16: The Broken Seal!
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...
Sasuke once again took a deep breath and blow out fire which Haku dodge, but it did get the heme of his pants. Naruto then landed behind Raika and Sasuke before he slowly got up. The 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 while the greenette stood next to the Uchiha 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 doesn'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 Raika 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 swings his sword at them.
Sakura's scream could be heard throughout the bridge and part of the village.
...My Line...
Raika let out a gasp as she stood up at once when she heard the scream.
'That scream...that was Sakura,' thought Sasuke. 'What's happening to her? Where's Kakashi?'
'Damn it, Hatake,' the greenette thought with a growl. 'What the hell are you doing?'
"Sakura...she's in...trouble," Naruto managed to get out making Sasuke and the Miran to look at him.
'We've got to break through,' Sasuke once again thought looking away.
"I'll bust us out of here," Naruto said as he stood which made Sasuke to look at him again.
'Naruto?' thought both Sasuke and Raika.
"I will fake him out," Naruto told them as he stood up.
"You've exhausted my petitions," Haku growled.
Naruto put his hand in a hand sign before he took off at a quick run, but he ended up doing a back flip when Haku appeared in front of him.
"Naruto!" the Uchiha and Miran yelled.
"Behind you!" Sasuke called out making Naruto to stop and turned around to only get hit by needles again. "Naruto!"
"Your chance of escaping my house of mirrors is zero and that is absolute," Haku told them.
Both Sasuke and Raika ran over to Naruto.
"Naruto, are you able to get up?" Sasuke asked as his blond teammate tried to set up. "Try not to use any more charka, that's only going to help him now."
"I know Sasuke, I know," Naruto said before he passed out.
'We can't go on like this,' thought Sasuke. 'He's blocking every move we make, and Raika can't use her Water Style Ninjutsu without him freezing the jutsus. I've got to find a way to outmaneuver him.' "My eyes has adjusted to his movements."
The Miran glanced at Sasuke from the corner of her eyes with shock before she turned to look at Haku which caused a growl to come from her throat as she mentally cursed.
"Looking for a counterattack?" Haku asked them. "I'll save you the trouble." The green hair pre-teen and Sasuke both picked up a senbone each from the ground and blocked all of the senbone that was thrown at them and Naruto. "What?"
"Get up loser," Sasuke ordered Naruto. "We've got to team up."
'I'm aiming at their vital spots now, but I can't get a direct hit,' thought Haku in shock.
"I know what we have to do," Naruto told Sasuke as he sat up. "Ya know, Sasuke."
Haku once again started to throwing needles at them, but Raika and Sasuke worked together to block them.
'It's not just luck,' Haku thought as he continued to throw needles. 'Their fighting to protect their friend. That's why they're so determined, but they can't possibly see the needles coming.' When Haku throw the needles at Sasuke, he pushed Naruto out of the way while he and Raika jumped out of the line of the needles. "My movements are beyond human speed and yet their tracking them somehow. Whatever their doing I've got to stop them now.'
Raika and Sasuke gasp in shock when Haku disappeared.
'He disappeared,' thought Sasuke as he looked around for the Ice Jutsu user. "Where did he go? How can he just vanish?' The greenette and Sasuke moved their heads back and forth for their enemy. "Naruto, you better not pass out again. Come on, let's go. Rin and I can't keep protecting you like this."
"Well, then don't," Naruto told them. "I never asked for your help."
Raika gasp when Naruto passed out again which made Sasuke to look at him.
"Aniki!" she called out as she moved to his side and quickly started to run a diagnose jutsu.
"You can't revive him," Haku told the two Konoha Ninjas. "He's reached his limits." Both Sasuke and Raika throw the senbone that they were holding at the mirror that Haku was in, but they bounced off. "Impressive, you two have exalt moves." Haku held up some senbones. "Both your attacks are very skillful." Haku throw more senbone at them, but the dodged once again. "But the both of you reached your limits as well." The Miran snorted knowing for a fact that if he wasn't using his own Kekkei Genkai as a shield then she could have unleashed her full strength. "Motor functions, reflexes, judgment, both your abilities are weakening slowly, but surly. Now you're finished!"
'Here he comes,' thought Sasuke. 'Stay calm, focus, concentrate, see everything.'
Haku come out of the mirror and attacked both Sasuke and the green hair Genin. The redhead quickly jumped out of the way while Sasuke had already grabbed Naruto before he, too, jump out of the line of the needles.
'They saw every move, but there no way they could do that,' Haku thought as Sasuke put Naruto down panting before he looked up with crimson eyes. 'Impossible. Those eyes; the Sharingan.' Haku looked at over at Raika, who was glaring at him. 'I better keep away from her, or she could make sure that I can't use my Chakra anymore.' "Your..."
'It's not complete, but I can see through his deception,' thought Sasuke.
'So, he, too, have Kekkei Genkai,' Haku thought as he looked over them. 'The unique bloodline trait passed down within a clan. Interesting. Even though it's not perfected...to uncover it during a lethal attack is an amazing feat, and because of that I won't be able to fight much longer. My jutsu uses a tremendous amount of charka and their swift movements also take energy there's no doubt that the more we fight the more he will use the Sharingan to pro-see my moves. Even now the boy's eyes are tracking me while the girl is acting as defense with that blade of hers. I can't target them directly, they'll just block a frontal attack, so I have to throw them off guard...' Haku then turned his attention to Naruto. 'By attacking their partner then I'll destroy them!'
Raika let out a gasp as Haku come out of his mirror and went for Naruto who was down while Sasuke stood to the side before, he ran forwarded to try to him.
"What?" Sasuke asked. 'I've got to stop him!'
...My Line...
Kakashi held a wound on his chest as it dripped blood onto the ground feeling.
"Kakashi-Sensei?!" Sakura called out in worry.
"You were too late, Kakashi," Zabuza stated. "You let your concern over those little punks' safety cloud your mind. Adding farther to the fog that already hinders your Sharingan. Your eyes are sharp Kakashi, but no sharp enough to read my moves...not anymore." The Momochi let out a laugh. "Come on Kakashi, I want this to be fun. I want to enjoy myself as I exact my revenge. As for those brats, don't worry, they're already at Haku's mercy...No their breathing their last breaths right now. Relax. You'll have plenty of time to weep out an apologize to those brats when you see them in the next life."
Zabuza started to laugh as he vanished into the mist.
"He said that...Sasuke will die," the pinkette mumbled under her breath before shaking her head. "No I won't believe that. I have faith in him."
"Sasuke will beat them to a pulp, cha!" Inner Sakura growled.
"And that masked kid," she stated.
"He'll wish that he was never born!" her inner self stated.
"I can't lose Sasuke."
"Anyone, who tries to take him from me will pay for it," the inner said.
"And Naruto and Raika either," the Haruno growled.
"Exactly," the Konoha Jonin agreed with her. "I...I believe in their abilities. I have faith in them. Naruto is the Number One Unpredictable, Knuckleheaded Ninja of Konoha, Raika is the most promising young combat Medical Kunoichi since Lady Tsunade, herself, and Sasuke, heir to one of the most powerful Clans in Konohagakure."
This made Zabuza's eyes widen.
"You mean…"
"Yes," the silver hair Jonin answered. "His full name is Sasuke Uchiha. For Sasuke, the unique power of the Uchiha Bloodline runs through his veins just as they ran through mine. The Kekkei Genkai is his birth right."
"I heard that one young ninja had survived the tragedy of the Uchiha Clan," the Momochi gasped in shock. "No wonder that he advances so quickly, but so does Haku. No one can match him." The silver hair Jonin growled as he got into a fighting stance. "But, anyways, no one has ever stopped Haku's secret jutsu. Even the most skilled Jonin fall before him. Just as you will fall before me...right now!"
"Sakura, stay with Tazuna," the 27-year-old ordered.
"Okay," she agreed. "Got it."
Kakashi then ran into the fog as the Haruno got in front of the Client.
'He's right,' the Hatake thought as he ran. 'This ends now, but he is the one, who will fall."
…My Line…
The greenette stared wide eyed at the scene that she had just witness in shock.
"Uchiha?" Raika whispered in confusion.
Naruto was able to regain conscious and the first thing he saw was Haku on the ground.
"You...always get in the way Naruto," Sasuke told him with difficulty. "It never fails."
"You beat him, Sasuke!" Naruto cheered before he saw Sasuke. "Huh?"
Sasuke looked over his shoulder at his blond teammate.
"You should see the look on your face. You...you look like a total loser."
"Why?" Naruto asked. "Why did you...save me? Why did you do it?"
"I don't know why I just did," Sasuke answered as he looked forward. "And I guess that I didn't want Rin to lose the only family she has left. But, still, you...I...hated you."
"Then why?" Naruto asked again. "It doesn't make any since." Naruto sat up. "Why did you...protect me?" Naruto stood up looking pissed. "I didn't for this! I didn't ask for you to save me!"
"I don't know my body just moved," Sasuke told him. "There was no time to think." As Sasuke started to fall backwards Naruto moved to catch as the Miran ran up to them, but of course Sasuke being Sasuke had to say something. "Loser."
"Sasuke/Uchiha!" both Raika and Naruto shouted out.
Naruto caught Sasuke before he hit the ground as the green hair 12-year-old came to stop next to them.
"He...he's still out there," Sasuke told Naruto as he left his hand up. "My Brother. I...promised myself...I'd stay alive...until I killed him. Naruto, Raika...don't let your...dream die."
The two Konoha Genins were unaware of Haku getting up as he watched the scene before him unfold. He watched the best friends fought back their tears, but deep inside of the blonde something was stirring awake.
"He found...he found a strength he didn't realize he had," Haku stated in a whisper. "Why? Because of a certain person, who was precious to him. To save that person he rushed in knowing it was a trap. He was a true ninja worthy of honor." Haku stood up and turned to the side before he spoke more loudly. "Is this the first time you've seen a friend die in battle?" Haku looked back at them. "This is part of what it means to be a ninja."
Raika found it impossible to glare at Haku, who had melted back into his mirror, as Naruto had laid Sasuke down, but that didn't mean that she wasn't unaware to Naruto, who was right across from her.
"Shut up," Naruto told him, "I...I hated you, too, Sasuke and yet." Raika caught a faint sent of evil in the air as steam surrounded all three of them not knowing what to do or where it was coming from. "You'll pay for this." The greenette's head shot up at hearing the demonic tone in Naruto's voice just as the steam turned into red chakra that was spiraling around them. "I'm going to kill you."
'The Kyuubi,' Raika thought as she moved to protect Sasuke. 'Damn it all to hell!' She looked up at her friend. 'My Fuinjutsu knowledge isn't where it needs to be to handle a Jinchuuriki.' A bead of sweat ran down her cheek. 'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck...FUCK!'
"What is this, Chakra?" Haku asked. "Chakra can't been, but it's clearly visible. It's something ghastly. I can feel the blood lust like it's evil itself." Rin and Haku stared in shock as the senbone were thrown out of the Naruto's body and his hands started to heal and change on its own. "His hands are healing and changing. This boy...what is he?"
Naruto's eyes had turned a dark blood red color with blood lust in them as the whiskered markings on his face became pronounced.
...My Line...
Kakashi let out a gasp while Zabuza's head snapped towards the mirrors.
'Is Zabuza creating this?' the Hatake thought in worry. 'He's not. I know this Chakra even though it's been almost 13 years. There's no way.'
'What is this energy?' the Momochi thought. 'Something foul. Kakashi? No, it's too powerful even for him. Where is it coming from?'
'Naruto!' the 27-year-old thought in shock as his mind went back to the Kyuubi no Kitsune attack. 'This puts everyone in danger. Now of all times...the Seal has Broken. Why isn't Raika trying to stop it with her fuinjutsu?' His eyes widen in shock and slight fear. 'Unless...she doesn't have enough knowledge in Fuinjutsu to stop it. Looks like I'll have to stop it.'
...My Line...
Naruto, after his looks changed, then charged at Haku with murder in his eyes.
