Chapter 067

"You may be the Copy Cat Ninja, but I am the superior when it comes to killing without sight," Zabuza said. Kakashi sighed and blocked three shuriken that Zabuza threw.

(Inside The Ice Dome)

Sasuke and Sai looked around inside the dome of ice mirrors. In every mirror, there was an image of Haku holding several needles.

"What…bunshins," Sasuke wondered out loud. He was answered by a shower of senbon needles, some of which they managed to evade though being cut by the others. The two Genins took out some shuirkens and started throwing at the mirrors. Haku raced speedily through the mirrors while Sasuke managed to keep up with her a bit throwing his shurikens. Sasuke then went through some hand signs seeing his chance to attack

"Katon: Goukakyuu No Jutsu (Fire Style: Grand Fireball Technique)," said Sasuke before he took in a deep breath before releasing the blast of fire from his mouth towards Haku who scarcely evaded the flames, amazed at his recent attack at her.

He was able to follow me where I go with his eyes, almost as though he had a bloodline limit of his own…wait! His eyes are now red with a coma on each of them making them different from before. Did he awaken a bloodline limit of his own, Haku wondered as she had escaped to the sanctuary of another ice mirror.

"You seemed stunned. I guess you never went up against an Uchiha before," said the now smirking Sasuke looking at Haku.

An Uchiha! Zabuza-sama warned me about that clan and their eyes. I heard they were all wiped out with the exclusion of two. This one must be the survivor of the massacre given that he's still young, Haku thought before speaking, "It makes no difference to me whether or not you're an Uchiha. You won't escape this ice prison of my creation."

Sai pulled out a paint brush and scroll. Opening the scroll quickly, Sai made a quick painting of a bear. Doing the required hand seals, Sai said, "Chōjū Giga (Super Beasts Imitation Picture)!"

Suddenly the painting of the bear came to life and stood in front of Sai and Sasuke. Sasuke tried not show it but he was surprised but this new jutsu Sai just used.

What jutsu is this, Haku and Sasuke both wondered.

I never seen such a jutsu like that before, Haku thought. Sai gave a calm demeanor as his bear roared beastly at the mirrors. It was a secret of Sai's abilities; his drawing abilities are also the source of his jutsus, and by drawing things with a brush on his scroll he's able to bring his drawings to life. Sai started painting more bears and bringing them to life. By the time he was done, both boys were surrounded by bears created by Sai.

Hopefully this will serve to slow this girl down before Naruto arrives I hope, Sai thought while wondering what could be delaying the blonde. Sai then gave the order a few of the bears to attack the mirrors. The bears obeyed while the rest stayed behind to protect both boys.

Seeing the assaulted, Haku performed her attack as well. The senbon needles now came from every direction, apparently simultaneously.

(All The While)

Naruto was now running from Ryota who was repeatedly throwing her spike ball at Naruto's direction. Presently Naruto sustained multiple injuries and bruises, but nothing life-threatening, yet.

'You can't keep this up Naruto,' Minato said, 'You have to put this Iwa Jounin down!'

It's hard to think while being chased after…

Naruto's thoughts were briefly interrupted when the spike ball crashed behind him again with much force, breaking part of the ground he was running on moments ago. The blonde jumped away from the ball before it fired its spikes at him from all directions. He turned and started punching and shattering the spikes though a few managed to graze him, adding more to his injuries.

…With a death weapon inches away from you, Naruto mentally concluded before turning and running again.

"Run, run as fast as you can Naruto-kun," Ryota taunted while adding mockery to the "kun" honorific, "It only makes killing you this much more fun…(mockingly) Konoha's Second Flash."

"I'm really getting sick of you," Naruto remarked, "What do you have against me anyway?"

"It's nothing personal really," Ryota said while continuing to pursue him, "I was simply assigned to complete a mission, and you're that mission."

"I don't suppose dinner and candle lights will suffice," Naruto joked before a being sent flying off his feet after the large spinning spike ball came crashing speedily behind him. The blonde skidded and landed facedown and replied, "…Ugh…Was that a "no"?"

"You got jokes I'll give you that," Ryota replied before retracting her spike ball and readying herself for another attack.

I have an idea, Naruto thought. Acting quickly, Naruto pulled out his second kunai and place a seal marker on it before getting back up on his feet. Finding a direction to throw his kunai, the blonde threw his kunai into the air and several moments later it was lodged high onto a tree.

Perfect, Naruto thought, Now all I have to do is…

The spinning ball suddenly came crashing into his back, tearing at the blonde with brutal force. Naruto screamed from the sheer agony of being assaulted by the attack as he was sent flying far forward into the forest. He skidded across the unforgiving ground before coming to a complete stop on his badly injured back.

A now heavily beaten, wounded and dirtied up Naruto was lying on his back on the ground. He sustained heavy injuries and wounds from the Iwa Jounin's last attack. Ryota, confident that her victory was sure, dispelled her stone chain spike ball and walked over to Naruto. Standing over him, she stepped to his other side before crouching down and looking down at him.

"You put up a really good fight," Ryota said, "But a fresh out of the academy Genin like yourself can never expect to measure up to my capabilities."

"And true shinobis aren't arrogant and never let their guard down for whatever reasons, baka," said a male voice from behind her. She turned her head a little bit in time to hear…

"Hidden Village of Konoha Hidden Taijutsu Ougi!"

Ryota's eyes widened before her face grimaced upon receiving a butt poke from behind just before…

"Sennen-goro Shi!," Naruto yelled out before sending a now screaming Ryota flying high into the air while holding her now very sore rear end. She was about to collide into the top of a high tree when Naruto suddenly shunshin'd and appeared in front of her and with brute force delivered a brutal swing kick to her side, thus sending her flying through another tree that began to collapse to the ground upon being broken from its base. The Iwa Kunoichi crashed hard into the ground facedown before the tree she crashed through landed down on top of her legs.
