Yo.
Here's the 5th chapter.
Here are the previous four:
Notes before reading: Team 7 can't have all the attention
. This chapter takes the focus to Kabuto's perspective. For the second part, I don't feel like I did the description of the setting any justice. Basically, there's a forest that ends/opens, and near its opening/clearing, is a cliff. If you kept your back to the forest, and stood on the cliff, you'd see a camp of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Hopefully, that makes sense.
This chapter may disappoint, it's role is to push the plot forward. I know it's short, it may seem kind of...useless >___> ", but this saves me some trouble in future chapters.
I usually wouldn't update so early, I'd wait a week, but there may be a time in the very near future when I may not be able to update for a long while again...I'll bring the 6th Ch. soon.

“Hmm? He’s not there? Pity.”
The day was slowly darkening, and another night of the Fourth Shinobi War was stealthily approaching. Yet, despite the earth-shaking war that thundered noisily in the lands beyond, a cloaked man sat quietly cross legged on the ground, unaffected, in a rocky plain. The body of an unconscious woman lay on the ground behind him, along with a large thick snake that stood upright, as though on watch.
But he seemed to be concentrating on something else. A thin rugged mat with faded squares was settled in front of him, with countless tiny rocks set atop it, like game pieces. The man’s face was pale, and slightly scaled like a snake’s skin. His hands were clasped together, symbolizing a special ninjutsu technique. With his yellow eyes he stared intently at the mat, pushing his thick, round glasses further up his nose. He seemed to be mumbling (slyly) to himself.
“…I thought he’d be there, after destroying all the zetsus. I had even set this trap for him.”
He sighed.
“Well, what to expect. No one can restrain that junchuuriki. The Allied Forces can’t even keep a leash on both their bijuu.”
Suddenly, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes gleamed with frightening pleasure, and his mouth cracked into a wide grin.
“Hmmm? Speak of the devil…”
“Where do you think he’s taking us? Do you see anyone?” A quiet voice.
“Not yet. I thought he was going to make us attack the guarded tents over there, below the cliff. At least, we were walking towards them, minutes ago.” A second voice, much less quiet than the last, and seemed to come from a man who was weakened.
Two cloaked figures walked slowly around the opening of a forest, near the edge of a rocky cliff. One was supporting the other, yet they both still looked very intimidating.
The one being supported had thin, pure white hair that flowed from his head and fluttered with the breeze. His skin was horribly thin, his cheeks were hollow, and his lips were cracked. But his eyes were wide and piercing, mostly because his eyeballs were patterned with circling lines and lacked a visible pupil.
The other sported hair long hair that was dark as night, tied back behind his head. His pale face was smooth save for the long characteristic lines of tear troughs under his eyes. The whites of his eyes were eerily black, surrounding his red irises that contained three tomoe.
“But, we seem to moving as though we actually have a destination, unlike before.” Itachi Uchiha remarked. “He’s found something, watch out.”
“Right,” Nagato Uzumaki replied back.
Suddenly, there was a rustle of leaves, and a figure appeared to be running at them. He was tall, black, and muscular. Multiple swords were stashed behind his back, but he seemed to be carrying a thick, scaly blue sword instead.
The two split apart and went into a battle stance. Upon noticing this, the man called out to them.
“Yo – “
“Be careful, we’re going to attack!” Nagato interrupted.
A giant ball of flames suddenly appeared, heading straight for the man. He swung his blue sword vertically down, cutting the fiery sphere in half to dodge the flames.
“Samehada…?” Itachi wondered. Then Kisame has been killed too.
The man holding the sword samehada had a slightly annoyed expression etched on his face.
“I’m the only one who gets to interrupt me, Fool!”

Chapter 6:
And? I know it's short, but I had to set the background/atmosphere for this fight. I know there's not much to say/review for this chapter...
If I had added the entire fight, the chapter would've been too long. And since this'll be my first actual fight-scene, I need room to experiment. But then, the fight shouldn't be too long, since Naruto's not there, Bee doesn't seem to stand too much of chance (to last long...)
The last moment, where Bee had cut the flames, and Itachi noticed Samehada and thought about Kisame, was actually in the manga a few chapters ago. I was directly quoting Itachi.
I had taken Bee's line from Narutopedia, and added 'fool'...I don't actually remember when he said that though. xd
I think in this chapter, I was just having too much fun in attempting to describe Kabuto's/Nagato's/Itachi's appearances.
Here's the 5th chapter.
