Chapter 14: Charge of a Swordsman!
"Huh?" Is Ameyuri reaction and response to this red hair woman? Who randomly came up to her and demanding something, that seemed a little ludicrous even by her standards? The female swordsman raised an arm and stuck one finger. Into her left ear, rubbing out any wax that might have made her mishearing things.
"Can you repeat what you said miss? I might have heard you wrong, something about…?" Ameyuri hold the sentence out for a bit. As she watches the red hair woman blinking her eyes, as well as still pointing to her. The woman, who is Kushina, chuckled bashfully and brought her hand behind her head.
Kushina then shook her head a bit, and stared at Ameyuri. Still holding onto her grin as she thumb too herself. "Okay but only repeat myself one last time", she stated as Ameyuri pursed her lips to the right a bit and watch Kushina situated herself.
"Ameyuri Ringo, my name is Kushina Uzumaki. The Uzukage of Uzushiogakure in the land of waters. Hear by request your expertise and skills in kenjutsu, to live and be among those who reside in Uzushiogakure!" announced Kushina.
Ameyuri, who just sat there in her chair and stared at Kushina like she grown a second head. Requested in the shape and form of demanding that, she herself should go and join her village? A village that supposedly been lost ever since the ninja war… How is it possible that the whirlpool village? Got reconstructed under the five great nations noses?
Despite all that though she will admit, this woman is pretty bold. Too demand something like joining her village. Had Ameyuri laughing that caused the woman in front of her too raise an eyebrow at this reaction? All the while resting her hand too her side. Waiting for the swordsman to calm down and explain why she is laughing?
Once Ameyuri calmed down and wiping away a few strains of tears. She closed both eyes and then open one up, looking towards the now confused Kushina. "Are you pulling my leg? Uzushiogakure village perished during the ninja wars. What makes you so sure, that the village has return back to its glory?" Ameyuri questioned while demanding for answers.
This had Kushina blinking her violet eyes a bit, all the while taking a few steps back. She then looked up in thought of how should she explained that Uzushiogakure? Did come back to its former glory? "Oh boy wasn't expecting this?" Kushina thought with slight panic. This is definitely an obstacle she wasn't expecting?
"Easy Kushina, just calm down and don't get too excited. Just explain the best you can to her, and see what happens. If she refuses to join then keep on persuading her!" Kushinafinished with those thoughts. As she closes her eyes and calmly breathed out any tension that is building up in her body.
Once she felt calm Kushina open both eyes and look to Ameyuri, who is drumming her fingers against her crossed arms. Waiting for the red hair woman to start explaining how Uzushiogakure returned from the ashes? "That is true about Uzushiogakure perished during the great ninja war. As well everyone there had gone and perished." Kushina started getting some stares from the bystanders and Ameyuri herself.
Still impatiently waiting for Kushina's point, which then watched? The mother glared playfully while thumbing to herself. "I should know on the account, I am or…thought", Kushina quickly said, scratching her cheek a bit. Chuckling nervously "I was the last of the Uzumaki's, but that isn't the point right now!" she then stared at Ameyuri all the while resting both hands onto the table.
Smiling as well feeling giddy of succeeding, too get another one of the seven swordsmen. Too join the newly built Uzushiogakure as well increasing their defenses some more. Even probably train future ninja's in the way of using Kenjutsu! "Yeah that will definitely be a plus! Much Zabuza is good, Ameyuri drive and relentlessness in her kenjutsu style. Definitely help bring out those who are nervous or unsure of their selves out of their shell." Kushina thought to herself.
"Are you done talking to an imaginary friend yet? Or are you going to keep avoiding my question tomato face?" Ameyuri asked, with a sneer as well drumming her fingers faster against both arms.
The little remark Ameyuri made to Kushina, caused the Uzumaki female to twitch her brows a bit. One thing to make fun of her thinking and staring out in space…no one, but no one! Makes fun of the color of her hair! Kushina can feel her anger rising up inside.
"I…am sorry I didn't quite hear that?" Kushina asked with small sarcasm. She then gently places both hands together and breathed in heavily. Trying to calm her nerves down as well as sensing Usari starting to panic behind her. Considering Kushina had explained to Haku's mother, that she loses her temper.
When somebody makes fun of her hair? She really loses her temper! "What did you call me?" Kushina asked with a not so innocent smile. Making Ameyuri to snicker with a shake of her head, showing her shark like fangs.
"Oh I think you had heard me quite clearly red head." Ameyuri then growled. "Get to your point of HOW the hell, Uzushiogakure got rebuilt. Before you start boring me to death!" she yelled out while standing up from her chair. Glaring hard at the raging mother whose temper is reaching breaking point.
Kushina balled up her hands and then relaxed them. She then started doing some light breathing, to cool down a bit and clasp her hands together. "I was getting there!" snapped Kushina getting frustrating with this conversation already and just wants to get this over with.
"Blah-blah-blah, history and all that junk about ninja wars and whatnot", Kushina stated quickly while waving her hands in a non-manner and rolling her eyes. She then flicked her hands forward at Ameyuri who gave an uninterested yawn. Causing Kushina to visibly shake her arms and tightly closing her hands into fists once more.
"BOTTOM line is that the people and ninjas, who lives in the Mist village. Rally all together ninja's, civilians and even blood line users. Too work and rebuild the once bloody mist village, into the new Uzushiogakure. Even swordsmen ninja are also welcome without needing the fear of being killed or hunted down like wild animals!" Kushina explained in all one breath.
Ameyuri, who listened to this strange woman's explanation? Felt like there is something wrong with what's given to her? "The bloody Mist village that is notorious for their excessive way of graduating new ninja? Or will never allow themselves to invite Kekkei Genkai users, or changing their entire village name. Too a village that perished a long time ago." thought Ameyuri too herself.
The swordswoman just stared openly at Kushina. Staring and analyzing any hint of the red head lying to her or not? But no…all she can see behind those confident and somewhat frustrated look in those blue eyes. Is that she is telling the truth about Mist village, becoming the new Uzushiogakure!
"This topic definitely got more interesting. But how can I be sure that she is serious?" Ameyuri stood up from her seat and leans forward a bit. Resting her hands onto the table as the populace around them, had finally left the four ninja's alone. Figuring the conversation between the two is getting boring.
After standing up and being about one foot shorter than Kushina. The swordswoman leered deeply at the Uzumaki female who leered back with a smirk. Wondering if she finally gotten through to her and is about to accept her offer of joining their village.
"Looks like you have finally come to my terms? Are you ready to come back with my friends and I too our home? We could use somebody of your skill level, to help protect and fight back any intruders who dare-", Kushina never gotten to finish her sentence. She let out a sudden grunt of pain and got pushed back, from Ameyuri punching her in the got. With enough force to make Kushina slide backwards and into Usari and Kurra arms.
In which had those two wincing their eyes from the sheer force. All three of them sliding to a stop and then kneeling down to the ground. With Kurra patting and rubbing Kushina' back, watching the mother trying her best. Too get some air back into her lungs as she lifted her head up towards the towering Ameyuri.
Usari, after checking over Kushina's condition got up and walked in front of Kurra and Kushina. Bringing out her senbon between her fingers, getting poise for any type of attacks. All four of them can feel the wind blowing against their skins and hair. Waiting for the signs, that they will be getting attack by this ninja…
"I…take that as a no?" Kushina wheezed out. Feeling the air going back into her lungs, waiting for whatever Ameyuri decisions or actions she might pull of. Watching her friend Usari getting a bit antsy and worried…which Kushina can relate.
The seven swordsmen are very dangerous people to fight up against. Considering not are they skilled in Kenjutsu, they're swords also have special properties hidden inside of them. Even Ameyuri's own two Kiba swords…
Ameyuri from what Kushina had research and study in the Hidden Mists old archives? Specializes in the element of lightning and can easily direct and guide raw lightning strikes. With just by moving one sword up into the sky, and with her other sword? She can easily point in any directions of where the lightning will shoot out from.
Add in her one major factor of chasing her enemies down, until they die? Makes her very dangerous and has earned that S rank threat level.
"I don't know what kind of insane asylum you broken out of, or what medications you have been taking?" Ameyuri started and then snickered. At how Kushina literately tried to thrash her way forward, shouting profanity at the swordswoman. Only too be held back by her two guards, making this even more interesting for Ameyuri.
Only for Ameyuri to get serious once more and raised her kill intent really high. Causing Kurra and Usari to visibly shake in front of her…but not Kushina? "My…she is definitely an interesting one. Almost makes me feel sorry, for not saying yes…OH well."
The swordswoman then lean forward, to get a good look at her probably future hunting pet. Making Kushina to growl out dangerously at her, only for her threatening growl go unheard. "But I am not going to take this…whole Mist village becoming the new Uzushiogakure shit at all. Or even you being the…what was it now?" She paused and feint out a thinking impression.
Ticking off Kushina even more by flailing and kicking her legs everywhere! With Kurra and Usari doing their best to hold her back, with Kurra pulling her backwards from the underarms and Usari pushing her arm against Kushina's chest...telling her that she needs to calm down and think who they are up against!
"Oh right 'Uzukage' right? Please…" Ameyuri continued. Enjoying how Kushina angry face is literately turning red "Someone like you being the Kage of a village? Don't make me laugh…oh wait you already are!" exclaimed Ameyuri as she did just that and openly laughed at Kushina.
The woman then turned around and shrugged her shoulders, "Whoever heard of a Kage? That loses his or her temper from petty insults and name calling?" Ameyuri explained. She then begins walking forward towards the now housing areas of the village. Figuring to sleep somewhere for the afternoon, after earning her winnings from arm wrestling as well giggled to herself from hearing Kushina shouting.
"TAKE THAT BACK YOU WITCH! I AM SO UZUKAGE OF THE UZUSHIOKAGURE!" the red head mother screamed out. Making Kurra and Usari to finally begin pushing and pulling her away from the restaurant district, hoping to get the mother too calm down and not gain a lot of attention from the villagers…which is failing badly.
"Kushina please your bringing attention to us!" Usari exclaimed as she is looking left and right. Seeing a crowd of people blinking and staring confusingly at the three of them…
"Yes Kushina please listen to Usari, there is no reason to get worked up! Even though the situation calls for it…we do have to try and keep a low profile." Kurra added as she and Usari were succeeding if not slowly. Calming down Kushina who is now breathing harshly and heavily...
They were right it would be bad for her too blow their cover. Even if she has all rights to get mad and angry at what was said here. All three of them then stopped and blinked their eyes towards Ameyuri, who had apparently stopped in the middle of the busy crowd.
She then turned her head half way and glared at the three while shouting "I will only believe you are a Kage, if you can prove it to me! You bark it out but can you actually back up your words!" Ameyuri exclaimed and then turned her back on them again. "Till you can back up your words, then just maybe I will believe you."
With that the swordswoman disappeared into the crowds and never could be seen again. Leaving the three mothers to just stand there dumbstruck of the woman's word? Only for Kurra and Usari to blink their eyes and winced lightly, at the small menacing laugh Kushina is giving out.
"Oh…I will prove to you that I am a Kage, so much that you will even beg for mercy. As well feeling sorry for ever doubting me in the first place…come on girls. We have a lot of work to do tonight." Kushina announced in a dark tone. Shrugging herself from the two, and began walking down the opposite direction from where Ameyuri took.
Usari and Kurra look at one another and then back towards the female Uzumaki. They then followed right after her and began walking in timing with Kushina. As Usari leaned forward a bit, too get a good look of Kushina's face. Noticing that she had 'that' look in her eyes…a look she and Naruto always have when plotting something devious…or mischievous.
Kurra is the first one to pick up of what Kushina had planned as she asks "What are your orders Kushina? Or should I say…what kind of idea do you have in store for Ameyuri?" as she gave a playful smile towards the red head.
"Oh something that will probably have her agreeing to the terms of joining us…rather she likes it or not, and will agree of living among Uzushiogakure one way or another." Kushina stated with a smirk, earning even a smile from Usari.
"Sounds like fun Kushina so what's the plan?" Usari asked, as the two mothers felt Kushina wrapping both her arms around their necks, beaming at them while laughing towards the curious mothers.
"Well my two curious friends? I will tell you my plan once we get too our rooms, but here's what I have so far", stated Kushina with a broad smile on her face. Wrapping her arms around their necks and bringing them close to her. As the three mothers are walking down the opposite road that Ameyuri took.
Whispering between the two of them, of what they will do to Ameyuri. That will have her join them and become an official resident, of Uzushiogakure the hidden village in the land of Water.
The operation of getting Ameyuri to join their village will begin later in the evening. As they all need to prepare themselves, and set up booby traps for the swordswoman. With Kushina explaining too them of what is needed to be done, and how things will play out.

We meet up with the mothers all gathered in Kushina's hotel room, sitting comfortably on her bed as all three of them were going through their bags, equipment and ninja tools. Even Kushina herself is going through what kind of seal tags she has, including any chakra disruption scrolls she had brought.
In hopes of getting the upper hand for when Ameyuri use her lightning style jutsu. Kushina moved some stuff around in her traveling bag, removing some clothing and chakra like pills out of her bag. Humming too herself in curiosity.
"I hate to say it, but I used up all of my explosive tags. When that strange mask figured attacked me during the Kaguya clan invasion…" announced Kushina letting out a harsh sigh. She then leans away from her bag, crossing her arms underneath her fishnet night gown cover breasts. Moving her tongue against each side of her cheeks…
Kushina then look up towards the two and tilting her head, feeling her ponytail move against the back of her neck. "What about you guys? You have anything that might prevent Ameyuri, from using her chakra or speed?"
Usari closed her eyes and stretching both her arms above her head. Groaning and stretching her pale blue bra of hers against her chest. After that and relaxing her arms back down, and stretching her legs forward against the covers of the bed. She brought both of her hands down onto her lap, gently rubbing them against her black shorts while replying back.
"Sorry Kushina I aint the best with seals or chakra disruption, let alone carry them with me", explained Usari with a sigh. She and Kushina both then look over towards Kurra, who look back at them. Shaking her head left and right, indicating she doesn't have anything. That could disrupt Ameyuri's chakra flow.
Kurra grabbed her purple thin night gowns strap back onto her shoulder. Going through her thoughts of what could be done about the Swordswoman? "…I could place some bone like structures of wherever you need her to be at? To act out like lightning rods?" suggested Kurra. Trying her best not too fall of the edge of the bed.
Kushina pursed her lips to the side, nodding in agreement "That actually might work! This way we don't have to worry about her lightning jutsu. Striking us down once we have her chasing me!" Kushina beamed excitedly with her fist pumping up into the air.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa chasing you!? Kushina you aren't actually thinking of being chase by her are you!?" exclaimed a worried Usari with panic in her eyes, as she slams her hands down onto the mattress. That caused them all to bounce a bit, with Kurra gasping a bit as she grabbed onto the blankets while sighing in relief of not falling off.
"Usari and Kurra I understand your worries, I really do. But there is no way I will have you both getting hurt!" Kushina tried to argue, only to lean her head back and widen her eyes. From Usari grabbing her shoulders and began shaking her.
"No Kushina it's our job as shinobi! Too protect our leader at any given moment of danger. Especially the Kage Anbu unit!" exclaimed Usari while she stopped shaking Kushina. Who has swirls in her eyes and mouth ajar.
Kushina then shook herself from her dazed state, and rested her own arms onto Usari. Pushing the ice ninja away a bit, playfully tapping her cheek. Making the mother too puff them out in annoyance, "I understand it's the Anbu job and all that junk. But I am not like other Kage, you both should know that?" She explained while rubbing her arms up and down against the woman shoulder, hoping to calm her down.
Kurra smile at how Kushina like herself and Usari? Is very compassionate and caring too others "Kushina-san? I think the other reason Usari is concern…is what about Naruto?"
Kurra said only to then sweat drop and chuckle sheepishly when Kushina countered with "I could say the same to both of you two? Though granted I understand…that Naruto never had a mother, for the seven years he lived in the leaf. Nor me being there for him, but", at this Kushina sighed out and looks down at the blankets.
Getting the Kaguya mother and the Yuki mother to become a bit worried…only to then let out quiet 'oh' and nodded when Kushina said "We are shinobi. We always have our lives on the line; we never know what could happen during a mission."
Kushina sighed out and adjusted her fishnet gown as well her breasts. "You all have to understand that we must not let our emotions get to us. The kids…will also be learning about this once they become full fledge ninja." She explained while resting her arms around her midriff. Shifting her violet eyes around their tools, hoping that they have enough equipment for Ameyuri?
Both Kurra and Usari nodded their heads in understanding and gave their own depress sighs. "Right…SO let's make sure that this is a success! So we can see and watch our children become great Ninja!" shouted Usari as she jumped up onto the bed.
Both fists pump and eager to get their mission started, as her determination. Got too Kushina and Kurra as they join with Usari by standing up on the bed also. Throwing their fists up in excitement, only for Kushina to trip over the blanket and knocked them all off the bed. Slamming down hard onto the floor with a loud thud!
They let out small groans of pain. With all three of them tangled up on the floor, with both Kurra and Usari on each side of Kushina. With Kushina in between the three of them as her chin is on the floor.
Kushina left hand during the fall and landing on top of the other two. Slipped right through Usari bra, and pushing against her left small C-cup boob, with her fingers pressing against it. While her right leg is between Kurra thighs, pressing up against her panty covered pelvis. As well her left toe is pushing and scratching against Usari womanhood through her shorts.
The same for Kushina, as Usari who moved her hands in front of her. Too hopefully prevent them from falling, has her left hand clutching and squeezing tightly against Kushina's right breast. With Kurra right hand squeezing Kushina's left breast. With both her and Usari's foot somewhat ripped through Kushina's fishnet gown, and slide down her panties. All the while gliding and rubbing through her thighs as all mothers, let out groans and moans of pain from their little fall.
As all of them widen their eyes and quickly separated themselves from their entanglement. Once they were free and sitting on the floor, situating their selves. Slowly started laughing out openly and then into full blown laughter. Their moods not at all dampers of what just happen, as they all began getting up and dressed for their mission.
"Alright you three know what to do?" Kushina asked as she gotten up and moves over too her bag. In a way to get change into her sown made Anbu gear. With the other two doing the same thing and walked to their own bags.
"You want us to head on over to a clearing. That we spotted about five miles away from the village, and set up as many traps as possible." Usari said. As Kurra went and finish the rest of her sentence and pulling out her form fitting anbu gear.
"I then will create multiple like bone pillars along the path. Too act like lightning rods for whenever Ameyuri uses her Lightning style skills. After doing so and making sure their all prep, I will then go and booby trap the forest with your 'Wind blast' seal tags." informed Kurra smiling towards the two of them.
Kushina fully dressed and ready as well swiping her hands, through her red hair to fix it up. Look up at the two of them and gave a grin of acknowledgment. "Correct and you two will have to get them up, soon as possible. Considering I will be having the derange swordswoman following me." She said while pausing in her sentence.
Kushina then moved her hands into her pocket and pulled out three ear-like devices. She then showcase them too Kurra and Usari "With these wireless radios, we can keep in touch with one another." She started explaining as the other two mothers. Accepted the radios and places them over their ears, "they have about twenty five mile range radius." She started while putting her own radio against her ear.
Kushina then fixed her hair over the ear, and grins at the two "and since where we saw that opening in the forest. We won't be able to contact each other for a while." She tried to explain only too giggle silently when Usari blinked her eyes.
"Wait what do you mean? You just said", Usari went to explain. Only too look towards Kurra who cleared her throat and had a hand too her mouth.
"Usari this hotel alone is about seventeen miles away from the forest. While Ameyuri, after asking around of where she is staying at? Her hotel is literately about twenty miles south from the village entrance." After explaining that, Kushina decided to end this conversation.
"All adds up too thirty-seven miles from our rendezvous point. Now please you two, while we are executing this mission? You must all focus on the tasks your given! Understood?" She asked with a firm tone towards the two mothers.
Who both look at one another and back too Kushina, as they stood attention with a firm nod. "Yes Kushina!"
"Okay good now watch each other backs out there. Much I don't think we will run into any trouble, we still are in between land borders between Land of Waterfall, Rock and Fire. We don't want to be caught by Rock…especially the land of fire!" Kushina stressed out, making the two mothers nod in understanding.
"Will do and please be careful Kushina…Mei Terumi did told us, that Ameyuri will never give up a chase. No matter whose her opponent is!" Usari exclaimed. As she and Kurra move towards the window, while giving one last look at the red head Uzumaki. Who looked back with a small assuring nod.
"Don't worry I know exactly what will have her chasing me…and probably preventing her from using lightning jutsu." She explained and saw the two nodding. As they immediately jumped out of the window using the shadows to hide their tracks.
Leaving Kushina alone in her apartment room, "okay Kushina girl this is it…you're going up against one of the seven swordsmen. Steel up your nerves and calm yourself down, it won't help if you're a nervous wreck!" She told herself through the room's mirror. Having nostalgic feeling of the old days, of when she worked as a Shinobi for the Leaf village.
Kushina after getting out of her thoughts, look over to one of the desk tables of the room. Sitting on it was a picture frame, of her and Naruto. Both were smiling towards the camera with her arms, around Naruto shoulders hugging him close to her.
She always carries this picture frame with her at all times. In a way to get encouragement from seeing Naruto's smiling face, silently giving her the courage and strength to push on. Even as a reminder that she has a healthy boy to come back home too. As well as having many great stories to tell him, about her missions.
Breathing in lightly and exhaling out. Kushina nodded her head silently "Alright Kushina, it's now or never!" she told herself and jumped out through the window and onto the rooftops. Taking the road that Ameyuri Ringo took, in search for her hotel and room.

Nightfall had broken through the horizon, as the villagers take notice and starting packing things in for the night. Grabbing any hanging signs, wooden signs and even turning off some of their lights. Making sure to close shop everywhere and hurrying to their homes.
There still some lights turn on through some of the late night stores, bars, restaurants and hotels. In case any customers will come into their stores. Or want to hang out at the local bars, or needing a place to stay for the night.
The street lights were shining dimly through the night, as there were still people walking about. Enjoying the serene nightlife this village offers. While some just hanging outside of their porch, enjoying the many stars in the sky. Even loving couples huddling together are walking through the streets, enjoying one another's company.
This quiet and silent village is a perfect location, for ninja to hide and sneak around town. Without being caught or notice by any of the guards, especially for Kushina. Who is silently running and jumping through each and individual rooftops.
Running on them in a way to guiding her way through the town without getting lost. The same time getting a good high point of view for the streets below, and any obstacles she might need to avoid. Just in case Ameyuri decides to go ape crazy. With her lightning style Jutsu…
Ninja stepping and jumping through couple more houses and buildings. Kushina finally reached deep into the housing districts of the village, where most of the hotels, condos, apartment buildings and houses reside at.
Breathing in and out calmly, as well as hiding herself from anyone down on the streets. The red hair mother peeked around one of the second story buildings. Looking around the area a bit, in hopes of finding the hotel that Ameyuri is residing in?
In which she spotted as there was a building, being only about three stories high. Or three floors from what Kushina can tell? By looking outside of the hotel? She could spot a couple of windows with lights on, and movements coming from behind their curtains. But figuring out which one of them, having the swordswoman will be difficult to figure out?
"Good thing I packed those binoculars from the Kage mansion." Muttered Kushina quietly, as she reaches an arm behind her and grabbing the hanging binoculars. She then looks through the lenses towards the hotel room.
Peeking through every individual room that has their lights on, hoping that one of them? Will have the person she is looking for inside. Even though this alone will be time consuming, considering she has to make sure. Not to miss a single beat of each window she spots…or else she might over shoot one having Ameyuri.
The first two windows on the first floor had nothing in them…just house maids cleaning and fixing up the sheets and such. The third window though nearly made Kushina have a heart attack! At the same time inhaling sharply, when she spotted the Raikage!
Laughing and enjoying himself with company, she could not see. 'Fuck what is the Raikage doing here!? Man this just made the mission even more difficult.' She thought with a worried glance at the window. Only too then continue looking through the windows of the hotel. Getting impatient of not spotting Ringo Ameyuri yet…
"Couple of family members arguing and yelling at each other…" stated Kushina as she began looking through the second floor windows. "An elderly yelling at some house service…two couples moving to the bed, aw come you two. Your way to young too start having sex…" Kushina thought in irritation. Almost forgetting of why she is here, and not being a peeping tom.
Continuing through the rest of the windows and looking through them. Kushina is starting to become very agitated of not being able to spot her target whatsoever! In which had her lower the binoculars, down onto the roof tiles next to her. Sighing out in irritation and rubbing between the bridges of her nose.
"For crying out loud I know she is in one of these rooms!? Yes granted she is a ninja…" she said to herself while sighing out and looking up into the night sky. Talking too no one in particular, as she grabs the binoculars again and resume her search with gritted teeth "But even someone like Ameyuri, would have to at least stay here for the night. Now exactly which room are you in?"
Kushina hummed out as she went ahead, to search through the third floor of the hotel. Hoping that at least one of the rooms will have Ameyuri inside or wandering around the bedroom. During her haste of searching and getting frustrated. Nearly fell forward when she passed the fourth window, farthest to the left of the third floor.
Spotting what appears to be a woman with long red hair, along with fitting the description of the swordswoman. Had Kushina smiling out and pumping her arm! "Bingo! There you are Ameyuri, now…how to get you too chase after me if going to be an obstacle itself?" Kushina thought out loud. In which is true much she knows about the swordswoman? There wasn't much info leading too her, easily becoming mad…
Unless she was being either attacked, hunted down or being ambush from enemy ninja. Also since she had already seen Kushina's face, the swordswoman would probably not be phase at all by her presence… "Which will compromise my plans of having her following me? If she knew it was me, she would just shake the whole thing as a joke."
With those finishing thoughts and leaping off from the building she is kneeling on. Kushina moved her way on to the side of the hotel. Where one of the support beams are as well as the porch roofs that were made for each stories of the building, so this way anyone is stupid enough to go and jump out the window? Will still be able to save themselves, by grabbing onto the edges and prevent themselves from falling.
Kushina, who approached behind the silver color support beam, poked her head around it. Looking for anyone who was watching outside, or guarding the place? Especially people from the lightning village! Considering that the Raikage is visiting here and probably in a meeting with someone important? Will definitely have one of his ninja outside scouting the area for any troublemakers or assassins that might come and harm their leader…
Spotting nobody out in the front, or from the right side of the building and where she is at. Kushina nodded quietly to herself and concentrated chakra into her feet. Making sure that it was low enough, and hidden from any sensing ninja types.
After doing that and having enough, to scale at least three stories on any walls or structures? Kushina immediately began running up the support beam, too the second floor and then the third floor. As she grabbed onto the ledge and flipped up onto the porch roof, crouching low as possible.
She then began walking carefully up to where the windows were, and crouch low from the windows. Crawling her way through the porch roof, making sure to stay hidden and away from any light source, the windows were giving. On the account she didn't want her shadow over casting on the ground, and alerting any surveying guards that decides to walk outside.
Even though she has gotten this far…the mother is still trying to figure out? How too actually get Ameyuri to follow her? "You should've thought about this through Kushina girl…" she scolded herself and quickly closed her eyes shut.
From hearing a loud bang of a door opening and closing, as well a young woman playfully screaming out and being tossed onto the bed with what sounded like a man, growling out lustfully too her…causing Kushina too sigh out in irritation and shaking of her head.
Kushina kept pushing forward, ignoring anything else that might disrupt her mission. Only too gasp and literately stand up and jump up onto the porch roof! Kushina then saw Ameyuri, poking her head out of the window and glaring at the window three rooms from her. Grumbling and muttering out, how ignorant people are and slams her window shutters and locks it.
Making Kushina too grit her teeth and shake her head left and right in anger. While sighing out harshly into the air, facing up at the sky "Kami come on don't do this to me! This is not a funny joke too play on me!" she whispered out towards the skies at no one. She then looks back down to the one room where her target is.
She moved quietly over towards the window, and stopping right above it. Many things could and probably will go wrong, if Kushina doesn't time this carefully? She can easily attract the Raikages attention along with endangering her, Usari and Kurra.
All the while having to abandon the mission and head back home…deeming this too dangerous and risky for everyone. "Which I cannot afford doing! It took us nearly four days a trip, just searching for her. No way am I losing her now! Alright Kushina think…she already knows your face, and your intentions." Kushina whispered to herself, while quietly flipping down from the edge of the roof and onto the one below her. Where Ameyuri's window is, as she then quickly presses her back against the wall…breathing lightly and calmly. The same time going through her thoughts of how she should proceed with the mission..?
Going in and revealing herself won't work. On the account Ameyuri can easily cause a commotion in the room…forcing Kushina to flee. She can't barge in there and start attacking the swordswoman, as she can easily kill her on the spot. With the tight corners and small elbow room, Kushina can easily get killed.
"Man this is difficult but at the same time, reminds me of the days. When I worked as a Jonin…now think like one and even more so like a Kage." She berated as well pulling out a kunai from her weapon pouch. Kushina then moved in front of the shutter, carefully jabbing the sharp like end in the middle. Wiggling it up and down carefully, as well as making sure not to make too much noise. As she successfully got the lock unhinge, and quickly return the weapon back in her bag. She then open the shutters very quietly, just enough for her too peak inside the room, and judge her situation so far.

Kushina look around the room and its interior, noticing that there were no signs of the swordswoman anywhere. Making the mother to quickly scratch the back of her head, wondering where exactly the woman is? Only too spot and blink her attention at the back of the room. Noticing some light shining through the cracks of a door, leading to a bathroom probably?
After spotting said probably restroom as well as hearing rushing waters? Kushina had no doubt in her mind. That Ameyuri is in there, giving her enough time to come up with a plan of action. As well as probably poke around the room. For anything that will get the swordswoman chasing her…
Breathing in some air and letting it out, Kushina hopped inside of the room. While making sure to make her steps light as possible. As she then kneels down close to the floor. Scanning the room for any indications or personal that belong too Ringo.
"Work fast Kushina who knows how long she will be in there?" thought Kushina. As she began moving her way over towards the king size bed. Crouching low as possible from view, as she bends down to check under the bed…
But nothing noteworthy or anything that belong to Ringo? She sat back up resting an arm against the bed, a she gently nibble her lower lip a bit. Kushina then turn around half way to a drawer. Silently opening it up for any contents or items, but wind up there being nothing of interest!
Closing it and trying to fight back a growl. Kushina look too the bed and spotted what would be the woman's traveling bag. Making the mother to smile, only to drop it and quickly look over to the restroom. As she waits for any signs of the restroom door handle jiggling?
Hearing the shower still running and now what sounded like Ameyuri, humming a tune. Relaxes Kushina a bit, as it means she doesn't have to worry about her coming out any time soon. Resuming her search once more…
Kushina stood up and walked around the bed. To the left side of it with swift movements, and then picks up Ameyuri's traveling back up too her chest. She proceeded too then unwrap it just a bit, so there will be an opening. Too see what kind of items the swordswoman carries with her?
"Let's see some traveling clothes? Ninja tools and equipment as well scrolls?" Kushina thought too herself. Rummaging through the bag, while making sure not to dump out any contents… nothing seems to have caught her attention, minus a few traveling maps and food for wherever city or towns the girl visits?
Kushina continued searching through the bag, hoping to find something? Something that will cause Ameyuri too chase her? Only too pause and raise an eyebrow, as her hand landed onto what felt like paper? Pulling it out from the bag and too her face, she notice It is no ordinary paper.
It was a photo! In it was showing what looks like a young girl, who is standing between two adults. Who Kushina figures were the girl's parents? But what makes this a little bit more personal, is the fact the young girl. Is Ameyuri Ringo!
"That is weird? Why…would she be carrying around a photo of her parents?" Kushina thought. But didn't really question any further, on the account she too carries a photo. With Naruto and her smiling at the camera, in which is very precious too her. It kind of warms her heart a bit, knowing that even a Swordsman…still can hold onto something precious of their life.
"Which this is the key of having her, chasing me!" She grins at the idea, all the while pocketing the picture into her pouch. Next she clasps her hands together for a Transformation jutsu. Changing her entire appearance completely to a new person!
But not too much of a change the only thing that changed, was her hair style too that of being short blond hair. Wearing what would be considered an Anbu mask, but not entirely like theirs. The mask she chosen was those you see in festivities.
That of the Shinigami reaper as well everything else about her appearance, is minor except making herself a bit taller. With a bit more muscles into her legs and arms. All the while making broader shoulder blades, while the finishing touches. Has her mask cracked or slashed across the right eye.
Looking herself over at the mirror wall Kushina nodded lightly at the changes, and proceeded with the mission. She went back to the travel bag and then immediately started shaking, thrashing and dumping out all of the contents inside. Making sure to be loud as possible, with all of Ameyuri's items flying everywhere!
Hitting the walls crashing into some of the counters, and even knocking over couple of lamps and picture frames in the room!
Including the Kiba swords, that is next to the shower room causing them to fall over with a thud. Alerting Ameyuri in the bathroom, in which Kushina heard the shower being turned off. As well as rushing footsteps heading to the door.
Kushina who heard the footsteps rushes over to the open windows. Prompting one leg outside with the other still inside, as Kushina then sat on the windowsill. She then heard the bathroom door opening up hard, as it banged into the wall.
Revealing a very angry and frustrated Ameyuri, who is only in a towel. Whipped her head over towards the window as she then demanded "Who the fuck are you! Answer me now or else I will rip you to shred!"
Kushina who is now outside of the window gave a cackle "Now that wouldn't be any fun would it? If I told you who I am, this game will be too easy!" She exclaimed and leaped off out towards the city. Having Ameyuri to run towards the open window, only too then widen her eyes when the next thing she heard…
"OH and thanks for the photo! It will make great profits and bounties too hunt down your family!" Kushina shouted out in the out. Making Ameyuri to turn around, and look at her now messy room. Scanning quickly over the mess, and spotted that her traveling bag is open!
"Damn it all to hell!" Ameyuri scolded to herself, as she went over to her clothes and prepares to give chase. "So think you can escape me morsel? Well you made a mistake, as you left me with my prize swords." She said too herself smiling her shark like teeth.

"Okay phase one complete…I hope." Kushina thought. As she was making great distance between her and the hotel building. Making sure to stop every few seconds, just too see if the swordswoman is following her or not?
Jumping and leaping over three more rooftops, Kushina stops jumping after landing onto the fourth building. Breathing and panting lightly. Hunching over and resting her hands on her knees, the mother tilted her head behind her. To see if Ameyuri was giving chase, only too then open her eyes halfway.
Noticing some movement in the distance, along with what appears to be a blue glow. Growing bigger and bigger "OH SHIT!" shouted Kushina. As she quickly jump in between buildings, making sure to jump from each walls too land safely on the ground. Watching a lightning bolt shooting right above her, and exploding at a nearby water barrel!
Causing all the water too splash out and shower down to the ground. "Yeah she definitely gave chase!" Kushina thought out loud and began running once more. Towards where the village gates were, only too yelp out and cover her head from another Lightning bolt. Being fired from Ameyuri and making contact to a nearby building. Creating a blue glow when it exploded on the building forcing Kushina, too shield her eyes from the brightness. Only too then trip over a rolling barrel and slide against the ground with a grunt.
"Try and run all you want, you will not escape from me! I always catch my meals and then grind them into nothing!" shouted Ameyuri. Who landed onto the streets from the rooftops, and gave chase on foot. With both her swords facing forward.
Kushina hissed out in pain from the fall. She then quickly got back up onto her feet and ran, running as fast she could. While running through the city streets, Kushina let out couple of yelps and gasps when more of Ameyuri's. Lightning bolt jutsu began firing past her, erupting and exploding at nearby stalls and houses.
"You have no idea who you're messing with! Return that photo right now, so I don't have to smash you into squash!" shouted Ameyuri as she began firing her jutsu closer to Kushina. Who took the time too quickly looks behind her, and immediately cartwheels out of the way to the left!
The lightning jutsu missed her and erupted on the ground, few feet from her. That created a small smokescreen which Kushina took advantage of, by running straight towards the smoke. Using it to hopefully evade more Lightning jutsu…
Ameyuri just grins as she watches this ninja. Purposely run straight into the smokescreen, in hopes of losing her. Only for Ameyuri too quickly swipe her swords up and down. Deflecting and slashing couple of ninja stars and kunais away from her. Adding more fun too this chase, as the smoke stretched upward. Meaning the ninja she is chasing, is now going onto the rooftops.
As well as throwing now what seems to be paper bombs this time around. "My, she isn't a dumb one at all. This morsel is getting even more interesting by the minute!" Ameyuri thought too herself, as she enhanced some chakra too her feet and darted straight towards one of the apartments. Avoiding the four paper bombs that erupted just outside, causing some vibrations.
XXX
Kushina after throwing those bombs, continued on through the village. Making sure to jump precisely at each rooftop, that is coming her way. All the while mentally checking the distance between herself and the city gates... Where she will then use her radio too contact both, Usari and Kurra of the situation…
"Okay girl just fourteen miles to go and you will be able to get radio contact!" Kushina told herself with a smile. Only too then let out a loud grunt of pain and getting flown backwards, from one of the doors. On the rooftop opening up just in time to smack her in the face!
"Where do you think you're going little meat?" the voice rang out venomously. Causing Kushina during her flinching state, to whip her head upward and facing at the swordswoman. Who was looking down at her and swiping both her swords against one another.
"A-Ameyuri", Kushina stutter out all the while crawling backwards. Only too then quickly backflip from Ameyuri slashing both swords above her head and straight down at Kushina! She then swung one sword upward, only to miss when Kushina quickly spun too her left.
Then lean her upper body backwards, from Ameyuri swinging her left sword to the right. Nearly nicking the mothers chin. After swinging the sword to the right, Ameyuri continued with the motion. By doing a round house kick at Kushina, who immediately subsatute with a log too take the hit!
After doing so and appear couple distance away from the swordswoman. Kushina quickly went through her hand signs too perform one of her jutsu. "Water style: Razor blades!" shouted Kushina, as she swipe both arms behind her and started gathering water above her hands.
Both of them forming and shaping into Razor saws! Causing Ameyuri to raise an eyebrow and then begins to avoid them, by slashing her sword in the middle of the first saw blade, and then rolled underneath the second one that flew over her head.
Before she could stab her sword into the ground, she let out a loud grunt of pain. Feeling something kicking straight into her chin, and then two more kicks into her stomach! Forcing Ameyuri to slide backwards and then retaliated. By digging her heels into the floor, and used the momentum to jump back too Kushina!
Kushina, who immediately grabbed out one of her Kunai, began using it to deflect and clashing her kunai. With both Ameyuri's sword as the two were going head to head with one another. Whenever Kushina swings upward, Ameyuri will slash her left sword down.
Then Ameyuri will slash her right sword towards Kushina's head. Only for Kushina weave her way underneath it, and punched her right fist at Ameyuri's stomach. Who quickly blocked it with her knee, and both jumped apart from each other. Throwing five different Kunai's that all clang and deflected from one another.
"Water Style: Water wall jutsu!" shouted Kushina after landing back onto the ground. Inhaled a lot of air into her lungs, and thrust her face forward. Shooting out a strong stream of water to the floor, making the water too splash and expand high into the air. Creating a massive wall of water, rushing straight at Ameyuri!
"Does she not know that I am a lightning user?" Ameyuri thought too herself, as she just shook her head in disappointment. She brought one sword high into the air, and the other one out stretched shouting out "Kenjutsu: Thunderbolt!" and with that along with charging up huge amount of chakra.
Raw powerful lightning bolts flashed and flicker through the night, lightning up everything in a blue hue. Then a lightning shot down from the sky and straight towards Ameyuri's extended sword, which then traveled through her chakra network, through her arm and at her other sword. That acted as an exit point for the lightning, having it shoot out from the tip of her Kiba sword.
Straight towards the incoming water wall, that is about too crash down into her and possibly send her off the rooftops. Only for the jutsu too fail and get evaporated from the Thunderbolt jutsu. Sending splashes of water everywhere as well, discharge of electricity following it.
"That's what happens when you mess with me. Too bad…I was actually enjoying my meal." Ameyuri said too herself, chuckling lightly and began moving forward. In hopes finding a charred body of the ninja she was chasing… "Huh?" she quickly stated out loud all the while blinking her eyes in disbelief!
She missed her target! Her strongest attack the thunderbolt actually missed the ninja completely! Ameyuri stood there in disbelief of how her jutsu could have missed her target? Was she upset? A little, but is actually now respecting this ninja a lot. On the account it seemed like she managed. Too replace herself with a steel pipe, which probably acted like a lightning rod. So this way even if the ninja could avoid her Thunderbolt jutsu?
She would have something in her place, too act like a rod. All the while avoiding any real damage from the said jutsu! Ameyuri couldn't help but be quite impressed; it takes a lot of concentration. Too pull off something like this? The swordswoman shifted her eyes to the left, hearing the stomping of footsteps. Meaning the chase was still on, and she has a lot to look forward for more surprises!
"Keep running my little dango, I want to see what other surprises you have in store for me!"
XXX
Meanwhile with Kurra and Usari, the two mothers were working diligently in the forest. Setting up many of the traps and pitfalls, in order too hopefully trap the Swordswoman into. Usari is working on the top of the tree branches. Setting up trip wires and kunai dispensers that will fire upon the person that will step on the wires.
All the while making sure to use ninja wires, too place hanging paper bombs. So this way if Ameyuri strikes from above, will get tangled up with the wires. As well as pull the bombs together and right above her too explode and send the injured ninja down to the ground.
"So you sure these Paper bombs won't actually kill Ameyuri?" Usari asked through her radio. As she jumps down too midlevel of the trees, hearing the ninja wires being stretched out when doing so. Once she landed onto the next branch, at the same time tying the string around it. The mother let out a soft sigh, and stares ahead of her. Hearing what sounded like loud booms of thunder?
"Affirmative these paper bombs do not actually have explosives in them. Kushina-san made these especially for this occasion, as they contain what you will say…pocket of air I believe?" Kurra said. Having Usari nodding her head and then look at the bombs she placed.
"Yeah they definitely have her sealing prowess in them…I just hope she will be alright. I mean…facing Ameyuri by herself?" Usari announced with a worry tone. Hearing what sounded like earth being move below her.
In which was Kurra setting up her bone like pillars, that Kushina wanted her to make. In a way of redirecting most if not, Ameyuri's entire lightning base attacks. The Kaguya mother, who has her hands on the ground, closed her eyes gently with a firm nod. "I understand your concern Usari…I really do." She started to say, creating about thirteen different bones like pillars that were about five stepping distance apart.
From random directions between and away from each individual tree, she tried too covered up. As well as making sure that, they will be enough fighting space. For all of them, in case Ameyuri decides to go close range on them…
"But we have to believe in Kushina and her success! I have no doubt that she can do it!" Kurra said with a smirk, as she stood up straight and let out a calming breath. Only too then gasp and widen her eyes, as the loud booms of thunder were now starting to get closer and closer to them!
Suddenly both Kurra and Usari let out a small hiss, when their radios started giving out white noises and static. "Hello Kurra can you hear me?" Usari shouted through the radio, even though the mother can hear her from below.
"Yeah but something wrong with the radio?" replied the mother, through garbled up message. As the two of them quickly bring their hands up too their radios. Trying to adjust the settings and frequency, only too then start hearing what sounded like a third voice? Garbling and coming through in broken up sentence?
"Ku…rra…Us…ari….get….ready", the voice responded though unclear?
"Kushina, Kushina can you hear me?! Your breaking up what is it you trying to say?" Usari asked through the radio, as she continues to fiddle with it and get a clear transmission between the two of them? Only too yelp and pulled the radio away from her ear. As well as Kurra doing the same thing, rubbing their ears from the sudden loud explosion!
"YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE YOU COULD PULL ONE OVER AMEYURI, YOUR MISTAKEN!" was the scream they heard next, after getting radio contact back. As well what sounded like Kushina, succeeding having the swordswoman following her? But…how she did it is the question?
"I think you two already know my situation! Now is everything all set up!?" Kushina asked frantically, causing the two mothers too look upon one another and grimace. As Kurra immediately darted towards the open fields, of where their final plan to have Ameyuri joining them set up.
"We need more time Kushina! We have set up the first and second part of the traps already. Along with the bone pillars, we haven't set up the BIG trap yet!" Usari responded as she too. Turned around and ran towards the direction of where the open field was.
XXX
"Great, just hurry up caused I can't keep avoiding her!" Kushina exclaimed through the radio. Hearing another charge of electricity coming right towards her! Kushina immediately jumps too her left and on the tree bark, and then jumps too her right to another tree bark. Using the tree branches as a means, of getting away and hopefully evades any more Thunderbolts!
Now she is up on the tree branches, with Ameyuri following right behind her. She has more objects to use as a defensive means! Considering that lightning doesn't conduct on wood, gives Kushina slight advantage over the Swordswoman.
Of course the same could be said about Ameyuri, who proceeded. Too follow Kushina into the branches as well. "Don't think the trees will protect you! Because they won't, even with my lightning jutsu!" shouted Ameyuri. Who demonstrated by doing that, as she charged up some electricity around her body and began firing multiple lightning bolts from each swing she takes, of her swords.
Kushina grunted out a bit when couple of the lightning. Fly right past her and nearly making contact on her! Erupting and destroying couple of the trees, she was about to land on. Having splinters and chippings of wood coming at her!
Causing Kushina to close one eye a bit, when a few flew by her cheek and cut it slightly. But wouldn't let it deter her task. After she landed onto the next tree branch, and jump off from it. She quickly twirled her body in three-sixty.
"Don't think I will make this easy!" Kushina called out, throwing five different ninja stars and kunais at Ameyuri. Who landed on the branch Kushina just jumped off from, and deflected the weapons. By moving her arms forward and spinning both her swords.
Having the thrown weapons Kushina used, too fly off and thump into the barks nearby. After avoiding them, she leaps after Kushina once more. Enhancing more chakra too her feet, to increase her jumping speed.
"Hah you think that will slow me down?! You got another- whoa!" Ameyuri interrupted her sentence. As then quickly flipped herself over, from what looked like a water dragon jutsu! Coming right for her and exploding against the entire tree she was on!
"Geez!?" exclaimed Ameyuri. Looking at the destruction the jutsu just did, too the tree she was on. She then looked back forward and immediately dropping down one floor lower. To avoid a barrage of what looked like more kunais and shruikens!
Jumping up and down between each tree level by grabbing and swinging herself, on each branch she grabs. Using them too swing and extend her jumps by letting go of them. Hearing the weapons, slamming and thwacking into the branches and barks…
The swordswoman continued her pursuit, licking her teeth in excitement. All the while continuing to fire off more of her lightning jutsu towards Kushina "Whatever plan you have, you better start using it. As your losing more of the forest!" shouted Ameyuri!
In which had Kushina tsking too herself, as she looks back at the pursuing swordswoman. Seeing how she is gaining distance to her, as well about in range too not miss. Any of her lightning jutsu too Kushina…and that is very worrying.
Kushina turned her attention back in front of her. Seeing that she is almost nearing the rendezvous point! Where there she will execute their traps and hopefully, subdue Ameyuri. While pray too Kami, that she will take their offer…
Kushina let out a small cry of pain, from one of Ameyuri's attacks. Hitting her shoulder almost causing her to fall from the treetops! As she did a front flip after her next jump, and safely land all the way too ground level. Wincing and breathing heavily, from the lightning jutsu hitting right into her right shoulder.
"Kushina-san everything is ready! Hurry and lure Ameyuri here!" announced a worried Kurra through the radio. Making Kushina to smile and proud, the two mothers. Were able to finish up the traps! As Kushina stood up quickly, ignoring the stinging pain, running through her numb shoulder and arm.
Kushina lifted her left arm up to the radio, and darted forward through the bushes and trees. Avoiding and evading the lightning jutsu that Ameyuri is sending out. Exploding and causing pieces of the earth, to fly off whenever the lighting hits the ground.
"Come on I thought one of the seven swordsman, are supposed to be incredible killers and ninja! Your nothing, compare to the others!" shouted Kushina as she looked over her shoulder and saw Ameyuri growling and gritting her teeth.
"What was that you little shit? Are you questioning my skills!" shouted Ameyuri, who quickly pulled her hand behind her and grabbed some senbons and kunais. Tossing them with lightning infused into them, soaring through the skies at Kushina.
Only to miss completely when the mother. Darted right between two trees and jumps up into the air, having the weapons slam and hit into the ground and trees. Having Kushina too laugh loudly, as she began zigzagging through each tree, noticing the scenery is changing around her.
With the dirt being more brown and dark, as she is silently running past hidden bone pikes that were behind some trees. "What do you think!? You call yourself the great Ameyuri, the lightning swordsman? PAH! You haven't once strike me down, or landed a hit with any of your lightning jutsu!" Kushina shouted with a grinning smirk.
She then slides to a complete stop while spinning her body around, with her hand gliding gently against the dirt and then stood up straight. Smiling behind her cracked mask as she then motion her arms in a 'Come at me' fashion. "Come on I am not going to move or evade this time!" she exclaimed.
Having the swordswoman too stop on the next branch, and then leap down towards ground level. She then blinked her eyes confusingly at the strange woman? Who said that she wasn't going to move or evade her next attack?
"Are you shitting me? Are you really that bold and crazy, too allow me attack you?" Ameyuri asked, with slight venom in her voice. It's one thing too dissed her ability and skills, as a ninja swordsman? But stating that she will completely miss her target, while they are standing still?
Kushina shrugged her shoulders with a chuckle, while resting her now recovered arm. Against her hip "I don't think I am joking, or else I wouldn't challenge you too it? What?" She then faked a gasp, and openly laughed while holding her stomach.
"Is the big bad swordswoman, afraid that I will be right? That she wouldn't be able to hit me, with her strongest attack!?" cackled Kushina. Shaking her head left and right watching the good reaction the swordswoman is giving, as she can see her. Clutching and tightening her grip against both her Kiba swords.
Kushina then smiled sensing both familiar chakra signatures. That belonged to both Kurra and Usari, as they were hiding themselves quite well and away from her and Ameyuri. "Good you two are sticking close…I don't know if I can lure her all by myself." Kushina said too herself.
"So you think I will miss with my strongest attack?" Ameyuri asked with a wide smirk. Resting a hand against her left hip and licking her lips. Watching in amusement at the way, this thief isn't budging or moving from her spot at all.
Ameyuri then silently scanned around her, by shifting her eyes. "No doubt she is up to something…as well leading me too that opened area, of the forest? No question about this, this isn't a normal thief. This ninja actually planned ahead and lead me through this forest. For what though?" Ameyuri thought too herself.
Her eyes twitched at sensing two more chakra signatures, as well as feeling similar to the ones. She met back in the food court! Now understanding the reason behind this whole chase! "If those two are who I believe to be…then", she then faces forward at the masked wearing ninja. "Then this must be Kushina behind that mask of hers. To go all this trouble for me, too join their village."
Ameyuri will have to admit, this Uzumaki is definitely a lot crazier than she first thought. She is absolutely nuts! She figures too humor her and go along with this charade of hers, who knows? From what she has seen so far and the way Kushina…is able to keep up with her and avoid all if not most of her attacks? This mother has impressed the swordsman a lot throughout the chase? But now it's time to end it!
"Well I have to admit too something about you?" Ameyuri started saying. While she lifts both of her swords in front of her chest. Smirking at the ninja who proceeded, too stand in that one spot confidently. Thinking that she has trapped Ameyuri into something, in which said swordswoman…
Will happily prove her just how wrong she is! "You have definitely impressed me throughout this chase of ours…using something very close and dear to me? Leading me away from the village and into the woods? Where no one will come and interrupt your little game of yours. Wanting to be sure that you have me, all too yourself right…Kushina?" Ameyuri said her name silently with a wide grin.
Watching in fascination of how the woman entire body flinched. From hearing her name being called out, as well visibly gulping and then sighed out in defeat. Ameyuri then had both her swords touching, watching and waiting for the mother…too get rid of her disguise.
Which Kushina did so by releasing her jutsu and disappear in a puff of smoke. Only for the masked ninja too be replaced, by the Uzumaki woman from this morning. Having both eyes closed and sighing out irritably.
"Okay what gave me away?" Kushina asked opening up one eye, looking at the swordswoman. Who is having static electricity surrounding her entire body! Along with scrapping both her Kiba swords, up and down one another. Causing the two swords too make sounds, each time they rub into each other.
Kushina then grunted and took a step back, when Ameyuri announced out. "Simple…your two friend's chakra signatures were nearby. Granted they could have fooled even a Jonin or a Chuunin with how well they hid their chakra…but too somebody like me?" Ameyuri then cackle a bit, as now static sounds could be heard with light thundering above them.
"It's child's play! Lightning style: Thunderbolt!" exclaimed Ameyuri! Who had a bolt of lightning shoot straight down too her one sword, and then shot out from the other. Firing it straight toward her right, where Usari and Kurra were.
Causing Kushina too whip her head in that direction "Usari, Kurra watch out!" screamed Kushina. Watching the entire forest glowing from the bolt of lightning, shooting through the woods! Straight towards where Usari and Kurra are hiding.
The two of them tsk under their breaths and staggered back a bit. Only for them to watch the lightning, arching straight down towards the ground and striking at one of the hidden bone pikes! Causing Ameyuri to widen her eyes and step back in pure shock!
"What but how I never-", she never got too finish her sentence, as she let out a loud breath of air. Feeling an elbow striking right into her stomach! She then is sent flying backwards from the blow, bouncing and tumbling against the ground.
Ameyuri quickly recovered by jumping off from the ground, and onto her feet. Quickly blocking a forward kick, by using her swords and pushing Kushina away from her! Only too then rolled to her right, as Kurra, came rushing out from behind a bush.
Encasing her entire left arm with her bones, hammering that arm straight down into the ground! Breaking it apart and leaving cracks behind the blow.
Ameyuri then did a huge backflip, when she sensed the third mother. Coming out from her hiding space, and almost axe kicked her from the forehead. Evading the attack and landing on one of the tree branches, Ameyuri growled out and began slashing and swiping her sword from right to left then crisscross.
Sending out lightning blades towards the three mothers, who immediately jumped and rolled out of the way from the attacks! With Kushina in a kneeling position, quickly going through her hand signs "Water Style: Liquid bullet!" exclaimed Kushina.
Who inhaled a lot of air and began firing off, bullets of water from her mouth. As they soar straight at Ameyuri, who jumped away from the first water bullet. Then the next one, breaking each branch she was standing on.
Ameyuri was about to go into her weapon pouch, too thrown some ninja tools. Only too whipped her head up, and purposely dropped backwards. Avoiding Usari's senbons that thump against the tree branches!
"Damn they are very coordinated!" thought Ameyuri as she hissed out, from guarding two punches that were aimed for her chest. From both Kurra and Kushina, that had the woman flying backwards from the spot.
Ameyuri quickly retaliated by grabbing Usari, dive kick. Causing the mother too let out a yelp from being spun around and slamming against the nearby tree bark. She then hissed in pain, from Ameyuri knee kicking into her back and then using her too jump safely down to a low level branch.
Sliding against the wood and breaking it apart, by slamming her two swords into it. Breathing lightly and gasping out slight air. "They're good…very good. Never have I been this anxious or excited to fight such opponents!" Ameyuri thought, licking her lips.
Watching the two mothers reaching Usari and before they could react in time… "Lightning style: Bursting electric!" called out Ameyuri. Clashing both swords together and sliding them together, charging up a big orb of electricity and firing it toward the mothers!
In which all three of them let out screams of pain, and flying in three different directions. When the orb exploding on them and expand outward. With Kurra flying towards the left, breaking through about three different branches and landing hard into the ground!
While for Usari who was flinching and gritting through her teeth, is sticking on the tree bark. She then fell forward with a hard thump, bouncing a bit on the ground. Coughing and gasping for air, as well feeling static electricity all over her body. Even feeling some of her limbs going numb, as she tried with enough force of will…
Move her head up and away from the ground, trying to look for where Ameyuri is. Only seeing the swordswoman foot in front of her, as she then shifted her gaze up. In which was a mistake, seeing how the scowl on Ameyuri face was one of…pain and promise of a slow torture.
"Told you three I never miss, even with your plans of having bone like pikes. Sticking out from the ground to behave like rods?" started Ameyuri, who knelt down in front of Usari, using the tip of her sword. Too lift up the woman's chin, having her close one eye. "Is a great idea…too bad I had more than just lightning bolts too fight my enemies." She stated with a cackle, and slammed Usari face into the ground.
Having the mother groan out in pain as she felt the swordswoman tightly holding her hair… Pushing and shoving her more and more into the dirt, making Usari to hold back cries of pain! Twisting and grinding her face in the dirt.
"So where did all of that confidence go huh!" shouted Ameyuri, only to then shout out in pain. From a flying ninja star landing right into her right shoulder! Forcing too letting go of Usari, as Ameyuri then glared over to where her attacker is...
The attacker was none other than Kushina, who is breathing and panting lightly. Still in her throwing position when she tossed the stars. "I am the one you're after! Not her Ameyuri!" Shouted Kushina, who then turned around, fleeting toward the open area of the forest.
Ameyuri smirked as she pulled out, the three ninja stars and threw them into the ground. "Stay put…I usually have dessert after the main course." Explained Ameyuri too Usari, as the swordswoman jump towards the trees and gave chase once more! Following right behind Kushina!
Leaving Usari on the ground for later, as Usari grunted out and rolled onto her back. Panting and breathing heavily, from feeling the static of electricity slowly leaving her body. She then closed both eyes and praying to Kami, that Kushina will be successful in this mission of theirs…
"Kurra…if you can please come and help me out?" asked Usari through gasping breaths. Hearing rustling from couple bushes away, the mother then heard what sounded like small coughing fits. Coming from Kurra as the Kaguya clan mother is dragging her one leg on the ground, and walking slowly over too Usari.
Helping the mother up from the ground, she then wrapped her right arm. Over her shoulders, keeping her upright "You doing okay Usari?" asked the mother. In which Usari nodded her head with a small chuckle, as well as giving a small thumbs up.
"Yeah…ugh I am fine, but right now. Let's try and catch up with Kushina." Usari explained which Kurra hummed out in agreement. As she then jumps up to the tree branches, jumping and using them too lead them towards the open area of the forest. Where flashes of blue light can be seen here and there, along with erupting water geysers!

Kushina let out a scream and flew right out from some bushes, with her arms protecting her chest. Bouncing and sliding against the grassy ground on her sides. Breaking up the dirt and such, all the while feeling static electricity coursing through her entire body!
Gasping and breathing heavily, as Kushina could feel some blood dripping out from her arms and mouth. She gently and with flinching movements, pulled her arms away from her body. Having her arms sprawled out in front of her and laying limp on the grass…her vision blurring and coming back into view.
Watching Ameyuri, who is also somewhat hurt and injured. Has bruises and cuts here and there, as she is slowly walking through the bushes with harsh breathing. But still holding onto that confident smile of hers, as she lazily drags both of her swords against the ground…
"Okay I damn as well now have to admit…Uzumaki Kushina, you are one crazy and psycho girl. Using all of those traps and bombs on both, you and me? While at the same time, forcing yourself too getting hit by my jutsu? Just to activate one of your own nearby?" explained Ameyuri.
The swordswoman could not deny it anymore! This woman is definitely a worthy opponent and ninja she has ever faced! She mentally giggled "Dare I say she definitely earned that title of Uzukage. No doubt in my mind now, that she is definitely kage material." She told herself, as she began to take couple more steps forward. Only too pause and hitch in a painful hiss, watching Kushina slowly getting up from her spot.
Chuckling and laughing painfully out, as she is hunched over and hanging off from her knees. Ameyuri then lowered her gaze as she is about done with this little game of hers. As well as not wanting her two friends, coming and interfering anymore.
"What is so funny meat?" Ameyuri asked, as she lifted up her swords. Then beginning to slide them up against one another, charging up another bursting electric jutsu! She then watched the mother standing up fully, and leaning herself back a bit too let out some calming breaths.
Kushina then smiled and wiped away the blood, from her chin. Still chuckling towards Ameyuri, as she spoke up in a slurred voice "You, you're what's funny Ameyuri! Going on and on of how you will defeat me, or kill me and my friends?" She started as she began walking backwards.
Watching in interest of how she is beginning to get under, the swordswoman skin. Watching the way she began swiping her swords much faster now, along with charging up more of her electric jutsu in those swords.
"But let's face it! You couldn't kill us even if you tried!" exclaimed Kushina, as she quickly jumps far away from a Bursting Electric bolt. Erupting and exploding when it made contact, to the ground. Creating a massive hole in front of Kushina, with a few pieces of the earth crumbling and rolling down the hole!
"Watch your mouth Uzumaki; I can so kill you and YOUR friends! I just decide not too on the account, it will ruin the fun!" Ameyuri exclaimed, while firing off another Bursting electric at Kushina. Only for it to miss and explode once more on the ground!
"I am sure that is the reason, but let's face it! You've lost your touch! There was many times where you could've killed us! But you didn't and you know why?" Kushina pushed, as she did two jumps this time. One too her left and then away from Ameyuri, who fired off two more Bursting Electric! Breaking and making more holes in the ground. Having Kushina smiling brightly as her last phase of the plan is working!
"Good couple more lightning jutsu and having her in the center. It will be all over!" thought Kushina. Watching in amusement of how angry and fuming Ameyuri is getting. Grinding those sharks like teeth of hers, and having her lightning element lifting her hair up from the electricity.
"Please do tell since you have me down to the tee! I am curious to know Uzumaki!" shouted Ameyuri, stopping just couple distance from Kushina. Having electricity sparking and cackling everywhere around her, as well as causing more holes in the ground around her…
In which Kushina smirked and is preparing her chakra chains, for the next attack. Ameyuri might do and that is her Thunderbolt jutsu. "Because you're weak, you know that once you killed me and my friends. You won't have anyone to enjoy this level of excitement!" She yelled out, while preparing herself. "Cause you know that once you kill us HIGHLY skilled Kunoichi's! You will be back too just, killing and murdering weaklings! That will not give the same amount of enjoyment, from us!"
Ameyuri gritted her teeth with a tsk…surprisingly Kushina is right! If she did kill her and her friends…there won't be another Ninja, who might give the same enjoyment level? That these three had given her tonight?
"Heh…your right nobody else will probably give the same excitement like you three." Ameyuri stated with a wide smile, having fully charged her electricity. Getting Kushina to smile widely as well "But that's the fun about hunts? You hunt them down, hope they give you a good time and move onto the next!" continued Ameyuri, as she lifted up one sword high above her head.
"It's been quite the pleasure Kushina Uzumaki, after the fun time you gave me my sweet ramen treat? I am deeply going to regret killing you, and your friends." She said. Getting her second sword up from the ground and faced it at the Uzumaki mother.
"I'm sure there are still surprises left in me and my friends Ameyuri." Kushina stated with a riddle. Making Ameyuri to roll her eyes, and shook her head left and right. As she then faces the second Kiba sword of hers, at Kushina.
"I doubt it considering now that I have to kill you." Ameyuri said with shrug of her shoulders. Smirking and looking at her with a sinister grin. "No big deal, just business and being of a ninja. You understand right?"
"Oh I understand fully, hit me with your best shot!" Kushina called out, as she quickly slammed her hands together. Going through a bunch of hands signs, with everything slowing around her and Ameyuri! With the Thunderbolt jutsu activating, and shooting down from the sky and into the first sword!
Then traveling towards the second sword, and shooting out a stream of electricity straight at Kushina. As well as creating a small lightning like dome around Ameyuri. In which is breaking and crumbling the ground underneath her. "Secret Technique: Chakra Chains!" shouted Kushina.
The ground surrounding Kushina rumbled and broke apart, sending out tons of gold like chains. Whipping and thrashing all over the place. As they then began coiling and surrounding the mother, in a protective like dome. Making sure that she is covered from head to toe, shielding her from all range of attacks.
In which Ameyuri widen her eyes in pure shock! As her Thunderbolt slammed right up against the golden chains, only to then get thrown in another direction away from Kushina! Unarming her! "How the hell did you!?" she went to say, as she took a step forward.
Only too then let out a frightening scream, as the earth under her. Began breaking apart and opening up beneath her, feeling her entire body being pulled down into the earth! "The hell is going on!?" shouted Ameyuri in actual fear, trying everything in her strength. Too pulling herself out of the ground, by grabbing her legs and rocking her body in many directions…
"You see Ameyuri? You may have thought that you've gotten us? But in fact, we are the ones who got you and learn everything about your Lightning jutsu." Announced a muffled voice belong to Kushina. As the mother then revealed herself by canceling out her Chakra chains, by having them unwrapped around her and disappeared.
Breathing and panting heavily and sweating, from using up a lot of stamina. From running and avoiding the swordswoman from the village, and the forest!
Kushina then lean her upper body backwards, sucking in a lot of air. Then exhaling it out, as she grins up to the now sinking Ameyuri, who is franticly trying to break free! Feeling the mud and the earth, incasing up too her calf and thighs.
Ameyuri then whipped her attention up towards the grinning Uzumaki, as well as growling. "Oh come now don't be a spoil sport! You should've known that the open area, of the woods? Would be a trap I mean seriously, why you think all three of us tried our hardest? Too lead you here hmm?" Kushina hummed out with a smirk, leaning forward a bit. Now mocking the sinking swordswoman, who thrashed her body forward!
"You…you…" she couldn't make an argument, or cuss the Kunoichi out! Kushina in all her rights had every reason to brag about her brilliant plan! Ameyuri just could not think of a comeback! "…you are one very cunning Kunoichi you know that?" Ameyuri finally admitted with a soft chuckle, feeling now her waist and pelvis sinking into the mud. Feeling it running up and through her pant legs, and waistband…shivering from the cold feeling of the mud entering places she did not want it to enter.
Kushina couldn't help but smile and giggle, as she sighs out with a nod "Trust me Ameyuri; it took me almost all day to set up and plan this trap of ours." The red head mother said honestly, while crouching down and facing the sinking woman. Who blinked her eyes in confusion, as she just stared confusingly at the mothers smile?
"Also don't worry about drowning by quicksand. I made sure that Kurra check over this sinking hole would not kill you. Though you will be very muddy…" Kushina chuckled out, while rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. Earning a small giggle from the swordswoman, as she felt her stomach and abs were sinking into the muddy earth now, hissing a bit. As it was starting to become harder to breathe...
Ameyuri then blinked her eyes, when the other two mothers. Jumped from behind their bushes and appearing next too Kushina, breathing and gasping lightly. Having those confident smiles of theirs painted on their faces… "Alright then if you're not here to kill me? Or using my family photo, for bounty money…then what is it that you want?" Ameyuri asked, lifting her head up a bit. So her mouth wouldn't be touching the muddy earth.
As she then blinked her eyes a bit as well having Déjà vu? When she watches Kushina giggling a bit and smirking confidently at her, as well as thumbing against her own chest… "What we want from you is that, you join our village! We could really use someone of your expertise! We even have Zabuza in our village, ready to become a sensei. Of our first Genin team!" explained Kushina.
Making Ameyuri to widen her eyes and blink them a couple of times, of what she just heard?! "Wait…Wait a minute, did you just say! That Zabuza is in your village and willing to become a Sensei!?"Ameyuri asked in shock, as well couldn't believe of what she just heard?
Only confirmation she gotten from the red hair woman, is a firm nod. "Yup and if you want Ameyuri?" she hold onto the sentence, as well as looking at the woman with a smile. "You too can become a sensei if you want…Or even teach our ninja's, who are interested in Kenjutsu. Some of your silent techniques?" continued Kushina, while tilting her head a bit. "What do you say? What to become an official member of Uzushiogakure?" She asked the swordswoman.
Who just stare openly at Kushina, or should she say Uzukage. Asking her and willing to go through the lengths, of having her becoming an official member. As well as teaching any ninja's the way of the swords, and possibly having them inherit. Her silent ways of killing and sword techniques, even her lightning technique.
"…Can I choose any Genin or ninja I think, will be able to handle my training?" Ameyuri asked with a small smirk, while lowering one eye halfway. Getting the three mothers too looked at one another, with Kurra and Usari looking back at Kushina.
"I don't see why not Kushina, it will make things easier as well as." Usari started and smiled, when Kurra finished her sentence for her.
"Having Ameyuri searching through our ninja ranks, to see who are worthy of learning kenjutsu or not! Including any techniques she wants to share!" said Kurra excitedly, making Kushina and Ameyuri too chuckled out, with Kushina facing back too Ameyuri.
"Sure thing Ameyuri, but remember to be fair with some of them. We are just newly built village, and are just now re-teaching our Ninja's, back in the ways. So…will you come with us? Of course, after we get you cleaned up of course!" Kushina giggled out the last part, making Ameyuri to shake her shoulders in laughter.
She then raised her head up towards the skies, silently going through her thoughts…as well as the things. These three Kunoichi's just went through, in order to having her join them! Sure…she thought Kushina was a weirdo, when she announced that Uzushiogakure got reconstructed.
As well as being the Uzukage of said village…in all honesty in Ameyuri's defense? She literally underestimated the mother, and her friends. Thinking that they weren't really serious, and that they were pulling her leg!
But after everything she went through, and witness what Kushina and her friends had set up? They knew exactly what they were getting into, as well as the person they were facing…they really did study up on her and her jutsu, skills and tracking abilities.
Ameyuri closed her eyes softly and smiled "…matter of fact I don't mind at all of joining your village. It will definitely get the bounty hunters off my back." She then beamed a bright smile, looking up at the three. "Plus the full course meals you gave me, during all of this. Is astounding and made me very interested of what kind of surprise, you have in store for the ninja world! SO count me in Uzukage!" announced Ameyuri happily.
As she felt what would be bone structures, going underneath her? Pushing her right out of the muddy sinkhole and onto the surface, where Kushina happily helped their new comrade out of the mud. Wrapping an arm around her shoulders and patting her back, as they head on back to their hotels. With Kushina explaining everything Ameyuri, needed to know in order to be up to speed.
With their mission being a success and discovering a way of stopping Ameyuri, of her lightning jutsu! The three mothers and Ameyuri, head back too rest for the night and prepare themselves. For a long journey back to the land of waters! Where once they do return, the mothers will be in a surprise of their kids progress as well an attack that is heading too Uzushiogakure! Will the newly form team Zabuza be up for this surprise attack!?
