Author's Note: You can assume everything is happening as it does normally unless I say it doesn't. This story starts in the anime episode #323

This is a story with adult themes and scenes.

This is all in fun so I hope no one gets upset by anything I write. I hope you enjoy it!

I got the idea for this pairing after reading a story called "Madara's Conquest" by Marquise de Nile. It's really good, and you should read it.

Naruto's clone was at his limit as the five kage promised him that they would be able to win the battle with the reanimated Uchiha Madara.

The kage were confident, but Temari couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that haunted her.

She was incredibly thankful that she was in the same division as Gaara and able to look after him. But as grateful as she was, she did not think that she could handle watching this dead Uchiha seriously hurt or kill her little brother.

Her arm was barely injured from the falling asteroids but she found her grip on it tightening the more she contemplated Gaara's fate.

Temari heard the guys behind her take off after the fragmented Lord Mu and it reminded her that she too needed to go do something useful. She decided to round up the rest of the fourth division. With the Kazekage very preoccupied and Shikamaru elsewhere, this task fell to her.

But first she wanted to find Matsuri and Yukata. Temari didn't exactly know why or how, but she could feel a bond developing with them. She wouldn't go so far as to call them friends but she appreciated them for the girls they were.

She also owed them back for trying to embarrass her about Shikamaru. "An intelligent guy" her foot, she knew who they were talking about, and Temari planned on setting them straight. Sure, he's intelligent and kind of handsome, but she definitely didn't like him like that.

This is war and there is no time for those kinds of thoughts or that kind of behavior. If she caught anyone around her behaving in that manner she would be sure to give them a piece of her mind.

She found an area with scattered shinobi, "All right, everyone. If you're alive, look it! We may not be in the main fight right now but we need to be ready to give support at a moment's notice."

The Iwa nin closest to Temari, named Ikuo, cringed and thought, I really can't stand that woman. Her attitude, her voice, everything about her is annoying. I still can't believe I'm in her division when this time last year I was chasing her through a mountain pass. I don't mind fighting with all of the other nations, but some people should have been left at home. Everyone else seems OK with her though, so I'd better keep my thoughts to myself.

If he technically wasn't the next in charge after Temari, Ikuo would have hidden beneath a rock just to get away from her.

He told her that he and the others nearby would assemble all those they could find alive and meet her back here.

As he walked off, he turned back around to confirm how long they would look when he saw a blur and then she was gone. Ikuo knew Temari couldn't even appear to travel that fast without her fan out. Something wasn't right, but he didn't particularly care.

"Is something wrong, Ikuo?" Ikuo shook his head at the Kumo nin next to him. There was no way he was going to look this gift horse in the mouth, and he raced off to look for survivors with renewed vigor.
