While travelling to where master wanted me, I thought up several things he could want. I hoped he didn't want me to fight along with any of the Akatsuki. Especially father. I hope that if I have to go with someone that it will be Pein or Itachi, if anyone would be strong enough to break the jutsu Kabuto is using on the dead, it would be either of them and I would be more than glad to lead them to wherever he is. When I arrived several coffins came out of the ground and as I greeted master I was doing so in front of them.

"pet, finally. You are late." he said as I came out of the tree line. The Akatsuki members that had been taken from their graves had walked their first few steps. I walked until I was in front of master while Kabuto woke them up. As they opened their eyes I knelled down on my knees in submission awaiting my punishment.

"I apologize, master Uchiha." was all I could say before he beat me up a little. Deidara was the first to tell me to fight back, the second one was father. A white haired guy explained to them that I couldn't as I was being punished. That I still was Uchiha's slave. I felt humiliated that they had to see me like this. I didn't recognize him but he smelled like Pein did so maybe this was the original body, Nagato. Naruto had told me about him after he had defeated Pein.

"You're going to escort Deidara, Shin and Sasori, so they can get rid of the recon squad from the allied forces. After that you are to catch up with Itachi, Kakuzu and Nagato and assist them." Madara said. I bowed and turned to leave again. I was glad I ate before I arrived so I could heal while riding Tora. The three men I had to escort were following me without a word until we were out of hearing range. Then I was stopped by chakra lines and pulled back. I was caught in a pair of arms that didn't feel like my father's.

"Yuri..."He said. I turned my head so I could see him. His eyes were the eyes of the undead. This was not my father. Even his scent was different. The only things that were the same were his looks and his voice. I freed myself from his embrace and wanted to move on but Deidara asked me something.

"Can you tell us what is going on?"

"Fine, here's the deal. The one calling himself Madara, wants the three remaining bijuu for some jutsu on the moon to rule the world by illusion. He has some kind of alliance with Kabuto who has perfected the jutsu to bring back dead people. Kabuto uses this for great shinobi like yourself to fight in 'Madara's' army. The five great nations have formed an alliance to protect the eight-tailed and nine-tailed bijuus from being caught. Their identities are Naruto Uzumaki and Killer Bee. Kisame was after them but he failed. He killed himself when he did."

"What about the third Jinchuriki? Who's that?"

"You're looking at her. The third bijuu left is the four-tailed dragon. Ryuu. Remember him?" I asked the two akatsuki members. They nodded and we moved on to the place where I had to get them. I had sent Jaws, with the message that we were coming, to Kankuro who was in charge of the recon squad. Deidara and Sasori knew what I was doing and didn't care that I didn't listen to the master.

"You are fighting him, aren't you?" Dei asked.

"Yes, I will do anything that will keep my mate safe."

"Your mate? Like I was your mother's?" Father asked.

"Yes, I have found him and he has accepted me as his." I said as blank as I could.

"Is he good to you?"

"Yes. He is very good to me."

"Who is it?" Father demanded to know.

"The Aburame heir." I said.

"Isn't that the bug clan? The one that wears sunglasses even inside a building?" Deidara asked remembering from the Chuunin exams.

"Yes." I said.

"Never thought you would've found him while you're still so young though your mother was the same age as you are now when we met."

"I have always felt that he was something to me however it's just since a few months before you killed the current Kazekage that I found out what that something was. We've had our troubles already, but I love him with all my heart, and I feel very lucky that he loves me too."

"Good, if he is really like that then I am happy for you. At least it isn't someone like Itachi."

"Yeah, about that, what was it that had you all friendly with the Uchiha?" Deidara asked.

"Because of who he is, not as a shinobi, but as a person. Do either of you know the truth behind the Uchiha Massacre and the reason it took place?"

"No."

"Well I do. It's one of the reasons I sort of admire Itachi's strength."

"Can you tell us?" Deidara asked curiously.

"No, there are ears all around us. I do not trust that there aren't certain snakes keeping an eye on you." I told them. They stiffened glancing around. "Anyway,we should move it. The faster I get you to your destination, the faster I can get to finish my job and hopefully return to my mate's side." I said. They agreed we should move faster so we did as we said. We were trapped when the two clashed. I had a big feeling of dread and loss.

Both sides fought and at some point, Kankuro used the father and mother puppets from Sasori. He captured both Deidara and Sasori since Shin had moved on. Father figured out the meaning of art being eternal. That was the feeling of loss. Father was moving on as well. "Farewell Father. I will miss you. I love you." I finally got to say a proper goodbye.

"Goodbye Yuri. Your mother and I will always watch over you. I am proud of you, my child." He said and then he was gone. My heart broke and yet felt light. I decided to move on to the next part of Master's orders to keep from breaking down.
