Strategist from the heavens (Tales of a gutsy ninja 3)

Prologue

Gaara P.O.V

'Let's change the world... together'

My vision cleared and I finally woke up. The first thing that entered my sight was the look of relief on Chiyo obaa-sama's face.

Chiyo: Gaara... you're finally awake.

It felt like an eternity had passed. Aira's fight with Kakeru resulted in a stalemate when Aira fainted and Kakeru withdrew from the match.

Aira slipping into a coma came as an immense shock.

If falling into a coma was bad, it was rendered worse by the fact that it was extremely ill-timed.

In an unexpected turn of events, I went to Aira's world to save her. All the pain and anxiety that I went through was worth it...it showed me just how much hardwork she had put in to protect this world.

It wasn't just her knowledge or her skills as a strategist that made her special - she had an indomitable will and the courage to see her plans to the end.

Gaara: Aira...Chiyo obaa-sama, is Aira awake?

She gave me a worried look.

"Gaara, it's better you have a look at her first..."

I nodded quietly and walked over to her bed. She was sleeping peacefully. The injuries that she had sustained during her fight with Kakeru had disappeared without a trace.

Aira was still sleeping peacefully. It would definitely take her time for her mind to...reboot - as they called it in her world.

The entirety of afternoon was spent in  the medical examination hall where Chiyo obaa-sama made sure that both Aira and I were physically and mentally well.

We were both back in this world. Back to continue our mission...to unite the world and bring peace.

Chiyo: Gaara, it's going to be an insane journey from now on...and it will be an impossible journey of you both don't work together.

I could sense worry in obaa-sama's voice. These three months... something major must have happened...else she wouldn't be so worried.

Gaara: Is there something wrong?

Chiyo: I believe Uchiha Itachi would be the right person to answer that question.

That evening, I met Itachi in what used to be Aira's study. The place looked like it had been ransacked.

From what I hear, obaa-sama and others had tried to decipher Aira's books, in the hope that they would be able to save the world with the wisdom it contained...but it turns out, that the only one who would be able to read it...was Aira.

Itachi pulled out the map of the world and pointed at the huge amount red marking on it.

What he said next, was something that I could have never seen coming.

'It isn't an underestimation to say that Madara has taken over the world.'

(A/N: this prologue is meant to bridge the gap between the second and the third book.

' Tales of a Gutsy Ninja - extra' -which consists of Gaara's adventures in Aira's world- will be out soon.

Until then enjoy the third book in the 'Tales of a Gutsy Ninja' series.)

~excerpt from the book~

"Listen to me, members of the allied shinobi nations. Today we shall fight. For victory, courage, bravery, love and most of all...freedom.

  I, Ryuugamine Aira, request of you to carry out my orders exactly as I say. For today we shall have a battle of a different kind. We shall fight the infamous Uchiha Madara. We shall fight the one eyed Uchiha- Obito.

We shall fight god itself and yet in this battle, we shall achieve the unthinkable.

A war with no death.

A war after which men would happily go back to the families.

The women who waited in anxiety, will welcome them back.

All those who fought in this war would tell this to their children as a legendary tale.

This, I swear this upon the book by the late legendary sannin, Jiraiya 'Tales of a gutsy Ninja'.

Peace shall come to this world.

And we, the allied shinobi nations, will be the ones to usher it."
