Right now Naruto Sasuke and Sakura are running with Tazuna while Choji is trying to keep up with them as they have almost reached the end of the bridge from where they can enter the forest.

"Ice Release: Ice Rock Dome of Magnificent Nothingness" they all heard a voice echo in the mist.

Suddenly a dome of ice mirrors started to form around Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Tazuna. It was made of some huge mirrors of ice, just when the roof of the dome was about the get covered by the ice mirrors Naruto caught Tazuna from his hand and threw him toward the roof where the mirrors were still forming.

*Whoosh* Tazuna passed that area and got out of the dome but he was still in air.

"Choji catch him!!!!!!!!" Naruto shouted from inside.

Choji saw Tazuna flying in the air after he heard Naruto. Choji was lucky as he was outside because of his slow speed. "Partial expansion jutsu" Choji said as he expanded his hand and caught Tazuna in the air and slowly put him down only to discover that he was unconscious.

"You saved him but what about you" Naruto and co. heard the same voice again and saw a person wearing an anbu mask in all the mirrors.

"What the.." Naruto said.

"This is my clan's secret jutsu"

"Ice style, my kekkei genkai" Haku announced.

"Ice style?" Sasuke thought as he activated his Sharingan.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other side *clag * Kakashi's kunai and zabuza's sword clashed with each other. "You are strong indeed Kakashi" Zabuza said.

"Same goes for you" Kakashi said as he tried to kick him but Zabuza blocked it with his hand and pushed him away.

Zabuza started to make some signs while Kakashi also made the same signs "Water style: water dragon jutsu" both Zabuza and Kakashi said at the same time and a huge amount o water rose up from the two sides of the bridge and formed the shape of a dragon and both collided with each other making a little rain.

"Why you copycat" Zabuza said and then made a sign and said "Hidden mist jutsu". And the whole area was getting covered by very thick mist.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other side the battle was going between Asuma and Kisame while Shikamaru was trying to catch him into his shadow possession but he was not able to do that till now.

"Nice blades you got there but" Kisame said as he dodged Asuma's chakra blade and took out his sword and purposely hit it on his blades.

*Swoosh *

The chakra from the chakra blades disappeared as samehada absorbed its chakra while the white tapes from it got cut off revealing the shark skin samehada.

"What!!!!" Asuma got shocked to his extreme.

At this moment the mist got so much thick that it was barely able for everyone to see and even Shikamaru could make his shadows due to the lack of light. (Damn it!!!!!!!!!!!) Shikamaru cursed in his mind.

Taking this change Kisame hid in the mist as he had samehada with him he was able to detect his enemies' conditions even like this.

Tan flashed from the bridge and appeared in the room in Tazuna's house.

"Agh!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tan heard a scream. "MOM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Tan heard Inari shout so he quickly got out of the room and went downstairs to see that two men were carrying Inari's mom on their shoulder while Inari is running and shouting behind them and being frustrated from him one of them lifts up his sword to attack him and just when the sword is 5 cm away from him Inari suddenly disappears and reappears in the arms of Saito Tan in front of the house gate.

"Tan you" Inari said as Tan put him down and then took out his sword ran directly towards those two who threw Inari's mom aside and took out their swords out to face him. Tan approaches them and collides his sword with the one of those two starts to apply chakra due to which his sword cuts his opponents swords like butter.

"Huh??!!!!" they both exclaimed as they saw their swords being cut as butter.

Then Tan embedded his sword into the ground and concentrated chakra in his hand and punched both of them which made them fly and crash in a tree. Then he picks Inari's mom up and unties her and ties both of the bandits with ropes and takes Inari's mom inside the house.

"Thank you Tan" Inari said as he bowed his head but tan stopped him.

"If you had been a little late-" Inari said as he started crying.

(Here comes my favorite line) tan thought and said "You know hero arrives at the last moment" and flashed away from the spot leaving an amazed Inari behind.

On the bridge Haku is in the mirrors and is continuously attacking Naruto and co. with needles while they all are trying to defend themselves with kunai but was not able to deflect some of them due to which they are all bruised up.

"Sasuke use a fire style to melt these ice blocks" Naruto instructed and Sasuke too nodded.

Sasuke made some signs and said "Fire style great fire ball jutsu" and unleashed a huge fire ball on the ice blocks which created a lot of steam.

"What??!!" Naruto and others exclaimed as they saw that the mirrors were already starting to heal and were as new as before in just 5 seconds of time.

"Now it's my turn" Haku said as he appeared in all the mirrors at the same time and pulled out 2 needles in each hand and threw them as the mirrors shined.

"Earth style: dome jutsu" ~
