Part 12

Mizuki nodded and said, "I'm ready." Tsunade looked at her for awhile before saying, "I've sent four jounins after Sasuke, but they came back to the Village injured." Mizuki nodded. "Your mission is to go after the five of them with the medical team, but you're not suppose to fight, you and the medical team will heal the injured. You're going to be the leader of this team. Nothing else. Got it?" Mizuki nodded. "What time am I going to set out?" "Now."

Tsunade sent four people from the medical team with Mizuki. All five of them were outside of Konoha until Tenten came. "Mizuki, what are you doing with the medical team?" Mizuki smiled and said, "I'm on a mission to heal all five of them if they need to." Tenten's eyes glowed and said, "Please bring Neji back safely! Please!" Mizuki nodded and said, "I'm going to do that even if you didn't tell me."

"Mizuki-chan, let's go. We don't want to waste time." A medical ninja said. Mizuki nodded and all five of them jumped up and out of site. Tenten sat on a tree, waiting for everyones return. Hinata, Sakura, and Ino joined in, waiting. Hoping.

"Okay, the plan is that if we see one person that needs healing, one of you will stay behind, and help. After you know that that person isn't going to die, send him back to the village to let Tsunade heal. When you're done, we'll leave a trace and you'll follow us." Mizuki said. Everyone nodded. Mizuki did a hand sign and a little dragon came. "Find where all five of them went."

The dragon nodded and ran towards a direction. Everyone followed. In no time, we found Chouji. "Ok, I'm sorry I don't know your names, but since Chouji is closest to the village, who's not capable of running fast enough?" A medical ninja raised his hand. "Okay, you heal Chouji and make sure he's going to be alive, and bring him to the village. I'll leave a trace behind."

Mizuki looked at the tree that Chouji was leaning on. It had words like, "Come on, Chouji." and "Everyone's waiting." Mizuki smiled and followed the dragon to the next person.

In about five minutes, they found Neji lying on the ground, and the enemy two yards away from him. They heard crackling noises from the bushes. "Everyone, duck down!" Mizuki yelled. She shielded Neji. It was an explosive tag. After the smoke left, they saw a guy from the Sound Village, with about five umbrellas behind him. "Ah, so you're the medical team that Tsunade sent. Then I'll have to make you disappear!"

"You guys, go first. You don't know anything about ninjutsu." Mizuki said. She looked at the youngest man and said, "I'm making you be the leader of this team. Make sure you'll find everyone and bring them back to the village." Everyone nodded except the youngest man, "No, I don't know how to lead a team!" The enemy ran towards them. "WE DON'T HAVE TIME! LEAVE BEFORE YOU ALL ARE YOU GOING TO DIE!" Mizuki yelled, clearly frustrated.

The enemy took out his first umbrella which was white, trying to block the medical ninjas from leaving, but Mizuki stopped him and said, "I'm your opponent." The guy laughed and said, "My name is Naoki, and I'm going to be your last opponent, because you're going to die today. You're just a little girl." Mizuki laughed. "Really, if the battle ends up the wrong way, don't go crying to your mother, okay?"

"YOU BITCH!" He yelled. He putted back the white umbrella and took out the green umbrella. "Ninja Skill: Razor Leaf" He opened his umbrella and razor leaves came out of it. Mizuki did a hand sign and water came from the ground and blocked most of the leaves, but about four cutted her. He putted back the green one and took out the brown one.

"Ninja Skill: Earthquake" Mizuki ran towards Neji and grabbed him. She then jumped on a tree. The ground started shaking and breaking apart, making the trees fall down. She jumped from one tree to another. "Stop running away, little girl!" He yelled. The earthquake stopped shaking for awhile. She jumped down onto the ground and placed Neji next to the tree.

"Secret Jutsu: Crystal Ice Mirrors!" Mizuki yelled. "What?!" Naoki yelled. Too late to say anything, he was trapped inside her jutsu. Mizuki walked into the ice and threw needles. Naoki smirked and said, "Stop playing around." He took out the red umbrella and said, "Ninja Skill: Fire Blast"

"Damn." Mizuki mumbled. Fire came out of the umbrella and melted the ice. Mizuki couldn't get out of the ice quick enough and she was slightly burned by the fire.

"Ah, little needles. What kids." He chuckled while taking all the needles off of him. He looked back up at Mizuki, who had her hair that covered her right eyes up. "What?! A doujutsu?" Naoki said. "Too late to say a thing, baka." Mizuki said. She letted her hair fall back and covered her right eye with her hair. "AHH, RAH. STOP IT! STOP IT!" He yelled. He fell to the floor and putted his palms and knees to the floor. "Dispel!"

Mizuki laughed, "My doujutsu doesn't stop by using a ninjutsu." Naoki rolled around the floor, with his hand covering his head. He took out his kunai and stabbed his leg. "Baka, in order to stop this doujutsu, you have to either stop me, or give yourself a bigger pain." Mizuki said. "You know what that means." Naoki looked up took the kunai off his leg and threw it at Mizuki. She dodged it without even moving.

He took another kunai and stabbed himself in the stomach. He stood up and said, "Now, I'm out." He laughed out loud. "Now, I'm out." Mizuki heard so many echoes of that, she started to see multiple Naoki's. She covered her ears with her hands, but it didn't work. "Ah, so you see multiple of me, and you don't know which one to attack." Mizuki looked around.

He took out a blue umbrella and said, "Ninja Skill: Deep Ocean." He jumped onto the tallest tree. Water came from who knows where and formed an ocean. Mizuki grabbed Neji, but the water was forming so fast, she couldn't swim without using her jutsu. The water just kept on coming until the water was as tall as the tallest tree.

Underwater, Mizuki did a hand gestures and gills appeared on her cheeks. She swam upward, until she lifted her head out of the water to see Naoki. He was afew inches away from her. She went underwater and swam afew more yards away from Naoki and climbed onto the tall tree.

"You can't beat me, for one, you keep on carrying a dead person around, and two, you have the stupidest ninja skills." Mizuki looked down at Neji, who had his head on her lap. She moved him off her lap and stood up. "I have the ability to control water without using chakra." She lifted up her hand, and water followed it.

"Water Element: Water Needles." Mizuki said. Water charged towards Naoki, he jumped up. When his foot landed on the top of the tree, the water from behind him grabbed him. The water slowly covered him. "What are you going to do now, play c- AHH!" Needles from the water was already stabbing him.

The water slowly uncovered him, revealing Naoki covered in blood, and with needles everywhere on him.

"This water is starting to annoy me." He took out his brown umbrella and said, "Ninja Skill: Earthquake." The water lowed down. Mizuki looked down at the water to see the cracks made from the earthquake was filled with water, making it look like ten rivers. Naoki jumped down. Mizuki took Neji and jumped down to follow him.

"You're stupid, you fell for my trick twice." Naoki said. Echoes started to form in Mizuki's ears. She looked down and covered her ears. She looked back up to see seven Naoki's. She ran, away from Neji, knowing that whatever Naoki wanted to do to her, Neji wouldn't get hurt.

"This is my last attack." He took out an umbrella that hasn't been taken out. He opened it to show two swords, crossing each other. "Ninja Skill: One Sword." Mizuki looked up to see all the Naoki's umbrellas facing her, and seven swords charging at her. She wanted to move, but a huge headache started to form, and the echoes made her confused. She couldn't move anywhere. The swords charged to her and ...

It stabbed her stomach.

She looked down at the sword, to see only one, not seven. She took out the sword of her body, making the blood run. Her hands turned blue, and she placed her hand onto the wound. In a matter of seconds, the wound was healed. "Hn, you're an intersting little girl." Mizuki looked at all seven of the Naoki and said, "You're not that much older." Naoki laughed and said, "True, I'm five years older than you."

"Ah!" Mizuki yelled, she covered her head with her hands. "Ah, I see the headache is starting to form. Then I'll have to torture you slower." He laughed and said, "Ninja Skill: Three swords." Mizuki saw twenty one swords charging at her, but she knew three of them were real, and one of the Naoki's were real, she just had to find the right one.

One of the sword stabbed her left shoulder, another stabbed her thigh and the last one stabbed her stomach, inches away from her first wound. She didn't want to heal the wounds, she had to save the rest of her chakra to defeat Naoki and save Neji.

"Ninja Skill: Five Swords." She turned around to listen to the voice, but five swords stabbed her back. After that attack, she knew where Naoki was.

"Ninja Skill: Ten Swords." Naoki said. Mizuki hurried as fast as she could, "Water Element: Twin Water Dragons." Naoki looked confused, "Nani?" Two water dragons came from the ground and crashed right into Naoki, the real one. The two water dragons didn't stop until after a minute or two. The dragons turned into water, showing Naoki, laying on the floor, with blood everywhere.

She walked towards him. He took out a sword from behind her and stabbed near her heart. He pointed at her, and tried to say something, but in that instant, he died.

Mizuki, who had nine swords attached to her, walked towards Neji. She wasted most of her chakra for the last attack, and had alittle bit more left. She kneeled next to him, she putted her head near his heart to hear his heartbeat. It was going slower and slower. Mizuki left her head there, and lifted up hand. Her hand turned blue and she placed her hand on top of Neji's biggest wound.
