Note: If you are not caught up on Naruto then there are spoilers in here. I try my best to stay away from spoilers but it couldn't be helped this time.

Asuka landed with Lee in front of Kakashi and Guy Sensei.

"Guy Sensei, don't tell me you used Hirudora?!"

Asuka wasn't sure what that was but it obviously caused some concern for Lee.

"Lee." Guy simply replied.

"How are you doing Kakashi Sensei?" Asuka asked.

"I'm alright."

Sai then landed next to Kakashi. "Sorry we're late Captain Kakashi." he apologized.

Sakura went right to work restoring Kakashi and Guy Sensei.

The rest of the units arrived and a medical ninja went to work healing Asuka. Asuka didn't think she needed it but once the medic went to work she felt much better.

Asuka felt someone land behind her. She turned to see that it was Neji and gave him a relieved smile. He did the same. Not long after that her father showed up as well and she greeted him with the same smile.

The mist that had been hiding them suddenly disappeared and Asuka saw the evil creature they were to face. 'Wow that thing is ugly.'

Asuka stood and listened as they bantered back and forth. She stayed with Naruto as the groups each executed their part of the plan perfectly. Naruto prepared a Rasen Shuriken and Asuka listened intently to the orders. Then all at once, everyone lept into action. Asuka sent down her Hailing Kunai as was in mid air but before it had a chance to do it's damage everyone was shot back up by the Ten Tails breaking free. Asuka heard disbelief from a shinobi a little ways away. The Ten Tails lifted itself out of the pit that it had been in and Asuka saw that it had changed it's form.

Asuka picked herself up and dusted herself off then stood waiting for orders.

The Ten Tails then opened its mouth and collected a mass amount of chakra into a ball with a point on one end. Kakashi, thankfully was quick enough to find a way to send it somewhere else. The distance it traveled however, was concerning.

It quickly fired two more; one landed in the ocean and the other, Asuka heard, hit a far off city. It geared up for a third shot and fired it.

"That's the direction of..." Neji didn't finish his sentence and he didn't need to. Asuka knew her geography well enough to know it was headed for HQ. Before HQ was destroyed they managed to get a plan out to everyone. Asuka immediately went to Naruto and met her father and Neji there as well.

"Wait... what just happened?" Naruto asked stunned.

"You are the key to our plan." Neji answered matter of factly.

"Not about that!" Naruto shouted. "I'm asking what happened to Shikaku and Inoichi?!"

The three of them just looked at Naruto not sure how to answer.

Suddenly, one of the tails from the beast came swinging at them.

Neji and Hiashi lept into action preforming their Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation and knocked the tail back.

"A-amazing." Naruto stuttered.

"Come one Naruto! We can't waist time standing around." Asuka said bringing him back to reality.

"This is a battlefield and we're at war. People will die." Hiashi added.

"He's right. If we're defeated and lose... then everyone will die." Masato confirmed.

"Of coarse I know that." Naruto responded.

"Shikamaru and Ino's father would likely say, that as shinobi, they're glad to have died before their children. Just as my father did." Neji said.

There was a silence as Naruto took in what was just said.

"Naruto, your power is the most critical part to the plan. So until we can execute it..." Masato said.

"We must protect you, Naruto." Asuka, Neji and Hinata all said together as Hinata arrived. Asuka stood between Neji and Hinata.

"Hinata!" Naruto simply said.

"Know this! The Hyuga are the mightiest among the Hidden Leaf!" Hiashi said.

Suddenly, all ten tails flared up and sent giant wood thorns shooting down at the Allied Force.

Asuka created a small ice wall for her, Masato and Naruto to hide behind. Neji did his rotation but it wasn't quite fast enough and his headband got knocked off revealing his curse mark.

"Thanks you two! I can activate Sage Mode now!" Naruto said after throwing one of his Rasen Shurikens. "I can't keep relying on you geniuses! Now it's my turn!"

Neji, Asuka, and Masato all smiled as Naruto and his clones rushed forward and shot several Rasen Shurikens at the tails of the beast. Once his clones disappeared he fell to one knee from exhaustion.

Hinata destroyed a thorn that was headed for Naruto as Asuka and Masato ran up to help.

A tail came sweeping towards them but Hiashi pushed it back with an Air Wall Palm. The same tail however lifted into the air and shot several thorns from one of its 'finger tips' focused directly at Naruto.

Hinata stepped in between Naruto and the thorns. Asuka created an ice dome around her and Naruto placing herself between the ice and Naruto in case any came through.

Masato's P.O.V

Masato saw Asuka and Hinata put themselves between the thorns and Naruto. Then he saw Neji leap into the air. Masato knew what he was going to do so the instant Neji was close, Masato teleported himself between Neji and the thorns pushing Neji out of harms way and Masato took the hit. It felt like fire was running through his body as he fell to the ground.

Asuka's P.O.V.

Asuka watched as Neji threw himself in front of the thorns, but in a split second her father appeared behind Neji and pushed him out of harms way. Neji took the fall hard but was still able to stand. Asuka watched as her impaled father fell to the ground.

Another shinobi used an earth style jutsu to pin the Ten Tails.

Asuka released her ice dome and she, Neji, and Hinata gathered around Masato as Naruto caught him. Naruto lowered him to the ground slowly so that everyone could see his face.

"Medical Team! Where are you?! There's a critical injury here! Hurry!" Naruto called out.

Asuka had tears streaming down her face.

"No... I am willing..."

"Masato." Naruto said.

"Dad." Asuka wept.

"Why did you do that? I was fully prepared to give my life." Neji asked with a shaky voice.

"because... Neji... you made my daughter... a promise..." Masato coughed up some blood.

"Why would you give up your life for me, Masato?"

"I have always seen you as family, Naruto... and I would do anything to protect my family... You my boy hold more lives in your hands than you realize..." he looked at Neji and Asuka who were side by side. "Neji... I am glad that it will be you to care for my daughter... I couldn't have asked for anyone better."

"Dad, I just got you back..." Asuka cried.

"I will always be with you, Asuka... and I will watch when you walk down the isle to marry Neji... even if it's only in spirit."

Asuka watched as the life left her father's eyes. Neji reached and closed Masato's eyes.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let your friends die...? Naruto!" called Obito.

Asuka did her best to calm herself so she could see clearly. 'I have to mourn him later! Right now I have to focus again on helping Naruto and making sure my father's sacrifice wasn't in vain!'

"Those words... 'I'll never let my comrades die.' Now look around you... and say it again!" Obito shouted.

Asuka watched as Naruto looked around trembling.

"I told you to say it again!" Obito commanded. " As the bodies of your comrades grows cold in your arms... take in their deaths!"

Asuka heard whispers and mumblings about how the shinobi who was best friends with Lord Fourth and student to Master Jiraiya was dead. She had no idea her father had such a reputation. 'I guess with all his traveling he must have made many friends.'

"This will continue... And your flippant words and ideology shall become lies. This is the end result of hope and ideals. This is reality! Naruto... what is there for you in this reality? Your mother and father are gone, as well as your master, Jiraiya. And if you keep standing against us, you'll continue to lose your friends one by one. This shall become a world where no one who acknowledges you will exist. The only thing that awaits you... is your worst nightmare, which you know quite well! ... Solitude!"

Asuka watched as Naruto struggled with his emotions. 'I don't know what I can do. I'm a mess myself. This Obito's thinking is twisted. Please Naruto! You're the only one who can save the world!'

"Why must you cling to reality? Enough of this... Now come join us, Naruto!" Obito continued.

Yeah right! Naruto would never join with you! You bastard!'

Asuka heard Hinata give Naruto a gentle slap on the cheek. She watched intensely to see what Hinata was going to do.

"Masato just said, 'you hold more lives in your hands than you realize'. Do you know what he meant?" Hinata asked. " 'I will never let my comrades die.' Neither those words nor the convictions behind them are lies! Because he was able to successfully store them in his heart, and live them out till the end! Masato did!"

"As do I." Neji said.

"Me too." Asuka added feeling motivated by Hinata's words.

"It's not just you, Naruto... We all hold those words and feelings in out hearts. They're what bind our lives together... and make us comrades. If we all give up and discard those words and feelings, Masato's final act would have been for nothing. And that is when... your comrades truly die! For you are then no longer comrades. That's... how I feel. ... So, stand with me, Naruto. Because never going back on one's word... is my Ninja Way too!" Hinata comforted.

Naruto looked at Masato's body. Asuka watched as Naruto took in everything Hinata was saying.

"Enough!" shouted Obito.

The Ten Tails wrapped all of it's tails around itself and as preparing another beast bomb. Bee managed to show up just in time and do some serious damage to the Ten Tails, but he also was injured.

Naruto put his hand on Hinata's, grabbed it gently and stood up. Neji followed suit by gently grabbing hold of Asuka's hand and standing up.

"Thanks, Hinata! It's all thanks to you standing by my side. And Masato... thank you." Naruto said confidently. Naruto flared into Nine Tales mode and Hinata flared up with some of Naruto's chakra. "Let's do this, Hinata!"

"Yeah!"

Time Skip

Asuka and Neji were lined up with everyone else and, glowing with Nine Tails' chakra that had been given to them, they pulled with all their might to get the tailed beasts free. Asuka poured everything she had into pulling until finally there was a release of tension and everyone fell back. Everyone shouted for joy because the tailed beasts were now free. Asuka watched as Obito fell to the ground. Someone had pointed out that he was still alive. They started to get riled up and were about to charge when Lady Tsunade stopped them.

All they were able to do at this point was watch. Neji slipped his hand into Asuka's and gave it a reassuring squeeze. After a few moment Naruto led the Allied Forces to where Madara was so that they could work on sealing him away. When they arrived, Madara had already sent several shinobi flying. Everyone else paused unsure of what to do. Someone shouted to move away. Asuka believed it to be sound advise so she and Neji backed away to a safe distance. They watched as Gaara and the freed tailed beasts tossed Madara around like a volley ball.

Asuka watched in amazement as a giant mausoleum rose and sealed Madara. Or so they thought. A blue flash of light came out from the tower and a blue giant emerged. Thankfully Naruto and Bee arrived just in time. Then all the tailed beasts slammed at least one of their tails down on Madara all in unison. Madara still emerged but missing an arm.

'Good you guys are giving him a good beating. Now finish him off!'

Asuka's jaw dropped when she saw Madara chop off the arm of the white Zetsu that appeared and quickly attached it to his own, thus replacing the one he had lost. He then did something but Asuka couldn't quite tell what and then let out a loud meniacale laugh. Asuka watched as he cast a summoning jutsu which summoned the Gedo statue from earlier. Madara lept and landed on top of the statues head.

Suddenly, all of the tailed beasts got knocked back. The Gedo statue then opened its mouth and shot chains out that wrapped around the necks of each beast. Asuka felt helpless as she watched from the sidelines what was happening to the tailed beasts. One by one the tailed beasts got pulled into the Gedo statue.

"Naruto!" Asuka screamed as she watched Naruto fall to the ground.

Thankfully, Gaara caught him and headed off somewhere with him. Asuka assumed he had a plan. When Asuka turned her attention to Madara, she saw Lord Second fighting with him, however it ended with Tobirama with several polls in his back. Moments later Sasuke dropped from above to try and attack Madara, but something caused him to freeze while still in mid air. Madara grabbed Sasuke's sword that had fallen and ran it through Sasuke.

'Sasuke! Not you too!'

Time Skip

Asuka and Neji watched as the blood red moon changed. Asuka had a bad feeling about this. The ground shook as pieces of the meteorites that Naruto and Sasuke destroyed fell to the ground. Suddenly, the moon became brighter than the sun and Asuka became unable to move. 'I can't move this must be Madara's jutsu.' Asuka felt something tight wrap around her then everything went black.
