Warning: The enemy is an original character of mine I've only written bits that I wanted to I've drawn however I felt like it One-sided beating

Those wiry arms... They look as if they'll break any moment.

I'm really luckly, ain't I? I never expected to come across the Leaf village's Spinning Eye of Copying, in a place like this no less.

*huff*

*puff*

A kid should never come out on the battle fields...

But it'd be annoying if you use that trick like you just did, so...

Guh...

That's right. I think I'll cut off your right arm, after all.

Hold still, all right?

Ugh... Ah...

Let go of

Sasuke!!!

It's that squirt from moments ago...

Heh, I'm impressed. I didn't think you could move..

after all that beating!

Guh!

And your shadow mirror image over there!!

Woah!!

Hah!

Oops, forgot about you there.

Urgh...

Graaaaaagh!

Guh!

You're a bit...

noisy, aren't you?

Ugh!

There!!

Ugh!!

Here comes another one!

This will be your last!!

Explosion

A scroll of explosion!? This is bad!!

Run, Naruto!!

Ugh...

Too slow!!

Dammit!

Wow, not bad. But...

This isn't good!!

From this position...

I can't repel it back!!

Come to your senses, you knucklehead!!

Naruto!!

It seems that you've given the kids under my command plenty of good time, huh...

That kid isn't the only one

with the Spinning Eye of Copying, you know...

Leaf village's Spinning Eye of Copying... Then you must be...

The "Imitator" ninja...

-kura...

Sakura...

Hold on! I'm going to clean the wounded areas.

The enemy... She's... after... Sasuke's... eyes... I'm fine... So go and help Sasuke...

Sasuke's with Instructor Kakashi, so he'll be fine!

It might hurt a bit, but bear with me.

Ugh.

Argggh!!

Hey! Perservere!

Sasuke will laugh at you at this rate!!

I'm changing our course. We'll be taking the long way round, but we'll embark from the upper stream where risk is low.

The formation will consist of me, Sakura and Sasuke, and we'll form a single column in that order.

Understood!

I'll cover the front and right, Sakura, you'll cover the left

and Sasuke, you'll cover the rear.

Naruto, you'll stay behind my back no matter what happens.

H-Hey!

Like I told you, you guys can go ahead without me!

Huh? What are you saying...?

I'll be fine! My wounds tend to heal fast, after all!

I'll be able to move without any support by tomorrow, so I can catch up with you guys soon enough!

Don't be stupid!

What if you encounter the enemies?

If that happens, I'll use my shadow mirror images and...

Ah.

Gah!!

S-Sasuke...

W-What the hell are you doing, Sasuke!?

Look, dumbass.

Don't talk nonsense.

I was just trying to get everyone to go back as soon as...

You think you'll be a hindrance? You must be crazy, aren't you?

Wha-

Don't try to be someone you're not, loser.

Now, get your spirits up.

All right, then...

We'll cross the border before nightfall. Let's go.
