The Chakra faded from view and Naruto growled low, crouched on all fours. He looked up suddenly at Haku, who quickly held up Senbon as the boy rushed at him.

"He's coming!"

Haku narrowed his eyes behind his mask

Haku narrowed his eyes behind his mask. "He looks nothing like he used to!" Haku threw the Senbon and leapt into another mirror. His eyes widened when the Senbon were knocked away by an invisible force. "His Chakra repelled my attack!"

Naruto stopped running and growled as each of the mirrors reflected Haku's image.

"Then..."

Each Haku launched Senbon at the boy and stuck into his body. He dropped to his knees for a moment and then let out a loud growl as another wave of red-orange Chakra burst from his body and ejected the needles. Haku's duplicates vanished and, before he could escape, Naruto rushed at the mirror and shattered it with a single strike.

"This should do it!" Haku emerged from a mirror shard with a single Senbon clenched in his hands and took aim at Naruto's vital spot. As he jumped down to drive the weapon into the boy, the blond leaped easily out of the way as Haku crashed to the ground.

Haku recovered and reeled back as Naruto's red eyes glared at him. "Why?!" He moved to enter another mirror quickly and was stopped as Naruto gripped his arm tightly. "No! It can't be!"

Naruto's eyes narrowed and he let out another half-scream, half-growl as Chakra bubbled around him.

Kakashi's eyes widened as the intense pressure in the air increased. "Could... Naruto's seal have been broken...?!" He narrowed his eyes and gazed into the mist. "No... this feeling... It's true that the seal is weakened and the Chakra of the Nine-Tailed Fox is escaping, but..." Kakashi reached into a pouch on the front of his flak jacket and retrieved a scroll. "Fortunately, the seal is not completely broken! I still have some time!"

He tossed the scroll into the air, pricking the tip of his thumb as he caught the scroll and opened it, smearing his blood over the seals.
