Ginchiko and Hidetada immediately took up their fighting stances as the Anbu surrounded them, surprise was evident on their features. Naruto too, acted surprised so as not to arouse suspicion from the two swordsmen, unsheathing his two Scimitars and taking up a defensive fighting stance.
The Mizukage laughed at their plight before looking at his Anbu captain. "Finish them!"
And just like that the area exploded into action.
Naruto stepped to the side to avoid the sword lunge the Anbu behind him attempted, and resisted the urge to just kill him outright. He had to use non lethal blows until one or both of his mist 'allies' were killed, that would be difficult, after all, instinct was a rather troublesome thing to resist.
Instead he swiveled around on his heel and bashed the ninja in the face with the but of his sword, shattering the porcelain mask.
The Anbu in front of him attempted a horizontal swing to his neck. Naruto batted the blade away with one of his scimitars, opening the Anbu's guard and delivering a solid kick which sent him flying back.
He used his other scimitar to block a strike from behind, twisting his arm over his head as he spun around, keeping the blade in place. Once he had fully turned he used his second blade, and stabbed the man in the foot, causing him to scream in pain and drop the sword. Naruto pushed in until his sword had not only completely gone through his foot, but dug in about five inches into the earth.
Ignoring the man's cries of pain Naruto left his blade in his foot and turned, catching another sword in his gauntlet. He pulled him in, and used that sword to block another Anbu's downward swing.
The Anbu pulled back his blade and attempted a thrust at Naruto's stomach. But was stopped as the blond kicked him in the face, and then kicked the other man who's sword he was holding with the same foot in the chest. He used the momentum of his second kick, to lean back, grab the sword he had left in the other man's foot, and flip over it. He pulled the blade out and leapt up to the trees as the Anbu were beginning to get their wits back as they chased after him.
As he ran Naruto realized something. 'If I can lure them away then I can kill them without Ginchiko or Hidetada realizing it. Then I can return and step in at my leisure.'
With his plan set, he sheathed his two blades and rushed through the forest.
Meanwhile back on the battlefield, Hinata was not having a good time. The Kiri kunoichi was faster than her, her movements wild and untamed in her crazed state, giving her a definite edge over the Hyuuga girl.
But the Juuken, a naturally defensive fighting style and her Byakugan were keeping her in the fight.
She took out two Kunai and began blocking and/or dodging the other girls strikes. She swerved, ducked and swiveled as she avoided the blows, pushing her reflexes and speed to her limits.
She blocked an overhead swing and pushed it over her head. She tried to use her other kunai to stab the girl. Mika avoided it by moving slightly to the side. She then kicked the Hyuuga girl in the stomach, sending her stumbling back until she hit a tree.
Hinata recovered in time to place her foot against the tree she hit and use it to leap over Mika as she lunged at her, stabbing one of her swords into the tree.
Hinata, not wanting her to gain her second blade again threw her two kunai while still in mid air, making the girl step aside, leaving her sword in the tree.
When the Hyuuga heiress landed she drew a single kunai and took to the offensive.
She came in with a quick swipe with her Kunai, which was blocked easily by the girls remaining sword, Hinata followed up the attack with three fast Juuken strikes one to the girls stomach and two to her chest
If Hinata was expecting some kind of reaction it was not what she received
Mika smirked as she coughed up blood, for a moment Hinata truly thought her to be utterly insane, but to the girls surprise she reared her free hand back, where she caught the barest reflection of light.
'Ninja wire, but what did she…THE SWORD!'
Just as the thought entered her mind the sight of the blade entered the visual range of her byakuugan, the deadly, glinting edge poised to impale her through the chest. It was coming in too fast to dodge.
"KAITEN!" The Hyuuga heiress yelled spinning around as the cyclone of energy exploded outwards, sending both the incoming blade and the Kiri kunoichi flying.
From his place in a nearby tree Kakashi was very impressed by his student. 'She know's how to think on her feet, sometimes in the heat of things you forget your abilities, she's managed to keep a level head throughout the whole thing, very impressive Hinata.
As the Hyuuga heiress ceased her spinning she barely managed to catch sight of the Kiri Kunoichi before she turned into a puddle of water.
'Mizu bushin, but when did she?'
Mika's form entered visual range of her Byakugan as the girl leapt down from a tree branch above her, her sword raised ready to make the killing blow. Hinata turned in time to catch the girls wrists as she dived. The Hyuuga fell on her back and lifted her legs, placing them on the girls stomach and…well, kicked, sending the girl clear over her head. Hinata flipped back, her legs now straddling the girls waist as she lifted her hand, and sent a Juuken strike toward her heart.
