Chapter 36
Sasuke and Haku clash blades with both of them being equal in strength. He manages to throw a kunai to force Haku to dodge and kicks him away.
"Thought you were quicker huh" said Sasuke.
"You really shouldn't get too cocky Sasuke." said Aylana.
"You're one to talk" said Sakura.
Kakashi turns to Zabuza. Zabuza laughs. "Haku, if you keep toying around with him like this, we'll be the victims here" said Zabuza.
"Right" said Haku. He places his hands together making a weird hand sigh. "I'm sorry it's come to this." Giant mirrors of ice start forming around Sasuke taking the shape of a dome. "Secret Jutsu: Crystal Ice Mirrors" Haku then walks into one of the mirrors his reflection then appears in all the mirrors.
Kakashi runs to Sasuke but Zabuza jumps in his way. "If you try to enter this fight you fight me" said Zabuza. "Your boy has no chance against that jutsu."
"Now we'll begin" said Haku. "And I'll show you real speed." Suddenly Sasuke gets pummeled by lots of needles cutting him left and right. He screams in pain. The kunai in his hand gets knocked back and lands just in front of Aylana.
"Sasuke!" said Kakashi and Sakura. Sasuke curls up into a ball to try and protect himself.
"Damn" said Aylana. "Sakura, stay by Tazuna's side. I'm going to help Sasuke."
"Right" said Sakura.
She lights her gloves on fire charging to Sasuke. she comes to one of the ice mirrors and punches it setting it on fire. The fire however quickly fades away.
"No amount of fire can melt these mirrors" says Haku. Aylana backs up and forms some hand signs. "Wind Style: Pressure Hands" small concentrated amounts of air form around her hands. Her hand light one fire again this time the fire spirals around her hands forming a bunch of fire rings around her hands and turning blue. She charges up and goes to strike the mirror. When she punches it, the mirror manages to crack. This shocked Haku and He throws needles at Aylana. Aylana is struck in the shoulder by the needles. Getting blown back. She slowly gets up. Suddenly she sees Sakura throw the kunai that was on the ground towards Sasuke. Haku creeps out the mirror and manages to catch it. After that occurred, a shuriken comes and strikes Haku in the face. He falls out the mirror onto the ground. A giant puff of smoke suddenly appears. Haku slowly gets up. The smoke clears revealing it to be Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki is here" says Naruto smiling. "Now that I'm here everything will be alright. You know how in stories the hero usually shows up at the last minute and kicks butt, well that's what I'm going to do right now."
"Naruto you're an idiot" said Aylana. "At least Menma stays focused in a fight."
"Why'd you have to bring up my brother at a time like this?"
"I see why Sairana hates you."
Naruto glares at Aylana. "You really going to go that far with this?"
"No I just didn't go far enough."
"You know what shut up Aylana."
As the two argue they fail to notice Zabuza throwing shuriken at them. Aylana turns around and sees the shuriken holding up her hand. "Ezeerf" says Aylana and a strange marking glows underneath her glove and the shuriken in front of her stop in mid air. The shuriken aimed at Naruto continue towards him until Haku uses his needles to stop them. Everyone looks on in shock at the two of them.
"My bad Naruto." said Aylana. "I was so focused on arguing with you I forgot we were in a battle."
"Um how did you do that?" said Naruto to Aylana.
"Tell you later right now we have enemies to defeat." Aylana focuses on Zabuza. "Nruter" the shuriken suddenly return back to Zabuza striking him in the chest and back.
"What the hell was that?" said Zabuza.
'Right I forgot' thought Kakashi. 'Aylana Bizana of the Bizana clan. One that specializes in blood ritual Justus.' He turns his attention to Haku.
Zabuza pulls out the shuriken. "That kid's going to be problematic"
Aylana drops to one knee. 'Damn' she thinks to herself. 'I didn't think such a simple jutsu could use so much chakra. Guess that means I can't spam it….. However, I can use this to my advantage. They will likely realize that fighting me at a distance will be problematic. They will most likely try and fight me up close and from there I can use my gloves to ignite them.'
"Zabuza" said Haku. "Let me fight them my own way."
"The boys are fine but the girl will prove problematic with your fighting style" said Zabuza.
"That won't be a problem. That maneuver used up a lot of her chakra. She won't be able to use it that effectively against me."
'Shit' thought Aylana. 'He noticed. Plan B'
Aylana jumps over to Naruto. "Listen" she whispered to Naruto "I need you to sneak in to where Sasuke is and back him up. While he attacks from the inside, I'll attack from the outside and we'll get him."
Zabuza scoffs. "As usual you're too soft. Very well, I'll let you handle them" said Zabuza.
"Thank you Master Zabuza" said Haku. He walks over to the mirror and merges with it again. His reflection appears on all the mirrors. Sasuke suddenly gets shredded again. Falling down on to the ground.
"Sasuke, Naruto, Aylana think, you need to attack from both sides of the mirror" said Kakashi.
Naruto enter the dome and walks up to Sasuke. "Hey, I snuck in here to back you up" said Naruto.
Sasuke backs up in confusion then gets pissed. "You are a complete loser. Think carefully before you move."
"What do you mean? It was Aylana's idea. I sneak in here to be our back up while you and her coordinate an attack from the outside and inside."
"Huh?"
"Both of you can use fire style so she figured attacking both sides with fire style at the same time might work."
"Oh, sorry" Sasuke stands up and sees Aylana just directly in front on the other side of the mirrors. The two of them form the hand signs. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu" the two of them release a massive wave of fire from their mouths towards the mirrors. The two hit flames hit the mirrors but end up doing nothing.
"Damn" said the two of them.
"Wait, why didn't that work?" said Naruto.
"Nice try but that fire won't work on me" said Haku. Haku strikes again blowing the three of them back.
"Where's the attack coming from?" said Naruto. "Which one's the real one?"
"Try as you might, you'll never discover the secret."
"Well then, Shadow Clone Jutsu." Naruto makes a bunch of clones to attack that charge at the mirrors. "I'll just have to smash every single one of these mirrors." All of Naruto's clones are destroyed and he's blown back.
"These mirrors reflect my image and allow me to move at light speed through them. To me you appear to be going in slow motion."
"Great" said Aylana. 'I need to come up with a plan' she thinks to herself. 'if attacking from the outside and inside won't work than we'll need to draw him out of the mirrors into the open and then make our move.' She looks at her hand. 'I could try the pressure gloves again but that only cracked it. If I try another blood ritual jutsu, I'll end up tiring myself out using a lot of chakra…. I wonder if I have enough chakra to use "that" …no it takes too long to activate and without some kind of distraction, I'll be left vulnerable.' She clenches her fist. 'Damn the best I can do is wait.'
