NOTE: Hey here's the next chapter, tell me what you think. I need an opinion about what you think of Aliea and your plausible outcome of the fight between Sasuke and Naruto. It would help me determine major factors plotting in my mind at this moment. Hmmm and also I'm having some trouble trying to create the Naruto VS Sasuke fighting scene, so it may take longer than expected to write up the next chapter muchless coming up with an adequate fighting scene. Domen. --
Disclaimer: Yeah don't own anything to do with Naruto, save for Aliea, the plot line and other characters bound to pop up in the up-coming chapters.
.READ THE NOTE PLEASE BEFORE CONTINUING!
"Tsunade-sama!" Sakura threw a shuriken into the skull of a shadow nin attempting to kill her sensei. "Who are these people and why are they here?" She yelled over the nearly deafening noise taking out a few other enemy nin. Her long hair swayed as she ducked a rather tactless attempt of a five-person barrage before sending some kunai through each of their necks.
"Damn it, I absolutely hate blood!" Was Tsunade's grumbled reply before she threw another shadow nin through two buildings and an oak tree.
Sighing Sakura shook off her inquisitiveness and instead focused on the never-ending sea of ninjas.
Minutes later while using her peripheral vision, she could make out Sai standing on a tiled rooftop with his drawing book out as he conjured up his two favorite tigers from it. Sakura jumped into the air and somersaulted throwing a barrage of kunai before effortlessly landing on the rooftop.
"We need to get Kakashi and start evacuating the citizens!"
"Half of them are dead anyway" came Sai's unfeeling response.
"Well that means half of them are still alive and probably will get in your way. If we remove them now, then I'm sure you can go full out on the enemy without any hindrances." She fought the urge to pat herself on the back for her remarkable deduction and didn't hide her smile when Sai reluctantly nodded his head,
"And what about dead-last?"
Naruto, Sakura's heart fell for a moment as she recalled their kiss, "he's fighting Orochimaru's apprentice."
Sai gave a short nod before turning towards the trees, "are you coming ugly or are you going to stay up here away from the shadow nin?"
Sakura gave an indignant huff before jumping in after him.
Naruto…
Aleia awoke in the early hours of dawn, at first confused with the unfamiliar surroundings before her mind kicked in. Her father showing up, their confrontation and then… Aliea took in a deep breath trying to calm herself. There was no use in wasting energy on wasteful fuming.
Her sharp green eyes looked around for any possible item that could help her get out of the hell-hole but found nothing but the bundle of blankets and a chipped bowl full of water.
Hmm, it will have to do
Precariously she came to her feet, fighting the dizziness fogging over her head. She assumed the poison was meant to keep her comatose for awhile but thanks to Cheveyo-zev and the abilities, her body was able to rid itself of the horrible toxins in two-thirds less of that time.
She closed her eyes to focus on the outside world, her ears strained to listen beyond the thick stone walls that was her prison. The clanging of metal and shouts of various kenji and chalkra jitsus echoed her sensitive ears and for a moment her body tensed in doubting fear.
What if it doesn't happen? What if it falls apart? What if…everything father says is true? Am I destined to cause pain to others? Can I actually achieve what I set out for? And what of the others? How many have died so far due to my absence?
Her fists tightly clenched together, causing the color to slowly drain from the knuckles. Self-doubt slowly ate at her mind before the familiar calm, wisdom filled voice took preside over her mind.
'I see you doubt the path you have chosen little one. It is understandable when a strong figure of your past shows himself to you again, making you feel like you were when you last laid eyes upon him…but you must know you weren't that little naive girl so long ago. You are stronger in mind, body and spirit. We can finish this, your father and the pain.'
I don't know Cheveyo-zev…I am the child of darkness-
'yes, but not all darkness contains evil and not all light contains those that are pure. Your father along with many imprudent others assume you to fit the role of evil and conniving because of your title, and because of having me dwell within you.'
Last time I checked you and I fit that definition well. In fact our plan is primarily based on bringing pain to those who defied us.
That does not mean we are bad for letting others slaughter each other
No just careless and cold-hearted she retorted. Her voice became grave and calculating. Perhaps we could change the plan…
It's far too late to change it now that everything is almost complete.
My chalkra is running thin as it is. She pointed out, if the plan continues as is, I will not have enough energy to walk much less fight.
You will have enough
Aliea fought back a shiver as she felt his merciless smirk form and if she closed her eyes she could almost see his sharp canines barred and unwavering silver gaze looking straight upon her. A foul taste came to her mouth; it was coppery almost like…
"NO!" She shouted as she grabbed her head as if in pain. "You will NOT take over my body, I have commanding power over you!"
In due time mistress of the night…in due time you will have to summon me and only then will it be the true testament as to who has power over whom.

WHAT THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING WITH MY SAKURA! Sasuke fumed and tightly clenched his fists at his sides watching Sakura disappear before his eyes. NO ONE IS TO HOLD HER HEART OTHER THAN ME! NARUTO WILL PAY DEARLY FOR HIS MISTAKE! THEN AFTER I'M THROUGH WITH HIM, SAKURA WILL COME BACK WITH ME AND BE MINE!
"What's wrong Sasuke?" Naruto gave a wicked grin baring his sharp canines, "finally realized that you could've had what I now have, and you currently possess green eye?" He took a fighting stance, planting his feet shoulder-width apart with his left hand in front, while the other was poised like a scorpion's stinger. "Sakura is her own person, a human being not to be claimed or possessed like some stupid china doll. I love her, but I will not fight you merely on the basis to claim her as mine or her as yours; she can fight for that herself, I on the other hand, will fight you for the pain and self-centered bull crap you put everyone through. For Konoha, for Sakura and for me, it will do nothing less than honor to pound your face into the soiled ground you trod on."
"Is that so Naruto?" Sasuke's voice spoke amusement while his eyes showed nothing but loathing distaste, "you forget of our last encounter."
"I was holding back then Sasuke, a mistake I will not repeat a second time."
"We'll see about that."
Lightning cracked overhead and was soon followed by its sibling, thunder. Naruto and Sasuke both took it as their signal to start their fight and equally disappeared before reappearing ten feet to the north next to one another each meeting their fists with their opponents in a resounding crack that shook the ground below them.
The fight for Sakura Haruno has finallycommenced…or has it?
So the fight has started and mostly every main character is in motion for their valuable parts in this 'war' if you would like to call it that. The question now remains, what the hell is going on? And I could only answer it as such: All in due time… R&R
