Gaara's Wolf - Thrust into the Naruto World

Chapter 35

I didn't stick around for much of the war meeting, leaving as soon as it was announced that I had free reign to be wherever I wanted when I wanted. The other Kage had decided to trust me to do whatever I needed to make the future better.

The first place I went was the headband stand to trade out my Suna headband for a Shinobi one. Then, I just found Sai and hung out with him. One of the first things I told him about was my engagement to Gaara. We had talked about Gaara and my future before, so he wasn't surprised.

Either way, he still wrote out a threat to Gaara with his chakra ink, warning him of the consequences for hurting me. It was a little over the top and very descriptive, but it was proof of how much I ment to Sai, who was using unnecessary chakra just before a WAR to do what every brother would do. Eh, I'd probably end up doing the same to Ino in the future when they decide to get hitched. Sai and I were both very protective of the family we collected, after all.

All too soon, the orders came for everyone to join their platoons. I decided to stick with Gaara's. His group fights several Kage as well as the reanimated Madara. They would definately need the most help. Ar least until I run off to help Naru and Bee. And so, the 4th Great Shonobi World War began.

All too soon, we had to start fighting. I flew up to the front with Gaara and Onoki, waiting for the attack. The former Mizukage, Tsuchikage, Raikage, and Kazekage were all there, but didn't want to fight us. In the beginning, I mostly hung back. Gaara's fight with his father was something he needed to do for himself. I only interrupted in the beginning, when Gaara's father expressed his surprise that Gaara had friends.

"Hey, don't talk my fiance down. He has many people in his life who love him."

Unfortunately, I was ignored right after I said that, Gaara using my distraction to begin his attack.

After that was done, I summoned the wolf pack, telling them to spread out and help whoever needs it. While they were doing that, I hung back and started gathering nature energy. I would need to be able to use sage mode for as long as possible. I didn't want ObiTobi or Madara to find out about my failed beast modes until I had to.

I blocked out all the fighting around me, focusing only on my chakra and the nature around me. I didn't have to worry about getting hurt. Gaara's mother might have been protecting him with the sand, but Shukaku could do just the same for me. Especially since he liked me and wanted to keep me safe.

When I zoned back on to the world around me, I had to jump up and fly out of the way. The sand might protect me from most things, but not from the more powerful attacks. Naruto had just showed up and thrown a rasenshuriken at Madara, making him get the rinnegan, and I was a bit too close for comfort. (I'm not sure if this is right, but I don't have the time to look up everything.)

Madara's change from mangekyo sharingan to Rinnegan happened just a little while before the other Kages showed up to help fight Madara. The War was much to hectic and chaotic for me to change a lot. I might have the potential to be as strong or stronger than Madara, but it still takes too long to switch between kekkei genkai or dojutsu.

I also couldn't use the Rinnegan because he had already seen my eyes and I still wanted to be able to use it to surprise him later, when he couldn't take my eyes. Either way, I had been doing a lot of thinking while I was meditating, and found out a way that I could save everyone.

The only problem was that, if I wanted to be able to use it, I would have to wait until the war is over. Which means that right now my top priority is to stay alive and keep my eyes firmly in MY head. I couldn't risk anything that might make Madara want to steal them, so I couldn't use any dojutsu and had to stick with one kekkei genkai.

Since it would be too much of a stretch for me to be able to use wood style (and would probably keep his eye on me instead of the Kages), I would have to stick with another powerful style. I decided o stick with Shikotsumyaku, bone style.

As Madara created giant boulders in the sky to crush us all, I did what I had to, but managed to save two people next to me as well. I surrounded us in my bones, ignoring the pain of them piercing through my skin, and created a hard, thick barrier with a pointed top around us.

After the crashing and rumbling from outside stopped, I grabbed them and used the hirraishin fo teleport to Naruto, one of the people I knew were out of the blast range. I let go of the shinobi, ordering them to glance as many people as they could from the rubble before leaving for the medical center. No one but the Kages, Naruto, and I were allowed to stay.

They rushed off to complete their task, leaving with far less than a quarter of the shinobi this group started with. I refused to feel guilty over the fact that my self made restrictions caused more people to die. I had to follow them to save the most people I could after the war.

I was beginning to rethink my plan. I hadn't factored in the amount of chakra I needed in order to complete it. The best thing for me to do is use as little chakra as possible, saving it for my jutsu after the war. Meaning I couldn't fight with the Kage or against ObiTobi anyway.

The best bet for the survival of the most people would be for me to stay behind in the command center. Then, I could save everyone there when the tailed beast bomb hits it and kills everyone. I quickly turn to Naru, explaining everything to him. He agreed that I should stay out of the major fights.

It was what Gaara wanted as well. My paranoid fiance was sure that I'd do something stupid and kill myself. Not that he was wrong. My plan right now might end up killing me. Death by chakra exhaustion, what a boring way to go.

I quickly flew away, but not the way Naru and Gaara thought I was going. Command center wouldn't be in danger until shortly before Sasuke joined the troops, so I would hang out with him in the Uzumaki compound before hirraishining to central command. I wanted to meet the previous Kages as well before taking off.
