Inaudible footfalls would softly cause minimal vibrations to caress the forest floor, as the impregnable silence suffocated the dwarfed sounds of his arrival. The sun seem to move deliberately without haste as twilight soon approached the area, and the beckoning shadows loomed over the forestry. His entrance into the area, was seethed by the mere uncontrollable aspects of nature. His dark onyx like hues, scanned into the depths on the impending darkness as if awaiting the grim reaper himself. Fear was not something he was accustomed to, and it would not break into his subconscious now. His cold demented stare raged on as if the devil himself where approaching.
Beside him stood the women whom after there adventure late into the night, had sworn her loyalty to him. Though she would not go as far as to fight for the Akatsuki; though she would wear the symbol of there organization to appease the man who stood by her.
''War is coming soon.'' Sasuke spoke in a tone in which could be nothing more then informative, indeed the pawns where already coming together. Each piece was sent out in order for the greatest advantage as they where forced to protect the 'King'. Simply allies where needed, hardened warriors who could be bought into action against even the forces of the the Great Nations.
Simply put Missing Nin would be hunted out and more or less forced into fight for the good of there lives. This lead them to a large plot of land where lava flew freely in making entrance as well as escaping difficult to say the least. The Konoha Strict Correctional Facility, a Prison where criminals where locked away. As they approached from the only entrance-way, guards rushed towards them. There attire was not very suitable for being near Hidden Leaf property.
''Stand down or die.'' It was simple, the guards could either move or die. It would be there choice in it all. Unfortunately they struck out, only for a large demonic skeletal being to be summoned around the body of Sasuke as evil demented charka oozed off of Sasuke. There attacks where nothing to this beast, and where batted away like dwarfed flies. A devilish like chuckle erupted from the mouth of Sasuke, as his lover stood back watching with a horrified glance as Sasuke eliminated the guards would a single flick of his beast's hand.
Intense gore literally filled the entrance, blood was coiling into the stone below and entrails and bodily fluids ran amass from bodies that had obliterated leaving only a torso or skull laying off someone by itself. Twenty or so guards lay dead, without the benefit of identification for there loved ones.
Sasuke fell to the ground. His body rifling in pain as his technique while powerful, seemed to drain every ounce of energy it could from his body. His arms flung around him, as he held himself in extreme pain. He would glance up and look around, as his vision where blurring rapidly, soon he knew he would go blind and he had to finish this soon.
Sakura rushed to his side placing her hands upon the body of Sasuke. Her hands would began to glow a green slim like color, as her hands began to try and attempt to heal him. Even if her effort would only be minimal, hopefully she could reduce some of the pain he was in.
''Ah...'' Sasuke grunted as he pushed away from her hands, and stood on shaky limps. As they began to move into the prison a alarm would sound, though Sasuke barely noticed it as they headed tot he cells. Once there the jailer was instantly killed by a stab threw his chest, as Sakura watched silently from behind him as he struggled to see but still managed to kill.
They came to a stop in front of a cell, where a man who had obviously seen better days watched them from a counter of his cell. ''Who are you?'' his faint voice traveled as he managed seated in the shadows of his cell.
'' I have come to free you. Mizuki. Lord Madara wishes for your assistance in the upcoming war. Naruto shall be there.'' He stated as he looked the man whom could no longer become a ninja. Though whatever Madara had planned with him would most likely assure him that he would become powerful once more to serve under him.
The man smirked at the name of his hated rival and stood, as Sasuke broke him free of his cell and he walked out for the first time in a while. ''Sakura go free Gōzu and Meizu and hurry.''

A sound of hissing would be heard echoing out side of the Northern Hideout, as Kabuto entered the long forgotten base. Where the inhuman experimentation of humans where most proficient, as he entered the prisoners who had longer since escaped from there cells yet had no way of exiting the base came out from the shadows looking at Kabuto with disdain and hatred. Though there fear was hard to hide as the medic of the man who had enslaved him entered. ''Step back.'' It was his only warning as he walked through the mass of prisoners to capture the four here that he had come to find.

The fungal creature that was known as Zestu appeared before the Masked Root Members. Chuckling as they presented the swords for him.
''Woooo. So you completed your mission then?'' The black half of Zestu would speak before his annoying other half would have time to speak up and ask the same question in which they both thought.
The Root members merely nodded but made no remark upon there task, for even in a mission as simple as it had been they knew it would not be for the good of the Leaf. They had failed there oath, and even though Danzo was gone and now they where being blackmailed they had to keep this up for the good of the village, yet the tasks they performed would no doubt hurt them.
'' Your master shall be pleased then.'' Chuckled the white half as he watched the members of the Anbu ops shutter in there uncomfortable state. ''There faces must be hilarious'' thought White half as he watched the members.
''Lord Madara shall be pleased.'' The halves spoke in unison as they disappeared into the ground leaving the Root members in shock and agony as the weapons they had acquired now where be taken away to the man who had waged war on there village. The man who now controlled there future like simple pawns in a chess set.
