Declaration of War

(Author's POV)

Naruto winced as he made impact with a tree. He looked up and saw how the others continued to fight against the masked man to get Yui back. Nothing was helping since the man somehow kept dodging their ever move. It would not have made a difference if Hidan and Yamato weren't out cold because this man was just that good.

Madara was trying to hold back as to not hurt Yui in the process, but if this continued, they would all be out of chakra. Sasuke helped Naruto up to make sure he didn't have any injuries.

Sasuke: At this rate we'll never be able to get Yui back if we hold ourselves back.

Naruto nodded and was ready to go back into sage mode until his body wouldn't respond. He fell right into Sasukes arms and struggled to stand on his own. He knew he was at his limit.

Sasuke: Don't force yourself. You've used most of your chakra already and I don't want you using the kyuubi's chakra in your condition.

Naruto only glared and leaned up against a tree with Hidan on it. Hidan still being out cold made Naruto wonder if it was because of that night. He slowly extended his hand to touch Hidan only for the albino to flinch.

Madara and the others backed off to try and regain some energy as they looked at the masked man in frustration. Yui only sobbed in his arms and covered his stomach to shield the babies.

Masked Man: If this continues, I'll have no other choice but to kill you all at once. I haven't done it yet because you all are valuable assets to my plan.

Kakashi only glared at the man and stood up before facing him. He spoke with malice in his voice.

Kakashi: What plan?!

The man only chuckled before playing with Yui's hair.

Masked Man: More like a project. Project Tsuki no Me. Madara and Zetsu should be familiar with it. Am I right?

Madara and Zetsu tensed at the name and so did Yui. The plan that was long gone was suddenly being mentioned out of the blue. Yui could only imagine the destruction it would cause to the shinobi world and people's lives.

Madara: How did you manage to acquire those plans. We got rid of them long ago.

Masked Man: Why don't you ask Zetsu. His tactic to destroy only meant hiding. Someone like him thinks about himself before others.

Madara turned to Zetsu and glared at the man daring him to speak.

Zetsu: I didn't destroy them because I wanted to see if they were of any use to us, Madara!

Masked Man: Use it was. Why do you think I took Naruto's Chakra and did all these things? A distraction from what I was originally planning. You see, I only needed some of his chakra. Yui never really had a chance either way because I was going to take him whether or not you wanted me to. These children he's carrying are going to be the sole heirs of my powerful empire and look after the tree if i'm gone.

Zetsu could only stand in shock. He knew this was all his fault. Yui had warned him so many times about getting rid of the plans, but he failed and now his brother is suffering.

Madara: What good is the plan if you don't have anyone with Hashirama cells. I'm the only one here and I'll be damned if you even try to lay your filthy hands on me!!

Masked Man: You seemed to have forgotten a small detail. Even artificial cells count.

They all turned to look at Yamato who laid knocked unconscious before a Masked woman suddenly appeared before them. She knelt down and checked his pulse before picking him up and tossing him over her shoulder.
