Mito after walking two days finally could feel a human with her sensor abilities. She could feel him waiting for something. She immediately knew that this shinobi will attack them. He was obliviously a scout of enemy team. Mito didn't alert anyone she wanted to handle this one. If she remembered correctly this shinobi was named Mahiru, but that wasn't important she had to avoid Obito freezing and Kakashi using chidori. So she waited and waited for him to attack. Minato was looking at her for a moment and saw that she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings but only to one certain point.
Mahiru finally jumped out to attack however before he could even attack them directly his head was cutted of by Mito using her speed and sword. Unfortunately Mahiru activated his traps beforehand and some sharp Bambi had started to fall down on team 7. They managed to avoid them. Minato looked angry at her saying :" You could worn us."
Mito answered :" I could but then he would know I knew that he was there. Besides it was easier this way."
Minato said:" we could use some information from him."
Mito answered :" his information could be lies, and we could be trapped by them. "
Mito went to body and searched it she didn't find anything. So she said:" He was just a scout so let's just go. Minato', your part of mission is just as important as our. You need to create a chaos there so they don't think about watching over Kannabi bridge."
Minato nodded his head. Soon Minato went his way he had one day of walk to battlefield while they had just the same in other direction,but they had to move slowly and carefully for a day. And he could just rush to battle.
Even though Kakashi was team leader, he followed Mito everywhere. Mito could feel a shinobi force moving towards them. While she was expecting only two shinobi, she should know that wouldn't happen, this mission was taking place a lot earlier. She slowly counted them there were 5 chunin and 6 jonin. She stopped team Kakashi by raising her hand saying :" Rin stay close to me all the time, there are 11 of them. So be extra careful used this time to prepare your weapon and attack as soon as you see them."
Mito took out both of her swords and she gave Rin the one Genma gave her saying :" You will defend yourself easier with this one.. "She turned to Obito and said:" use your sharingan. I have chakra pills if you will need them." Obito nodded as he activated them, he took kunai and got in stance. Kakashi took out his father's tanto.
Mito threw few seals which she attached to her chakra strings she learned from Jiraiya. She hoped that this would be enough. The enemy was getting closer at fast speed but they didn't know where exactly team Kakashi was so when they came in range were surprised by how ready the team looked. However they were cocky knowing they both outnumbered them and were individually stronger. The chunin rushed forward and one of jonin did too. Mito activated the seals as soon as they were in range. But because how fast they moved the explosion did so much damage that it killed 4 chunins on the spot fifth was heavyly wounded and couldn't move. The jonin actually managed to dodge most of the explosion but still his left arm was burned a lot. Obito threw a kunai at him and killed him. Mito knew this wasn't over now the jonins were extra careful and they didn't want to get closer. So only thing Mito could do was use Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu. Water dragon was huge and it headed straight for team of jonins 2 of them managed dodge it completely and both Kakashi and Obito attacked one of them. While three jonins didn't dodge completely they did not receive much damage. Both Kakashi and Obito had a upper hand at fighting their opponents. The jonins were obliviously trained for long range battle and didn't have much experience in close combat. Well maybe Kakashi opponent was good at taijutsu but he wasn't good at kenjutsu.
Mito protected Rin the best she could. She could see 2 guys but felt 3 guys. She was extra careful for that one. Mito was keeping a distance from them she would sometimes throw kunai, sometimes use Water Gun Tehniques and sometimes swing Samehada. The jonin were capable to dodge both of bullets of water and kunai, however they were unable to completely avoid Samehadas range. Rin tried her best to guard Mitos back. Mito would told her from where camouflaged shinobi would attack.
Minato finally arrived at battlefield where he found Konoha forces severely outnumbered it seemed like Iwas forces decided to attack today with full force. He couldn't even meet with captain of batilion. He decided to use his trump card Flying Raijin Jutsu (Hiraishin no Jutsu) he managed to kill more than half of Iwa shinobi in 15 minutes. Which was enough for Konoha shinobi to start attacking and winning this battle. He knew that the bridge was still in use and he was getting worried for them. However he focused on the enemy in front of him. Iwa forces started to panic as soon as he appeared calling him Yellow Flash. The more he fought and the more there Konoha won. He was getting restless. He didn't know what was happening he actually didn't know when they should reach the bridge. Even if they assumed the distance was a lot shorter for them, they had to move slow and careful. He was so close to Iwa captain that he heard everything the main said. He heard one report of missing 6 jonin and 5 chunin that were supposed to come and help 3 hours ago. However he didn't have enough time to process that.
Kakashi was getting closer and closer to seriously injuring his enemy. The jonin however adapted to situations very quickly and manage to dodge every dangerous swing. Kakashi was getting frustrated he knew that Mito and Rin were in difucult situation. Kakashi was getting faster with every swing. He was getting tired but he knew he had to push harder. He finally made a opening with his tanto. He threw some kunai and they landed on jonin legs unabeling him from moving. Kakashi moved forward his tanto moving quickly he sliced two times his opponent and killed him.
He ran towards Rin and Mito as fast as he could.
On the other side of battle Obito struggled with how good his opponent was at jumping back and keeping his distance. Obito however wasn't discouraged at all, he knew for what his sharingan was best for: 1 for prediction moves, 2 for genjutsu and 3 for special ability of Uchiha. While he didn't know what his special ability what he could use were first two in his advantage. He carefully layed down a genjutsu. When he was sure his opponent was under the spell he attacked. He finished him with kunai ro his throat.
He started to move towards Mito and Rin he could see that Kakashi also was moving towards them.
