*Naruko's pov*(that is Tsubaki^)

"Naruto's going to take on Pein." I say as a vision hits. Gaara and I were the only two in the room.

"He'll survive Naruko. Don't worry." Gaara says not even looking up from his paperwork.

"I know. I'm just worried. After hearing about Jiraiya-Ero-Sennin dying by the hands of Pein..." I sigh and shake my head. He sighs and stands up.

"Come on. I can't concentrate." He says as we begin to walk.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"To eat." He says simply. I nod and we continue to walk. We make our way to a small diner where they sell all kinds of meat. I sighed concerned about his eating style. For I don't really like what he does.

"Lord Kazakage, welcome!" The shop owner says bowing. "Would you like the usual?" He asks.

"Yes, thank you." Gaara says taking a seat in the corner.

"What about you miss? Would you like something?" He asks.

"No thank you sir. I couldn't do my job in guarding the Kazakage if I were to take a break." I say standing slightly behind Gaara.

"Tsubaki, sit and eat." Gaara says coldly I sigh and sit across from him. "She'll have a beef ramen." He says simply.

"Alright, coming right up." The owner smiles.

"You need to eat more often." Gaara states calmly.

"I'm going to be needed again soon." I say seriously.

"Where?" He asks. Our food arrives and we both say thank you. I have to taste Gaara's food first before he can eat. I give him the okay, and he begins to eat.

"Back to where I was. Sasuke, and them will be heading back there soon. The Akatsuki are dying out but a war is still coming." I say seriously.

"When will you be leaving?" He asks taking a bite of his food.

"Soon, within three days or so." I say seriously. I narrow my eyes on something behind Gaara and quickly and silently pull out a kunai throwing it at the person. Effectively hitting them in the forehead killing them.

"It's time we head back." Gaara states. I nod and sit down money.

"Thank you sir." I bow to the owner and we walk out.

"There's a body inside, clean it up." Gaara says to some of his subordinates. They nod and go to clean it.

"Sorry Lord Gaara. I thought they had gotten the intruder already." Kankurō says falling into step with me.

"It's fine Kankurō. Tsubaki took care of it." Gaara states.

"Really?" He asks looking at me.

"Ye-Yes Kank-Kankurō." I stutter blushing. I hate this act but hey, whatever works.

-time skip, two days later, Tobi/Madara/Obito(who the duck ever announces a war starting!)-

"I take it you're leaving now?" Gaara asks. I nod silently.

"It was fun being your guard while the time called for it, but it's time to head back." I smiled lightly.

"What?" Kankurō and Temari asked confused. I chuckle at them with a closed eye smile.

"Heh, my names not Tsubaki." I release my transformation.

"What?" Temari asks wide eyed.

"I had to hide. Tobi was after me. I made it seem like I died but didn't." I smile.

"Who knew?" She asks.

"Naruto, Udyan, Selena, Shisui, Lady Tsunade and Gaara." I say simply.

"I hate you." Kankurō mutters shaking his head.

"Oh? Where you falling in love with Tsubaki?" I ask laughing as he blushes. "I can make her a real person after this. Give her a complete background and everything." I say shrugging. He narrows his eyes.

"Don't play in my love life." He says seriously. I chuckle but nod.

"Take care of yourself." Gaara says to me. I nod and wave as I disappear. No longer needing hand signs. I reappear in front of Kabuto and Orochimaru.

"You don't stay dead long." I say laughing as Orochimaru and Kabuto both jump.

"Neither do you." Orochimaru states smirking.

"Eh, I haven't actually died yet." I shrug. "Where is everyone else?"

"In their roomsss." Orochimaru states.

"Why? And where have you been? You know what?!" Kabuto hits my head into the ground.

"Ouchie! Why?! Why does everyone hit me like that?" I whine. Next thing I know, Karin, Suigetsu, Jugo, Sasuke, Itachi and Kisame run out ready to fight. Only to freeze when they see me sitting on the ground. "Uh, hiya." I laugh sheepishly. Their eyes widen, Karin starts to cry, and everyone else besides Jugo fall to their knees.

"You used the Sharingan to alter their memories?" Kabuto asks hitting me again.

"Stop hitting me you jack ass!" I yell holding my head. Then I feel something on my head. My eyes widen and I freak out. "I'm going to kill you Kabuto!"

"I had to." He shrugs. I glare at him but before I can do anything else Karin comes over to me and pulls me into a hug.

"K-karin?" I ask wide eyed. Then she hits me. "Should have seen that coming." I mutter.

"You idiot!" She yells.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I had to make it seem completely real." I say seriously. Sasuke stands up, and walks away. I stand up too and go to follow him.

"Leave him for now." Itachi says seriously. "He took it the hardest." He tells me pulling me into a one armed hug. I sigh and nod.

"Hey bitch! Fight me!" Suigetsu yells. My eye twitches.

"I'm really tired of you already." I sigh. I walk over to him and without him noticing I emit electricity and shock the hell out of him. "Night, night." I smirk.

"You haven't changed at all." Kisame laughs patting my head. I smile and nod.

"I was getting ready to use the Impure World Reincarnation to bring you back." Kabuto says.

"When in the hell did you get my dna? Y'know What don't answer that because that'll only fuel my rage to want to kill you." I say putting a hand up. He smirks at me.

"The war startsss in a month. Are you prepared?" Orochimaru asks me. I look at him with calm eyes.

"Yes, but I'm still going to train." I say simply. He nods.

-time skip later that day-

"Ugh!" Suigetsu yells laying on the couch. We've all been sitting around talking, except for Sasuke.

"What are you whining about?" I ask seriously.

"I'm starving!" He yells.

"Sssstop yelling." Orochimaru glares.

"Naruko." Kabuto says looking at me. I sigh.

"Fine. Fine. I'll cook." I sigh.

"I'll help." Karin says smiling.

"No, bitch!" Suigetsu yells. I sigh.

"My kitchen, my rules." I state simply.

"It'sss my kitchen." Orochimaru says glaring.

"If I'm cooking it's my kitchen." I reply.

"No, Naruko you deserve a break. I'll cook." Kisame says sighing.

"Let Kisame cook." Itachi says gently. I nod.

"Okay." I say simply. I stand up and stretch. "I'm going to check on Sasuke."

"I wanna come too." Karin says but Itachi stops her.

"Leave them alone." Itachi says calmly. Karin growls annoyed but nonetheless doesn't follow.
