A/N: Well, I was listening to the song "Plagues" from the movie "The Prince of Egypt". This idea suddenly struck me. I'd like to hear guesses on who the two people are. It'll be interesting to see how many people get this right or wrong.

"Let my people go." Across the distance between the, the words carried clearly. The pale man on the other side of the battle field laughed.

"Now why would I do that?" The pale man smirked and faced the white haired man who had challenged him.

Behind and between them men clashed and killed each other. Spurts of fire and shards of ice clashed in mid air. The medics on both sides had their hands full trying to minimize death. Even so, the stench of burnt meat. The war had been going on for too long, there was no longer any food or drink that was unpolluted, and a good chunk of it was the fault of the white haired man.

"Once I called you brother. Once I thought the chance to make you laugh was all I ever wanted." He had the huge toad he stood one move closer to his once friend.

The pale man stopped his motion with a thunderbolt called from the sky. The pale man, still smirking readied to do so again before the white haired man blew a large streamer of fire towards the other man. They were forced to stop before either spoke again. It was again the man with white hair.

"And even now I wish that she had chose another. Serving as your foe on her behalf is the last thing that I wanted." Before he could say more, the pale man who was his opponent sent shards of ice towards him. Again he countered with streamers of fire.

It now became clear that the troops of the pale man were falling back in the face of the advancing foes.

"This was my home. All this pain and devastation, how it tortures me inside. All the innocent who suffer, from your stubbornness and pride."

Screams continued fill the air. They were nearly drowned out by the buzzing of insect wings as swarms of black insects filled the sky. The pale man's troops fell back farther, most of them now hiding behind his gigantic snake.

"You who I called brother, why must you call down another blow? Let my people go!"

From the white haired man's warriors there rose a cry from many voices as one. "For the Hokage! For Konoha!"

"You who I called Brother, how could you have come to hate me so? Is this what you wanted?" The pale man glared and told his warriors to continue fighting.

His forces swarmed from around the giant snake. The man with white hair took a deep breath and blew a jet of fire along the front ranks.

"Then let my heart be hardened, no matter how high the price may grow. This will still be so! I will never let your people go!" the pale man snarled, leaping off his snake and charging the other man. The white haired man followed suit and they met in mid air.

"Let. My. People. GO!"

"I will never let. Your. People. GO!"
