Chapter 52: Lady of the Lake…
Approaching a lake, a female teen stops and looks at the area. "Hmmm, it looks fine from up here but even I know that it's deceptive." She muttered as she landed wearing blue and white armor. 'Now to see if what I suspect to be true.'
At the lake itself…
'Is she going to be here on time?' A man thought as he looked across the battle field he was given. 'Lord Danzo knows my bloodline ability would come in handy dealing with a water user… by why send me to a place that I have all the advantage? No I shouldn't doubt him.' The guy thought as he caught sight of someone approaching the lake.
On the other side…
'Only one? Cye I think the underestimated me.' 'Yeah, and to top it off near water your going to be unbeatable in it.' 'Don't get cocky; we don't even know what this guy is capable of.' Haku thought as she stopped on the water surface near the guy with a fish mask.
"I see you finally arrived." The guy stated as he looked at her, and then proceeded to remove his mask. "Since it's just the two of us, introduce ourselves. My name is Sin." The Root member now known as Sin stated.
"Haku of Torrent." Haku stated as she stood up and waited for the first move.
"Good, now we can begin." Sin stated as he started to do hand seals. "Water Style: Waterfall Cascade!" He stated calmly as water rose up and slammed into the spot Haku was.
"Water Style: Waterfall Cascade!" Haku shouted out as she created one herself to negate his, but soon frowned when hers started to go at her, she then created an ice mirror behind her and fazed into it. 'He can control the water around him… but my ice abilities are harder to use, in this type of situation.' Haku thought as she allowed the mirror to sink into the lake.
'So she can create ice mirrors; that wasn't in the profile. Nor was the fact that she can use high level water jutsus.' Sin thought as he started to sink into the water himself.
At the bottom of the lake…
'Okay, Sin has high level water control almost like he was… a clone of the Nidame Hokage!' Haku thought as she recalled the information that he could create his own water source and control any water near him, then smiled as she recalled that it only worked on chakra enriched water.
"So you rather fight down here?" Sin asked as he had a bubble around him.
"Yeah!" Haku shouted as she raised one arm and the proceeded to raise the other, then she drove them both down. "Armor of Torrent Dao Shin!" Haku shouted as she then stood up and flashed blue light that exploded with her in armor. "And unlike you I can survive down here without aid. Super Wave Smasher!" Haku shouted as she pushed her energy at Sin with a blast of highly concentrated plume of water blasted at Sin, but was stunned to see that it slowed down and stopped.
"You forget I can control the water around your attack and slow yours down. Water Style: Giant Waterfall Cascade!" Sin shouted as he proceeded to blast another water jutsu at Haku, who didn't even react. "What a waste of talent."
"Don't start with the victory speech early, the only reason I retreated the first time was the fact that my sub armor doesn't make me immune to water attacks like my armor does. I'm unbeatable underwater." Haku stated as she realized it was a stalemate.
"So what! I can still beat you all I have to do is get you out of the water." Sin shouted out forgoing all the training he had and started to do hand seals for a major jutsu.
"That's not going to work." Haku stated as she lowered the spear and started to focus, but was shocked to here what jutsu he was planning to use.
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Drill!" Sin stated as he blasted out a massive earthen dragon at Haku.
'That's going to leave a mark…' Haku thought as she was impacted hard by the blast but was stunned that she didn't even feel it. 'When we're under water the only thing that effects us is that what already in the water, so all of his jutsus are completely useless.' 'Thanks Cye.' "I told you it wasn't going to work." Haku stated as she thought of ways to topple this guys abilities. 'If I use Surging water blast I just give him more fire power but it increases my combat power, to the point that I can use my bloodline's full power… How can I win when this fight is completely hopeless.' Haku grimaced as she just realized Hinata would win Naruto if she lost here. "I'll never back down…" Haku stated to herself as water started to circle her more.
"Water Style: Raging Whirlpool!" Sin shouted as the water flow stopped completely. "What's this!"
"Surging Water Blast!" Haku shouted as all the water in the lake just disappeared.
'Nani!' was the only thought that both had when it happened.
'Cye what just happened!' 'I have no idea!' Haku thought quickly as Sin prepared another jutsu and fired it at her.
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Drill!" Sin stated as the Earth dragon collided with Haku and was destroyed by a blue barrier around her. "How can you be so strong with no water around you?"
"I was wondering the same thing but this fight is over!" Haku stated as she placed her spear on her back. "Time you saw what my armor is capable of." Haku stated as she created two mirrors fast and fazed into one and reappeared out of the other one behind Sin. "And that means its game over." Haku stated as she kicked Sin into the air grabbed him and threw him hard into the air. "Raging Ice Dragon Rush!" Haku stated as she created a dome of Ice around Sin and proceeded to fazed back into the mirror near her and reappeared in all the mirrors around Sin.
"What is this trickery?" Sin shouted in fear.
"This is the power of my bloodline limit merged with my armor's power." Haku stated as she appeared out of one mirror and slashed him with the side of the wide tip before reentering another mirror, and then repeating it coming out of random mirrors and slashing him more and more till she looked more like she was dancing around him then dealing damage to him. "This is the final blow!" Haku shouted as she popped out of the top-most mirror and slammed into Sin shattering all the mirrors in the process and impacting the ground with a trail of water that looked like a dragons.
"It looked like a dragon that finished me off…" Sin stated as he coughed a little. "There's a gift that Danzo wanted me to have if I was victorious against you in my flak jacket… A summoning contract… he never stated what it summoned… Thank you for fighting me like an…" Sin stated as he died and Haku realized she just acquired a contract with an unknown creatures.
"Well for your sake Danzo didn't deserve you, if this had been any other way we could have been friends." Haku stated as her armor ejected all the water it absorbed back into the lake after she took the scroll. "Farewell Sin." Haku stated as she walked towards a location that her armor wanted her to go in. "It looks like all the fighting isn't over yet."
"I know." A voice stated behind her.
"Neji, I just got done fighting a major battle; don't sneak up on someone like that." Haku stated as she held her weapon in his face.
"Sorry, I just got done with my own fights, so I know your tired so let's see what our armors are up to?" Neji stated as they both proceeded to head north.
A/N: For anyone who wants to know what Raging Ice Dragon Rush looks like, it lookes like Omnislash Version Six from Final Fantasy Seven Advent Children Complete, it looked cool to me and Haku would be the only one who could actaully make it look correct. Surging Water Blast has two effects one creates water around her to protect her and increase her power, but she never tried it in water before, which in turn absorbs all the water around her. And now that this is the score: Ronins 4; Root 0. I wonder if the rest of the chapters are going to be just as long?
