Two Paths (Sequel to Why Me)

Setting the Caged Bird Free

The Shinobi alliance stood before the Juubi realizing the tragedy that just struck. Head quarters has just been destroyed. Ino and Shikamaru both looked distraught but tried their best to stay calm.

"Shikamaru," Choji started.

"We're in the midst of a battle, don't say anything more. You too, Ino. Just do what my old man told us to." Shikamaru ordered.

"What...what's with them?" Naruto wondered.

"You're the key to this strategy!" Neji said as he jumped next to Naruto.

"Not that! Those guys, Shikaku and Inochi, what happened to them?!"

Suddenly a figure was seen jumping in front of their view of the sun casting a shadow on them. The figure appeared in front of Madara and Obito making everyone wonder who it was. Once they were able to see who it was the Leaf shinobi froze.

"Who is that?" Someone questioned.

"Mariah Kira," A Leaf shinobi answered.

"K-Kira? I thought they were all dead?"

"Nope, she was the last survivor. We thought that she died three years ago though." (Remember, only a few people knew that she was alive, I forget who though lol def Team 7 and Team Gai and the Kage's know)

"Mariah!" Naruto shouted excitedly.

Mariah took a glance at Naruto then turned towards the two Uchiha.

"Did you take care of that nuisance?" Obito questioned.

"Yes master." She replied.

"She's still under their control!" Naruto growled.

"Wait what?" Sakura questioned.

"Madara and Obito erased Mariah's memories and replaced them making her believe that they raised her. Wait! If she's here then....where's that other guy?"

"She must've taken care of him." Kakashi confirmed.

"Mariah," Madara called out.

"Yes?"

"Take care of them," He ordered.

"I would but my chakra is drained. He was stronger than I imagined."

"Fine, we'll give  you some chakra." He said walking towards her.

Madara examined Mariah noticing her wounds. He couldn't help but notice that her former blue shirt was now coated in blood along with the rest of her body.

"He really did a number on you didn't he?"

"Yes but I came out victorious."

"I can see that," He said as he put his hand on her shoulder. Chakra was transferred to Mariah making her feel stronger. Once Madara was done he took a step away from her.

"Now, destroy the enemy." He ordered.

"Of course....Master..." Mariah said turning away from him.

In a flash she turned and kicked Madara then Obito while their guard was down. They quickly recovered.

"What was that for?!" Obito shouted in anger.

"She got her memories back." Madara informed.

"How?"

"I took a trip down memory lane. Thanks for the chakra by the way." Mariah said with a smirk.

"You're a nuisance."
