Sasuke had made his way towards the battle field as Satoshi and Maasaki stayed behind to talk about forming a plan with just the two of them. Sasuke felt a little left out, but he trusts Satoshi with his plans.

"Sasuke?" Ino said, shocked. "Sasuke!"

She tried to run towards the ravened haired male, but Shikamaru held her back.

"We don't know where he stands Ino, for all we know, he could still be dangerous." he said.

Everyone eyed Sasuke as he ignored their eyes and looked towards Naruto.

"A lot of things happened, but I decided to protect the village anyways." he said. "And then... I will.. become the next Hokage."

"EH?!" everyone shouted.

"YOU CAN'T JUST GO ROUGE AND TRY TO COME BACK TO THE VILLAGE AND CLAIM THAT YOU WILL BECOME THE NEXT HOKAGE AFTER ALL YOU'VE DONE!" Kiba shouted.

"Being Hokage isn't about your-"

"Ohayou.." a voice interrupted Sasuke.

"Satoshi, it's the afternoon." another voice said.

"Oh..." Satoshi muttered. ".. Kon'nichiwa there, is that better?"

"Yup!"

'Idiots..' Sasuke thought to himself.

"Is that.. Satoshi?" Sakura asked.

"And there's an Akatsuki member!" Kiba said.

Everyone got into a fighting stance besides Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura. They eyed both of them as if they would attack at any second.

"I don't know about you Maasaki... but I feel a lot of hostility towards us." Satoshi said.

"Well, that's not very nice.." Maasaki pouted. "And here we are trying to help."

"Help us?" Shikamaru said. "You're both members of the Akatsuki!"

"This is unbelievable!" Kiba said. "First Sasuke who went rouge who now wants to be Hokage, but now two members of the Akatsuki wants to us? I don't understand of this!"

"You don't have to understand, just accept it." Satoshi said. "Besides, you're going to need all the help you can get."

"I can trust Satoshi.. a bit, but I don't trust that blue haired guy!" Kiba exclaimed.

"Maasaki can help us."

All of a sudden a kunai was heading straight towards Maasaki. They were aiming it between his eyes until it was deflected by Satoshi. Satoshi now stood in front of Maasaki and won't allow anyone to harm him.

"I assure you, Maasaki is on side." Satoshi said.

Maasaki blushed a bit of how Satoshi was defending him. But he doesn't know why he was blushing, perhaps it was because he was embarrassed.

"I don't trust him!" Choji said. "He could attack us when our backs are turned!"

"I agree with Choji." Ino said. "I love you Satoshi, but I'm not sure about this guy."

"No Maasaki, no me.." Satoshi said sternly.

'Oh man, my face feels like a tomato! He's really trying to defend me! I can't!' Maasaki thought to himself. 'I'm not a child!'

Maasaki covered his face with his arm and allowed his sleeve to hide his face.

"You okay Maasaki?" Satoshi asked.

Maasaki froze in place before nodding his head furiously.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me!" he said rather quickly.

"They didn't hurt your feelings did they?" Satoshi asked concerned.

"N-No!" Maasaki said. "I was second in command of the Akatsuki! I think I can handle a few insults!"

"No need to be defensive Maasaki, just checking with your mental state." Satoshi said.

"Like you ever cared about my mental state.." Maasaki muttered to himself.

"What was that Ito?" Satoshi threatened.

"N-Nothing!"

'He's threatening... just like him.'

The others around them began to look at them with disbelief. They were talking as if no one was around or that there wasn't any crisis that was happening.

"Unbelievable.." Ino groaned.

"What a drag..." Shikamaru sighed. "But we're going to need Satoshi. So we'll have to accept that an Akatsuki member is on our side."

"What!" Kiba shouted. "You can't be serious!"

"Shikamaru is right, Kiba." Naruto said. "Satoshi is strong and with the help of Maasaki here, I think we may have a higher chance at winning this battle. Besides, we need all the help we can get."

"Keh, alright, but I got my eyes on him." Kiba said.

"Good, now we can actually get down to business." Satoshi said. "You ready Maasaki?"

Maasaki looked a bit unsure. His heart began to pound in fear. He didn't want to go up against Obito, nor did he want to go up against Madara Uchiha. Satoshi looked at his partner and observed his facial expression. Seeing the fear was evident on his face, he places a hand on his shoulder, which caught Maasaki's attention.

"There's no need to be afraid Maasaki.." he said softly. "Every step you take on that battlefield, I'll be right there beside you."

'Gah! My face! Cover it, cover it!' Maasaki shouted in his head. 'Why does he always have to be so nice!'

"Y-Yeah.."

"Alright, are you guys ready, Sasuke, Naruto?" Satoshi said turning towards them.

"Hn(m)" they chimed.

The four of them walked to the front lines as Naruto began to get more excited.

"Oh man, Team 7 is finally reunited!" he exclaimed.

"Ahem.."

Naruto looked over at Satoshi and sweat dropped. "Oh.. uh... somewhat reunited."

"And don't forget the extra member here with us." Satoshi said. "I consider him a part of Team 7."

Maasaki's face began to space out making his body seem like it was paper trying to fly away. Satoshi looked at him confused, wondering why his partner was so off into space.

"Oi, you alright Maasaki?"

Maasaki just kept saying incoherent words, making Satoshi sigh.

"Hey!" a girly voice interrupted.

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto said.

"Are you guys forgetting I'm part of Team 7 as well?"

'I forgot she was part of our team...' Satoshi thought to himself. 'How disappointing..'

'Isn't she a medic ninja?' Maasaki thought to himself. 'And if I remembered correctly, she just mostly uses her fists. Useless... she should just stay behind and heal the wounded.'

"Hey!" a voice called up from above. "I'm part of Team 7 as well!"

"Alright, Sai!" Naruto shouted. "Now, let's get this party started!"

Everyone seemed about ready to fight, but Satoshi and Maasaki kept eyeing Sakura. They didn't look so pleased.

"You guys okay?" Sakura asked.

"Y-yeah..." Satoshi said. "Just an aneurysm.."

"Wha-"

"Let's get started now." Satoshi said. "Actually... where is my brother?"

"I think he was last seen attacking a man that goes by.. Obito?" Sakura said.

"Obito?" Satoshi questioned. "Who the hell is that?"

"The Madara you knew as the real leader of the organization." Masaaki answered. "His real name is Obito Uchiha."

Satoshi stayed silent before smacking both his hands on his face and groaned.

"So many complications... just send me back to the afterlife, please."

"You agreed to help, so until then, have fun!" Maasaki mocked.

"Whatever, I'm going to find him." Satoshi said.

"I'm coming with you then." Maasaki said before he leaned in closer to Satoshi's ear. "Don't leave me with strangers!"

Satoshi chuckled. "Alright, let's go."

"That's no fun at all!" Naruto whined. "I was hoping for a Team 7 combo!"

"Naruto, say that again in your head and then realize how stupid that sounded." Satoshi said.

"Shade.." Maasaki said.

"Let's go now, we've wasted enough time."

"Hm."

Satoshi began to dodge through the crowd with Maasaki trailing behind him. Satoshi was trying to find a chakra that was most similar to his brother's chakra signature. But he couldn't find it.

"Do you sense-" Satoshi stopped mid sentence. "Never mind, I forgot you weren't of your surroundings."

"That's so mean..." Maasaki said as he hung his head low.

Maasaki suddenly stopped, pulling Satoshi's cloak causing him to almost fall.

"What was that fo-"

"Down there Satoshi!" Maasaki said. "Your brother is with the Fourth Hokage taking down Obito!"

"Good eye, Maasaki."

The two of them appeared next to Kakashi and Minato making everyone turn in their direction. Kakashi widened his eyes at Satoshi and didn't know how to react. He felt the tears welling up inside, but soon vanished when Satoshi spoke.

"I was looking for you everywhere." Satoshi said as he held out his hand. "I you have a book on you, give it here."

"EH?! YOU'RE TELLING ME WE LEFT THE FRONT LINES TO LOOK FOR YOUR BROTHER SO YOU CAN GET A BOOK?!" Maasaki yelled.

"Well, when you put it that way... yes." Satoshi said.

"THERE IS A WAR HAPPENING YA KNOW!"

"I'm aware of that... but I need a book to read."

"You're unbelievable.. you know that?" Maasaaki sighed.

"You want to know what's unbelievable? Being reanimated and not have back on you when you know for sure you died with it." Satoshi said. "Especially clothing... I find it very offensive that I don't have my normal attire on when the past Hokage's have on theirs."

"I'm not sure if that's how most items work..."

"Well, it's stupid. If I am to be reanimated, I expect all my belongings-"

A kunai shot towards Satoshi, which he activated his eyes and deflected it. He walked behind his perpetrator and deactivated his eyes.

"I was in the middle of a sentence..." he mumbled angrily. "Don't be so ."

Satoshi surged lightning around his body, causing a slight crater to form. Obito jumped back to avoid his wild lightning.

"I see you were able to be reanimated, Satoshi." Obito said.

"Much to my displeasure.. yes, I was able to come back."

"Maasaki." Obito said, looking over to him. "Have you turned against me?"

"Like I was ever with you in the beginning." Maasaki scoffed.

"I knew you were weak minded.." Obito spat. "You were always a weakling the moment I recruited you!"

"I am not-!"

"If you think about it Maasaki... you attack with water." Satoshi said.

"Were you always negative and sarcastic?." Maasaki deadpanned.

"You don't even know the half of it." Kakashi sighed.

"Listen, I know we're in a middle of a war right now and that the enemy is right in front of us, but can I have a book... ?" Satoshi said.

Kakashi sighed once again. "It's in my pouch."

Satoshi walked over to Kakashi and retrieved Icha Icha Tactic. Satoshi took a deep breath in and opened the book.

"This book is heaven itself!" Satoshi cooed.

The others sweat dropped at the white haired boy as he put it in his own pouch.

"Alright, I'm ready to fight now." Satoshi said. "I'll give you your book back by the end of the war, nii-san."

"You better.." Kakashi mumbled. "Dead or not, I'd send you to hell itself if I don't get that book back."

"Why is everyone so hostile towards me? Did you all have a meeting about this?" Satoshi said sarcastically.

Kakashi immediately smacked Satoshi's head, making Satoshi rub his head.

"Focus." Kakashi said.

"No need for violence.."

"So this is the Satoshi huh?" Maasaki said. "We would have been the best of friends as children."

Satoshi chuckled at his little comment before refocusing his attention towards Obito. Everyone noticed his change of attitude and were all now ready to fight. They were all determined to take down the man who ruined their lives.

'Let the battle commence..' they all thought.
