The Ten Tails (A Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 33

Word of the third Hokages death went out as Sasuke and Akiko walked together to the funeral. She met up with the other two as they walked together to the funeral. The sky clouded as everyone from the village stood. Rain started pouring as the funeral started.

"Rain.....It seems that the heavens are also crying." Akiko said.

"We would now start the funeral for the third Hokage."

The rain fell harder as the pained cried.

------------------ (That's enough screen time for you old man. >:D)

The next morning sun shone as two men in black cloak and red clouds appeared. Akiko sat at the usual Dango shop, eating. She looked up at the clouds, a feeling bothering her. Akiko had more that enough time on her. Probably....a month... at best? Eh. She walked around, thinking about the things she needed to work on.

Akiko needed to know more higher level ninjutsu.

Kyudo (Archery)

Kenjutsu (The art of the sword)

Medical skills

And finally Jujutsu. (Martial arts of Defense and Offense.)

She walked around the village of Konoha and went to the training ground. Akiko walked over through the grass and felt a chakra presence and his behind the tree. She peeked through and saw a lady with a bow. The lady aimed for a target that was hung on a tree, spinning and jumping. The woman pulled back her bow, and shot it out, hitting the target right in the center.

"Come out, I know you're there!" She yelled. Akiko walked out of her spot. The woman looked at her as heart particles began to come out.

"UWAAAH! KAWAII~" She yelled as Akiko looked at her and smiled which made the lady nosebleed.

"How did you hit the target?" Akiko asked the woman.

"Hm? How about introductions first? I can be your sensei~ Kawaii-Chan~!" The lady said. The lady had goggled and brown hair to her shoulder. A red konoha headband also. The two walked to the Dango shop, eating and introducing themselves.

"My name is Nanako Mizuchi, what's yours?" Nanako said.

"Akiko." Akiko said. Nanako then once again had hearts in her eyes as she went to hug Akiko.

"Wow~! I'm a Sensei for such a cutie!" She said.

"Well..... you can be my Sensei. I need someone to teach me anyways. So what is my first lesson?" Akiko said.

"Well.....what are your strong points, things you need to work on, and other stuff." Nanako said. Akiko then told her the things she needed to work and her strong points a they walked towards the training field.

"Now, how about you start be attacking me." Nanako said.

"What?"

"Attack me." She repeated.

"Well.....ok. If you say so." Akiko said and out a kunai and launched at her. Nanako unsheathed her sword and blocked it and looked up at Akiko who disappeared. Then, when Nanako looked around, Akiko figured this was the chance and ran towards her. Pulling out her kunai and threw it at Nanako who deflected it with her sword. Nanako pointed the sword at Akiko who was nearing her and swung it. Akiko swiftly dodged and kicked her behind.

"Bushy Brow style. Heh." Akiko said and smirked. She took out a kunai. The sounds of metal clanging against each other rang. Nanako had a serious expression on her. Her movements were fluid and flowing. No stopping. Rhythmical. No slowing down.

There's no pattern...Akiko thought and began to sweat. The two pressured their weapon. Nanako then kicked Akiko a few yards away. She crashed into a tree and huffed, bleeding. The wounds began to regenerate.

"Nanako-Sensei. How did you do that?" Akiko asked.

"Do what?" (Bro- this is my mom.) She said.

"Like, you were like dancing and I couldn't find an opening or pattern." Akiko said and looked up at her sensei. She smiled and hugged Akiko.

"Awww~ My kawaii student has complemented me!" She said and stood up once again.

"We'll get to that. Right now, how about........ Ninjutsu? You probably know a few. I'll teach you a new technique."

"Really?!" Akiko said, now getting hyped up.

"Yep." Nanako said, putting her sword back and pulling out the bow and arrow that she was using earlier from her back. She aimed at a nearby tree. The arrow began to set on fire on the tip. She pulled it back and released it. The arrow hit the tree as the whole things set on fire.

"Amazing right?" Nanako said, smiling.

"...You should probably put it out before we get in trouble." Akiko said.

"Oh right! Water style: Water bullet!" Nanako said and the fire disappeared.

"Now, lets learn it. Is your chakra infinity fire?" She asked.

"Yea...actually, I can use all of them." Akiko said and looked at her palm. Nanako's eyes widened but gave a smiled.

"Now." She walked over to a table and setted down 2 apples. She then walked back and pulled out another arrow, handing it over to Akiko.

"Can you aim it to that?" Nanako asked.

"......but it's 13 yards away!" Akiko said. Her lazy butt could not handle this. Nanako laughed.

"Just try, kid." She said. Akiko breathed in and out.

"Ok." She aimed for the apple. She pulled back, and released the arrow. The arrow went soaring. Hitting the apple.

"Wow.. You're a natural!" Nanako said at Akiko who let her breath out.

"Do I need to hit the other one?" Akiko asked.

"Yep." Akiko then release another arrow at the apple, but this time, it missed by a few inches.

"Don't worry, sometimes you will miss." Nanako said as Akiko tried again, and once more. At third try, she finally hit it.

"Wow, I guess the third time really is the charm." She said.

"Now now, don't get too excited my kawaii student. You still have a lot to learn." Nanako said and poked Akiko's forehead. Nanako then took her bow and arrow.

"Look, you see that leaf over there?" She asked.

"Yea..."

"This technique can set anything you want on fire, but individually. So if I aim this at the leaf, only the leaf will set on fire. Not the tree or the others." She said. The arrow's tip got on fire as she released the arrow and it hit the leaf. Cutting through it, the leaf caught on fire as the fire died out.

"Now, you just work on your aim on that." Nanako said and pointed at a target that was further away from the apple. Akiko groaned.

"Then I'll be off!" Nanako said and went off to who-know-where.
