Strategic team

Chapter 7: The fight

"Were here, that's the house they are staying at currently." We traveled for a day and a half, getting here as fast as we could, wasting no time. We finally arrived at a small rundownish town. We followed instructions to quickly get to the bridge. As we ran, Shikamaru started to instruct us, with the little information we got, we started to prepare for a battle up ahead.

"Shino! Can you send some bugs over to the house where team seven stayed to make sure they are okay?" Bugs started to fly away from Shino as he asked them to check up on the house.

"The bridge is just up ahead! What's the plan when we get there Shikamaru?" I was started to see the shape of the bridge, along with a heavy fog.

"First we will asses the situation, Kurenai Sensei, will you go assist Kakashi Sensei when we get there? He is probably dealing with the criminal Zabuza from the letter, the rest of us will split up depending on where we need to be to help."

"Hai, good planning Shikamaru! Good luck everyone, try not to get too hurt." And with that, our Sensei was gone. We ran into the fog, as I spotted Hinata protecting the traveler, Sasuke and Naruto must be fighting someone else because from the corner of my eye I spotted both Sensei's and Zabuza. We kept running.

"There I some sort of ice mirror jutsu going on over there, Sakura, You go back and help Hinata, we can help these two out." I nodded and double backed, keeping the same pace towards the other girl. As I passed The two Jonin and the criminal again, I felt his eyes on me. Only for a second, but they were there. I cant go back to Hinata, if he gets away from the two Jonin can come after me then she might be done for. So, I started to run to the other side of the bridge, so that I was across from Hinata but still able to see them, only a little but still.

"Shadow clone Jutsu!" Suddenly, I was surrounded by clones. Clones of the criminal Zabuza. Fear pricked me through my body, But I got into a fighting stance, and pulled out a Kunai. "You don't think you can fight me and survive do you little girl?" His voice rang through and around me. The real Zabuza must be keeping the Sensei's busy. I just have to hold off until I can get help. So.... stay alive until then. Got it. "You really think you are a match for me?" My ears ringed with his cold voice. "I tried to warn you."

Suddenly, one of the clones lunged at me, I ducked quickly and sent a chakra pulse through the ground to my teammates before I stood up, looking around at the rest f them. They seemed to be attacking one at a time. At random. All I could do, was dodge and throw the Kunai whenever there was an opening.

Five left from the seven that surrounded me. Five left. Of seven. This was bad, my attacks were no match against him. And to put it bluntly, I'm still alone. I'm dead meat. Two came lunging at me, as the other three threw a Kunai. I managed to dodge the two clones, and one even disappeared from the attack of the thrown kunai from one of their fellow clones. I nearly missed one by taking a step back, But this action led me into the path of the third knife. My head was fine, but my leg was stabbed, deep. There was no way I was going to live from this!

"Hey!" Came a soft voice from behind them. They all turned to look. I took my chance as I threw a Kunai at them all and another set of knives copied me. The person responsible for the knives rushed over to me as I fell. only four out of the five fell for this trick. There was still one left. And he was getting serious, he pulled out the huge knife on his back and pointed it at us.

"You put up a good fight, But now it's time to die." Hinata was trembling beside me, unaware of what to do.

"It's alright.. I'm pretty sure I stalled enough time anyway."

"Hm?" Then his eyes widened, he dropped his sword. "What the? What's going on!?!?" I smirked. My hand down on the ground, was feeding chakra to my teammate, Shikamaru. Dark Chakra. So, along with the big shadow from the fog, My chakra was helping Shikamaru win his fight faster, As I stalled mine.

"I'm pretty sure what's happening now is my special Jutsu. Shadow Possession Jutsu. Sakura, if you will?" Shikamaru could be barely seen from the fog, he seemed as cocky as ever too. I'm pretty sure if I threw a kunai and it hit the clone, it would also hurt my teammate. But the clone doesn't know that, so if Shikamaru lets go of his hold at the right time, then he wont be hurt.

I grabbed my fallen kunai and threw it at the frozen clone. Shikamaru let go of his jutsu right before it hit the clone straight in the head. I stopped giving my teammate chakra, which seemed to relive my body from a strain I didn't notice. My vision went fuzzy, as I hit the ground. Black was all my unconscious body could see.
