For almost a day Michi, Oita and Blank follows Temari as she walks towards Konoha. Not far from them Nila and the Hyuuga team are scouting the perimeter. Suddenly Michi raise her hand and began sniffing the air. “What?” ask Blank. “I smell Hyugas. Lots of Hyuugas. And one of them have the Hokage’s smell.” Says Michi. “Must be your target. Is today their gathering day?” ask Oita. “No. I smell other ninjas. And they reeked of Will of Fire.” Says Michi. “Konoha Army?” ask Blank. “Maybe. Something must happen if Konoha amasses such large number of ninja.” Says Oita. “We need to lure Nila out. To do that we need a bait.” Says Michi. All three of them looks at Temari.

At the Hyuugas location, Nila and her team moves closely until one of the Hyugas raise his hand. “Mistress. There are something up ahead. Should I check it out?” ask the Hyuuga. Nila looks at the direction with her Byakugan and saw a body hanging upside down from a tree. “I’ll go. You two come with me.” Says Nila and she with two Hyuugas approach the body while the other Hyuugas stay back. Nila and her two guards approach the body and she saw Temari. She put her finger to Temari’s neck. “She’s alive. Take her down.” Says Nila and the guards pull Temari down. “Why is she hanging up there? Unless… IT’S A TRAP!!!!” scream Nila. Suddenly two snakes appear from the ground and bite both Hyuugas, inflicted them with poison that paralyzed them. Nila looks up and saw Blank jumping down from the trees and land behind her. She turns around but before she can do anything Blank punches her guts and Nila fell to her knees. Blank quickly took out a bottle and spray a gas to Nila’s face, knocking her out. The Hyuugas behind Nila saw what happened and they charge towards Blank. AS they focus on Blank, the Hyuugas didn’t notice Oita and a giant spider on top of them. Oita signals the spider and it shoots web to the Hyuugas, immobilizing them. “That went well.” Says Oita. “We must move quickly.” Says Blank. “Incoming!!!” yelled Michi and she jumps up to the trees. Blank looks at immobilize Hyuugas and saw Hope and Izo jumps over them.

Hope rush towards Blank while Izo rush towards Oita. Blank quickly makes a hand seal, “Water element: Grand Water Wave.” Says Blank and shoots a huge tidal wave of water towards Hope. Quickly Hope extends both of his arms. “Absorption Technique.” Says Hope and Izo jumps pass him and charges towards Oita. He sneers and a snake appears behind Izo and ensnares him. Izo falls to the ground and before he can do anything, Michi jumps from trees and stomps on Izo’s head, knocking him unconscious. “Now, while Hope is distracted by the tidal wave.” Says Michi and all three escapes with Nila. The tidal wave is gone and Hope looks around and saw Izo knocks out. “Amazing team work. It seems we under estimate them.” Says Hope and then he makes a hand seal. “Do you hear me general? Nila is captured.” Says Hope. “What? The Hyuugas?” ask Naruto. “Immobilize.” Says Hope. “No……” says Naruto. “Don’t worry they wont kill her. Yet. She is the bait.” Says Hope. “How can you stay so calm, Hope?” ask Naruto. “Because panicking wont do me any good. Bring the medic to the front. We have some injuries.” Says Hope. “Understood.” Says Naruto.

Outside Rain Village.

Sasuke, Shisio, Mikoto and the Marine Squad are greeted by Reika who now wears Kyo’s armor. Girls,take the injured guests to the infirmary. Sasuke, lets have a chat shall we.” Says Reika as Kakuya and kimiko took Shisio and Dolphin back into Dream’s lab. “What do you want?” ask Sasuke. “Straight to the point. I like it. I know you need to see Dream about your, condition. But to get there you need to get pass me first.” Says Reika. Sasuke looks at her suspiciously. “What do you want?” ask Sasuke again. “You see, your best buddy is gathering an army and have declared ninja war.There is many situations I can take advantage. Such as bring your corpse to the Hokage as a peace offering.” Says Reika and she look at Sasuke with devilish eyes. Sasuke quickly grabs his sword. “That won’t do you any good. Beside I’m a sage. Or I can give you Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and you will stand by my side.” Says Reika. “What makes you think I will stand by your side?” ask Sasuke. Reika grins and wave her hand. Then a figured appear behind Reika and approach them closer and closer until Sasuke can see it’s face. Sasuke face is frozen with shock with what he sees. Uchiha Itachi. “You like it? Think Sasuke. When you stand with me and win this war. I can ask Dream to recreate your clan. Your family. Your parents. The noble Uchiha will be back on the map. What do you say, partner?” ask Reika. “I heard many story about you. Your reputation is quite dubious.” Says Sasuke. “People say many things, Sasuke. They can say ten lies in one truth.” Says Reika. Sasuke looks at her and then look at Itachi’s clone. “Do you want the Uchiha die when you or your boy dies?” ask Reika. Sasuke walks pass Reika and stops. “ I will ally with you for the moment. But I expect you to hold your promise.” Says Sasuke.

“Good. I will show you the way.” Says Reika and then she mumble to herself. “In case you betray me, I have a back up plan.”

At Sand Village.

Gaara and the rest of the Sand Village gathered at Scar’s funeral. Kuja stands up and looks at the crowd. “You all know old man Scar. He’s good ninja. A bit edgy, cranky but a good ninja. I remember when I was a genin.” Says Kuja.

Flash back.

A young Kuja is running towards Scar. “I’m sorry old man. I lost the bracers and scroll you took from Sound. You know the one you gave me. I did everything I can to take it back from those missing nin.” Says young Kuja. “What why didn’t you tell me when it got stolen?” ask Scar. “I didn’t want to because I didn’t want you think I can’t handle it like a man.” Says young Kuja. “Kid that’s the point being in a village. So you don’t have to worry about stupid things like handling like a man.” Says Scar. “What?” ask young Kuja. “We never fight fair boy. We believe in overwhelming force. At least I do.” Says Scar. “Wow, that’s the most logical thing I’ve heard. Even more logic than the Kazekage’s talking about handling like a man.” Says young Kuja.

End flashback.

Gaara looks at Kankuro. “Scar teach the kids to think like that?” ask Gaara. Kankuro just shrugs. Kuja looks at Teru. “I’m maybe he’s most trusted student, but you Teru are his most beloved. He left something for you kid.” Says Kuja and he took out a giants scroll. “Inside this is where he wrote his best jutsus and technique. And he wants me to gave it to you, if anything happens to him.” Says Kuja and he walks towards teru and hand him the giant scroll. “Just to let you know, you’ve got the whole village with you. Overwhelming force.” Says Kuja. Teru looks at him. “Thanks. But I’m gonna study this scroll, master it and I will defeat the Mikoto guy, one on one.” Says Teru. “Suit yourself. But like the old man says. When you got a village behind you, there is no reason to fight fair.” Says Kuja. “I‘ll pass. I believe in the Kazekage’s principle.” Says Teru.
