The tense atmosphere around them crackled with energy as both sides braced for battle. Naruto clenched his fists, determined to protect his friends and complete their mission. Hinata's eyes were filled with resolve, her hands glowing with chakra as she prepared to defend her teammates. Koushin, his face set in grim determination, raised his hands in a defensive stance, ready to face the vengeful Uchiha.

Koushin turned to Kakashi, his expression resolute. "Sensei, stay back and save your chakra. It's time to show you how much Team 7 has improved." He then addressed Hinata and Naruto, his voice steady and full of purpose. "To defeat the resurrected, we have to seal them; otherwise, they'll keep regenerating."

Hinata and Naruto nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. They would take on the other two Uchiha, while Koushin would battle with Inabi.

Hinata faced her opponent, Taiseki, determination shining in her eyes. As she prepared for battle, she channeled her chakra, infusing it with her Water Release. With her Gentle Fist technique at the ready, she allowed the water to flow around her body like a graceful, deadly dance.

Taiseki sneered at Hinata, clearly underestimating her abilities. "You think your pretty little water tricks will stop me? Pathetic."

Hinata's eyes narrowed, her resolve unwavering. "My abilities are not to be taken lightly."

With a burst of speed, Hinata launched herself at Taiseki, her hands glowing with chakra. Taiseki responded in kind, his Sharingan eyes flickering as he attempted to predict her movements.

As they clashed, Hinata gracefully maneuvered around Taiseki's attacks, her Water Release creating an elegant and fluid dance that left her opponent struggling to keep up. She struck at his chakra points, her Gentle Fist technique precise and controlled.

Taiseki gritted his teeth, frustration mounting as he found himself unable to land a solid hit on Hinata. He attempted to use his Fire Release to counter her Water Release, but the fluidity of her movements made it difficult for him to land a decisive blow.

Hinata sensed an opening and swiftly closed the distance between them, her hands glowing with chakra as she aimed a strike at Taiseki's chest. He managed to dodge at the last moment, but Hinata's Water Release followed her movements, slashing at him like a whip and leaving a deep gash in his side.

Taiseki hissed in pain, his anger flaring. "You'll pay for that, girl."

Undeterred, Hinata continued her assault, her dance of water only growing more intense and focused. She could feel Taiseki's chakra weakening with each successful strike, but she knew she couldn't afford to let her guard down. With the knowledge that he would regenerate if she didn't seal him, she began to weave the necessary hand signs for a sealing technique.

Seeing Hinata's hands move, Taiseki realized her intentions and launched a desperate counterattack, a barrage of fireballs hurtling towards her. But Hinata's water danced around her, intercepting the flames and dousing them before they could reach her.

As the last of the fireballs fizzled out, Hinata saw her opportunity. She lunged at Taiseki, her hand outstretched and glowing with chakra.

Hinata, her hands glowing with chakra, formed the last hand sign necessary for her technique. "Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven!" she shouted, her voice ringing with determination.

As she spun, her chakra-laden hands released a torrent of water, which swirled around her in a dome, enveloping both her and Taiseki. The sheer force of the water kept her opponent at bay, preventing him from retaliating.

Taiseki's eyes widened as he realized what was happening, his anger turning to desperation. "You won't get away with this!" he snarled, trying to break free from the water's grasp.

But Hinata was unyielding, her concentration unwavering. She focused her chakra into the water, causing it to slowly freeze, trapping Taiseki in a prison of ice. As the last of the water solidified, Hinata formed the necessary hand signs and channeled her chakra into the ice, sealing Taiseki within.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice heavy with sorrow. "But I can't let you continue down this path of hatred."

Meanwhile, Naruto faced off against Muku, his eyes filled with determination. He grasped the hilt of his sword, channeling his chakra to add Wind Release to the blade. The wind followed each of his slashes, increasing both the range and sharpness of his attacks.

Muku sneered at Naruto, undeterred by his opponent's skill. "You think your wind tricks will be enough to defeat me?" he taunted, his Sharingan eyes flickering menacingly.

Naruto's expression remained steadfast. "I'll show you just how strong I've become!" he declared, lunging forward with his sword.

The two fighters clashed, their weapons clashing and sparking with each strike. Naruto's Wind Release gave him an edge, but Muku's Sharingan allowed him to predict and counter many of his attacks.

In an attempt to overwhelm Muku, Naruto used his Kage Bunshin technique to create multiple shadow clones, each wielding a wind-enhanced sword. Muku's eyes widened as he realized he was now facing an army of Narutos, but he quickly regained his composure.

"You'll have to do better than that!" Muku shouted, launching a barrage of fireballs at the clones.

However, Naruto had anticipated this reaction. As the fireballs made contact with his clones, they exploded, using his Clone Explosion Jutsu to create a series of devastating blasts that forced Muku on the defensive.

While Muku was distracted, Naruto moved in for the attack, utilizing a series of Wind Release techniques to keep his opponent off balance. He sent gusts of wind slicing through the air, forcing Muku to dodge and weave to avoid being cut.

Muku's frustration was palpable as he struggled to counter Naruto's relentless assault. "You may be strong, but you're still no match for me!" he spat, his voice shaking with anger.

Naruto's eyes narrowed, his determination unwavering. "I won't give up, no matter what!" he shouted, continuing his barrage of Wind Release attacks.

As the battle raged on, Naruto noticed Muku's movements becoming slower and more labored. Sensing an opportunity, he increased the intensity of his attacks, pushing Muku to his limits.

Finally, Naruto saw an opening and leaped forward, his wind-enhanced sword aimed directly at Muku's chest. Muku's eyes widened in surprise as he realized he couldn't dodge in time, and Naruto's blade found its mark, cutting a deep gash into his opponent's body.

Before Muku could regenerate, Naruto quickly used Earth Release to create a stone tomb around him. Channeling his chakra, he sealed Muku within, ensuring he wouldn't be able to break free.

At the same time, Koushin and Inabi began their own battle. Inabi was a formidable opponent, with his Sharingan and expert-level Fire Release techniques combined with Earth Release. However, Koushin was not one to be intimidated.

Inabi glared at Koushin, his eyes filled with hatred. "You think you can defeat me? You're just a foolish child!"

Koushin simply smirked, not taking Inabi's words to heart. "Oh, come on, is that really the best you've got? I was hoping for a bit more of a challenge."

This only served to enrage Inabi further, and he launched a powerful Fire Release technique at Koushin. But Koushin was prepared, using his own Fire Release to counter the attack.

"You might be a powerful Uchiha, Inabi, but let's see how you handle my Rasengan variations!" Koushin taunted, a playful glint in his eyes.

Inabi's expression darkened as he prepared to face Koushin's onslaught. "You'll regret underestimating me, brat."
