Uzumaki Tower.
Pain gathered the Akuzura members into a room to tell them about something important, he takes out a holographic machine, capable of showing images.
Pain speaks to everyone in the room, "Everyone, as you know Obito's plan is to engulf the world with genjutsu using the infinite Tsukuyomi."
Hidan interrupted, "Who could forget, we all remember how important you told us the missions were."
Deidara spoke after, "I doubt anyone could forget his plan."
Pain continued. "For that plan, he needs this." Pain brought up an image of a scroll, it spun around for everyone in the room to see, it had a Sharingan on the front and it was bound by a red and black string.
"This is the Red Moon Scroll, one of the necessary components to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"However, no one has detected where this scroll was for years, until." Pain changes the image to a picture of a burial ground inside a cave under the sands in the Land of Wind.
"This burial ground was uncovered recently and the red moon scroll was uncovered in the ditch dug, the land of wind is transferring the scroll from Suna to Konoha for scientific analysis. It is going by this train." Pain changes the image to show a large train.
"Recently a railroad was built on the boundaries between Suna and Konoha, this scroll will be transferred by this train along that railroad within the next 2 hours, our mission is to hijack the train and steal the scroll without being caught, in which will ruin Obito's plans."
"Okay, how the hell are we going to do that?" Hidan asks.
"Naruto, Sidra, Hinata, Deidara, Konan and myself will be going to hijack the train since we can all move at high speeds. Therefore we will be able to get on the train from the air, and then steal the scroll." Pain explains.
"Let's do this then." Deidara gets up from his seat and goes to get his gear.
"The rest of you are on standby, guard Uzushiogakure until our return, is that understood?"
Everyone in the room nods and goes to do their respective jobs.

Sunagakure Outskirts.
The train was already on the move to Konoha driving along the sandy desert at about 90 miles an hour.
Pain, Konan, Naruto, Hinata, Sidra and Deidara all stood looking at the train from a distance, they could see the train going down the desert.
"Go!" Pain yells as if they had just started a race.
Pain holds his palms directly parallel to the ground and catapults himself into the air using his repelling jutsu heading directly towards the train and closing in with each second.
Naruto held his arm in the air and his body becomes engulfed in a fiery tailed beast cloak with 8 chakra tails shaking all over the place. Naruto jumps into the sky and then takes off flying fast and forward following Pain with a large burst of energy. He left a stream of red energy following him, like a smoke stream from a plane.
Konan jumps into the air, her body became light and was taken apart and turned into paper. The individual papers went behind her and gathered around Konan's back forming 2 large angelic wings, Konan flaps them sending sand away from her on the ground and she takes off after Pain and Naruto.
Deidara had already chewed some clay by the time they arrived. In a large puff of smoke a large bird appeared beneath him and flapped its wings. The bird took off into the sky and went after the other 3 Akuzura.
Sidra's body became engulfed in bright flames, as the slight shape of a bird or more of a phoenix was pulled together and formed out of pure energy. This form was like a weaker form of her full Xachikyu it lacked the immense power and pressure, but it was enough to get her to fly at high speeds and keep up with the train. Sidra's Xachikyu takes off with only one flap of its wings blowing away some sand, and then soars after the others already in flight leaving a trail of light ashes following wherever it flew.
Hinata closed her eyes before taking off herself. She recalled Toneri's Chakra Tenseigan Mode. Chakra spiralled around Hinata like a twister gathering sand in the process. Hinata held her hands in the same sign that Byakugan activation used. She opened her eyes and her body and clothes became engulfed in bright lavender energy, it glowed like a neon moonlight. Hinata jumps into sky and flew after the others with the incredible speed the Tenseigan Chakra Mode provided, she could catch up to them in no time.
Naruto, Pain, Konan, Deidara, Sidra and Hinata all fly in their individual ways, the wind rushed by like they were in a raging river. They closed in on the train within only a few minutes. "Go." Pain states.
The train had no windows nor doors that were in the fraters, it was impossible to sneak in unless...
Hinata flies down to the train and her body turns darker into a shadow. "Ugh!" Hinata slams hard onto the roof of the train. "What?"
"What?" All the Akuzura couldn't comprehend how the Shadow jutsu didn't work against that roof of the train.
"Impossible, nothing can stop a shadow." Sidra mentions, she knew the boundaries of the shadow jutsu very well, and to her concern there were none.
"Oww." Hinata groans as she gets back up.
"Are you okay?" Naruto asks flying from above.
"Yeah." Hinata takes flight with the others in case someone heard her impact.
"Go to plan B." Pain states.
Naruto nods and then starts plan B.
Naruto flies down to the train and flies alongside to it parallel to the train along the side. Naruto holds puts his hand on his communicator and pushes to button to speak, "Hinata can you find the scroll?"
"Right." Hinata uses her enhanced vision to look through the several fraters attached to the train. "The second to last." Hinata says back through her communicator.
Naruto drops his speed, only a little so he can fly close to the second to last frater. "Here we go!" Naruto holds his hand out as if he was a fox wielding claws with blades for nails.
"AH!" Naruto slashes the side of the frater with his claw attack making the frater wall crack.
Pain flies down to the same angle Naruto had on the frater. "Universal Pull!" Pain holds out his palm out at the cracked wall and an invisible force makes the wall burst right out of the frater and tumble into the sandy desert. Naruto and Pain both flew up to avoid the wall that would drive them into the ground like a nail if they were hit. The frater wall was now wide open.
"Let's go." Hinata and Konan fly down and into the frater the scroll was inside a glass case. Hinata looks at Konan who gives a nod back. Hinata shatters the glass case with a single gentle fist attack, she took the scroll out of the glass before the she could get cut by the sharp fragments. "We're good." Hinata signals to Pain and Naruto.
"Oh no you don't!" Some Anbu black ops come out of the door that connected all the fraters together.
"Get them!" An Anbu swings a punch at Konan. Konan catches the punch instantly and wouldn't let go no matter how hard the Anbu forced his way. Konan dispels herself into paper making the Anbu fall forwards and then turn around to only see shreds of paper, Konan reforms outside of the frater with her angel wings keeping her up with the speed of the train. Hinata hits both Anbu in the face with her palms and they both fly into the walls unconscious by a single attack. Hinata jumps out of the frater with the scroll in hand flying using Tenseigan Chakra Mode. The 4 Akuzura fly up and away from the train about to leave when a fireball flies in aimed at Naruto.
"Woah!" Naruto avoided the fireball barely and looked down at the train, the source of the fireball stood in front of him, Sasuke was there with his Mangekyou activated and glaring as if he was a snake to a mere bunny rabbit.
"Hand over the scroll." Sasuke demands to the 6 Akuzura in the sky.
"Yeah right!" Naruto says back in sarcasm.
"Deidara take care of him." Pain orders.
Deidara smirks, he was happy to take care of another one with the Sharingan, of course he would have preferred Itachi, but this was just as good. Deidara's bird swoops down and drops Deidara off on the train in front of Sasuke who didn't seem concerned at all.
"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled.
Sakura bursts up from the third to last frater, with very carefully and precise calculation tackles Hinata out of the sky making her drop the Red Moon Scroll in the process. The Moon Scroll dropped down and would have drowned in sand, but another figure jumps over and grabs it before that occurred. Itachi stood next to Sasuke holding the scroll they came for.
"We've got it." Itachi says to his younger brother.
Sakura jumps down from Hinata letting her fall out of confusion from the sudden attack. Sidra flies over and grabs Hinata before she can crash land in the sands, in this desert the sands were awfully dangerous and deep, many sand dunes surrounded the desert, if one crash lands with this much speed into a sand dune there was no telling how deep that person could be buried. Sakura landed doing 3 somersaults and stands with Sasuke.
"Have you got her?" Naruto yells out.
"Yes." Sidra responds holding Hinata in her arms.
"Focus on them!" Sidra yells back.
"Right." Naruto, Pain and Konan all fly down and crash onto the roof of the train and were ready to face their opponents who stood on the opposite sides of the train which was moving at a 90 mile per hour speed. Even the slightest wrong move could send them all crashing into their sandy deaths.
Naruto runs at Sasuke full strength, Sasuke unsheathes his katana and runs at Naruto with the blade scratching the roof of the train sparks were carved with the force Sasuke used. Sasuke's katana collided with a kunai that Naruto pulled out, the force of each weapon was equally balanced, but neither of them refused to stop using more force. "Just let us have the scroll." Sasuke says in the midst of the clash. "No way!" Naruto yells back.
"Naruto..." Pain says to him. Naruto knew the plan, he jumps high above Sasuke and goes behind him. "Universal Pull!" Pain's repelling jutsu now is an attraction force pulling in Sasuke. "Ugh!" Sasuke tries his best to keep his feet gripped, but Pain pulled him in. Naruto landed on the other side of Sasuke and held out his palm. "Almighty Push!", "Almighty Push." Naruto and Pain unleash their repelling jutsu and make Sasuke collide in the middle of it. "AHHH!" Sasuke felt like he was having 2 walls crush him, the type of trap where one is stuck in a room that has the walls close in on them crushing them flat. Itachi comes up behind Naruto with a kunai in hand. However he is tackled out of thin air from Deidara. "You didn't think you'd be left out, right?", "We'll see."
Sakura run towards Naruto throws a punch at him with all the strength she could muster up. Her punch stopped at the last second and was repelled by Hinata who wouldn't let her go any closer. The gap between Sasuke and being squished was closing. "Ugh..." Purple energy from Sasuke's body pulses out forming a skeleton armor, and stopping each push, since the 2 powers were equal, an equal repelling force on each side results with no effect, Sasuke didn't take any damage as a result.
"Impudent brat..." Pain stops his attack and lets Sasuke get repelled right off the train by Naruto's attack. "Ugh!" Sasuke is blasted right off the train by Naruto's repelling jutsu. Sasuke thinks very fast and disarms his Susanoo, then he activates his curse mark form in order to fly and keep up with the train. "Naruto, you got this?" Pain asks. "Yeah." Naruto engulfs himself in a chakra 8-tailed cloak and then flies up to attack Sasuke, in the process he generates a Rasengan in his palm. Sasuke generates a chidori bolting with more electricity than the time they previously fought. The 2 collide in mid-air creating an explosion making the others shake trying to keep up on the train. "It's too dangerous to fight here." Pain states. Pain sees up ahead in about 5 minutes the train would come to a bridge. 'Only Sasuke can fly out of these 3.'
"Sidra, take out the bridge nearby here." Pain says on the communicator.
"Understood." Sidra flies up ahead towards the bridge.
Itachi looked as Sidra flew ahead. "Where's she going?", Deidara threw a bomb at Itachi who dodges. "Your opponent is me!" Itachi blasts a large fireball at Deidara. However Konan gets in the way with a paper shield to absorb the flames. "Ugh."
XXXXXX
Bridge.
Sidra's Xachikyu does a loop-de-loop gaining speed and power. "AH!" The Xachikyu cuts through the bridge like a butter knife. The bridge collapses in half, taking the rest of the bridge with it, leaving a large opening for anything going over it to fall into a deep canyon. Sidra nods and then she flies back to the train. "Bridge destroyed." Sidra tells Pain on the communicator. "Good."
"All members take flight." Pain says to all the members on the train.
Hinata takes flight, Sakura jumps up after her grabbing her leg to try and pull her down. "Hmm." Hinata flips and launches Sakura down at the desert, crashing would mean her death for sure. Sakura is barely saved by the skeleton arm of Itachi's susanoo. "I got you."
Pain, Konan and Deidara also take flight, Naruto and Hinata also were in the air as the train closed in on the destroyed bridge.
Naruto and Sasuke both turned to see the bridge in the land was destroyed. Naruto smirks at Sasuke, the grin made Sasuke sicker than any disease. "Why you!" Sasuke pushes Naruto to the side and flies down to the train with Itachi and Sakura.
"The bridge is out!" Sakura and Itachi both look to the front where they saw that the train would soon fall into the canyons. "AH!" Sakura steps back in shock. "Grr." Itachi stutters, but his emotionless attitude still stood calm.
"We need to get out of here." The moment that happened Itachi felt a tug on his hand. "Universal Pull." Pain's attracting jutsu made the scroll rip out of Itachi's hands and into Pain's in the air. "I got it."
"The scroll." Itachi unleashes a massive fireball jutsu at Pain, it was useless though the attack simply vanished, firing a fireball into the air at 90 miles per hour at a flying target was useless, it was almost impossible to aim attacks at that speed.
"Pathetic..."
"This ends now." Sasuke flies back up to try and attack Naruto.
"Almighty Push." Naruto's repelling jutsu sends Sasuke back towards the ground, and heading towards the deep sand. "SASUKE!" Sakura yells at Sasuke.
Sasuke becomes active enough to glide along the sand. "Fine then." Sasuke's body becomes engulfed in purple energy, bones cover all over Sasuke's bones and wings. The strings and veins all around the wings, gaining more energy. "Ugh..." Sasuke felt like all the cells in his body were in pain at the same time, the damage he took earlier made the pain worse then it would normally feel.
"Ha!" Sasuke's susanoo armor fused with his curse form making his susanoo have winged armor. "Here we go!" Sasuke's susanoo armored curse form he attacks Naruto with his archer bow, loaded up a massive blast unleashes a fire arrow right at Naruto. Naruto holds out his hand was if it was a fox's claw, an enormous claw comes out made of chakra and it cancels out the fire arrow slashing it in half, the arrow's 2 slashed pieces land in the sand with a huge explosion making sand fly all over the place.
Sasuke's susanoo sword swings at Naruto. Naruto flies down to dodge the sword, and does the same to dodge another sword attack. "Give it up Sasuke!" Naruto generates 2 giant claws alike to the actual nine tails they glowed with power and sharper than a sword. Sasuke's sword became engulfed with more chakra with the more rage and anger he gathers up on Naruto. "Even now you fight against me, we shall settle this, may it be today to some other day, but one day there will be only one of us left standing."
"Last time I checked you were the one who chose this path to abandon us in the first place, and then you tried to kill me that night!"
"Since you choose the same path, you're no better."
Sasuke's susanoo swings its sword into the sand with immense power and whips up a sandstorm with the immense speed he was traveling sand covered Naruto and Sasuke in a sandstorm so that neither side could see either of them. Pain, Konan, Hinata, Deidara and Sidra all few up in order to stay above the sandstorm. Itachi and Sakura stood right on the edge of the sandstorm.
Itachi looks behind him with a single look. 'Only 1 minute before we go over that valley.'
The train traveled along the railroad heading towards the valley quickly and almost to the canyon with the destroyed bridge.
'We're going to go over at this rate...'
The dust clears and Naruto and Sasuke are both okay, Naruto's claws kept Sasuke's sword from going any further down then it already was.
"Sasuke forget Naruto, we got the scroll let's go!" Sakura yells, only 30 seconds before they went over the canyon.
Sasuke retreats back and deactivates his susanoo curse form. Naruto jumps back. "I hope you like heights Sasuke."
The end of the rail was in sight.
Naruto jumps into the air and flies with the other 5 Akuzura, they all watched to see the train fall and kill their opponents.
The train got to the last minute of the rails, but it stopped. All 6 Akuzura stopped in mid flight to look at the cause of the train stopping, it wasn't an easy sight.
A blue hand on the front of the train kept it from going any further. Energy flowed around the body like a beacon. Madara's susanoo stood at the end of the tracks, and it had stopped the train, in one push no less. Madara pushes the train back to safety on the tracks. Then he proceeds to attack.
"Take this!" Madara's susanoo sword swings at Pain, it was quick and powerful, powered up by the Rinnegan. The susanoo sword sliced the scroll right out of Pain's hand and it landed in Madara's hand. "Be gone." Madara unleashes a massive storm of fire that completely engulfs the desert in a fiery explosion.
The 6 Akuzura all flung backwards in the explosion.
When the smoke and fire clears, Madara and the others were gone.
"Ugh.." The Akuzura members managed to stay in the air despite the attack, but they all sustained damage, also the Akatsuki got away with the scroll.

Akatsuki Base.
Obito greeted them as soon as the 4 came back from the mission, "Madara, you obtained the scroll, correct?"
"Yes", though Madara was a reincarnation his power was almost at the original point, a power only matched by the first hokage himself.
"Project infinite tsukuyomi grows..."
"All that is needed is the final tailed beast."
"I trust that you'll obtain it, Sasuke?"
Sasuke nods, "Yes, I will if it's the last thing I do."
