Miyuki Hatake

Chapter 40

" what are they?" Sakura said

" clones from the look of it" Kabuto said

" yeah and a bunch of them" Miyuki said " Riku go and hide " Riku instead hid inside her jacket " well I guess it's better than you being out in the open"

" hehe like cornered rats. Look you've even got a rat with you" a clone said

" he's not a rat! He's a raccoon!" Miyuki exclaimed

" oh yeah cornered rats are we?!" Naruto exclaimed punching one of the clones.

' well what ever they are they sure can't take a punch' Sakura thought

" that's showing him! Way to go!" Sakura said

Naruto's punch went right through the clone a bit of black slime was on Naruto's hand. Everyone else was shocked.

' what are they?' Sasuke thought

' what type of jutsu is this?' Miyuki thought

From that one clone that was punched half of the slime was creating another one in the other half.

" I just touched him and he turn to mush" Naruto said

' what's really going on here?' Sasuke thought

' is this really a genjutsu? Or a different type of jutsu?' Miyuki thought

' sharingan!' Sasuke thought activating his sharingan. They saw the clone about to attack Naruto when Sasuke threw his shurikens at the clones destroying it.

" Riku go!" Miyuki muttered at the raccoon

Then Riku jumped out of miyuki's jacket running into the bushes. Another clone threw a kunai knife at Sasuke but he couldn't move he didn't know why.

" Sasuke!" Miyuki said pushing him down the kunai grazed her shoulder.

" Miyuki! Sasuke!" Sakura said

" I'll be okay" Miyuki said she looked at Sasuke he didn't move.

' what's going on? Can't move my body' Sasuke thought

" are you two okay?" Sakura asked

" yeah" Miyuki said looking at her shoulder she glanced at Kabuto taking the knife that hit her.

' it's obvious this things real enough. No illusion here' Kabuto thought

" surrender your scroll" the clones said

They kept repeating it coming closer to them.

" the fact that Miyuki is wounded and bleeding means that these things are real shadow clones" Naruto said "but shadow clones are suppose to vanish when you give them a good shot. But these things don't!"

"Maybe we're dealing with a type of genjutsu or something " Miyuki said

" Surrender your scroll" the clone said

" Come and get it!" Naruto exclaimed

" it's no use! Save it!" Sasuke exclaimed

" but Sasuke what can we do?" Miyuki said

" we'll only be fighting illusions. It's genjutsu all right. " Sasuke said

" illusions? But how? That gash on miyuki's arm is real enough "Sakura said

" that's true but sasuke's right could be the real enemy is in hiding" Kabuto said " somewhere in the woods nearby. Launching real attacks from these illusions "
