When the light dimmed down everything was in chaos. Up in the Kage box. The snake sannin had revealed himself.
"Age has made you a weak oldman now I'm the master now " Orochimaru laughed.
Then Orochimaru saw the oldman disappear and he heard the oldman laugh.
"What is this show yourself oldman your beloved village will now be crushed by my hands and there is nothing you can do about it" Orochimaru laughed again but stopped again when reappeared.
" You have lost Orochimaru now you will die by my hand" the oldman smiled.
"I think you went senile oldman, your city lay in ruin, the leaf has been stomped out, you lose" Orochimaru yelled.
"No you have lost Orochimaru you just don't see it yet for the minute you looked in my eyes you lost". The oldman turned into Itachi. "You see everything you thought just happened only happens in your mind. Everything after that blinding light is just in this universe and in this universe I am a god. You're in my universe for the next 72 hours but that one second in the real word. You won't die until all 72 hours are up, please enjoy" Itachi laughed. Just like that the Snake sannin was dead he dropped to the ground as Itachi yelled "Amaterasu" and Orochimaru was gone.

Just like that the war was over between Itachi and Shikamaru's dad the perfect plan was created to stop the war. Itachi had sent a letter to the wind damayo's palace informing him of the plan so when the time came the sand village really betrayed Orochimaru and the sound village. The Sand Village in turn elected Baki its new Kage.
Baki's first course of action post battle related was to help Gaara. So he talked to Itachi if they could help with his seal.
Gaara was trying to meditate when he was flashed to a room he's never seen before. He looks around. In the corner he sees a woman with long red hair. She smiles at him.
"GET BACK MOTHER WANTS YOUR BLOOD I WILL KILL YOU" Gaara said.
"That's not your mother talking Gaara but don't worry we're going to fix that honey don't you worry," the lady with red hair smiles and walks forward.
Gaara starts to freak out when his sand doesn't move "stop it.... Get away.... Please stop" Gaara sceams.
She walks slowly toward him when she reaches him. He's in the fetal position and she then places a hand on his head and he falls asleep. She then gets started on his new seal.
A few days later Gaara wakes up lying in a bed. In a new room he seeing an iv in his arm but he's still really hungry. That's when he smells food so he gets up making his way down the stairs when he realizes he is in his boxers. But he's so hungry he doesn't care. Gaara reaches the kitchen and see the lady with the red hair again.
She heard Gaara come down the stairs and is fixing him a plate of food. She turns and smiles at him he's trying to run; he can't, he's too tired.
"Please stay away... don't hurt me please..." Gaara begged.
"Oh hun, I'm not going to hurt you , you know. I fixed your seal now you sleep now you can be like everybody else. I'm Kushina by the way I knew your mother when she was alive you know.
"My mother hated me because I cost her her life," Gaara said.
"No Karura loved you trust me a mother knows these things. She gave her life for you because you were her baby mothers do that. Love makes you strong so you can protect what's most important to you, that's when you can truly be strong. " As Kushina sat at the table for breakfast with Gaara.
