You ducked into a perfect split avoiding a Senbon aimed straight for your neck. You couldn't seem to understand why you were able to avoid some of your attacks. The boys attacks weren't coming at the same rate as some of yours were.

Was he taking it easy on you?

Was it on purpose or is he messing with you?

You didn't finish your thought when you were struck in the chest by one of them. You winced since it didn't go deep enough but, it cut something to produce a decent amount of blood.

You got up and filled your hand with a small amount of Chakra before yelling at sasuke "I'm taking a wild guess! Use your sharingan!"

He nodded his newly required sharingan swirling once more as he used his fire breathing jutsu once more beads of sweat racing down his temple.

You ran at the mirrors and scanned them for a moment and looked over seeing Naruto had the same idea. You jumped from the first mirror to the next and your fist hit the mirror with agonizing force your blood spreading slowly onto the mirror but, not a crack.

However, there was a slight flicker and then a yell from Sasuke "he moved! To your left!" You spun around quickly your fist connecting with the mirrors before you backed away and caught a glimpse of Naruto jumping over you along with maybe twenty others before they pounded the mirror.

After five minutes, the mirror dented and Naruto lay panting the mirror dented and nearly shattered. The ninja ' s with the same face all stayed neutral...well from what you could see.

He raised a hand once more but, this time it was another jutsu. You didn't hear it but, the boys obviously did. You heard a slight shout from Naruto before you were all pelted by raining Senbon.

You gave a scream of agony as you collapsed dozens of Senbon hitting all of you.

You glanced over at your hiraikotsu. It took to much to weild it during an entire battle especially after how long ago it's been since you've used it.

The boys weren't effected as much and struggled to get up. They ran to your side as you held your side wincing in pain "(y/n)!" Naruto shouted taking a Senbon from your arm which was lodged pretty deep.

Sasuke narrowed his eye's at your pained face but, you could see the worry in his eye's and the slight squeeze he gave your hand.

"I'll be up in a moment...on your right" you said and sasuke brought out a Kunai before deflecting a Senbon.

Naruto rubbed your hand softly before getting up quickly and Sasuke as well before they headed towards the mirror's again. In hopes of ending this never ending battle.

Sasuke took out a Kunai before hurling it towards the face of one of the ninjas in the mirror. The image didn't flicker as the Kunai was caught and thrown back with the break neck force.

You hastily got to your feet as the battle waged and picked up hiraikotsu before forcing it to poof back into its scroll "I'll see u later old friend" you whispered before making a jutsu as you ran towards the second highest mirror jumping up.

You yelled "shanarro!" Before, your Chakra charged fist slammed into the solid frame breaking a few bones but, shattering the glass and splattering blood onto the ground.

You flipped backwards stumbling slightly as you landed and wedged out a few glass shards from your knuckles. You panted in pain and exhaustion looking over at your teammates.

They were a good team. Whether they knew it or not. They had each other's backs. You smiled slightly before rushing over to them to help.

"Your attempts are pathetic" you all froze hearing the voice.

Naruto immediately went defensive even if he was panting in a heap "who you calling pathetic ya coward! Say that to my face!"

The masked rogue only inclined his head saying "your weak and I am prepared to end this now. You have wasted enough of my time".

Sasuke narrowed his eye's before telling Naruto to "do your shadow clone jutsu once more!" And then turning to you again "you have to punch that mirror..." he pointed to the middle in front of them all his sharingan swirling hypnotically in his eye's "with all you've got".

You and Naruto nodded before Sasuke positioned himself his jutsu ready a sharingan at his side. You and Naruto nodded to one another before rushing to their targets.

You focused your Chakra into your feet before climbing the mirror's trying to concentrate as you climbed the pain beginning to blind you.

Naruto gave a battle cry as he made his jutsu and puffed up proudly an smirk on his face as dozens of his clones poof ed next to him. His own army. Which he knew he'd have when he was to be hokage of the hidden leaf. He swore. He made an oath. He glanced at you as you ran up the mirror dome a look of determination etched onto your beautiful face.

Just like on the teams first fight. You were so fearless. So, brave and determined to protect the team. He'd never forget that moment. He knew he wouldn't. He was so envious of you that time and he wanted to be in your place. Protecting you instead. He didn't want to be helpless. Never again.

He's doing this for himself. But, he's fighting for you. For his team. And he'd never let them down.

Never.

Sasuke suck in a huge breath his chest puffing out. This one move from all of them could determine if they lived today. If they ever got out of this dome alive.

So, if he didn't make this one move count he may have jeopardized his teammates lives due to his miscalculated plan. That's why this had to work. Not just for his life but for...

He glanced up at you. Your movements all though unfocused were as graceful as ever. Just like on their first fight together. He wanted to go on other missions like that with you...with his team. And he'd never be able to do that if he failed today.

Failing wasn't an option. Not today. Not ever.

Never.

You ran your hand pulling back your fingers curling into a tight ball before plummeting down to the glass simultaneously as Naruto's clones raced with renewed vigor. And Sasuke unleashed his signature attack his Kunai flying as well the entire metal ablaze and racing towards the dome.

You placed your feet onto the broken glass before pushing off the solid before you fell backwards. You stumbled your feet aching as you stood.

Sasuke and Naruto collapsed their Chakra exhausted and you fell to you knee as the figures vanished from the mirror's finally. Naruto sighed exhausted earning a slight chuckle from you and Sasuke.

The battle was finally over.

You all did it. The mission would be completed soon. And you could all go home. Tazuna would be safe. Inari wouldn't have to live in fear or with that awful memory of Gato. Any longer. You nearly plopped down as your team did if not for the words you heard next.

"I'm not done yet" a voice whispered behind you all. The sharp sound of ringing and the echo of metal against metal is what scared you most.
