokage pulled out the scroll, kept it on the stand.. He pulled out the ingredients, and used them in the instructed manner. When he was over, the scroll started pulsating, and suddenly, Light engulfed the five of them.

They landed face-first on hard stone, and Marrik looked up. "We are in Taki?" he looked at the glittering beach, and a voice from behind said, "Yes. And I presume, you are here to fight me." The Konoha shinobi whirled around to see a man with a typical head protector, and wearing blue Samurai suit. "I am sorry, fellow Hokage. This is the second time I am sent to destroy what I envisioned for my world. I was one of the strongest shinobi, but now, I have to be a puppet of filth."
Marrik nodded,"I hope you will forgive us if we fight Hokage sama, I only wish that we may finally be able to live without fear of Madara and his cronies." Niidaime nodded, "Yes." He went into his stance, and his eyes went dead, "Let's fight, Hokage!"

Hokage stood there in shock thinking about what he had to do, when Tobirama-sama came at him with a swift kick to his rib cage. "Gah !" Hokage fell to the ground and rubbed his ribs. "Gosh, I forgot that the brothers were taijutsu specialist as well." "I wonder how I would fair against Hashirama." The Hokage rose up as Nidiame struck Hokage from behind and he fell back down. "Even if I activated my byakugan, I doubt it would do much good, because even if I can see when hes about to attack, I cant block his taijutsu." "The Founder's taijutsu was different from normal taijutsu, It was strong armed and unpredictable, and yet to mention very painful." Marrik stood up and hoped Nidiame would try and strike him again, which he did; and Marrik swung his foot and made Nidaime fall to the ground. Marrik got up and got his distance between the formidable Hokage. Both of us began to make hand symbols and both of us shouted out simutainously "Water Style: Water Shark Missle Technique!" The sharks collided and exploded in a pool of water, which drenched Tobirama and Marrik together. In that instant, Marrik made another set of hand symbols and said "Water Style: Violent Water Wave!" Marrik put a hand over his mouth and made a small hole and he began to blow inside the hole and a huge wave of water started to flow out, aimed at Tobirama. Nidaime instantly threw up one hand symbol and said "Water Style: Water Wall!" Marrik's attack had been deflected, but that was what he was hoping for. Marrik kept spitting out the water and with his other hand began making symbols. Once done, Marrik said "Lightning Release: Lightning Surge!" Marrik held his hand beside the spitting water current and it merged with his water and flow, shocking the hell out of Tobirama. Marrik then stopped both jutsus and grabbed four shuriken out of his pocket and inserted his lightning release chakra inside of them. He then jumped high and threw the shuriken at Tobirama, landed back on the ground and ran towards him, making hand symbols and finally screaming "Ninja Art: Shadow Shuriken Manipulation!" The shuriken then began to multiply in midair. It was about fifty sharp shuriken headed toward Tobirama. Tobirama just stood there watching the shuriken. "What int he hell? How does he expect to dodge those!" Then, Tobirama slid his right foot into the dirt and slanted it some, and with a quick motion, he moved his right hand across his face and nothing happened. When the shuriken got close enough, a huge wave of water emerged in front of Nidaime and blocked them all. "Alright, thats no ordinary water ninjutsu. He truely is the master of the water element." "Stop toying with me Tenth Hokage.!" "Your throwing academy and genin ninjutsu at me!" "Hes right, im throwing childs play ninjutsu at him." "I wont get anywhere doing this, the only way to stop him is to go all out." "Sanmita and the others can take care of themselves until I heal from the wounds im about to recieve." Marrik slowly took the scroll off of his back that he carries around with him. Quickly, Marrik made a hand sign and said "Lightning Clone Jutsu!" Three clones then appeared and charged toward Tobirama with murderous intent. Marrik threw the scroll down on the ground and searched for a particular jutsu. "Found it, Only one clone left, gotta hurry. Marrik began making the hand symbols and one of the clones folded the scroll back up and placed it on Marrik's back. Marrik disarmed the Lightning clones and said "Byakugan!" Then, Marrik screamed out to the heavens in pain. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" "Black Byakugan !!" Something amazing has just happened. Marrik's long silver hair was now pitch black along with his silver goatee was also pitch black. Instead of his Byakugan eyes being all white, they were now all black, like a dark hole of nothingness. "Second Lord Hokage, Forgive me, But this is your end." Sanmita and the others watched in amazement as Marrik's chakra sky rocketed to the roof. "You shall meet your end now." "What is that jutsu! What happened to Lord Hokage." "Sanmita, Marrik is a Hyuuga as you know." "But, a while ago, after Kakashi Sensei's death, Marrik went out training." "He pushed himself to his very limit. And when he reached that limit, he broke his limit and set a new standard or mark for himself mentally, physically, and emotionally." "When Marrik's limit was pushed even higher, he unlocked a secret of The Hyuuga Clan that has never been seen before." "The Black Byakugan..." "The only person in history to unlock such a dojutsu was Marrik." "The Black Byakugan is a heightned form of the Byakugan." "The user's Taijutsu is untamed, raw and highly powerful." "The user's defense is unbreakable." "When the user casts a ninjutsu, its power is greatly enhanced ten fold." "The users chakra becomes raw and immense, its so powerful that if the user even charged his or her chakra or let it burst out, it would be considered deadly." "Marrik even created an upgraded version of the Gentle Fist, called Jagged Fist." "In this stage, Marrik's taijutsu easily surpasses both The First and Second Hokages." Sanmita looked at Marrik and back at Kalina in a state of shock. "Wow, he looks amazing, he looks so strong, his chakra is so fierce, its so heavy." "There have to be consenquences for such a dojutsu." Kalina nodded and said "Yes, after Marrik is done, he will most likely collapse and he will be paralyzed from the neck up for about two days. His immune system will be defenseless." "That last for about two days and then hes back to normal." "How long can Marrik hold that state?" "Marrik can hold the Black Byakugan for about an hour minimum or and hour and thirty minutes maximum." Kalina, Sanmita, Renshi, and Hinata then turned back to watch the fight. "Come at me Second Lord Hokage!" Tobirama charged at Marrik and prepared to kick him directly in the face. But when Tobirama got near Marrik, he took a deep breath and screamed. "HAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Marrik's chakra exploded and knocked back Nidaime into the ocean about a half a mile away." Then, Marrik vanished into thin air. "Byakugan!" Hinata activated her Byakugan so she could find Marrik, and she spotted him and Tobirama fighting on top of the ocean. "He must of used The Flying Thunder God Technique." Marrik then got in his Jagged Fist Stance and said "Eight Trigrams Sixty Four Palms!" Below Marrik, his division appeared stretching out at least five yards. "There is no escape from this!" Once Marrik's division appeared, he moved faster than sound and bombarded Tobirama with a variety of punches and kicks; each draining his chakra and shutting down his Chakra Pathway System. After the jutsu was over, Nidaime stood brused, bleeding, and beaten down. "Forgive me Second Lord Hokage." Marrik then made a single hand seal and pulled his right palm back. "Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm!" Marrik thrusted his palm forward and blew Tobirama back towards the beach and off of the water. Tobirama flew threw the air and landed hard on the sand and rocks below. "My god, his power, his chakra, its unimaginable." Tobirama laid on the sand and threw up a hand seal. "Genjutsu: Infinite Darkness Jutsu!" The whole beach became enraveled in a darkness thet no person could see through. Somehow, Marrik and Tobirama saw threw it just fine. Then, a huge spinning shuriken ball then started to appear in someone's hand. "Look! Thats Marrik's Lightning Shuriken Rasengan!" Marrik then held the rasengan firmly as it sparked with lightning inside the rasengan and around its shuriken form. Marrik then raised his oppisite hand and said "Flying Thunder God Jutsu!" Marrik then dissappeared and reappeared behind Nidaime. Again, Marrik dissappeared and reappeared once more on the side of Nidaime. This process kept repeating until Nidaime kept looking around to try and figure where Marrik would appear next. But little did Tobirama know that Marrik had already threw the Lightning Shuriken Rasengan at him. Marrik moved so fast that it looked as if the image of Marrik holding the Lightning Shuriken Rasengan was still there, and moving rapidly from place to place. Marrik stood behind Sanmita and the others without them knowing watching the image moving around faster than sound even though he had stopped using The Flying Thunder God Technique. "See guys, Thats the power of The Legendary Fourth Hokage. He moves so fast you would think he is still there." Sanmita and the others jumped at Marrik's voice even though they couldnt see him. Then, they all heard a loud scream and bolts of lightning bombarded one specific spot in the darkness before the light came back. "Lord Hokage, that was amazing." "Yeah Marrik, that was spectacular." "Nice job Hokage-sama." "Thank you guys..." Marrik walked toward the body of Tobirama to begin sealing it when his body collapsed to the ground and Kalina ran and picked him up. "Sanmita, seal Tobirama please." "Renshi, come pick Marrik up and carry him." "Once your done Sanmita, we shall move out to the next target..." "Marrik, you did wonderful..." "I cant be more proud of you, for being so strong willed, and for being my student." "Huh, whos there?" Everyone looked around to try and find the mysterious voice that congradulated Marrik on his job well done. Renshi then said to himself, "Thank You Kakashi Sensei..." Sanmita began sealing Tobirama and sending him back to the world of the dead...

Sealing Tobirama was not as big a hassle as sealing Jiraiya had been, may be because this time, Sanmita did not fight at all. However the pressure was enough to knock her out for a good three hours and render her tired for next few days. Renshi, of course, complained that he would rather carry Marrik, who was now slumped over Hinata's shoulders. But Hinata did not hand him over to the poor boy, till Sanmita was able to run properly, which took about seven hours.

"Our next target is Kazekage...." Sanmita muttered, and then looked over the group. She was surprised when she saw Kalina staring at Marrik with an expression of...amusement? "Sensei, what happened? Why are you giving this weird look to Hokage sama?" Sanmita asked, and Kalina laughed, "I wonder....do you know Marrik lost his parents in Oto invasion?" Sanmita nodded, and Kalina replied, "It was Fourth Kazekage's fault that the mess was so devastating. He allied with Orochimaru. Now when Marrik is going to fight with the man who was partially responsible for demise of his parents, I wonder how will he react..." Sanmita looked over the Hokage and replied, "We don't need to care about that right now. First, we need to find the fourth Kazekage...and we are stumped. None of us has received any info on the man. We don't know how he looks like or anything. History records don't show him in good light because he had sealed a bijuu in his own son, and tried to mold him into a weapon. He is like a tabooed subject."

Suddenly, there was a static, and Kalina looked over to Marrik's bag. There she saw a small microphone. "We had totally forgotten about the second group!" She exclaimed, and switched it on. A loud baritone came up amongst the static, "Hey, Naruto in...Naruto In. Is anyone here?" Kalina spoke, "We are here, Naruto san." "Oh, goodie. We were just checking up on you. We have managed to defeat Tsunade baa-chan, Old man Hokage and Haku. I thought...it would be easier..." His voice broke, it was obvious he had been holding tears back, but he continued," We are going towards Nagi right now. I swear I saw piranhas attacking my pillowcase. That was awful!!!"

Almost everyone cracked up, and despite the paralysis, even Marrik cracked a smile. Renshi just chuckled. Kalina managed out, "Yes they do have a nasty habit of eating pillowcases" another bout of laughter. Naruto growled, and they all tried to suppress their chuckles. Sanmita took the microphone, "Naruto san, that is good. We have sealed the other two Sannin, and Niidaime. We are searching for fourth Kazekage however."

Naruto seemed to think a little, "I don't know much about Gaara's old man, but what I do know is he looked like Kankuro, without that makeup. Where are you right now."

"We are in Taka, near fire country borders" Sanmita repied, and Naruto spoke up, "That's brilliant. Search for Gaara. The Lazy bum shikamaru is telling me that Temari and others are currently in red sands, where Chiyo obaa-chan lived. God I wonder when these two are going to get married." There was a small mutter from behind, which distinctly sounded like, 'What a drag' Naruto's voie turned a little annoyed, "Yea Yea Shikamaru, we know everything is a drag for you. In any case...wait, what was I saying? Aaah yes..Search for Gaara, that puppet freak and Temari, maybe you will get a clue about the fourth Kazekage's location from them."

Sanmita looked puzzled, "Why do you say that?" and Naruto replied quizzically, "You haven' noticed? The reanimations are placed exactly where their abilities work best, or the places they preferred the most. Tsunade baa-chan was in a town famous for its Casino. Old man was in a town where the land was fertile, and there was a small volcano nearby. He gave us a hard time, that old man. The people there are till excavating their house. Oh and Haku was in mist, near a small sea. He was thrice as powerful there as he was when I fought him. Oh and Nagi has plenty rainforests, which is why First is there I think..."

Sanmita's mind was running, "Orochimaru was in a cave in grass, where his sword had originated. Jiraiya sama was found peeping in a female bath....and Niidaime was on a beach..." "Wait..ero-sennin was peeping. That old pervert could not find any better place? God, even death has not taught him a thing!"

Sanmita laughed, and then said, "Thank you Seventh sama, for telling us this. We will search for Gaara sama and his siblings." Naruto paused, and then spoke softly, "Hey, is Hina there? I need to talk to her." Sanmita looked up, and saw Hinata had turned her face, and was shaking obviously in tears, "Yes she is here. I am giving microphone to her." Sanmita came upto Hinata, and handed her the microphone as she mouthed 'Talk to him' Hinata nodded, and took the microphone. She walked a little bit away, and the other four did not dare to try hearing anything, respecting their privacy. A little while later, Hinata approached them, her eyes full of tears but lips curved up in a smile. The other two females grinned up at her and Kalina let out a squeal, "Two love birds, separated in war, carrying out their duties but not letting their love die. Oh that is soo Romantic!!!" Hinata laughed. "Yes, it sure is romantic", Sanmita spoke up, smiling all the while.

They rested for that night, and the next day, started their Journey towards wind country. They reached Red sands the next night. By then, Marrik's paralysis wore off, "Where to find Gaara sama now?" Sanmita asked, and Marrik shook his head, "I am sure we can ask anyone of them. The red sands has a ninja academy, I think we will start our search from there." They asked the way for the academy, and as they neared the place, they heard a female voice, "You baka, How many times do I need to tell you? YOUR PUPPETS ARE NOT LIVING THINGS!! You are freaking out all the brats here. Get the hell outta here before I throw you lameass puppets into the nearest thrash bin!!" A quiet voice came, "Temari, you are scaring the children too. Keep that Fan down."

"It sure is...lively here." Sanmita managed, and Marrik looked at her, "It indeed is. And from the looks of it, I don't think we will have to search for the siblings now. I can recognize his voice anywhere." Sanmita looked at him, "Huh?" and Marrik replied, "This is the voice of the High commander of the Fourth war. He is your predecessor Sanmita." The girl groaned, "Please don't remind me." while other looked confused, "What do you mean Gaara is her Predecessor?" Hinata asked, and Sanmita groaned. Marrik rose her eyebrow, "You didn't tell them?" and Sanmita snapped, "I forgot. I still don't understand why the heck did you give me THAT position, I am not a super-shinobi, or Kunoichi for that matter." the girl mumbled, and a look of realization dawned on Renshi's face, "You mean...you are the High commander in this war?!" Sanmita sighed, and nodded.

Hinata gasped.

Kalina Jaw dropped.

Renshi...well he looked damn near to faint any moment.

Sanmita rolled her eyes, "They are reacting as if I have grown a hundred limbs and another head." "Look, it is just a post for me. An honor I really didn't deserve. Me being High commander doesn't change anything. Please guys, don't react like this." Sanmita begged, literally, and little by little, the three of them relaxed. Marrik was watching the whole thing with amusement and, and laughed when the three of them recovered from their shocks. "Let us go in now? I bet High commander would love to meet his successor." Marrik laughed at Sanmita's expression of disapproval. Nevertheless, the five of them went inside the academy to meet the fifth Kazekage Gaara, The Red Puppeteer Kankuro, and the Wind Mistress of Suna, Temari.

The shinobi walked inside and bowed to the three Sand siblings. "I know why your here Lord Hokage." Kankuro stepped forward and looked Hokage dead in the eyes. "Im sorry.." Marrik held his head down, but then lifted it up and spoke, saying "Where is he now?" "Gaara then came to Marrik and said "Dead.." "He entered the village and began destroying everything in sight." "I was alerted to this, I took him on, Murdered him in cold blood and was done with it..." Marrik gave a look of shock and happiness at the same time. "So that means, We dont need to look for him because youve already defeated and sealed him away?" "Correct Lord Hokage..." Sanmita and Renshi glanced at Temari as she taught the little ones about hand symbols. "Alright then, Seems fair." Marrik shook the Kazekage's hand and asked "Will you be still helping us out when Madara attacks ?" Gaara actually cracked a smile and said "I wouldnt miss it for the world." Marrik proceeded out of the academy, followed by Sanmita, Kalina, Renshi, and Hinata. "Marrik, are you ok?" Marrik then gave a hasty and rude responce, "Kalina Im Fine.." Marrik walked rapidly, at a faster pace than everyone else. "Marrik is depressed." "I told you, his father died during The Oto Invasion." "Marrik's mother died when Marrik became a Jonnin. She died of a mysterious disease that killed her in her sleep." Renshi then cleared his throat and kept speaking. "He told me that everyone that he cared about was dead, except Kalina and myself." "Marrik's father was Hotaru Hyuuga of the Hyuuga Main Branch." "He had been instructed by The Third Hokage before the invasion to gather intelligence on Orochimaru's movements." 'Hotaru did just that, and he gathered enough information to start a war between Grass and Konaha." "Hotaru was on the way to deliver the information to The Third, when Orochimaru spotted him and killed him with his own blade." "Hotaru never made it back to the village, and Orochimaru invaded and killed The Third..." "Marrik was devastated by that, along with his mother's death." "Marrik was at Kakashi Sensei's side along with me when he died at the end of the Fourth Great Shinobi World War." "He is in a great deal of pain..." "You have to excuse the way he acts..." Sanmita then gave a sad look on her face. "Thats terrible.. Hes been through so much, but yet he is still so strong." Renshi smiled at Sanmita's statement and replied, "Heh, Thats because Marrik has such a strong will." "If he says hes not going to let anything happen to the village he fights so hard to protect, then he wont." "By any means necessary, even his life." The shinobi kept walking until it got dark, and then camped in a nearby forest close to the Forest of Death. "We shall reach Konaha in the morning, but for now, we camp here." "Tomorrow, we shall start searching for the next Reanimated Shinobi." The shinobi setted up camp and began to unpack their items. Renshi then glanced across at Sanmita's tent as he mistakenly saw her getting undressed and into her sleeping attire. "Wow, shes so beautiful.." Renshi left his tent and walked over to Sanmita's tent and knocked on the flap. Sanmita poked her head out and looked around, "Renshi, whats the matter? Whats going on?" "Renshi looked at her and replied, "Nothing, Just wanted to talk to you.." "Can I come in?" Sanmita blushed and said 'I guess so.." Renshi entered Sanmita's tent and sat down on the floor. "Sanmita, I was wondering, when all this is over, and the war has ended, what do you intend to do?" Sanmita looked at the scrolls behind her and said "Keep training, and maybe get a job at the Academy." A stunned Renshi then spoke saying, "Oh ok, you'd make a great teacher." "Ever plan on----" Renshi looked out of the tent and said "Going on a date...?" Sanmita cackled at Renshi's statement and responded. "Oh ok..." Sanmita then said "Renshi, now what is the real reason your in here?" "Just to hang out.." "I see." Sanmita then leaned forward and closed her eyes and leaned in and kissed Renshi on the lips. "Well, hows that for hanging out?" Then, Sanmita layed down on her bed inside the tent and pulled out a book and began to read it. Renshi was in a state of shock. He didnt know what to say.. Let alone do. So, Renshi leaned down next to Sanmita and read the book with her. "Interested in Icha Icha?" "Ive read a couple.." Sanmita then looked in Renshi's light blue ocean colored eyes and smiled. "You should try reading them some more sometime..." She than began to kiss Renshi again on the lips, but this time holding it for a few seconds. Renshi then broke away and said "Why do you keep doing this?" "Well because, for one, this is kinda what you wanted, for two, because Ive kinda wanted to to that for a while now." Sanmita smiled and Renshi blushed. Renshi and Sanmita then leaned in and kept kissing, until it looked like they were making out. Marrik walked out fo his tent to see if Sanmita wanted to spar before bedtime, but as he peeped inside the tent, he saw what was transpiring. "Awah, Ill leave her alone." Marrik smiled and walked back to his tent. Sanmita and Renshi were still laying on her bed making out. "Hmm, I wonder whats gonna happen next..." Renshi's mind ran frenzy as he thought about all the things that could happen...

Zabuza of mist, one of the seven Legendary swordsmen responsible for killing the then Mizukage. He was known for silent assassination, earning him title of demon of the mist.

Sanmita was feeling a thrill; fighting a legendary swordsman when she herself was a sword mistress? Oh, how dearly she wanted that. "How much further is this forest?" she asked impatiently for umpteenth time that day, and Marrik rolled his eyes, " Less than an hour Sanmita. Don't be so impatient.." "I cant help it, we are talking about THE zabuza momochi, one of the strongest Kenjutsu specialist!!" Suddenly, mist started to gather, and Marrik whispered, "We are near. This mist is charged by Chakra, Byakugan won't be much use. WATCH OUT!" The group ducked, and suddenly, a giant sword flew over them.

"Now that scene is quite similar, Konoha shinobi ducking from my sword's swing. Same situation, just characters are different." A bandaged man jumped down, and Sanmita's eyes widened, "Momochi san!!!" Zabuza raised his barely visible eyebrow, "Momochi san? Girl, that is the first time I have received any degree of respect from someone who is going to fight me. Who are you?"

Sanmita smiled, "My name is Sanmita Kazuki. Nice to meet you." Zabuza paused, his eyes flashed in surprise, but only for a millisecond. He simply said, "I hate that I have been revived by filth to kill you, because frankly speaking, I don't like to do anything for the heck of it, especially not someone...." He paused, and then looked at the group, "Well will you all fight, or you will come at me one by one?" Sanmita stepped forward, "I will fight sir. Well, it is an honor really, fighting with you." Zabuza laughed, "In my time, you would have been considered crazy for saying that girl." and Sanmita nodded, "I know what you did during your lifetime, but for me, someone who accepts his wrongdoing, and pays a price for it, deserves to be a hero. I know what you did at you last, and I believe that you have earned respect."

Behind the girl, the four of them were watching her with different expressions, but there one thing that was common in their expressions, Pride. Proud of themselves, proud of their village values, and proud of Sanmita. abuza asked, "So girl, how would you like to fight? Shinobi style, or Kenjutsu battle?"

Sanmita said, "Shinobi style." And activated Hanatsuki. Zabuza looked over the weapon, "You have one heck of a weapon. This will be...interesting. Water release: Water clone Jutsu." his clone sprang up, and Sanmita created two shadow clones. Zabuza's water clones engaged her clones in a fight, btneither of them survived, and Sanmita used Rasengan o them. "Impressive, that was your fourth Hokage's technique. A class, Rasengan. Very well, now we fight head on."

Zabuza took out his sword, and blurred. Sanmita raised Hanatsuki and it clashed with the swordsman's blade. She jumped behind, and took out Suzume. She changed it into a sword, and then, rushed at the mist nin. Blades clanged. Sanmita was being pushed back, "Damn...I need to use twin blade Sonata." she thought, and then dodged a swipe. She immediately deactivated Suzume, and took out her twin blades. She closed her eyes, and then, like a gush of wind, vanished. Zabuza stopped short, "What...?" when suddenly, he felt a strong Jab in his abdomen. He looked behind to see Sanmita had stabbed him. "Amaya secret Technique: Seventh cloud" Wisps of air started solidifying, and circled the missing nin. Sanmita jumped back, "Water release: Water dragon bullets" A huge dragon rose up, and launched water bullets, further distracting the man. As final straw, Sanmita went through seals, "Ice release: Frost Bite" Zabuza's feet started to freeze, and as he attempted to fight the Numbness, Sanmita went through her seals. She bit her finger, and then wrote a Kanji for death on Zabuza, " Goodbye Momochi san. I dearly hope you are not called upon like this ever again" Zabuza said, "Thank you." and Sanmita activted the Jutsu with a scream, "Forbidden Celestial release: Seal of the Underworld!" The same pulsating light came up, and soon, Zabua was gone too. Sanmita, as usual, passed out.

"Well, she managed to finish another one." Marrik said, shaking his head, as he saw Renshi picking her up, and Kalina rushing to heal her.

Perhaps Sanmita’s body was getting used to the stress caused by Seal of the Underworld technique, because this time, her faint-spell was very short as compared to previous ones. She was back on her feet the next day, sparing the four of them with some really distracting sleep talking. It was obvious that she thought consistently about her loved ones, as her sleep talk was always about her two cousins, Koko and Tenten, Konohamaru, her parents, and her current comrades. Of course, Renshi had started taking up quite a part of her sleep talk as well, and the other two women had teased the boy whenever Sanmita started describing the awesomeness of everything she loved to the boy in her sleep. Needless to say, Renshi’s face looked like a ripe apple the whole time he carried her.

His thoughts drifted back to the night before Zabuza’s fight. Well, had he not seen a small cut on his lips next morning, he would have passed that kiss to another one of his dreams. He blushed, remembering the way it felt. Despite being one of the most wanted men in Konoha (Kalina had shown him the ‘Konoha chick’ magazine once, he had been voted at top of ‘my ideal boyfriend’ list with 40% votes), Renshi had never given a thought of what his ideal girl would be. A longing was there, seeing Marrik and Kalina, some of his married or committed underlings, he always wondered how it was like. That night, for the first time, he came to know the feeling, and it was powerful. When they began kissing, he had intended it to be light, but self-control was the last thing in his mind when the girl’s arms were locked behind his head, securing her lips to his. However, soon the things got too far, and he snapped out, only to see a really ravished Sanmita staring up at him. A part of him felt smug at the way she looked, with her disheveled hair, swollen lips and wild eyes, but a larger part of him was horrified, knowing the things had gone too far, that his good intentions had flew out of the window during the course of the night. He opened his mouth to apologize, but was interrupted by a huge, goofy grin that appeared on the girl’s face as she said, “That was amazing……”

Renshi could have said a lot of intelligent things, but he managed out just one, “Huh?” and Sanmita laughed, “I had read how first kisses are supposed to be, they did not do any justice to how this…feels. I mean…I mean…I don’t even have words to describe how it felt.” Renshi looked at her, and a small smile came up on his lips, “You liked it? I thought, maybe it got too far….” Sanmita looked at his hand, which somewhere during their kissing session, had made its way inside her top, and grinned, “Well, ‘got too far’ would be an understatement. But I really didn’t mind. As long as we don’t do…umm..you know, the sex thing….” Sanmita blushed, “ It is fine…” Renshi seemed to think, and then smiled at her, “Well, that is acceptable. But…let me confirm things first.” Sanmita looked upto him, and he grinned, “First, tell me, do you like me?” Sanmita rolled her eyes, “Of course.” Renshi tsked, “No. You have to say it? Do you like me?”

The girl had turned cherry, “Do I really have to say that?” and Renshi smirked. “Okay…umm, I love you Renshi…” Sanmita mumbled, and Renshi felt his heart skip a beat, but he just smiled, “I had asked of ‘like’…but loving is acceptable. Now, does this mean, we are in relationship?” And Sanmita sighed, “Yes it does…. If..that is what you wish” The boy was smiling, “I do…and lastly, do you accept me as your boyfried, officially, from this moment on? And do you mind, if I consider you my girlfriend?” Sanmita was shaking with laughter, “Yes…I do. God, it looks more like marriage woes than anything.” Renshi looked at her, “Maybe, with time, we will commit ourselves with those too…” He rose up, and said, “Rest Sanmita. We have another fight, and I don’t think I should to deprive you from sleep, despite my wish to do so.” He winked, and Sanmita jawdropped, “Oh…before I forget, I love you too.” He gave her another kiss, and then went out of the tent.

Yes, that day was amazing, and he was itching to relive the experience. The girl was like a drug, after tasting, he could not get enough of her. But with Sanmita passed out, he could only dream of it. When she came back to consciousness, he had full plans of going in and well…doing the same thing again and again till the next fight. So Hokage’s words came as a big shock to him.

“I think we will separate for our next enemies.” Marrik had said, and Renshi heard his plans crashing, “Defeating them is a little timetaking, with Sanmita passing out after her sealing. It will be better if we split up, and defeat our next two targets. I and Renshi will go for Pein, we both know how he was. Sanmita, Kalina and Hinata will defeat Sasori. My guess is that he will be in fang country, where he had defected after killing the Kazekage of his time. His puppets are notorious for carrying poison, so please remain careful. Got it?” The other four nodded. “Good. We will stay here for tonight. Please decide who will take the watch amongst yourselves, umm Kalina, I need to talk to you.”

Hinata whispered to Sanmita, “That is his way of telling that Kalina will not take the watch tonight. He makes it so obvious…” she rolled her eyes, and Sanmita stifled a giggle. Kalina blushed, and rose up to follow Marrik inside the tent. The three left behind looked at each other, and Hinata knew that it is the last chance for Sanmita and Renshi to be together (of course, she did not know that the two of them had already BEEN together). She started thinking of something, and then, got an idea. She took out her tent, and then winced. “I forgot to tell Hokage sama. Umm, Sanmita, I am sorry. The tent I had…I was trying to put down my stuff while taking it off the ground, and my acid bottle fell on it. So you will have to share your tent.” Sanmita and Renshi felt their eyes widen as they understood what it meant, and Hinata added the final straw by saying, “I will take the first duty, and you two go and rest for now. It is obvious that Marrik will not share his tent with anyone but Kalina tonight.”

The other two nodded dumbly, and made their way to the tent. Once they were in, Sanmita managed out, “Umm…” but was stopped short when she felt Renshi’s lips crashing down on her. When they broke apart, Sanmita laughed, “You don’t waste any time, do you?” But Renshi grimaced, and Sanmita knew that something was wrong. Renshi looked at her, “Thinking that we are so close…that the final battle is coming up, I can’t help but think that this is the last moment we have got.” Sanmita seemed to think, and then, simply said, “We just have to win, and not let him kill us. End of the story.” Renshi looked at her, “Easy to say. The fight with Pein itself is going to drive Hokage sama to an edge, and I am not quite sure if we will live through it. I think that is why he chose to be with Kalina sama for tonight. It might be our last…” Sanmita glared at him, “Don’t you dare go dying, Renshi Haruno, and finish my First and probably last love story into underworld. You will be back, and you will be alive.” Then she smirked, “And don’t give me Hokage sama’s example. We both know what he is going to do with her, and I don’t think we can do that after barely 5 days of our relationship.” Renshi raised his eyebrow, and finally laughed. “You have a very interesting way of saying things, Sanmita Kazuki”, he said, and Sanmita shrugged. Then she looked at him, “Though for tonight, you are allowed to do what we did the other day,” she laughed at the incredulous expression on Renshi’s face, and kissed him on his lips. When the night fell, and they were finally tired with their kissing session, they fell asleep, with Sanmita resting her head on his arm. After a few moments, Hinata peeked in, and when she saw the two of them, her face broke into a huge smile, “Kalina, our mission Get-Sanmita-and-Renshi-together is successful.”

The next morning, Marrik woke everyone up and gathered them in the center of there camp. “Where is Renshi?” Sanmita looked around frantically trying to find Renshi, but to no avail. “It doesn’t matter, listen up.” “This morning, I received a message from the village.” “The five Daimyo were killed yesterday evening by Madara Uchiha in person.” “There also was a huge download in the Anbu Core Computer three days after Sanmita and I left for the Kage Summit almost two months ago.” “I have well reason to think to think that for the last three years, the events that have transpired have been …. Carefully executed.” Kalina then spoke up and said “Marrik, what do you mean?” Marrik turned around and faced his tent. “I mean, someone is not truly loyal to Konaha.” “Someone has betrayed this village for an unknown reason.” “I suspect who it is, but I can’t let myself believe that that person did it.” “With the Daimyo murdered and nobody left to instruct and lead the Five Great Nations, we are in grave danger.” Kalina then began to give Hokage a depressed look. “So, does this mean we are going back to the village and abandoning our mission?” Hokage nodded and replied “Yes Hinata-sama, we are headed back to the Leaf Village.” Sanmita squirmed around and blurted out “We have to find Renshi first…” “No Sanmita, He can find his way back to the village, if he is not here, he has left for a good reason.” Sanmita tried to reason and argue with Hokage but it didn’t change his mind. The shinobi packed their gear and headed out towards Konaha. “When we get to the village, I want all shinobi to gather in front of The Mansion, all civilians, children, and Leaf Ninja.” “Yes Lord Hokage.” Everyone responded to Hokage’s command and said not another word until they arrived to the village. Once at the village, Marrik went inside the mansion and changed into the Formal red and white Hokage uniform, completed with the hat. Kalina and Sanmita stood on top of the mansion rooftop, and Kalina stepped forward and spoke. “Presenting, The Tenth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village.” Everyone began to clap and make shouts of joy when Marrik stepped forward and in front of Sanmita and Kalina. There were many cries of “Lord Hokage!” “Tenth! Tenth! Tenth!” “Hokage-sama” “Yay! He’s back, Hokage is here!” “We are safe now!” The Storm Sage cleared his throat and spoke with a harsh and strong tone. “Citizens of the Leaf Village, I have disturbing news.” “Settle down please, and hear my voice.” Sanmita then screamed out “Hey!!!! Be quiet! You see he is trying to speak! How could you show no respect for your Hokage?” “You cheer for him so, but when he begins to speak you show no respect or desire in what he has to say.” Marrik looked down at his feet and lifted his head back up towards the crowd. “Yesterday evening, The Five presiding Daimyo were killed by a shinobi of legend and legacy.” “This shinobi wields the power to destroy nations single-handedly, and the power to corrupt anyone or anything with his might.” “As you know, Madara Uchiha attacked our village sometime ago and turned it to ruins.” “Many unfortunate events have occurred since then and have led to many mistakes and unworthy rulings.” “Because of the death of all Five Daimyo, there is no one alive that has the power, wisdom, or authority to instruct the Five Kages on what to do.” “A decision was thought about thoroughly and finally made.” “Because of Madara’s assaults on the numerous villages and because of his threatening power, we have made a decision.” “If Madara Uchiha’s power and wellness is left unchecked and uncounted for, The Five Great Nations will no doubly fall before our very eyes.” Marrik paused and took a deep breath, surely what he was about to say, would start riots and unruly screaming and yelling. “Under the direct order and command of the Five Kage of the Five Great Nations, I am declaring The Fifth Great Shinobi World War...” There were many screams and yells going throughout the large crowd. “I---“ Marrik wasn’t able to finish the rest of his sentence because of the loud screaming at Hokage. ““All ninja will----“Marrik looked at the people below as they screamed at him in displeasure and disrespect. Hokage thought to himself, “They don’t deserve this, they have been though so many wars and so much violence, and they deserve a moment of peace.” “They shouldn’t have to fight in a battle that is not theirs to fight; it’s my job as Hokage to fight this battle on their behalf.” “SILENCE!!!!!” Immediately, all the noises and loud ruptures were stopped and everyone looked at Hokage with a sense of fear and respect. “Every last shinobi in this village who can fight will be placed against the enemy.” “Every female and baby, or small child will be left in the village under the care of a directing Anbu Black Ops member.” “Madara Uchiha must be hunted down and destroyed! We will strike him down along with the other Four Great Nations and villages alike.” “Lives will be lost, and sides will be chosen.” “Any follower or ally of Madara Uchiha will be struck down and defeated in the name of The Five Great Nations.” “We have two days to prepare, all ninja must be ready, and we leave the village in two days.” “All females who cannot fight and all small children will be left in the village.” “You will be safe here under the protection of Elite ninja of Konaha.” “We will meet up with every other ninja who will fight against the enemy in three days, one day after we leave.” “Then, once everyone is together, The Five Kage will lead a march on the Uchiha Hideout which is now declared a village somewhere far from here.” “We fight for all who came before us, and the next generation.” “As Hokage, I will not fail to protect you that I promise to you along with my life.” Hokage then stepped away from the edge of the Mansion and Kalina dismissed everyone back to their homes. “Marrik, are you sure about this?” Marrik turned around and didn’t respond to Sanmita’s question, but instead went inside his office and slammed the door. Kalina approached Sanmita when she stood at Hokage’s door and said “Don’t worry about it, he will come along in time.” “For now, just train and get some rest for the days to come.” Sanmita nodded and walked toward her home. Kalina motioned towards the door and asked a hiding Naruto to come inside and walk her to get some ramen…

Marrik sat in his office making plans and arrangements with the other Kage about the war strategies. "Lord Kazekage, if I may..." Marrik rubbed his goatee and began to speak. "All the shinobi of our villages will go up against every summon that Madara has reanimated again." "We, The Five Kages along with two of our top shinobi of our respective villages will fight Madara himself." "We should leave a squad in the village to watch over the Children and the Ladies who cannot battle." "I want to take the fight to Madara before he brings it to us and destroys The Five Great Nations." "So all of our shinobi who can fight will go up against Madara's reanimations while we fight Madara?" Hokage nodded and said "That is right Lord Raikage." Marrik reached on his desk and read out over the phone, the list of all the shinobi that have been reanimated by Madara. "Zabuza Momochi, Haku, Orochimaru, The First Hokage, The Third Hokage, The Second Hokage, The Fourth Hokage, The Fifth Hokage, The Third and Fourth Kazekages, Sasori, Pein, Deidara, Itachi Uchiha, Izuna Uchiha, Sakumo Hatake, Hanzo of The Salamandar, Lord Jiraiya, Lady Chiyo, Sai's Brother, Hidan, Kakuzu, Asuma Sarutobi, The Entire Uchiha Clan, 1000 copies of Zetsu, and lastly All of the previous Jinjuriki." There was a brief moment of silence as the Kage thought about the fight that their shinobi would have on there hands. "Fellow Kage, many lives will be lost, and we will face destruction all throughout our land." "But we must stop Madara Uchiha at all cost." Raikage then responded and said "Then its settled, We shall march on The Uchiha Hideout two days from now, already a day has passed." "Yes, we will lead the combined ninja of the Five Nations on the Uchiha Hideout, and then, they will begin their fight, and we will search for Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha." "So, the Five Kage will fight Madara and Sasuke.?" "Thats correct Lady Mizukage." "Alright, in a couple of hours, we will share the two shinobi that have been selected to fight alongside us against our common enemy." "Yes." The Kage then each hung their phones up, and Sanmita knocked on Hokages door. "Come in." Sanmita entered Marrik's room and closed the door; sitting down in a chair in front of him." "Sanmita, Here is where things get bad, It is up to you to defeat Madara." "The Five Kage will be right beside you and we will back you up to the best of our abilities." Sanmita looked at Marrik as if he just went stone crazy. "What do you mean ? By myself?" "No Sanmita, we will help you, but in the end, he must die by your hand, so that you can bring peace." "If he died by anyone else but you, it would be just another senseless killing and more violence would rise." "Because you are the last inheritor of the Will of Fire, If you kill Madara Uchiha, people will see it as a new begining and an era of peace should arise." "But if you should fail Sanmita, Madara will take over the Five Great Nations." "But I have a backup plan if we should fail." "What would that plan be Lord Hokage." Hokage rubbed his goatee and gave a worried look to Sanmita. "If you should fail, We flee, not to another country or back home, but from this world." "If we fail, we are going into exile." "You will train with me until I think the time is right." "We will then come out of exile and try to free The Five Great Nations from Madara's grasp." "That is only if you should fail..." Marrik asked Sanmita if she had anything at all she would request or like to ask him...

Sanmita closed her eyes, "Hokage sama, where is Renshi? It has been 5 days...5 bloody days, since he was gone. No one knows where is he, not even you, and you are the Hokage.. Is he on some kind of super secret mission, which you can't tell me about? Sir, just tell me he is fine, please!?" The hokage kept quiet, and then he sighed, "There is no secret mission right now..." He looked back at the girl, and saw a blank look on her face. It scared him, the girl was NEVER blank, some part of her always told him what she was feeling, but right now, she looked made out of stone, and it made the Hokage worried. When she spoke, it was loud, "Is it him...The person who is responsible for the Daimyo deaths?" Marrik didn't speak, and Sanmita stood forcefully, "Tell me damn it! That guy..he...TELL ME!!" Sanmita's eyes were fierce all of a sudden, and Marrik flinched, "I really don't know. Renshi is loyal to Konoha, it is impossible he ditched us. I can't say...that he has betrayed...but if he has, I am sure the other side has provided with a bargain that he just couldn't....let go. He is a human Sanmita, and has weaknesses. If he really has caved in, the temptation must have been great for him....."

Sanmita thought about it, and slowly, it returned back to the older, impassive cold self. She nodded, "That is all, Hokage sama. I am sorry for my..er, outburst. I will get the table repaired. If you need me, I will be in hospital. I am getting Shizune sensei and Haru...Sakura sensei teach me medical jutsu and Tsunade san's taijutsu style. I hope it will be helpful with the causalities." She bowed, and then walked out of office without letting Hokage say a thing. When he was gone, he slumped down.

"What am I going to do!" he groaned, and leaned over his chair. As if on cue, Kalina came in, "Judging from Sanmita's face right now, I presume she knows...." She sighed, and Marrik sighed, "Don't remind me. It is a wonder she is being so reasonable. I know she is pretty crazy about him." Kalina laughed, "Nice choice of words, Marrik Hyuuga. I think you must be pretty shaken up, if you are using the word 'crazy' for anyone except your adversaries, especially when she is in love." She then closed her eyes, "I know....I had been with her. I am pretty sure that if Renshi is the one who betrayed, then this war will be difficult for her. And if she wins, and he dies, she will never be the same again. Hell, she will not even fall for anyone ever in future."

Marrik looked at her incredulously, "Surely the situation is not THAT serious?" and Kalina smiled, "That is the problem in men, you always underestimate the power of love in a woman. And Sanmita, well she is a different case altogether. She has denied love and everything it represents, despite knowing of it, reading of it. Most girls of her age have fallen in love at least twice or thrice in their life, or had a fan-girl tendency for a guy. Sure it is annoying, but we women crave for love, for any symbol to know that you men want us, that you care on us and consider us worthy. Sanmita denied that feeling, and when she got it, it was much more stronger than in others' case. The stronger the drug, the stronger the side-effects, which is why Love and lust is sometimes said to be like a drug to someone. I think Renshi is the same, but with what is happening, I am not sure anymore..... In any case, that is my theory about our little Kazuki brat."

Marrik, however, was feeling another bout of horror. What has fallen the poor girl! He was feeling sad about forcing the 15 year old into a sad fate, but now, it seemed someone had punched him right in his gut. Kalina touched his eyebrow to smooth away the crease, "Don't be sad. She is strong, and will find her way out. We have to believe in her. And support her. There will be a way out. In the mean time", she pointed outside where the sun was setting in, "It is time for you to leave the ofice and head back home. I have finished reviewing over the patrol reports for you." Marrik looked at her, "You did?" and She smiled, "Yes. It was Sanmita's idea, she has reviewed the security details in Sector 9 and the Powerhouse. She also asked several amongst us to make sure your work is cut short, so you can prepare yourself for main battle. She asked us to do the same, so our Generation, Konohamaru and Naruto san's peers have got our work divided equally. She sure knows how to make use of our individual talents, though her decision of keeping Lee san with a bunch of his fans is creating a little....'Youthful' headache. Not to mention, he and Gai san still have those teacher-student moments, and that...I don't know how they make that sunset appear...well they are weirding smaller Taijutsu specialists out."

Marrik smiled, some things never change....he rose up, and walked along with his wife outside. Once outside the office, they rushed to their house, Marrik thinking of the future that loomed ahead of them

(Marrik and Kalina live in the mansion...) -.-" = P

As Marrik and Kalina rest in the bed together, Marrik thinks about the decision that they have made and if it was a right one. "God, I hope we arent doing something that we will regret." "Its just that, I cannot bear the thought of not being able to protect my village." "I was chosen to be Hokage because of my skills and abilities. I dont doubt myself, but I cant bear the thought of losing them. If anything happened to this village I dont know if I could make it." "This village means the world to me, And I just hope, and pray, That we will be victorious against Madara Uchiha." "These people dont deserve to go through this war, they deserve peace!" "This is not their battle, they shouldnt have to fight." Marrik talked to himself in his bed with Kalina. "We dont have blood ties, but these people are my family, and Id die for them!" "All of them!" Then, Marrik stopped talking and he felt a soothing peace fall over him, that slowly calmed him and relaxed him in the bed. A voice then spoke out to him, that Marrik had never heard before, yet it sounded familiar. "That is why you shall win Marrik Hyuuga ..." "It is because you feel so strongly about this place and its people, that you shall win." A half asleep Marrik said "Minato-sama?" The voice spoke again "Marrik, your will to protect and defend this village is stronger than that of all the prevoius Kages." "Including myself." "Marrik, I sense that you doubt yourself..." "Have faith in your abilities Marrik, for you are the one to lead this girl into war and make sure no harm comes upon her." Then, another voice spoke out and Marrik rose out of his bed slowly. "You know, Hes right Marrik..." Marrik than responded "Kakashi Sensei?" "Marrik, believe in yourself. Trust in your abilities. You cant let me down, avenge all the shinobi who have fallen by evil's hand. Avenge my death. I know for a fact I thought you better than that..." "Come, why dont you take a walk with your old master." Marrik soon leaned back and fell asleep in the bed, when suddenly he started to dream. In his dream, Marrik was walking down a long road, filled with broken buildings and dead bodies everywhere. It was pouring raining, and Marrik was walking alongside Kakashi Sensei. "Marrik, So, Whats bothering you." Marrik then looked at all the bodies scattered everywhere and replied. "This, all these dead people, Look at this village Master, its destroyed.." "Yes I know. Its very... erm... Unfortinate." "Sensei, how do I prevent something like this from happening to the people I love so much?" "Please Kakashi Sensei..." "I dont know son..." Kakashi then touched Marrik on the shoulder and looked in his eyes. "But I trust you will find the answer for me." "Because I believe in you, just like everyone else." "When I died, I trusted that this village would be in good hands, Hands of You and Renshi." "But Sensei, you must sense it too, even in death. Renshi----" "Stop Marrik..." "Kakashi Sensei please, tell me, is it true." Marrik and Kakashi then stepped over two dead bodies and walked over to a nearby bench and sat down. "Kakashi Sensei..." Kakashi then lowered his mask and wiped a tear coming from his sharingan eye. "Marrik, just know your fate, destiny, and goals cant be determined by others decisions." "Sensei..." Marrik looked down at the ground. Kakashi then patted Marrik's shoulder again and said "Unfortinatly, Yes... But, You must understand, the boy that I taught years ago, and the man that you knew years ago is no longer with us." "Renshi Haruno, The Renshi Haruno we knew was corrupted by Madara Uchiha." "Madara is in control of Renshi, and yes, He is the traitor to this village." "But Marrik, please listen to me and respect what im telling you, Its too late for Renshi now..." "Madara has too much of a hold on him..." "Kakashi Sensei, I have to bring him back, I have to, I owe it to him..." "Please Kakashi Sensei.." "Its too late Marrik, Renshi is beyond help. The only way to truly save Renshi from Madara is to kill him." "If you kill Renshi, his soul will be at peace." Marrik began to cry for real this time. This time, Marrik started to hyperventilate and sob many tears. "Kakashi Sensei, I lost you, My mother, My father, Now im about to loose one of my comrades! Renshi, He was like a brother to me." "Its so hard master... Im tired of loosing everyone." Marrik looked at Kakashi and tilted his ehad down again. Kakashi suprisingly, took of his mask and hugged Marrik. "Its going to be ok Marrik. I believe in you. I trust in you. I have faith in you. My will has been passed on to Naruto, and now you. "I entrust my will to you Marrik Hyuuga. See that no one has to suffer anymore at the hands of Madara Uchiha." "For me Marrik..." Kakashi continued to hug Marrik. "Everything is going to be fine, I trust you Marrik. I trust you with everything I thought you and more." "If I didnt trust you, I wouldnt have taught you every water and lightning ninjutsu I know, I wouldnt have reccomended you for Hokage, I wouldnt have died protecting you or this village." Marrik stopped crying and rose up from the bench. "Marrik... I have to go. I cant sustain this genjutsu dream any longer." "My chakra is fading and it time for me to meet up with The Third and the rest of the dead." "Bring peace my Student. Settle the score, protect those who cannot protect themselves with your life." The rain in the dream suddenly stopped and the sun started to shine. Kakashi's image then faded away and Marrik woke up to Kalina hovering over him with breakfast. "Good Morning Baby." "You slept well." "Tomorrow's the big day." Marrik sipped on the orange juice and rose out of the bed. "Morning, Summon Sanmita, and can you please take over for me today, Sanmita and I are going out today." "I will, and I love you." "Mmm, I love you too Kalina." Marrik kissed his wife and preceeded to take a shower. Once Marrik took his shower, he put on his all black ninja pants and all black ninja long sleve shirt. Then, Marrik grabbed his long all white Flak Jacket with the lighting symbols on the bottom. Lastly, he grabbed his large summoning scroll that goes on his back and his all black ninja headband, and headed out the door to meet Sanmita in front of the mansion....

When he reached the mansion gate, he didn't find anyone. "That is strange, she usually comes whenever I summon her." he thought out loud, but then an ANBU with a weasel mask came up. "Hokage sama, Sanmita is not at her home, or in training field. However, I found this in her room, it is addressed to you." he handed the envelope over to Marrik, and then bowed. Marrik hastily opened the envelope, and started reading.

"Hokage sama,

I have to leave Konoha for some time. I am sorry for not telling you this. But I think, I need time to prepare myself. I loved him, but he has betrayed us. I need to prepare myself to make sure that I don't hesitate fighting him if I have to. I needed time, badly.

I know you wanted to us to go as early as possible, so I only beg you to give me 4 days. I will be back, I swear. Forgive me for this.

-Sanmita

Marrik read the letter up and down, a blank look taking over his face. "She went away..."he muttered and then suddenly punched the nearest wall. "Damn.." he muttered, and then saw the letter again, when he noticed something. The letters were a little smudged at places, and when he sniffed those areas, he deduced it was salt. "She cried writing this letter. Renshi, what the hell have you done." He groaned, ad Kalina suddeny came behind him, "What are you doing here."

Marrik was too overwhelmed to answer, and just showed her the letter. Kalina read it, and then muttered, "Just as I thought..."

"Kalina, I am not worried she has run off somewhere, we can stop him for 4 days at least, but....where is she gone? Four days?" Kalina shrugged, "I have no idea myself...wait...no, there is no way she is thinking of that...." Marrik looked at her, and she replied hysterically, "Marrik, she has gone to Valley of death, in the training room. She needed time, she will get it there....four days!!! She will be 4 years older when she arrives!!"

"So...we should stop her?", Marrik asked, and suddenly a voice came, "You will be wastin' your time if you do that". Marrik turned, and saw himself come face to face with Konohamaru Sarutobi. "I suggest you keep your butt here, Taicho. She is much more intelligent than many of us, and if she thinks a place is good for her, it IS good for her. Moreover, you need to be here to defend us."

Marrik and Kalina looked at each other, deliberating. Ultimately, Marrik huffed, "Fine, just 4 days...if she doesn't return, we will look for her." Kalina looked displeased, muttering something like, "Four years of life gone waste..." but consented nonetheless. The three shinobi then made their way to their individual duties.

Meanwhile, Sanmita was inside the training room, sweating with the training. She was trying to train herself, distract herself from thinking about 'him'. Yes, he had betrayed the village. A normal girl would be thinking of betraying everyone to be with the one she loved, but Sanmita was never normal. No one alive, except Tenten, her aunt and Konohamaru knew, but after her father's death, Sanmita had started having slight hysteric personality. She was unbalanced all the time. When her mother died however, things got worse. She started having nightmares; not nightmare, just one single image that was stuck in her mind: Her mother's dead body. They had not told her until it had arrived after post martem, that her mother was no more. It was Tenten who broke the news to her, after she had come after a playdate with one of the local kids. She had seen the body with horror, there was slight blood over the shroud, which she later came to know was due to the cut they had made during post martem. She remembered every detail, and while it had become a distant memory, after hearing that she was betrayed, her nightmares came back. Every night, she screamed in her sleep, and woke up with a start.

Yes, she had come to forget. She had come to prepare herself mentally and physically, to fight the man who had betrayed her for the person who was responsible for the two people she loved the most, and for endangering the ones she had started to care for. Renshi Haruno was love of her life, and she would try to turn his ways around. But if he didn't, then love will be damned; she will fight him, and bring justice to those who had been harmed during this war due to his actions.

She just needed time......and the training chamber had provided her with the same...4 years to reconcile with her feelings, four years to prepare herself to free the world from Madara's tyranny.

Hokage and Kalina then proceeded to Hokage’s office to finish discussing what shall occur now that Sanmita has left. Marrik seated his wife down in the chair in front of his desk and went and sat behind the desk. “This is the only chance we will get to pursue Madara with full force and bring the attack to him, head on.” “I trust that we can hold our own until Sanmita arrives.” “The attack will proceed tomorrow as planned.” Kalina then decided to speak, “Are you ready for this day to come Marrik?” Marrik gave a smile to Kalina and folded his arms on the desk and relaxed his shoulders. “I’m fully prepared; I even came up with a couple of techniques in my spare time.” “The Kage will lead these shinobi into battle and we will crush our enemy with the power of all who came before us and all who have died putting their lives on the line to protect the things they care about.” Then, a masked shinobi with a long sword came into the room and interrupted their conversation. “Lord Hokage, You must come take a look at this at once, its very urgent.” Marrik rose from his seat and told Kalina to stay put. Marrik followed the masked ninja out of the mansion and to the south gate. When Marrik arrived, he looked around until the masked shinobi pointed to a figure on the ground. Marrik and the shinobi approached the figure and when he saw under the figure’s hood; that it had long pink hair, Marrik fell to his knees so hard it would seem he shattered them. “God no, Please…” Marrik removed the hood from the ninja’s face and it looked at him and closed his eyes. “Renshi, Renshi, Renshi wake up… Renshi … Wake up please friend …” Hokage’s hands were now red filled with Renshi’s blood. “Renshi… Please--- Please wake up. God please, please Renshi.” The masked figure came behind Hokage and patted his shoulder, “He’s gone Lord Hokage.” Marrik’s face had dropped and his shoulders drooped over his comrade’s dead corpse. Marrik picked Renshi’s body up and cradled it like a baby. “Head to the village, Ill follow.” “Lord Hokage, im under orders to----““Just do as I say!” The shinobi then ran towards the village and Marrik ran behind him carrying Renshi’s body. When they arrived, Marrik brought Renshi’s body to his office and layed it in his chair. “Oh My God Marrik! Is he alright! Marrik, is he dead?” “Marrik turned around and asked Kalina to be quiet. Marrik reached inside Renshi’s Jonnin vest and grabbed out an envelope signed “Comrade …” Marrik opened the letter and began to read it out loud and it said the following…

I’m actually glad I couldn’t have seen your face in person.
I know you would have thrown a fit, and probably exiled me from the village.
Yes, I betrayed the village, and yes I betrayed your trust.
I put the whole village in danger and I shouldn’t have done that.
However, I am not sorry for my actions.
Marrik, You of all people should understand that you must do what must be done.
For the sake of the people you love and the things you swore to protect.
When Madara invaded the village, I caught up with him before he escaped.
I made a deal with him to supply him all types of info, only if he spared my life.
Surprisingly, He accepted and I provided him Intel straight from the Core Computer.
But Marrik, You know me better than that, I would hope so anyway.
When I gained Madara’s trust, I began to stay near him and watch his every move
I had a couple of close calls, but I managed.
I left that morning because I was supposed to meet with Madara to discuss “The Fox”
I met with Madara and we spoke about the situation.
All the while I was with Madara and his allies; I recorded information on a Cd.
I also, made a detailed blueprint of the Uchiha Hideout.
By the time you read this letter Marrik, I won’t be with you anymore.
Madara finally figured out what I was doing and he planed to stop me.
I know you’re angry with me, but look inside this envelope.
The Cd and the Blueprint are inside this envelope.
I think I finally outsmarted you Friend; I might have even outdone Kakashi Sensei.
If you will please, let me carry the burden of everyone who has died so far.
Let me carry the pain and suffering of everyone.
You are free Marrik, Make sure Sanmita defeats Madara and bring peace.
Give Sanmita the Black Rose in the envelope too. I put a reserve of my chakra inside.
Well, I think Id better catch up with Kakashi Sensei …
See you on the flip side Storm Sage …
Marrik finished the letter and put it back in the envelope and put it inside the frame of his Hokage picture. Then, Marrik reached for the Cd and the map and led Kalina out of the office, and headed toward The Anbu Core Computer. Once they arrived, Marrik put the Cd inside the computer and it asked for a password. Marrik tried many passwords, but couldn’t find the right one. Then, Marrik entered the word “Comrade” and it showed a list of Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha’s experiences and a couple of their techniques. It also shows the weak points in Madara’s body structure and how much time it takes for him to summon and conjure fire style jutsus. “Renshi outsmarted the entire village, even I.” “That man surprises me even in death.” “He played the role of a double agent this whole time, without anyone figuring it out till the last minute.” “Renshi, you will always be my comrade.” “In death, as The Tenth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, I want to give you the title Anbu Black Ops Field Commander First Class.” “Renshi, you are my friend, and you won’t have died for nothing.” Marrik smiled and looked at the huge screen above him. “Kalina---“Kalina hugged Marrik and said “He actually outsmarted you and did the unthinkable Marrik.” Marrik smiled and nodded at his wife, which was admiring the screen filled with useful information which Renshi gave his life for. “Yes, yes he did.” The Hokage took out the Cd and put inside his flak and lead his wife back to his office inside the mansion. When they arrived, both of them sat down and began talking about the day ahead of them. “Tomorrow is the day Kalina.” “At least a thousand shinobi will stand in front of the gate, ready for me to lead them to meet up with everyone else and the other Kages.” “Then, we shall march on the Uchiha Hideout and reign hell upon those who threaten the peace.” “Sanmita should have caught up with us by the time we battle Madara.” “First, we have to get past the front line and the defenses.” “Then we have to find Madara and Sasuke and take them on.” Kalina nodded and rose out her chair. “Ill be in the room if you need me Marrik.” Kalina walked out of Marrik’s office, and Marrik laid his head down on the desk and started finishing some mission reports ….

A day had passed outside, and an year inside. All through this time, she had learnt two more techniques, and had developed another Ice attack. Her chakra reserve grew tremendously, and she had to build another set of chakra storage devices. Virgo was all too happy to design a small leaf shaped amulet, and a pair of small earrings from the metal for that purpose. Each of those metal ornaments had chakra equivalent to half of hers, which meant she had stored two times the chakra she had, for emergency.

She also revised several medic jutsu, and practiced hard with celestial spirits. Her abilities gradually improved, but little by little, she became quieter. The celestial beings tried their best to keep her cheerful all the time, like before, but she had...changed. They eventually gave up, but still tried to bring some sort of normalcy whenever they came. She didn't bulge.

An year passed, then two, then three. Sanmita worried, worried over what was happening outside. Did they start fighting? Was she needed? she had many questions, but no one to answer. She trained, she thought, she got frustrated, she cried. Pretty much a part of her daily life now. What was NOT the part of her daily life was waiting on her clothes to get finished by Virgo. She had packet some cloth material, and what Virgo made for her would have caused any man drooling over the girl (well, duh! Virgo is a maid, she is bound to make some...revealing stuff). But unlike earlier, Sanmita didn't care. She wore whatever was given to her, without even flinching. What was the use? She will be fighting someone who was a 150 year old case of schizophrenia, a man who would be crowned Emo-king if there was a competition for Emo-avenging bastards like him. But worse of all, she might have to fight the first person she had fallen for. Yeah, not a big deal at all. As if.

Outside, the second day of Sanmita's disappearance, Marrik stood with a group of handpicked shinobi: Naruto, Sakura, Sai, Tenten, Konohamaru, Hinata, Kalina, Shikamaru, Lee, Moegi, Shino and a jonin by name Mugdha. The others were guarding the periphery of the village. "Okay, I will divide you people into groups according to your specialities. Naruto san and Konohamaru san, you both have highest Chakra level around here. You will be our attack specialists, mainly short and medium range. Sakura san and Kalina will be healers. Moegi chan and Tenten chan will take care of the long range fighting. Sai san and Lee san, take care of direct attacking groups. Shikamaru san and Mugdha san, you two will take reigns for Ambush division. For those who don't know her, Mugdha san is one of our elite ANBU black Ops group, and perhaps the strongest one at this moment. She also has the abilities for interrogation, so she will fill in double duties, and so will I. I, hinata onii-chan, and Aburame san will be trackers. Got it?" The group nodded, and Marrik continued, "We will be meeting other Kage and their shinobi in Land of waves. A shinobi by the name of Inari has contacted us, he will be guiding us." He nodded at Naruto, who grinned. Tenten cleared her throat, "Koko...I mean Kokuichi has agreed to inform Sanmita, and he will take off to Valley of death tomorrow. He wishes to wait here and guard till he can." Marrik nodded, and then muttered, "Everyone ready?" With a nod, the group ran off outside the gate, till they were all but gone.

It took them 2 days to reach the wave, and found that they were third to reach there, with Mist and Lightening coming earlier. The raikage and Naruto were soon exchanging 'dude' hellos, punching and rapping in a manner that caused almost all shinobi to sweatdrop. Almost because the Mizukage had same adoring eyes, and Inari was already his fan. The evening came, and they all huddled around to plan. "We will wait for them till day after tomorrow. If they don't come, we will start assault. Inari san, can you show them the safe route too?" Marrik asked, and the man nodded. Mizukage piped in, "Hokage sama, where is the other girl? Our high commander...she needs to be here, yes?" The hokage flinched, and sighed when he saw everyone from other village was looking at him now, expecting the answer. He spoke, curtly, "She will come here in three days approx. She had to make a ..detour." He noticed two of the lightening shinobi eyes narrow, and realized they were the people who had befriended the girl during Kage summit. But the other two Kage nodded. "I understand you are not comfortable in telling us, and don't worry, we will not try to dig it up unnecessarily. Just tell us, will this detour of hers harm us in any way?" Mizukage asked, and marrik shook his head, "No. She went because she wanted to make sure...she fights with best she has." The conversation ended then.

The Kazekage came the next evening, and Naruto was pleasantly surprised to see Gaara and his siblings with them. Shikamaru had groaned, and muttered something like, "Troblesome woman too......" and received a smack on his head, courtesy Temari. The Konoha shinobi and other two Subaku siblings knew what was coming, and immediately ushered out in another room. A lightening girl got curious, and peeked inside, only to see Temari and Shikamaru locked in a kiss. She immediately went pink, and came running to the room where all the others were, mentally making note to listen to the Konoha shinobi when they warn them of something.

The tsuchikage was last, and one of his bodyguards, a man named Kyoshiro (one of Sanmita's Hokage-summit friends), was all too excited to meet Sanmita. When he heard she will join them in fight, his face fell a little, and another Kunoichi nudged him. He shrugged, "She will fight with us, right." And kept shut about it rest of the day. The five Kage decided to take off next day, to confront Madara finally..

The following day, over 500 hundred shinobi met in a clearing about two miles of the Uchiha hideout, along with the Five Kages. All the shinobi stood tall with their respect village gear on. Male and Female shinobi of all ages stood in perfect lines going at least 20 feet long. In fron of them stood the Five Kage. Hokage wore the standard Hokage uniform without the Hat, and he had "Storm Sage of the Leaf" inscribed on the back in red kanji. Raikage had the standard Kage uniform on, so did Kazekage. Tsuchikage had on the standard Kage uniform but with two light brown wristbands on his wrists. Mizukage wore a Kage Dress uniform, with a slit in the middle and a pair of blue highhills. Her long redish hair flowed in the wind like Marrik's. "Today, We will declare victory over Madara Uchiha and his followers." "May the people who gave their lives for our villages protect and shield us from any hurt, harm, or danger. I ask that all the former Kages lend us their stregnth so that we can trimuph over our enemies!" Then, loud cheers were heard after Marrik gave that brief speech. Kazekage then supprisingly stepped forward and spoke saying "Death to all who threated peace, justice, and prosperity." Another set of cheers were heard and then there was a brief silence. "Let us begin out march onto the Uchiha Hideout!" The Five Kage turned around at the same time and took one step forward. The first line of shinobi behind them took one step forward as well. Then, The Kage began to march slowly with everyone following behind them. "Anyone without a A Leaf, Mist, Cloud, Sand, or Dust headband, kill them on sight. Show no mercy!" After about twenty minutes of continous marching, everyone saw a a huge army of ninja in front of the hideout. Hokage then spoke again, "When I say "Disperse!", all shinobi behind us will run in front of us and take down the huge swarm of enemies ahead." "We will follow behind you and take out the enemies as well." "Once your enemy is defeated, go and help another shinobi defeat their enemies." "Do this until that wave is defeated, then your objective is to storm the Hideout and kill everyone inside. Take control of the Hideout and make your way to the Labs." "Then take post there and wait until one of the Kage arrive until you proceed." They marched about twenty more steps, and Hokage screamed out "Disperse!" Shinobi ran in every direction. They brought out kunai and shuriken and things started to really look like war. Marrik charged in after the shinobi, along with the rest of the Five Kage. Marrik then began to weave hand signs and finally said "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" A huge aquatic dragon then appeared out of thin air and flew through the skies, knocking out every enemy in its path, until Marrik disabled the jutsu. Marrik then headed for the next enemy in his range...

The news of the war had not spread amongst the villagers in Wave, Tazuna's family made sure of that. That was why the people were moving about in market without any mark of distress. It was just a normal day, a Normal evening for them. A hooded figure, unmistakeably of a female, walked gracefully in the market. She passed by an alley, and heard a slightly muffled scream. The figure halted, and sighed, as she turned herself to go into the alley.

A buff man, along with three other men, were closing in towards a woman, who looked barely her thirties. She was cowering, leaning on the wall, while the assualters held her to the wall. The buff one said, "Don't be like that, sugar. We will have so much fun." The woman thrashed, her eyes streaming with tears, and one of the men licked his lips, and made his move to remove her top. "If I were you, I will not do that." A voice came from behind, and everyone turned towards it. The hooded figure was standing, with her arms folded in front of her chest. "I would advise you to leave her now, or else you will regret touching her for rest of your life." The hooded figure spoke again, and the men broke from their trance, "Who are you bitch? And how dare you threaten us?"

There was a slight humoring quality in the hooded person's voice, "Me? Oh my, I have not introduced myself, have I? I am just a Chunin from Leaf. I was passing by this alley, when I heard a fellow woman being harassed, so I came in to save her." The buff man sneered, "Kunoichi huh? And a Chunin? My dear, you have a death wish, I am a full fledged Jonin here. You don't stand a chance. Although....you can join this girl, it would be a hassle if she is the only one."

The girl scream, "Run, please, they are one of the elite shinobi in Wave. Save yourself, please!" But the girl in hood didn't move, and two of the four men immediately held her by her arms. One of them sneered, "Let us see who is this bitch" and immediately snatched away the girl's cloak. To say that they were taken aback would be an understatement. They had seen many beautiful women, they had fantasized holding many of them, but the woman in front of them was a totally different league. She looked about 19 years old, with black waist-length hair braided intricately. She had put maskara over her hazel eyes, making them look much more wider and beautiful. She was wearing just a strap-less green top which covered only her well developed chest area, and the rest was covered with thin silver threads that criss-crossed over her abdomen and back. She wore short black shorts, revealing her well muscled legs. Her skin injury marks, which only added to her overall image. She wore a flak Jacket, with Kanji for 'Konoha no Saya' written behind, and a large sparrow on the front pocket. The men, however, were too busy imagining what she looked like beneath those clothes to notice that. Her right arm carried a snake like bracelet, and her head band tied over her left arm. There was a small claw charm on her waist, a pair of small triangular earrings, a pendant with shape of an urn in her neck, and an amulet with leaf insignia just above her headband. There was another ring dangling from her waist. The girl was totally drop dead gorgeous, and every single aspect of her was a turn on for the four men. The buff one licked his lips, "My my, we have gotten ourselves a real hooker, haven't we? You are truly a sex incarnate my dear, and lucky that I am going to...." The girl grimaced slightly, but the other men looked at the jonin, "Hey, no fair. You can't have her all to yourself. We are all together in this." The buff one glared, and they flinched, "I hope you three have not forgotten that I am your superior. Satisfy yourself with that other girl. If this one satisfies me, I will hand her over to you." The three of them scowled, but nodded, and pushed the girl towards their leader.

However, the kunoichi spoke up, "What gave you the idea that You are strong enough to defeat me, let alone touch me? I think I said that earlier, if you try to touch that girl, I will make sure you will regret it rest of your life." The four men laughed, and their leader threw the other girl into his partners' arms. "Screw her first, I think we should show this bitch what we are." The three men smirked, and immediately tore off the other girl's jacket. Suddenly, however, they paused midway, and blood spurted out of their mouth as they fell. The big guy stared, "What the..." when he saw small ice needles sticking out from various parts of their body. He just stared, and then looked at the girl, "What did you do to them? How.." but was cut short, as he felt indescribable pain in his chest. He released his breath in a whoosh, and looked town to see that two senbon had pierced his neck, and one sword was sticking out of his chest. "How....what..." he gasped, and the Kunoichi looked over him, "Don't worry, the four of you won't die, but the four of you will have to think a hundred times before you want to stick yourself into any girl. You will be paralyzed, and incapable of being a shinobi for rest of your life. The other three have also been given the same punishment, except you will be paralyzed for a longer time, maybe for your whole life even, while they will have to suffer only for 5 years or so. Don't ever dare to touch a woman, or the next time, I will make sure you are rendered impotent rest of your life." She took out her sword and senbon, and healed him enough to not let him die. She then took her cloak, and walked to the other woman. "Can you get up." The woman didn't answer, but immediately broke down, "Thank you! Oh thank you so much! I don't know...how to repay you....thank you so much." The girl smiled, "Don't worry. You are safe right? That is what matters."

The woman shook her head, " You don't know....these men are tyrants of our village. They often barge into any one's place, demanding money, threatening....they were using their Jonin status for their own twisted wishes. Had it not been Inari-san, these men would have turned all the women they liked into their personal mistresses. It is only because of him that they are more careful. However, for some reason, Inari san has been busy for last few days. They took advantage of it..."The woman mumbled, and the other girl asked, "Oh...can you tell me where he lives then? I was searching for him, but I got lost..." The woman nodded, "Go straight from here, there is a small bath a little ahead, turn right. After a little while, you will spot a pachinko booth, just take a left from the first T-point that comes. You will reach the sea shore. You will be able to see a line of houses from there, and the second yellow house facing the sea is Inari san's."

The Kunoichi smiled, "Thank you. I needed to get their urgently. Umm...do you need me to help you reach home?" The woman shook her head, "No. My house is just round the corner, don't worry. But....please tell me your name, I would like to know who saved me from loosing my pride..." The Kunoichi smiled, "My name...is Sanmita Kazuki."

Sanmita did not loose time to go the the address told to her, and soon, was standing over the door of a small, but beautifully made house. She took her Kunai out, and immediately threw it at a spot in garden. There was a distinct 'click', telling her that a trap was deactivated. She made her way to the door, and knocked. A little while later, a tall young man opened the door. He was clad in black cargo pants, and a teak shirt. "I am supposed to meet Inari san" she spoke, and the man looked at her, "Are you Sanmita Kazuki?" She nodded, and Inari relaxed. He had not sensed any Genjutsu, so the girl was telling the truth. "Get in and clean yourself. Have some food too, if you are hungry. We don't have much time, I say you do all this within two hours. I will get the ferry ready till then." The girl nodded, and immediately went inside.

After two hours, Sanmita had had food, and washed herself up. She was wearing the same attire, but the clothes were fresh this time. She took off her hood, but didn't remove her cloak. Inari entered, but when he saw the girl, his eyes widened. He whistled, "I don't know if anyone has told you this, but you are quite a looker." He grinned, and Sanmita smiled, "Thank you. I have been told that I am pretty, but I am glad that four years of difference has not changed that. Now, shall we go?" Inari nodded, and they made their way to docks. "I was supposed to wait here for you. I know that you people didn't need an escort, but we need to reach there undetected. Several bounty hunters have covered the Lightening in hopes of getting the body of the shinobi participating in war. I know a safe way." Sanmita nodded. They traveled on for about 2 hours, and then docked in a deserted harbor. Sanmita asked, "We have..reached? So fast?" and Inari nodded, "I took a shortcut. This route is very dangerous, so no one takes it. But we had to take risk. Thankfully, the marine life here is not much threatening during winters, so the waterway is much safer. This is used by us Wave people only, which is why it is safer."

Sanmita nodded, and Inari continued, "We are not much far from battle. I think it is about a mile or so from here..." "I see. Well, we shall go then." Sanmita replied, and the two of them started running towards the battle. In truth, Sanmita KNEW the exact location of the battle, she was able to sense it accurately, and deduced that it had moved to about a mile further from them. But she didn't say anything. Speech was silver, but silence was gold, at least for a shinobi...

Meanwhile, the field was filled with the bodies of many dead enemy ninja and allies. "Ive never seen so much blood shed." "This is horrible." Marrik thought those thoughts as he defended himself against a swift kick from an enemy ninja. "Whoever you are, your skill is good." The shinobi came back at The Hokage with a punch to his face that could possibly knock him out. "If I get hit by that, its over for me." Marrik quickly ducked and avoided the punch and swept and the ninja's feet. Then, The Storm Sage got behind him and pushed him, lastly throwing three kunai in his back. "Alright, hes down." Marrik then dashed toward Lord Kazekage, who was seeming to have problems holding his own against a ninja using fire ninjutsu. "Any suggestions Lord Kazekage?" Marrik got behind the sand shield Lord Kazekage used to defend himself from the oncoming fire attack. "Maybe, If you use your Byakugan, you can look for a spot where I can release sand into his body. Maybe an open cut or wound." "On it!" Marrik ran side to side at the enemy and screamed "Byakugan!" Marrik's eyes then were lit a bright white as Marrik was knocked to the side by a kick to the chest from the enemy. "I dont see any open wounds for the sand to infiltrate." "Guess Ill have to make one." Hokage then threw five shuriken that he found on the ground behind him. The ninja quickly made hand symbols and said "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" The huge fireball made short work of the shuriken, but it made the enemy unprepared for the main attack. After Marrik threw the shuriken, he quickly made a hand seal and said "Flying Thunder God Jutsu!" Marrik appeared behind the shinobi and made a slit on his arm with a kunai. The shinobi fell to the ground holding his now bleeding arm. Marrik dashed back to Lord Kazekage's position and ran past him and said "Hes all yours Kazekage!" Marrik ran towards an incoming enemy and kicked him into the air and he went flying through the sky. In the distance, Marrik heard "Ninja Art: Sand Coffin!" The Kazekage's enemy's body was scattered through the wind as it exploded sending body parts and sand everywhere. "Kazekage sure is violent." Marrik stood and looked around him to see what was left of the remaining enemies. "Lord Raikage!" Marrik called out to get his attention and ask him to follow him. "Lord Raikage, I think the other three Kage and the rest of the shinobi can handle the remaining enemies, Let us infiltrate the Hideout and begin searching for Madara and Sasuke." Raikage nodded and followed Marrik to a huge wooden gate with the Uchiha crest on it. "Ill make short work of this door..." Marrik then said "Byakugan!" and entered his Gentle Fist Stance. Marrik then weaved a set of hand symbols, finally screaming "Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm!" Marrik thrusted his right hand forward and sent the broken wooden gate flying into pieces across the inside of the Hideout. Then, three enemy ninja approached the door and Raikage took them on with the power of lightning at his command. Once the two were done, they headed down a corridor and found a rather buff looking female ninja standing in front of a door. Raikage began to approach her, but a patient Marrik stopped him. "Wait, Lord Raikage." Marrik stared at the girl until he saw her eyes where pupilless and her face turned old with many wrinkles. "I think we are in a genjutsu." "Be on your guard Lord Raikage." "Yes, I believe your correct, Ill be on my guard! And show them my trump card! Word!" Marrik and Raikage began to approach the woman, when suddenly her body turned to dust in front of their very eyes. Raikage opened the door behind her and they saw a dim light at the end of a very long hall. "Up." Marrik pointed toward the ceiling and show Raikage a small square hole in the ceiling. "How did you find that?" Marrik laughed and said "Remember, Byakugan?" Raikage stepped in front of Marrik and placed his hand on the ground and pushed downward as his body flew up into the air and inside the square hole. Marrik did the same and then both shinobi appeared inside a room full of enemy ninja. "We are surrounded." "We cant take them all out. Its impossible." Marrik then replied saying "I know, Place your hand on my back and whatever you do, stay inside my division." A confused Raikage then asked "What are you going to do?" "Im going to use an Eight Trigrams Jutsu." Marrik then said "Byakugan!" and began to weave a set of symbols finally saying "Eight Trigrams: Three Hundred Sixty Four Palms!" Then, a green and black division appeared below Marrik and Raikage, and the surrounding ninja started to charge toward them. "Fight inside the division." "Dont leave." Raikage nodded and brought out a long sword and charged it with lightning chakra. Hokage entered his Gentle Fist Fighting Stance, and waited for the mass number of enemies to enter the division so he could begin kicking ass along with Raikage...

Sanmita and Inari had finally reached the battlefield, and the scene of utter devastation met their eyes. The fight was still on, and the two of them rushed to fight. "Where are the Kage?" Sanmita thought, as she sliced the head off an enemy shinobi. She still had her cloak on so that the shinobi don't get distracted. She saw Kyoshiro, and immediately rushed towards him. "Kyoshiro san, where are the Kage?" Kyoshiro looked around, and when he saw the girl, his eyes narrowed, "Do I know you?" Sanmita just showed her sword and the Leaf insignia, and the boy's eyes widened, "You are her? God, what did you do last few days? Some kind of medicine to grow?"

Sanmita sIghed, " Can't explain right now. First tell me, where are the Kage?" Kyoshiro thrusted his sword into an enemy, and answered, "They just went to find the hideout. You are right on time, catch up with them FAST! They will need you, High commander..."

Sanmita nodded, and then rushed to the direction where he had pointed, and after a little while, stopped when she saw a group wearing tell-tale robes of Kage. They were facing a girl with rather buff stature, and she heard Shikamaru speak.

"You are that woman I fought when we were trying to catch Sasuke, aren't you?" He asked, and the woman smirked, "And you are that asshole who hid behind that blonde bitch with her crappy fan...ooh, she is here as well." The woman glanced at Temari, whose eyes narrowed. "I don't believe that son of a bitch Kabuto has now acquired Master's powers. I am in such a deep shit...but I think beating your and the fan-whore's ass will be a good compensation." The girl sneered, and Shikamaru sighed, "Your colorful way of speaking has not changed, even in death...what a drag." Temari muttered, "You are one to say...." and then addressed the Girl, "I will watch my words if I were you, bitch. No one who curses me or this lazy bum goes without tasting the power of my fan" The woman sneered, "Go and swing that in some Hanamachi, dumbass" and Temari glared. The Raikage muttered to the Hokage, "Cat fight..." and Hokage nodded, smiling slightly. Temari spat out, "If you are so intent on going back to hell the second time, then I will not hesitate." She took out her fan, and Shikamaru mumbled, "Troublesome....." as he went into his own stance. "All of you, go ahead. I and Shika will...hey, who is that?" She pointed at Sanmita. Kalina spotted the Hanatsuki on Sanmita's arm. "Sanmita, is that you?" Sanmita nodded impassively, and everyone's, except Tayuya (the buff girl) eyes widened. "But she...is tall...and...and older." Mizukage asked, and Marrik nodded, "She had gone to train at a place where time flows very slowly. She is 6 years older than the last you Kage saw her, and four year older than the last you sand siblings, and rest of us had seen. She is technically 19 years old, but 13 years old on papers." The non-konoha shinobi, save Gaara looked shocked.

Tayuya, however, had to open her mouth, "Why are you people getting so worked up about this whore? God, you people really are a bunch of fucking bitches and dickless bastards, staring at her like she had flipped or something. She isn't even pretty..." The other group had had enough of her continuous use of improper language, and Temari was seething, and surprisingly, Shikamaru was glaring at Tayuya with contempt. "As I was saying, I and Shika will take care of this abomination. You head further, we will catch upto you." The sand Kunoichi said, and Tayuya laughed, "I am not as weak as I was when we last fought. Kabuto might be a bastard, but he has brilliant brain between his ears, unlike you. I have got...certain new tricks. You stand no chance against me." The shinobi paid little heed to her. "You sure you can catch up with us, Temari?" Gaara asked, and Temari nodded. Naruto piped in, "Temari, we believe in you. Take care of the pineapple head here, he is easily lost." Shikamaru frowned, "I am supposed to be the man here Naruto. Those lines were delivered to wrong person..." But Naruto laughed, "I may be an idiot, but even I know who is the responsible one in your relationship."

Shikamaru replied with Sarcasm dripping in his voice, "Thank you for the vote of confidence, Naruto." and the Naruto sniggered. Marrik cleared his throat, "Ok, Temari-san. You and Nara san take care of her. We will proceed on infiltration. Rest of you, let us go?" He looked at Sanmita, and she nodded slightly. The Infiltration group then proceeded further following the Hokage, as they heard the beginning of fight between Wind mistress Temari, Shadow Genius Shikamaru Nara vs Former Sound five Kunoichi Tayuya....

When the enemy shinobi entered Marrik’s division, he took a single step and that was the last time your eyes could see him until all the enemies were laying out either cold or dead on the ground. Raikage had also done very exceptional. He swung his sword with intense power and precision. A few moments after the battle was over, Sanmita appeared behind Hokage and Raikage as they paused and began to walk forward into the next room. When Marrik turned around, he was stunned at how much more beautiful the girl had become. “Sanmita?” Hokage asked in a questionable tone. “Wow, you’ve grown, I hope you’ve improved as well.” Sanmita blushed at the comment and thanked Hokage. “Sanmita if you will, head back outside.” “Raikage and I would like to proceed alone, until we reach the labs and confront Madara.” “Then, we will send for you.” “Plus, I have a feeling Madara has started to summon the dead, we saw one of the Sound Five a while back.” “I figure if shes back, he must have just summoned some sound ninja. And with sound ninja, come Orochimaru.” “With Orochimaru, The Legendary Sannin follow, so they will need your assistance.” Sanmita nodded and spoke “Alright, but don’t start without me!” The girl ran and jumped back down the hole on the floor and went back outside to help the others. Marrik and Raikage headed toward the door, when suddenly, Raikage spotted a glowing yellow object in a corner near the door. “Marrik, what could that be?” Hokage walked over towards where Raikage pointed until he spotted the yellow light. “I don’t know, but I cant reach it with that boulder in the way.” Raikage drawed his sword and walked over to the boulder. “Leave that to me.” Raikage closed his eyes and slashed downward and then vertically until the boulder crumbled into tiny pieces. “It looks like a Kunai.” Marrik picked the glowing kunai up and smiled. “I would have never thought him to be this smart. Clearly, he is a shinobi of legend.” It was the three pronged kunai of The Legendary Fourth Hokage. “Minato knew we would need a portion of his chakra, along with the other former Kages to defeat Madara.” “So he decided to seal a portion of his chakra inside a kunai and hide it in here.” “Ill hold on to it.” Marrik placed the kunai in his flak and opened the door in front of him. The next room was huge! In the middle of the room, stood two shinobi whose chakra seemed all so familiar? Raikage and Marrik entered the door and walked toward the ninja in the center. “Well if it isn’t Asuma Sarutobi and Choza Akimichi.” “Two faces I would like to have been happy to see again…” “Same terms Lord Hokage.” Asuma and Choza walked toward Marrik and Raikage. “Forgive us for this Lord Hokage and Lord Raikage. Our will cannot follow our bodies.” The two shinobi lunged at Marrik and Raikage and the fight began….

Sanmita had however landed herself somewhere else. The whole cave was a kind of labyrinth, and the group had found itself landing at some unexpected places, with the whole place dividing itself again and again. The group started dividing, and this was one such moment.

"Sanmita, you got to understand this, I can handle myself, you might need help." naruto pleaded to her, and Sanmita shook her head, "No. I told you, it would be a waste for Hinata san to come with me. She should go with you." Hinata tried to reason with her," Sanmita, please be serious. Naruto kun can take care of himself, you are a different case. Sure you re strong, but..."

Sanmita just glared, "Hinata-san, I think its time you don't baby me around. I know my way of talking might hurt you, but please, we need to divide here. I can heal myself, and I can dispel a genjutsu. Two qualities that despite being a mighty Kage, Naruto sama...you have difficulty over."

There was a glaring match going between the Kunoichi and the Uzumaki, and in the end, Hinata made the decision. "Well then Sanmita, please don't die on us. I hope we will be able to find you soon." Sanmita nodded, and then went inside the dark cavern on her right. Her cloak still covered her, and she was glad, it was quite cold in the cave. So it came as a surprise when she suddenly found herself in a warm, enclosed room.

"Wait...room?" Sanmita looked bewildered, and looked around her. It most certainly was something like living quarters...but deep in a cave? A slight shifting alerted her of another presence in the room, and she whipped around to find herself face to face with a very familiar Uchiha.

"Hn. You are that girl..." he said smirking, snapping Sanmita out of her shock, and she glared, "What do you mean?" Sasuke Uchiha smirked, " You are that woman who forced me out of a battle after for first time after sixteen years. The woman I marked mine."

Sanmita felt her eyes widen, "Who the heck gave you the right to mark me as yours? I think that particular decision belongs to me....what...!" She managed out, as Sasuke moved in a blink behind her, and touched her neck, "Aah yes, you certainly are my possession, because an Uchiha always gets what he wants....so why take care of the preliminaries?" His one hand held her hands firmly, and other glided down to her waist, "But you have not acted appropriately towards your master; being with another man when I told you you would be mine...." Sanmita tried to release herself, "What...?"

Sasuke's hand was near her cloak's opening now, " Before that boy Madara used as his spy, Renshi, was killed, I myself tried to extract his memories. Sadly they were not of any use to Madara, but I saw a lot of things, and while they displeased me a lot, they also gave me slight insight...of what to expect...perhaps, tonight?"

Sanmita stiffened. Kalina had already told her about Renshi before they parted, and she could not register the pain it brought to her....she had learnt how to be numb to the feeling it brought to her. Same was this time, she became numb, and spoke tonelessly, "I am not a property, not his, not yours." But the man smirked, "Its too late to say that now..." and he held on the helm of her cloak, "I don't think you will need this.......it will only be an obstruction, for our fight....and our night" and tore it off. The cloak fell down, leaving Sanmita in another one of Virgo's revealing creations. The top was navy blue in colour, slightly punk style that revealed her cleavage, with silver knee-length shorts. A belt hung diagonally over her shorts, and her Suzume hung there with a scroll pouch. Hanatsuke was making a slithering motion in her arm. Her creamy skin was shining in the lamp-light, making her look a little exotic. "Hn. I chose well." Sasuke said, tracing a scar on her chest and her waist. "So, how should we begin? You want to enjoy being Sasuke Uchiha's consort first, or you want to be another one in the list of people who I defeated first? Let me decide...I will chose the first..." He snapped his finger, and Sanmita felt a sudden vertigo as her energy suddenly started leaving her body. "Hinata san, I have a feeling I might have to fight something Worse than death right now..."

Meanwhile, Marrik and Raikage prepared to defend themselves against Asuma and Choza’s attack when suddenly; a huge wave of sand swept Choza off his feet and slammed him into a wall. Then, Asuma was swept away by a large graceful wave of water. Raikage looked behind him, followed by Marrik to find Kazekage, Mizukage, and Tsuchikage standing behind them. “Naruto, Sanmita, Shikamaru, Hinata, Lee, Choji, Ino, and Sakura have arrived and took control of the battle outside.” “We rushed in to aid you.” Mizukage walked seductively past Raikage and pushed the next door open. “Follow me, it’s a flight of stairs, the lab should be down there.” The Five Kage rushed down the exhausting flight of stairs until they reached two broad doors with the Uchiha Crest on it. Marrik gave a assuring look to Lord Kazekage, and Mizukage pushed both doors open and all of the Kage walked in at the same rate and pace. They five shinobi looked around at all the giant vats and test tubes scattered everywhere. They stepped over dead bodies and beakers filled with different color liquids. “What could he have been experimenting on in here?” Hokage looked around at all the papers everywhere and the different formulas on the boards and walls. “Wow, Look at this.” Kazekage picked up a test tube. “It’s Iron Sand. This is a sample of the original Iron Sand of the Third Kazekage.” Kazekage put the sand in his gourd and it mixed with the regular sand already in there. The Kage met back at a desk in the center of the lab. “He’s isn’t in here, Where could he be?” The sound of something being moved and pushed down was then heard by everyone in the room. Tsuchikage then spoke saying “What was that sound?” The Kage then spotted a long formal dinner table like structure start to rise from the floor. Marrik walked over to the table and looked down on it. “These look like coffins.” The rest of the Kage came behind Marrik and stood on either sides of him. Marrik then opened the first prism, and dust flew out everywhere along with small spiders. Hokage looked in the coffin and in shock dropped the top to the now positive to be coffin on his feet. Hokage didn’t even realize the pain, for he was staring at the object inside the coffin. “This, This is the original body of The First Hokage of the Leaf.” “How is this possible?” One by one, The Kage started taking off the tops of the lids and in order they appeared. “The First Hokage, The Second Hokage, The Third Hokage, The Fourth Hokage, The Fifth Hokage, The First Kazekage, The Second Kazekage, The Third Kazekage, The Fourth Kazekage, The First Mizukage, The Second Mizukage, The Third Mizukage, The Fourth Mizukage, The First Raikage, The Second Raikage, The Third Raikage, The Fourth Raikage, The First Tsuchikage, The Second Tsuchikage, The Third Tsuchikage, The Fourth Tsuchikage.” “How has Madara obtained every original body of each previous Kage?” “What is all this for? What could he be planning to use the original bodies for.” “You mean what I did use the original bodies for.” The Five Kage spun around towards the door to see a tall shinobi in a long red robe with black Sharingan symbols on the bottom. The shinobi had long, flowing, spiky black hair which drug the floor as he approached the Kage. The man wore no mask, for his face was flawless with no scratches. “Madara Uchiha.” “Madara what have you done? You haven’t aged? What happened to you? That’s your original body!” “Allow me to tell a brief summary of how I’ve come to be, in my prime.” Madara approached the Kage and without the feel of being threatened, sat down in a chair and leaned back and stared at each of them. “After the Fourth Great Shinobi World War, I started to collect the bodies of all the former Kage.” “Some of the bodies were sealed using the Dead Demon Seal, which made it tough for me to retrieve them.” “But, back then I had one Rinnegan eye and one Sharingan eye.” “I decided I could use the power of the Rinnegan to attempt to learn the secrets of how to retrieve bodies from the Dead Demon.” “I absorbed the power of the Rinnegan, but the eye itself, I sold to the Dead Demon as a token of gratitude.” “He then gave me the bodies that I asked for and went about his business.” “I gave up my dream for the Moon’s Eye Plan when I was defeated at the hands of Naruto Uzumaki and the Joint Shinobi Alliance years ago.” “I decided to strive for something better than that.” Each of the Kage sat down in chairs in front of Madara, each staring at him angrily, but listening to him while he tells his story. “I decided what if I could obtain the special chakras and powers of each Kage.” “That should reawaken my Eternal Mongeykyou Sharingan.” “So I decided to experiment with what was left of there bodies.” “I obtained millions of cells that somehow survived there respective deaths.” “I tried to combine the cells, but each time I failed greatly.” “I then started to believe that it was impossible to bind each of their respective cells into one.” “Then, I realized I was doing it all wrong.” “It then dawned on me to instead of trying to combine the cells into one, to absorb the genetics of each cell and fuse them into a nanite serum.” “I succeeded at last, and injected myself with the serum.” “I decided to test my new abilities.” “Unfortunately, the serum only had five effects on me. The rest were failures.” “The first effect I experienced was the ability to mold and form chakra and jutsus without the use of hand signs.” “Perhaps that was a gift from the Second Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage.” “Then, I began to see that I was able to use the First Hokage’s Secret Wood Style Jutsus.” “They weren’t perfected as his, but they were close.” “The third effect was the return of my soul to my original dead body. My body took on its primal form and strength.” “It was a weird transformation, but when it was completed I felt so powerful.” “The fourth effect was the return of my Eternal Mongeykyou Sharingan.” “The last effect, What I think is the greatest result of this experiment, was my Sharingan’s new ability to literally tear apart ones mind until their point of destruction and finally death.” “This ability intrigues me greatly, because of the extent of pain it can cause.” “Your mind is literally in severe pain and is hurting to the point where it shuts down and you die.” The Kage look at Madara as he gives an evil smirk about the story he just told. “Alright! I’ve heard enough, This has gone on long enough, Time to die!” Madara activated his Eternal Mongeykyou Sharingan and rose from his chair after Raikage rose from his chair. “Not so fast Raikage, You mustn’t believe the extent of my power now, I believe I am stronger than the Sage of the Six Paths himself!” “Let me show you the extent of my power.” Raikage flipped over the desk and chair where Madara sat before and rushed at him with killing speed. Instantly, Madara’s Sharingan started to spin rapidly, and then started to flash black then red, and finally back to black again. Raikage stopped in midstep and trembled to the floor. “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” “Get out of my head!! ARGH!! HAAAAAA!” Raikage screamed in pure agony at the pain he was experiencing first hand. Mizukage then walked forward to Raikage as he layed on the ground screaming. “Raikage-sama…” Marrik then walked toward Madara and said “Madara please! Please stop this! You’re going to kill him! Madara!” Madara sidestepped and appeared behind Marrik and nearly startled him to death. Madara blinked once and Marrik’s body rose in the air and flung to a nearby wall cracking a rib and finally falling to the ground. “Don’t instruct me on how to use my newfound powers.” The cruel Uchiha blinked again and Raikage’s pain had seemed to cease. And ceased it did, Raikage leaned towards the floor and collapsed on the floor next to Mizukage standing above him. “Lord Raikage?” Mizukage knelt beside him and searched for a pulse. “He’s not breathing! Raikage!” Tears started to drop from here eyes, down her makeup filled face, and onto Raikage’s uniform. “He’s dead…” Madara appeared in the center of the room. “I told you, my powers are unrivaled.” “Let’s take this somewhere where there is more space.” Madara screamed and the roof collapsed and he jumped through the hole, all the way to the roof, and finally running outside to the war that was taking place. Each Kage except Raikage persued him relentlessly. Sanmita saw the figures hop through the roof in the distance and sped towards where they should have landed….

"Where are you heading off to, hmm? I hope you are not forgetting that you are powerless against me?" Sasuke sneered, and looked outside, "Hn. They have started fighting Madara. Fools. No one can rival that monstrosity now...." Sanmita was on her knees now, her mind whirling fast to get out of the situation. Unfortunately, there was none. Her Chakra was sapped out, and she could feel that the fight has started, a fight in which he could not partake.

The Uchiha moved towards her, "I feel I should not leave you completely powerless." Sanmita wanted to retort, but she didn't have enough strength. Sasuke impassively looked at her, "Hn. Surely, I should first make sure that you co-operate. I have never...indulged myself in these pursuits....and I hope I make it worth the trouble." Sanmita seethed as she collapsed on the floor. For some reason, she was not fainting at all. She tried to dispel if any Genjutsu was there, but couldn't. "Shit..." She wanted to cry. She had worked this hard for what..being raped? Sasuke however didn't seem have those intentions. He slowly laid her on his bed as she struggled feebly, and started stripping her little by little. She tried to punch, but he caught her hand and proceeded to strip her till she was left in her undergarments. His lips curved up, "Exquisite. I indeed chose well." and without a warning, he kissed her forcefully. Sanmita bit his lip, but it didn't faze him. His hands moved down to her undergarments, and he threw him aside. Yes, she was beautiful, and with his ministrations, aroused as well. She however was trying to struggle, making Sasuke want more of her. But he knew a war was looming ahead, and he had to fight in it. Madara had used his ability, but he was not as invincible as his Sharingan projected him to be. He could only use it once in every one hour, which meant he only had an hour to enjoy his tie with the girl. After that, he must fight them off.

But he had another problem in hand. Sanmita would be fighting as soon as he releases his technique from her. He wanted to make sure that she comes to him, that she wants him. A one night stand was not going to help, was it? The idea came to him almost instantly, and he looked at the girl. She glared at him, and it was her biggest mistake, because she had caught herself in the ultimate genjutsu, Tsukiyomi. She was still naked, but there was a difference. Instead of the cavern living quarters, she was in an ornate room with a bed donned by satin sheets. "Welcome to my world....My Tsukiyomi. Amazing isn't it, Itachi could use it only to torture his captives for 72 hours. But I achieved more than him, Tsukiyomi is now really fully controlled by my mind. The image I project is much more real. If I wish, I can project the feeling to myself as well....and instead of 72 hours, I have extended the time period into a week. So for a week, I will make you mine every single day, every single moment." Sasuke emerged from shadows, and Sanmita slumped into the satin bed.

She could not describe what that week was for her, for she was filled with deep hatred yet pure ecstasy both at the same time. The two conflicting feelings were difficult to manage. Every time he held her in his arms as he thrusted inside her, every time he filled her in, every time he kissed her, which was almost everywhere on her body, she could feel an overwhelming feeling of pleasure wash over her. It was not supposed to be like this! She books said she was supposed to hate this. So why was she wanting more and more of it, with passage of time? Sasuke thrusted inside her again, and this time, sucked on her breasts, and she felt reason leave her. For seven days, she was subject to non-stop sex by him, and when the illusion left. She was crying, her mind filled with what she had gone through. She looked up, and saw Sasuke standing up. She felt aroused at the mere sight of him, but realized what had happened. Shock was the dominant thing in her mind, and she could not even resist when Sasuke clambered over her. "This time, you will be mine for real", he smirked, and proceeded to do what he did in his illusion for one last time. Yes, the girl was one exquisite woman he had found himself. The next hour was perhaps the most amazing hour in his life, and that is coming from an Uchiha.

But Sanmita had had enough. She wanted to escape, dearly, for sake of her own sanity. She wanted to kill him first though, and when he pulled out of her, she managed wit every ounce of energy left in her, "Celestial release: Satan's soul!" Immediately, she was enveloped in light. Her hair turned white as they rose up, a crack appeared on side of her face. Her hands turned into claws, and her whole bode was covered in black leather clothes, wings and black leather boots. Her eyes were pulsating with anger, and Sasuke saw himself staring at the face of demon. She roared, and attacked the man. The fight did not last long. Despite being a hell lot powerful than almost all other shinobi, Sasuke Uchiha's attacks were rendered useless by the Kunoichi. He could not keep up with her speed and strength. Sasuke decided to use Susanoo, but before he could, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he looked down to see a hole made in his chest by Sanmita. She spoke tonelessly, "You will die within seconds. I have injected a poison in you that you can't fight." She made another swipe, and before Sasuke registered what she did, he was dead. Blood pooled over, and Sanmita laid down, exhausted, and severely tortured. Her body was protesting against her, wishing for more of sex, and her mind was still traumatized due to realization that she had just been raped for one whole damn week continuously. Determined to make sure that she doesn't get distracted by these two feelings, she decided to go down and help her comrades in battle. She had a lifetime to remain traumatized, but right now, she had other priorities.

As the Kage chased Madara through the crowds of fighting shinobi and dead bodies, Marrik looked around at the scale of destruction and death around him. “My God, this truly is war.” “So many of our shinobi have fallen trying to protect their village from the hands of evil. “Madara, his chakra is… Changing?” “Whatever he’s doing, it’s going to be big.” Marrik looked at Madara’s backside as he seemed to be making hand symbols as he was running through the crowd. “I recognize those symbols; He’s making a Grand Fireball Jutsu!” Marrik quickly made hand symbols as he ran and screamed simultaneously, “Stop! Don’t follow him! He is going to use that Jutsu to a scale that it will kill everyone on the field!” All the Kage stopped and turned toward Hokage. “Ive got to get us clear of that blast, or it shall surly kill us. Lord Hokage finished weaving hand symbols and aimed his hands at the other Kage. “Ninja Art: Time Space Barrier Ninjutsu!” In that flash of white light, the other Kage disappeared to another location not far from the scene of the battle. “No, I can’t contain a blast that big.” “If I don’t stop it though, everyone will suffer.” “I can’t deflect it…” “I have to take that blast. I have to let it hit me and not everyone else.” Marrik stopped and looked behind him at all the shinobi fighting in the distance. The Storm Sage planted his feet firmly in the ground and gathered chakra in his feet. The sky above began to darken from the enormous amount of chakra that enveloped the area. A short distance away, Madara prepared to unleash the Fireball that he hand conjured with his chakra. “This will make short work of these peons.” Madara used two of his fingers and covered his mouth and blew a huge fireball out. Marrik stared at the size and magnitude of the object that was headed toward him at a speed that would seem faster than light. Hokage took a deep breath and let the fireball get within range of his body. His arms drooped in front of him as if he were special needs. When the fireball was seconds away from Marrik’s body, his right arm slowly lifted and connected with the fireball. “LORD HOKAGE!” Sanmita screamed as she ran towards Marrik who had been hit by the incoming fire. Marrik swung his right arm at the huge ball of fire. Marrik screamed out in agony as his arm became engulfed in flames. “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Sanmita listened to the screams of Hokage as his arm connected with the burning sensation of the fireball. Marrik continued to embrace the pain and pushed his burning arm into the fireball. Amazingly, the fireball began to shift its direction towards a mountain instead of the shinobi behind Marrik. Marrik was indeed a smart man, he was risking his life, by using his arm and gathered chakra in his feet, to stand his ground and push the fireball in another direction. The fireball changed directions and Marrik swung his right arm that was totally burnt and disabled on the ground. Madara appeared behind Hokage and swung his War Fan at Hokage’s head. But before the fan connected, Marrik swung his burning arm at the fan. “HAAAAAA!” His arm connected with the fan, and then Marrik swung his foot at Madara’s chest, sending him flying back. “My arm… I can’t feel it. Surely, the nerves in my arm are gone beyond repair.” Marrik fell to the ground and tried to catch his breath. “I don’t know how much longer I can hold him off…” Madara walked towards Marrik as he lay on the ground holding his destroyed arm. “You truly are strong Hokage. You managed to deflect a blow from me and deflect my Jutsu.” Hokage slowly rose from the ground and replied to Madara’s comment. “My will drives me. My will drives me to do what I must. My arm is in dire pain. I can’t feel it anymore. But I will not stop because my body can’t follow my will.” “You’re strong Tenth Hokage.” “I don’t know how much longer you can hold your own against me, but we will see.” Marrik suspected that Madara was walking and talking to him, so that he would let his guard down. Marrik was right, but he knew not to let it down. Behind Marrik was a clone of Madara, preparing to strike him from behind. Marrik however, turned into a puddle of water when the clone hit him and reappeared behind the original Madara. “Im not some push over of a shinobi Madara. You underestimate me.” “You’re trying to talk me down so Ill let down my guard. I have seen that trick before and I won’t fall for it twice.” Madara punched Hokage dead in the face and he flew backwards. “What you won’t do is speak to me as if you’re my equal.” “Im stronger than you, faster than you, Better than---“Before Madara could finish his sentence, Marrik flung three shuriken at Madara and begun weaving hand symbols, finally saying, “Ninja Art: Shadow Shuriken Manipulation Technique!” The shuriken then multiplied and flew toward Madara, ripping his clothing in all places and scaring his face, leaving a thick line of blood. As the shuriken fell to the ground, Marrik charged his chakra and slowly, a line begins to glow blue in thin air. Marrik had secretly attached a line to the shuriken and sent some of his chakra into it. Marrik gave a tug on the line and the shuriken lit blue and flew backwards, finally hitting Madara’s feet and stabbing him. “HAA!” Madara let out a small scream as his feet began to bleed. “You can’t move until I pull the shuriken out, this should give me time to wrap my arm. Marrik pulled out a long cloth out of his pouch and began to wrap his arm up tightly. “Ill admit I did underestimate you. But that’s my downfall. Wrap your arm and let me go, and ill show you what true power is.” Marrik finished wrapping his arm, and stood up to Sanmita behind him helping him up. “Lord Hokage, Let me fight for a while, you go and bring the other Kage back.” Hokage nodded and ran towards the mountain which he teleported the other Kage too. ‘You’re fighting me now you scum!” “Prepare yourself…” Madara let out a high pitched laugh and smiled….

Sanmita stood in front of Madara, her face completely blank. Madara was still smiling at her as if she was some joke. Suddenly, he sniffed the air, and then smirked, "Aaah, so you were the one Sasuke was talking of, the girl to carry our lineage. It seems he has done the deed." Sanmita still remained impassive, but her insides rolled. The man's name brought his image in her mind, and that started to arouse her. Madara smirked at her, "Aah, it seems he did his work quite well. You will be excellent carrier to our lineage, being one of the prized celestial users."

Sanmita closed her eyes, "I don't think so. I have killed him. And now is your turn." Madara's eyes widened, but when she opened her eyes, the fury in them was staggering, "I will avenge for my parents, Renshi, Raikage sama, every single person who suffered because of you, and my innocence. You will pay Uchiha, lineage or not, I will kill you."

The eldest Uchiha smiled at her as if she was a tantrum throwing child, "No, my dear. Sasuke was much weaker than me, and that is without the eternal Mangekyo." But he felt a strange stab in his arm, "What...." he looked down, and saw an icicle deep in his flesh. Sanmita cocked her head, "You were saying?" and Madara shook his head as he spoke, "Fire release: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" and with a flick, a huge ball of fire formed over his finger. Sanmita raised her hands, "Ice release: Khione's Gaze" A tiny snowstorm started building between her hands, and when she threw it, the size of the storm increased ten-folds. The snow collided with fireball, and a huge amount of fog rose. Sanmita yelled, "Celestial release: Stellar fury. Fire empress!" A red-golden colored armor covered her, and she held a staff in her hand. "Don't dare use fire attack on me Madara, or electricity either. Electricity is ally of fire, and this armor makes me ruler of flames." Madara looked at her, "Very well. How about this? Water release: Water shark missile" the attack was fatal, but they did not harm Sanmita. She glared at Madara, "Water and wind will never work. They are my basic affinities."

Madara smirked, "Let me show you an my true strength. Chibaku Tensei!" He cupped his hand, and slowly a dark or formed in it. Sanmita could feel this was not going to end in her favor. "I have to use that technique. Damnit"She closed her eyes, and started gathering chakra. Madara laughed mirthlessly, "Its no use. This is the ultimate technique of the Rinnegan masters. You can not defeat it, or avoid it." He launched the ball on the girl. Sanmita, still her eyes closed, shuddered, and suddenly, She screamed. "GAAAAAAH! AAARGH!!!!" Her eyes snapped open, and her body started covering itself in Silver armor. Her eyes were wild, and the chibaku Tensei engulfed her. Madara panted, with a smile of victory over his face. But his glee was not long lived, as he saw cracks appearing in the chibaku tensei ball. Suddenly, it broke as if made of plastic, and Sanmita emerged from within. For the first time in many years, he felt scared. Sanmita was not human looking anymore. Her eyes were void of iris, her body covered with silver scales, a pair of wings attached behind her. Her Hanatsuki was a fully developed dragon now. Whn she spoke, it was a different voice, "Celestial release: Titania- ten wheels of Justice"

She rushed at Madara, and he was just in time to raise his battle fan to clash with her dragon claw. She put her other hand on his face, "First wheel..." his cheeks started bleeding. She spun, and caught his battle fan, "Second Wheel." The fan burst into flames. Madara cussed, the cibaku tensei took a lot of chakra off him, and without his fan, his strength was dwindled. Sanmita was panting, and she reverted to her old self. "I underestimated you. But...you are stronger....much strong. I think its time I play my final card. Eternal Mange..."Sanmita quickly closed her eyes, and making a Kanji for door on ground, started to summon Open the gate of Fiery Lion: Leo!" A man in Tuxedo sprang up from seal, and Sanmita screamed, "Use Regulus!"

She was a little late however. Madara had completed the sharingan. Pain. The only thing that she could feel was extreme pain. Excruciating. Amidst that, Madara appeared, "Yes. You are in my world. This sharingan gives you so much pain and despair, you kill yourself with agony. Let me show you some...stuff." Her father, in his ANBU Uniform appeared in front of her. On her left, her mother, bedridden, in her last moments....on her right, Renshi writhing in agony due to the Eternal Mangekyo, and last....her, being raped by Sasuke. The scenes repeated, and alog with immense agony, she was seeing what she made her wish to die. No...not wish, she would die. That is the only way.....

Sanmita was just about to kill herself in the eternal Mangekyo realm, when Leo screamed, "Regulus Flare!" aimed at the Uchiha. Madara screamed, his eyes burnt. Sanmita was in shock. Her eyes were blank, a sudden feeling enveloped her. "Forbidden Celestial Technique: Satan soul." She transformed herself into a demon, and unlike fight with Sasuke, she had lost her Humanity that time, and attacked madara. By this time, the Shinobi was greatly crippled, and little by little Sanmita injured him, killed him. She first made sure to permanently disable his eyes. The fight could not last longer, and the final Uchiha took his last breath. "You...finished me. Finally...an end." He screamed, "AAARGHH! DAMN THAT UZUMAKI! THE RINNEGAN..." suddenly, a white light came out of his throat, and rushed away, Leaving Madara still...dead.

Sanmita collapsed, and Leo caught her. But as soon as he touched her, she flinched, and started hyperventilating. Her eyes were wide, fearful. Leo got worried. "Sanmita"..."Don't...come...get away!!" Sanmita screamed, and fell on her knees. She held herself, and closed her fist so hard, her knuckles went white. Suddenly, she swayed, and this time, she lost consciousness. "I would better take her to the others..."

On the other side, the white thing issued from the mouth of Madara flew, gracefully, and then one of the strings broke off. It landed in Raikage's lifeless body in a tent nearby, and suddenly, he started breathing. The white wisps carried on till Konoha, in a morgue. A few moments later, a morgue attendant was hyperventilating, as he told his boss how Body no. 1576 had suddenly come to life. The boss asked, "Whose body is it?" The attendant, shaking with fear replied, "A man named Renshi Haruno..."
