The Ten Tails (A Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 21

Akiko walked over at Reiki who was looking at her stoically.

"You can kill me if you want." He said and turned to face the air. Akiko looked at him and hugged him. Reiki blushed immensely as he began to panic.

"W-what are you doing!?" He yelled. Akiko immediately pierced a needle into his neck, causing him to pass out.

"Hm, this should do for about the rest of the time for the second exam." Then Akiko walked over and did the same for Shota.

"Kaisen, we're landing now." Akiko said as she spotted a cave for the two to stay while she explored.

"Yes my liege." The dragon said and landed softly by the cave and disappeared into the shadows. Akiko dragged the both of them into the cave and sealed it so no one could go in or out, only her or someone the level of a Jonin or higher.

Akiko walked into the forest once again in the bushes, concealing her chakra as she hid in the bushes.

Akiko POV

I wanna see some action. So boring...I thought. It was truly boring. I jumped and climbed towards the top of the tree and began to rest. I rested as I felt a familiar chakra, kurama. It was no doubt my father's. ....too lazy, he's got it.....but what if he doesn't..........but it's dad.......but Naruto might get hurt...dad can protect him..This went on for ages as I tried to think whether to go or not but decided to finally go.

"Sasuke-kun!" I heard Sakura scream as I ran through the wood, night had already fallen.

"Augh!" I heard Sasuke.

"You! What did you do to Sasuke?!" Sakura yelled.

"I gave him a parting gift.." A voice said.

"Sasuke will come to me looking for power. I enjoyed seeing your display of your chikara......you are most definitely his brother..." The voice then disappeared as Sakura and Sasuke came to sight.

"Akiko!" Sakura yelled.

"I'm here!" I said as Sasuke began to scream in agony. I ran over to him.

"Hold on Sasuke." I said as he screamed more and fell onto me. Sakura began to cry.

"What...what should I do..." She said. I placed Sasuke down and went to get Naruto who was stuck on a tree.

"Sakura." My angelic voice rang in her ears as she looked at me.

"You should have some rest. I'll take over for you. You've done enough." I said and smiled.

3rd POV

The night was soon over as the next day came in. Something was not quite right. Akiko soon felt sleepy as Sakura awoken.

"Mm......Akiko, I'll take over for you..." Sakura said sleepily. Thank goodness, because Akiko was really sleepy, 2 things can happen if she doesn't get enough sleep.

1) Easily irritated to the point that she could blow up a whole village

2) Will sleep for as long as she can. 2 weeks at best

So best choice right now is let her sleep. Although no one knows about this since it has never happened. Akiko began her deep sleep, shutting off her guard believing that Sakura's got it.

Sakura POV

"So.....sleepy..." I said as I turned around quickly. I heard a rustle in the bushes. I quickly took out my kunai and held it, shaking.
