Flashback

"I see." Everyone was quiet as they took the grim news in.

"Who?" questioned Sasuke as he stared into Reika's pained eyes.

She only shook her head in response as she closed her eyes in obvious grief. She doesn't know.

A click is heard from the window just then, causing Reika to side glance to said window from her position on the wall. She was surprised to see an all too familiar falcon outside with a message on its ankle.

Sasuke was staring in shock at the bird. He, too, recognized the predator. Who wouldn't? It was their first Hokage's summoning. Madara's falcon, Shinsou.

Reika opened the window allowing the bird to rest on her arm, as she grabs the message; only for the bird to return to his home in a puff of smoke.

Reika gingerly opened the message only to drop it as if it had burned her. Everyone stared in surprise for a few seconds frozen on the spot. The gasp they had heard from Reika was not commonly heard.

Tobirama glanced down as he took in the drops of liquid that fell from the ground. 'She is crying' he thought bitterly. He took steps forward, the sound echoing in the silent room as he strode towards Reika whose shoulders shook.

He gripped her shoulder firmly, turned her towards him, and pulled her face to his chest. "May our first leader rest in peace." He spoke it so quietly, no one should have been able to hear it, but everyone did.

End flashback.

"Kitsune," everyone present turned their gazes to Moon, who watched in a cautious manner. "Do your thing."

Reika's eyes glowed red as the words, "With pleasure" were heard from her mouth. They sounded crazed, yet dangerous at the same time. Reika was enveloped in a yellow aura as she brought chakra to her hands engulfing them in a golden flame.

Moon walked forward with careful steps as he glanced to Kakashi. "This is Sun." His whispers held a hidden meaning as Kakashi could look in fear as Reika had successfully driven out both shinobi out of the village.

When she had returned, she began to sway a bit before losing consciousness. Moon caught her with grace as he held her bridal style. "I hope no one was injured. Sun is Reika's other personality much like mine. Only, hers is safely taken down by Kurama.

He then flashed to the hotel where he gently put her down before flashing to grab Reita.

The skies seemed to mourn as civilians and shinobi alike stood faces down in front of a large number of coffins including two in particular. The first Hokage, Madara Uchiha, and his brother, Izuna Uchiha, were buried among them; though, their coffins were larger in size and held at the center.

Some distance away, a certain hooded figure turns from the funeral and walks briskly away, two jars were seen in his hands. They held the sharingan eyes of both respected leaders as he struggles to keep his laughter in, chuckling to himself.

His view shifts to one of a humanoid figure who stands ahead, A Venus flytrap attached to himself. Half of his body was white, looking somewhat innocent compared to the menacing looking black side opposite of the white. Their eyes along with their body reminded the hooded figure, who showed to be one Danzo Shimura, of the yin yang symbol.

Later in the day, upon Sasuke and Naruto's return with Jiraya and Tsunade, Reika and her teammates stand inside the hokage tower with the hokage. No one had their respectful jewels on; therefore, there was no genjutsu. Once everyone had entered the room, Tsunade was shocked to see two people she thought were her grandfather and great uncle.
