Chapter 15:The White Fox

The group is currently still waiting and suddenly a group of shinobi approach the camp. "Hey, are you the squad who are waiting for us?", one of the shinobi asked. "Yes, we are squad 3 currently waiting for the remaining squad. Wait, why is there only 15 of you?", the shinobi asked. "Squad 7 decided to retreat they don't want to fight against a grandmaster-level shinobi", "Those cowards!". Suddenly an injured shinobi runs descending from the mountain approaches the camp. "What happen?", one of the shinobi asked. "Squad 6 and 9 has been attacked!", the injured shinobi answered. "Then we must hurry to help them", one of the shinobi replied. The injured shinobi suggests them to run but they refuse so all of the shinobi decides to ascend the mountain in a hurry hoping they could still have a chance to save them.

Nataro continues to sneak behind them. When they arrived all of the shinobi have been killed "Damn it! we are too late", one of the shinobi spoke in anger. "To avenge them we shall kill her!", one of the shinobi shouted. They continue to ascend the mountain for a few hours and decided to rest. "We almost reach the peak but I don't see her", one of the shinobi spoke. "She's probably already on the peak", a shinobi replied. But they still determined on killing the shinobi grandmaster.

Suddenly from above, a figure appears from the snow "Look above us!", a shinobi shouted. Suddenly the figure jumps down and attacks the group "Thats her, the grandmaster-level shinobi who killed 5 of our squads, The White Fox", one of the shinobi spoke. The White Fox wore two dual blades ,white kunoichi clothes, a white fox mask, and a cloak. She pulls out her blades and start to attack one of the shinobi. The shinobi has difficulty holding his blade against hers and the others try to attack her at the same time but she quickly dodges them, she then attacks 3 shinobi at the same time using her blades she cuts their swords and immediately cuts their head. The other shinobi throw their kunais onto her but she deflects all of the kunais back to them and 5 shinobi got killed by their own kunai. The remaining shinobi attacks her with their sword but she dodges it again, she then uses ninjutsu to summons ice and freeze their legs, she then immediately kills the remaining shinobi at ease.

Nataro watches in shock as suddenly she says "Show yourself I know you're hiding behind that rock". Nataro then shows himself and says "I don't want to fight I only seek for the artifact above", "But looks like only one of us can have it", she replied. She then immediately attacks Nataro with her blades but Nataro is able to block her attacks with his sword, Nataro tries to attack her but she dodges it as she uses her blades to attack Nataro but he is able to dodge it. Nataro then attack her with Hattori Kenjutsu Fire Style:Sea of Flames and creates a huge burst of flames but she is able to dodge his attacks. Nataro then attacks her with his sword but this time she blocks it with her blades, Nataro uses his burning blade to his advantage to get close to her and due to blade's heat it is able to weaken her. She then finally uses her blades and hit it against each other creating a shockwave that pushes Nataro away, then she immediately attacks Nataro. He blocks her attack but due to the damage that was cause by the shockwave the sword broke. Nataro then throw away his sword and decides to use his kunais as blades, he then charge to attack her but she blocks it with her blades. Nataro and The White Fox keeps attacking and blocking each other with their blades and finally she decides to use ninjutsu to freeze Nataro's legs but Nataro ignites his kunais with heat and destroys the ice.
