Sasuke and I continued to get pelted with Senbon after Senbon, avoiding them as best we could, as a plan started to stimulate in our minds.

Fighting is useless, we have to get out of here. Just as I began thinking of a plan, there was a large cloud of smoke and we all turned towards it. I couldn't see who had caused the smoke, but a sigh of relief escaped my lips when I finally saw who it was.

Naruto.

"Don't fret guys!" He said triumphantly "everything will be alright now!"

We contiuned to stare at him, not saying anything when Sakura said what everyone was thinking.

"BAKA!" She screeched angrily "INSTEAD OF SNEAKING IN HERE AND GETTING THE JUMP ON THEM YOU MAKE A LOUD ENTRANCE?! BAKA, BAKA, BAKA!"

Naruto blushed in embarrassment and Kakashi Sensei shook his head in what seemed like disappointment.

"How annoying" Zabuza said, throwing four Shuriken at Naruto at a blink of an eye.

We all gasped as the Shuriken raced towards Naruto causing his eyes to widen.

Clang!!

The Shuriken were knocked out of the air by the ninjas Senbon and they all laid flat on the ground. Zabuza raised a questioning eyebrow and stared at his companion.

"I want to kill the boy myself" the ninja said simply.

Zabuza chuckled and shook his head "you've grown soft. Fine, do what you want with him."

Zabuza turned back to Kakashi Sensei and they engaged in a fierce battle once more. Sasuke pulled a Kunai from his pouch and tried to throw it at the ninja while he was distracted. The ninja caught the Kunai between his fingers without looking, causing Sasuke to glare angrily.

"I'll deal with you later" the ninja said to Naruto, turning back towards the mirrors "I must kill these two first."

Naruto turned to look at the mirrors and once he saw Sasuke and I stuck inside his eyes widened. The ninja went back into the mirrors and took no hesitation in pulling out Senbon and throwing them at us. I dodged them all as best I could, but the pain was intensifying when two got stuck in my knee, sending me on my hands and knees in pain as I pulled them out.

"Naruto!" Kakashi Sensei said while continuing to fight "you attack the mirrors from the outside while Sasuke and Ruka try from the inside."

We nodded and tried using our Kunai to smash the mirrors but it was no use, even Sasuke's fire Jutsu couldn't melt them. The mirrors weren't connected so we could easily slid under, but every time we tried the ninja would easily stop us.

How are we going to get out of here?!

"Hey guys! I'm here to help!"

We both spun around only to come face to face with Naruto. Why would he....? I sighed deeply as Naruto stared at me confused.

"BAKA!" Sasuke said angrily curling his hands into fist "now we're all stuck in here!"

Naruto angrily glared at Sasuke and said "no we're not, believe it! We can just slide under!"

He then attempted to do so when the ninja kicked him back harshly.

"Naruto we already tried that" I said sighing "it doesn't work!"
