Sorry for the long wait guys. I've been dragging lately and I've been writing double chapters. Please show your support by leaving a review. Without further a do, enjoy.
Both of the Uchiha's stood there in complete silence, not uttering a word. The only thing that can be heard through the silence is the blowing of the wind, the sounds of the waves hitting the pillars holding up the bridge, and the sounds of terror and destruction coming from the town far out in the distance.
"K-Kazato?" Sasuke said with shock clearly on his face when he saw Kazato's face. "I...thought you were dead...?"
Kazato maintained his grin. "Yeah, I though the same about you too. So did Rize."
"What? Rize is here too?" Sasuke then snapped out of his shock, remembering that there was once another Uchiha who wasn't wiped out along with the clan. In fact, they were presumed dead until they revealed themselves from the shadows. Obito Uchiha.
Kazato chuckled to himself. "Rize would probably pick on you if she sees you, ya'know?"
Sasuke twitched an eyebrow, remembering the times when they were little kids. Rize would poke fun at him about being shorter than her, giving him names because of his hair, or anything that comes mind. But every time she does poke fun at him, both Sasuke and Kazato would counter her with the nickname Shisui gave her, The little hedgehog. Again, referring to her hair.
'Yeah. Of course she would.' Sasuke thought annoyed. One question still lingered in his mind. How did they survive the massacre? Were they lucky and managed to hide from Itachi or did something else happened? "How did you survive?"
"Huh?"
"Our clan's annihilation. How did you and Rize survive? They said I was the only survivor." Sasuke threw the question at Kazato.
Kazato's grin slowly faded and his expression turned grim when he heard the question. "Rize and I...managed to hide from your brother during the massacre." He clinched his fists and his teeth in anger as he thought about that night. "We saw...everything."
'So they witnessed everything that happened.' Sasuke thought.
"Sasuke" Kazato called out to him. "Tell me. Where is your brother, Itachi?" He said with anger clearly in his tone. "Where is he so we can make him pay for what he did to our clan." Kazato looked that Sasuke with anger and fury in his eyes.
Sasuke's eyes widened, just a bit. He is all too familiar with the look in Kazato's eyes. This is the look of vengeance. Seeing the look in Kazato's eyes showed Sasuke a reflection of himself from back then. Sasuke doesn't blame them for wanting to get revenge on Itachi. They did watch their entire clan get slaughtered in front of them.
Sasuke is never the one to care about how others felt, but this time he knew actually how Kazato and his sister felt. The burning desire for revenge and the fires of hatred burning deep within. Sasuke knows that feeling all too well. But do they know the truth? Do they know the reason why Itachi did it? Going by Kazato's action right now, its clear that they don't. He has to tell them the truth. He has to tell them that Itachi is dead and it was the Leaf that was behind the cause of their clan's demise. Or else they'll just be wasting their time and will get no where.
More than likely they'll decide to attack the Leaf once they find out the truth. Naturally, Sasuke wouldn't stop them from making that decision since he too will never forgive the Leaf for what they did to his brother and clan. But considering that he has a few people he cares about, some more than others, that live in the Leaf. He knew he has no other choice.
This isn't really in his character, but this would be the first time Sasuke would try to prevent someone from going down the same road and making the same mistakes he made. "Itachi. He is-"
"Well well. Not only do we find The Grim Reaper, but also The Black Knight himself. What a convenience! This" Came a cheery young female voice. Suddenly a woman, around the height of 5'2, wearing a black hooded cloak appeared few meters behind Sasuke. She looked at the two Uchiha's. Her face couldn't be seen due to her Anbu mask that resembles a cat. Pink hair can be seen hanging out from underneath her hood. "I didn't expect to find two of my mice in the same place."
"Who is that?" Kazato said to himself, looking pass Sasuke.
Sasuke, now looking behind him, is looking at the mysterious newcomer with a cold glare.
"Oh meow" She said in a alluring voice. "Is that any way to look at a girl, Black Knight?"
"Who are you? If you don't have any business with us then you should leave. Now." Sasuke said coldly.
"Meow meow meow" The woman said once again. "Aren't you a feisty one. Alright I'll introduce myself. I'm Ryuko. The Black Cat. Pleased to meet you both." She said with a bow.
"Introducing yourself to the prey? What are you going to do next? Offer them fish?" Came a males voice that sounded forceful in tone. A few meters behind Kazato appeared a man wearing a black hooded cloak as well. He also had on his hood and he has on a Anbu mask resembling a dog. He is 6'1 and he has a muscular build.
"Aww. Oh come now poochy." Ryuko said in a cheery tone.
The man let out a dog-like growl when he heard her call him that which, made her correct herself.
"Oh? I'm sorry. Mad Dog. At least let me introduce myself to my mice before playing with them."
"You think I give a rat's ass about that Cat? Unlike your lazy ass I don't waste time with my prey." The man said to her, glaring that the Uchiha.
"I do not waste time!" Ryuko stomped her foot on the ground. "Unlike you, I savour and cherish the moments I have with my mice!" She said in defence.
The man just growled in irritation. "And what the hell you think I meant when I said you waste time?!"
Both Sasuke and Kazato are now standing back-to-back. Sasuke is facing Ryuko and Kazato is facing The Mad Dog. Kazato has both hands on his scythe and Sasuke is holding his sword one-handed.
'That woman. The way shes acting kinda makes me think of Rize-' "Shit!" Kazato swore out loud. He looked passed the man in front of him, seeing the smoking town in the distance. 'I can't afford to waste time here. I have to get back to Rize and Sakuya.' "Hey Sasuke" Kazato called out, gaining Sasuke's attention. "There is only two of them. Let's go all-out and finish them quickly. I have to get back to my sister."
With that said, Sasuke brought his attention back to Ryuko. "Right"
Ryuko chuckled after over hearing Kazato. "Only two he says."
"Cats and dogs run in packs chump." With that, the man and Ryuko snapped their fingers. Soon after, people wearing cloaks and Anbu makes began to appear one-by-one on each side. Now, both Kazato and Sasuke found them surrounded, trapped between two large groups of Anbu.
Sasuke gritted his teeth and growl in irritation. "Damn it!" He activated his Mangakyo Sharingan in his right eye and the Rinne Sharingan in his left.
"This is bad." Kazato said to himself. "I have no other choice but to use it. This definitely counts as an emergency." With that, he activated his Sharingan as well but this time it is different. The three tomoe's of his Sharingan began to rotate clockwise and join together in the middle of his eyes. They began to take the shape of a spiral with a shuriken in the middle. This is his Mangakyo Sharingan!
'Don't go pushing your luck with it Kazato.' Kazato mentally told himself as he got ready to fight. The moment Kazato activated his Mangakyo Sharingan, Sasuke looked back at him from the corner of his eye, sensing a strange chakra he didn't sense until now.
The man with the dog mask let out a sadistic chuckle. "Fighting both The Grim Reaper and The Black Knight. This will be a meal to remember."
Back in the town, the battle between Rize and the mysterious Anbu group erupted. Five of the Anbu engaged in combat with Rize while their leader hanged back and watched. The six clashed and manoeuvred through out the town.
"Come on! I thought you were gonna take my eyes!" Rize said in a playful, yet mockingly, tone. She acrobatically jumped from rooftop to rooftop while dodging and evading the attacks of her adversaries. Even though this is a life or death situation and one slip up will cost her dearly, Rize couldn't really help herself. She absolutely loved it when the stakes are high. It gives her a rush that she never gets tired of, but that doesn't mean she'll put herself in those kinds of situations on purpose.
One of the Anbu swiped that her with their sword, which Rize easily backstepped. The moment she backstepped, one of the female Anbu appeared behind her, swinging her sword aiming for Rize's neck. The moment she swung his sword, Rize unsheathe her Chikage and blocked the attack without turning around.
The woman let out a growl of irritation, seeing that her attack is stopped cold.
Rize looked back that the woman from the corner of her right eye, revealing her Sharingan through the right eyehole of her crow mask. "I'm having fun. Aren't you?"
"Tch! Don't mock me!" The woman yelled before pushing off from Rize. She and her other four comrades charged in to attack Rize from five directions.
Using her Sharingan, Rize ducked a sword swipe from one Anbu and slashed them across the stomach, causing them to tumble back and fall. The wound isn't very deep, its just enough to draw blood. Next, she sidestepped a stab from behind from other Anbu. She counterattacked by kneeing them in the stomach, spun around behind them, kick them in the butt and ended with a slash to the back.
Two Anbu members came at her from her left and right, attempting the sandwich he in between. Rize threw her Chikage into the air and jumped. She grabbed onto their arm as they came in and performed a split in the air kicking them both in the face, breaking their masks in the process. The last Anbu tried to attack Rize from behind, thinking that she is unaware. Right when they tried to attack, Rize did a backflip over them and sent kick while she is still in the air. The Anbu saw this and dodged with a roll.
When they recovered themselves, then Anbu caught sight of Rize already on them. They managed to caught a punch she threw. In return, they threw a punch as well which Rize also caught. Rize kicked them off and sent a round house kick to the face which the Anbu avoided by leaning back and performing a backflip. Both Rize and the Anbu found themselves in a face-off of taijutsu. The Anbu sent another punch which Rize easily dodged by spinning to the side, ending up behind him. As if on que, Rize caught her Chikage in mid-spin as it came back down, now holding it in reverse. With that, she slashed the Anbu in the back, causing him to yell in pain.
After having their butts handed to them, the five injured Anbu picked themselves up and regrouped.
"This is not getting us anywhere. With that damn Sharingan, we can't touch her." One of them said in a male voice.
"No fucking kidding. On top of that, she fights like shes part of that assassin group." Another man said.
"Don't be absurd! We wiped out what was left of them! Argh!" One of the women in the group said in pain, holding her stomach where there is a huge blood spot.
"Why are you five sitting there talking? Hurry up and bring me those eyes." Said their young leader who is sitting on a rail.
One of the men growl in anger. "That damn little prick. I don't care who he is the clone of. He'll be dead once I-"
"Shut it you idiot!" One of the women said in a low voice. "Do you know what will happen if he hears you?"
"Stay focus" Said another man. "We need something to cover our movements so she can't read them." He said as he pulled out a smoke bomb. "We'll surround her from five directions again but this time we'll throw a smoke bomb. With the smoke, she can't see us meaning she can't read our movements. Likely, she'll panic knowing that she can use her Sharingan, putting her at an disadvantage. And we'll use that disadvantage to our advantage."
"Right" All the other Anbu said in unison.
Rize raised an eyebrow after hearing their muttering. She put her Chikage back in its sheath and kept her hand on its hilt. 'What the heck are they muttering about over there? Their probably trying to devise a plan. Shoot! Due to their masks, I can't read their lips. Well, in that case, I'll just have to prepare something of my own.' With that though in mind, Rize pulled her Chikage out of its sheath just a bit so the blade is showing. "Chikage: The Bloodedge." She called out her sword's name. "Drink the surrounding blood of this battlefield." With that said, blood from the surrounding area started travelling towards Rize's location. Even the blood from the Anbu's started travelling towards her. Large quantities of blood spiralled around Rize and entered into the sheath of her Chikage. It looked as if the blade itself is drinking the blood.
"W-What the hell is she doing?" One of the Anbu said in shock.
The young leader sitting on the rail raised an eyebrow underneath his mask. "Well. Thats something you don't see everyday." He said with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"Now to add in something extra." With that said, Rize's Sharingan began to take a different form. The three tomoe in her eyes rotated clockwise and joined together in the middle. It then took the form of a radial shape that sorta looks like a broken wheel.
"Shit! Is that!" One of the Anbu said in shock after seeing this.
"Move! Now!" With that, the five Anbu disappeared in thin air and appeared above Rize, readying their smoke bombs. Before they could execute their plan, they heard Rize say this one phrase:
"Empty Sky Form..."
All of a sudden, everything became black and white, and time seemed to slow down with the five Anbu's still in the air. The only thing that has color is Rize's Mangakyo Sharingan. Then a gigantic circle, matching the design of a Sharingan eye, appeared underneath Rize. Similar to how the eight trigrams circle appears underneath Neji.
With that, Rize swiped out her Chikage from it's sheath in one swift movement. "Renzokuken..."
The moment Rize said that name, red powerful slashes erupted everywhere. The slashes were hitting nearby objects, leaving marks on the rooftop they are on, and slashing the Anbu while their still in the air. Their bodies began to corrode away in what looked like blood. Rize then slipped her sword back in it's sheath which ended the attack. The world's normal color returned and time around her resumed. The five Anbu were no longer there. There is no trace left of their existence, not even their clothes.
Rize smirked underneath her mask. "And thats a wrap- ARGH!" Rize yelled out in pain, hilling over. Her eyes suddenly became throbbing with sever pain. As a natural reaction, Rize hastily took off her mask and put her hand over her eyes. "Dammit! I completely forgot. Using the Mangakyo Sharingan, even once, can put a huge strain on the eyes." Rize moved her hand from over her eyes to find a bit of blood that have gotten on them.
Suddenly a grey blur appeared in front of her. Rize looked up to see a hand inches away from her left eyes. "Wha- AHHH!" Rize's left eye is suddenly taken out by the young masked man.
"One down, one more to go." He said as he went for the other one.
Rize, now covering her bloody eye stock with her hand, watched in horror as he inched for her right eye. Before the masked man could took take her other eye, he suddenly found a red blade touching the side of his neck and Rize in front of him began to turn red like blood. The masked man opened the hand he had Rize's eye in and found blood in it's place.
"A substitution jutsu huh? Even after being in sever pain."
"How did you survive?" Rize questioned him, narrowing her eyes at him and keeping her sword at his neck.
"The power of the Mangakyo Sharingan is not as inescapable as you may think. The moment I saw you activate your Mangayko Sharingan, I nope out of there before you did anything." The mask man told her, not feeling threatened by the fact that there is a sword at his neck.
'So it has a range limit then. I have a bad feeling about this guy. Apparently he knows the repercussions of using the Mangakyo Sharingan.' Rize let out a small growl. 'Its clear that hes not like the others. Also, he saw my face. I have to kill him, no matter what.' "Since you're the leader, I'm expecting a good fight out of you." Rize said as she put her mask back on. "Because I'm going to show you why they call me The Blood Crow." With that, she snapped her fingers and the blood from her substitution transformed into spikes, aiming the impale the masked man.
Deep in the forest, Sakuya is having a pretty tough time with Kakashi. Not only does he have more experience than her, but due to his Sharingan he can read her movement, making the fight very difficult for her.
Sakuya landed on a tree branch and began running. 'Damn! Where is he?' She though as she hastily scanned her surroundings for Kakashi. Seeing that the coast is clear, she hid behind a tree trunk in order to catch her breath and recollect herself.
"Geez" Sakuya panted heavily as she rested, trying to catch her breath. "This guy is insane. He seems to know what I'm going to do next. Is it because of his Sharingan?" Sakuya peeked around the tree trunk to see if she can catch sight of him. "If I want to have any chance of winning this, I have to think of a plan. Skills don't mean anything if you don't have a clear vision of what you're doing. Thats what mom always told me."
Kakashi is hiding in one of the nearby trees, keeping himself concealed from Sakuya. "Shes hiding as well." He said to himself. "Looks like she know that keeping yourself hidden is just as important in battle." Kakashi dropped out of the leaves and landed on a tree branch below. He pressed his back against the trunk of the tree he is on. "Also, judging by her fighting skills, I would is she is around chunin level. And shes able to keep up with the pace of battle and doesn't seem to be tiring out. Its almost as if she has the same amount of stamina as Naruto. But..." Kakashi's eyes narrowed as he thought about the battle so far. "Not once has she tried to go for any of my vital spots. Maybe she has a motive or just light hearted."
Just then, Kakashi heard a small russell in the trees above him. Being put on guard, Kakashi looked up to see that it is just a squirrel. With that, he relaxed. But for some reason, his instincts is screaming at him to take another look at the squirrel. Kakashi took another look at the squirrel that is crawling down the tree towards him. At first he saw nothing wrong, that is until his Sharingan picked up something that made his eyes widen. 'THATS NOT A SQUIRREL!' Kakashi jumped off the edge of the tree branch just in time before the squirrel exploded!
Kakashi landed on a tree branch below him. 'Thats was an explosive decoy.' Suddenly Kakashi heard something land on the tree branch as well. He looked ahead and saw Sakuya running towards him with her Rakuyo. Kakashi draw out a short sword he has with him and charged that her.
Sakuya jumped into the air, perform a frontflip, and came down with a downwards slash which Kakashi stopped cold. With a powerful push, Kakashi pushed her off causing her to fly through the air. While she is flying, Sakuya focused her chakra in the palm of her left hand and shot out two pinkish red chakra balls.
Because of his Sharingan, Kakashi could tell where their going to hit, so he easily deflected both of the chakra balls. But unfortunately, there is a third one that slipped through. "What?"
'Just as I thought.' Sakuya though with a smirk. 'Just like when I trained with Rize and Kazato. The Sharingan can only predict what is coming that the user, but it can't predict what it doesn't see. In other words. He saw my attacks, but he didn't see that it is a cover up for my true intention.'
The chakra ball hit Kakashi's legs, encasing them in red crystals. "A crystal style jutsu?"
When Sakuya landed, she threw her Rakuyo at Kakashi and dashed towards him. Kakashi saw the double-edged weapon spinning towards him. With that, he deflected it with his sword, causing the Rakuyo to bounce off into the air. The moment that happened, Sakuya jumped into the air again and caught her weapon by the handle and came down with an attack. 'Aim for the shoulders. A person can still survive with just one arm. IF they get medical attention immediately. Once I cut off his arm, I'll stop the bleeding so he doesn't bleed to death, but I won't do anything about the pain. I need that to make him pass out.'
While Sakuya's next coarse of action is running through her head, Kakashi smirked. He suddenly poofed into a cloud of smoke.
"What?! It was a shadow clone this whole time?!" Sakuya gasped with shock as the katana part of her Rakuyo passed through the cloud of smoke and struck the tree branch.
The moment she landed, a hand reached up out of the tree branch and grabbed her ankle. "Wha-" Before she could finish that word, Sakuya is pulled down into the tree branch, only her head remaining above. Sakuya struggled in vain her, body trapped in the tree branch. "H-How did he-"
"The jutsu I just got you with is called, Earth Style: Head Hunter Jutsu." Kakashi said as he appear out of nowhere and walked up to the struggling Sakuya with his hands in his pockets. "That wasn't a bad strategy. Using an explosive decoy to seek and draw me out. In fact, I remember that. Its an assassin's tool, isn't it?."
"Well, you have me on the ropes on. Why don't you just finish me?" Sakuya said with a sharp tongue.
"Mainly because I have some questions that need to be answered. Also, through out the battle, it seemed that you weren't aiming to kill me. In fact, you kept going for spots the will cripple me. Whats your reason? Its either that or your light hearted."
Sakuya smirked. "Don't get ahead of yourself there with the questions. You haven't caught me yet." With that said, she too poofed into a cloud of smoke.
"So she made a clone as well." Kakashi sniffed the air and got a hold of her scent from above him. He looked up to see Sakuya free falling down towards him with her weapon. "So just like me, she was hiding while her clone did the fighting." Kakashi couldn't help but grin. This reminded him of when he sparred with Naruto and Sakura.
Sakuya began spinning her Rakuyo around like a windmill, creating a whirlwind of rose petals. "Try and dodge this! Wind Style: Razor Gale Jutsu!" Sakuya threw the whirlwind at Kakashi, leaving a trail of rose petals as it travelled.
Kakashi evaded the attack by jumping off the tree branch. The razor whirlwind cut the huge tree branch clean in half. The tree branch fell, crashing with the other tree branches below.
"Not done yet! Haaah!" Sakuya did a one handed hand sign and swiped her hand back. As a result, the razor whirlwind came around and began travelling back, heading towards Kakashi.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Kakashi called out, creating a shadow clone that grabbed him and pulled him out of the way of the razor whirlwind. Using his incredible hand speed, Kakashi performed a series of hand signs faster than the eye can see. "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!" A huge dragon of fire came rushing towards Sakuya.
Sakuya casted another razor gale to counter the dragon of fire, splitting it in half. The fire zipped pass Sakuya and struck the tree branches above, setting them ablaze.
Sakuya landed on another branch below her, getting ready to launch another attack. Before she could, Kakashi's clone transformed into a sword which Kakashi grabbed. "Wind Style: Razor Gale Jutsu!" Kakashi copied Sakuya's jutsu and threw a razor whirlwind at her. But instead of it having roses, he added in his own touch...lightning!"
"Thats my move! Shit! Shit!" Sakuya jumped to avoid the attack. When she did, Kakashi appeared in front of her. She swung her blade in retaliation. As a result, Kakashi clashed his sword which Sakuya's, knocking it out of her hand. Sakuya's Rakuyo spun in the air and ended up getting stuck on the side a tree.
"No!" Sakuya shouted, seeing her mother's double-edged weapon being separated from her.
"Always keep your eyes on the enemy." Kakashi said, appearing behind her.
Sakuya gasped. "Dancing Leaf Shadow?!" Before she could do anything, Kakashi wrapped her in bandages and they both began spinning head first towards the ground. Yes, this is the Primary Lotus.
"I...won't...let you!" Sakuya's chakra began to appear. Like before, instead of it being blue, it appeared as a mixture of light red, pink, yellow, and orange. With that, crystals started to on Kakashi hands and started to travel up to his arms. Seeing this, Kakashi let go of her to get away from the crystals.
Using her chakra, Sakuya created crystal spikes to rip her way out of the bandages that restrained her. Ripping free, Sakuya recovered herself and landed on a branch below her. Soon after landing, she jumped to another tree, avoiding the falling burning tree branches from above, crashing down. Focusing her chakra to her feet, Sakuya ran up a tree trunk and leapt from tree to tree, trying to get to her Rakuyo.
Kakashi intercepted her on one of the tree branches, keeping her from her weapon. Sakuya didn't waste any time fighting Kakashi with her taijutsu. Naturally, having more experience than her, Kakashi defended against every single one of her attacks.
"WHAT OF MY WAY!" Sakuya screamed, throwing a right punch at Kakashi which he easily stopped by grabbing her wrist. With that, Sakuya opened up her hand right in front of Kakashi's face.
"What is she-" Before he could finish, his Sharingan predicted something that he never seen before. Using his reflexes, Kakashi let go of her hand and ducked. The moment he did he suddenly heard a really loud 'bang' sound. It was a gunshot! "What...was that?" Yes everyone. Kakashi Hataka dodged a bullet at point blank range!
A trail of gun smoke seeped out from underneath Sakuya's sleeve.
Not wasting time, Sakuya took off towards her weapon. "This a little further. This a little..." Sakuya reached her hand out to her mother's weapon. Before she could get to it, a dark figure came out from behind the tree and attacked with a palm strike.
Sakuya landed on a branch and rolled. "What...happened? What was that?" She asked herself, holding her head as she got up on her feet. Kakashi landed on the same branch a few feet. The second person who attack Sakuya dropped down on the branch as well, standing a few feet behind her. It is Ao.
"That was a than rather impressive display. I didn't think someone this young can hold this long against you Kakashi." Ao said to Kakashi, confirming that he was watching the fight.
"Yeah, she surprised me too, but be careful. There is no telling what she might have up her sleeve." Kakashi mentioned to almost getting hit by whatever it was she did.
'Reinforcements?! This isn't good. I was so focused on my enemy that I didn't even sense anyone else. Come on Sakuya! Think of something!'
"What did you find at the cave?" Kakashi asked Ao, keeping his eyes on Sakuya.
"A half eaten corpse was found at the scene. It is believed to be the mist ninja who casted the barrier jutsu to confine the prisoner. As for the prisoner himself, he escaped." Ao informed Kakashi. "Also, I've sensed two other individuals in these forest earlier, but they suddenly disappeared and only you remained." He said looking at Sakuya. "I wonder, did you have something to do with that?"
Sakuya gasped and her eyes widened. 'Hes a sensory type too! So he is the one I sensed.' This isn't good at all. The long this fight went on, the worst things become. The fact that Ao is a sensory type means that he can track down Kazato and Rize. She had to do something or else they will fail.
Sakuya glanced towards her Rakuyo. She couldn't stick with just taijutsu, remembering how that got her nowhere against Kakashi. Now that she is sandwiched between two enemies, her best opinion is to be reunited with her weapon. But the problem is how will she get to it. Both Kakashi and Ao will most likely keep her from getting to it.
Sakuya started to make a move until Ao stopped her. "Stop right there. You have no hope of fairing against the two of us. Its best you give up now."
"Give up huh?" Sakuya got sight of a smoke bomb on Ao's side. She then did a quick glance at Kakashi who is behind her. Without taking a second though, she took off running towards Ao.
'What is she...' "Ao! Careful!" Kakashi shouted.
Ao got into his fighting stance. "Heh. You have no where to go, so you decide to charge you enemy head on. Big mistake." Ao threw a palm strike, aiming for Sakuya's chest.
Sakuya evaded the attack by dodging to the side, off the branch. Using her left hand to grab the branch, Sakuya swung herself to the other side, getting behind Ao.
"What?" Both Kakashi and Ao said that the same time. Ao turned around to catch sight of a smirking Sakuya with a smoke bomb in her hand.
"Wait?! How did she..." Ao noticed that is HIS smoke bomb. Sakuya leaned off the side, falling off the branch, tossing the smoke bomb at Ao which clouded his vision.
"Damn!" Ao coughed, unable to see. Using a wind style jutsu, he cleared out the smoke cloud. "That girl..." The two shinobi looked around for the young girl until they spotted her on another tree branch with her weapon in her hand.
"I guess I have no choice." Sakuya said to yourself. "Guess I'll have to take my gloves off, like Kazato said." With that, Sakuya's multi-colored chakra appeared around her body again. Some type of wing made out of chakra began forming from her right shoulder blade. Sakuya placed both hands on the handle of her double-edge sword and caused it to break into two separate blade. A katana in her right hand and a long dagger in her left. She looked down at the two men as if she is the predator and they are the prey. The eyeholes of her crow mask growing red. The branch that she is on started to get covered with crystals from Sakuya's chakra.
"This doesn't look good." Kakashi said as he activated his Mangakyo Sharingan, seeing that things are about to turn ugly.
'I know I've seen this before, but from where?' Ao though as he activated his Byakugan.
