Part 3

Misao glared at her foe. The illustrious missing-nin, Uchiha Sasuke, who, many years ago, had left Konohagakure no Sato to obtain power from an evil ninja named Orochimaru, who also had once betrayed Konoha. While Orochimaru only wanted to use Sasuke's body in his quest for immortality and to learn all the jutsus there were, Orochimaru was killed before he could take Sasuke. Sasuke fled the Sound, and instead of joining another village, stayed as a minnsing-nin to find Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi was Sasuke's older brother. At age 13, Itachi was an ANBU, and simply to test himself, slayed his entire clan. Killing every sing person, except Sasuke, and leaving Sasuke alone. Itachi told Sasuke to hate him, to want revenge, and Sasuke became obsessed with revenge. In Sasuke's mind, there was no present, no future.

Just the past…

"Uchiha Sasuke, I'm warning you…" growled Misao, mentally going through anything she had in her arsenal that could hold off Sasuke. She knew very well she had no chance though…

"Kukukukuku…" chuckled Sasuke, leaping down from the trees. His eyes were crimson, with a ring around his pupil and three teardrops on the wheel. The Mangekyou Sharingan. The kaleidoscope eye. Possibly the most powerful of bloodlines, the Uchiha's Sharingan eye could copy any jutsu the user sees, and can predict what a person will do. "You think you can defeat me?"

"Hah. I wouldn't dream of it…" replied Misao, bringing her hands into a seal. "But I'll sure as hell try to stall you till Naruto-sama arrives."

"Kukukukuku…" Sasuke laughed. "You couldn't possibly be able to hold me off, even with anything that idiot has taught you…"

"M-Misao, what is going on here?" asked Kenshin, looking at the two enemies. "There is no reason to fight, I'm sure we can work this ou-."

"Shut up! If you interfere, you'll die. If Naruto-sama doesn't get here in time, I'll probably die!" yelled Miaso, turning to Kenshin, glaring at him.

"But Misao… Killing is never the answer…" stammered Kenshin.

"Kukuku…Quite Naïve, isn't he? Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" yelled Sasuke.

"Kenshin!" yelled Misao, running at Kenshin and grabbing him, before leaping un into a tree. Kenshin looked down and saw Sasuke breathe an enormous burst of fire.

"Damn, attacking defenseless people!" yelled Misao, ignoring the fact that to normal people, Kenshin would not be considered "defenseless." "Well then… Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

Unlike her previous use of the jutsu, Misao wasn't holding back. The clearing was filled with hundreds of black haired, dark blue eyed, and angry Makimichi Misaos.

"I'm gonna kill you!" roared all of the Misaos.

"Kukuku…" Sasuke laughed. "The dobe's favorite skill… Pathetic. It has never worked on me…"

"It will this time!" snapped Misao. Then, each clone performed the hand seals and Sasuke's eyes widened. "KATON: KARYUU ENDAN!"

"… Damn…" muttered Sasuke, as each and every Misao took a deep breath, and a dragon, made completely of fire, burst out of their mouths. Kenshin's jaw dropped and Kaoru passed out. Yahiko, however, looked on in awe.

"Awesome…" whispered the swordsman.

After the flames cleared, the clones of and the original Misao gazed at the flames, as they slowly dissipated. They gasped when they saw Sasuke, uninjured and covered in black flames.

"Naruto-sama told me about this…" whispered the original Misao from her perch on the tree. "One of the abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan… The Ameratsu…"

"Kukukukuku…" The black flames cleared and Sasuke looked up at Misao. "Ready to continue, or should I kill you now?"

"I'll never give up!" yelled Misao, glaring at Sasuke. "It's my ninja way!"
