Ah crap.

I can't move. And the mark on my neck is burning. No! No, no, no, no, no, no! I gradually, stood from Sasuke's grasp. This pain is nothing. I don't need to bother with it! I'm fine!

I stood, and the burning of my neck decreased. However, I felt strange. Like a sudden burst of power flowed into me. "Miyu, are you alright?" Sasuke asked. I nodded. However, I felt strange these clones. They're from that boy we beat earlier. And I can see his story. His life. His jutsu's. I see it all.

It's the mark. I had the same feeling with those sound ninja. So what's happening with me?

I shook my head and pulled myself together. This is not the time! These water clones . . . I wonder if Naruto's clones can handle them while we search for the real one.

It shouldn't be hard. All I have to do is sniff the real one. But . . . I sniffed the air. Damn. He distributed equal amounts of chakra to each to prevent us from finding him.

One laughed. "Like cornered rats." I gained an irk mark. I then shook my fist his way. "Yeah, I'd like to hear you say that to my face clone boy!" I shouted angrily. My team and Kabuto sweat dropped at me. "I have had the worst few days in this stupid exam for something I don't even want to do! I've been walking, fighting, fishing, and all I want to do is go home and sleep! So don't patronize me or I'll tear you to shreds!"

"Is she okay?" Kabuto asked my team.

Naruto sighed. "She tends to get even more violent if she hasn't had any sweets and sleep." He answered.

I continued yelling profanities at the clone.

Naruto then punched one, but it stretched and pulled like a liquid. Not like normal water clones. Not like Zabuza's at least. This may be a bit out of my range. I master in taijutsu, but if this happens . . .

Another one formed form the hole and held a weapon. He then descended it down on Naruto. "Naruto! Watch out!" Sasuke threw some shuriken, tearing the arm with the weapon off. Those are some weird clones.

Instead of turning to liquid or poofing away, another clone emerged from its wound. It's like tar. The clone then threw the kunai at Sasuke. I thought he'd dodge, but he froze. It must be the mark. I pushed Sasuke to the ground. The kunai grazed my arm, but otherwise we got away unscathed.

I looked at Sasuke worriedly. His Sharingan is still intact. And the mark on his neck started glowing and spreading a bit. I helped him sit up and touched my wound. That's a solid clone, not an illusion. So he's like Naruto.

Sakura kneeled down to Sasuke's other side and I stood, leaving him to her care. "Sasuke, deactivate your Sharingan. It's why you're frozen." With that said I went to Naruto's aid.

The clones were all saying; 'surrender your scroll' like a bunch of freaks. "Come and get it!" Naruto was about to throw a kunai when Sasuke shouted. "It's no use, save it!" Naruto stopped, clearly irritated.

Oh well. I gathered chakra in my fists and feet and went to attack. "Miyu stop!" I punched through one cloned chest. But it didn't disappear or turn to water. "What the?" I tried to yank my hand out, but the cone kept hold of it.

Another clone came behind me and I brought my leg up and kicked its head right off. However a new head replaced it. "Miyu, stop, they're just illusions!" Sasuke shouted.

I know that. That's why I'm fighting. To observe where they could be. A kunai went for me from the clone my hand was still stuck in and I narrowly evaded it. Whoa. That was close.

"Alright let go of me you gas mask freak!" I successfully broke free and jumped back to my friends. "Now what?" I asked irritated. I gathered nothing from them. I couldn't pin point their exact location. All the chakras in the air is messing with my sense of smell.

Before Naruto could speak, I spoke first. "We can't simply look around blindly for them bro. it's not that simple." I know him well enough to know he wants to go look for the real deals. It could be called a twin thing.

"She's right. If we went out they could pick us off one by one easily, like they planned." Kabuto backed me up.

I smirked. "This kind of attack is funny. It's the type that's casted by weak ninja's who suck in basic taijutsu. They're a bunch of cowards who are afraid of a simple fist fight. That's why they develop such a jutsu." I said, recalling the scroll I found in gramps office.

Kabuto nodded and we looked at the clones wearily. "The only thing we can do is hold out ground and fend off their attacks." Kabuto said. I nodded. "Okay fine. Whatever let's just do it." Naruto said agitatedly.

Alright, now, for this. The clones started throwing kunai's and we either deflected them, or dodged them. Man this is annoying. They kept on coming.

I groaned. "They're starting to get on my nerves." I complained. Naruto made a familiar hand sign. "Ok, this isn't going to work." Kabuto stopped him, saying it's pointless. But more Naruto's can help us. Naruto did it regardless of Kabuto's reasoning's.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" we watched as a bunch of Naruto's started pounding on the enemy. However they regrouped, just like I knew they would. However. I smirked. This plan just might work.

I smirked and looked at my team and Kabuto. "Adieu." I then attacked them as well, with only taijutsu. Soon they followed.

~

Dawn is breaking and we're absolutely exhausted. Well, Naruto and I. 'Sasuke', 'Sakura', and 'Kabuto' dropped to the ground, panting. Only Naruto and I were in bad condition. I decided to stick with Naruto. For protection.

"I'm just warming up." I groaned. No. I'm done. Soon the clones dispersed and three ninja's stood, all in white. Uhg! It's about damn time! I was tired of waiting!

One looked at 'Sasuke'. "You! I know you! You're the one that cut me on the shoulder." He then looked at me. "And you're the one that used me like a punching bag." I glared and pulled down an eyelid and stuck my tongue out at him.

Jerk. "Quit being a little wimp about it." I muttered. "That really messed me up you know. Oh well. I'll pay both of you back. With interest." Baby. I knew he was pathetic before, but now he's gone down more.

Naruto and I smirked. Idiot.

"Well, well. Now who's the cornered rat?" Sasuke voice rung out. Sakura giggled from her position. "Worked like a charm Naruto." She commented. The ninja were looking around for them. Finally they looked behind them where our comrades stood.

"What?! It can't be! If they're over there, who are they?!" I laughed and pointed. "You guys are dumber than Naruto and Kiba's love child!" my brother shot me a glare before smirking at the enemy rain ninja.

Nothing could deflate his mood. "Confused? Sorry, it was the only way to get you guys out of hiding." Naruto did a sign and 'Sasuke', 'Sakura', and 'Kabuto' turned back into Naruto's clones. "How?! Don't tell me that little brat . . . that's impossible!"

"You underestimate my brother! He outsmarted you didn't he?" I say mockingly. Naruto then revealed how he turned three of his clones into our friends and Kabuto.

Well he's not the idiot I originally thought he was. His clones poofed away.

After his speech, the three spread out a bit and did a familiar hand sign. "Ha. Not bad. But that doesn't mean it's over. We're still feeling lucky. And besides, time is running out for all of us. So we'll just have to take the gloves off and show you our ninjutsu. Ninja Art: Fog Clone Jutsu!"

Dozens of each ninja appeared. Damn it, shadow clones. "Those are solid clones. Don't waste your strength bone head; let them make the first move."

I stepped up and walked towards the enemy and their clones. "I got this!" I called. I stopped just feet away from them and smirked. Then, with all my might, I punched the ground. "HAAA!" the ground erupted and parts came up, destroying most of the clones.

I quickly performed the hand sign. "Wind Style: Twin Dragon Jutsu!" The two dragons came from me and chased each other, creating a twister. I brought my hands up and quickly down, making the twister hit the unguarded clones and ninja.

The wind intensified and flung my friends back and the enemy's screams of pain could be heard throughout the forest.

Once it was gone, the three lay in the destroyed earth surroundings, twitching. I turned and gave a victory sign. Naruto gained an irk mark. "Why didn't you do that to begin with?!" He shouted.

Now I gained the irk mark. "I just save you and you're shouting at me?! You know not everyone here has as great amounts of chakra as you do! We need to replenish it before anything else! So get off my case!" I shouted back.

He jumped a bit and rubbed his head. "You're right. Sorry Miyu. Great job!" He gave me thumbs up and I smiled. Yes, as long as he's okay, I'm okay. But not just him. I turned my gaze to Sasuke and Sakura. They're important to me too.

I went to one and dug into his stuff before pulling out a Heaven Scroll. I held it up for my team to see and smiled. "Well, let's go, I'm hungry!" Naruto started jumping with excitement while Sakura cheered.

I walked stuffed the scroll into my pouch with our other one and walked to Sasuke. He smiled at me. Then I quickly placed him on my back and stood. "Put me down, I can walk." He says softly. I snorted. "Whatever liar. I can tell you're weakened. That mark is affecting you pretty badly. Now shut up and let me carry you."

"You know you're the only one who's ruined my image without me being angry. I laughed. "Well that's because you like me." I teased. He leaned towards my ear. "Yeah you're right." My face quickly flushed and I was thankful he's on my back.

"Let's go guys! We need to head towards that tower ASAP!" we then began our way to the tower. Once we made it, Kabuto's teammates met up with him and we parted ways. Naruto and Kabuto said their mushy farewells and we entered the tower.

I still don't like four eyes. Even if he helped us. I have trust issues. "What's the deal? Nobody's here." Naruto's voice echoed.

It was a strange room, like a training area but indoors and it's a corridor. Sasuke jumped off my back. "It's okay Miyu. I can manage." I sighed but let him. He slipped his hand in mine and we looked at the giant paper on the wall.

Hm? "If qualities of Heaven are your desires, acquire wisdom to take your mind higher." Sakura started reading. "If Earthly qualities are what you lack, train your body and prepare to attack." I said next. "If Heaven and Earth are opened together, the pair less path will become righteous forever. This something is the secret way that guides us from this place today." Sakura finished.

Naruto turned to me. "This what? Or is that a secret too." He asked. I shrugged, not knowing the answer. "It's like there's a word missing here." Sakura said, telling him why. I nodded. "So it's about the scrolls." I concluded for him.

"I think we're supposed to open and read the Heaven and Earth Scrolls now." Sakura said. Naruto and Sakura held the Scrolls and everyone was worried and tense.

They slowly opened it a bit to grab hold. "AHG! You guys are going to age me if you keep this up! Give it!" I snatched the scrolls, heart pounding madly. If they kept their pace it would have burst. I grabbed each bit and threw them and the scrolls unraveled.
