Oh look a fast update! Well a fast update for me at least ehehe. Thought I should mention that this chapter starts just after Sasuke invading the Kage meeting & him killing Danzo/Team 7 reunion etc. Fair warning: this may/ be most likely askew with the Naruto manga timeline but I've tried to keep it accurate as possible. Oh & another fair warning to those who aren't up-to-date/don't read the manga (I'm not sure if the anime is up to the war yet): this will contain spoilers. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing; Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto & Avatar: The Last Airbender belongs to Michael Dante DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko.

Tobi

Using his Space-Time Migration, Tobi made Sasuke appear.

"And how am I supposed to fight? I'm pretty much blind" Sasuke immediately said once he was out of Tobi's pocket dimension.

Smirking underneath his mask, he said, "I want you to stay out of this fight till the time is most fortunate" he paused and continued, "Now, when the chance comes I want you to take that bald boy with the blue arrow on his forehead. But be careful, he's the Avatar."

"So these are the people we've been hearing so much about lately, and what makes you think the Avatar will fight by our side?"

"Who said anything about choice?" Tobi asked, making Sasuke 'hmph' with approval.

Toph

"Wait for them to make the first move" Zuko advised Toph, who was raring to fight; she blew her bangs off her face in annoyance.

"Who's that guy with them?" Sokka asked.

As the others saw, Toph felt. Where and how did he get here? It was as if he appeared out of thin air! Was this Tobi person able to teleport people as well with that weird power of his? Surely it must've been, after all it was the only logical explanation she could think of.

"That's Sasuke Uchiha" Neji answered.

"That one who betrayed your village?" Katara asked, "From Naruto and Sakura's old team?"

"The very one"

To be honest Toph couldn't care less who he was! To her he was another reason why her precious time with Gaara was abruptly cut short; so she was going to take him down either way! Yet there was another reason why she wanted to fight him – she heard him say he's blind and that he couldn't fight; well she was going to teach him a lesson or two!

"He's mine" Toph said, smirking.

"Toph..." Katara started but Toph cut her off.

"He said he's blind; that will make it even grounding" she said, her smirk growing bigger.

A good reason Toph was blind: she couldn't see the looks her friends gave to each other whenever she made comments similar to what she just said.

Smirking, Neji said, "Uchiha is in need of a good smack around if you ask me."

"With pleasure" Toph said in a malicious manner.

Feeling the Akatsuki guy move first, Toph got into action! Bending some earth as if to make it she was going after him, she manoeuvred around everyone else till she was standing in front of the Uchiha boy.

"Hello? Is there someone there?" she asked, waving her arms out in front of her putting on her poor little blind girl act.

"Hmph, you can't fool me earthbender, I know you can see through the earth" Sasuke said.

Damn this guy was smarter than she thought, she now wished she payed more attention when Naruto and Sakura told them about Sasuke. All she really remembered was that he had some eye power.

"Well now that my little secret's out, I guess there's no use holding back!"

And with that, Toph made this huge mound of earth fly at Sasuke. As soon as he dodged it she made another one fly at him. When he landed she grabbed his feet with the earth making him fall upside down.

"What where's this really strong Uchiha I've heard so much about?" she cried out, "I've already got you! I could crush you with a single movement of mine hand!"

"Not quite!" she heard him cry out.

Guessing that he was attacking from above as she couldn't see him anywhere, she quickly went underground just as he made to hit her and she went back above ground as Sasuke fell to the ground.

"I forgot you ninja had those little tricks up your sleeves" she said, thinking he must've used a replacement jutsu or whatever they were called. This was going to be slightly tougher than she thought.

All of a sudden she could feel Sasuke trying to do something to her, was on earth was he trying to do? Play mind tricks or something as that is what it sure felt like! Only, it felt as if nothing was working.

Just as she was about to ask what he was doing she heard Tobi cry out, "Watch yourself Sasuke! Your eyesight's already bad enough!"

Oh so that's what it was! That mind trick thing that the Uchiha clan could do with their eyes! Toph couldn't believe she completely forgot about it! This made her smirk appear on her face again.

"Ooh is this the big mind control that only you Uchiha can do?" she paused and laughed, "Oh you people make me laugh! You all keep forgetting that I'm blind!"

She went to attack him again, getting more fired up since Sasuke's little Sharingan attempt. However every time she got him Sasuke would only use the Body Replacement Jutsu making Toph grow even more frustrated.

"I underestimated you!" she admitted whilst throwing a mound of earth at him, "But however you're not as strong as you think! You rely too much upon your eyes & look at where it's led you! It's made you into a coward!" she cried out.

"Why you-" Sasuke was about to say and retaliate with Chidori but Tobi cut him off.

"Now's the time Sasuke!" he cried out.

Not seeing Sasuke's smirk at her Toph turned and saw what happened to her teammates: everyone was out! They were all on the ground and passed out! What the hell happened? Was Tobi really that strong? She didn't have any time to think as what she saw freaked her even more: Sasuke grabbing Aang and taking him away with Tobi! Completely forgetting that she hated flying, Toph ran over to Appa.

"Come on we've got to get back to the ninja and find out what's going on!" she cried out.

Just as she was about to jump up onto Appa's back, she noticed Neji stirring. Running over to him she used her earthbending skills to carry him up to Appa's back. She then climbed up, called out "yip yip" making Appa fly off.

Turning to look at her friends she sighed, she had to go after Aang right away there wasn't any time to get them back to their usual fighting selves!

"What's going on?" Neji asked a little drowsily.

"Sasuke and that Akatsuki weirdo have taken Aang! I-I had to leave straight away, I didn't have time to help the others and you were the only one stirring and you know the way back so-"

"It's fine, I understand" Neji said, cutting her off.

"Why would they want Aang? I understand he's the Avatar and all but..."

"Tobi's going to use him as a weapon, for what reason I cannot say. But I have my suspicions."

"And those are?"

"I have a feeling that the Akatsuki are going to start a new ninja world war, I cannot think of any other purpose of why they'd want Aang."

Toph grew more worried, "Let's hope they don't find out about Aang's Avatar state; then we're in big trouble!"

"Avatar state?"

Toph quickly explained what the Avatar state was to Neji.

"That's not good, especially when the Akatsuki have so many of the tailed beasts."

"What do you expect to be there when we get back?" she asked, slightly worried as to what she was getting herself into.

"I cannot say, let's just hope that something good has come out of that Kage meeting."

The two didn't converse much after that, besides going over some minor plans they'd made. They travelled on throughout the days and would only stop during the night. Appa had this newfound stamina but Toph wasn't surprised at all – he wanted Aang back as much as they did. As they started to make their way into the ninja world, there were signs of battles.

"So it has started" Neji said and he activated his Byakugan.

As they moved further into the land, the battle sites got bigger and few ninja were popping up now and then.

"Should we go to Konoha first?" Toph asked, "Find out what's going on and where everyone is exactly?"

"Good idea"

oOo

Landing in the middle of Konoha, Toph followed Neji around (after all, this was where he knew exactly what to do). They made their way to a big complex, she wondered where they were. Soon enough, Neji found someone.

"Cousin, tell me what's going on!" Neji asked, desperate for answers.

When he addressed this person by "cousin" Toph then realised that they must have been within the Hyuga complex or something – and it was quite a large place! The luxuries of being one of the strongest Konoha clans she guessed.

As the Hyuga explained that there was indeed a Fourth Shinobi World War, Toph sighed. She and Neji were right after all and she grew even more worried about Aang.

"Tell me where the main battle is" Neji asked.

"From what I know the largest group is somewhere near the Land of Lightning but there are other, smaller groups scattered about the place."

"Thankyou cousin!"

And with that Toph followed Neji back to Appa.

"We've got to hurry; we're already five days behind Tobi and Sasuke who knows what they've done to Aang!" Neji said as she and Toph climbed back onto Appa and they all flew off.

"How long is it to the Land of Lightning?" Toph asked.

"Two days at the least, let's hope that they're not too far from the Fire's borders."

oOo

They had finally made it to the Land of Lightning and Toph was growing impatient and annoyed as she couldn't see anything and had to rely on Neji.

"Anything?" she asked.

"Nothing yet"

Blowing her bangs off her chest, Toph wondered where on earth the battle could be. It was the same with when they came back to the ninja land yesterday – the further they moved in the bigger the battles looked.

"Another war" she sighed, "As much as I love conflict this isn't something I'm looking forward to."

"No one said you needed to fight, just get Aang and leave as quickly as possible."

"Oh I'm sure there's a thing or two I could do to make it better for your side before flying off" she snickered, thinking of her plan to get Aang. This made Neji smirk.

They continued on in silence when all of a sudden Neji jumped up.

"I see some Konoha ninja! And wait...what's this...how is that possible?"

"What?"

"They're fighting ninja who I swear have died already! What is going on?"

"Dead?" Toph asked, trying not to think logically about the possibility of that at all, "So they're...zombies or something?"

"That seems most like it..."

"Should we help these guys?"

Sitting back he answered, "As much as I want to, no. Our main priority is the main group; that is where Tobi will most likely be with Aang."

Like before, they continued on in silence. There was a slight dread growing within Toph – no one said anything about damn zombies!

oOo

Just as she thought they were never going to find the main group, Neji suddenly cried out, "I see them! They're roughly a kilometre away!"

"Great we're just about there!" Toph was now starting to grow excited.

A few ninja tried to attack them as they got closer but their attempts were easily deflected by the earthbender. When Temari realised who it was she made them stop and when they landed she was the first to approach the two.

"Why are you back? She demanded, "And where's everyone else?"

"That Tobi weirdo attacked us and he took Aang. I'm here to get him back."

"I'm going to find Hinata and my Uncle" Neji said, "Thankyou for bringing me back Toph" he continued.

"Thanks for being my eyes!" she said, giving Neji a punch (she had explained to him a few days earlier that to her that it meant admiration).

"Hinata's in the Second Division" Temari told Neji, "They'll be along the northern coast of the Land of Lightning's peninsula."

"Thankyou Temari" Neji said and then left.

"Okay so any appearance of Tobi?" Toph asked, now in her fight mode, "He and I have unfinished business."

"Not as we know of yet."

"He's mine!" Toph demanded, "No one touch him!" she continued turning around to face the ninja surrounding her, "He's got someone very important to me so no one touch Tobi till I get my friend!" she demanded.

Letting her inner-girl in, Toph turned to Temari and asked, "So where's Gaara?" she asked, curious about him and hoping he was okay.

"Over there" Temari pointed, sounding a little grim, "Fighting our father."

Sensing Gaara all too well, she turned to face where he was standing. However she noticed something was wrong. Why...why was he crying? She had to go over there straight away! No wait – Aang! Mentally slapping herself she turned back to face the Akatsuki's army where she noticed a large army who all had the same stature as that plant Akatsuki person...or...thing. She voiced her concerns to Temari.

"You're right" Temari started to explain, "Somehow Zetsu of the Akatsuki has done that to himself and he's very hard to fight."

"I'll take care of them" Toph said, again thinking of her plan, "Actually it's best if Appa and I get ready now."

Making her way over to Appa, Toph advised Temari again, "Make sure no ninja on your side fire at Appa and me alright? I've got enough to concentrate on without worrying about attacks coming at me left, right and centre."

"You've got it; I'll also deflect attacks from the other side if they aim at you!" Temari said.

Thanking her, Toph then went back atop Appa and took off. They flew high above the battle, waiting for Tobi to appear. After what felt like five thousand years a man suddenly appeared holding Aang.

"About time!" Toph cried out, extremely impatient from waiting, "Ready Appa?" she cried out.

Hearing Appa roar in response, Toph grinned, "Well here goes!" she cried out and she jumped off.

Ehehe yeah as I previously stated, this will most likely be askew with the Naruto manga. As soon as I've uploaded this chapter I will also get to work on the next one straight away as I really want to finish this story before/if that SOPA/PIPA thing comes into act. There's not much more to go now – just two more chapters (well planned, but that may be subject to change lol). Rest assured I am near the end though.
