Mito walked towards team Kakashi she looked a bit pale. And she said:" I have bad news."
The breathing stopped. Team Kakashi was ready to hear anything. Mito continued :" we need to split up now. I will explain."
Kakashi stood up before she finnished :" No. We are staying together."
Mito said :" You do not understand, something so strong is coming to get me,, that even Hokage wouldn't have a chance of winning against. I can't fight it with you guys around. And besides I need you to get to Minato as quickly as possible. "
Kakashi was again ready to protest but Mito turned toward him and aaid:" Give me kunai Minato gave you. "
Kakashi asked:" why"
Mito said:" It has a Hiraishin seal on it. When you guys get there tell him to come and pick me up. Don't worry this thing doesn't have any use of me if I die so it will only try to capture me."
Kakashi was still against it. However Rin was the first who asked:" Are you sure about this, there isn't any other way we can help. "
Mito nodded her hand :" unfortunately yes. Even Minato won't have a chance, so please tell him to use Hiraishin to get me and immediately take me to you guys."
As they were speaking Black Zetsu aperead on the tree directly in front of them. And it said:" Well, well, who do we have here. "Mito grabbed the kunai Kakashi was giving her and said:" Go. "
Team 7 immediately started running withouth looking back at Mito.
Mito looked at the Black Zetsu he seamed harmless but still creepy. She asked:" what are you. "
Black Zetsu chuckled:" I am who I am, but better question is who are you. "
Mito answered :" Both of us know that."
Black Zetsu said:"indeed, Uzumaki Mito, apparently last princess of Uzumaki. I must say I was surprised by your actions. Firstly you stole Sanbi, then you killed one of the Swordsman then you joined Konoha, then killed Danzo. I must say you have a lot of achievements for such young girl. "
Mito didn't say anything she wanted him to speak as much as he could it bought her a lot of time.
Black Zetsu continued :" however you ruined my fun, what are going to do about it. "
Mito answered :" I don't know, I don't know what I can do for you if I don't know who you are."
Black Zetsu said:" I am Zetsu."
Mito answered :" I can't do anything for you then."
Black Zetsu jumped down on the ground and said:" is that so, I geuss I will need to take you down. Maybe then you will change your mind. "
Mito said :" maybe, but maybe not."
Black Zetsu attacked with his wood style the wood shot from the ground. Mito managed to avoid it by jumping just in time however Black Zetsu wasn't going easy on her the wood followed her everywhere. Mito yelled at him:" hey can I call you plant because we are going to fight for long time and I like to give things nicknames."
Black Zetsu didn't react however white part did :" I like this one."
Mito smirked:" I knew, that you had a humorous side, but I didn't think it was literally a side. "
Black Zetsu used more chakra and flowers started to bloom. Mito quickly covered her mouth and nose. Asking :" Are you trying to kill me. "
Zetsu was finally going for it he used one of his most deadly wood release jutsu. The branches started to grow sharper and started to move towards Mito. Mito used biju chakra and unsealed Samehada at the same time. She used it to cut the wood and eat some of chakra. Zetsu was obviously planning to tire her out, but once she used biju chakra he seemed to hesitate. He now had to capture her, and to that he had to go all out. They were fighting for an hour already and Mito wasn't tired at all.
Team Kakashi was moving the fastest they could, they didn't look back for a second. They trusted in everything Mito said. They could hear strange noise and vibrations coming from the place where they left her.
Of course the noises and vibration was caused by Mito she had to throw every kind of seal at him. The explosion seals seemed to do some damage but Black Zetsu would regenated quickly. Mito managed to get out of the Zetsu created jungle. And now she was chased by Zetsu while she would throw seals at him. She knew that her current form had weaknesses for wood release however Zetsu wasn't strong enough to use it in his advantage. Zetsu continued to use his extremely large resevrse and to try to catch her. Mito still had some seals to throw at Zetsu. She wondered if paralysis seals would actually work. If they did she would have a chance. She had to make them stick to his body. She jumped for the first time toward him. He didn't react at all he only moved his finger slightly and branches began to change directions he now closed the space behind her however Mito didn't mind if he thought he had her.
Mito slowly lifted her hand upward, she was close and just as she was to reach him. Her leg was wrapped by branch. Zetsu whisper into her ear:" I got you."
However one he came close Mito put the seal on him and activated it. Zetsu could not move a inch.
She managed to cut the branch with Samehada and run she unsealed other sword and started to cut through the branches. Zetsu was mumbling something. She finally broke out. She looked back and saw that black part of Zetsu was parting ways with white part she started to run again. However Zetsu didn't immediately run after her. He simply removed the seal from the white side and combined their bodies back. However it was enough for Mito to make a large distance between them. Black Zetsu had to catch her quickly. It was already 2 hours of this boorish fight, because neither of them had clear advantage. Mito was stronger but couldn't kill him and he couldn't capture her, luckily for him he had infiniteve resevrse of chakra, while Mito still being both Uzumaki and jinchuriki had a limit.
Team Kakashi was getting close to meeting place. They had a full hour to go and they had to hope that Minato would be already there. Obito and Rin couldn't keep up with Kakashi and were left behind, but not to far back. Mito finally had sometime to check her surroundings with the help of Isobu. She could feel to the same distance like when she meditated. She could feel Kakashi getting closer to the meeting point and not to far behind Obito and Rin. She could feel Minato being at the meeting point. She knew she had to fight just little bit longer. However she also knew that biju mode would run out in next half of hour. She also could feel Zetsu getting closer and closer. He seemed to be furious and fast too. Mito wondered if she will manage to fight him of.
