Check out Animescale on youtube for how I am scaling Mika...
This is an all time favorite chapter for me, period of all of my stories.
If you like Ben Ten, check out my story A Student of Magic.
Atop the Hokage Tower with two dozen ninja
"Where is he? FIND HIM NOW!" Tsunade bellowed, her hands shaking and chakra spiking. She looked at her trembling ninjas, their terror at her power only made her angrier. " How did Danzo and his ROOT Attack such a well-known ninja in broad daylight? With the Hyuuga Heiress at his side at that?"
Hiashi approached her, eyes solemn with rage. "Hanabi always has a guard, even with Mika. They were found unconscious just minutes ago."
"Damn it, this was far too well thought out!"
"MEOOOOOW!" Tsunade cringed at the sound of Ghost's meows, the poor thing was freaking out the moment it learned of Mika's kidnapping by Danzo. He was yowling and screaming and shaking, breaking her heart.
Tsunade was about to ask Hana, who was also present, to calm him down, when Hana turned to the cat and gaped. "What!" The woman said, eyes wide.
"What, what is it?"
Hana rushed to the cat, kneeling. "Are you sure?" The cat nodded. " Ghost says he can sense Mika's presence! Mika's chakra made Ghost grow and evolve, they are linked in terms of chakra. He likely can lead us to him!"
With a sharp Gaze, Tsunade turned to the cat. "Ghost you take lead, take us to Mika's location!"
And with that, they all followed the cat as he rushed away, to the far Northeast the village, past the Hokage monument and into the forest behind the village. Tsunade was ready, finally she had a reason to Kill Danzo. She was well armed too, with Hiashi, Hana, Asuma, Yugao and Tenzo as the strongest Ninja in her little group, she was sure she had enough power to decimate the man that kidnapped Mika...
It was on and she was ready.

Mika knew to feign sleep as he woke, even while recovering from a concussion. He took stock of his current state immediately. 'My chakra is bound, I can barely feel it.. my limbs are tied, and I smell blood, taste it in my mouth. My ribs are badly cracked... and I am sure my left wrist is broken. I have a concussion, of that I am sure and my body is flush. I am almost positive I am being poisoned to keep me weak. I guess I should be flattered...' Subtly twisting his wrists, Mika found an instant way out, not out of his situation but out of the seals on his wrists. 'I should be able to siphon their chakra out, but then what? I am still sick, weak and badly hurt.'
"I know you are awake." Danzo said, and Mika looked up, blearily. Danzo was standing before him, looking annoyed. "You could have been great, with my help you could have been Hokage! Why did you deny me?"
Mika answered before he could stop. "I wasn't going to deny you until you attacked Hanabi!" He cursed. "A truth serum?"
Danzo nodded. "Yes, one we developed for people like you who are strong enough to resist mental jutsu." He leaned forward. "You have no idea what you did, forcing my hand as you did, with The Hyuuga's escape we have been discovered to be active! Tsunade is not Hiruzen, she will try her best to crush me and my ROOT! You ruined everything and the Leaf will suffer for it!" The man moved in a blur, and Mika's cheek exploded in agony, blood spewing from his lips.
He had just been backhanded.
Sighing and gripping the seals, he pulled and started to drain their chakra. If he was going to die, he would at least fight back damn it! "You brought this on yourself, and you know it, Danzo. Tsunade likely knew of you already, she put me on the Gaurd to keep me near her so I would be free from people like you!"
"That is likely true, but sadly for you, it means your end." The man stood straight and pulled a sword out of his cane, thin and sharp. "Be flattered, I rarely take matters into my own hands."
Mika sighed, readying himself for death, even as he absorbed the last of the chakra from the tags. His chakra, barely restored, was just enough for what he had planned. One last hurrah before he perished. Danzo raised his blade, but just before he lashed out, Mika flexed his hand and chakra and burst out of his bindings. Kicking back, he grabbed the chair and blocked Danzo's strike...mostly. His reaction speed was dimmer, and he got a bad cut on his left forearm but hey he was alive.
Breaking the chair against the ground, he yanked a piece out and held it like a blade.
"I may die today, but I die on my own terms, Danzo!" Shaking and weak, adrenaline shot through him, burning through his pain and weakness, giving him just enough power to block Danzo's strike that cut his chair piece in half before the poison took effect along side the concussion and Mika swayed where he stood. He threw himself to the side, and struggled to run off, only to have Danzo appear in front of him in an instant, sword rushing towards Mika's chest.
With all he had, Mika moved to the right and the blade only pierced his left shoulder and not his heart.
"You really do not give up, well-done boy." Danzo may have said more, but Something moving at insane speeds literally knocked his head off. Blood spewed from his stump, all over Mika who laughed.
"Finally, I thought I was dead." And then he fell back, onto the earthen ground where Darkness took him away as poison, bloodless, stress and a nasty concussion had their way.

Ghost rushed to his father, landing on him he purred loudly, letting his healing chakra flow into him. He cringed, seeing the injuries his father had. 'It is so bad! Tsunade needs to heal him, fast!"
Tsunade, who was behind the cat, moved past Danzo's corpse and leaned down to heal Mika. "Damn, he's badly hur-" Suddenly the woman threw herself forward, grabbing Ghost and Mika and moving away as a sword swung down where she had been standing. "How are you alive, Danzo?" Tsunade asked, looking at Danzo who was in fact right there, his previous body evaporating on the spot.
The man sighed, and he lifted his bound arm. Slowly he unraveled it, revealing a strange gold something. He took undid that as well, which revealed something that sickened even Ghost. It was a false arm, one covered in red eyes... Sharingans. His skin smelled of wood and Ghost wished he could tell Tsunade that. The man's chakra, now unbound, was massive, comparable to Tsunade's own, have quadrupled from the moment he took off his bindings.
Tsunade, oozing killer intent, looked at the man with hate. "You desecrated the Uchiha graves for their Sharingans!"
"Their power serves me and thus the village, I desecrate nothing. It is you who desecrates the Leaf with your weakness, and for that you must be eliminated, Lady Tsunade." And then he moved, at blinding speeds, swinging a fist at Tsunade, who easily dodged and rammed her entire fist into his chest, shattering his ribs and sending him flying into the wall.
The man vanished once more, appearing in the air and running through handsigns. "Vacuum Bullets!" He blew out a dozen chakra bullets, and Tsunade grabbed them once more to dodge each and every strike, strikes that shattered the ground.
Ghost detested how weak he felt, unable to keep up with Danzo's movements alone let alone his skill, but he knew better than to act and likely be killed.
"Is that Izanagi?" Tsunade asked, her tone amazed. "I never thought I would see it in my lifetime."
Danzo landed, smirking. "I bet Lord Second told you about that, Lord First was too naive to have told you much." The man lashed out with his sword, which Tsunade dodged before grabbing the man's normal arm and tearing it off before hitting him with it so hard his head snapped. She turned and blocked the man's kick when he reappeared and headbutted him so hard his head exploded.
Ghost then noticed something odd, the man's eyes were... closed. Not all of them but a few and that... that set him off on his own tangent. 'They are only lasting so long as the jutsu lasts... but if they are removed, disconnected from his body, they should have no power!'
And so he waited, gathering his chakra.
The fight went on for a while, with Tsunade killing the man over and over again, until something odd happened. Danzo, when he reappeared, grabbed her arm and held on for a weird length of time. Tsunade went to move, but suddenly could not. Her body was covered in a weird mark and her chakra was stunted.
The man sighed. "You always were too forward a fighter, Tsunade, easy to follow." The man grabbed his sword, drawing it back to slash at the woman's throat.
That was when Ghost leaped into action. Danzo grunted as Ghost went nuts, clawing at each and every eye he could reach, using his chakra to make his claws sharper and more brilliant. Danzo was so stunned, kage level ninja or not, he could not entirely react fast enough to not lose at least four eyes.
"GET OFF!" The man smacked Ghost hard enough that he went flying, smashing into a wall hard enough to crack his ribs. "I will deal with you lat-AHHH!" Danzo screamed as his entire special arm was torn right off of his body by a very, very, very angry Tsunade.
"Not so special without your modified arm to spam Izanagi!" She moved her other hand around his throat. "I am an Uzumaki by blood, do you really think your meager seal could bind me?" And with that, she squeezed so hard Danzo's head popped off of his neck. She would have stomped on his head, but she saw that Danzo's hidden eyes was also a sharingan only this one was very, very different. It looked like a black shuriken with a red background... Ghost could feel its intense chakra. "A mangekyo... this... we cannot allow this to go to waste."
Ghost would have asked or wondered what a mangekyo was, but he could do little as he fell into unconsciousness, his wounds too great to keep awareness.
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a blast! Also, Danzo was way too reliant on his Mangekyo in canon, so why not here?
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
