YuPoV

Damn it. This bijuu was strong, fast and smart. and it didn't even have a host. We have been fighting it for eight hours already, I ducked to avoid it's wing and heard Kisame using his sharks and Samehada to weaken the dragon, at least he tried to. Itachi was keeping the dragon calm with a genjutsu but it helped only a little so he wouldn't burn the whole forest down. Since it was using fire, I decided to use "Exploding water, colliding wave!" and my water dragon along with lightning-hound so I would fry him. Which didn't work. The dragon shrugged it off like it was nothing.

"Yuri, watch out!" Kisame called. I was hit with the dragon's tail. I slammed through several trees, before stopping and coughing up a little blood. The dragon had barely a scratch on its skin. Well if we can't defeat him from the outside then what about from the inside.

Checking my injuries, definitely a few crushed ribs and deep scratches, I used Tora to get on the dragons back. There I put a few Kunai in it's back and used Blitz, worst idea ever, to fry the insides using the kunai to lead the lightning inside the dragon. He roared and fell but he was smart enough to turn so I would be crushed when he fell. I tried to use chakra to enhance the height of my jump but using Blitz took too much chakra. I fell with the dragon and if it wasn't for Kisame and Itachi I would've been dead.

"Thanks." I coughed up some more blood. I started healing myself as soon as possible while Kisame kept the dragon incapacitated. Itachi took care of his wounds though he barely had any. Once I was done I helped him with what little chakra I had left. Checking his organs for internal bleeding, I found a weird virus which was slowly killing Itachi from the inside out. I was surprised to say the least. So my dream last night wasn't a dream. It was a vision in a dream. That must be why I can't see anything. I had become completely blind.

"Well, we can tell leader the good ending though I will have to be honest and tell him it was Yuri who defeated this one and not me who was actually assigned to do the four-tails. Yuri, how did you do it? Yuri?" He asked. I was still stunned about finding that Itachi wasn't just going blind but also that he was slowly dying. I shoved this discovery to the back of my mind and looked at Kisame.

"I fried the insides using my kunai and some lightning. That was all." I said while we travelled to the closest hideout which was a few days away. I just knew that my plan of assembling my own team to fight 'tobi' was failing. We found the hideout not long after. It took only three days. My injuries were healing well but I was exhausted. I couldn't help with the sealing this time. I slept through three days but the fourth day things went wrong. the dragon woke up. I went to attack but he had other plans. He took me in his claws and flew up. there he touched my forehead with one.

"You are from the Azura clan. I met one before. He helped me find my precious ones, which made me promise I would serve the chosen one when I met him again. You are a Tiger aren't you?" I nodded.

"Seal me inside you. So I can fulfil my vow and you can call me like the rest of your animals." He ordered and I did as he showed me. Once we were done I fell. I don't know who it was that caught me though. When I opened my eyes I looked into the blue eye of Deidara. At first he seemed worried but something must have changed because now he looked surprised. He put me down but I fell through my knees as the sudden extra chakra was too much for me to handle. Itachi, Kisame and Tobi came. Tobi tried to help me up but I avoided his hands calling shadow and leaving through the ground. I had to hurry back to Konoha or Suna which ever was closer.

After a journey of two weeks of travelling through the ground and barely avoiding Zetsu, I went up again. I was near the Hidden Sand Village. Only one day of travelling left. I hadn't seen Gaara or his siblings in a while. I got out of the ground and I think Gaara had the same power with the sand as Pein has with rain because I had been travelling for two hours and there was already a team of ANBU coming. Ah the drama that comes with the cloak and hat I am wearing. "Akatsuki, we have orders to capture you with all means necessary. Personally I would rather kill you for what you did to our lord Kazekage." I decided a little fun was needed here so I didn't say anything just dug with my hands in my pockets as if I was gathering clay. Acting as if I am Deidara was perhaps stupid but it surprised the ANBU enough to take a few steps back. "It's the bomber that killed lord Kazekage. his new partner is unknown. make sure to keep your eyes out." the ANBU who spoke to me warned his team. I was glad I had stolen some of Dei's clay, I hid a small exploding-tag in it and formed a snake. I threw it and did the all familiar handsign, "Katsu!" The exploding tag went off and I transported to a few miles closer to the village.

When I reached the village, my legs were buried in sand. "One move and you die."

"You know Kazekage that ANBU of yours is boring, they are too easy to fool. It's almost hilarious." I said altering my voice a little.

"Well, you are a coward not showing your face while insulting my village." He answered as emotionless as ever. I lifted my hand and took my hat off.

"Long time no see, Gaara." I said in greeting. He called his ninja's off and I was allowed inside the village. Once through the gate, he greeted me.

"You know you shouldn't scare my people like this. One day you will die because of it." He said with the smallest hint of humour in his voice.

"It keeps them sharp. Can we talk privately? I have so many important things to tell you." I said looking in the direction where his voice came from. He told me to follow him and we transported to the kage tower.

"Please take a seat, Yuri." He said. I walked to where Tora told me a chair was and I sat after feeling around how it stood. "Are you all right?" He asked me.

"yeah, I am fine. What I'm going to tell you isn't all something that the whole world should know otherwise I am dead as soon as I leave again." I said.

"Tell me." was his answer. I knew I could trust him to judge what is to stay between us.

"First of all, I have become blind due to a forbidden jutsu which I have no control over whatsoever. If my enemies know that I am screwed." I said

"Go on, I have gotten the message that Orochimaru is dead by the hands of Sasuke Uchiha." I began with all that happened after he left after my trial. It felt like I sat there for eternity and Gaara only asked the important questions. Once I was done it was half past twelve.

"So if I understand things right, half of the Akatsuki is dead or dying as we speak, you have become a jinchuriki of the four-tailed demon dragon, and Sasuke is now on his way to gather a team to go after his brother, who is dying anyway, and you are trying to assemble a team to kill a man with unknown power to prevent a war from happening?"

"Almost. I am not exactly a jinchuuriki, The four-tails became like my other animals. I am also no preventing a war from happening, I am simply trying to assemble a team to fight on the side of the hidden villages." I explained.

"I see, well then. I am sure you wish to rest for a bit before you are leaving for Konoha. You can stay as long as you like with us, but you will have to leave that cloak in your room."

"Fine. where are your brother and sister? I hadn't seen them at the gate."

"They are at the Academy."

"How is your student doing?" I asked curious about the one girl that chose Gaara as a teacher before he was liked by the village.

"She is my assistant now." He said.

"Good. I am leaving then, so you can get back to your paperwork." He groaned in annoyance. I left with Tora as my guide. My stay in Suna was uneventful until the sixth week in the morning, when I visited the academy along with Temari. I showed off my skills and I taught them about working with animals using Tora as my partner. It was then that a certain dragon-master decided that he should visit me. Ryutaro. Temari brought the kids back and she send a clone to tell Gaara, while I faced him

"I heard that you stole the four-tails. I have come to retrieve it per Leader's orders." He said.

"Well, I would say come and get it but we need to relocate." We went to a few miles outside the village. Ryuu-sama, can I borrow your chakra if I need it?

Of course, child.

While I was asking this Ryutaro attacked with a wave of weapons and then himself. I used chakra in my ears to enhance my hearing so I could find my opponent without seeing anything. I used body replacement technique to avoid the attacks and countered with a punch to his head. He dodged and grabbed my arm throwing me against the city wall. ouch. I created a kage bunshin or two and ordered Shadow to do his thing. Meaning making traps all over the field. Next I used the bunshin for distraction so I could gather some chakra, to call all my animals. I remembered about the dragons on his back so I sent Blitz along with "Water release: Exploding water colliding wave. hoping to stun him with the shocks Blitz would give him. It seemed to work but when I tried to knock him out, He kicked me in my stomach. This knocked some breath out of me. I got up with a little difficulty but recovered soon enough since there wasn't any important thing in my body that got damaged too much. Then the dreadful dragons appeared as I could tell by sound and smell. Ryuu-sama did a dive attack which distracted Ryutaro enough for me to throw in a good chakra-enhanced kick to his legs. It hit because he and his dragons were focusing on Ryuu-sama.

We went on like this for hours until I felt the kage bunshin that was with Sasuke, Suigetsu and a girl and another boy, disappeared. So he was going to fight Itachi soon, and Deidara is dead. He gets closer to fulfilling his goal. Wait.. Focus Yuri, you are fighting remember? I returned to reality flying in the air picked up by Ryuu-sama avoiding a water dragon. We dived and flew low while I prepared lightning hound. I jumped down and released the jutsu. That was the moment when the re-forces decided they could come in. a retarded chuunin decided to charge Ryutaro while he was preparing some jutsu, and mine was charging them as well. I rode on Blitz to get to the boy, but I was the one getting hit by my own jutsu. Fuck that hurts even worse than the hit with Ryuu-sama's wing. Ryutaro took this chance to try to kill us. He beheaded the chuunin, as Tora told me. "Dragons, time for lunch." He said. I couldn't move from the shocks coursing through my bodies. He came closer and I prepared for my death. At least Ryuu-sama would die as well making 'tobi's plans useless.

I heard a groan of pain and opened my eyes which I didn't know I had closed. I saw darkness then it was lighter. I checked for chakra-signatures and noticed that Ryutaro's was getting further away. He fled once again. Gaara's was in front of me and Temari's was going back to the village. I felt that the sand moved and I was lifted by it. That's how I was brought to hospital. I still could barely move. The doctors examined me and they said I just needed some rest. I would be able to leave again in the afternoon. I slept peacefully after being given some slight sedative to get rest more easily without disturbance. However when I woke up, I was almost kicked out since an emergency happened something with burned ANBU.

I left to the kage's mansion when I had the sudden urge to go to Konoha. I rushed to get my things and I said a quick goodbye to Gaara. It still took a full hour for me to get to the gate. I rode on Tora as fast as I could but it still took three days. The urge became worse during those days. Once we arrived Tora told me the village was in deep trouble. Akatsuki had come. I went through the destruction glad I had rested enough to fight when I felt pain but I wasn't hit.
That could mean only one thing. My chosen mate was hurt. I created clones and sent them through the village for a faster report on how things were.

It didn't look good the whole village was destroyed, Tsunade was knocked out cold, Kakashi was fighting pain and Shino was fighting Konan with his family. The other ninjas were fighting lower-rank Akatsuki-members. I decided that I could use my cursed seal causing me to have stripes like a tiger and I had eyes of a cat. I pumped some chakra in my eyes, and I could see shapes. nothing more.

I decided to check up on Shino first and then on the rest. Perhaps I should've taken my cloak and hat off, because when I arrived at the main shopping area, I was caught in a swarm of kikaichu. They didn't harm me after I fed them some chakra, but still. I sent Shadow out back to Suna to give Gaara the message that Konoha would need Suna's help in a short while. I blew the bugs away, but had to catch a fist immediately after. Then a kick which I countered with a kick myself, and then I got a kunai to my throat. I was forced against the wall during the kicking and the hitting. "Look down." I said having a kunai pointed to the stomach of my attacker, which was Shino. Konan had fled to god knows where. He looked down and saw the Kunai. I smiled happy to see him up and fighting with not too much damage to his body for as far as I could see. "I apologize for my appearance, but I simply had nothing else to keep me warm." I said refering to my cloak and hat. I moved one hand which made him stiffen ready to slit my throat. If that happened I don't know what would hurt more. "Relax, If I had wanted to kill you I would've done so in ten ways by now." I said lowering the kunai against my throat and taking off my hat. His eyebrows flew up into his hair. It got awkwardly quiet then. what would you say to your ex-boyfriend, who you haven't seen in a long while but still loved him dearly, and he thought you were the enemy so he attacked you.

"Well, now that I saw that you were fine I have to leave and check up on others." That's when I saw Pein floating in the air. What is he going to do? blow up the village? I and all my clones, did earth style wall, to make the wave of destruction slow down a bit. It barely worked. I didn't see it coming but the wave of destruction came. I was pulled away releasing the jutsu. "Why would you save me after all the things I did hurting you?" I asked him.
