Mito soon after healing the dou took out a seal saying :" This seal you are using isn't good enough. Well most shinobi would pass by however if you put this one you will be safe it is created by Kushina and her soon to be husband. And this one is mine. If you activate it you can write anything you want and when you close it I will get your message through my toads. If I don't receive it then that means that either Jiraiya sama or Kushina's husband did. So don't worry about it. It will reach into safe hands either way. "
Suzume and Tamura said in same moment :" thank you for your help, and we will think about your offer. "
Mito nodded as she exited the cave headed back. She spent over 2 hours there and she needed 5 more hours to head back. Which meant she would not be around team 2 for 12 hours. While she did have her Clone there it could be handled easily. She wondered if she really made a mistake by going. She really did save possibly two lives but she didn't know what was happening with team 2.
Mito was surprised how slowly team 2 made progress with repairing the birdge when she was close by to her clone she made it go in poof. She got the memories of the Clone immediately. Team 2 had started working 9 hours ago and was around being done with half of the bridge. The bridge wasn't to big but was important. If she had helped it would be done by now. If she worked on it alone it would be done by now. Mito was walking around the bridge and would be close to them. They could always see her however sometimes they didn't like what they see. The faraway look would cross Mito face every once. Mito was thinking about possible attack and how she should react to it. Mito could feel that more kusagakure shinobi had come closer to this village. Mito knew that they would attack them once they finnish bridge. So how quickly did they need to finish it to avoid the fight was certainly few minutes. Because they were already in village. Mito knew they would fight.
She looked rather confused how nobody of team 2 didn't notice increase of chakra around them.
Mito followed them back to the inn. It wasn't surprising that they were waiting for them to end this mission. Mito warmed the team leader Todo of increase of shinobi around them in morning. Todo said he would keep that on mind. As they kept doing their mission. The rest of bridge was easy to finnish. Well because Mito decided to help when everyone was still sleeping and she woke up early. Even enemies were asleep. Mito wonder if they really could survive this without losing anything.
After finally finishing the bridge they immediately began their journey back because it was noon and they could reach half point towards Konoha if nothing went wrong. However just as they exited the small village the shinobi started to chase them. The team managed to escape to part of forest that meant beginning of land of fire. However soon they found themselves surrounded by 15 shinobi all chunin. Mito then spoke to Todo :" Todo - San please order the genins to stay close to each other while I and you defeat these forces."
Todo looked at her strangely as he asked :" Are you sure you can take them on."
Mito nodded. Todo wondered why Mito was so sure into herself. She was sad just few moments ago and now she seemed determined to fight.
He said the same thing Mito said. Shisui wanted to protest but he knew that Mito could handle this. And in next second Mito was already by enemy shinobi stabbing him in his neck making his death quick. She was rushing the enemy who didn't have enough time to react and defend. Todo was skilled enough to take care of the one on far side of Mito. So in first minute of the fight Mito managed to kill 6 enemies while Todo did one. And out of 8 remaining shinobi 4 attacked Mito at same time, to attacked Todo and other two headed towards genins.
Mito wasn't worried for them. Because she was screwed. Her four opponents were almost jonin level and had managed to surround her. She could not use her speed because it was too little space she would be hit by lucky move. So Mito tried with genjutsu infused taijutsu. Mito wasn't losing this battle but she wasn't winning it either. Todo was doing the same. His opponents were a taijutsu dou and he was good at that area and manage ti defend himself pretty good.
Luckily Shisui and Baku managed to defeat their enemies pretty soon. Baku stood backwards to protect Mido. Shisui went to help his sensei because he was closer. Mito had to move a lot and ended breaking up with group. Her opponents had started to attack in pairs which made it harder to dodge. Mito had a lot close calls. But she managed to dodge just in time.
The shinobi around her were still not injured at all. Mito then took out her sword that Genma had given her. She started to attack the one that was closest to her. However he dodged most of the attacks and Mito felt his teammate do a strong fire jutsu just behind her. She managed to jump out the way of jutsu. But her previous opponent wasn't so lucky. Mito had managed to cut his leg slightly so he didn't have enough strength to jump. Mito relaxed a bit fighting three opponents was a bit easier but they were not holding back now.
On other side Shisui managed to distract one of Todo' s oponents. Which made it easier on Todo. His attacks finally reached, and his opponent wasn't so strong right now. Todo finished him in next 10 hits. And finally had time to look at Shisui. Who was still fighting his opponent however it was clear he had this in his bag. Todo looked at Mito she just as dodge the fire attack which killed one of her opponents. He was surprised how strong she was. The girl was doing just fine fighting 3 opponents at same time. He saw Shisui finish his opponent so they began to head towards Mito. Who was distancing away from them.
Mito had trouble obliviously because they still were ones that made her pace around them.
Mito finally managed to tackle one of the enemies. As she expected the two others were hesitant to attack her. Mito sighed she had a free kill here. She decided to make it painless as seh just broke his neck. Mito then jumped towards the two others however they were ready and they even managed to cut leg a bit Mito however wasn't hesitating to move with this wound it did hurt a lot but it was over for them. She managed to prevent Shisui getting sharingan. Mito smiled happily as she jumped up yelling and slashing her enemies down. Only to realize one managed to dodge and stab her in abdomen. Mito smirked looking him eye as she said :" that isn't enough to take me down."
Mito then took out a kunai and she stabbed him. His death was slow.
Mito could feel a bit of uneasiness, but she decided to ignore it. She heard Shisui shout her name. He was probably worried for her. She lifted her hand up from her crouched position to show him that she was fine. Shisui relaxed for a moment, his heart had calmed down. He and Todo were still far away but they kept running towards her, just to take her to hospital sooner. However just as they started to run. Mito felt a familiar chakra and before she could say a word. Branches of tree pierced her from underground. She screamed in pain. Then she noticed the halt in Shisui's movements and suddenly she realized. Black Zetsu the bastard target Shisui. He needs someone with sharingan, and to take revenge on Mito. And this is the best way. Mito cried in pain and she was barely able to move. Black Zetsu appeared just next to her Mito mumbled :" You sick bastard."
And he chuckled in response. Mito wasn't afraid for herself, she knew that black Zetsu would not kill her. Because his plan would be impossible to reach if he did so. Mito was afraid what he would do to Shisui. Would he take him. Would Shisui fil in position that was meant for Obito. Madara would probably brainwash him. Mito started to tremble and then when she finally managed to gather enough strength to yell she yelled :" Shisui stay back, do not approach any close."
However the only thing she got as a response was a shocked expression on Shisui face his eyes blood red and Mito realized it was magekyo sharingan. With one sharp breath she looked away from his eyes. She must be careful. Isobu would be controlled by Shisui who Is clearly not himself right now. Shisui dissappear in the next moment just to appear closer to the dou. Mito recognize that was his special ability.sl Shisui the Sunsihn. Mito knew she couldn't stop him. However she had to think of something. She was indeed deaply wondend but she still had tricks up her sleeve. She just to hope Shisui could buy her some time. Todo was rushing towards them too. Mito had bad idea in mind. She knew that if Tsunade was here she would kill her for doing this. Mito pressed her hands on the wood that had pieced her abdominal region. She then pured her chakra in wood. Taking control from Black Zetsu on this branch. She then slowly ordered it to get back underground.
While Mito was doing so Shisui managed to appear next to black Zetsu and started to attack it filled with rage. He didn't hear Mito's warning he saw her death, a result of slight genjutsu that black Zetsu did. The genjutsu did break once Shisui activated magekyo however it was too late then he had lost it. Shisui started to fight this thing. His body twisted as he tried his best. His opponent was good at dodging. His fire attacks didn't do much damage, probably because that thing decided to block it with trees. The next thing Shisui saw was a attack that was headed towards him. However before he could react. His sensei manged to caught him and move him out the way. Luckily both of them were uninjured.
Mito felt a lot better the branch was out of her, but she was bleeding a lot now. She used a lot of her chakra and decided to use Isobus to heal herself. Which made her unable to move until it is finished. She almost lost her concentration when she felt that attack. Her worries Died down for Shisui for few breif moments because she was more worried for Todo. Mito took few careful breaths in and then out.
Black Zetsu was annoyed, everyone was getting in his way, he should just kill this fool. He wasn't aiming for Shisui from beginning, but at Todo. He then noticed that Mito was free. So he didn't have much choice he had to take Shisui know. Before he realizes that Mito is fine. He then charged forwards his chakra gathering in huge amounts. Mito could feel it, could predict what was about to happen. She wasn't finnished with healing but it was almost done. She stopped healing and she started to rush towards Shisui.
Black Zetsu was in front of Shisui and his wood barrier started to trap the boy. His other attack was meant to make Todo run away. His second attack was successful. Todo didn't have a choice. He could run towards his student however that meant a certain death for both of them. And it seemed that Shisui managed to sunshin out the way. However black Zetsu was following him. Mito feared for moment that she was late however she was desperate and only had one thing to do.
Shisui was trapped and he was waiting for the pain to come. However it didn't. He was surprised when a hand grabbed his feet from underground and he was trapped in ground. The hand proofed and someone appeared where he once was standing. It was the red hair he thought he would never ever see again. However he didn't understand what was she doing. Only hearing her words :" why didn't you stay away as I said. I can this one but no one else can."
And in next few seconds the roots started to grow around Mito who quickly henged into Shisui, her chakra signal was copy of Shisui too. She wondered how long it would take for Zetsu to notice she said to Shisui :" use the gift a put in your backpack once I am gone. It will send a message to Minato. He will save me, so please don't do anything reckless." and just like that she was pulled down. The walls around them fell down and Shisui noticed two things. A seal on his leg, and a seal on his backpack he wondered how she managed to put them. However he stopped when he heard his sensei. Shisui tried his best to get out the hole seeing that he could not he screamed :" sensei i am here, I need help."
His sensei found him in seconds. His usually call sensei was out of his mind. Shisui asked :" How are the others."
Todo smiled :" they are fine. I was worried for you how did you survive."
Shisui sadly said :" Mito took my place, but she isn't dead she was taken hostage. And she gave me a seal to send a message."
The dou that didn't fight much and were frighten to death from seeing this fight were heading towards them. While Shisui was trying to use the seal. Luckily Todo knew what type of seal it was and how to use it, since he took some classes from fuinjutsu users in past month. He wrote everything that happened and send it to Minato as a emergency.
