Just as Ohnoiki used his dust release jutsu on Sasuke, the other Kage's returned. Madara showed up with Sasuke and took him and Karin away. Sonea's seal began that odd buzzing feeling and she snarled silently from the shadows.
"My name is Uchiha Madara. I have something I want to explain to you all. And once you comprehend it, I want to pose a question. It's about my plan… Project Tsuki no Me. Listen to my explanation, it will all depend on your answer. Now then, are you all ready to listen?" Madara asked.
"Why are you trying to win over Sasuke?" Gaara asked him.
"A sharingan capable of awakening the susano'o is rare. I like to stock up on good eyes. By battling the Five Kage, I want him to hone his ocular power even more. I'm the one who sent Sasuke here. I was intending to weaken the Five Kage and take you all hostage. It seems that is still not possible. The injuries I sustained during my battle with the Shodai Hokage, Senju Hashirama, were too severe. I have no strength in me right now. You could say I am merely a shell of my old self. I want to take my time talking to you. Let me sit down. All shall become one with me and result in a complete possession form that unites all. The Uchiha have an ancient stone tablet that has been passed down for generations. It still exists underground in Konoha. Upon it is written secrets engraved by the Rikudo Sennin himself. It cannot be read unless you possess ocular powers. With the sharingan, mangekyo sharingan and rinnegan in that order the contents become increasingly visible… Do you know why the Rikudo Sennin became a legendary figure a god like figure that is revered as god of all ninja? There lies the link between my plan and this man. He once saved the world from a certain monster. Gaara, you also had one part of that monster sealed in you, that monster was the combination of all bijuu, something that possessed the most powerful chakra… The Jyuubi. The Jyuubi's chakra was simply divided up into the nine bijuu by the Rikudo Sennin. The Rikudo Sennin developed a certain ninjutsu in order to protect this world from the Jyuubi. Even today, that ninjutsu is still being passed down secretly. It is the sealing process for jinchuuriki. Yes, the Rikudo Sennin was the jinchuuriki for the Jyuubi, in order to suppress it, he sealed it into his own body. The Sennin who saved a world terrorized by the Jyuubi became a saviour and won praise as a god. But if the sage died, the powerful demonic chakra of the Jyuubi would once again be released onto this world. Fearing this, at the time of his death, the Rikudo Sennin summoned every last ounce of his power to partition they Jyuubi chakra into nine parts and scattered them across the world. Then he sealed its body, now devoid of all chakra, and hurled it into the sky and it became the moon.
When he became the Jyuubi's jinchuuriki the Rikudo Sennin went beyond the realm of humans. I will revive the Jyuubi and I will become its jinchuuriki. I will use its power to strengthen my ocular powers and activate a certain jutsu. A super genjutsu where I project my eyes off of the moon. Infinite Tsukuyomi. I will cast a genjutsu on every single person who walks the earth and in that genjutsu I will control all humans and unify the world. A world without hatred or war. Everything will become one with me and be united. That is Project Tsuki no Me." Madara explained. The Kages didn't agree.
"All this talk and yet what have you Five Kage accomplished? You of all people should know by now… There is no such thing as hope. To hope is the equivalent of giving up and it's the biggest deception of all. Hand over the Hachibi and Kyuubi and cooperate with my plan. Or there will be war. The attempt to capture the Hachibi failed and he escaped. He is a ninja who is a perfect jinchuuriki. Only your younger brother has got what it takes." Madara finished.
"We will not hand over Uzumaki Naruto." Gaara said and Mei agreed as did A.
"I do not have the strength but the bijuu we have gathered so far do. You people have no chance of winning. I hereby declare the start of the Fourth Great Ninja War. The next time we meet will be on the battlefield." Madara stated before he vanished in a swirl.
"Well, he's a ray of sunshine isn't he?" Sonea asked, stepping out of the shadows and crouched just in time as the Raikage tried to hit her with Lariat and she flipped to the side as Ohnoiki tried his dust release and she crouched on the Mizukage's previous table with her arms held out in surrender. "Wait, I just want to talk, please listen to what I have to say." Sonea begged as A removed himself from the demolished wall and Ohnoiki lowered his hands reluctantly.
"Why should we trust you? You were with that traitor Danzo and have been hiding the entire time!" Raikage asked her sternly in a slight yell.
"I suggest you all listen to what she has to say." Gaara said calmly with a slight smile towards Sonea who nodded her thanks.
"I agree with Kazekage-dono, I know her well as she's the one who helped us take Kirigakure back from Akatsuki and said she just wanted to help the bijuu… She's held her word." Mei spoke up as well and Raikage powered down and stepped back to his original position as Sonea jumped onto the table Madara was just sitting on and leaned back against her hands.
"Danzo forced me to be his guard and I took this opportunity. He only chose me for what I want to tell you and wanted to use me as his own personal weapon in case his first plan with his eye did not work but I would not allow that to happen anyway. I was hiding but that's because the world would be screwed if Madara found me… You see not all of the Jyuubi's chakra was separated into the nine bijuu, they are only its yang half." Sonea began to explain.
"What do you mean only it's yang half, where's the rest?" Ohnoiki asked.
"I have it." She said calmly and everyone was visibly shocked. She crossed her legs that dangled over the table and leaned back against her arms. "You see, hundreds of years ago, the Rikudo Sennin knew that when he dies the Jyuubi would just be released back onto the world and so he took on an apprentice to be the next jinchuuriki for it. He did not choose either of his sons for it as he saw darkness within their hearts and looked for the apprentice on the outside and found me at the age of four." Sonea began to explain.
"So… You're immortal?" Mifune asked and Sonea tilted her head both ways.
"I was. I came from a demonic clan called the Chi clan however they were massacred just after my birth and I was left alive somehow. My clan has great powers concerning blood and the eyes, extreme healing rates and eyes that are more sensitive than the regular eye jutsus. However when the time came I was still too weak and so he made a rash decision and split the Yang chakra up into the nine bijuu and sealed the Yin within me and a special seal named the Fate seal was placed upon me. The seal and my bloodline reacted in such a way that caused me to become immortal and I have dwelled in Konoha since before its birth with the Senju clan.. Nearly four years ago, my seal began to break because of Akatsuki's plans hence the name fate seal and I began to age once again. I have been forced into a permanent state of using senjutsu to hold the seal in place." Sonea explained as she stood up and moved her hair to show her seal on her back. "I am also what Madara would call a perfect jinchuuriki." She said as she pulled on the Jyuubi's chakra and transformed in front of the stunned crowd.
"Does Madara know about your power?" Gaara asked.
"No, by the sounds of it and he mustn't find out, he is a strong foe that I have faced in the past however this was kept top secret between the Kyuubi jinchuuriki and the Hokage only. There are a few trusted people in Konoha that know now too but I'm worried with what Danzo might do with this information. Do you have any more questions?" Sonea asked as she let go of the Jyuubi chakra and sat back down without the genjutsu covering her eyes this time.
"What will happen if your seal were to break completely? Will we have two Jyuubi's to go against?" Mei asked.
"No, the power I yield will go straight to its body and wait for its completion. We must find Killer Bee ASAP and protect both him and Naruto even though I don't think they will want to just sit around and wait while we fight for them. Fate can change in a split second we will not know the outcome of this war but right now it's not looking good." Sonea expressed and they all agreed.
"Well then what do we do now?" Ohnoiki asked.
"We have to form the Allied Shinobi Force. It's the only way we can try to counter the power of seven bijuu." Gaara said.
"You were oppose to this Raikage-sama?" Mei asked.
"It seems my younger brother is alive. We cannot allow ourselves to be manipulated by Akatsuki any longer. Form the Allied Shinobi Force and settle this once and for all." Raikage said calmly.
"What about Konoha? The Hokage ran off." Ohnoiki said.
"There is too much suspicion surrounding Danzo. He lost our trust at the summit. When the shinobi of Konoha learn about him his position in the village will become insecure. He will be removed in no time." Raikage stated and Sonea agreed.
"I will speak to someone I trust among Konoha regarding the Allied Shinobi Force." Gaara said.
"And who might that be?" Raikage asked.
"Sharingan no Hatake Kakashi." Gaara said and Sonea nearly blushed but did smirk slightly.
"The White Fang's son?" Ohnoiki asked and Raikage nodded.
"He is a good friend of mine and is loyal and trustworthy towards his village, he will be a good choice as he is one of the few people who know about my situation." Sonea let them know.
"Fine. He seems more trustworthy than Danzo." Raikage agreed.
"Perhaps it would be wise for the Allied Shinobi Force to plan on using the Hachibi, Kyuubi and Sonea as military weapon too." Ohnoiki suggested.
"That cannot happen. This war is to protect them. There is a reason Madara is waging war with just the seven bijuu he has collected so far. It is too difficult for Madara in his weakened state and the Akatsuki members to capture the Hachibi and Kyuubi. And even if they succeed the risk is too great. That is why he may be luring them to his side in the war. In any case using the hachibi, Kyuubi and Sonea in her weakened state for battle is not a wise strategy." Gaara stated logically and Mei and A agreed.
"If we consider the worse case scenario it will be like offering them what they want on a silver platter. And besides the Hachibi is my younger brother and 'military strategy' is a foreign concept to him. I can't predict what he'll do. He may just create more chaos on the battlefield." Raikage explained and Sonea smiled, he sounded like Naruto.
"Kazekage, Sonea, we will leave the matter with Kakashi with you. On my way here I met Kakashi and the Kyuubi jinchuuriki on my way here, they might still be in the Land of Iron." Raikage informed them. It was decided that he would lead the force and they all got going to their destinations with Sonea tracking the Kyuubi.
From far away she could see Naruto talking to Sai with Kakashi and Yamato with him but what caught her attention was his blue eyes that looked like they were in shear turmoil and Sonea became worried as they stopped by them.
"There is something you must hear immediately. We will tell you everything that happened at the Five Kage Summit." Temari said, getting straight to the point as she explained Danzo and Sasuke as well as the final decision.
"I'm not to eager about becoming Hokage. Even if the situation requires me to accept. I'll have to return to Konoha first and hear what the others say." Kakashi explained.
"Madara has declared war on us! There's no time to deliberate." Temari pressured them.
"I'm sure they would approve. We should have them proceed on the premise that you are the Hokage Kakashi. If our response is delayed and Madara and the Akatsuki take the advantage that would be even worse." Yamato said.
"I guess your right, thanks." Kakashi said, a bit annoyed at the situation.
"And Sasuke… For him to attack the Summit" Yamato said with slight disbelief.
"Naruto, this is a war to protect the Hachibi, Kyuubi and Jyuubi's Yin chakra, namely you and Sonea. And it's also for the ninja world. As the Kazekage I would give my life to protect you. If Uchiha Sasuke confronts the Allied Shinobi Force as a member of Akatsuki I will show no mercy. Sasuke doesn't care about you, all he wants is darkness. Naruto, you told me 'I am going to be Hokage.' I have become the Kazekage. If you are prepared to bare the burden of being a Kage then do what is right as Sasuke's friend." Gaara asked but Naruto just knocked Gaara's hand from his shoulder and stared numbly.
"We've said everything we've needed to say. Let's go Gaara. We will return to our village. Hatake Kakashi with the understanding that you will be Hokage, Suna will take action. As allied nations I pray that there will be no conflicting Intel between us." Temari said as the siblings began to leave.
"I consider you my closest friend. In the past 'friend' was merely a word to me. But after meeting you, you made me realise that the meaning of that word is what's important. What does it mean? What can you do for Sasuke? Think hard about that." Gaara said and they left. Sonea watched as emotions of denial crossed his face, wondering what had thrown him into such turmoil when she had seen him so happy over a month ago after defeating Pain.
"So, what will we do now? In any case, I think we should return to Konoha and report about what happened at the summit. And also about Sakura." Yamato said. Naruto still stood numbly as Sonea stood where she was examining him with worried eyes, she hadn't replaced the genjutsu over them as there was no point anymore.
" The real me is accompanying Sakura. She won't be allowed to get near Sasuke. You can count on that." Sai assured them.
"But it would be better to go in person and talk her out of it. Alright. Yamato, take Naruto and Sonea back to the village. I'll bring Sakura back. Sakura is no match for Sasuke. It would be like she's going there to die. I'll dispatch the ninken with a report about the summit since its urgent… Sai, take me to Sakura." Kakashi decided and Naruto began gasping. Sonea stepped up to him and watched as he struggled with inner turmoil. He grabbed his chest over his heart and began falling, Sonea grabbed him as his body tilted over and lay him down while he lost consciousness with hyperventilation. They gathered around and tried to talk to him but Sonea silenced them by holding up a finger and letting him settle into unconsciousness properly before hitting him with her palm on his chest with a small wind and lightning jutsu that got his heart and breathing under control and he slept peacefully.
"You should get going before she finds Sasuke and you end up fighting him. Yamato will help me carry him inside to let him rest before we go back to Konoha… Go!" She said up to them and Sai and Kakashi took off while Yamato picked Naruto up and walked inside. Sonea noted the damage done recently and obviously repaired by Yamato as he lay him down on a futon and placed a blanket over him. "What happened here?" Sonea questioned him sternly as they sat down to watch Naruto.
"Madara showed up." Yamato said simply and Sonea scowled.
"What did he want?" Sonea asked.
"He talked about Sasuke… That is all I can say" Yamato said harshly. Sonea became annoyed.
"What do you mean that is all you can say?!" She nearly stood up before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes to calm herself. "I'm sorry, it's been a rough two days since I woke up… Please explain what you can Yamato." Sonea said calmly.
"We came with Naruto to find the Raikage so he could ask him to forgive Sasuke but it didn't work so we came here to rest for a while since Naruto doesn't do well in the cold either like you. Madara showed up and said he just wanted to talk about Sasuke and the path he has chosen and to find out why Nagato gave his life for Naruto but he explained about Itachi and how Sasuke now wants revenge on Konoha for his brother. Sakura then came along with Lee, Kiba and Akamaru and Sai to tell Naruto that she loved him but he saw right through her and she then decided to go after Sasuke herself to kill him which is why Senpai has gone after her with one of Sai's clones. That is all I can tell you." Yamato explained.
"So… About Itachi… Did he tell you about the supposed 'real' truth about that night?" Sonea asked him and his eyes widened.
"You know?" He asked and Sonea nodded.
"About it actually being a mission, yes, I know the whole story, Itachi told me himself." Sonea said and the room went silent. Naruto woke up from a nightmare a while later and asked what happened and where he was and Kakashi before he began to panic again and Yamato lay him back down while Sonea wiped away his sweat with a cloth and went to rinse it off and placed it across his forehead with a small smile at him as she brushed his hair back. Yamato came in with a bowl of porridge for him but he said he wasn't hungry and hid under the blankets. Yamato fell asleep and Sonea stilled her movements to see what Naruto would do and she guessed right.
