Summary

The first mission has started... We still don't know what will be their own missions, currently the spy team is doing a great job, read to see about the offenses and defenses...

[Gomen, as in I'm really sorry... I've been overly busy, and maybe the next story would take time to update... bout a month or so! Wahhhh! Anyways, I'm trying to make my language English because, as we know, I really don't know if my stories are readable... hehe, I am stuck with so many assignments, advanced projects and so on... that's life, one of my friends say, though, I enjoy it being there, it lets me take consideration and first priority of my studies, since I'm aiming for tops... I'm doing this at my spare time, for four hours only, and well, I'm happy that my plot is still in my mind XD... So far, I'm advancing to my 16th chappie, and well, this would be a great start for another creative thinking, expect war. I'm planning for 3,000 words or more, at least for that specified number... can ride it on.

I want to leave another message, I changed Kumoko to Mizuumi, since Kumoko belongs to the defense, just a slight reassurement ... my copy is all blurred, and their techniques are still being on the on go, Nasake and Neji both belongs to defense too and Hinata belongs to the spy team... Lots of fighting pairs coming up next, and at this chapter you would see a person's real color

Chapter 16

Decision


"What do you mean?"

"It's simple, I see everything clearly from now on, and we were placed here because they expect us to be crunched from the attacks. That's what defense and offense are for right?"

Tsume nodded as they watched from the high tops the scenery and view, they could see everything clear, from all the points and location, satisfied, they lestened their guard down and took a nap.


"Are we all ready?"

"Roger that, approaching the base 24 seconds left"

"Team A, ready!"

"Team B ready!"

"Team C ready!"

"Team D ready!

"Team E ready!"

"Team F ready!"

"Team G ready!"

"I'm ready!!!" Naruto said aloud, which made everyone smile, all was perfectly planned


"Naruto are you ready, follow the plan, we'll be surrounding it" Mizuumi signaled everyone


They were in pairs of two, that's why there are seven groups, and Naruto will either join a group from them.

Team A

Masako Rai and Rei

Team B

Mizuumi and Yukino

Team C

Nakao and Katsu

Team D

Sakura and Sasuke

Team E

Sairei and Nawake

Team F

Hoshi and Inoyoko

Team G

Kumo and Kura

---------

"Kage Bunshin!!!"


A hundred Narutos came crushing down the isle and this alerted the other group. Lee volunteered to take on Naruto together with Ten-ten; the others were left to guard the base.

After chasing him for so many hours, Naruto made all of the bunshins disappear and grinned widely... "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" He said loudly to the Shiwa note... Team G appeared from behind and battled with the two, Naruto meanwhile kept watch, he won't be needed here.

Ten-ten prepared for her kunais while Lee used his taijutsu stance...

Kura disappeared and readied for his kunais, his specialty was weapon and stealth, and he knows lots of ninjutsus too...

Kumo meanwhile made some hand seals "juyon no fuin! Level five!" he attacked head on towards Lee, his straight jet black hair following his moves.

"Long time no see"

meanwhile...

"They've fallen for the trap" He stood triumphant, the nine of them went to their own places

A moment later hundreds of kunais and shuriken hurled the offending group...

"This has no use! Fuuton: Shogai no jutsu!" with a gust of wind, the weapons did not make it to the ground; it was predictable that they would have set traps. "Team D, there's an opening, use taijutsu and we'll do the rest" a random team member informed

Katsu activated his camouflage technique, and the others did the same... As expected, they were easily located by using byakugan...


"They say that the offence and defense is currently fighting for the scroll, and they've started the battle"

Shino said, as he put down the bug, Hinata nodded and both went back to their places...

"But... Shino, do you think everything would be alright... I mean, Naruto and Neji san..."

"They will... they are strong right?"

"Thank you Shino" Hinata said, as both of them jumped off.


"You're not going anywhere!" Kumoko said as she made a kick that was easily defended by Rei... "Oh common Rei, you should not be wasting time, we should be tailing for Team D, there are six remaning Nins there, and do you think they could manage it?" Rai said

"I think" She coughed up some blood, having straightly hit on the stomach... "KUMOKO!!!" She said as she reached for her spear at the back and attacked her slicing her hair... "You bitch!" Rei smirked...

"I would enjoy tearing you to pieces like the last time, remember?"

Kumoko spitted in front of her and made the match to begin. She chanted some words... "This is my newest genjutsu and I don't think that you know anything about it yet, did you think that all I thought of was fashion? I've been waiting for this day... and this is the right time to make you bow to me, my beloved rival"

'New genjutsu.... Maybe I could still use long ranged attacks... ninjutsu and kai would be the best choice for me'

Rai sighed and decided to fight with Hano... "So how's it going?" Hano hugged himself before putting on both his gloves and rushed towards Rai, who blocked the incoming kick.

"I'm at expert at poisoning, one gash of blood... you're dead" He said as suddenly stopping, Rai made this opportunity to get his sticks... "Sen suttekki" using the swift hand movement, he was able to make air currents come and attack together with the metal he was holding. His eyes shot back as he heard someone scream...

'Rei...' before he could move, he already saw Hano in front of him...

"shoot..."


"I'll go this way" She made it towards the stairs and left her teammate on the other way, she was well capable of handling two chuunins, but more, she can't... it would be a miracle if she could survive.

"Tell me what's happening there" using the Shiwa, she communicated at everyone... "One of us I think, Rei, was put on with a genjutsu, and the other members are still fighting, don't worry, there are only seven left outside, Keiko and Haname has been dealt, I think Lee and Ten-ten are already losing, there are six guards there, we team B and C are on the way for backup" Sakura smiled, this was just normal.

She made her presence fade to a low level chakra... and kept her eyes peeled off.

'If someone stands in my way'

"I'll kill them..."

"Who are you going to kill?"

As she looked up, it was none other than Nasake... "I thought you were fighting outside?" She temptingly asked... "What if, I've shifted places, I want to test and fight you" She smirked and got her Katana... "I have a scroll to get and we only have until sundown, we want to win this mission, and sorry, I'm not letting you in my way..."

"Is that so?" His byakugan was activated and he saw that the small chakra she was eminating returned to its normal state, which alerted some of the other guards inside the tower... Sakuya and Yoroshii moved down upon the scene and decided to not interfere...

"Let's see if you can manage this..." Her face turned serious and familiar hand seals as she practiced before came appearing... "Sen Ken!" Seeing this, he jumped and used his chakra to maintain balance at the ceiling, she stumped her feet, getting her two kunais from her pouch, and she angled it to both his hands... "Now let's see" "Shi no Odoru"

"Don't rush, tsk tsk, you can't beat me if you're rushing like that" He walked in front of her while his head was cascaded downwards, his hair slightly falling into view, not a trickle of sweat was present...

She moved her head towards the ground, he kept nearing and nearing until their faces were only and inch apart...

"I know you're not there Sakura, you can't hide from me" he got the two kunais from her and stabbed her apart, which immediately puffed into smoke...

Getting his two kunais and shurikens, he was able to pinpoint her direction and make seven throws; she was using taijutsu combined with genjutsu that was not enough...

She stopped running since it was also ineffective... 'So he rather stays on his own place than move... I'll make him move...'

"Fuuton: Yari no jutsu" A gust of wind blew her hair and specks of needle like wind spikes made their way towards Nasake...

"Not enough" He disappeared from the view and appeared behind her, delivered a kick towards her neck, which sent her tumbling... She never thought that he could evade that...

"You'll pay for that!" She hurled towards him, and prepared for launching three kunais, which was dodged easily but used as a camouflage for her next attack, she managed to kick him at the face, but...

He managed to deliver a punch at her gut... it made her cough up some blood, after almost falling, he grabbed her by the hair... "So is this what poor Sakura can only do?" "Shut up"

She didn't move, while he started doing some handseals...

Her face turned dark, as she got a kunai and dived down, making him release her hair, immediately turning around, and swinging her hands in a rythmitic way...

"What are you planning?"

"I'm planning" she waved her hands in a forceful way, and all of the shurikens and kunais that fell were controllable by her... "This!"

She made them all encircle him, and he was too late...

All of the kunais and shurikens made their way clasping him in a manner... Until it changed into a log... 'Kawarimi?'

"Gotya" He said as playfully as a child and he came to her side, he yanked her from behind, holding his right hand to her neck with a kunai and his left hand at her stomach... and changed from malicious...

"I would enjoy making you feel miserable and paralyzing your whole body" He said as he nudged his head to her neck...

She forced a struggle for releasing her right hand, but it didn't work...

"Are you enjoying what you are doing... bastard... Release me!?" She said as she noticed that he had already made a gash out of her neck...

"Let's say, yes" As he started doing the Jyuken style and quit playing around

Like before, she tried heeling backwards and letting him follow his movements, but as if not on cue, he didn't move...

He gathered chakra from both his hands and prepared for a painful treatment...

Before doing so he said and declaimed...

"Haruno Sakura, you are going to lose"

She smiled and said... "I'm not going to lose, since it seems like my friends are already here, that makes it even, show yourselves now!"

Mizuumi and Yukino appeared from behind while Sakuya and Yoroshii appeared beside Nasake...

Nasake tightened his grip at Sakura who bit her lower lip in frustration... "But I don't think that it would make a difference"

"Hmph" She now gave her best to turn around and give him a kick at the neck... He easily dodged it but he lost grip on her so she managed to escape...

Yukino and Mizuumi both prepared for the attack, while Sakura managed to heal herself using her chakra...

Let's see how the others are doing...


Himu and Inoyoko was still fighting, Himu was perfect at reflexes and stealth, while Inoyoko was practically having a very good defense, they kept receiving blows then healing, it was a tight match... To their side, you could see Naruto fighting Sabushin, using taijutsu and ninjutsu, though he can't much cope up with the kage bunshin.

"Where are you?" Ten-ten said, while silently concentrating on where the opponent might be... "There..." She flashed 6 kunais and targeted the shadow that she saw...

A misty voice was heard... "You know? I'm just playing with you... and secondly, you are slow" the persona chuckled, what Ten-ten didn't know was that he was just using a decoy, and was already behind her, to stab her behind the back...

It clashed, steal versus steel, apparently at the last second, she figured everything out and she managed to block the kunai and was able to step backwards to prevent any further damage...

"Multiple fire star! Katon: shuriken tayo no jutsu" five came from all directions, east, west, north, south, all aiming for her...

She decided to jump so that all of them would come clashing with one another, but no, it still went towards her, burning a part of her pants and embedding slight wounds.

More followed, and Kura just watched on how she tried to evade it, he stayed in his place and let his blonde bangs fall and so as to sleep...

On the other hand, Lee and Kumo were both fairing with speed and their kicks and punches were both the same, though Kumo had the upper hand by using the sixth up to the thirteenth seal, which was more like the opening of the celestial gates.

They used the disappear, kick punch throw, somersault, disappear, kind of style and both were just playing and enjoying the game, at the same time, being serious as well, though the main point was to not make them come back and help the others by keeping them busy there.


Sasuke activated his sharinggan, when he felt chakra tailing from behind him, he was surprised when it was his teammates. "How are the others?" Katsu nodded... "We beat up Haname and Keiko, they were easy, since the others caught them of guard, all that's remaining to do is to get the scroll and we are out of here"

He nodded and continued searching from it, now they were at the fifth floor, the first second and third were not really a problem, the fourth was full of traps and at the fifth, they still don't know.

Silently, before them, someone was chuckling behind the masks...

Before anything could happen... Sasuke noticed a line, no multiple lines obscuring the path...

"Don't move"

"Why"

"Traps... throw your kunais and cut the lines, let's see what happens"

The three of them moved backwards and threw their kunais...

The moment the lines were caught, hundreds of traps came upon their view, one line made rocks come down the ceiling, the other made a log to swing towards their sides, spikes were shot from the floor, bombs, ice, everything one can think of... the three of them sighed, and then they heard a very irritating sound.

One was clapping, and the other two smirking.

Chouji, Neji and Shiage appeared at the nearby door...

Shiage immediately did the formation


"So are you annoyed as to what you're seeing... hmmn? Maybe I need to let it kill you so that I won't see your dumb face again Rei! I'll kill you! I WILL... I WIL I WILL.... bwahahaha"

"Second seal activation... ni tenpu fuu! After the hell of the glorifying... burning sensation... and the murder of your father and mother? ... Let's see you experience this.... Hailstorm wind!"

Kumoko was almost a heretic; she was obsessed 'in killing' Rei... That's what happens when rivals have a very extreme competition.

Rei screamed in agony as she was strapped in the middle of a tornado... in her mind it was though in reality she was standing upright free for any attack.

"I think you already lost to me... and that's for the second time out of ten tries! THIS IS GREAT!!!" Kumoko rejoiced and giggled freely when she heard her speak... She was slightly panting and did a peace sign.

"Kumoko... this is not over yet... I'll... show"

Before she could even snap out of it, she collapsed... right in time, Rai arrived...

"I'm sorry for the interference, sorry Kumoko-chan, but anyway, we are even, your brother lost and you win, we'll retreat, for now..."

"No YOU CAN'T I DEMAND HER BACK!!!!! URGGHHHH!" Veins were popping at Kumoko's head and she started looking more like a Demon...

"It can't be helped" he sighed, he sent five kunais pinning Kumoko to a tree, she didn't notice it, maybe because she had used all her energy trying to activate the second seal.

He disappeared into a much safer space, piggy back riding his sister Rei, which is still moaning in pain.

'so that means, Kumoko really practiced... she's not the same girl I know before... my sister should learn to respect her by now... she has proven that she has a talent after all' he agreed to himself and leapt towards the river side, where he could take a nap and rest... he too had lots of injuries compared to Rei, however Rei only had few, but that was fair since she was put on a genjutsu....


"Let's see Uchiha if you have improved"

A rustle of the leaves was heard...... BEGIN!

Both of them disappeared in a blink of an eye, Shiage immediately done some familiar hand seals...

'I already know how to evade the 64 points of Hakke... and also the Jyuken style... I don't know what he's planning but he might really lose to me because I know how the byakugan works, the problem is, I know he progressed further than the last fight, his defense has been absolute'

He smirked and hurled two kunais to where he knows he'd appear...

'Uchiha Sasuke... how disgusting, let's see how you improved, Sharinggan huh?'

He blocked both of the kunais and used both of his fists to send a chakra wave towards him

He in turn evaded it and landed behind him, immediately slashing him apart

It puffed into smoke and he barely hit him

They both had matched skills and it would take for long to finish the battle

Chouji was teaming with Shiage. Both were using their best techniques... Shiage specialized Genjutsu, now that's a problem. Katsu and Nakao did their best to dodge the real and unreal weapons being given to them both.

"Fuuton: shashen!" Nakao got his bandages and gathered all his chakra, "Let's see how you find this?"

Two air currents are now approaching aiming for them both... Chouji smirked

"I can face that!" He changed into the ball type him

"Baika no jutsu!"

[Ei... that's what I want it to be called and that's what I got from the net....] and faced the two wind slashes, it hurled to his direction and he massed it with speed and much force.

Nakao sighed; he looked up to Katsu who was hanging from the ceiling currently performing some hand seals.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu! Togake!"

A slightly bigger human sized lizard appeared on the view; it was white and was slowly turning into black...

"Shiage-sama, why did you call me?"

"Use your Katon technique; we need to finish them off"

"Okay... please command me"


Koryuu was playing with herself while arranging her bangs, her school assassination uniform still strapped too her, She smirked as she looked back to the place where she came from... "Those silly Anbus... they think they could catch me, no one can" She freely laughed as she trailed the blood, she cannot control herself... Although she spared one, she just put a nemurihane jutsu on that certain person, and that was a girl, at the age of 17.

"Sakura-chan... sorry if I have to do this... I'm still younger than you after all" she smirked "but I'm much stronger" laughed "I'll really need to play with you, someday, I know we'll meet again, and this is a part of that someday, let's see you experience... pain, you should have gone trhough that before" She said while banging both of her hands at the sink...

She was in a rest room, and eight lifeless souls were scattered, limbs torn apart... Eyes poked out, her hands were full of blood, but she doesn't care...

"Oh, too bad, my Onee chan wasn't here, she would do much more..." She laughed again as she took one last look at the mirror and finally revealed her other half's face... It was full of green and blue lines and curves... symbolizing seals...

"Sorry for being such a naughty girl Mitsuki chan! I'm going to play with her... Now!" She dropped back her bangs and vanished, leaving no trace or clue.


"I'm not going to lose to you..." 'Because that's my decision'

She made precise predictions up to where he would be appearing next...

"There!"


About two hours had already passed and both teams were still fighting


[Okay... I was not able to make this the longest chappie I've had, but I'm currently dealing with my next chappie .
