Sasuke and the Mizukage disappeared into the corridor, we couldn't see them either. A wall of dried lava stood in our way.

"What an interesting kekkei genkai," I nodded my head in approval just as a sword came swinging at my head, "what—!"

My vision blacked and I found myself looking out of my place in the tree trunk.

"Man someone wrecked my link," I muttered to myself before deciding to just wait, "not like I can do anything either way."

After a while someone came out and shouted my name so I stepped out the tree and looked at the girl from earlier today. She beckoned me to follow her, I did and then found myself in the room with all the Kages and their two guards. Everyone looked at me.

"You're that girl," the Mizukage pointed out, I nodded.

"This time in my blood form—real body here—and not a dozen vines, so please keep all sharp objects away. May I ask who sliced me in half, hm?" I questioned.

"That would be me, I apologise," the blue haired swordsman apologised to me, I remember him to be Chojuro. Or something like that, who knows with the weird names that the Naruto characters actually have.

"You're safe," Gaara commented, I didn't know how to respond so I just nodded and walked over to them, sitting on one of the few desks that were still stable.

Seems he and the siblings are done trying to speak sense into Sasuke now.

"What happened in here?" I questioned.

"Sasuke and Madara Uchiha," the Raikage told me. I nodded and glared at the floor.

"The Fourth Shinobi War is upon us then," I announced and looked back up to see them all looking at me shocked, "there's no point denying such a fate. It's just the way our world is going."

They all looked away, obviously they knew I was right.

"So what's the plan?" I asked, they all looked at me again and started explaining everything.

How they were going to have Killer B, the eight tails, and Naruto, the nine tails, go into hiding and that Kakashi Hatake would be the news conductor, a main line of contact if you will, between everyone.

"I saw Kakashi Hatake and the nine tails brat on my way here," the Raikage announced, I hummed in thought as I remembered the conversation between the two of them. Naruto was begging him to forgive Sasuke and take the bounty off his head. The Raikage declined, of course.

"They may still be here," he continued.

"Wait—I'll check," I announced as if I didn't already know that they were, in fact, still here. I shut my eyes and let out a small steady breath, "natural surveillance jutsu, leaf whisper jutsu."

My sight and hearing was ripped away from my body as I moved through each of the trees, looking around until I came across a village. I found myself staring at the inn where Naruto was. He was sat on a roof with a gaping hole in and wooden pillars sticking out while Captain Yamato and Kakashi were apologising to the owner about the damage.

Seems they've already met 'Madara' then.

I laughed at the sight a little.

"Release."

My senses returned to my body, everyone looking at me expectantly.

"They're still here, and Naruto looks incredibly angry. 'Madara' Uchiha must've spoken to him before he spoke to you 5 and your guards. He's gathering sage mode," I told them all, "shall I send out a messenger?"

"No. We will go meet them," Kankuro declined, I nodded.

"We?" I questioned, "as in us four?"

"Yes," Temari nodded, as I sensed something.

"Where's Danzo?" I asked, everyone looked away annoyed, "I see so the people who just left the land were him and the Mizukage's other guard. Ao, was it?"

She nodded.

Everyone started talking about the allied shinobi forces. Coming to new conclusions until Mifune announced the samurai would help out.

"Someone's just come here. A squad of four, I recognise them," I announced, everyone looked at me curiously, "four leaf shinobi... They're with... Yes. They're with Naruto, Kakashi and Captain Yamato."

Kiba, Sakura, Lee, and Sai.

"Scratch that there's four and a ninja hound," I sighed.

"With that sensing, can you find my little brother?" the Raikage asked, I looked at him in thought.

"I can try but, it might take a long time," I replied. Actually, he's in the Land of Iron too so it shouldn't be too hard.

I remember, his fight between him and Kisame should be happening soon—or perhaps it's already happening.

Anyway, I need to play dumb now. So, here we go.

"May I see a photo of him?" I asked, the Raikage's blonde guard nodded and showed me a photo. This is so stupid, I hate pretending to be dumb.

Closing my eyes and sitting crossed legged, I ignore everything happening around me as they started deciding who will lead the allied shinobi forces and vines started crawling across the floors, up the walls and out to the Land of Iron as I had my soul jump around the plants.

Naruto is over there with Kakashi, Yamato, Sakura, Sai, Lee and Kiba. That's the mini village in the North.

So Killer B should be in the forest to the south.

Just as I thought, there he was, fighting Kisame with some lively guy and an oversized raccoon thing.

I sat and watched the fight.

Someone was shaking my real body so I snapped back.

"I know where he is," I nodded, "well... Kind of. He's fighting a member of the Akatsuki, Kisame, I believe his name was. The one with the big sword."

"Alright, let's go to Naruto now," Gaara grabbed my wrist.

"Wait where is he?" The Raikage shouted.

"Hard to say, he's in a forest somewhere here in the Land of Iron. South from here," I shouted back before I was dragged completely out of sight.

"Time to move," I nodded as we left the warm building andstarted running through the snow. Sliding down it like we would with the sandin the desert.
