Satori regained consciousness and noticed the events that were taking place and what was happening to his daughter. He had to do something to protect her. He stumbled to his feet and was able to pass through the protective shielding provided by his daughter.

"YOU GET AWAY FROM HER!" He yelled.

Satori leapt into the air and cocked him arm back as it caught fire.

"Katon: Ryu-ken no jutsu." (Fire Element: Dragonfist Technique)

The mimic ninja looked up at Satori and just as he was about to smash his fist into it's head, the thing pushed his daughter away from itself and it too leapt out of the way just as Satori attacked. His fist smashed into the ground where the mimic ninja once stood. It looked at him and then turned to leap away. He was tempted to go after it but his first concern was his daughter.

"Hitomi, are you okay?" He said pulling her up from the ground.

She held her head as if she had a headache.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

The others started to gain consciousness now. Hitomi released her technique by doing the seal of the Ram and the shield vanished. Satori was impressed that she was still able to maintain it while being attacked.

"What was it doing to you?"

"I'm not sure. It seemed like it was probing my mind."

"Do you know what it was looking for?"

"All I could think about was Konoha. I couldn't think of anything else."

"That's where it's going. It's going to Konoha. We need to stop it." Junshin said.

"If it gets to Konoha then we won't have to worry about Akatsuki destroying the village. It will have already been done."

"That's it." Hanako said.

"What's it." Satori asked.

"If we create a duplicate village then it will stop and not get to the real Konoha."

"Then what? Do we invite it in for fake tea as well?" Junshin asked.

"We'll destroy the village and it along with it. I can use a certain technique that I've learned. However, the rest of you will need to get out of here once I start doing the technique." Hanako said. "I'll be using clones to do it so I'll be leaving as well."

"If we fail then Konoha is done fore. We'll make our stand here." Satori said.

With all of them doing the same handseals and the same body movements at the same time, they were able to turn their surroundings into the village that they called home. Once finished they looked around and if they didn't know any better they'd say they were home. The only exception was that the bodies from Soukutsu were visible here.

"It feels like a ghost town." Tenten said.

"That's because it's not far from being one." Gin said.

"I sure picked a good time to take command of the team." Satori joked. "You sure you don't want to take command now?"

"You're doing fine, Satori." Aoba said with a smile.

"We have to make sure that the mimic ninja is definitely here." Hitomi said. "It could be just outside the fake village. I'll do it. I'm the only one suitable for it."

"What makes you say that?" Tenten asked.

"Because, once Hanako does her technique then I can just envision myself else where and be out of here."

Satori was very reluctant to let her do this but he knew she was the only one to do it.

"Fine, but be careful." He said placing a kiss on her forehead.

She smiled and then leapt away, heading deeper into the village.

"Ok guys, it's time for us to get out of here." Hanako said as she put her hands in the position to do Kage Bunshin.

"Kage Bunshin no jutsu." (Shadow Clone Technique)

Four clones appeared in a cloud of smoke. They all nodded to the real Hanako and then leapt into the air heading in four separate directions.

"They're not going to do Limelight are they?" Aoba asked.

Hanako nodded. "Now let's get out of here."

The team leapt into the air heading towards the main gates.

Hitomi ran through the village looking to make sure the mimic ninja was inside. That was the only way that this plan was going to work. Then she saw it. It was standing on the Hokage Monument looking over everything. It spotted something towards the main gates and leapt that way. Hitomi figured that it spotted the others. She pulled out and threw a kunai up at the creature to get its attention. It stopped in mid air and saw Hitomi. It then changed its mind and headed for the female ninja. Hitomi was amazed that it stopped its motion in mid air and then changed its direction without any leverage. Kana was right; the dreaded mimic ninja was one of the wonders of the world. If they could've captured it, it would have been a prize unique to this area, one that might open up new doors of understanding. But somehow she didn't it would survive in captivity, nor would any cage hold it.

I'm sorry, we have to kill you.

Then four bolts of lightning shot to the sky from the four corners of the village.

"Limelight."

She knew she only had a few seconds to get out of there once the bolts of lightning met in the middle of the village. Then she felt a horrible pain in her stomach. She groaned and doubled over. She knew she had to get out of the village immediately, or she might pass out. She tried to focus, to will herself outside the village, next to her teammates, anywhere, but she couldn't even get a clear sense of thought. It was as if she once knew a foreign language but had somehow forgotten it, in the blink of an eye. She staggered across the ground, barely getting her legs to carry her body. Then she saw the four lightning bolts meet in the middle. They were about to destroy the village.

I'm going to die. I'm no longer one of them.
