HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY!

Yukan saw everything.

He saw every minute, every memory, every single moment.

He saw an older man that resembled the Konoha ninja.

"Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo!"

He heard a giggle, and looked down to see a chubby baby smiling at the older man.

He saw a motherly woman scolding a boy version of the baby.

"Shikamaru! Stop lazing around and START STUDYING!"

"But Mom..."

So the boy's name was Shikamaru.

He saw the inside of a barbecue restaurant. Sitting beside Shikamaru was a plump boy. Sitting across them was a blonde-haired girl and a man who they called their sensei.

"Congratulations on becoming genin!"

He saw a stadium filled with people, who were gazing down upon the arena below.

Yukan saw Shikamaru facing off a girl whose headband was affiliated with Sunagakure. The girl raised her weapon, a giant iron fan.

"Kamaitachi no Jutsu!"

Yukan saw a gigantic sprawling forest.

He saw Shikamaru and the Suna girl standing on a branch. A red-haired woman was leaping away from them.

He saw the Suna girl raise her fan once again, and then the forest was gone.

"See? It's all over!"

Yukan saw a man lying down on the ground, blood streaming from his mouth. And yet, the man smoked a cigar.

On closer inspection, it was the man Shikamaru called his sensei.

Shikamaru's sensei whispered his last words to his team.

The cigar fell.

Then several brief bursts of–

Noise.

Fire.

Dying.

Death.

Bodies.

Pain.

Chaos.

Then Yukan saw the great monster itself, the Ten-Tails.

This man must have fought for the Allied Shinobi Forces in the Fourth Great Shinobi War.

This man must have fought for peace.

Then Yukan realized.

Big Brother WAS wrong.

This man was dying because Big Brother had poisoned him.

This man, this man from Konoha who had risked his life for peace, was dying. Because of his big brother, who had told him a lie.

This man did not deserve to die.

Yukan had to save him.

Kikai Heights, 18 Hours After Bandit Raid

A scout scurried toward the front of the group.

"Leader."

"Yes?"

"We're being followed."

"I know that. It's a woman. Her chakra nature is wind, and she wields an iron fan. She is from Suna, and her name is Temari."

"How did you—"

The leader held out a dead bird, a falcon by the looks of it. A kunai had been thrust into its heart.

"Caught this bird for lunch. Lucky me, it carried a secret message to Konoha."

I don't know if this chapter makes sense or not.
