Sitting in the shrine and focusing her will outward, Luta Beia directed the movement of her aura to turn about, wanting to enjoy the sight of the Saotome spawn reducing to ash. Instead, what she saw was Ryoko falling, but body still intact.
"The child didn't die?" the false priestess growled from her shrine.
Of course not, poorly trained or not, she had some control of her chi, and she carried yin within her.
The shinobi were already moving.
That blonde-haired one stepped to catch the Saotome as she fell while the other two moved between her aura and the fallen member of their team.
Unfortunately, that trapped her aura between the slowly filling break in the prison behind her and the way back to her body. Until the prison repaired itself, going back that way would mean the destruction of her aura and leave her weak for sometime afterward.
Then again, an extended fight would use up much of her chi as well.
Luta firmed her lips together, she'd just have to take it out of the shinobi.
Decision firmly set, she started to move for the two blocking her path.
Their chakra might shield them a little, but they had no real way to stop her aura, this fight was over.
The dark-haired one filled with yin struck the shape of her aura with a kunai, but that mattered little. She let the lifeless thing stick in her battle-aura just to drive home the point that they couldn't hurt her that way.
Then the forward progress of her aura was stopped as a ribbon of black cloth, whipped out and around her, holding her still.
Kakashi watched as the so-called witch's ribbon came out of nowhere, wrapping about the fiery figure. Soon after that became visible, its wielder faded into view, standing at the edge of the valley beyond the closing fog.
He took his opportunity there.
The priestess had corrected Ryoko's labeling of dragon and dark chi to yin and yang, and what he was seeing here, if he had to guess from other bits of information was an expression of pure yang.
That meant he had a way to deal with it.
The copy-cat ninja ran through a small series of hand-signs as Sasuke started to thrust forward.
The fog in the area, thick with the dark-haired woman's yin, came together into a wash of water that flowed over the energy shape, bringing the bulk of that yin downward and destroying the form even before Sasuke could reach it.
In the valley beyond, the dark-haired woman started dancing, and the fog pushed outward again.
Sasuke started to move to challenge her, kunai in hand.
"Stop, let her dance," Kakashi said.
"Sensei?" Sasuke asked, confused. "Our mission is to stop her."
"Our mission is to stop the witch harassing this village," Kakashi said. "She's not the witch. That's not her."
Luta Beia gasped and fell back as the masked shinobi brought the yin forming the break in her prison forward. She'd never have thought that a chakra user would think of such a thing, to use the pre-established flows of a chi-master against them.
To make matters worse, as she pulled herself to her feet, the sound of cracking and splintering crystal brought her eyes to the jeweled egg that was the seal's physical form.
This wasn't unusual, but she'd thought the shinobi had already dealt with the witch, given the way that the fog was rolling back and they were just standing there. How had the woman still had power to interfere with her?
And then still able to thrust at the gates of her prison.
Luta Beia felt the sweat pouring down her face as the cracks in the seal came quicker and louder, realizing that she had no energy with which to stop it just now.
She was going to break out.
That outsider queen was going to break out of her prison.
If that woman got out, there'd be fewer controls on Herb.
She'd be a pariah.
A female given a simple task of maintaining the prison of a blinded foreigner aristocrat.
Graced with a life outside the heavy patriarchy of the Musk society.
And now, they were going to drag her back to that hell.
No, she couldn't let this happen.
The prison seal shattered as the sound of thunder resounded around the village, bringing rain down every outside the bounds of the hill itself.
"I…I don't know," Naruto said as he held the girl in his arms.
Kakashi walked over as fog continued to spread out and he heard the sound of thunder in the sky above. Ryoko was unconscious and breathing with a raspy sound that didn't sound her superior did not like.
"Lay her on the ground, gently," Kakashi told Naruto.
The blonde-haired ninja did so and stood up as Kakashi bent down to check Ryoko over.
He'd been practically useless, hadn't even tried to be useful actually.
Kakashi-sensei had destroyed that thing. Sasuke had managed to hit with a kunai. Ryoko had tried to kick before it walked through her and even the witch, who was supposed to be an enemy, had managed to immobilize it.
All he'd managed to do was catch Ryoko as she fell.
A sudden crash of thunder was followed by a downpour of rain washed over the scene and the supposed witch stopped dancing to sit down on the ground, taking in deep breaths.
Kakashi looked toward the house that sat within the valley that was now back were it should have been and lifted Ryoko up.
"Let's get inside out of the rain," he said.
Sasuke nodded from where he sat watching the woman that had started out their enemy.
It took only moments to reach the house and walk inside. It was, at one time, a rich and elegant, but had, over the years become more than a little rundown if the first room was anything to judge by.
Kakashi was lying Ryoko down on the table when a nervous figure appeared in one the doorways leading into the rest of the house. The figure was a girl, probably somewhere between fourteen and sixteen. She dressed similarly to the villagers on the hill, but was thoroughly patched and repaired. It was, in fact similarly tattered as the robes worn by the dark-haired woman.
"Oh dear," she said. "More guests. I'm not sure how much room we have left. Uh…where's Kodachi-sama?"
"The witch?" Naruto asked. "I think she's still out there in the rain."
Soon after he spoke, a stick smacked into the back of his head.
"Oww!" the blonde snapped out. "What the hell was that for?"
Eyes turned around to see the woman, Kodachi apparently, walking carefully through the door, hair down in front of her face.
"Kodachi-sama!" the girl said, moving forward to the woman's side. "Were you…"
The dark-haired woman gave the girl a thumbs up sign as the girl moved to her side and took her arm, leading her to the table.
"Really…it's…over?" the girl asked as the other woman turned her head toward where Ryoko lay.
This was responded with a shaking head and then a series of other gestures that seemed
"Yes, ma'am, paper, pen and medicines. I'll get some right away," the girl said cheerfully before disappearing back into the house. "Oh! Everyone will be so happy that we're back in the world!"
"Are you a healer?" Kakashi asked the woman that was now also checking Ryoko out.
The gesture that followed was a wavery sort of hand gesture that more or less said "so-so." Then she indicated the door that the girl had left through and gave a thumbs up sign.
Impatience and stress getting to him, Naruto marched over to the woman and moved to get into her face.
"What's with all the hand signs," he demanded. "Why don't you just talk?"
"Here's the paper and pen, Kodachi-sama," the returning girl said as she brought a small pile of papers to her mistress's side.
The dark-haired woman took a paper and the pen and jagged writing three words across the sheet in large letters before handing it to Naruto.
"Because I can't!"
Naruto flushed brightly as he read the paper and then backed off as the woman started handing Kakashi and the girl papers with questions and statements on them.
The headman opened the door to see the form of his village's priestess. A pointed tip peeked out of disorderly mass of orange hair that usually hid the features that marked her as a Musk.
"Priestess Luta Beia," the man said, confused and worried to see the woman showing up looking as if she'd been through a battle and lost. "What's the matter."
"I'm afraid the prison's been broken," the woman said.
"What! We'll have to raise the village," the headmen declared, starting to go back into his house.
He was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He was turned about to see Luta looking up at him with glowing eyes and a steam flowing out of her mouth.
"I was thinking you'd help in another way," she said with a hungry tone of voice.
The house the dark-haired woman lived in was built for a small family, but it was currently housing fifteen men and women who had "vanished" at different points over the past six years.
The ones that had been there the longest were travelers that had wandered into the valley on the first nights Kodachi had been trying to break out. Back then she'd been unsuccessful even without interference. Some of the others were villagers that had been trapped with her when their interference had stopped her from being successful.
Not all the missing people had been victim to that fiery thing outside.
Sasuke considered this as he, Naruto and Kakashi sped away from it through the rain back towards the village, his thoughts drifting back towards what they were told in the house.
"Neither the girl child nor I am fit for fighting yet," the girl-servant read from her note, word for word. "I shall need some time to recover from this night's sorcery and she is healing fast with Mokya's treatment and the yin, but you need to go now, before too much can happen."
At the mention of the name, the girl bowed herself.
"How strong is she?" Kakashi asked.
"From what you said she is a false master, and reckless," Mokya said, reading from another note. "But I would call her an A-rank mission. She is dangerous, but her power is an illusion and fragile. The chi doesn't want to do what she makes it do."
"Seriously, the woman has become a monster," Mokya read. "The villagers may have already been primed by her to feed her strength, you must go now if you wish to save them as your mission states. I will come when your friend is ready to join the fight. And with such overwhelming forces against her she is doomed."
Mokya cleared her throat politely and took a deep breath.
"OHHHHHH-HOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" she cackled out with a shrill, high-pitched tone. Then she turned toward Kodachi and continued in a much more polite tone of voice. "Is that a good laugh, Kodachi-sama?"
The silent woman raised her hand into a thumb's up sign as the three ninja looked toward Mokya cautiously.
"Oh, yes, if she grabs you, keep your mouth closed," Mokya read from a last note.
The crowd of villagers streaming down the hill was as clear an indicator that the priestess had dropped her civil act as anything else. Naruto landed among some of the few that had stopped to stare up at the sight of their village, resplendent in the dark of the night as if the sun had already risen to shine on it.
"Is that priestess up there?" Naruto asked.
"She's gone crazy," one of the villagers declared. "Killing everyone she meets."
"Not for long she isn't," Naruto declared, before charging up the slope of the hill.
The other shinobi had already leapt ahead of Naruto and landed in the center of the village, buildings glowing brightly in lines of power. Ashes swirled on the winds that wouldn't settle in the center of which was the jailer-priestess.
The orange hair flowed on the wind, glowing with a brilliant light that radiated out from her. The eyes shined brilliantly gold as a similarly colored mist breathed out of her frowning mouth.
"You," she said. "You were brought here to eliminate her, not free her."
"I believe the mission was to eliminate a witch," Kakashi declared.
Sasuke squinted against the brightness of the surroundings, feeling the oppressive energy more than Kakashi did. He remembered Ryoko's warnings earlier that the woman's shrine would be dangerous for him, had the entire village become like that shrine?
Whatever, he had a job to do.
The young ninja tossed a salvo of kunai outward as he rushed forward, another kunai in hand. Kakashi moving with him into the attack.
The witch waved a hand, and a golden wave of visible energy washed outward to brush aside the kunai. Several other such waves accompanied each of her blocks as he tried to strike in at her.
The witch leaped upward to avoid being swallowed down into the ground and helpless. As she leaped up, the priestess thrust her arms outward and the chi struck out toward the jonin in a wave of golden fire.
Kakashi leaped into the air above and rained a barrage of blows on the woman driving her back down towards the ground.
"Shinobi, you don't know what I am," the priestess declared. "I am of the Musk Dynasty, for thousands of years we've subjugated the strongest beasts and martial artists and brought them into our bloodlines. We're the perfect warriors."
As she finished her declaration she slashed out with a kick as Kakashi landed, impacting with Kakashi's arm as he blocked the attack with a grunt, a burst of golden power accompanying the impact.
Between Kakashi and Sasuke, the woman was forced to spend more time and energy in defense, but she was holding her own. Golden arcs of energy streamed past her arms and legs, intercepting fists, legs and kunai as she struck outward with lances of the same covering her hands.
Sasuke grimaced as he blocked another blow and it felt more like intercepting an iron bar than a human hand. The woman was growing progressively stronger and faster, it seemed, rather than weaker. Every so often, he had flashes of seeing her body filled with energy which was trying to go in every direction but the way it was going.
"Feeling strained?" the woman asked Sasuke.
"I think you'll find that I have enough to beat you," Sasuke noted.
"Do you really?" the woman asked as she twisted into open palmed strike into Kakashi's chest.
The masked ninja rolled backwards, impact throwing him across the street.
The victorious expression on the woman's face was short-lived as the jonin vanished into a puff of smoke, leaving empty air.
Her concentration slipping, the woman failed to notice as Sasuke slammed a kunai into her back.
The Uchiha expected the woman to crumple to the ground from the strike after Naruto's henged clone had been dispersed. Instead, her face flashed with anger and she whipped about to grab the young man.
In his surprise, Sasuke forgot the warning about closing his mouth.
The flush of energy tore through him in a burning torrent of blue light out of his mouth and into the woman's.
Almost the same time, the woman screamed and backed away from Sasuke, letting him go.
The young shinobi dropped to his knees, coughing as the woman he was fighting screamed in combined pain and rage.
"Yin balanced imp!" she shrieked charging forward.
Her attack was stopped however, as she turned to deal with the arrival of Naruto and several clones.
"You okay, Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"I'm fine," Sasuke said, catching his breath. "Keep your eyes on her."
He tried to come to his feet and back to the fight with Naruto's clones when the woman screamed.
Kakashi fixed his attention back to the structures ahead of him. He was wishing at the moment that he had a Hyuuga with him. He had a feeling they'd be able to more easily see the places where the flows of energy were twisted.
For his part, he had to look very carefully, at least at first. It was like looking for a heat wave in the summer, looking too directly made it vanish.
An enraged scream drew his eyes toward the center of town where he could see Naruto and Sasuke's chakra swirling in battle. In the distance, he could see a glimmer of light as the sun struggled to shine.
He'd have to finish with his task quickly, he wasn't certain Naruto and Sasuke would be able to keep her busy much longer. .
Just as well that it looked like he was almost finished.
Naruto landed in a crouch as his clones were blown away by the force of the woman's scream. Some of his clones failed to land properly and disrupted in smoke as they hit various buildings or obstacles.
Gritting his teeth along with several of his clones, Naruto threw himself back into the battle.
With each motion the woman either dispersed one of his clones or struck him and it was still as if she was growing stronger than weaker. A growl started to work its way out of his throat and he barely dodged a golden wreathed strike before lashing outward, fingers curled unconsciously like claws.
It was like the burning anger and rage filling the area was leaking into him as well, and it was drawing something out.
His yin-balance had kept him from most of the immediate consequences of Luta Beia's attempt to devour it, but now the world started to grow more indistinct around him.
Sasuke didn't have the knowledge to understand what was happening. It wasn't normally something that would be a problem, but Luta Beia's sorcery had warped the area to be unnaturally devoid of yin, and he was yin-balanced.
It hadn't been so bad before, when most of the flow-shaping magic had been restricted to the Musk women's shrine. He hadn't even noticed compared to Ryoko who immediately felt uncomfortable in the village.
Even while fighting in the village now, until the sudden destruction of most of the chi in him, it was like slowly running out of breath, a vaguely noticeable strain. Then the attack had come like an over-enthusiastic friend striking you on the back while you were swimming, a shock that brought with it a mouthful of water.
The trickle of yang he unconsciously allowed through was enough to keep him alive, but not much more.
"Sasuke! Look out!" Naruto yelled out.
The Uchiha could only vaguely see the glowing form of the woman charging out toward him. He tried again to stand and either meet the attack or roll out of the way, but his body wouldn't seem to listen to him.
Then Naruto was in the way, surrounded by a reddish glow and taking the witch-priestess's blow before she could reach Sasuke, his feet digging a furrow into the ground behind his motion as his teeth stood out sharply in an open mouthed grimace.
"What's this you carry, poisoning the chi, brat?" the priestess demanded as she and Naruto leaned against each other. "You think to match a demon's might against the power of the Musk?"
"You aren't hurting anymore of my friends!" Naruto declared in almost a roar.
The reddish energy around him blasted outward sending both himself and the priestess flying backwards.
Naruto landed easily, but was finding it harder to focus on anything in particular. He was filled with a rage he was only barely able to contain. Before he'd directed it at the priestess, but now, after that conflict, he had to bend all his will inward to keep himself controlled.
Untrained in the efforts of keeping the kyuubi locked, he couldn't yet recognize the sensation of it trying to escape, nor completely direct his will at something he didn't know the cause of.
The combination left him more or less paralyzed for the moment.
The priestess landed hard, fangs showing like a wild animal as she gripped out with hands and feet and slowly drew herself up. The injuries she'd taken fighting Sasuke were growing harder to ignore, and now it looked as if she'd have to deal with a demon's chakra as well.
Still, her preparations were running strong and the sun would soon be rising. Then the power she had available to her would be at its strongest. Meanwhile, these two were nearing the end of what they could do, and their master had yet to make an appearance.
Luta stalked forward, eyes narrowing like the various animals that her Musk-blood descended from, scanning from Sasuke breathing hard to the crouched, similarly animalistic Naruto.
Her decision to attack was interrupted as a figure dropped into the scene of the fight, carrying with her a weak strand of the yin filling the dark clouds and somberly falling rain beyond the bounds of the village.
"You!" Luta roared angrily as she took in Kodachi taking a comfortable stance in the middle of the village.
A moment later, Ryoko landed at her side, bokken not in hand.
With a simple movement, a soft wash of darkness rippled outward from Kodachi, replacing the glaring, unnatural golden glow with the soft tones of early morning under soft, dark clouds. At the edges of the field around the blind-woman, the golden glow was still coruscating, trying to get in according to the will forcing it.
Sasuke blinked, the blinded-woman seemed only to be breathing deeply, but outward from her seemed to radiate a soothing coolness that washed over him like a refreshing blast of air to a suffocating soul.
Off to the side, the wash of purified chi broke the flow of hatred and rage that fed the Kyuubi's attempts to break free and the demonic chakra subsided, letting Naruto focus again on the fight outside his body.
Sasuke and Naruto moved up beside Ryoko, facing the priestess.
"You self-trained witch," Luta said, pushing into the region of darkness about Kodachi, pulling with her veins of golden energy that tried to eat away at the soothing shell. "You think you can beat me in my own domain?"
"That's what we're here for," Naruto said with a smirk as the three young fighters surged forward together, backed by several newly summoned Naruto clones.
The priestess tried to raise a wave of gold chi about herself to block the incoming shots from her attackers. But without the unnatural field of yang about her, the spectacular golden streams following her motions were shattered like glass before Ryoko's more focused channeling.
Systematically destroying the waves of golden chi as they appeared required Ryoko to be in grappling range rather than the boxing range she preferred to fight from. It meant that she wasn't quite fast enough to use the openings she created, the priestess's hands and limbs still had time to intercept her slightly less graceful movements in that range. However, that was not the point and Naruto and Sasuke were quick to catch on.
Without her chi to extend her blocks, the priestess had to depend only on direct parries, blocks and dodges. Even as insanely fast and strong as she was now, she couldn't take an offensive from all three fighters without receiving some blows.
After several rounds of battle, the Musk growled as she finally found an opening in Ryoko's form to punt the girl away. That action giving Luta Beia the opportunity to re-establish her defenses and likewise toss Naruto and Sasuke back.
All three landed easily with little harm some yards apart from both each other and the Musk, and they watched as, with a motion that seemed to represent a mountainous strain, she heaved the yang about her to rush into the region of yin held by Kodachi.
The blind-woman shuddered momentarily as the yang rolled over her, but otherwise seemed to stand straight and firm in contrast to the heaving, weary, golden glowing form of their adversary.
She was bleeding from many wounds that each would have been fatal if she hadn't been keeping herself fortified with the chi about her.
"Ha! You thought you'd beaten me, witch?" the priestess shouted, more a demon herself now. "In a moment the sun is finished rising, and the flow of yang available to me is twenty fold what it has been to now. Enough chi to heal these pricks. Enough chi to move with the speed of thought and the strength of a volcano. In this place, I can destroy Saffron, much less you!"
Kodachi merely shook her head calmly, as if to say the woman was wrong.
Laughing the priestess turned toward Ryoko and the ninja.
"A blind, tongueless witch, a yin-balanced whelp, a demon-tainted brat and a half-apprenticed chi-adept," she taunted. "You think you can stop me when your jonin has already fled? You children?"
"S…sumimasen…" Ryoko said, moving forward carefully. "I…I wish you did not have to be defeated by…s..such pitiful opponents as…us, b..but we are what is here."
"Saotome…you'll die first!" the woman roared as she charged forward, hands extended like claws.
Ryoko prepared herself to defend, satisfied that her Buzzing of Hornets worked so well. Naruto and Sasuke each had clear openings on the woman's back now, as did Kodachi. And she could handle a round of attacks from the priestess.
She hoped.
Then she was being carried away from her position and deposited atop a building some yards away, the priestess below growling in frustration as she looked up at where Kakashi stood beside Ryoko.
"I don't think you could say I fled, miss," Kakashi said casually uncovering his left eye. "Sorry if it felt like that, but I had a job to do."
"And what could you have been doing all this time while leaving these brats to fight me?" the woman raged as she leaped away to another building to get away from Naruto and Sasuke's attack.
"I think that'll be obvious," Kakashi said casually as he leaped to the building the priestess perched on. "I think you all might be better to leave this fight to me from here."
Snarling the priestess charged in to attack the ninja. She slashed out with one knife hand to the throat, blocked as a kunai deflected the hard chi surrounding the hand. That was followed fractions of a second later by an elbow that was directed cleanly missed a dodging head, and then a hand stand kick that was caught solidly as the kunai slashed a line across her abdomen and she was pushed over the side of the building back to the ground.
Standing up and clutching at her stomach as she started to direct chi to heal and refresh her body, she backed away as Kakashi leaped down casually and then entered a stance.
"I see why she said your power was a fragile illusion," Kakashi said, provoking the woman into another string of fruitless attacks. "All that spectacular light show is what you can't control. Your 'power' telegraphs your intent, and it makes your speed and strength worthless."
As he spoke he blocked or evaded each of her strikes without giving up his position, ending the exchange with another unanswered kunai slash that dug deep into her arm pit.
The priestess backed away as she forcibly healed the wound, the more she fought, the more energy she had to use to repair herself. The more energy she needed, and the more that energy threatened to consume her. It was lucky she had a day after this to settle the vicious spiral down before night fell and her she was left with the damned flows of her domain drained.
Still, at the moment, she was almost as much chi as she was flesh. She should have been moving faster than any one opponent. Against the three brats, with Kodachi dampening the yang, she could understand her troubles. But in her element against this one man...and she couldn't return even one strike?
"I can do this all day, can you?" she asked bitterly.
"Probably but I don't have to," he said, blocking another exchange and focusing his chakra into his fist to shatter a wave of golden chi intending to block his strike.
The priestess stumbled back, trying to bend her nose back into position.
"And what makes you think you can outlast me?" she demanded.
A burst of fire further in the village drew her eyes as it was immediately followed by another.
"Oh, that," Kakashi said with a hidden smirk.
Luta Beia watched as each carefully crafted points of control in the area exploded one after another.
Every chi mirror.
Every physical channel.
With each small explosion she could feel the flows of yang diminishing around her.
And then the shrine exploded inward as smoke flew from almost everywhere in the village. Some few of her preparations were obviously still intact, but the network she had made over the last four years was ravaged.
Above her, the sound of thunder announced the last burst of chi as dark clouds flooded in above the village and yin returned in the form of a heavy downpour of rain.
"NOOOO!" the woman growled as she collapsed to her knees, seeming to whither before their eyes. "You haven't won, outsider! You still…can't have…your family…He doesn't exist anymore…and if you try to find Herb….your son suffers."
She tried to laugh at those last barbs, but soon her throat and body were nothing more than wet ash, washing away in the rain.
Naruto looked down at the pile and then looked toward the blind-woman, watching her clenched fists and watching her shuddering shoulders.
"Yo, Naruto, Sasuke," Kakashi said. "How many times do I have to say it. Let's get out of the rain."
"Where are you going now?" Kakashi asked Kodachi, sitting across from her in the inn as villagers filtered uneasily back into the buildings at the top of the hill for shelter.
The dark-haired woman shrugged.
Mokya was still at her house and there was no paper to write on anyway.
"Do you have any idea where your family is?"
The woman raised one finger and nodded, then raised a second finger and shook her head.
"I thought there were four people to your family," Kakashi said. "Your husband, sister-in-law and son."
Kodachi gestured for him to repeat himself.
"Husband…"
She raised one finger.
"…sister-in-law…"
The same finger stayed up, but no others were added.
"…and son."
A second finger was added to the first.
"Your husband and sister-in-law are…the same?" Kakashi asked.
This was followed by a nod.
"Do you know how to find the Musk lands?"
Another nod.
"Can you describe it?"
Another nod.
"Would you be interested in hiring a mission?" Kakashi wondered briefly if suggesting this was okay, but there certainly was at least one precedent for an exchange of services.
Kodachi turned toward him and pantomimed an empty purse.
"How are you at teaching?"
Kodachi straightened and cupped her chin in thought.
"So, Ryoko-chan," Naruto said, looking back over his shoulder. "You have a new chi-tutor."
"H..hai," Ryoko said, sighing. "I…I shall h..have no time for helping train Joseibi an..anymore."
She bit her lip.
"That wouldn't be my first concern," Sasuke said.
"Kodachi-sama says that you can be assured of achieving mastery of your chi in short order with her tutoring you," Mokya said behind them.
Said woman snapped briefly, drawing the girl's attention back that way.
"Hmm, Kodachi-sama? Oh..right," Mokya said as she took in the woman's gestures. She cleared her throat and took a deep breath. "For such is the wisdom of the Black Rose. OHHHH-HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"
Mokya cleared her throat again.
"Is there anything else Kodachi-sama?" the girl asked in her normal soft voice.
Sasuke, Ryoko and Naruto blinked at the exchange and then turned back toward the march toward Konoha.
"Ano…" Ryoko sighed.
Kakashi smirked from his position following up the younger kids.
