Chapter 37: Mia and Sho vs. the First Hokage! Ino and Haku meets up with an old enemy!
Mia and Sho after getting shoved away from the Fourth Hokage, immediately jump towards the west side of the roof top from the oncoming wood like pillars that were heading their way as the two kept back flipping and cartwheeling out of harm's way.
Especially when the first Hokage after getting done sending out the pillar like wood attacks towards the two charged forward at Sho first since he was the closest and arch his fist back forming wood around the right arm in a way to increase his physical attack, and lunched it forward towards the fleeting man who hiss in worriment of not being able to dodge it in time, only for said wood like punch slamming straight down from somebody kicking right on top of it! This surprised the First Hokage a bit, but could see some blood droplets flying off the persons leg when they did this and saw that it was Mia who deflected the attack all the while grunting out badly from the splinters and injury she received from kicking the attack down into the roof tiles, as it tore off piece of her anbu outfit a bit near her ankle.
Before the first Hokage brought his free arm to sweep punch into the girl Sho, after slamming down his legs onto the tiles and quickly as he could lunge forward and tackle the first Hokage away from Mia as the woman landed on the ground, grunting and wincing her eyes a bit trying to ease out the pain that was shooting through her ankles. Then looked up after hearing Sho yell out in pain as he was being kicked over the Hokage as well receiving a powerful wood in powered kicked into the stomach that sent him couple feet away from the two of them.
Standing up as well cracking his neck a bit from pushing one of the Anbu's away from him, he opened his eyes towards the Hyuuga woman who immediately got up onto her feet and brought out her anbu blade in defense. Getting ready for whatever or whenever Hashirama Senju will strike next as the two just stared down each other as well hearing Sho finally landing into the tiles, making a slight imprint onto the roof as the man subsatute right before crashing into the roof top and reappear on all fours trying to control his breathing as well the pain that is shooting across his stomach.
"I hate to say this but you two are not skilled enough, or strong enough to take me on. Whatever this reanimation jutsu does or the effects that is giving to me, it seems you won't be able to kill me by normal means…" He explained towards Mia who gritted her teeth…He was right though she and Sho have no way in hell's chance be able to win!
This is the man who founded the Leaf village, created the very woods outside and around this village! As well taking on one of the most powerful of all Uchiha's in the past. If they were going to be able to defeat this guy as well survive and live for another day. They need to find a way past his wood style and a way to officially kill him without using up all of their chakra and stamina…
Clutching her blade even tighter as well flinching her pale blue eyes towards Sho, who grabbed a hold of his sword and facing it towards the First Hokage with the blade generating small sparks of fire from the hilt, indicates that Sho is going to go all out in this battle as well nodding towards Mia in a way of saying, ready when you are.
"One thing that I have learned over the years and life in this village is that you shouldn't underestimate your opponents all that often. Even the slightest of lax or drop of the guard will end up with you dead! So believe when I say this" She paused while twisting the blade a bit, so that it was facing behind her as well generating wind around it so this way she can use her wind jutsu.
Hashirama smirked a bit and knew that these two will be formidable opponents, but are still young and don't have the right experience to be taking on Hokage level enemies. Feeling surges of chakra surrounding him and inside he felt his body charging forward towards the woman as she then slashed her sword crisscross as blade of winds came out from the swords as she finished her sentence. "For the people of the village and the ones we love, we will not nor ever surrender to those who are stronger than us! Wind Style: Wind Scythe jutsu!" she yelled as five different wind blades came rushing towards the first Hokage whom, was easily dodging them as well as jumping over one, then sliding underneath the other, gaining great distance between him and Mia as the woman was litterly hopping backwards and away from the charging Man who is getting closer and closer, only that she grin and jumped right over him after he appeared underneath her with his leg's extended as well poised into hitting her chin.
He knew why she did that as Sho, somehow appeared behind the woman and hop into the air with his blade ready to slam straight down into the ground. "Kenjutsu style: Burning blade wave!" shouted out Sho as he came into contact with the roof tiles, as roaring flames came bursting out from the tip of the blade and rising high as well charging straight towards the first Hokage, who immediately jump up onto his two legs and slamming both of them down on the roof. Quicker than the eye could see form hand signs faster than Sho could follow with his Sharingan eyes, widen in fear as the Hokage thrust one arm forward that extended into wood like barks that broke straight through his fire style! As well grabbing onto the man with a loud crack of the wood making contact into him as well constricting around him!
He then thrust his other arm towards the still air born Mia, who also widened her eyes in fear as she went upside down and started forming some hand signs quick as she could. Then inhale a lot of air into her mouth and fired out. "Wind Style: Air bullet!" she thought in her head and fired off three different small bullets of air, only to fail miserably when the Fourth Hokage suddenly appeared in front of her and stretched out a scroll like paper that absorb the bullets and disappeared again as the wood arm latched onto the woman all the while constricting her as well.
Feeling the two in his grasp, he quickly brought both arms up above his head where the two Ninja's slammed right into each other with pain shooting through their heads and came slamming straight down in front of Hashirama as the two screamed out in pain from their body's as well feeling the splinters from the wood scrapping all across their bodies, then the First Hokage keeping Mia in her place lifted up Sho and did a whip motion behind him releasing the man as he soar through the skies and crashed back into the ground with loud grunts as well screams of agony as his body rolled and tumble across the roof top.
The First Hokage then turn his attention towards Mia only to blink his eyes into seeing that she wasn't in his grasp anymore, so canceling out the jutsu as well reforming his arms. He quickly started scanning around his surroundings wondering where the girl had disappeared too. Only to quickly slammed both hands together and formed a giant wooden shield encasing him and protecting him from exploding Kunai's as well a Water Dragon Jutsu slamming into the said shield, pushing both him and the wood around him deep into the roof top.
He open his eyes slightly as he heard a sword slamming up against the shield, as well covering it entirely with nothing but fire as he heard mumbling words of. "Fire style: Flame wall trap!" announced Sho who inhale some air into his lungs and blew out a stream of fire on the wooden shield that was burning brightly as well shimmering with lots of power, hopefully as well praying that would at least dehydrate the Hokage with in the shield.
Mia who landed onto the roof top as well coughing slightly, with her hands covering her mouth felt blood smearing her glove, never realizing how powerful the jutsu the first used earlier was. That and the fact he slammed both her and Sho together would've added more damage to the two's bodies as well. She looked up in hoping to find where Sho was and saw him was encasing the wooden like barrier with his Fire style. Knowing full well that won't be enough she let out a stream of air to get her body and nerves calm again and raised two fingers up in front of her shouting out. "Byakkugan!" she cried out.
Everything then went black and white with her vision as well chakra signatures being seen everywhere, as she could clearly see that the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage were going toe to toe with each other, as well Orochimaru trying to sneak in some attacks himself to surprise Sarutobi as well getting his guard down for a brief moment to deliver a final blow.
Taking her eyes away from that battle, she then faced towards where Sho was as well Hashirama who was being covered by the dome like wood. Being engulfed by the powerful like flames that were being released by Sho himself, only that she found it odd that she was seeing two different chakra signatures, she then widen her eyes at the sudden realization that the Hashirama inside the dome was a Wood clone!
"Sho behind you!" cried out Mia, as the woman quickly darted forward as fast she could. All the while forming hand signs for her great water fall jutsu. Sho who heard her cried out to him as well telling him to look behind him did as he was told all the while swinging his sword around, to clash into Hashirama's own wood like arm as sparks flew out a bit as well the wooden arm kept sliding forward. Knowing he needed a plan to get out of the attack, heard what sounded like rushing water and immediately as well as kicking the First back a bit, jumped as high he could with chakra infusing around his feet hearing the Hokage shout out in pain from. "Water Style: Great Waterfall jutsu!" Mia shouted as giant waved crashed and engulfed into the first Hokage, only for it the water jutsu not being powerful enough. On the account that there wasn't much water around them and that they were high up on the building.
Because of that and the distance between any nearby water, left Mia with little choice but to send out a weaker version of the jutsu long enough to push him away at the same time protecting Sho who came back down from his jump and landed next to Mia who rode the wave in a way to get close to her partner. "Thanks Mia although you should turn your Byakkugan off before it starts hurting you" Sho announced knowing full well that two minutes have probably passed when the woman activated her eyes.
"I'm alright to keep going, I am not losing focus or sight of the first Hokage!" She announced too her partner, as he let out a few even breaths to keep himself calm and collective considering that they were still in danger as well knowing that this Reanimation jutsu will not cancel out, until either it gets released or if the caster of said jutsu dies.
Mia who was ignoring the pain that were shooting through her eyes as well feeling herself going blind a bit from over using her byakkugan for too long. Was starting to get worry of how the outcome of this battle will end as well it's going to be a very long recovery for her vision to return back to normal after this is all over.
The two then widen their eyes and started scanning around their surroundings all the while, trying to keep their balance on the roof tops. Seeing and watching wooden barks and branches and leafs were starting to grow and morph out of the building that they were all standing on, as they were coming out high and mighty, covering the entire purple like barrier dome, enclosing both the inside and the outside for hindrance of visual contact from inside as well those who are on the outside.
Mia and Sho who were witnessing this as well jumping away from each other, in order to land on top of one of the branches so they wouldn't get constricted by this massive jutsu power. Were both kneeling and breathing heavily as the situation change drastically towards the first favor, since he is one with nature and that this is one of his most powerful jutsu that created Konoha in the first place!
Mia who was searching for any signs of the first Hokage, can still hear the battle going on with the Third and Fourth's battle taking place couple distance away as well the explosions and use of high level jutsu being emitted by the two of them. Before she could go and regroup with Sho, who shouted out towards the woman with fear behind his voice shouting out watch out to her.
Only didn't reach in time as Mia made a jump forward only for the branch underneath her, shoot out straight towards her right leg and slammed her back down into the branch and then up into the tree bark, causing her too gasp out along with blood coming out from her mouth from the impact. Feeling the many branches and twigs slowly encasing her up against the bark, squeezing the life out of her as her doujutsu were threatening to turn off on her and knew once it does. She wouldn't be able to fight at all from being blind, despite all her other senses increasing too their fullest.
She watched with slight fear as the First Hokage started morphing out of the branch below her, with sorrowful eyes as well the armor he wore back in the past when he fought against the raging Uchiha's and the Nine-tailed fox. "As I said you two are not yet experience enough to handle a Kage, though I am very pleased and impressed with the both of your wills too keep fighting this long" He explained to Mia as she was trying everything to struggle free from her confinement, only for it to squeeze her tighter all the while constricting her arms and legs, that were being pulled into the bark. She then widen her eyes in fear as the Hokage was making some hands signs, as well having a wood clone come out from behind him to deflect Sho's Areal attack from the air, as his sword clashed with the clones wood arm.
"Please forgive me for what I am about to do, as you are a great Anbu young one." He then finished his hand sign with two fingers facing up as everything surrounding Mia started to twist and turn, as well as spinning and becoming very disoriented a her entire world was falling apart in front of her. The last thing she heard was Sho's battle cry and anger getting the best of him as he watches Mia receive a full blunt attack from the Hokage's jutsu.

It was cold, it was dark and no sounds could be heard for miles away. She didn't know where she was or what type of jutsu the first Hokage used on her as she couldn't sense any living things nearby nor could she see anything beyond her face. It was too dark and fear was starting to creep up into her body, as well starting to breath heavy and fast.
"Sho…Anyone, please someone answer me!" she shouted through the darkness as her voice was the only thing that was echoing through the dark abyss, all the while not getting any answers back or any type of response back as she could feel herself raising her arms in front of her…But not able to see them at all nor her body when she could feel her head moving down to look at herself. But nothing, she couldn't see her outfit, she couldn't see her hands, arms, legs anything!
Her one thing she risked and fear in all hyuuga's in history, was losing their eye sight as well the ability to use Byakkugan! She was completely blind as she didn't understand how the First Hokage haves manage to use a jutsu too seal away her eyes, let alone knowing he had that type of ability in the first place? She was starting to get scared as she could feel her teeth grinding against each other, her body trembling from the cold dark abyss covering around her, the tears were starting to break through her eyes as the one thing she feared the most was becoming blind…
She fell to the cold hard ground with her arms and hands facing upward, as her knees were tuck in as well she could hear her small sword rubbing against the ground. Her tears were coming in full force, as she had failed to do her duty and help protect the village from the wrath that is Orochimaru and his summoning of the First Hokage. Sho her best friend probably right now is fighting against the first as she was thinking this right now, trying desperately to stop Hashirama from killing her as well as the Third Hokage who is fighting against the fourth right now.
She couldn't do anything right now and because of not hearing Sho's warning in time, as well keeping her guard up she got trap by one of the Hokage's attacks and manage to pin her up against the tree bark, squeezing and constricting her entire body. Squeezing the life out of her in a slow painful death, a Sho is doing everything he can to get his attention focus onto him and not her.
What makes things worst…She is abandoning Haku. "HAKU!" she suddenly screamed out as she whip her head up and widen her eyes in pure shock, as she could see a down and bloodied Haku lying motionless in the dark abyss, her hand slowly flinching as well her eyes starring with no life in them at her adoptive mother desperately clinging onto the edge of her life as she was calling out to her mother too help her. This caused Mia's heart to break just a bit, but then suddenly realized something? She could see Haku. She could see the brown road that is part of Konoha streets with enemy ninja surrounding the girl laughing and taunting her for the fail attempt into recuing her mother.
Mia is in a GENJUTSU!

Hashirama, who was still holding onto the Genjutsu as well trying his best to keep Sho away from him with his wood clone, started gritting his teeth a bit as well his hands trembling from keeping the jutsu up on the woman in front of him. "I don't understand she shouldn't be able to break free, all Hyuuga's fear the one thing the most and that is losing their eye sights, what else is she seeing?" He questioned to himself as he was desperately trying to hold the Genjutsu, only to go widen his eyes in shock as the girl replaced herself with a wooden log, temporally the Hokage a bit as he quickly looked to his left and then right only to receive a full blown hit in the stomach by Mia's Jyuuken strike that sent the man flying backwards into his wood clone, that Sho immediately jump out of the way before he could get hit by the two and continued the assault from there with.
"Fire style: Phoenix flower Jutsu!" he cried out as he brought two fingers up near his mouth, and start firing out multiple fire like birds towards the Hokage as when they made contact to him, started erupted into small explosions pushing him even farther away from the two.
Sho after landing back onto the branch and looking over towards where Mia was, blinked in surprised to the Hyuuga woman summoning about two clones of herself, standing both on her right and left as they were quickly going through multiple hand signs that even had Sho panic a bit and getting out of the way from the Jutsu she is about to use.
She and the clones then open their eyes wide with Byakkugan blazing as they all shouted out. "True Water Style: Great Leviathan Jutsu!" they shouted as multiple water dragon jutsu's came bursting around them and shooting straight up into the sky, breaking and piercing through multiple tree branches along the way as the three swirling dragons were slowly spinning and fusing into one another increasing their size and power output as it was changing into something completely different than a regular dragon head, as it reach too the its peak it swirled around a bit and faced downward towards where Hashirama was, as the man was imbedded into some of the trees as he is trying to break free from the impact. Only to shoot his head up at the very large and menacing Water dragon that actually had hands underneath its head.
Before he could escape and get out of harm's way, the dragon quickly roared out with its mouth opening wide, all the while shooting out a massive gush of water down towards the Hokage. Causing couple of the trees to erupt and break into million pieces from the powerful beam like attack, and then a few more started falling apart when the dragon finished its attack. Dive down fast and hard into where the Hokage was, causing a huge explosion sound and gush of water to go everywhere on the left side of the roof top. Pushing and passing through the trees as well as clashing up against the purple barrier that was causing steam from the water making contact into it, making some of the sound four to struggle themselves to keep the barrier up.
After the attack was done and over with, Mia brought both of her arms down limply as the two clones disperse from one another, and then started falling forward only to be caught by Sho who quickly appeared next to her and slowly ease her down onto the tree branch. "I gotcha don't worry…Damn Mia how come you never told me you had that type of Jutsu in your arsenal?" He jokingly asked the girl, who was doing everything to keep her breathing steady as well as turning off her Byakkugan, just as she feared she over done it and went past her five minute mark.
Everything was dark just like the Genjutsu the First Hokage used on her only for it too slowly change into her seeing and witnessing Haku's death right in front of her. It was a jutsu to show the person's greatest fear and as Hashirama said earlier a Hyuuga's worst fear was losing their eyesight…But not her, she didn't really take pride into her eyes. Her greatest fear was unable to see anything and becoming blind for good as well being useless for her village. But not anymore, after adopting Haku and raising her as a daughter and Ninja, her greatest fear is losing her only daughter from a dangerous mission or dying right in front of her.
"Sho…Please tell me that I at least knocked the Hokage towards the barrier…" she asked the Uchiha who raised an eyebrow at her, considering he just saw her aim the jutsu directly towards him as well the high chakra that was used with it. Would've been enough to send the Hokage drifting into it, before he respond to her question he lean forward a bit as he notice that Mia's eyes were glazed over, indicating that she went over the time limit and has become temporally blind for the entire day and cursed to himself as he should've figured the woman would have lied to him after asking her to turn off her doujutsu.
Before he could answer the two of them felt twigs wrapping around their ankles as well as lifting them up into the air and whip them straight back down into the branch, causing both to scream out in pain and then whip throw them away as they were soaring through the air and came crashing into a couple of tree branches as they went straight through them, causing the two of them too get splinters onto their backs and stomach as they finally slammed smack dab into thick bark and back onto their hands a knees, coughing uncontrollably as well blood dripping down from their cheeks, chin and legs considering they are almost reaching their limits with this fight and that only a miracle can save them now…
Sho then raised his head up with flinching movements as well spitting out a glob of blood from his mouth that stained the tree branch below him. He heard thumps of somebody landing in front of him and Mia as they were slowly approaching them. He moved his three tomoe red eyes up to the First Hokage, seeing that Mia's attacks did nothing to the guy as well as showing any signs that he was injured at all. He looked down upon them with no emotions in his eyes as well as sorrow in them, indicating he didn't want to kill his own comrades in this situation.
He then smiled slowly towards the two confusing Sho very badly, as well blinking his eyes as light started surrounding the first Hokage. "Don't worry young ones…the fight is over, you can rest for now. Remember your duty and protect the hidden village with all you're might" He explained towards the two, earning Mia to stare up blankly towards the First Hokage as well surprising Sho when the man lifted his own hand up to his face, watching himself slowly fade away. "Sarutobi was successful in his fight with Orochimaru, but I fear for the worst of his condition…But seeing how well the leaf village is, and the shinobi's that are strong. I believe this village will be forever protected by those who believes in themselves and never giving up hope on others…Farewell"
With that his entire body turned white and slowly disappeared in thin air, as the body was peeling itself slowly and fell to the ground, revealing another body within that had a child with the sound village symbol on its forehead protector.
So sneered at what was used in order to summon the First Hokage and knew what he heard from Mia, is that the boy was from Kin's team before she converted into becoming a Leaf Ninja. "Is it…over?" Mia asked with a low voice, as she couldn't tell if they have won or not as well unable to sense any chakra from the First Hokage.
"In the term of us winning officially no, but we did succeed from the First going to aid Orochimaru against his fight with the Third…" Sho announced slowly, all the while getting up onto his feet as he then approached Mia at the same time helping her up onto her feet as well wrapping her arms over his shoulders, as the two then leapt off in hopes to help the Hokage much they could.
But alas they arrived too late as Sho witness the Third using the Demon seal in order to seal away Orochimaru's arms as well giving his former student a lecture of how the Leaf will be able to rebuild itself and become even stronger. With that all done and over with, as well Orochimaru declaring everyone to retreat and fall back as the plans failed, had all of the sound ninja's that were gathered around the building fleeing from sight, before the Anbu could trap them or kill them on sight!
Carrying the dead Hokage away from the battlefield, thoughts were running through Mia's head and that was the safety of her two students Ino and Haku. Were they okay, were they safe are they doing a good job protecting the village. She didn't know and she hates the fact that she was being rushed towards the Medical hospital for using up a lot of chakra from that last attacked she used.

Speaking of Ino and Haku, the two girls were doing their very best as well wondering how in the hell, they get left with the job of escorting the civilian council towards safety? Considering all they were doing were shouting and screaming at the two girls. Who were trying everything to protect them from enemy projectile and Ninja's that were charging straight at them in hopes of stabbing either them or the council!
"Shit" Ino shouted as she charged up her hands with electricity and started throwing lightning darts at a few sand ninja's and sound ninja's. Considering, she haves the most advantage in this fight and glad too since lightning jutsu can cut straight through sand and earth without any worries. That would usually cause one of the sand ninja's to fall for her traps and get killed by her Electric palm current jutsu. "Tell me again how we ended up guiding these old coots?" The Platinum blonde girl shouted as she backflip away from one of the ninja's as they suddenly screamed out with ice piercing through their chest that caused both Ino and Haku to become slightly ill from having their first kills…Even though they have no choice in the matter.
Haku who shouted the icicle needles, quickly duck down from an arm sweep with the sand ninja holding a Kunai, ready to slit her throat only for him to miss complete and received one of Haku's Ice style jutsu that coincidently and somehow with still no control over it travels behind her instead of forward. Erupted on the ninja as the ice stab through multiple parts of his body and still continued on it tracks, doing the same too a couple more of the ninjas that were traveling behind.
She then stood up with her tail thrashing about and her ears twitching wildly from all the danger around them. Responded back too Ino as the girl induce some of her kunai's with electricity and threw them at couple more ninja's that were gaining their distance to the council, as they were slowly reaching too the shelters at the Hokage mountain. "If we don't protect them Ino and escort them too safety, despite their bias opinion about Naruto… They are still part of the leaf village and probably haves families to go back too. That includes Sakura's mom" she finished while thrust and stabbing two ninja's that appeared behind her with her senbons and started running behind Ino, as the girl was trying to catch up with the group they were escorting.
"Right" Ino announced embarrassingly, knowing well that Sakura will never speak to her again if something were to happen too her mother. That and Miss Haruno haves recently started coming into terms with Naruto as well with the other girls. Hell, Ino almost spent four hours one day just chatting with the older woman, asking how they were doing or what she saw in Naruto that made her want to be with him when she was minding the flower shop for her parents. "I definitely don't want to see Miss Haruno dye on us, especially since she is Sakura's mom" she said with her head low a bit, considering her friendship with Sakura was slowly returning and rekindling back once again.
Haku who saw this softened her looks a bit and shook her head, knowing how close the two used to be back when they were children and before meeting up with Haku. The two of them would share and do everything with each other, as well spending time with each other whenever they had free time. But since Sasuke came into the picture the two of them became bitter rivals and fought for the boy's love.
Before the two could even continue their conversation, they both thrust their heads up hearing some of the people in the group screaming, as well Ninja's appearing on top on the roof tops ready to throw their kunai's at the bunch as the two girls cursed to themselves, considering they were too many of them too take out as well as they won't be able to defend and attack at the same time.
Before they could panic, they saw the said ninja's suddenly screaming and flying off the buildings crashing down and hard into the ground with their bones breaking and snapping apart from a very tall man with the Akamichi's symbol on his battle vest. Giving the two girls a wide smile and thumbs up, while then Ino and Haku looked too their left seeing that one of the ninja's allies were attacking one another as well as killing each other. Wondering what the hell they were doing or why they were attacking their teammates, made Ino smile broadly up to the platinum blonde hair man that is her Father, who jabbed his thumb back telling the two too keep moving and guiding the people.
Then spike like shadows came piercing through the rest of them, indicating that Shikamaru's dad was also in the fray helping out with anything they could and clearing the rest of the way towards the shelters for the girls and people below as the two of them nodded their thanks and rushed forward in hopes of catching up as they were running side by side.
"Ino when this is all over I have a question I need to ask you?" Haku suddenly announced, earning the girls red eyes towards the ice user wondering what Haku wanted too asked, especially considering the situation they were in. Then blinked her eyes when the light blue ear and tail girl looked towards her with a confused smiled. "What made you change your mind about Sasuke and how did you instead fall in love with Naruto?" she asked towards the platinum blonde girl, who giggle with a bright smile as she knew that question was going to be brought up some day as well knowing it was bound to happen.
She then looked forward towards the shelter seeing that the ignorant council men were saying how the Jonin's did a better job than the Genins that were escorting them, as Iruka rolled his brown eyes at the ignorance they showing as well not showing respect towards Haku and Ino, knowing full well that even with two Genins escorting people of this majority will still be too much for them. Ino reply finally with harden eyes, knowing that their job aint over just yet. They still need to seal the shelters so this way the enemy won't enter and kill everyone. "I will gladly answer your question once this is all over Haku and boy will you be in for a big surprise as well being shock!" She giggled out towards the older girl, whom smiled back and nodded towards Ino.
Hearing both Haruno and Iruka shouting and calling out too them in a hurry fashion, as well saying they are almost there. Both widen their eyes in fear and shock when a water dragon jutsu landed right on top of the two girls, slamming and erupting into splashes of water as Iruka quickly grabbed hold of Miss Haruno who was reaching out towards them with shout of, "NO GIRLS!" her mother instincts were kicking in over drive knowing that Ino was Sakura's childhood friend as well friendly rival took a full blown attack from a water jutsu, as well as Haku as she knew how close her and Mia were as she spotted the Anbu and her daughter here and there some days, playing, chatting and acting like a bunch of children with each other that is never really shown between Mother and daughter before, made her slightly jealous but happy for the two.
But too see them get attack from a water jutsu out from nowhere, she just couldn't take it! "Let me go Iruka, I need to help them or do something!" she screamed as the man was doing everything he could to keep her from leaving the shelter doors as he was reasoning and calming her down.
"Miss Haruno it's alright their fine!" She just kept thrashing and doing her best to break free of his grip, as the woman was constantly repeating herself that they're not okay and that they were in trouble and had been attack. "They are okay Miss Haruno look!" he finally shouted as well pointing towards the two Genins direction, causing the woman to blink her emerald eyes as well widening them from the sight she saw…
Iruka was in fact correct! Ino, who had her arms above her head with her hands open wide as well Haku, kneeling down in a battle position as the two were looking at the direction where the attack was, were being covered in a shield like dome…But not a normal dome, this one was crackling and surging out of Ino's hands forming an electric shield around both her and Haku as the two girls manage and with the edge of their teeth. Blocked the powerful water dragon jutsu that would've broken every bone in their bodies with the way it was aimed at them.
Miss Haruno slouched a bit as well letting out a breath of relief in seeing that the two of them were in fact okay, as well reacting fast enough to deflect such a powerful attack. She then felt Iruka patting her shoulder a bit reassuring her that they aren't children anymore, that they are full grown ninja's!
Now the only question that remains is…Who used a water dragon jutsu on the girls?
XXX
"Okay that was way too close for comfort!" Ino panted out, considering she had have time to fully control this jutsu as of yet, as well this being her first time ever using it. But still glad of the results it gave as it protect the two of them from a powerful water style.
Haku who watched Ino's blonde tail flinched a bit as well puffing out her fur as well Haku's own fur from the static electricity, was informing the two of them that the danger wasn't over yet as she then looked forward and down the road they've took. "Yeah…now the question is that who used a Water Dragon jutsu? I thought sand ninja's only have wind?" She commented up towards the platinum blonde girl who finally turned off her jutsu and hunched down a bit from the amount of chakra she had enforce it with from the heavy attack.
Then the two of them blinked their eyes as well being confused from the sudden mist that was gathering around them as well becoming really thick. That Haku froze a bit with her eyes widening, her body trembling and shaking profusely that even caused Ino to look at the older teen in worriment as well raising an eyebrow then placed a hand on her shoulder asking. "You alright Haku…what is it that is…" she stopped in midsentence as she too froze on the spot, sensing the familiar chakra signature that she never thought will ever come again.
The two of them then slowly turn their bodies around down one of the street paths, as they saw a huge shadow like figure slowly approaching them through the mist, as their outlines was shimmering and slowly fading into eye sight as then Haku arms went limp as well dropping her held Kunai onto the ground as she whisper out…"Za…bu…za…"
As the man of the hour finally came into view, with his body all healed and repaired from his fight they had couple months ago at the Land of waves, as he swung his large sword up and onto his shoulders. Sadness showing into his eyes as well being soulless as the man just said towards the two girls. "I hope you girls improved over the past few months…Because I have no control over my actions right now…"
Thus their rematch with Zabuza begins once again as he is now brought back from the dead, but how is the question that is going through the two Genins head. As they prepare for the biggest fight of their lives!
