Chapter 11: Ready To Kill

Sayuri had spent most of the morning on teaching and having her group perfect the move. She had played the moving target but did not get hit again. Sasuke had picked the move up and was executing it perfectly in less than ten minutes. Sakura understood the move but was having trouble with being able to control the shurikens. She could not seem to get them right on target. When they finally sat down for a break Kakashi came out from the tree he was in.

"I have thought of way that we shall train today," Kakashi stated, "I will put you in pairs and you shall attempt to defeat me," he explained, "so Sakura you will be with Naruto. Sasuke you shall be with Sayuri,"

Sakura sighed with disappointment, while Naruto whooped with enthusiasm. Sayuri and Sasuke just looked at each other.

"The objective is for one team to do better than the other. Who would like to go first?"

"LET'S DO IT SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruto yelled punching the air.

Kakashi smiled, walked towards the middle of the training area, and motioned for Naruto and Sakura to follow him,"

Sayuri and Sasuke walked over to a tree and took a seat in the shade. Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi had already started to battle.

"You like to use fire techniques right?" Sayuri asked Sasuke.

Sasuke nodded.

"Then I have an idea," Sayuri said.

Naruto and Sakura's fight had been a fairly short one. If it had been a real life situation they would have died, but they're teamwork was awesome. Sakura and Naruto walked over to where Sayuri and Sasuke sat and collapsed on the ground. Kakashi just stood in the training area and read, waiting for them to go and start.

Sasuke and Sayuri stood. They walked over to Kakashi who put his book away as they approached.

"Begin," he said simply.

Sasuke preformed a series of hand seals, "Katon Goukayuu no Jutsu!" Sasuke said and Kakashi was engulfed in flames.

Running from where the flames had come from came Sayuri. Her battle instinct had kicked in and she was moving at lightning speed. She located Kakashi unscathed and moved in. She threw a punch at Kakashi who easily deflected it. She continued to try and hit him.

Sasuke continued aiming for Kakashi from afar with his fire element attacks. This hindered Kakashi's fight with Sayuri and kept him at bay. Not being able to be given the chance to hit Sayuri she continued to wail on him. She finally hit him and sent him flying. Before he hit the ground however a log had taken his place. He had used a replacement jutsu.

Kakashi raced up from behind Sasuke and took a hold of him, pinning him to the ground.

"You should keep your partner closer Sayuri," he said.

"My partner is close," Sasuke said. Kakashi looked down in mild confusion as to why Sasuke was answering the question.

Suddenly from under him Sasuke turned into Sayuri. Kakashi looked up and saw that the Sayuri he had fought before was just a shadow clone and she vanished. Still pinned under him he felt an enormous burst of chakra from Sayuri, which sent him flying into the air.

"Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu," and Kakashi was engulfed in flames again as Sasuke launched the fire at him from the tree he had hidden himself in. It turned out to be a shadow clone and vanished with when he got hit with the fire.

Kakashi had used this to find Sasuke's location and was now running at him from behind. Just before Kakashi reached out to grab Sasuke he jumped above Kakashi and slammed him down with a kick. Kakashi was sent flying into the ground. Sasuke landed on him and pulled a kunai out of his pouch and pressed it against the back of his neck.

"Hey Sasuke I got him!" he called.

Kakashi now understood what had happened. Though Sasuke was fast, the movement that had just been executed on him was way too fast for Sasuke.

Sasuke walked into the forest with three Kunai poised in a ready to throw position. The Sasuke that stood on Kakashi turned into Sayuri. Sayuri pressed the blade of the kunai hard against Kakashi's skin and blood started to trickle down his neck.

"Sayuri what are you doing? You got him already you don't need to…' Sasuke started but stopped when Sayuri looked up at him. She had the same look in her eyes as she had before she killed that man yesterday. She was ready to kill. Sasuke froze, unsure of what to do.

"Remember the blood Sayuri," he said weakly.

This seemed to bring her back to her senses as the murderous intent in her eyes vanished. She looked down at Kakashi and a scared look spread across her beautiful features.

"Did you guys get him?" Naruto called as he and Sakura approached. They froze when they saw the scene before them. Sayuri removed the kunai from Kakashi's neck and threw it into a near-by tree. The movement made everyone flinch. Without a word, she took off.

"It was brilliantly executed," Sakura said.

Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all sat in the grass eating lunch.

"How exactly did you guys do it?" Kakashi asked Sasuke.

Sasuke hadn't talked much since what had happened in the forest.

"Well the basic idea is that we read each other's moves with our sharingon. My first attack let us determine how many replications you had made of yourself. Sayuri made a few more replications while you could not see us and scattered them through the forest. She sent a replication after you first. Then she finally hit you she had eliminated one of your replacements. When your other replication took hold of me, I made you believe that I was Sayuri. While her replication disappeared. When she saw this she turned into me and attacked from the forest. This hopefully made you think that you finally knew both our locations, and had revealed our overall plan, but there was more. Then you yourself attacked. You attacked Sayuri, thinking it was me, because you had the better advantage point on us there. When you did though, she was ready to counter-act and she did," Sasuke stopped there.

"Brilliant!" Naruto cried.

Sayuri sat in her room and cried. She couldn't believe what she had done. She had been ready to kill Kakashi today. If Sasuke had not been there she would have. Now she thought that she really did not believe she had a right to be there in the village. She did not want to hurt them, but she could not control herself. She truly was a monster. She needed to do something soon before it was too late. What if next time she was not stopped? But what could she do?

She was not in control.
