Sean mumbled to himself as he walked into the village. He stopped suddenly and looked up to the trees. Sean's arm opened up for mechanical gears to show and a cannon to replace his palm. He blasted into the trees and exploded the tops of a small bundle. A man with pure white skin jumped from the trees as they exploded and landed close to Sean. Sean recognized the man from earlier with Danzo.

Sean moved his cannon hand for the pale man. "That was a warning shot. I don't like to be followed by a devil man's goon."

"I'm not a goon, I'm Sai. And Lord Danzo said to keep a close eye on you."

"I promise you I won't tell anyone of Danzo's plans. He holds the secret to the scroll and he controls the village. Besides, no one knows I'm alive. Pretty sure the old ones might want to know a bit more of me."

"Old ones?"

"The people I spoke to before I left."

"You mean your friends. I can appear to be your friend so it seems less suspicious of our actions."

"Those people aren't my friends." Sean kept his focus on him so he didn't see his own back open up. A metal tube flew out his back and dove into the ground. "We talked a few times, went on a few missions. Nothing more."

"Still, I won't deny the orders I was given."

"Give up."

The extension Sean grew darted out from the ground and wrapped around Sai's arm. It pull back and yanked Sai to his feet. Sean stepped on Sai's other arm and slammed his foot down on Sai's face.

"I warned you. With the Rinnegan I'm unstoppable, if I really desired to spread anything." Sean paused. "I just want to return to peace."

Sean felt the tip of steel push on his neck. The blade pushed up and forced him to stretch up his neck. He looked over to the side at another man that looked like Sai. He felt his tail slash off his body.

"Two more. You people never bare to surprise." Sean said with a sour tone. Sean looked down at Sai who still sat on the ground. He looked at the two men with shock. "What is it?"

Sean froze, he pushed down at the blade on his throat even though it punctured his skin and dug in. A few inches of a sword was exposed in his midsection. His shirt was ripped off and revealed the rod planted in his chest.

"Reverse summoning jutsu." Sean's eyes puffed into smoke. "Won't get me that easy." Sean got his words off right before the rod in his chest was pulled out.

Sean spoke into Miri's mind. "Miri! Run down the trail! Some people got hold of my body!"

Miri pushed off Magu and up to her feet. "Ah, I'll be back." She snapped her fingers to Magu before she ran off.

"I'm sorry Miri. Guess I wasn't as adapt in the Rinnegan as I thought."

"Don't worry about it." Miri kept straight into the air and closed her eyes. She focused on her energy to bring on her sage mode. "Summoning jutsu!" She pressed her hands on the ground as she landed and summoned her brother next to her. "Let's just get these guys."

They ran up into the scene, two shinobi in the Leaf's green tactical vest attacked the lone Sai. Sai guarded himself with three living drawings of lions. The two attackers didn't budge against the unique jutsu.

"Easy attack from behind." Miri arched her back down and pressed her normal hand to the ground. "Sage art; demon claw!" The force on Miri's arm double in size. She dug her fingers in the dirt and launched off.

The men could only catch a glimpse of Miri. She latched onto the closest man and clawed into the man's face and jumped onto the other. She dropped him into the dirt and swung across once. She couldn't bring herself to gouge at the man's face a second time. She was stuck to watch paper fly back into her marks and fill it back in as if nothing happened.

"Run. You'll never stop us." The man warned to help Miri.

Sean stepped in behind Miri and grabbed hold of the second man's attack with a kunai.

"He's right. We can't control our actions." The other warned. "Press off and we can run away with Sean's body."

"That's my body your talking about." Sean pushed the man's hands up "Wind style; wind hand cannon!" Sean blew his jutsu straight through the man's chest.

He didn't react as Sean planned. He stood there and with his black eyes direct right at Sean. The hole Sean created didn't leak blood or leave gut stands. It filled back up with the paper and returned the hole to normal. "We told you. We can't be stopped. Not even killed."

"What the fuck are you?"

"Fire style; ash fog!" The man Sean attacked opened his mouth into a 'O' and spewed a thick layer of thick, gray smoke into the area.

"I can still see you!" Sean gripped on the man's throat, lifted him in the air and slammed him into the ground. "Where's my body?"

"I can't tell you."

The ground below Miri and Sean started to raise. They both jumped back and watched the two mysterious man get surrounded by a coffin and closed on. The two wood structures faded away right after.

"Sai, why didn't you attack them?" Sean asked.

"They didn't pose a threat to me. I had what I wanted and if they attacked they got what was coming."

"What do you have?"

Sai threw up his arm that carried a small green scroll. "I have your body."

"Well." Sean offered his hand. "Put your beasts away and give it back."

"With your body on me, then I can follow through with Lord Danzo's orders."

"Look man. You saw what I can do with the Rinnegan. Don't start with me.

"I can't let you risk the position."

"Follow me all you want. That is the one thing that makes me human again. I can't keep leaching off my sister."

"Sean." Miri whispered.

"Sai please, give me my second chance back."

"Sai! Miri!" All three of them looked over to the female voice that screamed at them. Ino stood a bit further down the trail into the village.

"We'll discuss this later." Sean mumbled to Sai. "What are you doing way out here Ino?"

"Sean?!" Ino was shocked and pointed at him with a unstable hand. "You don't have a mouth, or nose, or eyebrows"

"Yes I'm different now. But maybe soon I can return to how I was before."

Ino walked forward into the group as she talked. "Miri, I want to apologize for my actions earlier. It was uncalled for."

"It's alright, Ino. I don't blame you. Everything is just frustrating."

"What happened anyways? I heard a lot of yelling and fighting going on."

"Just a bit of a misunderstanding between me and Sai." Sean answered. "I thought he was stealing my scroll but turns out he just found it. I'll take it now." Sean offered his hand again.

Sai looked at Sean, then Ino, and Sean again. He reluctantly placed it in Sean's hand and leaned into his ear. "I will be on you." He whispered.

"Don't worry friend." Sean stretched out the scroll and planted it on the ground. "Release!" The scroll blew into smoke.

Sean's body rested on the writing with his eyes closed. Sean's wrist opened up for a black pole to slide out of. He pulled down the blue neck line and jammed the rod through the chest. Sean held up his fingers and closed his eyes. In a second Sean disappeared in the smoke and opened the eyes in his downed body. He was opened up to his regular eyes, a sign that Sean didn't wish to fight. He sat straight up and moved up to his feet.

"See? All normal again."

"Normal? What was that?" Ino still pointed at Sean.

"When I said maybe return to normal was more of sorta normal. I have full control of my body but I'm controlling it from a distance. My true self is in a summon world that can't be here without help from others chakra."

"Either way." Ino grabbed his hand. "Everyone's excited to see you two back."

"Everyone?" Miri asked.

"Yeah you know, Kiba, Lee, Sakura, we all want to see you return and get to know why everything went down."

"Why does everyone want to be our friends all of a sudden?" Sean asked.

"Because, you saved us even though we aren't part of your village. You're a Shinobi of the Leaf now, your our friends, our family. We need a distraction anyways for what happened."

Sean faced Miri. "So what do you say?"

Miri smiled larger than Sean has seen from her in ages. "Yeah, I'd like that."
