Namikaze Naoki || Uchiha Itachi

Chapter 16

Naoki went back the next morning.. she was walking back when she noticed threes and logs of wood having slicing marks on them..

She got worried and hurried back to the house, when she arrived she saw two enemies trying to bring harm too both inari and his mother

Naoki used substitution no jutsu to swapped inari, his mom and herself with a tree logs.

"Sorry I'm late.." she said apologetic

"But then again, heroes usually show up last second" she added and smiled at inari

"Naoki-nee.."

"Good job inari! You distracted them and that gave me enough time to save your mom!"

"Well, well if it isn't" enemy one said

"the loser ninja that tazuna hired" enemy two finished

But they didn't notice that she already had her shadow clones behind them. They kicked the two enemies unconscious and poofed away

"Inari, about yesterday.. I apologize.. you're strong!" She said and patted his head

Inari cried again, but tried to stop. Naoki told him it was okay to cry out of happiness

"Well, since they attacked here that means the bridge is most likely also in danger.. I can count on you here, right?" She said turning to inari

"Un" he nodded and wiped his tears

"Sure is though being heroes"

"It sure is!" He smiled

Naoki ran to the bridge with a confident smile

Naoki arrived and saw sasuke and naruto trapped, Kakashi vs zabuza and sakura protecting tazuna.

She saw the boy with a mask slipping in and out of what appeared to be a dome made out of ice mirrors. In the dome sasuke and naruto were having a hard time.. Naoki without thinking threw her shuriken, revealing where she was..

"Well... that didn't go as planned..." Naoki simply said when her shuriken was easily dodged

Zabuza spotted naoki and threw shurikens her way, but mask guy reflected them with his senbon needles

"Haku, what is the meaning of this?" Zabuza spoke to haku aka the masked boy

"Zabuza-san please let me fight them my way." Haku responded

Zabuza sighed but let haku have his way

"You're too soft haku" he said before completely focusing on kakashi again

Naoki in the meanwhile was busy attacking from the the outside and sasuke, naruto from inside. Haku decided it would be easier if the girl were to be inside and pushed naoki inside in an unseen speed..

naoki flicked her tongues.. the situation got worse..

"Fire style: grand fireball no jutsu" sasuke said and a giant fireball was aimed to the ice mirrors

But it didn't work..

"You can't melt the ice with a fire technique on that level." Haku said mocking Sasuke

Haku threw needles at them and moved to another ice mirror, by the time he entered the mirror every mirror seemed to have a haku reflected in them

Naoki frowned and took out the needles and did the same with naruto and sasuke..

"I advise you to give up, If possible I don't want to kill you nor want you to have to kill me..but if you come at me I can destroy my kind heart with a blade and become a true shinobi." Haku said looking at the three
