The villagers looked with suspicion when a woman passed by their town. The skies in that day were gray and a mist was getting denser by the passing of time; bad omen for the civilians. The woman found a tree and rested there. At the other side of the road, two silhouettes formed.

- "Cut the crap, I know you had been following me! Mizukage-sama…"

- "I knew we wouldn't be able to trick you for too long. But you're where I need it anyway."

The bodyguard of the Mizukage wielded the Samehada and threatened the woman:

- "Your treason against our village will not be unpunished. "

The Mizukage made a sign to the guy stop.

- "Let it go… There is no way back from this path."

The woman reacted violently.

- "How could I let him go! Do you have any idea how many people died because of him?"

- "Do not pretend I'm blind, all my friends from the past died hunting him. Our balance is what keeps many innocent people alive."

- " Coward! - Interrupted the woman."

- "Maybe I'm. In the end we are all just hypocrites who hide their true feelings under this mask of peace or justice. But I can't let you proceed- The Mizukage disappeared under the mist- Either way, goodbye."

The bodyguard stared the woman, wielding the Samehada (I mean the Kisami sword) he assumed his fighting stance. The woman used a scroll to summon a sword once wield by Zabuza. The sword clash was instantaneous; in a split of second, both crossed their position.

- "I teach you well."

- "Well, I learned from the best. Sensei."

The way the woman said that, reminded the Mizukage's bodyguard the old times. When she was younger, she was dedicated and determined, both qualities and their sorrows made them share a bond together. "Beneath these vengeful eyes there is still that girl. Maybe I can bring her back to her senses."

- "What's the matter? You will need your eyes to beat me!"

- "I already know all your moves… This battle is over."

The ex-sensei devised a plan. "I will sacrifice my left arm to stop the swing, with my right arm, I will use the Samehada to steal her chakra".

However, she didn't reacted. The slash cut her in half. Water splashed as the Samehada hit the ground.

- "Water clone!?"

The bodyguard felt something attaching to his body. "Strings?" He tried to release himself, but as much effort he put, more he felt stuck.

- "When did you set this trap?"

- "Since the beginning, I used the mist jutsu over yours, so I could set this trap for you. Don't bother trying to get free, this string is part of Nuibari (one of the seven swords), you can't cut this."

The woman approached his old sensei.

"Your eyes… It's cursed, I'm paying with my life for believing you would get away from this path… You're a killer, just like him… I should have noticed earlier…"

The Kubikiribōchō slashed the sensei. There is no way back.

The woman looked to her former teacher with a bitter expression. "Your death will not be in vain". His eyes were still wide open, haunting here for the betrayal, in that moment she noticed she still had her forehead protector from the village; she use it to cover the eyes of her former sensei.

She took the Samehada that was hanging in one the strings and put it over her shoulders- Now she had all the seven swords- And disappeared into the mist.
