Northern Skies **Naruto**

Chapter Eleven

Alex

I sat there watching as Itachi left in a flash of bright light. My body returning to it's normal state I let my horns and scales disappear. 

"What am I?" Duckbutt asked as I raised my head. The wall behind me suddenly cracked, leaving me with about two seconds before I fell on me. Standing up I jumped out of the way just as to ninja walked in. 

"Found you!" The white haired one said as I raised an eyebrow. 

"You guys?" He asked as I started to wobble a bit. 

"I'll be back..." I said as falling flat on my face. 

Sasuke

I was surprised when Suigetsu and Jugo arrived I didn't notice that Alex had even reverted to her human form. "I'll be back..." I heard her say from behind me. Looking behind me I saw her fall to the ground, her white hair around her. Running over I checked her pulse and temp making sure she was okay, thankfully she was. 

"What're you doing here?" One asked as I propped her against one of the rocks. 

"Stopping the Reanimation." I said as they looked confused. 

"Oh well you were always like that." Suigetsu said as looking over to Alex. "And you never explain things like that to people. Anyway, who is that?" He finished asking as I narrowed my eyes. 

"This is Alex Shimo." I said as he made a choking noise. 

"You mean the one that died?" Jugo asked as I nodded. "How is she still here than?" He asked as I nodded. 

"I don't know but I plan on finding that out." I said as the dust cleared revealing Kabuto. "It was Kabuto who used the Reanimation jutsu." I said as Suigetsu saw Kabuto. 

"So this is Kabuto. He's kind of gross, huh." I watched as Suigetsu knelt in front of Kabuto. Taking my chance I sat down on the rocks behind me and laid Alex next to me. "This one coming out of his gut looks like a huge-" He said as I interrupted him. 

"Leave him be." Turning to towards Jugo, I saw him in front of Anko. "She's alive." 

"What do you want with me at this point?" I asked as raising my hand. "Why'd you go out of your way to look for me?"

"Oh, yeah!" Suigetsu said as showing his sharp teeth. "That's right. See... We found something incredible in one of the hideouts." He started to dig through his coat as I narrowed my eyes. 

"Now let's see..." Walking towards me he stopped for a second. 

"Earlier, you said that you and Itachi stopped the Reanimation, right?" Jugo said as picking up Anko and walking over. "But I don't think it worked on the reanimated Madara." My eyes widened as I looked over to Alex. I remembered what Itachi told me. 

"I see." I said as looking at Alex. "But does that mean Alex can control hers too?" I said to myself. 

"I'm talking to Sasuke! Don't interrupt me. Anyway, never mind that. Look!" He said as sticking a scroll out to me. "Look, look!" Taking the scroll I opened it and read it. 

"See! Amazing, right?!" Suigetsu said as I continued to read. "With this, we Taka can rule the shinobi world!" 

"This is it..." I said as looking up. "The human who's all-knowing... I have to meet up with someone." I said as standing up. "I'm leaving."

"Huh? Who?" Suigetsu asked as I looked at him. 

"Oroshimaru." I said as he freaked out. 

"You killed him!" He said as I looked up at Anko. "Are you really surprised someone as tenacious as Orochimaru might not be killed so easily?" Looking at her curse mark I closed my eyes. "Even if I do find him vile... I need him to do something for me. It's time to see the all-knowing."
