'The crowd cheers loudly even at this ungodly hour' Reita thought as her mind had wondered back to when she was Coach Ukai from the Kurosuno volleyball team.

The crowds cheered loudly ignorant of those exhausted as they prepared for the race. Shops were open although everything was overpriced, and Reita was observing the map of the island.

She was beyond exhausted which would explain why she can't seem to stop yawning. She can only hope her sister will not overwork herself. She smiled softly at the thought of her sister.

'She reminds me of Yuki in a way.' She couldn't help but look up the night sky. 'It can't be later than four in the morning right now.'

She begins walking with the crowd as if she were a tourist coming to see the big race, just like she was told to do. 'It sucks being a teenager again.'

Across the island, Reika stands with her eyes closed surrounded by trees and her arms crossed. Her hair is slightly elevated by her chakra which she is using to locate them. There is no rule against hiring shinobi to aid in the race, and Reika is looking for the opposing team's shinobi.

While that is happening, Tobirama's head tilts in the direction of which he senses Reika and smiles fondly. His eyes closed, he thinks, 'Her chakra is stabilizing more and more each day. She is constantly training her chakra while she does these missions; at this point, I believe the moon on her forehead has gone away.'

Reika had used the idea of the hundred healings jutsu to help stabilize her chakra in large proportions, allowing her to use more in a way that it won't harm others.

Tobirama then opens his eyes as he looks at the man before him. In the ninja's hands is the blade of which his alternate self owned. Tobirama glares as his mind wonders to what his alternate self did and how it was portrayed.

"Lightning style: shock wave jutsu!" The missing nin yells snapping Tobirama out of his thoughts. Tobirama's hand twitched as the sound of blood gurgling is followed. His opponent has shock written all over his face, no pun intended, as blood came hurling out of his mouth.

He is in too much shock to scream as his head rolls onto the ground. He looks up at his body still standing in the wooded area as blood squirts out of his neck upward before it falls to his knees. His vision begins to fade to black, causing him to blink. He then sees his opponent standing behind his body, Eyes red like a demons, hair white as the moon. They glow in the starlit skies above, and he can't help but his last thoughts be:

'He's a demon!'

He dies, eyes wide and fearful. Tobirama doesn't even blink as he grabs the blade and wraps it gently before going through his things. He remembers this guy in the bingo book, and collects the man's head as well, placing it securely in a scroll with a red band. He places the sword in one with a golden band.

Once he is sure he has everything he needs, he stands up and destroys the body: leaving behind ashes as he flashes away thoughts of the man's last words echoing in his mind.

Its nothing he hasn't heard before.

Click. Clank. The sounds of feet skids across dirt. Clang. Some sparks fly as two blades clash. Two pairs of sharingan glow as the Uchiha brothers pant heavily.

They glare at the monster in front of them who stands smirking, not even a tad bit out of breath. His arms like steel despite their unearthly appearance.

"Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto yells loudly despite everyone yelling at him not to interfere.  In a split second, they had all dispersed at the tentacles of the black goo that surrounds their opponent.
