Disclaimor: I don't own Naruto

A/N: Even though i call it a three-sided war (Mostly reffering to Moon/Leaf/Sound) This does involve all the other villages.


Chapter 1: The Return of Team 7!

---Island off the Coast of Twilight Country---

It was a dark night. Clouds filled the skies, blocking any stars from view, as well as the moon. The forest was vast. Most creatures at the time were sleeping. So most didn't notice as five shadows were jumping along the trees.

The first was an old man with gray hair beard and mustache. He was wearing a black trench coat, black shirt, black pants, and black boots.

The second was a slightly a young adult, in his early twenties. He wore a standard jounin outfit. He also had on a bandanna, where his hiaete was placed, to cover his baldhead.

The third is a boy, no older than fifteen. He had long silver hair, reaching passed his shoulder, and green eyes. He wore Dark gray baggy pants and a matching muscle shirt. Black Boots and fingerless black gloves. Lastly was a Black Trench Coat. The coat was made of cloth, the back reaching down pass his knees and the sleeves going down and almost covering his hands. His trench coat hid the wakizashi's on his back and the instruments on his wrist.

The fourth was another boy, who looked about fourteen. This boy had Dark Blue Hair and Purple pupiless eyes covered by glasses. He had Blue pants, a Blue long sleeved shirt, black shoes, and a chunin vest. His belt had multiple pouches placed on them.

The fifth was a boy and was most likely the youngest. He had wild spiky black hair and cold blue eyes. He was wearing black baggy pants and black boots. He had a long sleeved dark blue jacket; dark gray V like stitching extended from both shoulders and met half down his chest, on both sides of the jacket. The jackets zipper was up, which prevented his Black muscle shirt to be revealed. Lastly were the dark blue gloves, with dark gray stitching from the knuckles to the wrist. On his belt were two large Fuuma shurikan.

The five figures continued to jump through the trees. The one in front, the old man, raised his hands and started doing hand signs to the other, "We're coming up on the base, and all of you get ready", He signaled to the others in sign language. It was almost impossible to see in the dark, but they all saw it.

They all stopped at the edge of the forest. They came upon a huge clearing. In the center of laid a huge, three story, Mansion; surrounded by a two story concrete wall. Multiple torches, on top of the wall, lit the area up. There were multiple guards all around.

"Idiots…nothing but a bunch of lowly mercs…none of them even Ninjas." Signed the old man. "Alright boys. Vann…you take care of the ones out here. Most of the guards are most likely inside the gates, but outside the mansion…I'll handle those…you boys will go and take out Toguro. After me and Vann are done, we'll save the prisoners." They all nodded…though the aged man didn't see it…or need to see it. They all jumped in.

---Toguro Mansion---

"Hey bro!", called out one of the guards to one of his comrades. "You got a light?"

"Geez man…those things are going to kill you one day…you know that right?"

"OH SHUT UP! Do you…or do you not…have a light?" asked the first bandit again.

The one he was talking to sighed and pulled out a match, lit it and held it out. The mercenary, a cigarette in his mouth, lead in to light the cigarette. "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique). A giant fireball went right by the guard holding the match and hit the guard with the cigarette. The one who didn't get burned looked at the ashes that were left of his comrade.

"ENEMY ATT-" He was cut off as something sharp stabbed him in the neck. The last thing he saw was a man wearing a bandanna running passed him.

Vann looked around as he saw multiple mercenaries running towards him. At least ten surrounded him, swords unsheathed. He grinned. Out of the corner of his eyes he could see the teammates scaling the wall. He put his hands into a hand seal. "Genjutsu: Nenshou Makai no Jutsu (Illusionary Technique: Burning Hell technique). Suddenly the landscape around the guards quickly disappeared and was replaced by a volcanic landscape. The ground was red, as was the sky. Lava flowed all around them like rivers. The guards were horrified. They felt as if there skin was melting. "AAAAHHHHH", screamed several of the thugs in pain.

Soon they passed out. Vann dispelled the genjutsu smirking. Other guards, who arrived after the genjutsu was placed, could only stare in horror. Vann's smirk widened as he pulled out a kunai.

---Inside the gate---

The four nins jumped over the wall, quickly killing the mercenaries they met along the way.

They landed in a large field to see multiple. They looked around to see at least thirty guards waiting for them, swords unsheathed. Obviously they heard the commotion outside.

Vincent looked towards the mansion noticing the guards, which were very close together. He grinned, quickly pulled out kunai, with explosive tags on them, and threw them at the guards. Explosions rocked the area and blasted the line of guards away. "GO NOW!" The three boys ran through the opening before anyone could stop them. They ran towards the mansion and at the same time slammed through the door.

Vincent turned back to the mercenaries that were still around him. He smirked and preformed a hand seal, Genjutsu: Hitonomi Tsuchi no Jutsu (Illusionary technique: Swallowing Earth technique).

The guards started letting out shrieks. The ground beneath them changed from grass to sand. Quick sand to be exact. The guards started sinking into the ground, struggling to find a way to free themselves from their blight.

In the real world Vincent was smirking as he saw the guards around them sprawled about the ground struggling. He pulled out a kunai.

---Mansion---

The three boys were running through the mansion. The mansion was nicely decorated. Nice furniture and paintings all a long the walls. Tiled floors, white walls. The boys sneered when they thought about how the man possessed the assets to live in such luxury.

"Toguro will probably be in the third floor…I can see the main room with the stairs", said the blue haired boy.

The other two nodded. They all jumped through the large doorway. What they saw before them made them halt. Five guards, swords drawn, stood in front of the large stairwell. They heard something come behind them and turned to see another fifteen guards in back of them. They got into a triangular formation, backs pressed against each other. The silver-haired ninja facing the fifteen guards, the other two facing the other five.

"Get through those…I'll hold back these guys", declared the silver-haired ninja.

The other two nodded. The black-haired one spoke, "Be careful Ookami." The two ninja then launched themselves at the guard.

The black-haired ninja quickly, putting the fingers in his right hand into a fist, with the exception of his pointer and middle finger. 'Hikari-Kakuhan', Golden energy surge through his fingers and a long golden rope emerged from his fingers. The beautiful fifteen-foot rope grabbed one of the guards by foot, and quickly slammed him into another guard. The other three were quickly disabled by a flurry of senbon needles. The two ninja ran up the stairs.

---Ookami---

Ookami smirked at the situation he was in. He quickly reached into a pocket in his trench coat and grabbed a scroll. He pulled it out, bit his finger, wipe the blood on a seal on the scroll, and threw the scroll up, unraveling it at the same time. In a poof of smoke, the scroll disappeared and two wakizashis, sheathed, appeared in the air, the quickly fell in Ookami's waiting hands.

The hilts of the blades were silver and black. The sheaths of the sword were as black as night, with silver kanjis on them. One had fire and the other ice. He snapped the wakizashi's on his belt, to hold the sheaths in place, and quickly started to unsheathe both blades slowly. The blades were black as well. When the were about half way unsheathed, he quickly pulled them out in a quick motion. The blade of the wakizashi, in his left hand, glowed red and became engulfed and fire. The other blade glowed blue and in a swirl of water was covered in a larger icy blade, the blade was much longer and wider than the wakizashi's actual blade. 'I can only hold this for a little more than a minute with my reserves…not push myself', as he thought this to himself he ran after the mercenaries with a howl.

He quickly rushed at one and sent a slash with his fiery sword. The merc managed to block the attack, but the fiery blade struck so close to his hands that it ended up burning it, causing him to drop the blade, and getting slash by the fiery sword. '1.'

Two tried to rush the swordsman, but he quickly sidestepped there attacks and thrusted his icy blade at one, running him through, and quickly slashed the other with the fiery blade. '3.'

Another tried to rush him from his right. He moved his right arm in a way, so that the sleeve of his trench coat move back, revealing some type of device on it. He used his teeth to pull on a string, which forced the device to fire a number of Senbon needles at his oponent, muttering, 'Shikomishindan (Prepared Needle Shot)!' The needles caught the mercenary in the neck. Ookami then lunged at him with his icy blade, stabbing him in the neck. '4.'

He turned to the others and smirked…he could see the fear in their eyes.

­­---Third Floor---

The two warriors were once again dashing down a long hallway. They ignored the paints, other artwork, windows; but the two men that ran in front of them got there attention. However, the two ninja didn't stop running. The black-haired boy actually chose to run faster, his eyes mysteriously changing from blue to silver. He did a frontal summersault, landing on his hands, and sprung forward, flipping in the process. When he was once again vertically upside down, he started spinning, spreading his legs so that it looked like he was spinning like a helicopter. The two guards tried to attack the boy, but his flurry of kicks blocked their katanas and also kicked them both in the face. He landed, once again on his hands, and sprung up again. He did a spinning kick to the one on his left, sending him crashing against the wall knocking him out. This time he landed on his feet, and preformed a sweep kick to the other one, knocking him down as well. The guard didn't even have time to get up when he felt a senbon needle pierce his neck, noticing the crackle of electricity running through him as he lost consciousness. The black-haired boy's eyes changed back to blue.

The two ninjas quickly started running once again, in the same direction as before.

They came across a huge door, obviously the master bedroom. Four guards popped into there view, all armed with bows and arrows. The guards fired. This time it was the blue-haired boy who ran faster, the other stopping. The bespectacled ninja started spinning. "Hakkesho Kaiten (Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin)"

A dome of blue energy covered the boy, blocking the arrows at the same time. The guards were in shock. When the dome dissipated, the boy was left standing there glaring at the four mercs. Two giant Fuuma shurikans flew pass the boy, courtesy of his black-haired companion, and struck two of the guards. The other two could only stare at there companions before attempting to attack again. But a flurry of senbon needles stopped that plan easily. The black-haired ninja moved right next to his companion, his eyes once again silver. He put his arms out in front of him, and the two Fuumas somehow came flying back. Once he grabbed them, he flicked them closed and placed them on his belt. The two ninjas nodded to each other. They ran at the door full speed, jumped at the door and kicked it open.

---Master Bedroom---

The two ninjas slammed into the bedroom door and quickly found themselves in what had to be the master bedroom.

They couldn't be more shocked at what happened next. Two figures jumped out of a king sized bed.

The first was an old man; gray hair, fat, and a terrified look on his face. He had the bed's quilt cover his obvious naked body. 'Toguro', thought the black-haired ninja.

The second was…just a little girl…she couldn't have been older than eight years old. This sight had both ninjas shocked to the core, but then there faces twisted in a disgusted snarl. The little girl had wine-red hair and blue eyes. She was clutching her arms around herself, huddling in a dark corner, trying to hide her naked body. They could hear her crying.

'Toguro…weapon's smuggler, drug dealer, and the list just goes on and on. He's been terrorizing the citizens of this island for supposedly five years. Taxing them for 'protection'. Fining them heavily for every little transgressing. Destroying homes…families…raping woman, saying he was only performing his 'right' as self-proclaimed 'savior'…' He paused to look at the child before him, 'and apparently little even girls aren't safe from them…The village leader said this guy was sick…but I couldn't image that he was this much of an asshole.'

He snarled once again as he pulled out a Fuuma shurikan, flicking it open. He took a step forward but stopped as he felt something touch his shoulder. He turned to see the hand that belonged to his comrade. "Yami…grab the girl and take her outside…"

Yami sneered. "Why do you get to have all the fun Inochi…" muttered the black-haired boy.

Inochi didn't even look at Yami. "You don't have enough restraint…that's why…"

Yami was seething on the inside but he also knew his friend was right. Yami wasn't exactly a wild person but he was ready to kill this man…he had been for days now when he heard about all the things the man had been doing and getting away with, this new atrocity put him over the edge. He sighed and flicked closed his Fuuma shurikan. He walked over to the little girl at the far corner, trying not to look at the man at the other corner.

"HEY THAT'S MY BITCH! GO FIND YOUR OWN!" Yami's eyes snapped wide, he was about go after the man. He turned only to find Inochi right in front of Toguro with a glowing hand. Yami wasn't sure what Inochi had done; but Toguro was now currently on the ground, clutching his groin through the sheets, howling in pain.

Yami smirked and repressed a laugh. He turned back to the little girl, who looked like she was trying to become invisible. He grabbed a sheet from the bed. When he got closer to the girl and mentally thanked whatever deity was watching over her. She was still wearing her underwear, meaning he hadn't gotten around to raping her yet…hopefully. He wrapped the blanket around her and picked her up, ignoring her struggles. She was still struggling and crying out for him to not hurt her; all he did was try to shush her as he carried her out, whispering reassuring things.

When Yami and the girl left the room, Inochi turned back to the man, kicking him in the stomach at the same time. "I want the keys and or combination to your vault." He pulled the man close to his face. "Give me what I want and you'll leave here alive…" He slammed the man's head against the wall. "Lie to me and well…lets make this simple…you DO NOT want to meet my other three teammates…if you think the other was bad…are you in for a surprised…" He quickly threw the man over his shoulder, slamming him on the floor. "NOW! YOUR ANSWER!"

The man was trying to suppress a cry.

---Yami---

Yami and the little girl had just arrived to what appeared to be a loft, nearby the door to the master bedroom. When he had gotten outside the main door, he had pulled his jacket off and put it on the girl. The jacket being far to big for her getting to a little above her knees, her hands concealed by the sleeves. They walked into a random hallway and started looking for a place to rest, which really didn't take them long, outside the door being out of the option do to the corpses.

He set the little girl down on the only chair in the area, right in front of a desk. She was still crying, though she apparently no longer believes Yami was going to harm her.

He kneeled down beside her, "Can you tell me you name?"

Through her crying Yami managed to make out Sasami. She had her hands, which were cover by the long sleeves of Yami's jacket, covering her face.

He looked at her confused…trying to think of some way to get her to stop crying… "Hey", he smiled, "I'll tell you what Sasami, when I'm done here I'll take you back to go see your mommy and daddy."

But if possible, this just made the girl started crying harder. "M-o-m-m-m-my...D-a-a-a-a-dd-dy…"

He smiled slightly, "That's right…soon you'll be with them again." He put a arm on her shoulder for reassurance.

But the moment he made contact with her though, she looked up at him with a tear-streaked face… "Y-y-y-y-yes-t-t-ter-d-day T-t-t-gor-u k-k-k-k-i-i-l-l-ed them…" She said then quickly put her face in her hands again, balling.

Yami cursed himself for bring up that memory, and his village for not dispatching their team sooner. But most of all he cursed Toguro. Yami couldn't think of a single thing to calm the crying girl.

"What the hell is this?"

Yami turned to look at the source of the voice, cursing himself dropping his guard. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw Vincent and Ookami at the hallway. Yami couldn't think of a single thing to say. Vincent looked at Yami and then towards the little crying girl. When he looked at her he let out a snarl…but then he smiled. A smile that made Yami and Ookami wanna wet themselves in terror. Vincent, without a word, turned and left.

Ookami entered the loft and leaned against the wall.

Yami sighed, he turned to the girl again, "Would you like anything to eat…or maybe some water?", he asked. She didn't answer…making Yami sigh again. He pulled out a water cantine, noting that it was empty. He put it down on the floor before himself and preformed a few hand seal. "Suiton: Mizu Moyoushi no Jutsu (Water Release: Water Gathering Technique)!" Afterwards he didn't another set of hand seals. "Hyoton: Netsu Shizuku no Jutsu (Ice Release: Temperature Drop Technique)!" He could see a misty like substance escaping from the edges of the cantine's, closed, top. He picked it up, opened it, and took a sip. 'May not be able to freeze things water enough for Ice Jutsu yet…but at least I can cool down water.' He held it up towards Ookami. Ookami shook his head to decline.

He tried asking Sasami again. "Here why don't you have something to drink?"

This time he seemed to get her attention; she looked up still crying and grabbed the bottle. She started drinking the water quickly, to quickly that she almost seemed to choke.

"Yami…", said boy turned to the silver-haired ninja, "Looks like you fine here…I'm gonna go check on Vann…he should be escorting the prisoners." The blacked haired boy nodded, and Ookami started heading out.

Yami went to the window and looked out…he had made sure earlier that there weren't any corpses outside the window…as to not scare the girl anymore than she was. 'The mission…infiltrate the base…find a way into Toguro's safe…steal one of his wagons and transfer the goods over to the village…' He paused to look at the girl, 'and save any of his prisoners…' Yami continued to stare out the window…until something caught his eye. There standing on the wall was some kind of black dog… 'Looks like a wolf…'

The black dog howled… 'Wolf…definitely a wolf…' He jumped at the window that Yami was staring at him from, spinning like some kind of whirlwind. Yami's eyes widened as he jumped away from the open window, just as the wolf rammed through it, shattering it.

Sasami shrieked in horror. Yami grabbed her…pulling her off the chair and led her to the hall; he put her down and pushed her through it, "RUN NOW!"

Yami turned around just in time to sidestep the wolf's attack. Yami quickly turned around, pulling both of his Fuuma shurikan in the process. He left them closed though, opting to use them as claws.

On the other side of the wolf, he could see the terrified redhead looking at him from a safe distance.

"YAMI!", Yami saw Ookami run pass Sasami and into the hallway, with two, silver-bladed, wakizashis. They both surrounded the large animal.

The wolf jumped at Yami, attacking with fangs and claws, which Yami blocked with his makeshift claws. Ookami ran up and started trying to attack the animal with his swords and Yami did the same with his Fuuma.

The wolf easily dodged the attacks and quickly went into another spinning attack. Both ninja went to block but were still knocked out of the way by the impact. After the wolf runs passed them he turns to stare at both warriors as they started to rise again. The wolf looks towards the window and jumps through it.

Ookami and Yami are both panting… Ookami turns to Yami and asks… "Ummm…wasn't that…"

Yami nodded quickly… "Yep…that was Shadow."

---Meanwhile with Inochi---

"I DON'T WANT YOU DAMN MONEY!", screamed the medic nin as he punched the man again. Wasn't exactly true...Inochi wanted the combination of the safe...so he can return all the goods back to the people...But Toguro kept trying to buy him off.

"Leave him alone Inochi…", Inochi turned to see Vicent at the door.

Vincent walked forward, just as Toguro started making more money offers. Vincent silenced him with a kick to the stomach. "Tell me Toguro have you ever gone traveling…locked inside of a chest filled with spiders…", grinned the aged ninja. Toguro's eyes widened.


A/N: Hope you all enjoyed the update...Ok the story behind Sasami...

A friend of mine thought that i lacked a character like Konahamaru...And that i should put a relationship brotherly-sisterly...like Naruto/Konahamaru...so i thought of something like this...but I'm not sure... So I'm going to hold a poll for all my loyal fans...all 10 or so of you...

Anyway...Originally Yami and Ookami lived in a three bedroom apartment...Inochi was going to move in with them after the chunin exam...Now here are the three options i was thinking of...

1) Yami drops Sasami off in an Orphanage (She's gone forever)

2) Sasami moves in with Yami and Ookami. I make up an excuse on why Inochi didn't move in with his friends. (She becomes a Minor Character)

3) Yami convinces somone, Most likely Megumi who's never had a child, to take care of Sasami. (She becomes an even MORE Minor Character)

Anyway...let me know what you think.

Please read and review.
