When I was able to travel, Kisame had gone on the mission alone because I took too long to heal. Madara, Zetsu, Sasuke and his team and I were travelling to the land of Iron where the Kage summit took place. Madara always used me as a practice dummy as my punishment, and each time Karin would heal me along with Ryuu-sama's chakra. each day this repeated until we arrived. I would be joining the summit as representative for the hidden rain village as we would lay precisely in the middle of the countries I was ordered to get them to work along with Madara, but I had planned on offering them the alliance of Amegakure since I had taken Pein's position of that village over with quite a lot of persuasion. I planned to make it a town with wealth.

What Madara luckily didn't know was that I had been sending messages to Gaara about what would happen at the summit so they were prepared. I had also been sending messages to Shino but that was about making preparations for the war that was sure to come and about what was going on so far. Danzo had gone to the summit so it was safe. He told me that the konoha eleven had begun preparations and Tsunade had still not woken up.

The travels were boring because it was after two weeks, we arrived. Madara told us to go to our places and I was told to just enter with the forged letter that said I was sent here.

With a little luck and a disguise I could persuade the guard to let me in and I was taken to the meeting room. I did make a big mistake. I forgot to take my Akatsuki cloak off. again. "Akatsuki Scum! How dare you walk in here like you belong?"

"Because I do. I have come with important intel on the asshole behind Akatsuki. Also I have come with a proposition. I am not here as an enemy, I just keep forgetting taking my cloak off. Hello Danzo, how is your behind? I hope you'll enjoy the meeting since it will be your last."

"Why should we believe you? Who are you anyway?" The tsuchikage said. I smiled since he asked a good question. I raised my hand and suddenly ten people stood in front of their kage.

"Calm down." I took my hat off. "I greet the 4 kage of the great nations. My name is Azura Yuri. I would greet Danzo as well but I don't like you." I said turning to the old creep.

"Gentlemen, milady, I came to tell you that the one behind Akatsuki calls himself Uchiha Madara. He only needs three more bijuu; the four-tailed dragon Ryuu, that's me, the eight-tailed octopus-ox, from Bee-san and the nine-tailed fox that is in my friend Uzumaki Naruto. He wants the nations to give their bijuu up or else he will declare war." I explained.

"What proof do you have that he has these plans?" Lady Mizukage asked. I showed them all a scroll that held the plans Madara had. At least, what I figured out so far.

"because I am part of these plans, I was able to find out a bit of the details. He wants to put the whole world under some kind of jutsu to stop the fighting, but it also takes people's freedom from them. It is his way of stopping the fighting between the nations. To gain peace." I explained.

"This does look quite reliable. Why are you doing this for us while you are part of that group?" Raikage asked.

"Because I chose for friends instead of family. My family died in one single day because of the Akatsuki. At first I didn't see that but things changed and I lost so many people I care about when I did follow Pein, the fake-leader, that I chose to do the opposite, and I don't agree with what Madara wants."

"Who is your family?"

"I am Azura Yuri, last living member of my clan, only child of Azura Neith and Akasuna no Sasori and current intel seeker having taken over Master Jiraiya's job. I used to belong with Konoha but I do not feel an ounce of loyalty towards our current Hokage." I introduced myself properly. They talked more about what to do against Uchiha Sasuke and Madara.

The Raikage and the tsuchikage fought over the fact that if we would work together then who should lead when the ground rumbled. Zetsu was coming which meant that Sasuke was coming. which meant we didn't have much time. "I'll be back soon." I poofed away hearing Zetsu's greeting.

"HAAAALLLOOOO." He called. I stayed just outside the room, listening to Zetsu talking about Sasuke being here. Then four Kage fought Sasuke but he held his ground going after Danzo.

I decided to let them be and leave seeing that this was my chance to escape. However, Madara after he did his speech about his plans, somehow knew I was leaving. He beat me until I was near death Then he let me go. I did feel the bond we have as master - slave, tighten. I knew that if he gave me an order now I wouldn't be able to fight it.

I fled on Tora's back to a cave not caring that I was leaving a trail of blood. In the cave, Shadow gathered wood which Ryu-sama burned so I had a fire to keep me warm in this cold land. Next I started to take care of my wounds healing some with my chakra and burning others closed so they wouldn't get infected. Tora kept me warm as well. I was exhausted and almost fainted. I wouldn't make it to the next day on my own. I felt sad that I wouldn't see Shino again and that I would be breaking the promise I made to him again. Goodbye Shino, I'm sorry, You gave me your heart and I break it again. I touched my chest where my heart was beating. Then I felt a small vial. I remembered when I got it.

Flashback

I was going home with Kakakshi, Kotetsu and Izumo from a mission that had taken us to Suna. I was saying goodbye to Gaara.

He took a vial out of his pocket and filled it halfway with his sand.

"If you ever need me just release the sand. I will come to you." He put it around my neck.

End Flashback

With shaking hands, I tried to open the vial but my hands were too unstable. Shadow broke it for me. I mixed a bit of my left over chakra with the sand and it just blew away with the wind. Then I coughed once and fainted.

NoPoV

Gaara Kankuro and Temari were walking home after Sasuke escaped and Danzo had disappeared as well. They had met Naruto and were now on their way to Suna. While travelling through the snow, Gaara was the first to sense something coming their way. The three took defensive stances, until they saw what it exactly was that was approaching them. It was sand. Gaara opened his gourd and the sand went inside mixing with his own, which caused the young Kazekage to realize what was going on. "It's Yuri. She is in trouble."

"Are you sure? How do you know that?" Kankuro asked.

"I gave her a bit of sand many years ago, that time I went with her to the borders. I promised her that if she released it that I would come and help her." Gaara explained a bit worried for his friend. Walking in the direction the sand came from, they noticed a trail of blood. Temari went back to Naruto to get Sakura, and the boys went to look for Yuri. They met shadow and he led them to a cave. There they were met with a bloodied sight. Yuri lay bleeding with Tora and her dragon. A fire was burning to keep her warm. Kankuro did some basic jutsu to stop the bleeding.

After half an hour, Temari found them with Sakura in tow. She gasped at the sight but quickly got to work. "The others are following as well." She said. "Yuri has three broken ribs, two sprained, her arms are crushed, her skull is cracked, her legs are broken and last but not least she has internal bleeding."

"Will she make it?" Gaara asked.

"Yes but she can't be moved until the internal bleeding and the crack in her skull is fixed." Sakura answered.

"I see, will you be okay when Naruto and the others arrive?"

"Yes we should be fine. Thank you for helping so far, Kazekage-sama." the medic answered professionally. "I just hope that she will be healed before Shino hears about it. He will be angry that she has gotten hurt again, risking her life unnecessarily." Sakura said.

"Should I inform Konoha of this?"

"You don't have to."

"I insist to at least do something." Gaara answered feeling somewhat useless in helping his friend. Yuri has done quite a bit for him personally and for Suna, not expecting anything back, and now that she needed him, he couldn't do anything. Gaara decided to send a message with a clone not willing to risk that Yuri's badger would be found by that black and white guy. Summoning a clone he told him. "Go to Konoha to find Aburame Shino, tell him that Yuri is injured and that she will be coming home safely." The clone nodded and hurried to Konoha.

"Kazekage, I have some more bad news, The crack in her skull caused some brain damage, and I'm not sure how that will affect her being a ninja." Sakura said.

"That's bad, Yuri is a great ninja, she will be missed in the upcoming war."

"War?"

"Yes, Akatsuki has declared us war. The five great nations and the other smaller ones that stand at our side will fight them and their allies." Gaara told her.

"That must have been what she wanted to keep from Danzo. She probably had a vision of the war."

"I understand. We will see what happens." Gaara said, hoping that Yuri still had the intel she had from her visions. Soon Naruto arrived followed by the rest. Gaara and his siblings left for Suna when he felt his clone being destroyed. Shino didn't take the news too well but he appreciated that he was informed before Yuri arrived.

Sakura healed Yuri for as far as she could while telling the others what she was worried about. Naruto wanted to kill the people responsible for the injuries, Kakashi kind of agreeing but he kept calm. "Naruto you can't do that, If that person could defeat Yuri, a jinchuuriki who has her bijuu in control, imagine what will happen if you go after him."

"Fine, then I want to learn to control nine-tails first." The blonde answered. Kakashi and Yamato sighed in relief. After four more hours, Yuri was healed enough to be moved. It was decided that Sai would go with Yamato ahead to take Yuri to the hospital. The animals being ordered by Tora disappeared and team Kakashi left.

After a week of travelling, the ex-root-memer and the Anbu-member, arrived with the injured Azura heiress. They took her to the hospital where Shizune was waiting with Shino. Yamato relayed what Sakura had told them and Shizune ordered the nurses to prepare for a brain scan. Shino was just glad to know that his girlfriend would survive.
