Zaria felt conflicted about her decision to help Sasuke. Though Sasuke did make a convincing argument. She wanted Danzo dead. Just like Sasuke she wanted revenge. Although unlike him it wasn't the only thing she wanted. She'll admit it, she's using Sasuke in order to defeat Danzo. Even Zaria knows she's no match of Danzo, but together with Sasuke they would stand somewhat of a chance. After she defeats Danzo she will sever her agreement with Sasuke and return home.

She asked the chief of the village if it was okay to go on a 'personal mission' for at least a year. He questioned her reasons but she stated that she wanted to find out more information about the upcoming war. She stated that since her clan is held responsible then it's her responsibility to obtain more information and possibly stop the war. The chief then agreed and stated she can take as much time as she need, but had to report back if new intel was uncovered. Zaria nodded her head and left the office. She went home and gathered some things to take with her. She didn't bother telling anyone where she was going think the chief would do that for her. It was late at night when she decided to leave. On her way out of the village she ran into someone she was hoping she wouldn't, Satoru.

"Where are you going Zaria?" Satoru asked.

"I'm going on a mission" Zaria stated.

"This late at night?" Satoru questioned not buying her response.

"It's secret mission assigned by the chief I can't talk about it" Zaria responded.

"Zaria what's going on? Ever since you found out that your cousin is a criminal you've been acting weird. Why can't you tell me anything?" Satoru asked in frustration. She couldn't blame him though. She looked away from him. "You've been so secretive lately. What are you hiding? I'm your team mate, best friend and I'd like to think boyfriend too. You can tell me anything. I promise I won't tell anyone else. Not even Rai or Daisuke-sensei. You can trust me" Satoru stated. Zaria still didn't look up at him. She was hurting him that much she understood. It broke her heart listening to him.

"The other day you were crying saying that you were sorry. What were you sorry for? Can you at least tell me that?" Satoru continued to interrogate. Zaria finally looked up at him. Her eyes became glossy as if she was fighting back the tears.

"I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you" Zaria stated. She wanted to tell him. However she knew she couldn't. She didn't want anyone else to get involved.

"If you want to tell me then tell me" Satoru stated. He grabbed Zaria by the shoulders. "Do you have any idea how worried I am about you? Raiden's worried too and even Takada" Satoru then commented.

"Wow I must be pretty messed up then huh." Zaria commented. She looked down to the ground with a small smile. " Honestly the only reason I can't tell you is because I'm not sure myself. A lot of things are going on and I just feel so overwhelmed by it all" Zaria then stated. Satoru let go of her, but then pulled her into a tight embrace.

"That's what I'm here for Zar. I don't know if you know this but it hurts to watch someone you love suffer while they have no idea on how to comfort them" Satoru stated. Zaria was silent now. She didn't know what to say to him. She could feel his pain though. For the longest time she watched her cousins suffer through their clans actions and she did nothing about it. She broke away from Satoru.

"I promise one day I'll tell you everything. Right now is not the time for that. I have to go now" Zaria said as she teleported away leaving Satoru alone. He clenched his fists in frustration. Even though they were in a relationship he felt as if she became more distant towards him. She was hiding something and he needed to know what it was.

Zaria felt bad for leaving Satoru like that. However, it was for the best. The more he knew the more he would get in the way. If he knew of her intentions there was no way he would let her do this on her own. Now that Sasuke is considered a criminal Satoru has little to no trust in him. To Zaria family came first. She was going to help Sasuke whether Satoru agreed with her or not. When she was a good distance from the village she met up with her brother. Obito noticed she was a bit out of it and was concerned.

"What's wrong Zary?" Obito asked. Zaria shook her head not wanting to talk. Obito took off his mask and put it away. Zaria looked at him and saw the worry in his eyes. Zaria sighed and looked away.

"Obito do you ever question if you're doing the right thing?" Zaria asked. Obito looked at her confused.

"What do you mean? Is that what's bothering you?" Obito questioned in response. Zaria still didn't look at him. Part of her felt ashamed for practically abandoning her friends, but she did it for her family.

"I don't know. Part of me feels like I'm leading myself down the same path as the rest of the Uchiha clan. I spent my whole life avoiding that too. I even tried cutting ties with my own family and look where it's got me. I'm so desperate to be with my family that threw away all the morals that I taught myself to believe!" Zaria exclaimed in frustration. Obito felt guilty listening to his sister's outburst. He felt responsible for making her feel this way. Zaria noticed the change in Obito's mood.

"Big Brother?" Zaria questioned concerned. A tear fell from Obito's eye.

"I'm Sorry Zaria" Obito stated. Zaria looked at him confused.

"Why are you apologizing?" Zaria asked.

"It's my fault that you feel this way. Had I come home right after Madara treated my wounds maybe things would have been different. For the longest time I lived with the guilt of not being there for you for the past ten years. I remember how I promised you that I was going to teach you the fireball when you entered the academy and I broke that promise. You're a chunin now and I wasn't even there to watch you become one. Maybe Kakashi was right after all. I am a terrible brother." Obito confessed. Zaria was sad to hear her brother say that. She gave Obito a hug by surprise.

"Shut up Obito. Don't you dare say that ever again" Zaria said muffled in his cloak. "Remember what I told you then?" Zaria then questioned. Her question made Obito have a flashback to that day he took Zaria to one of his training sessions with Kakashi and Rin.

"I don't think you're a terrible brother" Zaria commented. Obito was confused now.

"What are you talking about?" Obito asked.

"Kakashi said that you're a terrible brother, but it's not true" Zaria sobbed.

"Is that what got you so upset?" Obito asked know understanding why his sister is so upset. Zaria nodded her head. Obito chuckled in response. Of all the things that Kakashi said, it was the fact that he said Obito was a terrible brother that bothered her the most. Zaria tightened her grip around Obito's neck to were she was hugging him.

"You're not a terrible brother, you're an amazing big brother" Zaria commented.

Remembering that made Obito smile as he returned the hug. He didn't know how he managed ten years without his sister. She felt the same way. If she didn't have her friends she probably would have went insane just like Sasuke.

"You know Zaria, you're more amazing than I am" Obito commented. Zaria looked up at him teary eyed. He looked down at her with a smile.

"You know sometimes I wish Rin was still alive just so she could see how much better you are then Kakashi now. I still don't know what she saw in him." Zaria commented making Obito chuckle.

"Don't worry Zary, He's not the one she's watching over now" Obito commented as he looked up at the sky. 'you're still watching, right Rin?' Obito thought. Zaria let go of Obito so she could wipe away her tears. Now she needed to get back on track before she started over thinking again.

"Do you know where Sasuke is now Obito?" Zaria asked.

"From what I've heard he temporarily teamed up with the Akatsuki after killing Itachi" Obito replied. Zaria's eyes went wide. She had no idea Sasuke had already killed Itachi.

"What? But when?" Zaria asked confused.

" A few days ago. Right after you saw him last actually" Obito responded. "Apparently he's obtained the mangekyou sharingan from him too" he continued. Zaria wasn't surprised at all about that. She remembered how much Sasuke adored Itachi when he was just a child. It was only natural that his death would inherit him the mangekyou sharingan or what she liked to call the "curse of the Uchiha".

"Can you take me to him?" Zaria asked. Obito nodded and took his mask back out and put it on.

"Stay close and follow me" Obito requested. Zaria nodded her head. Obito led her to the Akatsuki hideout and instructed that she only call him "Tobi" around the other Akatsuki members and that if they ask say that he kidnapped you as ransom. Zaria went along with the plan in order not the blow their cover. They didn't even get near the hideout when Zaria spotted Sasuke.

"Tobi wait!" Zaria exclaimed. Obito stopped and looked at Zaria confused. She gestured over to the cliff side where Sasuke was standing. She wanted to confront Sasuke, but she could feel his chakra was a little disturbed and thought it was best to leave him alone. For now Zaria and Obito continued onward to the hideout.
