Without a word, Neji sat down at the table next to Hinata. She tensed up as soon as he entered and remained silent until she heard her father's voice speak up.

"Well I have some clan business to take care of before the meeting this afternoon.", he said directing his focus solely on Neji, who nodded in understanding as he watched his uncle exit the room.

A plate of food was placed in front of him and he slowly began to eat. Hanabi, never being one for awkward silences, searched her mind for something to say. The situation was so tense and word choice would be crucial. The last year had put the Hyuuga clan through a lot of strife and the two people who sat before her were the ones who had had the most pressure put on them.

-Flashback-

After thinking he had killed his brother, Sasuke abandoned his Team Hebi and returned to his home village. Since he had not kill actually killed anyone in his time away, except for two of the most elusive shinobis in the Bingo Book, he was granted amnesty in return for all the information he had acquired. After two months he had returned to life as a Konoha Shinobi, rekindled his old friendships and had finally begun a long overdue relationship with one Haruno Sakura.

After Sasuke's abandonment, Team Hebi was taken up by Kabuto who was still under the influences of Orochimaru. Under their new direction they prepared to invade Konoha in an attempt to retrieve Sasuke, so that he could finally become the next vessel for Orochimaru. Akatsuki, always being in the know, heard about the invasion and felt this would provide the perfect distraction for them to finally obtain the Kyuubi.

And so it began.

All around there were Shinobi locked in fierce battles with the enemies. Ino had intercepted Karin on her way to find Sasuke at the Uchiha mansion. After throwing around a few choice words and teasing puns the two kunoichis sprung at each other bearing their weapons. A couple of minutes passed and it appeared as though Ino was going down, until Tenten appeared to back her up. It took a mere hour before Karin lay dead on the grass sporting a multitude of weapons in her bloody chest, with the two Konoha kunoichis panting nearby and Ino tending to their wounds.

The sword carrying member of Team Hebi had strolled into the village half looking for Sasuke and half exploring the foreign place. The town was abandoned, all the people having been evacuated to safety and the only people that remained were the enemies and the Shinobi. Suigetsu was attempting to avoid conflict until he found some truly worthy shinobi by stalking from rooftop to rooftop, it was not long before he accidentally ran into Shikamaru who, likewise, was attempting to avoid needless fighting. It was clear at a glance that their fight was inevitable, so after a moment of joking jabs and sigh Shikamaru, along with Choji who was always with him, attacked. Their fight extended over almost every rooftop in the village, adding to the fact that it was high noon, meant perfect conditions for Shikamaru, who got a little too cocky and a little too close. The fight intensified as Suigetsu struck down Shikamaru, leaving only Choji. Seeing his friend fall was worse then seeing someone else eat the last chip. He went over the edge and his rage gave him enough fuel to kill the enemy in only one fatal attack. Without hesitation he attacked once more to make sure he was truly dead before rushing his best friend to the hospital. The word "troublesome" could be hear behind gritted teeth as the two sped off.

Not everyone was having such an easy time though. Kiba, Akamaru and Shino, who were training together at the time of the attack were unfortunate enough to get attacked by none other than Hoshigaki Kisame. Having been training for the past couples of hours their chakra was already extremely low, which put them at a severe disadvantage. It was a complete miracle when the three walked away with their lives, leaving behind the body of the dead shark man.

As they slowly made their way over to the hospital they based numerous other shinobi fighting mediocre sound ninjas who were brought by Kabuto. They saw Naruto and Sakura's temporary captain, Yamato fighting what looked to be a human plant. The forest terrain was filled with misshaped trees and oversized dangerous looking plants. Having the blood of the First Hokage, made it easy for hi to overcome the plant man. In the time it took for Shino, Kiba and Akamaru to walk by, he had successfully killed the Akatsuki member and was off to further defend the village.

It was obvious that the most serious battles were taking place at the Hokage Tower from the earth shaking sounds it emitted. Inside, the Hokage herself was battling Pein, with each strike she thought of Jiariya and how she was avenging her lover's death. With his dying message he was able to tell her the secret to defeating Pein, making it much easier. It was only a matter of time before he was dead.

The two that never leave their sides, Konan and Shizune. Were, of course, close by, fighting each other so that their shishous could fight uninterrupted. Everything Shizune learned under Tsunade came in handy as she attempted to poison her attacker. The fight was pretty much even until Tsunade killed Pein, seeing her fallen master, long time friend and lover had distracted Konan long enough for Shizune to inject her with enough poison to kill one hundred elephants.

Only one floor below them, Kakashi was fighting with Tobi. But not in the way that you think, there were no weapons involved at all. Tobi had removed his mask revealing that he was in fact, Obito. This realization had stunned Kakashi to the point of near paralysis. It turned out that Obito had lost all of his memory after the accident and the first person to find him was the leader of the Akatsuki. H had the same personality which almost drove Kakashi to tears. He could not bring himself to attack his once friend and the person who gave him his Sharingan, without which he never would have been able to become the Copy Cat Ninja. Obito, still not remembering who Kakashi was gave him a severe beating, becoming confused when the ninja did not fight back. After a long inner battle Kakashi, half dead, delivered a fatal blow while Tobi was distracting. He held his friend like he did so long ago as he died, this time for real. As he took his last few breath he watched the crying, beaten, legendary ninja, "We must have been really close, eh?", he asked. "I wish we were", was the tearful response. His last words slipped from his lips as he finally passed on, "Me too". Kakashi stayed there for a while looking at his friend, promising his dead body that he would have an honorable funeral.

Another level below him Sakura was fighting another medical ninja like herself. Yakushi Kabuto. She had long since surpassed her shishou as a medical ninja and was holding her own easily against Kabuto. She took into consideration his ability to regenerate his body cells and made sure she disarmed and killed him as quickly as possible so he would not have enough time to heal himself. She attacked his central nervous system and spinal cord simultaneously so he was completely paralyzed. Without a second thought she struck him hard in the chest knowing that Orochimaru was still somewhat "stored" inside of him, her hand went completely through coming out the other side. "That was for Sasuke!", she spat as she cleaned off her hand and threw the rag on the medical-nin's dead body. Sakura had become quite the badass, mostly the influence of one Uchiha Sasuke. Her smug smile quickly faded as she saw smoke erupting from the fight atop the Hokage Mountain. The fight to end them all. Uzumaki Naruto against the leader of the Akatsuki.

But who was the leader? The one who first unleashed the Kyuubi onto Konoha, which wound up inside Naruto, which caused his father to sacrifice himself. The man who caused Naruto is life of pain. The man that costed him his family. A man previously thought to be dead.

The Kyuubi immediately recognized the enemy as being the man that had manipulated him all those years ago.

"Naruto, let me kill this man", the Kyuubi hissed.

Naruto could feel the Kyuubi's hatred and power bubbling. "If I let you do this I will lose control. What if I hurt someone else, like I hurt Sakura-chan?"

"I promise you Naruto, I will not harm anyone else and I will relinquish control to you after this. Killing this one man will satisfy me. Don't you know who he is?", he waited for a moment and could see that Naruto was once again clueless. "This man is Uchiha Madara."

Naruto paused. During his trainings he had had many conversations with the Kyuubi and had heard about what happened with him and the Uchiha man. "Alright" was all he said before closing his eyes and allowing the fox to take over.

Once the ninth tail came out it was mere seconds before the fight was over. His power combined with his pure hatred for his foe were all he needed. With a smirk and deep satisfaction he kept his word and returned Naruto to his true form. His screams of pain at the transformation were enough to have Sakura come running. She appeared at his side and her hands glowed a brilliant green.

Sasuke had not even bothered to look at the attacking sound ninja, all of his focus was centered on finding and killing his brother. He had been able to sense his chakra since the fighting began and realized that he was at the war memorial. He arrived and immediately attacked, Sharingan meeting Sharingan. As much as he hated to admit it, Orochimaru's training was what gave him the power he needed to finally kill Itachi. He had sold his soul to the devil to kill a demon and now he wondered what would be left of himself. Sharingan activated, he could see his teammates on the top of the mountain. Sakura had apparently just healed Naruto and both of them were sitting there satisfied and smiling. He realized that that could be him up there with them, his painful past kept him from experiencing such happiness for so long, but now we was ready for it. Focusing on Sakura, he imagined his new life. This time he was one hundred percent sure that Itachi was dead, unlike before, meaning he was no longer an avenger, he was just Sasuke.

The fight had no doubtable changed Konoha forever. It was no longer a nation on guard and at war. Life was peaceful. But it was the contraire for the Hyuuga clan. The day was remembered as the day Hinata became betrothed.
