Hikaru and I watched as the Leader killed off the last of the shinobi who were brave enough to face him. We warned them not to engage leaving him to us but they refused to listen.

"Lord Sora looks annoyed." Hikaru commented.

"Oh so that's his name, he didn't give me a good introduction." I replied receiving a questioning look from Hikaru. "Well, it's because I'm a prodigy in the clan and because I'm a half breed, he won't accept me. Oh, and that my Father killed the clan too."

The leader's eyes looked at Hikaru staring at his glowing eyes. "You're still alive? H-How?" Anger then replaced his surprised expression.

"No idea, Mother escaped with me during the attack. It's just a blur now." He answered.

Sora came running towards us already slashing through two shinobi with his kunai. I ran towards him weaving signs to block his next attack.

"Striking shadow snake!" I yelled throwing my arms in front of me as snakes soared fangs barring at Sora.

He slashed threw them as well but one managed to disarm him by eating the kunai. Sora threw off the snakes then weaved signs and spit out water making us jump back. He started to run towards us while weaving more.

"Everyone get back!" I shouted but it was too late. He slammed his hands onto the water manipulating it into a tsunami.

All the stone shinobi were in sync and rose the ground just high enough to avoid the water. Hikaru jumped down into the water while weaving his own. He slammed his hand into the water summoning fish, wait no, piranhas. They swam towards the Himura starting to eat them which wasn't successful since they turned into paper. I jumped down weaving signs and hit the rocky platform sending my chakra down to the ground making it crack. I grabbed Hikaru jumping onto the side of the platform watching as they, along with the water, seeped into the crack.

Sora wanted to be difficult and avoided the crack; he ran cross the rushing water until it drained. Once it was drained, I sealed the crack leaving the Himura trapped there for now. Thankfully, I could see reinforcements coming into view, hopefully a sealing team. Sora ran at us engaging us in taijutsu. I thought we'd stand a chance working together but the man still managed to land powerful blows on us. He was coming to my left for a kick so I blocked it but an explosion of pain erupted from my forearm once he made contact.

Hikaru went after him as I jumped back to recover. My arm started to swell turning black and blue. I touched the spot lightly but the pain intensified making me grit my teeth.

"Yup, that's broken," I thought then jumped avoiding Sora's wind ninjutsu.

Hikaru was on his tail shooting fire balls at him but he was too focused on me to care about Hikaru. As I ran, a few shinobi jumped in to cover me while I healed but he threw many shuriken and kunai which multiplied cutting them down. I held out my good arm shooting out my bones towards him which he easily dodged with his incredible speed.

"No wonder Father poisoned them. This guy is ruthless. Father would've had a hard time fighting him along with the rest of the clan."

Hikaru managed to stop Sora with a wall of fire giving me a chance to recover. Healing a bone wasn't going to be quick and would consume a lot of chakra. I searched the area but the only medics on the battlefield were dead. I could see Hikaru starting to struggle but everyone was too scared to help after the last time. My bone had almost healed but my chakra was getting low. I hated this feeling. I needed my necklace. Though, Kabuto needed it so there might not be much chakra left.

Finally, reinforcements arrived and started helping Hikaru while the sealers went after the Himura in the cavern. We needed to end this quickly. Even the reinforcements looked exhausted. Once my bone was healed, I ran to rejoin the battle. I watched as he killed anyone who got in his way but stopped when he saw me standing away from the battle. I raised a brow; this doesn't make sense.

"How did he just notice me? His eyes are activated and I'm only a couple hundred feet from him."

Sora ran towards me with fury in his glowing eyes. He was about to hit Hikaru who tried to stop him but Sora spun on his heal coming at me from another direction. I got into a fighting stance seeing his hand was going towards my neck. I waited until the last moment to dodge moving slightly to the right. I went to punch him with my left arm anticipating for him to dodge. My arm stopped then elbowed the side of his face multiple times sending him to the ground.

I jumped away landing beside Hikaru. "Do you know how far Sora can see?"

"I'm not sure, I don't think anyone mentioned it. Why?"

"He couldn't see me when I was only a hundred feet away. Maybe that's his limit. We must corner him. I'll lead him back and the Stone shinobi can create a wall so we can trap and seal him. If that doesn't work then I can take his soul." I said as water propelled towards us.

We jumped into the air avoiding the attack. "Just get the message out to everyone."

"Don't use your power on him Ko. Your life force-"

"I know Hikaru," I interrupted. "I'll be careful." He only nodded in response even though I knew he was still worried.

When we landed, Hikaru sped off to tell the others about my plan. I faced Sora once again feeling weaker than before knowing I can't keep fighting him for long. Many others joined in even matching up to his speed but not strength. Those who were unable to dodge his attacks were dead within minutes. Each attack was precise hitting at least one vital spot.

Sora's wind attack blew us away making us land in the same vicinity. We all got up rushing towards him weaving signs. Along with the other sand shinobi, we used a combined wind style trying to trap him in the crater. He used his own jutsu to avoid the crater and flew towards us.

We all drew our weapons prepared for the fight but of course, he went straight for me. He only had his kunai while I had my sword but I knew he wasn't going to make this easy. Just like everyone from the Mist, he was skilled in weaponry. I started to struggle against him, soon I was joined by others. We started to push him back leading him to my trap where the Stone shinobi were waiting.

I received a slash to my shoulder making me grit my teeth. I avoided another attack by jumping out of the crowd running towards the trap. He fell for the bait running after me. I looked at each shinobi nodding slightly making them get ready. As we got closer, they made the wall surrounding us while shinobi surrounded the rear. Sora realized he was trapped and let out an angry growl. I bit my thumb weaving signs.

"Ninja art: Snake Constriction!" I shouted as I slammed my hands onto the ground summoning five Boas who lunged towards Sora wrapping around him. He struggled against my snakes and thankfully he couldn't break free. The sealing team quickly came with their scrolls preparing to seal him.

"Damn you half breed." He cursed while glaring at me. "You should be the one that is dead not me!"

"I don't know why you're so upset, you're already dead." I placed a hand on my hip catching my breath. That jutsu took a lot out of me.

"I shouldn't be dead! I should be leading my clan! You shouldn't exist!" He yelled attempting to lunge at me, but the snakes kept him at bay.

"Hm that may be the case, but you can't change the past. Although, I am glad you are the clan head. I would love to have a strong leader like you." I told him just before he was sealed.

Everyone had cheered that the battle was finally over. They all grabbed the wounded heading back to camp as Kitty arrived at my side.

"Are you alright?" He questioned putting a hand on my shoulder making me relax.

"Yeah, just tired." I put my hand over his giving it a light squeeze of reassurance.

"Are you sure? You just faced your family."

"I'm sure Kitty, I can't let it get to me right now. This is war. I'll dwell on it when this is all over." I looked over at Hikaru who was looking between Kitty and I then gave me a questioning look. "Let's just get healed and rest."

I looked around seeing we were the only ones left on the battlefield while the rest were a few miles ahead of us. I then turned my attention to Hikaru.

"Hikaru, what are you doing here? How did you know where I was?"

"I knew the war was coming, I think everyone knew what was happening, even the non-shinobi. You guys were making a big commotion too. It was pretty hard to find you though. It was a coincidence that I found you...and the clan too...honestly wasn't expecting to see them."

I was about to reply until I saw another coffin emerge in front of us. We all got into defensive stances prepared for another attack.

"Why just a lone coffin?" I questioned just as the cover started to pop off. I was at a loss of words when I saw who it was. "M-mom?!"
