Prologue

'This war is exhausting. Even with full Bijuu mode, I'm tiring too quickly. Obito's technique is confusing and difficult to counter, but I'm glad Kakashi-Sensei figured it out in the end. I don't know what I'd do without him. I can sense another immense source of chakra headed this way, but there's nothing I can do about it right now - I can't leave Kakashi-Sensei and Bee to `fight Obito by themselves!'

Naruto steals a glance toward the Jounin and catches Kakashi's signal. Hastily, he forms a Rasenshuriken, pushes off the ground and flies towards Obito. Just as he thinks he'll make it, the immense chakra source suddenly appears behind him. He's moving far too fast to deviate from his original course, as the stranger's hand catches the arm holding his Rasenshuriken. The sudden jerking motion causes him to release it in the wrong direction.

He's spun around and has just enough time to notice pale skin, long black spiky hair and Sharingan eyes, - made up of a large circle connected by three smaller circles - before he hears a deep voice say "Kaosu no Fukkatsu Jutsu!"

The strange Uchiha's other hand hits his stomach, hard enough to send him soaring backwards. Naruto lands painfully with his feet flat on the ground, skidding to a stop, sending rocks and dust flying in his wake. He can't see anything in front of him or sense where the new enemy has gone. Naruto glances aside to where Kakashi is standing. He's showing the most emotion Naruto's ever even seen on his face. He's panicking, screaming at Naruto to run. He can sense Bee sprinting in his direction, as he tries to get his legs to do something, anything - just move - towards Kakashi. The world suddenly flashes blindingly white, then fades completely as he falls into darkness.
