(Rock Lee POV)
You retrieved the note from Ai's summoned creature who then disappeared. You instantly ran to the others and gave it to them to read. Sakura read it aloud

"Due to unfortunate circumstances i have to leave this mission early. Please continue without me, from Ai".

"I wonder whats wrong with her"

Naruto said, a dumbfounded look on his face.

"Whatever it is, it involves this country"

Neji said as he looked outside. You had to admit that you were all confused. A Grave Ninja entered through the window and said

"Quickly, come with me, i know where Ai is".

(Ai POV)
You followed Hisan to a small encampment inside the Land of Death. It had soldiers and Ninja all around it. You put your cloth back over your face, hoping none of them would recognize you. You half hid behind Hisan, hoping that they wouldn't see you behind his one good arm. Hisan lead you to a tent and nudged you inside. He seemed to understand your feelings and was sympathetic towards you. He called two people to guard the tent door, one had Gold bar plates going down his whole entire cloak on his right arm. The other had a steel plated shoulder cape. Hisan entered and said

"Ishi is the one with the steel cape and Zeph is the one with the gold rank insignia, they will take care of you until we can find a more suitable area for you"

he said and with a bow, left. You decided that this was all too much to take in and that you were going to go to sleep and hopefully wake up from this strange and possibly nightmarish dream. You went to sleep rather quickly considering how distraught you were.

~Dream~ You were running through the courtyard, your father telling you to run as fast as you could. Someone jumped down and swept you into their arms, jumping over the complex and running away from it. You looked back as your house burned down and your family with it. You remembered your parents dieing in front of you. The Valiant symbol of Kurotsuki Clan seemed to fight off the flames as you watched the fire grow farther and farther away. The symbol was a Full moon overlapping a Four point shuriken meant to be a star. It looked as if the moon itself had blades. You were brought into the Land of Void and put into a small raft. The person gave you a book and said

"Your father would have wanted you to have had it, but destroy it when you are done learning all that it has in it, that was your father's wish. Ai, you have a gift that you must use, for what ever purpose you wish and i will die for the survival of that ability if at all necessary. So live on for your father, for me, and for the whole clan".

With that he pushed the raft away from the shore and ran back in the direction you both came from. You were crying when you realized that your life as you knew it had come to an end.

~Out of dream~ You woke up, Ishi standing in front of you, seeming worried.

"Are you ok"

he said in a caring voice.

"Yeah, just a nightmare"

you said and sat up.

"Yes, i understand, we have all been having them"

He said as he went to a bag and took a rather burnt piece of cloth from a chest in the side of the tent. He unfurled it and hung it near the doorway on one of the support beams. It was the flag of Kurotsuki.

"Let me explain, we are a remnant of the supporters of Kurotsuki, we disagree with what the Shikage is doing and we are prepared to fight. Arashi, the guard who sent you into the ocean, is leading this effort. He will be happy to hear that you have returned"

Ishi said and bowed. Someone entered with your friends which surprised you.

"What are you guys doing here"

you asked as they entered.

"We're here to save you"

Naruto said then sakura hit him and said

"you idiot, shes not in danger".

Neji went up to you and said

"As long as we know little about your past there is not much we can do and it is becoming too dangerous without this information".

You sighed and decided it best to tell them at least a brief summary.

"I was born in the Land of Death. My parents were the leaders of the most powerful clan in this area. The Village Hidden Under the Graves used to be above ground but when Shikage took over he burned the whole above ground city. Back then the Land of Death had no Kage, it was just a bunch of clans that created a council. I was born as a prodigy among my clan, i had the fullest extent of my bloodline, the ability to drain ones life merely from looking at them was one of my clans abilities among many others. I was born different even though we where unusual to begin with. When the village was burned, one of my father's friends took a book my father made and brought me to the Land of Void and gave me the book. He put me on a raft and shoved me off into the ocean. It was by chance that the Village hidden in the leave ninja found me and took me in. So t....."

before you could finish a guard yelled

"The enemy is heading this way".

Supporters started to ran around, gathering weapons and getting into formations. Zeph waited for you and Ishi said

"Ai, we need you now to defeat Shikage, we can not beat him by our selves".

"Ai, we can not interfere in other countries affairs, we have to go"

Neji said. You took off your leaf headband and put it in a pouch. You took out a Kurotsuki headband with the symbol that you kept since your childhood. You tied it around your waist and said

"This is not a Land of Fire battle, this is a civil war".

You turned to Zeph and Ishi and said

"OK I'm coming".
