We all stepped out onto the balcony, before us stood, thousands of Shinobi from all five Great nation's. To say I was stunned at the amazing sight before me would be an understatement.

Their cheers were over lapping each other, I smiled in amazement and chuckled. I never thought that the great nation's would ever come together like this.

Kakashi's voice pulled me from my thoughts as he spoke to Gaara. "Now then Gaara, you're the Commander and Chief of the whole Battle regimen. Now please address everyone once they settle down."

Gaara stared out at the Battle Regimen, face showing no emotion what so ever, maybe he didn't know what to say, or was nervous to speak to this many people. I was standing behind Kakashi, as a lone solider I didn't need to be up front, but Kakashi pulled me forward to stand next to him and be seen like everyone else.

"You are a Queen, you stand before everyone just like we are. You are one of the strongest fighters here. Show it." Kakashi was right, I now held a title, a Queen should show her power and stand with others, show that they can count on her.

I looked over at Gaara, who still hasn't said anything, the Battle Regimen has now grew quiet, they just stared at him, some actually began to argue with each other, their arguments building and over lapping all the others. I sighed and out my hands on my hips, even though they were all on the same side, they still didn't trust each other, we were all in this together, and yet they couldn't let go their petty grudges.

Kakashi sighed loudly closing his eye, Gaara used his sand to break up all of the physical fights,

"In the name of Gain and profit for ones nation and Village, Shinobi have hated and hurt each other for many years, from the first to the third great ninja wars and the conflicts in between. All of that hatred dried up for power as I was born. In the past I was hatred, and power, and a jinchuriki. I hated this world and all its people and thought about destroying both. That's exactly what the Akatsuki is trying to do now."

Gaara took a step forward, "But then! A single Shinobi from the Hidden Leaf Village stopped me." Gaara closes his eyes as if he was remembering something, he lifted his hand opening his eyes,

"He cried for me. I was his enemy yet still he cried for me and he called me his friend even though we had battled. He saved me, we were on different sides, but we both were Jinchuriki. Between those who have experienced the same pain there can be no hate! There are no enemies here now because each one of us bares the pain of having been hurt by the Akatsuki. The Sand, the Stone, the Leaf, t And the Cloud are no more, now there is only Shinobi!"

Every one of the Allied Shinobi had a shocked expression on their face,

"And if you are still unable to forgive the Sand, then you can come back and face me after this war is over!"

I smiled at Gaara, he may be young, but he sure knows how to give a speech.

"The looks on their faces have changed." Kakashi's eye traveled across the Battle Regimen.

Gaara held up his arms at his sides, "The friend I spoke of who saved me is the target of our enemy. If he falls into their hands our world is finished. I want to protect my friend, and I want to protect this entire world. I am too young and inexperienced to do that, so I ask you, all of you, to please lend me your hand for this fight!"

Everyone down below cheered loudly for Gaara, pumping their fists high in the air. The people who were fighting before now shaking hands in truce.

"All those who feel as I do, FOLLOW ME!" Gaara was full of confidence, he was a true commanded, and a fine Kazekage, a natural born leader.

I chuckled and looked at Kakashi, his eye still holding his same stoic expression, but when he looked at me, he smiled wide through his mask, reaching his hand out and grabbing mine tightly.

Gaara jumped down from the balcony, the rest of the Captains and I following suit. as we landed we were already running off, all the companies following behind their Captains. Gulliver was close behind me, he was quick to find me once we all started to run.

"There you are Gulliver! I was wondering where you ran off to." He ran faster to stay beside me so I could hear him over all of the running feet.

"Sorry Milady! I was talking with the Ice Knights, I divided them up and gave them each a company to follow." He didn't sound at all out breath, I know they made our armor pretty light so that we could run with ease, but his armor was a tad bit heavier than mine.

"Good. Thank you, just stay close to me for now. Okay?"

"Yes Milady!"

Each company started to drift apart, all going to where they were told to go. I followed behind Kakashi, as the sand began to turn into green grass, trees became thicker the farther we went. We stopped running when we heard an explosion, we looked up in the sky when a red flare was shot up,

Kakashi gasped, "A red flare. Its the Commando Unit, lets go!"

We all took off running in their direction, running as fast as our legs could carry us to help them out.

I felt a rush of ice cold air and gasped, "Cold air? In this heat? Kakashi! something doesn't feel right!" I pushed my legs harder, biting my thumb drawing blood , I lifted mynsleeve and swiped my seal, my Ice Sword appearing in my hand, we cleared the trees and saw the Commando company being rushed by a group of shinobi, one who was an Ice user like me. We all jumped up and landing between them, Kakashi clashed with the tall man, Guy taking on another, Lee clashing with the Ice user.

The man Kakashi was clashed with eyes widened, so did the Ice user's, "Kakashi?"

So they know each other, I stood back in front of Sai, "You guys alright?" I asked turning my head to them, Sai nodded his head, "Yes, we're good." I turned back to the group in front me, ready to strike if need be.

"Kakashi you're a life saver!"

Kakashi turned his head towards the man, "Don't start celebrating just yet. All of these guys are going to be difficult Shinobi to beat."

"I knew we'd have to fight. But I never imagined it would be against you Kakashi. That day back on the bridge, you were supposed to finish me off and send me to hell. When I came to, I was in the same place as Haku. It seems this is neither Heaven nor Hell."

"This is the world of the living. You shouldn't be here. You're under the reanimation jutsu."

The man scoffed at Kakashi, "Reanimation jutsu?"

"That's right. The Akatsuki brought you back from the world of the dead."

So this is the reanimation jutsu. Those poor souls, not being able to do what you want your body to do. forced to do someone else's bidding.

"Zabuza. Haku." Sakura said somewhere behind me, the man that Lee was tied up with looked at her, so did the man who was with Kakashi.

Zabuza chuckled, "You've grown up. Kakashi's little Kunoichi, and is the other lad doing well?"

Sakura gasped and nodded her head, "Yes."

Was he talking about Naruto, or Sasuke? I looked back Sakura in confusion, waiting for her to confirm which one he was talking about.

"He defeated us. He must be all grown up now. Probably famous too."

"Yeah. They named that bridge after him. The Great Naruto Bridge.To everyone in our Village, he's a hero, they call him, 'The kid who makes miracles happen.'" Kakashi answered my unspoken question.

Haku chuckled, but Kakashi continued, "Thanks to both of you Naruto was able to find his Ninja way. He pledged to follow it at your graves. He's quite the splendid Shinobi now, and he's grown into a fine young man too."

Haku turned his head to Kakashi, "Then, he will become even stronger."

All the Shinobi in front of us had a look of pain shoot across their faces, a dark purple aura surrounded Zabuza, "Kakashi, you must stop us." The dark aura grew larger and a demonic face appeared above Zabuza.

"Retreat!" Kakashi yelled. We all jumped back a good ways, Kakashi landing in front of me, Sakura, and Sai.

"Kakashi, aren't those two-" Kakashi cut Sai off, "Yeah. There's no mistake."

"They are the Demon Zabuza, and Haku of the Ice Style."

"Ice style huh? I can take him on." I boasted taking a step forward, but Kakashi's arm and Gulliver's stopped me.

"Don't get too full of yourself Y/N. He's stronger than you think."

Kakashi got in a fighting stance the kunai that I gifted him in hand, along with Sakura and Sai.

"That aura, so that's the demon Zabuza, and that Ice style child-"

"Prepare yourselves. Don't let your guard down Guy. He is unparalleled in silent killing."

"Please Kakashi," Haku started, "I'm begging you now, you must stop us once again. You must. My dream was to always be an instrument of Master Zabuza's, a weapon for him to use, and to die protecting him. However, the fact that Master Zabuza is under this jutsu, means that not only did I fail to protect him from you that day, long ago, but also means I can't even protect him now, and worse, I can't even do his bidding anymore."

"No you did indeed protect Zabuza. He died from a different cause. Plus Zabuza never thought you were merely a tool."

Zabuza growled, "Kakashi, just shut your mouth already."

But Kakashi didn't listen to him, he kept talking to Haku, "Naruto, he dug deep into Zabuza's heart and carved out the truth."

Kakashi lifted up his head band opening his left eye, Haku and Zabuza's eyes went from being all black to black with white irises.

"Here they come." Kakashi warned, A shinobi leaned into Kakashi, another explaning to him that the other two Shinobi are also Kekki Genki users.

"Ninja art: Hidden Mist jutsu." A think fog surrounded us all, Kakashi truned his head to us, "Assemble Battle groups with Sensory type ninja at the center, the other members cover, twelve, three, six, and nine o'clock positions in mangi formation." He barked out his orders to all of us , "Zabuza can locate targets using sound only!"

The mist was getting thicker by the second, I coudn't see anything in front of my face. All I could make out was the outline of Kakashi and Guy's bodies as I was pushed to the center of the formation. I still tried to scan the area, the voices of my comrades drained out as I tried to focus, I could sense their chakra's, they haven't moved yet.

"Mist, and then cold air.-" A scream was heard to our left, and then to our right. "It's begun!" Kakashi yelled out turning to face me. I quickly closed my eyes, straining my brain to locate the enemy, I smelled burning flesh and wrinkled my nose in disgust, "Enemy at two o'clock!" I yelled just as soon as fire balls were swirling in the air, sounds of fighting were all around me as I struggled to get a reading on all the enemies. My body was shaking from struggling so hard, my brain felt like it was going to rip in two.

Hearing all of these people around me cry out in pain and for their fallen comrades was causing me to struggle more, this use to be so easy when I was blind. I've gotten too used to being able to see that I haven't kept up with sensing chakra, I lost the edge I had, standing here wouldnt do me any good. I growled in frustration and opened my eyes, looking for Kakashi, or Guy, but I couldnt see anybody, Gulliver put his back to mine, "You okay Milady?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I started to get a pounding headache, I felt blood trickle down my nose and settle on my upper lip, "Just overdid it trying to sense chakras."

"Summoning jutsu!" Multiple wooden coffins popped up out of the ground as the mist thinned out a bit, "What the hell is that?" I asked in shock as Zabuza did back flips and landed in front of them. The lids opened slamming to the ground, "Former members of the Seven Ninja Swordsman Of The Mist."

"No way...that can't be!" I yelled running closer to Kakashi, stopping just a few feet from him, I stood on a jutted out piece of rock to get a better look, and sure enough, the dead members were now standing before us all.

"Out of all of the Seven Ninja Swordsman if the Mist, these are the most powerful ever." Each swordsman had their sword from when they were alive, meaning that they were at full power.

"The Seven ninja swordsman." I tuned Kakashi out, my mouth hung open in surprise that the enemy was able to get their hands on all of their bodies.

"Alright, we need to buy time for the sealing platoons, we will attack as one!" Kakashi ordered and everyone jumped at once, fire balls, kunai, lightening strikes, all headed towards the seven swordsman. But all of their attacks failed, I gathered up chakra, held my hand out "Ice Release: Ten Thousands Ice Petals!" Thousands of ice shards shot out from my hand, but Haku threw up an ice mirror and blocked them all. "Another Ice user? This should be fun." He turned invisible and was gone, I quickly looked around trying to find him, "I'm right here." I quickly turned around swinging my sword but missed him by an inch. I felt a sharp pains in my shoulder blade, swinging my sword around and missed yet again.

I saw a flash of lightening and followed it, i stopped once I saw Kakashi's hand through Haku's body, Haku saved Zabuza. Zabuza grabbed his sword and swung towards Kakashi,

"Kakashi!" I went to run to him but he used Haku's body to block Zabuza's attack, but when Kakashi laid his body down on the ground I saw that Kakashi had been cut along his stomach., I ran up to Haku, placing his head in my lap and ran my fingers through his hair in a comforting manner, even though he had attacked me, he was still a child, who cared deeply for Zabuza, and no one should die alone.

"Zabuza, I hesitated slicing through Haku that day on the bridge, you simply couldn't hide the unrest in your heart over Haku's death." Zabuza ran towards Kakashi, "But things are ifferent today, you're just an emotionless tool. So let's get this senseless fight over with!" Kakashi ran towards Zabuza, lightening blade at full power.

"Ice user." Haku said looking up at me, "It's Y/N."

"Why do you cradle me? We are enemies."

"Because I'm sure if Zabuza could, he would be right here next to you. So until then, I'll be here."

I heard metal hit rock and Zabuza's sword landed so close to me and Haku that it had cut my thigh, I looked up and Kakashi had his hand through Zabuza's chest. Zabuza looked over at me, and then shifted his eyes to Haku, blood from the sword dripped down and landed in Haku's eyes, as it slid down it made it seem he was crying tears of blood. The ice mirror that was by Kakashi and Zabuza shattered, "Now sealing team!" Kakashi yelled over his shoulder.

Cloth flew over towards them and wrapped around Zabuza until he was fully encased, the heavy mist began to faded away as they put the final seal on him. They took Haku from me an sealed him away too, I stood up, but flinched as pain shot through my leg, "Y'N!" Gulliver was at my side the instant he could see, he had cuts and markings all over his armor from fighting, "Are you okay?" He sat me down inspecting my thigh, "We need help over here!" He called out, Sakura and Guy coming to my aid, "Guy go back and help, I'll be okay." He nodded his head and jumped back into the fight.

"What happened Y/N Sensei?" Sakura asked healing my thigh. "Zabuza's swords cut me when he clashed with Kakashi."

"You have sebons in your back." Gulliver said yanking them out one by one, "You know you could be more gentle!" I groaned as he pulled the last one out.

"Sorry, but they are out now." I growled and sighed as Sakura finished healing me, I stood up stretching out my leg, "Thanks Sak-"

'Y'N, Gulliver, can you hear me?'

A voice called in my head,

'Shikaku?'

"Yes, now listen, we got intel that Gunta and Levi have been spotted ten kilometers to the South of you.'

I snapped my eyes to Gulliver, he nodded his head and we ran off ignoring the calls of Sakura behind us.

'Has anyone fought them?'

"No. We were told that our scouting team hasnt been seen yet.'

'Good. tell them to fall back.'

'Undersood.'

Me and Gulliver ran side by side, neither of us said anything, we were more focused on getting to the twins. We broke through a tree line, and in an open clearing were the twins, standing in the middle of the clearing

"Ah, there's father." Levi announced pushing his bangs out of his eyes, me and Gulliver stopped a few feet from them, I held my sword tightly and glared at them.

"I'll give you one chance to come fight for us, fight against Madara!"

Levi rolled his eyes and scoffed, "And why would we wanna do that?"

My eyes shifted to Gunta, "Because as your mother I ask you to please change sides, fight for actual peace."

Gunta's eyes widened at me, "You know?"

"Yes I know. Gulliver told me, please Gunta, Levi, don't do this. I don't want to fight you, I want us to be a family. Be a family with me, Gulliver, and Kakashi."

"Kakashi." Levi sneered pulling his sword from his side, "You really think I would want to play house with the likes of Leaf Shinobi?!" He charged at me, full intent to kill me...

I have no choice... I have to fight and possibly kill my son.
