Satoshi sat on the limb of a tree, Eiji sat on the ground beneath him. Satoshi felt it when the last of his reanimated minions were destroyed. "Yuina and Hiro have been destroyed." He announced.
"What should we do Master? Should we go to her?" Eiji inquired.
"No. She will come to us." Satoshi answered. "She should be here in about five minutes. Maybe even sooner."
"She's that close? How can you tell?"
"My power allows me to sense the anger in the air. She wants vengeance. She wants to take my life."
Just then a silver dragon swooped down from the air and headed straight for Satoshi. He and Eiji leaped to safety and the dragon obliterated the tree. Satoshi's eyes widened slightly at the pure destruction that the dragon caused. She's even more powerful than I thought possible. With her in my power, I won't need anyone else. He thought.
Another silver dragon flew over and raced for the Satoshi and Eiji. They once again jumped out of the way as the silver dragon destroyed the area that they had just occupied. That's right...there's always two. It's the Twin Dragon Jutsu for a reason. Satoshi reasoned in his mind.
However he was caught off guard by the third dragon that showed up. What the hell? He thought as he barely escaped the jutsu. Unfortuneately for Eiji, he couldn't escape it. Eiji was completely destroyed. There was nothing left of Eiji. I can't even use his body. Satoshi thought. That little bitch.
Satoshi looked around him for a place to hide. It was then that he noticed he was surrounded by Mizuki's silver dragons. The four dragons had curled together around him and formed a dome around him. No way out. She's good.
"Do you have any last words?" Mizuki asked.
"Not really...I'd rather just show you." Satoshi replied. He then quickly formed his hand signs just as Mizuki was making hers. He was instantly surrounded by a large black mass. The mass then began to expand, getting bigger and bigger, until it exploded.
Mizuki had called her dragons back to surround and protect her from the blast, knowing that she wouldn't be able to jump away in time. Her dragons had shielded her from most of the blast, but they hadn't been able to fully protect her. The force of the explosion sent Mizuki flying backwards. As she flew through the air, she couldn't move or right herself and she saw long tendrils of darkness coming right for her. She was trapped.
"You're mine, Mizuki." Satoshi said, his voice coming out as a low hiss.
Mizuki's heart rate picked up she saw the darkness coming for her. She was helpless. It was then that she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist and pull her out of the way. "Lightning blade!" Kakashi then appeared in front of her, destroying the tendrils with his jutsu.
"Don't worry Mizuki. I've got you." Gai said, his voice coming directly behind her.
She was barely able to hear her brother's voice and then watched as their enemy was surrounded by a cloud of burning ash. So, my big brother had to get in on my rescue, too. She thought. After a few seconds, Mizuki felt Gai ;and and then gently set her on the ground. Kakashi and Asuma landed close by her.
"Are you alright, Mizuki?" Kakashi asked.
"Fine." She answered, breathing heavy.
"Are you sure? You have blood coming out both corners of your mouth." Asuma countered.
Mizuki pulled herself to her feet and glared at her brother. "I'm fine. I've been worse." She then sensed that an attack was coming and it was coming right for Asuma. She quickly called one of her dragons over to coil around him and shield him from the attack. A long black tentacle of darkness hit the dragon and bounced off. "See, I'm perfectly fine." She then had her dragon uncoil from around him.
The cloud of ash and smoke cleared. "My, my Mizuki. You're more powerful than I expected...and it looks like you're important to the people of this village."
"You could take that as a reason to surrender." Mizuki replied.
"Oh, but you're missing one key factor...it was my jutsu that destroyed your entire village. If need be, my jutsu will do it again."
"Who are you?" Kakashi asked.
"My name is Satoshi." He answered. "You are Kakashi the copy ninja. I also see Asuma Sarutobi and Might Gai. You three along with Mizuki will make a powerful addition to my collection...well you'll be my new collection. Seeing as how you've all destroyed my collection."
"How dare you!" Mizuki shouted at him. "How dare you treat people like that...life like that. Your collection was filled with people. People whose lives were cut short just to help you gain more power. People you just saw as a means to an end."
"That's all there is in life...power." Satoshi replied. "And if my power can be combine with yours, controlling it, I can rule the world."
"Brother...how many times must I tell you this is not the way to gain the power of the Yozora clan?" a familiar voice came from behind Satoshi.
Mizuki, Kakashi, Asuma, and Gai all looked up and watched as Hiroki leaped from a tree and landed beside Satoshi. "I thought I killed you." Mizuki said.
"Oh, well love, that's one thing you can't do. You can't kill either of us. We're immortal." Hiroki answered. "All you did was destroy one of my many physical vessels."
"One of the many perks of being aligned with the darkness." Satoshi added. "We can't die."
"Now, Satoshi you can't kill my bride." Hiroki said, completely ignoring the Leaf Shinobi now.
"What the hell is going on here?" Asuma asked, looking at the exchange confused.
"I'm guessing a family squabble." Mizuki answered.
"Then this is our opportunity for an attack." Gai said.
"It might be a trap." Kakashi replied.
"There's only one way to find out." Gai replied
"And how many times must I tell you, Hiroki, that that this is the only way to gain their power. Your way depends on her falling in love with you and bonding with you...which I'm pretty sure you're already too late on."
"No, I am not. Besides even if I were, she'll have a daughter and I'll just have to pursue her and make her my bride. It's the only way...to marry one and have a child...a child born to both bloodline traits...a powerful child and obedient to her father." Hiroki countered.
Gai pulled out his nunchacku and charged at the enemy. "He's never going to learn is he?" Mizuki asked.
"Nope." Kakashi answered.
"But the same could be said about you." Asuma said, looking at his sister.
Miuzki glared at him. "You've had hard times controlling your emotions, too. So, don't even start to lecture me, Big Brother." She then turned her attention back to Gai as he headed towards the two brothers. Just as he was ready to deliver a kick to them, black tentacles of darkness were heading right for him.
Mizuki quickly had one of her dragons wrap around him and protect him from the blow. Once the darkness had missed, Mizuki then pulled him back out of the way. "Okay, here's the deal, no one just goes head on with them." She declared.
"That's a smart idea." Satoshi said. "The smartest thing would be for you to just surrender, but I know that you're all very head strong."
A gust of wind blew by and Mizuki heard her mother's voice whisper in her ear. The Four Dragon Sealing jutsu. You're the only one who can use it, my little Hoshi. Mizuki knew exactly what her mother had meant.
"Mizuki?" Kakashi asked. "What is it?"
"I know how to defeat them." She answered.
"What can we do to help?" Asuma asked.
"Come closer and I'll explain." Mizuki answered. She then explained to them her plan.
"That could work." Asuma said, when she finished explaining her plan.
"That's enough arguing brother." Satoshi said. "Why don't we just capture her and decide what to do with her later?"
"That sounds like a plan to me." Hiroki agreed.
"I'm afraid we can't let that happen." Kakashi said, coming up beside them and then making his hand signs. "Water style, water dragon jutsu." From the lake behind Kakashi, a water dragon sprang forth and went right for the bickering brothers.
The brothers quickly used their darkness to protect them. Asuma came up behind them and threw his chakra blades. The blades went to either side of them and missed them. Then Gai came up on the other side of them and threw a couple of kunai at them, missing them.
"Is that all you three have? Throwing jutsu and weapons at us and missing entirely?" Satoshi asked.
"You put up a better fight before." Hiroki agreed. "Are you just running out of tricks?"
"Not really." Asuma replied. Then he and Gai tugged on something they couldn't see and the brothers were trapped inside wire. The wire glowed silver, with chakra Mizuki had infused into it. Her chakra was able to suppress theirs and it made the wire stronger.
"What?" Hiroki asked.
Just then Mizuki's dragons shot up through the ground, each taking points at the north, south, east, and west. "We have a new trick for you." Mizuki told them. She then formed her hand signs and the dragons began to circle around the two men. "Four Dragon Sealing jutsu!"
The circle the dragons flew in, began to get smaller and smaller, closing in on the two brothers. It closed in until the two men were consumed by the dragons. The bodies of the brothers had been destroyed and all that remained were inky blobs of darkness. Mizuki opened up the earth beneath her jutsu and the dragons dropped the darkness into the earth, with a bit of their fire surrounding it. Once it was inside, Mizuki closed the earth back up.
"They're sealed... away for... good." Mizuki said, breathing heavy. She then called her dragons back to her, they crawled back up her arms and legs and to the places that they were supposed to be. She then ended her transformation, her hair turning back to black and the silver marks disappearing.
The world around her began to spin and he knees began to buckle. "Mizuki!" Kakashi called out. He then leaped over to her, wrapped his arms around her and catching her before she could fall.
"I'm...okay. I...just need...r...rest." Mizuki answered. She then passed out, falling limply in Kakashi's arms.
Kakashi carried her to the hospital. Asuma and Gai staying right with them. Once they were in the hospital, Mizuki was rushed away and a medical ninja attended to Kakashi's leg. After that, they all sat waiting to find out how Mizuki was doing.
