"It's not a sense of justice. Protecting my friends, and finding my own path is how I live life. If you measured good and evil deeds by current laws, I would be responsible for many crimes. The same way you like to hone your skills and live your own lives, for me too it's simply prolonging something I enjoy doing. That's why I only fight those that pique my interest; it's not justice at all. And if it means being able to protect a friend or becoming stronger, I don't and will not play fair. I'm a dishonest, cheating human being who hates losing." - Unknown

"I suppose it is only to be expected. You have my pity. There is no such thing as "truth" or "lies" in this world; there never has been. There is only plain, hard facts. And yet, all beings who exist in this world take only those "facts" that are convenient to them, and take them to be the "truth". They do so because they know no other way to live. However, for those powerless beings that make up the majority of this world it is those "facts" that are inconvenient for their own self-affirmation that make up the real "truth." - Aizen Sousuke

Madara dodged a giant wave of snakes as Orochimaru charged at him with his blade at the ready. Madara allowed Orochimaru to phase through him, but the moment when he turned and reached to pull him into his dimension he saw the wave of sand heading straight at him. Madara decided to let the attack phase through him once more as he dropped down towards the ground looking at Kabuto, Gaara, E, and Orochimaru. "This is getting bad." Madara narrowed his eye at the group. "I'm nearing my time limit I can't keep this up for much longer." Madara let out a small breath knowing what he must do. He raised his hand and placed it right where his covered eye was. Gaara didn't allow Madara to finish what he was planning as he sent a wave of sand crashing towards him. Madara jumped out of the way just as Orochimaru appeared next to him swinging his sword at his head. Madara spun his body just as Orochimaru's blade slashed across his mask causing pieces to begin to break off.

"Why isn't he letting the attacks phase through him?" Gaara thought as he looked at Madara with confusing as he disappeared in a burst of lightning. "Unless it was a-." That was when Gaara realized what Madara was up and watched as E reappeared behind Madara with his fist raised. "Raikage stop!" Gaara was to late as Madara broke the last bit of his mask and revealed his other Sharingan just as E's fist blasted a hole through Madara's chest.

E narrowed his eyes down at Madara's body as it went limp, but that was when a chuckle brought turned his attention behind him. "You fool." E felt the sword pass through his chest surprising E as it went through his Raiton armor. E looked at Madara only to see his right Sharingan begin to close as he fell out of the air. "But I have to admit I never thought I would've had to resort to using the Izanagi (God of Creation). Now who is next to lie bleeding beneath Madara Uchiha." But before anyone could answer a shape began to emerge right next to Madara.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we need to get going." Zetsu announced getting Madara's full attention.

"Oh, so he is done already." Zetsu simply nodded his head.

"Yes, but we have lost Kisame." This brought a tinge of anger to Madara as he stared down at the group.

"The death of Kisame is... unfortunate." Madara stated with anger in his voice. "But it cannot be helped. We will go and collect the rest of Akatsuki along with our prizes." Madara looked at Gaara with a gleam in his Sharingan. "Until next time Kazekage." Madara suddenly began to pull himself into his dimension just as Zetsu sunk into the ground.
