*A FEW DAYS LATER*

Akiko sat on the roof of the hideouts entrance, her eyes scanning the woods. They narrowed as three people emerged from the shadows. A dark-haired and a bald man held up a dying, light-haired girl. She disappeared with a whirl of red chakra.

"Lord Orochimaru, two men are bringing a girl to you." Akiko warned, the newcomers entering the room a moment later. The men laid their dying teammate in front of their master.

"Please your medical ninjutsu to save her. She doesn't have long to live!" The dark-haired man pleaded, earning a grimace from the red-haired Jinchuriki that stood behind her master.

"Put your hands to your chests and think. Think about what you weren't able to accomplish... alright?" Orochimaru seemed bored, not even bothered to worry about the groveling men.

"We risked out lives working for you. To help you, Lord Orochimaru. In order to restore the Fuma clan!"

"Please! Recognize our work!" The bald man exclaimed, desperation dripping off of his tone.

"You'll just have to atone for your failure with your bodies." Akiko narrowed her eyes as the two men looked at one another. They nodded, pulling out a kunai.

"Lord Orochimaru! I'm sorry for the betrayal!!" The golden-eyed man didn't move an inch as the men jumped at him. A flash of red appeared in front of him before the men laid dead on the ground.

"Idiots." Akiko's claws twitched as she looked at the men, her eyes moving to connect with her master's over her shoulder. She relaxed when he nodded, her glare disappearing. Hoping over the bodies, she observed the dying girl laid before Orochimaru. "It's unfortunate that she's on deaths door. She's cute, and she had potential." She could feel it in her waning chakra that she was strong. Her head snapped up, a small growl emitting from her throat.

"What is it?" Kabuto questioned, letting the hand that was propped against his hip fall to his side.

"There are people at the entrance."

"Who?" Orochimaru's eyes narrowed.

"Sakura and Naruto. And Jiraiya." She blinked a few times, her aggression fading quickly. "They're after Sasuke. A girl with long amber hair led them here."

"Sasame."

Dark purple eyes moved to the dead men. "Was she with them?"

"No, but they are apart of the same clan." Orochimaru moved to rest his cheek on his right fist. "Kabuto, stop anyone who makes it past the traps. It's unlikely that they will, but as a precaution. Akiko, accompany him. But don't attack unless they go after you first."

"Yes, sir." The girl smirked at her master before dashing out of the room.
