      Cackling, sizzling; these were mere mundane words that did no justice in terms of describing fully the stiffling tension that wafted off of every soldier's startled body. Eyes looked on thoroughly bewildered with mouths hung wide and paused mid action of an expression that leaned against shock, more so against a resigned state or acceptance, of what both newly regenerated Shinobies had preached.

Yes, it seemed the truth of what Neji, and the Uchiha prince sermonized minutes earlier had finally visualized itself in the form of a stunning beyond doubt creature. The dust had finally settled as with the howling wind. Chaos, that wild child ceased his dance as well as the clashing sounds of fists being exchanged none too gently. Most stared on in complete,  aww, others more so than the rest were left astonished and in desperate need for answers.

Kami above, she was beautiful. So much so that goddess, a word not easily given in praise brandished itself across most men's tongue. Long heavenly mane, wirey straight and dipped in mercury, stood out like the silvery moon in the night's sky. Her doeful eyes were so striking with twin sets of byakugans and immediately it spoke of an intimate affiliation to that of the proud Hugya clan. But kami above, that lone ocular orb seemingly dipped in bloody crimson and those antlers that stood atop her head were three ethereal symbols whom proudly monumented and cemented altogether her stunning aura. Surely a goddess indeed, and together all were in the known, all suspected within the cores of themselves this creatures true identity.

   KAGUYA OOSUTSTUKI.

Glares met glares while the creases in their foreheads were lined with unasked questions, but one pair of mismatched eyes stood grounded. He amongst the mass sensed Kaguya's essence, that sinuos flow of her life's energy that was seemingly mixed with that of his Sakura's. Pink, her colour, the very one he thought he'd seen as the woman dashed past his peripheral during his haste to collect himself, was no where to be found. What had been even more bewildering were her taste. That tangy sweetness which lingered on his lips after he'd said his goodbye to her lifeless frame, suddenly began to permeate his mind as though he'd been sprayed with her fragrance. 

Fully flushed with desperation, Madara got to his feet even though his gaze still held Kaguya's as she dominated Zetsu beneath her grasp. And Yes, she had dominated the monster with her bare hands. One held to his throat threateningly, the other sealing both of his in binding. But he cared not, not when his mind had been overcomed with visions of his dead kunoichie whose body had disappeared mere moments ago.

"WHERE IS SHE?".....

Kaguya craned her elegant neck towards him. A soft, sincere smile splayed her lips but suddenly, her byakugans overtook a crest fallen expression as they landed on both Naruto and Sasuke a short distance away. "She is safe my son, how ever I have other business here with this little one"...

Upon mention of his self given name, Zetsu squirmed anxiously, frighteningly beneath his mother's tight grasp and softening glare. Shock as heavy as a mountain anchored most of his movements but he suspected his interference with Madara's plans had nothing to do with her sudden appearance. "O-Okaa-san?" Trembling lips portrayed a humble tone.
