I owe you guys an explanation for three weeks of no updating. First of all, I had food poisoning at the start of the first week and the area I lived in was hazy with smoke from forest fires (wood smoke makes my eyes and throat dry and sensitive and also gives me headaches). To top it off, my summer job has me working from afternoons and into the night five days a week. Sundays I spend time with family and on my other day off I attend therapy sessions and do yardwork for an elderly friend. Along with the time constraints, I've had writer's block that has kept reoccurring.
Hopefully, I can squeeze in some more time for writing from this point onward.
Prepare for some side character cameos

Land of Lighting: Second Night of the 4th Shinobi World War...
The Shinobi Alliance was on its last legs. With seven of the nine Tailed Beasts and some remnants of the Eight and Nine Tails' chakra sealed into the Gedo Statue, the Ten-Tails had awakened. Madara Uchiha had reappeared on the battlefield having easily beaten the combined efforts of the Six Kage and the other village leaders. He had to admit, the young Hoshikage's toxic radioactive chakra and the Kazakage's sand were a problem since absorbing them was an issue even for a regenerative body like his, and that last-ditch effort of the combined power of the Kage was quite impressive. However, he had more important things to deal with and quickly defeated them.
With the Reanimation Jutsu undone, the Alliance had been focused on the defeat of the Ten-Tails but were heavily impeded by the interference of Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha. Only minutes ago, the Ten-Tails had fired a giant Tailed Beast Bomb that had destroyed the Shinobi Alliance's headquarters. Luckily the commanding team had been able to formulate one last plan for the alliance to follow that severed the two Uchiha's direct control of the beast.
Thousands of shinobi had died in the beast's rampage, even with Madara and Obito's connection now having been severed, it was extremely dangerous.
At this point, Naruto's chakra reserves were depleted and his Nine Tail's Chakra Mode was gone. Now battered and bruised and unable to stand he knelt on the rubble of the battlefield.
Sakura stepped up behind him, placing her hands on his back as she activated her Mystical Palm, "Time for you to recover."
Madara scornfully looked down at them, "A futile attempt."
The Ten-Tails roared, opening its giant maw as it regurgitated what appeared to be its stomach. The giant organ opened up like a giant flower with sickly fleshy petals as a massive orb of dense chakra formed within the center of the giant blossom.
The Shinobi Alliance remained firm, but they knew all too well that none of them would survive if they were hit by this attack.
Seeing the slight waver in everyone's thoughts, Sakura spoke out in a compelling voice, "We have to remain strong, everyone! We can't stand down after coming this far! Naruto is putting his all in doing what has to be done! The words he said about keeping his comrades in his heart made it clear."
There was a murmur of agreement among the ninja ranks.
"She's right," someone admitted, "He's been going out of his way to protect even people like us, former enemies. of his village"
"That's not what I mean!" Sakura yelled, "He's told us he considers all of us his comrades from the bottom of his heart."
A thrill of inspiration filled the Shinobi's heart, remembering the Gaara's words to them that united them all at the start of the war. Comrades. They were no longer enemies, rivals, or ninja of different villages. They were all standing there as comrades. Shinobi.
