Izayoi's P. O. V:

I slash Shoten in its Benizakure form but Yozoraoka dodges.

She does a set of hand signs. "Fire Release: Running Fire Jutsu." I jump away as she blows out chakra infused fire at me, but it seems to follow me. I changed my sword to my Sea Empress Armour and cut through the flames before swinging at her.

She deflects my attacks. Yozoraoka does another set of hand signs. "Fire Style: Demon Lantern Jutsu."

She blows out lanterns of fire with demonic faces in them and they swarm towards me. I slice through them with my Sea Empress sword before I change it to my Lightning Empress spear.

I thrust a bolt of electricity at her but Yozoraoka dodges.

"Wind Release: Spiralling Wind Ball," Says the green eyed woman before holding her hand next to her mouth. Chakra infused wind swirls before it before sue blows out a spiralling ball towards me.

It explodes and I cry out before several more come at me.

"Izayoi!" Kakashi exclaims. He goes to run to my aid but is blocked by Nanashi who swings his sword at him and cuts through the front of Kakashi's flak jacket.

"You should really worry about your own opponent, Copy Ninja," Says the blue haired man.

Yozoraoka sends out her Blade of Wind Jutsu at me but I lunge from the smoke of her other Jutsu and and slash my twin long swords through her Wind Style Jutsu.

"What?!" She gasps as I sense Kakashi smiling, even though he's clashing with Nanashi.

I bring my swords towards the pinkette but she somehow manages to dodge them by backflipping.

"No one's ever been able to cut through a wind sword like that before!" Yozoraoka grits out. "Leaf Style Willow."

She starts to wave her sword arm and in a few moments, I could see multiple swords waving. I realise I'm in a Genjutsu and quickly break myself out of it.

I then knock Yozoraoka back with a strike of my sword.

Nanashi tries to swing his sword for Kakashi's front again but he blocks it and swings his kunai for the man's stomach. That's blocked too. Kakashi then attempts to slash his arm but it's deflected. Nanashi swiftly forms a gash on Kakashi's left leg, causing him to grunt.

Kakashi then lifts up his headband to reveal his Sharingan and does hand signs. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Kakashi blows out a chakra enhanced ball of fire which Nanashi dodges before running at him. Kakashi does another set of hand signs. "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"

He blows out mini fireballs which Nanashi dodges with ease before aiming a swipe for Kakashi's side. Kakashi jumos away to avoid it and they clash blades again, bodies blurring.

"Wind of the Fire Sword," Says Yozoraoka, "Roaring Flame Whirlwind."

With a swing, flames spot out from her sword towards me. I try to get away but they form walls of fire. I scowl.

"Wind of the Fire Sword: Blazing Wind Sphere!" I gasp as a massive sphere of chakra enhanced fire comes shooting towards me at high speeds. I couldn't go anywhere and a scream escapes my throat as the Jutsu hits.

I hear Yozoraoka laughing even as I swiftly cast the Substitution Jutsu and disappear in a log.

The flames soon die down and from my hiding place, I see horror etched onto Kakashi's features as Yozoraoka smiles darkly.

However, it disappears when she sees the log in my place.

"What?! A Substitution?!" She exclaims in confusion, only to jerk her head up upon feeling movement from above her.

Yozoraoka doesn't dodge my attack in time and screams.

Kakashi looks immensely relieved to see I'm alive. "She's alive," He murmurs. "Huh?"

We stare at Yozoraoka as smoke wafts from her wound and it begins to heal. "It's useless! I can heal myself with my Yin Healing Wound Destruction Jutsu!" She says as she looks back at me.

"Reverse Mist Beheading," Yozoraoka says before sending a bunch of Shadow Clones at me. I quickly jump in the air as Kakashi and Nanashi resume their own battle, however, Yozoraoka was there to attack me and I feel her graze my left shoulder, forcing me back to the earth.

I grunt as I hit the ground. Yozoraoka slashes and stabs at me with her Full Moon Style before I eventually collapse. She stands over me, pointing her sword at my chin. I note the dark glint in her eye.

"You're finished, Scarlet Thread. Say goodbye to your beloved!"

Yozoraoka raises her katana to kill me.
