Here is the Bonus chapter

Minato flickered in front of her. His intent was clear to stop her at any cost and not let her leave again. But Kushina was prepared as she manifested the Adamantine Sealing Armor, a shimmering cloak of chakra that turned her into a golden Valkyrie.The armor was designed to siphon chakra on contact and to make sure Minato places no FTG seals on her.
Minato was forced to flick away to avoid being drained. That split second of hesitation was all Kushina needed to clear the gap and reach the Kumo side.
The scene at the Konoha gate had transformed into a blown out battle.
Inside, Konoha was burning. The sound of secondary explosions continued to rip through the streets, a reminder for elites that the gate that the village was being bomb from the inside out.
Outside, the Kumo forces held their ground. The Raikage is being flanked by Blue B... the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, who was already beginning to leak the red boiling chakra.
In the center, Danzo stood trembling with rage, his plans for a "clean" exchange in ashes. Beside him, Minato teleported back with his head low, his eyes were radiating a killing intent that made even the Kumo jounin sweat.
"The bombs will continue," the Raikage said, his voice devoid of triumph. "They are set to a sequence. Every minute you spend fighting us is another block of your precious village turned to rubble. If all the Great Clan heads are here at the gate, who is protecting the civilians? who is commanding the shinobi? How long until they realize their leaders let the village burn?"
He looked at Kushina, who stood with her chains still wrapped tightly around a struggling Orochimaru.
"Katsuyu," Tsunade barked in her mind space. "I need a status update on all the sectors. What's the casualty count? Where are the blasts concentrated?"
The slug's voice was a soft. "Tsunade-sama, The visuals are unclear, the smoke rising from the recent blasts is creating a dust veil. "
Tsunade's eyes turned red. "What about the Hyuga? Are any of you stationed near their compound? They have the Byakugan; they can see through the damn smoke. Have them feed you the intel directly."
There was a brief pause as Katsuyu's hive-mind processed the request. "Tsunade-sama... there are no fragments near the Hyuga estate. Given the Byakugan, I thought it would be more efficient to optimize my presence in the civilian sectors, the hospital zones, R&D and other clans. I assumed the Hyuga would be the least in need of a localized observer."

It was the time when Konoha shinobi relaxed as Kumo envoy had finally departed. The official negotiations regarding the long-standing border tensions had concluded. Shinobi who had been on high alert for the past few days were finally exhaling a breath of relief.
But while the village relaxed, Dodai waited dressed as a normal bystander; he was waiting for a signal from Sango, if the negotiations failed to yield the leverage what Kumo desired then he would pursue his mission, else he would abort.
Dodai's mission was to kidnap the kids under six from Kekkei Genkai clan, if the negotiation fell apart, mainly from Hyuga clan. As they already captured ten Uchiha from the previous war, but it was difficult to integrate them into Kumo given their fierce and uncontrolled nature.
Just then explosive blasts started, the signal from Sango. "So," Dodai whispered, "It failed. A shame for Konoha."
He didn't hesitate as the distractions designed to pull the elite ANBU away to the source of the explosion... Dodai ran towards Hyuga estate, as he performed a series of rapid hand signs.
"Lava Release: Human Rubber."
His skin took on a dull, matte sheen. His limbs became strangely fluid, his very musculature shifting into a flexible polymer. It was the perfect counter-measure for the Hyuga's Gentle Fist as it relied on hitting the tenketsu with bursts of chakra to rupture internal organs.
But against Dodai's rubberized form, the pinpoint strikes of the Hyuga would simply sink into his mass, the kinetic force being absorbed would be distributed throughout his entire body.
Dodai bypassed the skirmishes at Hyuga gate, his eyes locked on the sprawling architecture of the Hyuga compound. The deeper he went, the more likely he is to find someone from main clan.
"Intruder!" a voice rang out.
Within seconds, a dozen Hyuga guards appeared, their movements were synchronized, their faces with the bulging veins of the activated Byakugan. They got into the Gentle Fist stance, a dance of deadly grace.
Dodai didn't slow down. He swung his arm in a wide arc, his fingers elongating into sticky mass. "Lava Release: Rubber Gum!"
The guards, expecting a solid projectile, tried to deflect the attack with their palms. It was a mistake. The "gum" adhered to their hands and forearms, binding their limbs together with a tensile strength that someone as strong as Choza could not break. It was a technique Dodai had been refining ever since his encounter with the Inoichi-Choza duo.
While the guards struggled with the adhesive, Dodai looked upward.
"Lava Release: Rubber Rope."
A cord of yellowish thin rubber shot from his palm, hooking onto the edges of a high-rise buildings. He launched himself into the air, swinging with the momentum. He soared over the inner walls, his eyes scanning the "Grandeur Buildings"... the ornate structures that likely housed the Main House.
"There," he muttered, spotting the most heavily fortified residence.
He landed silently on a tiled roof, descending into the heart of the Main House. He bypassed the empty ceremonial halls and moved toward the living quarters. A few dozen of minutes later, he could hear the muffled sound of a woman.
He slid the door open.
Inside, a Hyuga woman sat on the tatami mats, clutching a small child... a girl no older than two, with pale, wide eyes. She had no Caged Bird Seal on her forehead.
Dodai stepped into the room, but before he could reach out, the air behind him shivered.
"Eight Trigrams: One Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms!"
Hizashi Hyuga was a blur as his fingers striking with immense speed. Two palms, four palms, eight... sixteen... thirty-two... sixty-four... one twenty eight palms.
The strikes landed cleanly, but as Hizashi's eyes widened in surprise as his fingers were sinking inches deep into Dodai's chest, shoulders and wherever his strikes landed.
Dodai simply grunted, his body deforming under the pressure and then snapping back. The internal damage Hizashi expected was being neutralized by the shear elasticity of Dodai's body.
The force of the final strike, however, carried enough physical momentum to knock Dodai backward. He collided with the Hyuga woman, his rubberized shoulder scratching her temple. She collapsed and separated from her child.
Dodai tumbled to the floor, coming to rest right next to the child.
"Hinata-sama!" Hizashi screamed, his composure shattering. He couldn't risk another close-quarters exchange as Hinata might be caught in the crossfire. He leaped back, his hands weaving into a focal point of pure, compressed air towards Dodai to distance him from Hinata.
"Eight Trigrams: Vacuum Palm!"
