Once they arrive at The Five Kage Summit, Jay and his troops made their way in. He ordered Captain Will and his Airborne Company to secure the area. Once they went in they met a gruesome site. As we entered the facility, they saw the wounded be treated and the damaged be examined before reconstruction had begun. Jay went on ahead with Commander Ponds & Captain Raven, noticing some of scorch marks. They were done by Sasuke and his group, called 'Taka'. While looking around, Jay sensed someone coming. It was Garra, The Fifth Kazekage, & Lady Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi. Jay stepped in, proclaiming to them that we are Jedi of The Galactic Republic and allies to the Hidden Leaf & we have not come here to fight. Garra knows us, but not Lady Mizukage. The Clones that were with Jay removed their helmets as proof to Lady Mei. She intrigued by this. But, Jay and Britt noticed she took an interest in on clone, Sergeant Locke. She gazed into his eyes, lovely; to which he was confused. He looked towards Jay with confusion and asked what is going on. He replied to him "I think she likes you.". Locke blushed and turned to Lady Mizukage. He couldn't move or speak. Several Clones, who watched the whole thing, chuckled among themselves. Britt couldn't help but join in.
Just then, A trooper received a messaged through his comlink that a Clone Commando Squad, the one Jedi dispatched to trace Danzō from the shadows, reported that Danzō is in battle at Samurai Bridge with Sasuke, Lieutenant Katazumi, Master Hifno & General Lyons, who appeared from the shadows to tried to kill Danzō, but failed the first time. Jay ordered to troops to gather and prepare to move out to Samurai Bridge. So was done; but, not before Lady Mizukage giving a quick kiss on Locke. Locke, blushing with embarrassment, returned to his group. By the time they got there, Danzō was already dead. Sasuke claimed responsibility for his death. Before he could finish off Karin, Lyons and his team intervene. Then, confirming Katazumi's rumor, Sasuke pull out his lightsaber and attacked. Lyons, in return, ignited his borrowed saber and attacked Sasuke. Even though Lyons had some training, he put up a good fight against Sasuke's attack. Republic gunships came around the corner. Jay peered out of the gun ship and, peering out of the gunship, he saw through his marcobinoculars a battalion of Separatists Battle Droids fighting Delta Squad and Sharpe Squad. He also saw Lyons fighting Sasuke with lightsabers. Jay ordered the pilots to aid the commandos and land The Airborne Troopers. So was done. Jay, Britt and his troops landed and order his troops to finish the droids, to which the droids fell back. Lyons managed to disarm Sasuke and head-butted him until the two were eight feet apart. "I promised Naruto and Sakura I give you one last chance." General Lyons said to Sasuke. "And, THIS is it!" "I tell them that." Replied Sasuke, in a cold demeaner. "After I finish killing you and your allies." Then, firing up his chidori, Sasuke walked towards Lyons. Using his grappling hook on his Assassin's Gauntlet, He grabbed his lightsaber, ignited it and swung towards Sasuke, aiming for the head. But all that came to a stop when everyone heard a voice all out "SASUKE!" Both boys froze in their place. Both towards the sound of the voice. It was Sakura Haruno, who rushed on the scene to finish Sasuke; but, Jay and the others didn't know that. As everyone stood there on the bridge, Jay wondered will the fight finished right there or will it continue? He would soon get his answer.
Sakura arrived on The Samurai Bridge with the intention to kill Sasuke So Naruto doesn't have to shoulder a heavy burden. She told them that she had 'deserted' The Leaf and is coming with him. Both Jay & Lyons were shocked by this. Lyons tried to reason with her; telling her that the Sasuke she knows is dead. If she had joined her, they would have walked down a path of pain, death & destruction. Sasuke, taking this an opportunity, ask Sakura to kill Karin and serve as her replacement. 'Replacement?' Jay thought. 'What does that mean by that? he learned a thing or two from Count Dooku?'
Before the battle, Sasuke explained his plan for the world and The Alliance between The Jedi, The Hidden Leaf & The 13 Court Guard Squad. He planed on slaughtering the entire village, kill the entire Jedi Order, wipe out it's Clone Army, including the Republic, & execute the entire 13 Court Guard Squad. All to make them feel the same hatred he felt. Sakura drew her kunai and walked towards the injured Karin. But, she froze. Knowing she was injured, she couldn't kill her. Karin told Sasuke not to do it, as he fired up his chidori. Luckily Kakashi and Yukari came just in time, saving Sakura from Sasuke. Kakashi kicked Sasuke away. Then, Lyons ignited his lightsaber and swung at Sasuke, attacking him for attempting to kill Sakura. When that didn't work, after knocking the saber out of his hands, Lyons pulled out his hidden blade and made an attempt to kill him. Sasuke, seeing the attack coming, deflect the strike and then grabbed Lyons. Breaking his blade from his gauntlet, he stabbed Lyons in the leg and later kicked him back to Yukari, Sakura and Kakashi. Jay saw lightsaber in the air. Using The Force, he caught it and summoned it to him. After that, Kakashi tried to reason with Sasuke, but to no avail. He was brainwashed my Madara, after knowing the truth he told him. Kakashi told Sakura to take Karin and heal her. Lieutenant Niriko Katazumi picked up The Injured General Lyons, where she removed the blade and healed his leg. During this, Jay asked Lyons about the lightsaber he has. He said it was gifted to him by Lieutenant Katazumi who said she got it from a Jedi, a male Lasat. Jay learned of a Jedi, named Bugen Truneot, who died years ago, before the alliance between The Jedi, 13 Court Guard Squad and Hidden Leaf was formed. According to Lasat tradition, The warrior way of the Lasat, known as the Boosahn Keeraw, said if Lasat was bested by a superior opponent in combat, they would give them their weapon. Then, Jay saw Sasuke's Sliced Lightsaber and he took it to be examined. Then, Sasuke attacked Kakashi and Yukari and the three engaged and a fierce battle. Throughout the fight, Sasuke called Yukari a traitor for siding with The Leaf and has no right to have the Sharingan and said Kakashi has no right to have the Sharingan, which was gifted to him by his deceased comrade, Obito Uchiha. Jay and his troops watched the fight carefully. Then, Sasuke unleashed his new power called the Susanoo, a gigantic, humanoid avatar made of the user's chakra which surrounds them and fights on their behalf. After the battle, Jay dug deep into this power and learned that has been handed down throughout all the generations of the Uchiha Clan, starting with Indra Ōtsutsuki, the first born son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, Sage of Six Paths. He recently learned that Sasuke's older brother, Itachi Uchiha used it when they fought. Then, Sparky called out to his general and, like a flash, Sakura, in her unstable mental state, joins the battle. She starts attacking Sasuke from behind, but ultimately can't bring herself to harm him and cries at her own failure. Then, Sensing her, Sasuke grabs her by the throat, takes her kunai, and prepares to kill her with it. Some of my troopers aimed their blasters to either disarm, or kill, Sasuke. Lyons, too, was among them. But, Jay ordered them to stand down, just as Naruto arrived and saved Sakura from death. Sasuke confesses to killing Danzō and plans to do the same to his former teammates, the Jedi, the Soul Reapers and the village. This horrified Jay for what he will do. If that was to happen, Any surviving Jedi, along with The Clone Army, Soul Reaper & Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf would have form an army and have him brought to justice or bring him down for this thought.
After briefly fighting, Naruto and Sasuke talk and conclude that only they are suitable to fight each other, which they will do at some future date; Sakura is upset once again that her resolve isn't as strong as theirs and she decides to trust Naruto and Sasuke in fulfilling her dream of Team 7 having a happy ending. After Sasuke leaves with Tobi, Naruto passes out from the poison of her kunai and a panicked Sakura gives him the antidote. Troops of 76th took Karin into custody, where she would be questioned by The Hidden Leaf. Jay helped up General Lyons and, together, they traveled back to the Hidden Leaf. Along the way, They found Sai, Kiba & Rock Lee, where Sakura then uses an antidote to wake them up. After returning to the village, Naruto meets with the Konoha 11 as soon as they're back to tell them his decision, which Sakura defends when some of them accused Naruto of being unrealistic, but is concerned about Naruto and Sasuke's promise to fight to the death. General Lyons reported to General Lincoln and a couple of Assassin's about Danzō and his failure to kill him since Sasuke claimed responsibility. He also said he fought Sasuke. Jay was there, watching the meeting. One of them told him that it wasn't his fault, but they were grateful that the alliance is saved and he was alive. When they asked about the lightsabers. Jay stepped in and said one belonged to a Jedi and the other was gifted to Sasuke by Count Dooku. Lyons had some training when he fought Sasuke, but he said he had much to learn. He agreed to train him in Lightsaber Combat, show he encounter anyone who wielded a Lightsaber, excluding Force Wielders. They agreed and John was sworn in as a member of the Assassin Brotherhood.
After he was sworn in, Jay took John under his wing to be train. As Jay and General Lyons return to camp, The troops greeted their generals. Jay noticed the concerned look on Lyons's face. Two things were playing on his mind. The fate of Sasuke Uchiha and Tsunade in her coma. He feared Tsunade could die if she remains in her coma and Naruto and Sakura will never forgive him if he killed Sasuke. Jay reassured him that it will never happen. He knows he wants to stop Sasuke as bad as him. He stated by saying "Sometimes things don't go the way we want them to.". Lyons knows Jay was right. He looked to his men, talking among themselves, laughing at their jokes, or stories & drilling. He knows they have faith in him and he has faith in them. Deep down, he doesn't want to hurt Sakura and Naruto. Sasuke was their friend, their comrade. And, deep down, he can be saved if he knows the truth. Then, A Clone Trooper of the Coruscant Guard entered the camp of The 1st Militia informing both Lyons and Jay the news of a sudden change. That change was Tsunade, who regained consciousness and will resume her role as Hokage. This brought great relief to Jay and those around him. Word of Tsunade's recovery spread like wildfire. And now, The Hidden Leaf must prepare for war. The troops of The 1st Pennsylvania & The 114th Regiment began drilling & Jay began his training in Lightsaber Combat & as an Assassin. The Clone Garrison train in case of an attack towards the village. Jay, and the other Jedi who which they command their units, observed their training. Once Dooku heard Tsunade regained consciousness, he sent Battle Droids and three Sith Warriors to aid The Akatsuki in their fight. Now, thus begin the countdown to war, The war will go down in history as The Fourth Great Ninja War.
