Himika squared up against Madara. She looked behind him to see that Kakashi was going up against Obito.

"You should never take your eyes off your opponent," Madara said. Himika looked back at him to see he was only a few feet in front of her. Himika kneeled down and put her hands on the ground. Vines reached up, trying to grasp at his ankles. He maneuvered through them. She stopped the jutsu and stood up. When he was just in front of her, he went to hit her, but his hand passed through her.

"I guess if I can't hurt you then I will have to distract you," He said. He made a hand sign and the beast raised up. Spikes started to form and were shot out through the air. She saw Neji jump in the air, trying to protect everyone.

"No!" She yelled and raised her hands in the air. A giant black hole opened up, the spikes went in it and disappeared. She saw Neji fall to the ground, unharmed.

"You are strong, but how long can you keep it up?" Madara asked and charged at her. She lowered one hand and pointed it at him. He was pushed back away from her. She held the portal open long enough that the spikes finally disappeared. She closed the portal. She looked around to see Madara was out of her sight and Obito and Kakashi were gone. She ran up to Naruto.

"Where is Kakashi?" She asked him. He shook his head.

"I don't know, they were here and then they were gone," He said. Sakura ran up to them.

"Himika, Naruto, do you know what that thing is?" She asked.

"It's the Ten tails. Madara is controlling it somehow. That is why Naruto and Bee need to be careful," She said. Suddenly, Kakashi and Obito were back. Kakashi had a couple cuts on him. Obito made a hand sign and the Ten tails reared up forming a ball.

"This isn't good," Naruto said. Himika was ready for the attack, but what she wasn't prepared for was the ball going completely over them and into the direction of their intel unit. A large blast was seen and the intel went completely silent.

"N-no," Himika said. Shikamaru and Ino's dad were in that unit.

"Himika, do not lose your head right now," Kakashi said. She looked back and finally saw that Madara was impaled by the black zetsu and Obito had combined himself with the ten tails. Madara started to shift and a woman appeared. She looked similar to Himika.

"I-is that," Sakura started.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki," Himika finished. She felt a bond between herself and Kaguya, almost like a familiarity towards her. She knew she couldn't trust her, but something pulled her towards Kaguya.

"I can feel... One of my children," Kaguya said. She opened her eyes and looked around. When her eyes landed on Himika, she stopped.

"Himika Yamakura. You are my descendant, why help these people?" She asked her. Kaguya slowly floated towards her. Himika held out her hand, forcing her to stop.

"I may be a descendant, but these are my friends. My family. And you are attacking them and for what?" She said. She felt someone next to her. She looked and there was Sasuke.

"S-Sasuke?" She asked. His eyes were focused on Kaguya.

"Yeah, I'm here," He said.

"Well now that Team 7 is reunited, I don't see a downside to this war," Naruto said.

"Only if you guys figured out what teamwork is over these past few years," Kakashi said sarcastically. Himika looked at him.

"I think our time apart has made us grow up. We have learned a few things," Himika said with a small smile.
