She sat by Kiro, looking at the poor boy who cried himself to sleep. She reached out to him but her hand went through. "Kiro what I wouldn't give to comfort you right now…." She thought sadly looking at the rising sun in the strange world her son was in. Kairi sighed knowing she only had so much time left.

"A Darkness in Amestris?" Zidane asked. As he set his ship on Auto Pilot to listen to the information Nanaki had received with Kiro. When Kaen confronted them, he nodded.
"It seems like Bradley and the military might be part of that Darkness. And how deep it goes we won't know. Kiro might've been able to tell us more but…." Nanaki muttered trailing off.
Amei didn't say anything she was still upset over the raid on the Devil's Nest holding BB-8 the small Robot that was mostly a ball with a small semi-circle shaped head on top with a few tiny antenna and orange patterns. He made a sad sound at her.
"I'll be okay…" She muttered taking a breath. "We have to find Kiro! I want to make sure he's alright!" Amei stated. Zidane nodded and looked to his screen.
"There's a nearby world we'll start there," He said. "Hopefully we'll get lucky, the way I understand it, only the Keyblade wielder when they open a Corridor only they know where they're going if that. Who knows where he ended up…."

Kiro groaned hearing birds chirping around him. The ground was wet from the morning dew he sat up using Magic to refresh himself. And then dry off. He looked around he could see roads carved out of the forest nearby. He looked at the road closely wheel tracks. Also some foot prints at points. But they had long since faded. "This world has people living in it. I guess I should start by looking for a town…" Kiro said to himself. He suddenly saw something jump over him. He jumped up to the tree and managed to catch glimpses of people in certain attire that made Kiro's heart skip jump forward and quickly disappear out of sight.
"Ninja!" Kiro said brightening and trying to follow. "Well, I'm sure I'll find some town if I follow!" he said using flow-motion to catch up. The thoughts of when he played Ninja with Ava's fox mask crept into his mind.
"Ninja!" Kiro shouted on Sora from behind the couch only to be immediately grabbed by Sora who tickled him. The Mask tumbling off to the ground onto the carpet.
"It's not a sneak attack if you shout when you do it kiddo!" Sora growled playfully as Kiro laughed hysterically more so at a raspberry in his tummy making them both laugh wildly.
Tears came to his eyes as he smiled widely more than he had in three years. It made him more desperate to find his parents. He sped off to catch up.
We see the shadow of a large monster fox that roars before the shadow is dissipated by a swirling ball of energy slamming down into it. The force reveals a forest a tall building far away and another building closer by and in the middle two large statues of powerful looking men. The wind uncovers the title
Shinobi World
Before Black Flames engulf the entire thing into nothing.
"Naruto?" the White headed boy at his side asked. His mouth turning into a frown with his shark teeth sitting at the sides of his lips, as the brow on his purple eyes narrowed in suspicion. "So this Naruto guy defeated Pain all by himself?" he asked.
Sasuke himself didn't react, his dark eyes merely fixated on Zetsu who had used his Chakra to emerge from the wood of the adjacent branch. Karen with her vibrantly red hair in her face frowned as well. His glasses glaring with skepticism, Jugo merely stood warily his own spiky bright orange hair in contrast to Karen's being so short. But he too didn't seem so sure. But Sasuke had seen proof of Naruto's potential before it showed that there was no satisfying growth in the leaf village.
"That's right," Zetsu trailed. "He's become extremely strong. I think he's even stronger than Sasuke right now."
Sasuke smirked; there was a time that would've made him angry. But that wasn't on his mind right now. Danzo had forced Itachi on a path that made them enemies. He orchestrated the Uchiha massacre. Hiruzen the loathsome third Hokage was beyond his reach. But Danzo who dared stained the object of Itachi's dreams with his filthy hands by declaring himself the sixth Hokage and the two lap dogs who out lived their master Tobirama, spilling their blood took up his priorities. "I don't care about that," Sasuke replied in a bored tone. "Our goal is the Kage Summit and the life of the Sixth Hokage." He added.
"Well, shouldn't be heading to the Land of Iron then?" Suigestu asked. Karen turned to glare at him. "What I'm not wrong!" he defended in a defensive tone.
"Sounds like a plan to me," Said the masked man Madara. He had revealed the truth to Sasuke a few weeks ago. Still he hadn't seen his real face. It was concealed by an Orange mask with one eye and a whirlpool pattern coming from it, his short black hair poking out from the top.
"How do we even get there?!" Karen asked becoming bothered by how things were turning out.
"My Clone will lead you there," Said Zetsu as the large Venus Fly trap head opened he could see the body of the full man pale zombie like with Green hair and Chalk white skin on one side. And Black with a Red eye on the other. Much to their surprise and Karin's disgust he began to split into until the white half become a full person.
"Follow me!" he shouted jumping ahead, vines poking out from the lower half of a split robe and pants.
Sasuke's group followed behind Jugo making sure to catch up with him. He turned his head while Sasuke kept his eyes on Zetsu. "Can we trust them?" he asked.
"For now, we'll wait and see. If I sense anything suspicious, I'll destroy it with my Amaterasu." Sasuke replied simply keeping his voice low for only him and his group of Taka to hear. "There's something I wanted to test anyway.

Kiro watched from a distance as a large powerful Dark Hide Heartless a large black lion like creature. With glowing nightmarish yellow eyes, five tendrils around its head where a lion's mane would be tipped in red. It had blue lines running up and down its body, with a Gradient of Dark purple around the legs. With a large spiked lizard like tail, and giant red claws. Its wrists were also wrapped it chains that in no way restrained the beast. The Heartless snarled at the group before it. It consisted of three men. A man with a mask and goggles only his face showing, in Dark Ninja attire with a padded vest for protection. The other wore a brown Gi and a black under shirt with pants. With a Katana on his back, and piercing golden eyes, that was glaring at the beast. The third was the oldest man he had short greying dark brown hair. It was poking out and tied up from the Bandages that were wrapped around his face and the left half of his face. He wore a blue Gi underneath a large green cloak that was tied off with a purple belt around the waist. His hand resting on a cane at his side, he went forward. "I'll handle this," He muttered.
"Lord Danzo!" the orange haired one shouted as the Dark Hide Heartless lunged at him. Danzo merely pulled the bandages from his left eye away and a red light shone from the hole. It put a tint of red over the eyes of the Heartless it stumbled forward, landing a few feet from Danzo. It started writhing in confusion before Danzo wove Hand signs and suddenly large sharp looking tree roots surged from the ground and impaled the monster through its spiked back. It let out a pathetic whine before fading away.
"What was that power just now?!" Kiro gasped in his thoughts. "Somehow he confused that Heartless, and left it open for an attack but how?" Kiro asked hoping he could stay hidden. But somehow neither of them were aware that the Thorn Knight from before was standing above them. But he wasn't alone.
Beside him was a tall woman in a Dark Cloak with large devil horns with cloth wrapping around her head. Her skin was a pale green, with dark almost black lipstick. She wore a long black cloak that was purple underneath and was cut in a way it looked like fire or black feathers when spread. She was holding onto to a tall black staff with a lime green orb glowing on the end; and a large ring with a black jewel around her finger. She smiled.
"Danzo passed my little test with flying colors, it seems. He'll make a fine edition. As for the boy," she said turning towards the Thorn Knight who looked back at her. "You know what to do."
He nodded, and disappeared but was following after Kiro as the boy however lost sight of Danzo quickly. But that didn't matter to Maleficent. It seemed as though Danzo sent his presence and put him under a subtle Genjutsu to shake him off. She smirked at this. Everything was going to plan and she'd make sure not to take any chances this time.

Kiro was so sure that he had followed Danzo's group around here. But somehow the boy had lost sight of the three. What he did know is that it was now cold. He missed his shell spell. He focused trying to remember and feeling eventually he suddenly felt warmer and felt a bit of his energy wane. He had cast it and now he could be shielded by the cold that Danzo had probably used that same power to send him too. He sighed however he suddenly heard voices. He snuck over and watched from the bushes.
"Come out you Leaf Village Dogs! We know you're there!" shouted a man in a heavy cloak with blonde hair and a headband similar to the one Danzo's body guards wore. But these had a cloud symbol on them. He was next to a man with striking white hair and black skin wearing similar attire but had a sword on his back. They seemed to be guarding a tall man with white slicked back hair and a small mustache and pointed goatee. To Kiro's surprise he was wearing a jacket and pants but nothing else underneath how could he stand such frigid cold!? Sure Kiro was an Islander so he was more vulnerable to it. But still it was far from winter attire.
Appearing on command of his blonde body guard were three more Ninja. One of which had silver hair and wore his headband which had the leaf symbol he had seen before tilted and folded out a bit to cover his right eye. He also wore a mask over his mouth and nose, pretty much how Kiro pictured Ninja to look like. The other on the left side was a man with brown hair that was short. He also wore some face armor that was attached to his headband. His face and eyes were a bit creepy. The one in the middle was a boy only a few years older than him. With Blue eyes one of which was covered in bandages, a black headband with long tails, making his bright blonde almost yellow hair spike out more. He had whisker markings on the sides of his cheeks. They were all wearing pale white cloaks with tiny pin stripes. There were three other Ninja nearby too. One was a black skinned boy with a lollipop in his mouth wearing a cloak like the two girls with him. A well-endowed girl with short blonde hair, her skin was paler then the girl with orange hair and chocolate colored skin next to her with her hair pulled back by a white cloth.
"Boss the guy with the mask, that's Kakashi Hatake!" the blonde body guard hissed as the blonde boy stepped forward.
"Hrmph I know that much," the tallest scantily clad man replied. "So are you the Hokage's errand boy, did he send you here?"
"Tell me, are you aware that the Five Kage summit is about to begin?" The blonde body guard growled.
"We're aware but today we came to ask a favor sir. It's Naruto Uzumaki he'd like to Petition you." Kakashi replied.
"Petition?" the tallest man asked inquisitively. "Alright then Boy start talking," Naruto stepped forward.
"Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha!" the boy replied in a gruff but young pubescent voice. "I want you to cancel his disposal!"
The ninja that were between the two groups gasped. The boy with the lollipop hissed Naruto's name but he didn't back down.
The Blond Body guard's eyes widened stunned. "What?! What are you-"he growled suspiciously but the boy cut him off.
"I know it's a lot to ask but I have to try!" the blonde boy cried. His face scrunched up in pain. He dropped to his knees. "Sasuke is my best friend! I can't just sit back and watch him be killed. And I don't want him to become the cause of War between the leaf and cloud! I don't want either of us to be caught up in revenge!" he begged.
Kiro watched carefully a lot of things had happened in this world he felt sorry, for this Sasuke and the boy and hoped with his Heart the Man would consider this if only for the Cloud Village where he seemed to be from. "Please I'm begging you I don't want anyone else to die for revenge!" the boy cried out.
The man scoffed folding his arms. "And here I was wondering what you'd ask. Why should I stop Sasuke's elimination? As far as this world's concerned he's trash!" he stated bluntly. "What he did caused Chaos to the Cloud, Chaos that will spread across the world. Sasuke's very existence is evil, he no longer counts as a Ninja and evil can't be allowed to have its way." He growled. "All we're doing is getting rid of something the world does not need." He added. Kiro looked at his own hand.
"I wonder have I crossed that line too. No doubt I caused my whole family and several worlds' chaos especially Amestris!"
"You have no right to stop us!" The Cloud Village leader growled. The boy growled lifting his head to glare at him.
"Sasuke isn't trash!" he growled the brown haired man called out the name Naruto as he put up a fist his legs positioning to move forward. "And he is needed and he's not evil! You have to understand! He's my friend he's important to me!" Naruto begged.
Kiro stared in awe, a bit envious of Sasuke. no way he had done anything bad in comparison to Kiro. But Kiro wanted someone who still desperately wanted to save him too.
The Cloud Leader scoffed, "You say he's important to you!? You're quite a fool yourself!" he growled.
"Maybe but Sasuke was all about Vengeance! And now it's leading him to being used!" Naruto sobbed, "Please have mercy…." Naruto begged.
"You know how this world works!" The Cloud leader growled, "Nothing you say will change anything! Sasuke Uchiha is an evil that will throw it into confusion! No Matter what we will Eliminate Sasuke Uchiha!" He snarled before glaring disgustedly at Naruto.
"Lord Raikage, the incident in which you attempted to steal a Byakugan is still unresolved on our side because of those noble sacrifices your people still exist!" The brown haired man pointed out.
Kakashi stood by his side. "Right here and now, no matter how awkward, is bowing his head, with respect and affection for both the Cloud and the Leaf. Lord Raikage as one of the five Kage, tell me what do you think of this?" The Raikage turned sharply.
"A Shinobi shouldn't bow their heads! Action and power are the things a Shinobi should respect! We will brand the Akasutki as wanted criminals and after that not only the Cloud but the whole world will hunt Sasuke down." He growled before continuing in a completely disgusted tone. "You bow your head for a criminal and beg mercy to keep your comrade safe?! In the Shinobi world that is now power or resolve only pathetic weakness!" he growled. He turned to the two body guards and three Ninja. "We're going," he said simply they all followed two of them looking sadly back at Naruto as they left.
"Well," the Brown haired man sighed. "It was a long shot," he muttered as a powerfully built Heartless in armor with a powerful looking Axe it took a swing while their backs were turned.
"Look out!" Kiro shouted running forward to do something however The Heartless suddenly died Kakashi's arm having been where its chest was, as the one that had been standing nearby disappeared into smoke.
"Those things are everywhere," Kakashi sighed. Kiro stopped and stared in awe. How long had he sensed the Heartless' presence? When did his clone switch out? It was amazing.
"That was awesome!" Kiro could only think before the fact that he had just jumped out in front of three Ninja.
"Hey who are you?!" the brown haired man shouted. Making Kiro yelp he was caught he came forward and smiled nervously.
"I am Kiro and I'm from far, far, far-"He started but Kakashi cut him off.
"We know you're not from this world," Kakashi said pointing at the Keyblade in Kiro's hand, the new Equivalent Exchange Keyblade he had gotten from Amestris. The Blade was similar to a tumble key with a few teeth indents but the blade itself is similar to Edward's arm blade. The Middle of the Handguard has a replica of Alphonse's head. The hand guard was made of glowing blue electricity like the kind that was made with Alchemy. A Replica of Edward's silver Pocket Watch hung low as the Keychain.
"I'm not good at this," Kiro sighed.
"Where are your parents anyway?" Kakashi asked.
"Uhh, I'll get back to you on that maybe, so what's a Kage summit?" Kiro asked.
"Hey how long were you listening kid!?" Naruto growled coming out of his saddened stupor.
"Uhh long enough to hear the whole conversation." He said trying to think of ways to butter them up so he could be in less trouble or end up in a jail cell somewhere. "But I've always tried to be stealthy like Ninja, using my power to quiet my movements. Like a Ninja they're all about espionage secrecy and surprise, destroying foes before they even have a chance to react!" Kiro declared.
Kakashi wasn't buying it neither was his brown haired partner. "It's scary what this kid knows even if it's not specific to Konoha." He muttered. Kakashi nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, if you don't mind me asking how did all this happen?" Kiro asked. Kakashi thought for a minute maybe there was no harm in telling this kid. He seemed harmless enough. He explained everything. How Both Naruto and Sasuke we're orphans on the same team that he himself trained. Team Seven. The third Team Mate was Sakura Haruno. A man named Orochimaru who was one of the Leaf Village's greatest enemies and sought his body, cursed Sasuke with a mark that gave him power but corrupted his mind. That and his desire for revenge had pushed him to run away from the village. The attempt to retrieve him had ended in failure. He managed to kill Orochimaru before he could steal Sasuke's body for himself later but Sasuke never returned to the village. He was after Itachi Uchiha his older brother the one who had slaughtered his whole clan to test the limits of his abilities.
Kiro found this horrible, making him hate Itachi deeply especially since in a way this was his fault. Part of what pushed Sasuke to leave was them meeting again sometime after the death of the Third Hokage. From there things seemed to be getting worse as the world had started to slowly go to Chaos around them. Three years and several months after the fact, special Ninja which Naruto was a part of Jinchuriki had been kidnapped and had their tailed beasts stolen which had almost killed another named Gaara who was the leader of the Sand Village. After the supposed leader of this group the Akasutki had invaded the village and destroyed it. They had heard Sasuke had joined the group which had angered many of Naruto's classmates who had made the rank of Ninja. Not helped by the fact that the current Hokage Tsunade Senju had been put into a Coma leaving a dark untrusty worthy man named Danzo Shimura to take the position on the choice of the land's Fire Lord. On top of that Sasuke is responsible for the death and disappearance of the Eight Tails Jinchuriki
"That's quite the story," Kiro muttered in shock sadly. "I want to help anyway I can! Kakashi sir, what if we captured Sasuke and took him back to your village as a prisoner and interrogate him for information about the Akasutki."
"That might give his life some value on the political side of things." Yamato noted. "But they'll demand Sasuke's death."
"I suppose we can worry about that later, either way Sasuke can't be allowed to run free any more regardless of whether or not he's alive." Kakashi noted.
"Let's do it!" Naruto said determined to save his friend.

The Five Kage had arrived at the place where the summit took place. Unaware they were being watched. By Sasuke and his crew, The Wind howled outside. But Danzo merely took in the reality that was now among the five Kage as the Hokage. He had also noticed the others. Gaara a lithe deep redheaded boy with a mark meaning love scared on his forehead wearing deep red clothes and a protective vest. There was the Mizukage, Mei Terumi a tall attractive woman with chest nut colored hair hanging around her face and eyes with a top knot. She was wearing a blue dress that cut around the legs where she had shorts underneath. And armored sandals the stockings and edge of her dress had the mesh mail that was common in Ninja attire. The Dress also cut low around the top. And the Raikage Ay had arrived as well.
The Tsuchikage Onoki, who had managed to live this long to his surprise, was a small elderly man with a large red nose with a long handle bar mustache and goatee his white haired tied in a top knot and back with a yellow tie. He wore a green robe with a large red top both separated by a gold pattern. He had a basic Ninja attire a grey armored vest and pants underneath. He was the shortest of them all but still managed to see well over the table.
Others had arrived too including Mifune, a samurai with dark green armor a black padded vest and grey attire. Underneath his head rapped in bandages with steel grey hair mustache that hung low by his chin with his goatee. There were also the body guards that had come and were sitting in the stands of the auditorium. Danzo didn't particularly care about them however. But he knew Mifune's influence would have mass weight in his proposition he let the power of his most prized, Sharingan begin to glow subtly.
Mifune spoke, "You the five Kage have gathered here in response to Lord Raikage's summons. I Mifune shall preside over it. Now let the Kage Summit, begin."
The Raikage had slammed his fist into the table. "Hmph there is no time, I will tell you why I called you all here!" he growled. "I summoned you here to finally question your loyalties!" he snarled.
Danzo huffed just enough that It wouldn't be noticed. He wasn't one to talk given the incident with the Hyuga a clan he couldn't afford to have culled in anyway. Not unlike the potential pool of traitors that were the Uchiha clan. They always had the potential for betrayal everything he did years ago was meant to bring it to the surface.
"You five Kage have been summoned here, at Lord Raikage's summons. I Mifune will preside over these proceedings. And now let the Five Kage summit commence!" Mifune said as he landed a gavel.
"Allow me to begin." Said the youngest Kage Gaara, said, but was cut off, by the Tsuchikage who let out a small laugh.
"My, my how the Kage have changed." He sneered. "To be named Kage at such a young age is quite impressive lord Kazekage." He added in a condescending tone.
The Raikage slammed his fist into the table to get everyone's attention, "There is no time for this, I will tell you why we're all here, I am here to question all your loyalties!" he snarled glaring at them all.
"This is all very sudden, Lord Raikage." Onoki said turning his attention away from Gaara. "Loyalties aren't you exaggerating a bit?" The Raikage glared.
"You're shameless Tsuchikage! You're the most suspicious of all!" the Raikage growled. "The Akasutki are composed of rogue Ninja from your villages, Mist, Leaf, Sand and Stone. And that's not all I have proof that there are those among you who have utilized the Akasutki!" he snarled glaring at Onoki who didn't deny it but was in no way remorseful over it either.
"Utilized, what do you mean?" Gaara asked.
"You're the Kazekage and you know nothing?" the Raikage asked skeptically, "The Sand has utilized them as well!"
"Currently the five great nations are stable, and are switching from Arms-build up to disarmament. But of course there are risks that come with that. What if war breaks out suddenly? Who do you send to fight?" Onoki asked.
"So one way to avoid that risk is having a mercenary force handy like the Akasutki? Is that it?" Gaara asked darkly.
"They go into battle for a low price, and they achieve excellent results!" Onoki replied simply. As Danzo had heard Onoki was as opportunistic as they come. Snuffing out any risk without using, his own forces. It made him wonder if the Hidden Stone village had become fat and lazy. He shuddered at the thought. It was bad enough that the entire leaf village and its next generation had gone so soft with child's play not actual ninja training. He then heard the Raikage who was on the verge of another outburst clench his fist.
Mei finally spoke. "Since it has come to this I will be honest. There is concern as to whether someone may have been manipulating my predecessor the fourth Mizukage. It could've been one of the Akasutki but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it," she admitted.
The Raikage growled. "Your village too!? You disgust me every single one of you!" he snarled. He shouted slamming his fist into the table causing part of the wood to smash and splinter. This caused several of the body guards including his own to jump forward to strike back.
Mifune stood. "Calm down, fighting amongst ourselves will not resolve any issues." He told the Raikage who snarled but relented. The bodyguards retracted their weapons but didn't return to the stands.
"Before we begin slaughtering each other over our integrities," Danzo began a bit sardonically less than impressed with how much Ay's, anger controlled him. "There is something I would like to tell everyone." Danzo said deciding now was the time to put his plan into action. "What I have discovered, is that the Akasutki have been using the funds they have gathered from their missions to prepare for something. It seems to involve gathering the Tailed Beasts and using their power."
"But no one can control the Tailed Beasts! They have minds of their own and don't see eye to eye with Shinobi." The Raikage snapped.
"There have been a few," Onoki pointed out. "The First Hokage Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha."
"You can add my predecessor, to that list." Mei added.
"I also know that until he was stripped of his tailed beast, the Kazekage was among that group, as well as the Raikage's brother." Danzo said as Ay snarled at the thought of his brother's death.
"No one of the Akasutki, are foolish or stupid enough to make the attempt unless they were confident in their success. So their leader is probably, Madara Uchiha." He said making everyone gasp in surprise. "I don't personally know all the details myself. But this was from a pretty reliable source."
There was no arguing with that, he could tell. As far as Danzo knew, they knew he had no reason or anything to gain from deceiving them. "I thought he was long dead, so he really is a monster huh…." Onoki hummed in surprise.
Mifune spoke up. "Let me say this as a Neutral nation. It is rare for all five Kage to be gathered together like this. So what say you, until the Akasutki is disposed of, why not form the first Allied Shinobi force?"
"Allied forces?" Ay asked flatly.
"A splendid proposition, we are practically in a state of emergency cooperation is the key." Danzo agreed, putting more power into his genjutsu now.
"That would be acceptable," Onoki hummed. "However to whom do you suggest handing the reins of these allied forces?"
"If the choice was left to all of you, you would simply squabble. Thus I would like to make this suggestion." Mifune said. Just about…. "The only remaining Jinchuriki is the Leaf's Ninetails and I feel how he is guided will be the key. Also considering that working with different personalities, ages and Nations would be necessary. I think the best choice would be this? Why not allow the Hidden Leaf Village's Hokage to lead the Allied Ninja forces?" Mifune asked.
Danzo smirked at this while Ay stood up slamming his fist again breaking the able even further.
"WHY, WHY WOULD YOU GIVE SUPREME CONTROL OVER THE NINJA ALLIANCE TO HIM," Ay roared. "THIS MAN IS ALSO KNOWN BY THE MONIKER OF THE NINJA OF DARKNESS!"
"I am merely stating my unbiased opinion as the Neutral party," Mifune replied calmly.
"If it is acceptable," Danzo replied in false humility. "Then I will take this mission."
"Don't be absurd no one said you were-" Ay began but suddenly a voice called out.
"Just a moment please," said a voice. They turned to see a man in a blue sweater and ninja attire and blue hair with an eye patch over his eye. Ao one of the Mizukage's bodyguards, this could be bad. He may have been found out considering Ao had a stolen Byakugan.
"Lord Hokage, please show us that eye you keep covered in bandages," he commanded.
The Mizukage blinked in confusion. "Ao, what's this about? What does his bandaged eye have to do with anything?" she asked.
"Something about the way things, were going felt off." Ao admitted. "So I took the liberty of using my Byakugan on the Lord Hokage. What I saw when I did so, was something I had fought long ago: The Sharingan of Sishui Uchiha. His Particular visual Jutsu, Kotomatsukami induce phantom experiences that seem like voluntary actions."
The Raikage's skin had tinted brightly with Red. As he snarled hatefully at Danzo, Mei stared incredulously at Danzo. "Lord Hokage, don't tell me you're manipulating Mifune to turn the situation to your advantage."
Onoki snorted back some laughter, "and people say I'm the shameless one here."
"I doubt you're helping Lord Tsuchikage," Gaara quietly interjected as the poor table was again assaulted by Raikage slamming his fist into it, his part threatened to split in two now, snarling at Danzo as he did so.
Danzo glared hatefully at Ao, who merely looked back at him with cold resolution on his face. All eyes were on him now. He felt the suspicion and accusation weigh heavily on him. "Even if you can fool the others you can't fool my Byakugan."
Danzo scowled, "That eye was never yours…" he growled pulling away the bandages. Underneath it was an eye. It was unique from all the others. It was blood red rimmed in black. That same black formed a pinwheel like pattern of four points the dorsal fin of a shark on top of the same shape but upside down.
The Mangekyo Sharingan of the boy he had killed to stop his plans to interfere with the Coup he worked tirelessly to make reality was out in the light for all to see.

Sakura a girl with short pink hair aqua colored eyes, a red headband that held her hair back. With a red shirt with a black undershirt, she also wore a pink skirt black shorts combo. dodged another blow from Rock Lee a boy with a simple face round eyes in a green jump suit and armored vest with a bowl haircut. He had opened the third gate against her. In doing so she suddenly saw that he had driven her towards a trap that was drawn out by Sai a boy who looked a lot like her old team mate Sasuke but with much paler skin and his hair wasn't spiky with a short grey vest and short black shirt that bared his midriff and ninja pants.
He was quickly drawing away on his scroll out came a large Lion creature that was intended to pin her down. She charged up Chakra in her fist she could feel it gathering in her knuckles as she tightened her fist. She dove underneath the lion then powerfully thrust her fist upward. "CHA!" she shouted slamming her fist where the creature's vital organs would be if it were alive. It dissipated instantly in the air. Lea had taken this opportunity to hit her in the back he had managed to hit her spine hard. She fell to the ground.
Lea closed the gates and looked down at her as Sai came over looking just as sad as he did. "Sorry, Sakura but this is for your own good." Lee muttered sadly. Suddenly she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"A Shadow clone!?" Sai gasped as they looked around, looking for her. "This is bad…" Lee muttered feeling stupid for falling for it so easy. Suddenly they heard a roar. Coming towards them was a powerful spinning maelstrom of water that scooped them up and sent them a few miles away. She dropped down from where she had camouflaged herself. Her Mentor Kakashi had taught the Jutsu to her just before Naruto had returned from his training. He himself used his Sharingan to copy it from Zabuza on their first mission. And she had used it to knock back her fellow Leaf Ninja so she could continue attempting to find and kill Sasuke in their place.
"Sorry everyone…" She muttered sadly.
"Sakura Haruno right?" Shouted a voice she turned to see two children a boy with blonde hair a girl in strange blue clothes different from even her comrade's and some red wolf like Lion thing. She growled and got into a fighting stance.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Zidane yelped. "We met your friends. They want you to come back, and not to do anything stupid and die; Ino's words."
Sakura sighed, "I'm not going to die doing this. At least I hope not. Sasuke is a very powerful Ninja."
"All the more reason to think through this better," Nanaki warned. "There are more powerful Ninja who can handle Sasuke."
"I know, but…." She said glancing in the direction Lee and Sai had been sent flying. "Me and my Team mate Sai, had been talking about this. And I had no idea the damage I was doing to Naruto and Sasuke."
"The damage you caused?" Amei asked.
"A Curse Mark; is a special Ninja technique that can do all kinds of horrible things to the targets body. Corrupt their minds. Prevent them from revealing the truth about something. Even slowly kill them. That's what I am. Because I wasn't strong enough to keep up with Naruto and Sasuke, I couldn't go on the failed retrieval mission."
"The one to get Sasuke back right?" Zidane asked sadly.
"That's right," Sakura replied. "The two Ninja I fought. Sai and Rock Lee, they had Eliminate Sasuke but that's my burden to bear. I wanted to drug them, but I got caught and had to fight them."
"Listen, the way I understand it he still made the conscious choice to leave. Things happen and a lot of the times they're completely out of your control." Zidane noted.
"Yeah, but not a day goes by where I don't think about how things could've changed. If I had taken my ninja training more seriously back when I was starting out. Maybe I could've fought Sasuke and prevented him from leaving. Maybe if I had composed myself better, I wouldn't have impulsively made Naruto promise to bring him back. A Promise that turned out to be impossible, or maybe I would've actually fought him in that base. I've been useless this whole time and now things have spiraled so badly out of control that there's no going back now."
"Okay well instead of a suicide mission, how about talking Naruto out of that promise." Amei suggested.
"That could work," Sakura replied. "But if it doesn't I'll have to eliminate Sasuke myself. It hurts so much to see him destroy his own life and future. And he must be in so much pain. That would end the hurt for both of us." She thought to herself shedding a single tear.
Lord Raikage/Ay:A Powerful headstrong but temperamental leader of the Hidden Cloud Village. He doesn't think much of compassion or mercy saying that Naruto was weak for begging for him to pardon Sasuke. Ouch, He's also determined to mark him and this Akasutki as criminals in order to avenge his brother Naruto: Shippuden 2007
Cee: One of the Raikage's Body guards, he was able to sense where Kakashi and his group were almost instantly impressive, but calling them Dogs was a bit much. According to Kakashi when going to a Kage summit the village leader brings two powerful Ninja along as aides and body guards. So he must be pretty powerful Naruto: Shippuden 2007
Karui Akimichi: A Ninja who was being trained by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki before his death. She was absolutely furious wanting to kill Sasuke and tried to beat Naruto for information. Instead he suggested to use him as an outlet for her anger so she wouldn't seek revenge….honestly that sounds like something my Dad would do…I kind of find that admirable. Naruto: Shippuden 2007
Omoi: A Ninja who was being trained by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki before his death. Apparently in stark contrast to Karui he is a bit of a Pessimist but more level headed thinking things through. He was helpful in getting Karui to leave Naruto alone. Naruto Shippuden 2007
Samui: The leader of the Team consisting of Karui and Omoi. She had nothing to do with the attack on Naruto apparently. Apparently when they went to notify Danzo or rather Tsunade, of the Kage Summit they found the Leaf Village in ruins from Pain's attack. Unlike the other two she was pretty sure Karui throwing a Rock really hard didn't blow up the Leaf village or cause a massive rockslide. Naruto: Shippuden 2007
Darui: According to Kakashi one of the more famous and powerful Ninja of the Hidden Cloud village. Famous for his black lighting panther attack….I want to learn THAT! Naruto: Shippuden 2007
Gaara: The fifth Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village. Having taken over sometime after his fight with Naruto changed his perspective on life, which is good because apparently he was kind of crazy before. He was a Jinchuriki of the One Tails but the Akasutki kidnapped him and stole it almost killing him in the process. He's currently the youngest Kage. Naruto 2002
Naruto Uzumaki: A Ninja from the village, he lived his life as an orphan being ostracized by the Leaf village. Until he met his team mates who treated him like a Human for the first time in his life. He bonded with Sasuke over being Orphans and having similar drive despite their difference in skill. But Sasuke felt like he wasn't growing and left the village when Naruto dealt with Gaara and started catching up. Despite their rift caused by Jealousy and Sasuke's part Naruto is still determined to get Sasuke back to the village and be good again. Maybe there is way his hope in a seemingly impossible goal reminds me of the hope Ed and Al hold in their hearts. Naruto 2002
Kakashi Hatake: The Quintessential Ninja, also the leader of Team Seven having had Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura. He taught Sasuke a very special move known as Chidori to help satisfy his desire for power but it wasn't enough. He was also all Sasuke had when learning the Sharingan with the Uchiha gone. Naruto 2002
Sakura Haruno: A Member of the Original Team Seven lead by Kakashi. She fell behind the boys a bit and wasn't able to participate in the failed Sasuke retrieval mission but these days she not only has monster strength and excellent medic abilities thanks to her excellent Chakra control. But she's also able to use Water and Earth Techniques as well. Sounds like Chakra works similarly to magic. She didn't come with Naruto, Yamato and Kakashi because she like the others believes he's too far gone. Naruto 2002
Sai: Sasuke's replacement, when attempting to Raid one of Orochimaru's base, he and Yamato came along as replacements for Sasuke who they were trying to find and Kakashi who had been beat up really bad at the time. He can utilize Chakra in what he draws and use that as an attack. Apparently he knows nothing about Social interactions….or how normal people act because he used to be one of Danzo's special Ninja the Foundation which demands those things be removed. Naruto: Shippuden 2007
Captain Yamato: Kakashi's temporary replacement when Kakashi was seriously injured during a mission where they attempted to retrieve Sasuke against during a raid on one of Orochimaru's hide outs. He uses and extremely rare technique known as Wood style. And can control with fear apparently Naruto: Shippuden 2007
Sasuke Uchiha: A Former member of Team Seven. And much like his Brother Itachi was a prodigy but it wasn't enough for him. Because Itachi had killed his whole clan he sought revenge, even seeking out Orochimaru to train him. But even though Sasuke has apparently killed Itachi something seems to have happened as not only has he refused to return to the village, he's joined the Criminal Organization called the Akasutki and all but Naruto have given up on the good inside him….I wish I had someone who believed in me that much….because honestly no doubt I'm worse. Naruto 2002
Danzo Shimura: The Sixth Hokage He immediately took the job when the previous one Tsunade went into a coma. He seems shady and no one particularly likes him except the land's fire Lord apparently that or just intimidated him into giving Danzo the job. Naruto: Shippuden 2007
Orochimaru: One of the most Dangerous Ninja of all time. He sought to learn all Jutsu and stole bodies as a means of immortality with Sasuke as his targeted victim but Sasuke got away and killed him. And yet he kind of caused most of everything that's happened. Naruto 2002
Itachi Uchiha: Sasuke's evil brother who slaughtered their clan. Apparently he left Sasuke alive because he wasn't worth killing this only filled his brother's heart with hate. And that Hate has spiraled out of control. Despite Sasuke avenging his clan finally He was a prodigy and one powerful enough to not only take- out, a whole clan. But one of the best the Leaf had seen in years! Naruto 2002
So you know how Kiro is writing the Journal…yeah I think this might cause me to omit some Characters despite them showing up at first until he learns a bit about them. Sorry I also put Orochimaru here because I felt like he had a presence in how things got to be this way from Kiro's perspective same with Itachi
