15: Zero Visibility: The Sharingan Shatters!
Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju), & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!
…My Line…
The mirrors light up and all of a sudden, the two friends and Sasuke found themselves on their asses from an on slot of needles.
"Where is he?" Naruto asked. "Where are the needle attacks coming at us from? Are they clones?" Naruto stood up while Raika and Sasuke remained kneeling, "We've got to find the real one. Which one is it?"
"Look into every mirror as hard as you like," Haku told Naruto. "You'll never learn the secret."
"Oh yeah?" Naruto asked as he made a hand sign. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"No don't," Sasuke yelled at him.
"Naruto!" Raika joined him.
Naruto didn't listen to the two of them as he still made clones of himself.
"You've got 100 mirrors then a 100 of me will smash them all," Naruto said to him as he clones jumped at the mirrors. "Then I'll find the real one."
Haku, however, moved quickly sending Naruto back to the ground next to his teammates.
"These mirrors only reflect my image," Haku told them. "Allowing me to transport myself at light speed." Raika's eyes widen when she caught on. "Through my eyes you appear to be moving in slow motions."
'Kekkei Genkai,' she thought in shock. 'Just like Aniki.'
...My Line...
"I knew it," Kakashi gasped as his sole eye widen. "It's a bloodline treat. Kekkei Genkai."
Zabuza laughed.
"Kekkei Genkai?" Sakura asked. "What is it?"
"It's like my Sharingan and the Uzumaki's Sealing Chains," the Hatake answered. "You can't learn it. It has to be in your blood. In your genetic code, pass down from generation to generation within a signal clone."
"But, that means..."
"Yes," Kakashi agreed with the unspoken sentences. "Even I can't copy that jutsu. There's no way to destroy it. No way to stop him."
...My Line...
"I couldn't break through," Naruto said making Sasuke and Rin to look at him. "So what? He's not gonna to stop me. I'm not going to up and I'm not going to lose here cause I have a dream and no one's going to take it away from me." Naruto glared at Haku who let out a gasp. "Someday I'll be respected in my Village that's my dream. To be the greatest Hokage!"
'Aniki,' thought the greenette as she looked over at the blond.
'Dreams?' Haku thought. "It was not my desire to be a shinobi. It's painful." The Miran raised an eyebrow at this. "I don't want to kill you, but if you advance, I will have no choice. Then I'll kill the kindness in my own heart and fully embrace the shinobi way and there will be no mercy, no turning back." A growl escapes the green hair Genin throat. "This bridge will be the battlefield where our dreams collide. Now I must fight for my dream just as you fight for you. Please do not blame me? I fight for someone who is precious to me. I live for him, and I'll face death for him so that his dream can become a reality. That is my dream and for the sake of that dream, if I must, I'll act as a shinobi and take your lives."
Raika, Naruto, and Sasuke all smirk as they faced Haku ready for the real show down.
...My Line...
"Sasuke, Naruto, Raika!" Sakura called out to them. "Take this guy out! You can do it!
"Don't Sakura," Kakashi warned her. "Don't push them."
"Huh?"
"Even if they somehow found a way to overcome the Mirror Jutsu they still couldn't defeat this Ninja," Kakashi stated.
"How can you be so sure?" Sakura asked.
Zabuza started laughing though he never took his eyes off Kakashi.
"They have the desire to win, but they don't have the instincts to kill," Kakashi answered. "That boy's a whole other breed, he lives for pain, thrives on it." 'Expect maybe Raika, who had to actually kill a few times, just to protect Naruto.'
"Exactly," Zabuza agreed. "Your village became complacent. Your trainees never learn the most important lesson of all. To kill the feels in their hearts, to crush an opponent mercilessly, to destroy with no emotion over regret."
"But, then..." Sakura said startled. "Sensei what are we going to do? Please tell us?"
'I could make a break to save the twins and Sasuke, but he'll slay the bridge-builder,' Kakashi thought as he looked over his choices. "If I use Shadow Clones, he'll just match them with Water Clones. I'll just be wasting Chakra. So, I have no choice, it's me or Zabuza here and now.' Kakashi lifted his hand to his forehead protector covering his left eye. 'I'll to do this the hard way.'
'The Sharingan.'
"Sharingan?" Zabuza asked. "Your no fun Kakashi. Using the same old trick."
Zabuza pulled out a weird looking Kunai and charged at Kakashi before aiming at his left eye surprising him and Sakura.
"Sensei! No!"
Kakashi raised his right hand and blocked the Kunai before it could harm his eye, but he did have a glare in place.
"If it's just an old trick then why did you just stop me?" Kakashi asked.
"If you let your opponent see your jutsu one to many times he'll find a way to use it against you," Zabuza answered.
"Then count yourself lucky," Kakashi told him. "Cause you're the only man alive who have seen my Sharingan twice. There won't be a third time."
"Even if you did defeat me," Zabuza started. "You have no chance against Haku."
'Is that possible?' Sakura thought as she looked at the Crystal Ice Mirrors. 'That that boy in the mask is stronger than Kakashi-Sensei?'
"When I found him, he was just a street kids, but I trained him in the most advance ninja techniques," Zabuza started to brag. "I taught him everything I know plus he had special abilities that he had defined on his own. The boy develop quickly soon he could face the most powerful enemy, out number, in total darkness it didn't matter. He could strike with perfect accuracy. He cared nothing of his own life or those of others. He became a unique fighting machine. A shinobi. In the end his power surpasses even mine, his bloodline trait the Kekkei Genkai cannot be defeated by anyone. I've created a tool, who can destroy anything, that stand in my way." Zabuza pulled out his kunai from Kakashi's hand. "Unlike the useless punks that follow you around..."
...My Line...
Inside the ice mirrors, Raika was looking around trying to find way out of it.
"I didn't get to him," Naruto said. "Then I'll try again as many times as to takes." The blonde once again made the familiar hand sign. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Raika's eyes widen along with the Uchiha.
"Naruto don't!" Sasuke yelled.
"Naruto stop!" the greenette called out. 'Why isn't he using his Kekkei Genkai?'
Haku once again attacked all three of them to which Naruto once again landed next to his teammates after the attack.
"How is he doing that?" Naruto asked.
'It was barely there, but I saw it,' Sasuke thought. 'I could see the trails and follow his moves.'
"One more time," Naruto said as he formed the hand sign. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"Don't you see that it's useless?" Haku asked.
Naruto once again made clones, but Haku took the clones down again, however, Sasuke did kick water up into the air when Naruto tried to attack the mirrors. However, Haku attacked all three of them and sent them to the ground hard, but Rin and Sasuke slowly got to their feet.
'I can see his movements, but that doesn't mean I can match him,' thought Sasuke. 'The water it's being repealed. What if I try something else? Now water, but...' Sasuke had closed his eyes for a bit before he opened them. 'Yes. Now it's my move.'
...My Line...
"You think that those Genin punks together can beat Haku?" Zabuza asked. "He's the ultimate. A battle tool of distraction."
"Are you done bragging?" Kakashi asked. "Your starting to put me to sleep." Kakashi pulled his forehead protector up to uncover his Sharingan eye. "Let's finish this now!"
"Fine, but there's one more thing you should know," Zabuza answered/told him. "A little more bragging as you say."
"Huh?"
"Did you really think that our last battle was just a win or lose that I took your attacks like a mare rank Genin?" Zabuza asked. "Haku was there hiding, watching your every move, studying your Sharingan. Haku can see a jutsu once and automatically divide a lethal counterattack. It's one of his gifts. I've been waiting to see the look on your face when you realize your Sharingan has become worthless. You once said that the same jutsu won't work on you twice. Well, I'm going to tell you that."
"Huh?"
Zabuza created a hand sign so he could do a jutsu.
"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu!"
'This is,' Kakashi thought.
'What's going on?' Tazuna thought as he looked around. 'The mist is so thick. Visibility is Zero.'
"Sensei?"
"Sakura stay with Tazuna," Kakashi ordered as he ran off into the mist.
...My Line...
'I have to be strong and believe in Sasuke, Naruto, Raika, and Kakashi-Sensei,' Sakura thought. "And I have my job to do no matter what it takes."
Sakura turned around and ran back to Tazuna which surprised him.
"Oh, Sakura."
"Follow my lead Mr. Tazuna and whatever happens stay close."
"Alright I'll stay right behind you."
...My Line...
Haku looked at them as they seem deep in thought.
'I know you need me, Zabuza, I'll finish them off quickly,' Haku thought just as Naruto ran at him.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted as he made the hand sign which caused Haku to gasp.
'He just won't give up,' Haku thought before he launch an attack against Naruto when out of nowhere a fireball head towards him. 'What?' He looked at Sasuke as he dodged. 'Fireball Jutsu?' Haku once again launch an attack on Naruto. 'It shouldn't be taking this long to defeat them.'
Sasuke once again took a deep breath and blow out fire which Haku dodge, but it did get the hem of his pants. Naruto then landed behind Raika and Sasuke before he slowly got up. Raika let out a growl before she let out a smirk and without Sasuke or Naruto noticing she bit her thumb and got ready to do hand signs.
'Got him that time,' thought Sasuke. 'I'm starting to get the timing.'
Sasuke had a smirk as he looked at the burnt part of Haku's pants.
...My Line...
However, Kakashi was looking around for Zabuza, who just disappeared from in front of him.
'It's the Hidden Mist Jutsu, but this mist is to thick even for Zabuza,' Kakashi thought. 'How can he fight in it?'
Kakashi spun around and blocked shurikens that he heard come at him from behind.
"Very skillful as I expected from Kakashi the Sharingan Warrior."
Zabuza appeared in front of Kakashi with his eyes closed surprising the copy nin.
'He's eyes are closed.'
"The next time you see me is the last time you see anything," Zabuza told him. "Without your Sharingan your nothing."
"What?'
"You wanted me to believe that you can see through anything even through time," Zabuza answered. "But, your predication was wrong I'm still alive so you're a fraud Kakashi. You can't read the future and you can't ready me. The Sharingan is just a cheap trick that makes it seem your more powerful then you are. I know now that your Sharingan has two separate elements. The piercing eye that sees every detail and the hypnotic eye which mesmerizes your opponent. Employing these ability you can execute multiple Jutsu at a quick succession to make it seem like you can see into the future. First with the piercing eye you copy my movements instantly. This replica of movements makes me doubt my own thought. Once I was shaken your infiltrated my mind waiting for the slights flow and intermediate my actions seeking out any hints to my next move."
...My Line...
Both Kakashi and Zabuza pushed away from each other and landed at the same time, put away their weapons, ran around in a circle, stopped at the same time across from each other, and then raised their right arm up in then while they place their left hand in front of them in a hand sign.
'What?' Zabuza thought as Kakashi mimic his hand sign at the same time. 'Is he reading my mind as well? He looks at me with that eye...'
"Makes you ferocious doesn't it?" Kakashi asked.
"Ha," Zabuza laughed a bit as he and Kakashi did the same hand sign again. "All your doing is copying me like a monkey."
"You can't beat me with cheap tricks," Kakashi and Zabuza said at the same time. "I'll crush you!"
Zabuza started to make more hands signs as Kakashi copied them.
"When I'm through you'll never open that monkey mouth again," Zabuza growled.
...My Line...
"You time it precisely waiting for the right moment."
...My Line...
Zabuza stopped as something started to appear slightly behind Kakashi.
'What is that?' he thought before it became clear to revival himself.
...My Line...
"The instant that my mind come unfocused you created an illusion with your hypnotic eye. You reduce me to make hand signs when you were making the same signs, so you seem to be copying me when actually your controlling me movements."
...My Line...
Kakashi in the meantime finished the hand signs before Zabuza did.
"Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu!"
As water started to spiral around in front of Kakashi to make a vortex before it shot forward towards Zabuza.
"Impossible!" he shouted in shock as the vortex hit him.
...My Line...
"Now that I know this a very simple plan can defeat you. First neutralized your piercing you with zero visibility mist."
Zabuza was able to land a blow on Kakashi making him to skid back some.
'The mist is slowing me reaction time.'
"Next neutralized your hypnotic eye by keeping my own eyes close," Zabuza went on. "You can't bore into my mind if you can't look into my eyes."
"Brilliant," Kakashi praised. "Expect with your eyes closed you can't see me either."
"Have you forgotten about, who I am, Kakashi?" Zabuza asked. "I'm the Demon of the Hidden Mist, master of the Silent Kill. I can take you out by sound alone!"
...My Line...
Raika stood next to Sasuke glaring at Haku not knowing where he is as she prepared to use the summoning jutsu.
'He read my movement, but that's not possible,' Haku thought as he looked at Sasuke in shock.
"I was so close, but I couldn't quite get to him," Naruto mumbled.
"Naruto!" Sasuke called out making the blond to look at him.
"Huh?"
"Can you do it again?" Sasuke asked.
"Of course!" Naruto answered. "Nothing can stop me, ya know?!"
'He don't want to shot, but he's exhausted,' thought Sasuke. 'The Shadow Clone Jutsu uses up so much charka, but thanks to him, I'd figured it out. I know how to break through.'
'The human eye cannot track my movements,' thought Haku. 'It must have been a flock.'
The mirrors lite up at once and Sasuke quickly performed hand signs at the same time as Raika.
"Naruto ran for it!" Sasuke ordered.
"Huh?"
"Get out of here and attack from the outside!" Sasuke once again ordered. "Hurry."
"Huh?" Naruto asked before he got a determined look. "Alright, you got it."
"You cannot escape," Haku told him.
Naruto started to run, but he was thrown backwards, however, he got up and ran for the middle of two mirrors.
"You think, you can keep me here?" Naruto asked. "Forget it!"
Just them Haku shot out of the mirror he was in towards Naruto.
"That's it," Sasuke said. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Sasuke took a breath just as the Miran slammed her hand onto the ground and launched a fireball at Haku while the smoke cleared to reveal a blue stripped, snow-white tiger that came up to the greenette's knees. Haku easily dodged the fireball and threw a senbone at Sasuke that nailed him in the shoulders before he knocked Naruto back.
"I couldn't get pass him," Naruto told them as he stood up.
"That was good Naruto," Sasuke said as he pulled out the senbone.
"Huh?"
"Now," Sasuke growled out. "One more time?"
"Yeah, let's do it," Naruto and Raika agreed.
'There must be a limit to his charka, too,' thought Sasuke. 'I can feel him slowing down.'
Naruto, Sasuke, Raika, and her tiger all took off in different detraction to try and get out of the mirrors.
'No more games,' thought Haku in annoyances, 'I need to stop this now!' Haku targeted Sasuke and Raika. "This time you'll stay down!"
Haku throw two senbone that hit both Sasuke and Rin in the calves before he attacked the Miran's tiger, who let out a roar of pain.
"TORAYUKI!" the green hair Genin yelled as the white tiger vanish back to where she was summoned from.
"Sasuke, Raika!" Naruto called out when he heard their cries of pain that was caused by Haku unleashing more senbone on them.
Haku then did the same to Naruto, but this time they were sticking out of their bodies.
...My Line...
'An enemy you can't see, and you can't hear?' Kakashi thought. 'It's been a long time since I've face anyone this tough. And Sasuke, Raika, and Naruto. I don't know if they can hold out.' Kakashi closed his eyes. 'Stay calm, think. Where well he strike?' At that Kakashi's eyes snapped opened as he looked a different way. "The bridge-builder!"
Kakashi took off heading for where Sakura and Tazuna where standing waiting for something to happen.
...My Line...
When Zabuza appeared behind them making them to turn in shock, but Kakashi got in the way.
"To late!" Zabuza yelled as he swing his sword at them.
Sakura's scream could be heard throughout the bridge and part of the village.
...My Line...
Suiren Uzumaki: To the review left by danj09290 from last chapter: First thank you for the complement. I am glad that you are enjoying the story. Second, shifty grandpa? *Starts laughing* That is gold and so true! And finally, you are right to point out the fact that Raika would use her most powerful ability to protect her team...more specifically Naruto. Plus, you are right about Orochimaru wanting her because of her sensory abilities and Water Affinity, but Raika is loyal to her best friend/honorary brother/cousin and thus the Snake Sannin will never be able to get his hands on her because of it. Also, Jiraiya at the start was only taking out rumors about her for Tsunade, who he loves with his whole heart...at least until he started to teach her the sealing arts, but Pervy Sage will care more for Naruto giving the blonde is his godson and the only child of his student.
