After all, sleeping in a real bed after those three days hitting the road surely made a huge difference at the mood of anyone. The group reached a small town after the tedious travel. It was even funny how pretty much nothing happened these days, Nana wondered. At least she was now closer to Karin. The boys, bleh, they were still not much open to conversations. Terumi-sensei had that enigmatic aura around her, but at least she reserved some time to chat with her pupils, to know them more. Nana was starting to like her.<br/><br/>After a modest breakfast at a local shop, the group was on the road again. This was the part Nana had more fun. She never traveled so far into Kirigakure, and it was delightful to meet new places. It was with a childlike excitement that she walked past the set of bridges that connected the village to the rest of the land. When they reached the last one, Karin nudged her and asked:<em><strong>"Can you see this, Nana-chan?  I've never seen this much water before!  It's almost unnatural!"</strong></em><br/><br/><strong>"It's amazing!"</strong>that was all that the blonde could say, marveled. Terumi-sensei joined them and made a comment:<em><strong>"Yes, it is quite impressive isn't it... you know they build the mighty bridges so that they could even hold the weight of the mighty Saiken."</strong></em><br/><br/>Nana looked at her with widen eyes:<strong>"Really? It's good to know that. At least we know there's no way this bridge would colapse under our feet. I mean... This is very old, no?"</strong><br/><br/>When the blonde finished her comment, ten cloaked figure emerged form the mists. Their faces covered by masks with numbers written in red caught Nana's attention. The ninjas numbered 7 and 2 surrounded the girl. Number 2 had a huge and deadly sword and Number 7 had some sort of gauntlets, probably capable to focus chakra to enhance his strength. Nana fought against enemies who used this sort of weapon. And they didn't win. She heard one of the cloaked figures threatening Terumi-sensei:<em><strong>"You're outnumbered, woman.  You had your chance to join the Bloody Mist, but ignoring that signed your death warrant.  None of you will make it off this bridge alive."</strong></em><br/><br/>Terumi-sensei shouted at her students:<em><strong>"Alright, I'm confident you four can handle the situation. Consider this a test and I'll be observing your performance, individually and as a team. Make me proud."</strong></em><br/><br/>Exactly what Nana wanted to hear. Number 2 and 7 advanced to attack her. The blonde threw a smoke bomb down. Her two enemies didn't stop or changed tactics, as they were close enough to successfully attack Nana. It didn't matter how fast she was, she couldn't evade their blows, coming from each side.<br/><br/><strong>"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"</strong><br/><br/>That was all that they heard, just in the nick of time before the blade of Number 2 and the fists from Number 7 reached the place covered in smoke where Nana was standing a second ago. Their attacks connected, but something was wrong. Number 2 had his sword stopped and he couldn't move it anymore. Number 3 had the sensation of punching a solid rock. When the smoke faded, they grunted in surprise.<br/><br/>There were two Nanas now. One was holding the blade of Number 2 with the palm of her hands. The other Nana had her fist bumping Number 7' gauntlet. It looked like she punched him with the same strength, exactly on his fist.<em><strong>"H-How?"</strong></em>that was all what he could mutter. Both Nanas smirked. The one facing Number 7 said:<strong>"Above you."</strong><br/><br/><em><strong>"Careful!!"</strong></em>said Number 2, acknowledging her plan.<br/><br/>The cloaked ninja with the number 7 looked up and before he could evade, the Nana facing him took advantage of his distraction and got a hold of his arm, pushing him towards her and exposing his back for the upcoming attack. Coming from above, another Nanase was ready to finish him off with a glowing ball of pure energy on her right hand.<br/><br/><strong>"RASENGAN!!"</strong><br/><br/>Naruto's most famous attack hit the cloaked ninja on his back. The man got pinned against the floor by the strength of the technique, even creating a small crater around him. But Nana made sure she wouldn't use so much chakra on that Rasengan. The man was just knocked out.<br/><br/>One down, one left.<br/><br/>While Number 2 looked at the tragic end of his accomplice, the Nana holding his sword put the blade aside and advanced to attack him with a punch. But he wasn't caught off guard completely, and avoided her, putting some distance between them. Quickly, the other two Nanas joined the fight. Now he had to fight against three heavy taijutsu users. Nonetheless, he just gave a mockering laugh.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Come on. I fought much more than three little girls at once."</strong></em><br/><br/><strong>"SHANNAROOO!!" </strong><br/><br/>The three blondes advanced at him with full power. Soon Number 2 realized he asked for much more he could endure. Nana's chakra was split between her clones and so was her strength, since it came from her control of chakra. But her taijutsu level had tripled. She had a level of synchronization and coordination between her attacks and the ones from her clones that easily surpassed groups of ninjas whom spent an entire lifetime fighting together. All of the Nanas knew exactly what to do, where to attack, as they were just a single mind. And indeed they were. They all were Uzumaki Nanase.<br/><br/>After put a good fight, Number 2 got cornered, and finally defeated. He used a jutsu to create a wider area of attack with his sword, but one of the shadow clones sacrificed herself to finally separate the man from his sword. From there, Nana easily knocked him out. With the man unconscious beneath her feet, Nana bumped fists with her clone:<strong>"We're awesome, dattebane!"</strong><br/><br/>Nonetheless, the blonde didn't forget about her teammates. She glanced around, trying to see past the mist. Tsuneo and Takeshi seemed to be ok. She looked for Karin-chan, getting ready to come for her aid if needed be.<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Shannaro: A word Sakura from Naruto always shouts out when she's pissed or extremely excited.
