In a valiant last effort Haruka had sought to grab the incoming blade with her bare hands only the problem was that it was coated in chakra. The lightning gave the sword far more cutting prowess and caused it to slice through her fingers unless she moved them in the last possible moment.

Her Sharingan had taken effect but it seemed like her current state of trauma made it impossible for her to use, or remember to, use the Dojutsu. She tried looking at the chakra inside the male, forgetting sharingan cannot look inside a person’s body. She seemed to have lost the ability of genjutsu which meant that the slashing blade would most likely cleave into her shoulder due to her repositioning.

Regardless, she proved her true vigilance in brute determination as she stood up an stabbed her unai straight through the man’s heart. He took one last breath, before using his sensing ability to check for his comrades in the cave leading to Izhi Yizhi, but they were all gone. “My comrades… May the Sons of Lightning live forever in my child…” And with his last words the man collapsed dead on the floor.

Zeshin rushed over to Haruka who’d now most likely see the scroll-bearing container on Zeshin’s back as he caught her just before she fell from passing out. Grabbing another small scroll from his pocket which he placed over her chest before activating it. He didn’t like what he had to do but now was the time as she had passed out. This small scroll on her chest turned into a glowing spider which entered her mouth, drained chakra from her stomach, and crawled back out and into the small scroll that Zeshin hid in his coat.

“I’m sorry. Forgive me” He said knowing she couldn’t hear him as he enforced the secondary mission he had been given to complete somewhere during the A-rank mission he did with Haruka. The ANBU always had sneaky plans to play and Zeshin, today, was but one of the instruments. He realized it, and hated it, but such was the shinobi way. “At least we finished the mission thanks to your efforts.” Zeshin hinted at the large scroll on his back that contained the missing hyuga scroll. He then smiled and in the blink of an eye they were back at the border village of the land of lightning, then in the village where they had eaten shark fin soup, and finally home in Konoha after three teleporting jumps through time and space; taking only a few seconds to get back in Konoha.

Haruka would wake up the next morning, if she had still been passed out, with a large bag filled with Ryo by her hospital bed. The mission rewards had been lucrative and bought her first class treatment. When she woke up all of her wounds would be gone except perhaps a few scars.
