Immediately, Yuki dashed forward from her hiding space, yanking her Anbu blade from it's sheath, and slashing widely, watching as she phased through. She smirked as his hand grasped the neck of her shirt, and yanked her towards him. A metal rod materialized out of his coat arm, aiming for Yuki's chest. She blocked the rod, with the flat of her blade, and spinning out of his grasp, releasing a kunai which missed him. She pursued Madara, as Akira grabbed at his ankle, a mere second after he phased the shuriken.

"It is futile. You are going to lose," Madara said, phasing both attacks at the same time. Yuki swung again, engaging the Uchiha in duel of swords. She felt something pull on her body, and jumped out of his reach, before he could absorb her into his eye. She landed on the wall, rebounding back towards him, forming a Raikiri within the millisecond it took her to land.

"LIGHTNING BLADE!"

"CHIDORI!"

Yuki's eyes shifted, to another blur of movement which thrust a lightning technique of his own at her. Yuki turned aiming her attack to counter his.

Static electricity filled the air as both techniques collided, each trying to destroy the other. Yuki pushed past Sasuke, smiling as he screamed in pain. Lightning Blade was called that for a reason. She had cut his jutsu in half, and almost hit a vital area, if he hadn't diverted the attack a millisecond before impact. She released her jutsu, and turned to face Madara, who appeared in front of her a second later. Her eyes widened, and she teleported away, barely making it to cover as thirty shuriken, impaled themselves where she would have been a second ago.

Yuki stood, and gathered her strength, forming five hand seals slowly.

Ox, Rooster, Tiger Dragon, Ram

"Katon: Jigoku no Jutsu! (Fire Release: Inferno Jutsu)"

White flames exploded from Yuki's lips searing everything in front of Yuki to ash. She focused the stream of the technique away from the Kage as to protect them, before releasing it after five seconds.

"HAAAAAH!"

Yuki raised her tanto in time, dropping to a knee as Sasuke drove his blade down at her. Yuki struggled against the weight of his attack, blocking his knee towards her face, and sweeping him off of his leg. She crossed her arms, sliding backwards from his airborn across the ground, where Akira stopped her. She flipped onto her feet, following the demon, her eyes catching sight of a blur of pink.

So they both deserted the village?

Yuki dashed forward faster, speeding past Sasuke, and aiming for Madara who faced her, hand held up.

"Come!"

Yuki formed ram as she closed the gap, sliding next to the elder Uchiha, who grabbed her throat in an effortless movement. Quickly, Yuki flipped out of his grasp, thrusting her tanto into his shoulder, which he phased through. She landed, sliding around behind him, slicing at his body.

"Not bad, for a brat. You repelled the genjutsu I attempted to place on you. But you left your guard open."

Yuki ducked as a Sasuke's blade swept at her head, smirking as another clone of herself appeared behind Sasuke.

"Not quite done!"

Yuki stood, and turned away from Madara, slamming a fist into Sasuke's gut, past his guard. She spun kicking him in the face, then spun again, kicking at his knee, sliding behind him, thrusting her sword backwards. She kicked him upwards, before appearing above him.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Grand Fireball Jutsu!)" Yuki released a steady stream of flames onto him, landing as Madara appeared behind her. Her eyes turned to behind her, and smirked as he grabbed at her. Akira was there to defend her, her hand attempting to touch him, phasing through his body.

Yuki spun around, slashing at Madara, only to be blocked by Sakura whose fist slammed against her tool.

This was a contingency that I had planned for.

Yuki and Akira threw themselves back into the fray, Yuki thrusting her sword straight at Madara, whose eyes held her own. As the blade passed his mask, a hand closed around Yuki's throat, crushing her windpipe.

NOT GOOD! DANGIT! I WAS TOO HASTY!

"YUKI CHAN!" Akira screamed, her head snapping back, only for Sakura to appear, with the demon's head in her hands.

Yuki kicked in the Uchiha's grasp, blood dripping from her mouth. She felt her strength fade as the hand squeezed around the soft flesh of her throat. She gasped for air, grabbing at Madara's arm to try and free herself.

"This is the end."

Yuki closed her eyes, the last of her will fading. This would be where she…

"SEAL!"

A huge cloud of smoke filled the room, and everything was concealed from view, and complaints filled the air. As the smoke vanished, only three shinobi remained, with Tobi on his knees, clutching his eye.

"Damn you, Hazukashii…" the man stated, his voice dripping with malice.

"What is going on, Lady Hokage? Explain the meaning of this!" the Raikage spoke, his voice incredulous.

All eyes turned to the Hokage, who smiled, and stated with confidence.

"It seems that you underestimated my bodyguards, Tobi."

Footsteps echoed off of wood, and the Kage turned, to face as two newcomers entered the room.

"Forgive the delay, Lady Hokage. I was a little too focused on my jutsu," Yuki said, standing behind the Hokage, with her mate, who was watching her with admiration.

I apologize again for my delay. I hope this abates any excitement you may have for the story. There is much I need to explain in the coming chapters, and I want to give my characters more time to bond, and more importantly, to add a couple more lemons to the story. So please be patient. I will try and do weekly uploads.

Sincerely

Yudashi
