It didn't take her long to reach out the gates of Konoha and ready to start their journey beginning at the Leaf Highway. She had been awaiting her team's arrival for several minutes before they all arrived simultaneously together. "All right, everyone's here. Let's go. We have no time to waste. Keep up," she ordered before she took off again. They have 3 days before their vessel left to sea and if they missed it, it could take another week before they could request another transport. They had to find this Fuma clan kunochi. She was more or less worried this wasn't going to go as planned. Tracking a shinobi took time and the only clue they had for her location was a country.

As she thought to herself, heading through the course she planned for them, they would reach the Valley of the End by the end of the day. Hopping from tree to tree, she picked up her speed a little bit. She had hoped the other Jonin leader would await for her arrival at the last minute.

Nanami kicks off and stays next to Nori so she could put an answer to Nori's thoughts "Liste Nori, that last mission was a trap from its outset. There was very little we could do." She smiled softly at Nori "It wasn't your fault for what happened. Kotatsu and Akasumi had gotten into our heads. Placed a seed of doubt and darkness within us." She turned her head facing the way they were traveling "Because we had nothing to go on but words. We couldn't help but to act on them. A mistake in the future I won't be making again." Her foot lands on a branch and she keeps pace with the group "As far as Sigmund goes. I don't like to say it, but if I have to choose between losing anyone on my team or killing him.." She goes silent for a moment "I will always choose my team."

She looked down at the ground below her "I really hope I never have to make that decision.." A breeze picks up and branch moves almost hitting Nanami, but she noticed it as she pivoted her foot and spun around the branch. Nanami continued on dodging branches and increasing her speed slightly..

A long breath is relesed from her "I never placed any of the blame on you Nori.. A lot of it was because I was blinded by emotion. If I had been able to see what was going on around us." She stopped herself for a moment "That trap would not have come to pass." She really blamed herself more than she let on. But the events of the last week had help alleviate a lot of that blame "Sigmund is like a brother to me, however he's that sibling that you love, but also hate, and I am saying all of this now. So I don't have it on my mind during the mission." She had decided now would be the best time to let some of the weight she had been carrying around go.

Nanami's mind shifts and she grins "Now that all of that is out of the way. Since we have a few travel days we should talk strategies and formations.." She starts talking strategy so their minds would be on the mission. Now that everything on her mind was out of it, she felt a lot better. The darkness she had felt gathering seemed to wane a bit. Things were a bit clearer.

Shiroma dropped in next to her teammate and nodded to the sensei before turning preparing to leave.  It was a good thing too since there was delay in their teacher’s voice and the group was off again a moment later.  She joined the group in the trees though she was a bit slower at first as she got the hang of moving through the tree branches themselves.

‘You know the branches aren’t as slippery as the ice spires in the training field.’

‘That’s part of the problem I’m having to relearn how much chakra to grip with.’

‘Why? It shouldn't really matter’

‘You want to try?’

‘Sure’

Shiroma paused only a instant as her eyes switched to dark blue and she leapt to the next branch.  It promptly broke the instant her foot touched it.  The amount of chakra she fed into the sole of her foot shattering it on impact.  She was able to reach out grabbing it higher up and use the momentum to swing herself to the next branch.

‘See told you so.’

‘Anyone ever tell you that you’re a brat?’

‘Yes mother and father several times a day.’

Shiroma paused again a wave of sadness coming over her, she had no idea what had happened to her parents when the land of snow had invaded or since then.  Shiroma’s eyes switched back to the ice blue color and she set off again having fallen a little behind her team but putting a little more power into her moves she was able to catch up.  It didn’t take her long to learn the right amount of chakra and was soon up to full speed with her team.

The group continued to move within the branches. She could hear the evident crashes bark behind her, indicating their foreigner genin wasn’t use to using the trees for transportation. ”Shiroma, if the trees are breaking beneath you, you’re expelling too much chakra to your feet. Try a little less,” she said over her shoulder as they continued. It had seemed forever at this point as Sarada could see much further dead ahead. ”We’re getting close to the valley of the end. That’ll be our resting point as we have traveled quite a ways,” she explained. They were doing good on time for the time being but tomorrow she planned to push all of them to travel without stopping. She was worried still about missing their vessel. It wasn’t an option, she thought to herself.

We need to move this along as fast as possible as Nakano Kyoko was kicked out of Squad Delta and we need Fuma in order for her to participate.

Shiroma pushed up to catch up with her team her feet landing on the branches and there being almost no sound at all now.  She was already adjusting the amount of chakra she was using when Sarada called back to her.  “Yes Sensei already working on it…just a little different then the ice spires I practiced on.” Within moments she was moving like she had been trained on trees her whole life even to the point of adding a cushion to her foot falls to allow her to land silently so that the only sound of her passage was the rustle of the leaves.

Having the correct amount of chakra figured out  gave Shiroma the information she needed on how long she could actually keep this up and was a bit surprised how long she could move through the forest.  Without having to add  chakra to keep a grip on a slippery surface made the expenditure minimal to what she was used too.  Taking a half second to let her eyes drift closed again she opened her eyes to their pale ice blue again.  And another branch cracked under her feet.

‘Come on, you saw how I was doing.’

‘Watching the flow and doing it are two different things.’

‘Yeah but at least…’

Another branch but this one was once again silent and the leaves didn’t even rustle this time.

‘Show off.’

There was a soft giggle from Shiroma as she continued easily through the forest with her team till she was told to stop.

Nanami watched Shiroma for a little bit. She was always curious what it would be like to actually have two personalities like she did. It was something Nanami was really curious about. One could say this was the medical shinobi in her showing this curiosity. She did notice and heard when the branch broke. It made her wonder, since up until that point Shiroma was travelling smoothly. That maybe Shiroma let her darker side try. Nanami giggled, though her focus on Shiroma caused her to stumble a little. She recovered by hopping down to a lower branch before getting back up to a higher branch "We shouldn't be to far from the resting point." She looked at Nori and Shiroma with a soft smile.

She thought about the jutsu she wanted to create or learn. Many had to do with the Trio.. Others were medical based.

Eventually she wanted to get a better lay of the land. Nanami hopped up to the top of the tree's and moved along the higher branches as she studied the layout of the forest. She kept herself hidden as she moved, and Looking for potential ambush points. There weren't many obvious ones. After a few minutes she moved back to the lower branches with her team "Sensei, are we on good terms with the Hidden Sound?" She was curious if any of the threats could come from that village.

Just before the Valley of the End came into view, Sarada came to a stop as she scanned the area. Rumor had it that the snow could possibly move in, but she didn't believe it. They weren't brave enough to do so with the current battle going on in Sunagakure. She seemed a tad tired, so this was her resting point as she stared at what use to be the two statues of Madara and Hashirama. Nanami asked if the land of storms were on good terms with them. She nodded. "Yes. They've been monitoring the sea and their border for intruders or neighboring lands joining the enemy. The Land of Fang is doing the same. Unfortunately if something broke out, they'd be hit first so it's our duty to ensure their safety too if something does happen," she explained as she remembered she was the diplomat that they had sent after Kumogakure had been ambushed a year ago. She had traveled to many of the smaller nations for an alliance as the war was deemed officially the Fifth Shinobi World War. "Come. We must set up camp before it gets late," she ordered before taking off again and heading towards the bottom of where the new statue hands were present. Being close to the water allowed for bathing, recreational swimming, possible food gathering, and dry land to set up camp.

Nori had managed to catch up with Nanami after a minute and upon hearing her speak, she turned her eyes towards her. At hearing her say that it wasn't her fault, she turned her head forward to look in the direction she was going. "I know it's not my fault, but...maybe it was in someway. This darkness in Sigmund goes back a lot more than either one of us can imagine. They say he had it within him since the beginning, but I think when I...when I killed his brother, it really offset off and made that darkness grow. I mean, he said that he didn't blame me for how he turned out because he made his own decisions, but still...part of me does feel responsible for how he is right now. Maybe I wasn't entirely to blame, but I feel like I was part of it. I just wish there was something I could have done instead of just idly standing by and doing nothing. Maybe I could have saved him back then, but I couldn't. I won't ever forgive this man and Ryuu for what they have done to take part in making Sigmund's dark side from opening up. I just can't. Normally it's in my nature to forgive, but I can't. Not this time," she told Nanami as she saw them reaching their destination of the gates leading out of Konoha.

"I know you are going to have to do what you have to, Nanami, and I don't blame you for wanting to protect what you have. I don't blame you for what happened to him, either. None of us saw it coming and none of us could have prevented it. That's the realistic aspect of it that I hate to admit, but I believe in Sigmund. I always have and I know he will come back to us. I just have that feeling. He's not completely lost. I just...don't want to lose him like this. I can't. He's too important. If we have to fight him then...I guess we have no other choice, but if it comes down to it, I will take him on myself. I think more of your anger is more directed at Kotatsu more than Sigmund despite them being tied together. That other squad we're meeting...they know nothing of Sigmund and Kotatsu like we do. They don't know what they are getting into and honestly, neither do we, but we have a better chance than them. That's what I want to believe. I believe we can get him back. I just hope that you believe in that, too."

Soon the pair of them and Shiroma landed in front of their sensei and without much hesitance, the group of them took off with Sarada in the direction of the Leaf Highway that would lead them in the course of their destination. First, through the Valley of the End and onward to the Land of Sound where they would catch their vessel at the shore's border. They began to travel lightly on their feet through the branches of the trees in the forest. Luckily for her, her agility had gotten a bit quicker since she trained with Rock Lee and although her ninjutsu was still weak, he had taught her to be quick on her feet as speed was a big key in her Taijutsu. To focus chakra at the soles of her feet to make her movements more fluid like was important. When she looked behind her at Shiroma, she saw that she was landing too heavily on the branches with her feet and just as she was about to speak up, their sensei had spoken up before her telling her to expel less chakra to her feet. Nori pressed her lips together and smiled. "Don't worry, Shiroma. You got this," she said before she looked forward. She could see their destination coming up in the distance. Thank goodness. They had been pushing forward for some time, so it was going to be nice to at least get a little rest before they moved on tomorrow. "Thank goodness we're almost there. I could use a little break." She looked over at Nanami and smiled before she looked forward again. She heard their sensei tell them about being on good terms with the Land of Hidden Sound, which was definitely a good thing, but she made sure to keep in mind that they would have to ensure their safety should something break out. Once Sarada had said those words, they reached the end of the trees and headed down towards the bottom to plant their feet on the ground and make camp for the night.

She nods her head "I hope so to Nori.. I really do.." When she mentioned the part about hating Kotatsu more "It wasn't Sigmund turning on us.. That love/hate feeling has always been there between me and Sigmund.. When you think of the word hate, it's always used in a bad context. They way I use it, its complicated to explain. When using it to explain my feelings." Her eyes lowered "Even I can't explain it at times. As far as Kotatsu. Ire is a better word for my feelings towards him.." She stopped talking as they reached their camping point.

Nanami lands next to Sarada and responds to her previous question "Thats a good thing. I am guessing we should tread carefully from here on out. You never know when or where an enemy will strike." She was stating the obvious, but it was also a way of easing her nerves a little. She hopped down landing on the edge of one of the hands "So this is where Naruto and Sasuke decided things on more than a few occassions." Thinking about it excited her a little. Then it became a little unsettling. "This is a place where the battles shaped the world's history. I wonder if a future battle will lead me to settling something here." The image of that man flashed in her mind for a moment "I have a long way to go before that is possible." She chuckled to herself.

Nanami went about refilling the water supplies that had been consumed, and spent some time using her wind jutsu to gather some fish. She managed to gather more than enough for all four of them. She gathered several medium sized rocks and placed them in a pile where they were planning to camp. Nanami planned to use the stones instead of a fire. She could heat the stones up to replicate the warmth of a fire, and cooking ability. In this valley it would be easy to spot a campfire from a distance. She lands next to Sarada "Water and fish collected for resupplying and dinner, Sensei. I collected rocks that conduct heat, so if we didn't want the light created by a fire. The rocks can create the same amount of heat for warmth, and can be used to cook just like a fire can." She says in a calm and professional tone.

"So how about a quick bath?" She says looking at her teammates. It had been awhile since she had bathed in such pure waters, and she didn't want to bathe alone.

Shiroma dropped to a branch a short ways from her team listening to the discussion about the hidden sound.  She had never run into any of the sound ninja and was rather interested in their ways of controlling chakra but for the moment she needed to just focus on what they were doing which now looked like it was time to set up camp.  She dropped down beside the river on a large rock and sat there for a time just watching.  She was reading the land the set up of the valley as well as just keeping a lookout.  She knew they were still in the land of fire…wait no the land of storm…just how big was this new land of theirs?   Anyway they still need to be careful because they had no idea where the snow shinobi were going to be.

Her mind wandered slightly over some of the ideas she had for how to fight with her bow either taijutsu or ninjutsu.

‘Why are you just thinking of those two? I mean what about genjutsu? I have several ideas of how ice can be use for them.’

‘I’m shocked you could even think about that…after what happened to us.’

‘So? Just because we got burned doesn’t mean that its not a useful…’

‘I’m not going to practice it okay…I just…I’m not ready…’

There was a moment of silence which in a mind occupied by two different personalities was a rare occurrence.

‘Sorry…I won’t bring it up again.’

Shiroma reached up brushing a tear that was threatening to fall from her eye. Trying to fight back the memories of her former teammates and what the genjutsu had forced her to do. After a moment of composing herself she hopped down with the rest of her squad as Nanami was coming back with the fish.  "The valley appears secure for the moment Sensei I didn't see anyone coming." She heard the suggestion of a bath and bit her lip thinking about it.  "Once we get settled in, sure!"

"I know the kind of relationship you had with Sigmund. I really believe that he cared about you, too, Nanami. You were...are...somebody important to him. I know you guys tended to disagree with each other and fought a lot, but I don't believe people would do that if they didn't care about each other. He may have overreacted on some occasions, but on others...I didn't completely disagree with him, but Sigmund has been through a lot in his life and I really just think he needed someone there for him to listen. I've tried, but with me...things are different. But with you...you are someone he respects and trusts. Maybe not so much at the end, but I believe deep down, he still does. There are things that both of us did that we wished we could take back and that we hope he'll forgive us for, but we can't really dwell on that, can we?" Nori said as the two of them landed on the ground a short distance away from Sarada and Shiroma. "With how Sigmund is now...I don't know if he'll ever truly forgive us, but we can hope, can't we? One day he'll come back and when he does, we'll fight for him because that is what he would do for us." Nori knew she couldn't speak much more on the manner of Sigmund as their sensei was around, so she doubted she would want to hear anything pertaining to him. Those kind of conversations needed to be saved when her and Nanami had time to themselves.

Once her friend disappeared, Nori went to work on taking off her bag and looked over the land. It really was amazing how much history this ground had. Would it be another place they would have to fight on once more? She hoped it wouldn't come to that. She lightly sighed before she set her bag down on the floor and laid out her sleeping bag near the pile of rocks that Nanami was now setting up to help create a fire. Or at least that was what it looked like. She felt a soft, gentle breeze brush past her and ruffled the leaves on the nearby bushes and tree leaves. She lightly folded her arms across her chest and blew air into her hands. It was a little bit chilly out tonight, wasn't it? "Well, I certainly could use a warm bath that's for sure. Might warm us up a bit," she said as she looked over at Nanami when she suggested taking a quick bath. "The waters aren't too far from here, right?"

For the most part, Sarada had kept to herself when arriving in the ground. She tried her best to ignore the conversations that erupted between the group about their former teammate. It wasn’t her business to get involved and she had her orders. They all settled down; Nanami was quick to gather their meal for the evening, a way to start their fire, and settled up their area for rest. She had merely nodded as the suggestion for a bath was thrown into the air.

Sarada had started the fire by placing the rocks in a circle and piled them up neatly. Using her fire release slightly, she heated up the rocks. Pulling out a scroll, she unrolled it, placed it onto the ground and unsealed it. A small puff of smoke could be seen as her bed roll and a backpack appeared. Carrying these supplies was a hassle for her in her opinion so by sealing them, it was simple and she didn’t have to worry about it.

As the girls did their thing, Sarada could be seen walking across the water gracefully as she knelt down in front of the remains of the fallen statues and began meditating or as if praying in front of them.

Nanami did more or less the same as Sarada as far as setting up her camping stuff. She took a scroll out and summoned her bedroll, and a smaller bag. It had a towel, toothbrush, soap and such. She set her bedroll and looked at the water. At first she just dangled her feet in the water next to their camp. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't warm. Though she thought about using her fire jutsu to warm up a small area of the water. She looked over the edge it was about four feet deep where she was. She pondered going for a swim "Hmm, it isn't often you can take a swim or bath in these waters. Bath first." She wasn't planning on getting nude. She hoped down into the water in her shorts and bra. She would remove what needed to be removed and washed what needed to be washed. Her shorts and bra go back on and she grabs her t-shirt from the shore "It's actually pretty comfortable. You two should enjoy yourselves. This will likely be your last chance until we get back from this mission."

Nanami sits down cross legged on the top of the water. The water was placid and clear, except near the waterfall. She decided a little light training wouldn't hurt. She stands up on the water. She looked down and smiled, remembering the dance with her flame and wind jutsu. That she displayed on their first training day "It's strange how just little things can bring some of the happier memories to the forefront." She looked at Shiroma and Nori with a smile.

Nori noticed the way that their sensei had gone off on her own and left the three of them alone to go meditate near the statues. Looks like she wanted to be on her own for awhile. She turned her head and looked back over at Nanami as she set out her things by the fire. The water looked relaxing enough. She crouched down and touched the water. It was luke warm for the most part, but she figured if she needed to, she could use her fire to heat things up a bit if it got too cold. She stood up to her feet and sighed. "Guess we better enjoy the water while we can, huh?" she said as she began to slowly strip herself of her shoes and clothes. Underneath she had a pair of black spandex boy shorts and a similar cloth to cover her bosom. She grabbed what she needed from her bag, including that of her soap, towel, toothbrush, and clothes before she headed over to the edge of the water and set her belongings  down. She down on the edge of a rock and slowly dipped one leg in the water before settling into it and letting herself be submerged. The water felt cool against her skin, but warmed her up as her body adjusted to it.

After a minute of staying under, Nori slowly emerged before coming up out of the water and catching her breath. She let out a small sigh before she pushed her hands through her wet hair  and dipped her head back into the water. "This feels so good," she said before she got onto her back and began to float. Her eyes stared up at the stars that were starting to come out up in the sky. When she heard Nanami say how little things can bring back happy memories, Nori closed her eyes and remembered the time her and Sigmund had bathed in one of the hot springs back in the cave on their last mission. She remembered vividly of the things that were said and how he looked. She remembered every crevice. Every line on his face. The way he looked at her when he told her that he loved her. She brought up her left hand and lightly touched her lips. Despite how much time had passed, she could still feel the warmth of his lips on her's as they exchanged kiss after kiss in that hot spring. It made her smile and it made her heart feel light. 'Sigmund...' she thought his name silently to herself. 'Wherever you are right now...know that I love you.' Nori knew it wasn't possible for him to hear her thoughts, but somehow she hoped that he would feel her in some way. She hoped that despite what happened to him, he still held her in his heart somewhere.

It wasn’t long before she almost felt that time had stayed still as she continued to meditate alone. However something felt off as she reopened her eyes, her Sharingan revealing itself. Knowing the girls were having their bath time, they needed to be aware as well. She rose to her feet, looking straight at the remains of the statue, upon the newly constructed seal of reconciliation, there he was. ”So..you finally show up,” she uttered, knowing he could hear her clear as them. But he wasn’t alone though.

Kotatsu and Sigmund Uchiha; they finally made their appearance.

   Everything had felt real and incredible as ever. The new surge of power that flowed through his very veins from his genes had been something he yearned for for a very long time. With the added new darkness whisping around him and his heart added more to his immense power. After he and Kotatsu had parted from the land of frost shores, it wasn’t long until their master greeted them, accepting Sigmund into his new forces. Their new orders were to attack the capitals and weaken the countries by any means. With their new orders Kotatsu and Sigmund did just that. It came naturally as he teamed up with his long lost brother as they managed to simultaneously conquerored each capital. Only the ruins of Kumogakure signaled the panic over the world. Iwagakure had been fairly even more easy to demolish as they used their mass army to destroy everything in his path, bringing down mountains of triumph. Kirigakure was left underwater; using the newly found chakra resource from within him, the giant tsunami had washed away any life that could’ve been inhabiting there. Sunagakire had been weakened by the mass battlefield however was still standing as the weather conditions proved to be difficult for their forces.

   Upon returning as requested, it wasn’t long before he was informed of a new nation rising to the ranks to restore hope in the world. It was officially declared that the fifth shinobi world war began and their forces only grew. They were sent to investigate this new country that claimed to be the land of storms and to his non existent surprise, he stood at the valley of the end with his brother in tow and they witness a group of shinobi heading their way. What was suppose to be a scouting and retrieval mission, ending up turning into one dreadful reunion.

   He stood there on the statue that bared the deal of reconciliation, the symbol of peace between two rivals, as he watched the group get comfortable. It wasn’t long before their presence had been known by the jounin leader as she acknowledged their presence finally. He remained quiet as he stared down at the leader and noticed three more familiar faces, an expressionless face permanently imbedded to his face. They were his enemies and he had not thought about either of them since the day he separated himself from them.

It was as she was floating there in the water that she suddenly felt her body pulsate. Something in the air came on strong. This chakra...she knew it. She felt it before. Her eyes opened wide. "Sigmund," she said aloud before she stood up in the water. Her gaze shifted around until she caught sight of their sensei and there perched upon the statue was Kotatsu and... "Sigmund!" She quickly moved over towards the edge of the water and hurriedly got out of it. She scrambled to get what clothes she could get back on as she made her way towards where their sensei had been meditating on the water. That had to be him, right? It had to be. There was no mistaking it. He was here. She knew that Sarada didn't want them to engage with him or with Kotatsu, but he was just...so close. Nori soon came to a halt by the water's edge as she stared off in the direction of their sensei and the two brothers.

The moment Nanami heard Sarada say that, and Nori shout his name. She turned and looked up "Great and here I was in a good mood." Nanami sighed, she had not wanted this combat yet. She needed more strength for this. Last time even with Sigmund's strength, and the strength of four opened gates. They weren't able to defeat Kotatsu. Now she looked at both of them "So what now Sensei? I doubt you can take them both. Also I doubt they are just going to leave." The place and timing wasn't the greatest, and all of the rumors going around. Both Kotatsu and Sigmund were likely to be equal now. With the exception that Kotatsu has the Mangekyou Sharingan "Careful Kotatsu has the Mangekyou Sharingan." She says this in a soft voice. Just audible enough for Sarada to hear. Nanami  turns her head so her lips could not be read.

All sorts of feelings ran through her, and she looked at her teammate "Nori, it's pointless to shout out to him. In that state I doubt his feelings for you are present. You should be preparing to fight. Since I doubt there is another option."

Nanami forms up on Sarada awaiting orders. This is why she wanted a plan -"Sensei wasn't planning on having to fight them both. One on one I know she could take either one of them. But both of them is a huge handicap. I wonder what her orders will be. Or if this was expected from the beginning."- She thought to herself. She was in a defensive stance.

Her eyes lock on both of them -"Now what will you two do?"-

Nanami is readying the Sharingan activation should she need to prevent a Genjutsu from affecting her.

Time almost seemed to be on repeat as the constant warfare took place across the world. Serving personally under The Man was exciting. Every hour there was something new to do. Life as he knew it was completely different when compared to his former life. The fateful day changed not only him but his perception on life and family. Seeing no hope, they decided to terminate his life, cutting any chance to possibly recover. However the story remained true: no sign of activity. After he had been unplugged, left in the morgue, The Man had showed up and kidnapoed the lifeless body to Sunagakure. There The Man had found small cell signs of life. Using unknown means, Ryuu had been brought back from the dead, something that rarely happened in the shinobi world as reanimating a body was highly forbidden.

With his resurrection, a new identity had been placed into him. Kotatsu. Any memory of Ryuu ceased to exist. Kotatsu was a ruthless Sunagakure genin who fought with aggression and irrational decisions. Having been removed and placed in many squads until he was placed under Captain Yamachi. There he had been grouped with a young girl and a fellow named Suzuki Kai. During a training exercise, Kotatsu recklessly and carelessly caused his teammates blindness. A made-up kekkei genkai controlled his anger and thus he fled Sunagakure. Somewhere deep down had told him to pursue The Man again and thus he found him.

The Man revealed everything from the source of power and it’s contents, all its secrets and embedded Kotatsu with the great power that The Man wielded. It lit the inner darkness from inside that eventually awoken his true identity and all his former history with the land of fire. With this new knowledge, he wanted to pursue his own goals of finding him and taking what he deserved: revenge and fulfilling the destiny of The Man.

Destruction was impeding as he was enrolled into the chunin exams at Kumogakure after helping The Man capture one of the most peaceful and quiet countries in the world. In his absence, The Man had killed that poor beautiful heiress that was their daimyo since young Naruto’s mission decades ago. A new daimyo had been appointed, The Man working as his right hand man until his siege of the village and then the entire land. As his prisoner the rest of the events played out fairly well without a tip off to no one with such a secluded island.

The Chunin exams had been fairly easy with his squad as he personally sacrificed his comrades for his own gains. The destruction of the stadium, capturing the Kages, innocents dying fulfilled their needs to show dominance in the world.

The Man’s goals changed when he announced Sigmund’s importance and role for this. They made it their personal mission to cause such havoc and cause the creation of the weapon of destruction that is Sigmund today when those fateful confrontations took place in the land of frost. Losing one of their own commanders, it was well worth the price for Sigmund’s exchange.

The destruction of the capitals was even more exciting as he finally got to work side by side his own blood. The success was thrilling enough that is was almost sadistic to know they caused such mass destruction. They had been ordered to scout out this new rumored land of storms and they made the mistake of stopping at the valley of the end.

Here they are now, looking down at Sigmund’s old comrades with their new replacement for him. With his arms crossed, he looked down and smirked. ”Well, well. Look at that,” he uttered to Sigmund.

Sarada looked behind her when Nanami asked what she was going to do. She smirked before looking back at the boys before her. They stared down, looking straight at her. They seemed to ignore the other three that were present. ”I’m insulted by your lack of faith in me, Nanami,” she commented. Nanami warned her of the possibility of a confrontation with the mangekyo sharingan that this Kotatsu possessed. The situation had been interesting. She knew of their presence before they arrived. She heard the rumors of their possible whereabouts and took the risk of encountering them. She had hoped this didn’t come down to a confrontation however with all of their restrictions, Sarada was on her own in this other wise she’d had no choice but to attack her own team to prevent her team’s contact with them. ”You both have a lot of nerve presenting yourself like this knowing very well this can only end in death,” she told them, a stern look on her face.

   Sigmund’s eyes glanced at all four of the girls before him, particularly noticing most of them stared at him in anticipation for a confrontation to break out any second. The silence grew more between them even after Sarada sent a weak threat of death to them. He had no clue who this new woman was but whomever she was, she seemed confident in her abilities to take them both on. He remained quiet more before smirking. ”I will go as I please,” he stated. ”Your pathetic attempt of a threat simply means nothing to me,” he replied back. ”The only death that takes place here is you,” he threatened back. His threat came out like poison, having no remorse that his former team was right below him.

Nori looked over at Nanami upon hearing her say that it was pointless to call out to him as his feelings for her weren't at all present. Instead she should be focused on preparing for a fight. She lightly scowled at her teammate. "You don't think I know that already?" she told her in a harsh whisper as she went to stand on Sarada's other side before looking back at Sigmund and Kotatsu. It had felt like forever since she had last seen Sigmund's face. Only now it was more cold and expressionless than it was before. She kept her gaze firm on him. She knew she had to be prepared to fight Sigmund should she have run into them, but they weren't to engage with either of them until that other squad arrived. She suspected that their sensei had already been prepared in case something like this were to have happened. In fact, she probably anticipated it would. And she expected that they weren't going to be able to just walk out of this. Nori curled her hands into fists at her sides as their sensei spoke up to the two brothers. Her eyes glanced back at Shiroma close by before she looked back to them just in time to hear Sigmund speak. To hear him speak in such a way with a devious smirk on his face... "We don't want to fight you, Sigmund..." she suddenly spoke. "...but we will if we must."

Sarada looked behind her when she heard Nori speak about engaging with them. She turned around, her eyes narrowed at them all. ”None if you will engage in battle. That’s an order. Make a move and I’ll kill you myself,” she told them. They very well knew their restrictions. There was no we in this situation today. She faved back at the two boys. ”You obviously didn’t come here for a simple chat. Enlighten me: what do you want?” she asked. The faster she could get them out of here, the sooner that her team could be at ease. She dreaded the thought of having to attack the girls but she would have no choice. Lord Sasuke made it very clear that if they made contact through means of a battle, automatically they would be deemed as missing-nun and as her duty, she’d have to kill them on site. She knew very well neither of them could handle the immsense force they could unleash here.

Kotatsu laughed as the treats were exchanged between the two groups. ”Hey Sigmund; isn’t that the pathetic, runt of a girl you dumped? She still running her mouth,” he commented as he stepped a bit closer. ”You still think you can defeat us? You are all fools to believe in such a thing, especially you girl,” he shouted. Nori has always been the one deemed as weak as she had failed in every aspect to save her precious Sigmund. They all knew she’d never be able to touch either one of them. They had range, she didn’t. ”Give me the word and I’ll destroy her once and for all,” he added, beginning to crackle his knuckles in preparation. It also seemed their new leader also was against a fight. It would certainly give them the advantage of their own sensei attacked.
