A few hours passed since the discussion with the five Kage, and now The masked man was observing the fight that was going on with Danzo Shimura and Sasuke Uchiha.

It was no surprise that the Kage disagreed to join sides with him to battle against Reina. That was very unfortunate, but exactly what he expected would happen.

Fortunately, if the war goes well, The Organization won't be a problem anymore. No matter how strong her and the organization may be, they are not powerful enough to break the infinite tsukuyomi.

He smiled under his mask when he felt a familiar presence behind him.

"Look at that, I was just thinking about you."

There stood someone with a black coat. Their face and body was hidden from view, yet the masked man knew who it was without having to turn around. That chakra signature was unmistakable.

"He'll need an eye transplant soon." She voiced softly.

"Had you not turned Itachi's body to complete nothingness I wouldn't have a transplant donor to worry about." He sighed.

"Here." She said as she held a silver container out to him ignoring his comment.

The masked man didn't need an explanation to know what it was.

He grabbed the container and set it down beside him.

"You barely know him, so why help?"

"... He was once Shisui's friend." She answered simply.

He knew the bond Reina and Shisui had, so he didn't doubt her words.

"Will you go down there and lend him a hand then?"

Reina saw as Sasuke used his red headed ally to manage and make an injury on the enemy. The red head along with Danzo were pierced by Sasuke's change in chakra form.

"I would rather not." She responded. "I only came to give you that. Without it Sasuke won't get far."

"He could very well be the one to defeat you yet you're helping him get stronger..."

"I'm only helping him survive. If I die by his hand because of it, that's on me."

"It most certainly will be." Agreed the masked man.

Right about now, Reina saw Danzo blow up into bits and pieces. While the injuries Sasuke acquired during the fight are not life threatening, he still needed to quickly treat them to prevent any infections.

His friend on the other hand was in critical condition.

Feeling a stare on him, Sasuke looked up to see both the masked man and a person with a cloak. He wondered who it could be, and that's when he saw a small braid the length of the rest of the cloaked persons dark long hair that flew with the wind and instantly knew who it was.

Just like Reina who didn't know much about him, Sasuke also didn't know much about her except that one characteristic. The white strand of hair which only certain members in the main branch family of her clan are born with, a strand with a very important purpose.

There was no way he could forget that.

"I won't fight alongside you during the war, but I will do something which will help you in the future. All I ask is that you take care of Sasuke. He was very special to Shisui."

"So was Itachi." He voiced referring back to what she did to Itachi in his severely weakened state.

"... I had to." She sighed.

Sasuke was still staring at the person behind the cloak that he didn't notice Sakura behind him with a poisoned Kunai.

What he did see is a knife being formed from thin air in front of the cloaked person and fly at full force in his direction.
