Tale of the Dual Hokages

Namikaze… Namikaze… Namikaze… Namikaze…

Akita shot up straight in bed. She had, had another dream about this boy. She sighed brushing her red hair out of her face. It was early morning and she was getting ready to head to the Academy to figure out who her team members and Jonin would be. She was excited. Although, she didn't want that Namikaze boy on her team. She wasn't scared of him or anything like that. He was just really obnoxious. She sighed. There was a knock on her door. "Who is it…?" she spoke quietly.

"It's your mother, Akita Uchiha." Her mother spoke with a small chuckle, as she pushed back some black hair. Akita opened her bed room door smiling up at her mother. Mikoto Uchiha, patted her daughters head. She looked over at her crying baby brother. Akita smiled and walked over picking baby Itachi up, little knowing what her baby brother would come to when he was older.

She walked downstairs carrying baby Itachi, who was playing with his sisters unnatural bright red hair. Akita was different from her entire family. Unlike them, she had red hair, and purple gold eyes. You wouldn't think this would have happened to a child of the Uchiha Clan. She knew she was different. She didn't care. "Alright Akita, I think it's time you head to school. Your father and I will see you at home honey." Mikoto, smiled as Akita set her brother down in his high chair. She kissed her mother and fathers cheek before leaving.

Akita walked into the academy and took a seat. She heard a commotion going on at the door. She looked up just in time to see Minato Namikaze walk into the room. He looked at her and smiled. She rolled her eyes turning her head away from him. She heard several laughs. She turned slightly seeing Minato smirking at her. She growled narrowing her eyes. "Alright Namikaze. Whatever the hell you're doing. You had better stop." She smirked back her eyes turning red with the sharingan. The blonde boy backed down. "Good. She sat back down her eyes returning to their normal color. Minato took his seat behind her as their Sensei walked into the room. The class grew quiet.

"Alright the last team will be. Touji Mizuki, Uchiha Akita, and Namikaze Minato." Akita growled as she heard his name. The Sensei looked up. "Mizuki, Akita, Minato, Your sensei has asked that you meet him in the training grounds right away. Now, all of you may be on your way. I congratulate you all for graduating! I'm proud of every one of you!" With that they all went their separate ways. She made her way to the training grounds.

She sat on a log, her eyes closed as she waited for her teammates and sensei. "Uchiha… get down here. Sensei's coming on up." She looked down to notice Minato staring at her. She jumped down landing on her feet quietly. Mizuki, Minato and Akita waited for another 5 minutes.

A tall white-haired man walked up to the three teammates. "Hello, you must be my new team. My Name is Jiraiya. What are your names?" Jiraiya looked at all of them.

Mizuki stood up smirking. "My names Touji Mizuki." He sat back down with a sigh.

Next up was Minato. She covered her ears before he could speak. "I'm Namikaze Minato! I will be Hokage of this village one day!" He grinned.

Akita sat back where she was before speaking. Her voice flat and a tad venomous. "Uchiha Akita." She closed her eyes. Minato watched her.

Jiraiya looked at the young Uchiha girl. 'Hmm… so an Uchiha. She must be the Uchiha's weapon… I wander…' he smirked as he quietly grabbed two kunai from his pouch. He tossed them at her, faster than the eye could possibly see. The girls hand struck out quickly her eyes still closed as the kunai hooked around her fingers. 'She truly is remarkable… just what you would expect from a weapon.' He looked at the two boys' whose faces were horror stricken. "Anyway, let's begin shall we?" Jiraiya grinned pulling out two bells. "Whoever doesn't get a bell will be tied to the stump over there and will go without lunch. On my mark, Get set, Go!" The three genin jumped off in different directions. Akita went her own was, as the two boys stayed together to plan.

Akita made her way quietly towards the awaiting Sennin. She was quiet with her approach. She took out a kunai, and slung it at the man. The kunai sliced a bell from his side. She kicked off the ground grabbing the bell, a flash of red hair moving by the man as she grabbed the bell. The Sennin was surprised.

"I'm guessing that was Akita. Seeing as the other two have completely disappeared. Good job Akita. You will definitely make a fine Kunoichi." Jiraiya smiled down at the girl. She seemed to have smiled back.

They both waited for hours before the boys decided to attack. Akita and Jiraiya had decided to make a plan to scare them both. As the boys stopped in front of the Sennin, Jiraiya had his hand wrapped tightly around Akita's neck with a smirk.

Minato's eyes were wide. "N… No… Akita! Let her go you fool!" Minato watched as the Sennin began to crush the young Uchiha girls' throat. Jiraiya gave a hearty laugh as Minato jumped at him a kunai in his hand. Jiraiya easily knocked him away, as Mizuki came up behind the man grabbing the bell. Mizuki realized that there was only one bell, then looked at Minato and shrugged. Jiraiya let go of the girl and clapped.

"Congrats to both of you for getting the bells." He looked to Mizuki and Akita. Minatos' mouth dropped as Jiraiya tied him to the tree stump.

Akita smirked. "Whats wrong Namikaze…"

"Shut it Uchiha… I was worried about you… I thought he was going to kill you…" He looked away from her. She rolled her eyes.

5 years later

A blade struck out slicing Akita's shoulder wide open. There was a terrible blood curdled scream as she fell back into a tree. It was 50 against 1. She was no match, and her teammates were nowhere to be found. 'There dead. Alright! There dead Akita! Get your head in the game girl!' she growled grabbing her pole, her eyes turning to that of the sharingan. "Amaterasu!" Black flames spun around her pole and out at the ninja, burning them all to a crisp. She spun the pole around in her hands as more ninja appeared in front of her. A foot came around knocking the pole out of her hands, then kicking her in the stomach. She flew backwards off the side of the cliff. She reached out to grab the side of the cliff but missed. She fumbled for a kunai in her pouch as she grew nearer to the ground below. 'I hope this works… if not… I'm dead…' She slung it at the ground. As the kunai collided with the ground a flash of yellow appeared under her.

Minato Namikaze looked up as blood hit his face. His eyes grew wide. "AKITA!" he jumped off the ground grabbing his teammate landing back on the ground with ease. "Oh god… Akita are you alright?" he laid her on the ground seeing the extent of her injuries. He growled. "Dammit… come on Akita… wake up… please wake up… I can't lose you. MIZUKI! Over here!" Mizuki ran to Minato and Akita's side.

"Minato what happened?" he looked at Minato for an answer. Minato hesitated before answering.

"I… I don't know what happened…" Minato growled picking her up carefully, letting her head fall against his chest. "Come on Mizuki… we're going back to the village. She's in critical condition." Minato stared at his fallen comrade's battered body. 'Not this… please dear god… don't let it end like this…' Mizuki nodded as him and Minato left for the hidden leaf village.

Minato looked down again as she began to move around. She slowly opened her eyes. "Nyu…" she looked at him. Her eyes bleeding. "M… Minato…" She winced. He set her down carefully.

"Hey… you're alright. Mizuki and I are here…" He watched her as she stood up grabbing her shoulder. "Akita… please… you're injured… you'll only hurt yourself more…" he spoke with a different tone. She heard this, as she looked down. He continued to watch her.

"Mizuki, Minato… g… get behind me… d… don't… stop me…" she performed several difficult hand signs. Minato's eyes went wide as he saw them. He tried to stop her but Mizuki pulled him back shaking his head. Minato growled watching his wounded teammate, the women he's loved since they met in the Academy slowly and painfully, nearly kill herself. His memories went back to the first day they had met.

Minato walked into his class room. He was smiling. Then his eyes rested on a pretty young girl. She was of the Uchiha clan. Although she looked different, he knew she was one of them. He walked up to her. "Hello… I'm Namikaze Minato… what's your name?" he asked with a brilliant white smile.

She looked at him with those beautiful purple golden eyes. He melted right into them. "Uchiha Akita…" She watched the young Namikaze boy. She smiled lightly at him; her smile was beautiful, as he returned her smile. "Would you like to sit with me Minato…?" she asked him patting the empty seat next to her. He nodded taking the seat.

Akita placed her hands out to the side as 8 different dragons appeared around the ninjas. "Ninja Art: Dragon's Rage Destruction…" her voice was hoarse; as the dragons started to attack she spun around ignoring her complaining shoulder making several more hand signs. "Earth Style: Underground Protection!" She slammed her hands into the ground as the two boys were dragged underground. She turned back to her dragons as they started to explode. If she lived through this, she would be in serious pain and probably on the verge of death. She gritted her teeth as she thought about her teammates, her sensei, and her parents.

All 8 dragons exploded as she was thrown back her head colliding with a rock as several kunai stabbed into her body from the blow the ninja's had taken. Their weapons had been thrown out in several different directions. Blood rained down as her teammates were released from Underground. She stood up as she saw them. She coughed up blood her hand flying to her chest where a kunai lay almost piercing her heart. She slowly removed it letting the blood flow from her body. Mizuki and Minato ran to her aid.

"Dammit… Akita… don't die on us… please…" Minato picked her up careful of her injuries. "Come on Mizuki! We have to get her to the hospital now!" Mizuki nodded as they both stood up rushing their injured member to the Leaf Village hospital.

After an hour of running they finally came to the gates of the Hidden Leaf. Mizuki looked up. "Jiraiya-Sensei!" Mizuki had that scared look on his face as he looked at the badly beaten girl, who was near death, and his best friend Minato who was staring at her.

Jiraiya looked at her and nodded. "Come on. Tsunade's in the hospital right now. She'll help her." He waved the boys to follow him as he ran towards the hospital.

The three of them raced into the hospital just as Tsunade came out of the back. She looked at her teammate then at the girl. She nodded motioning them towards the back. Jiraiya took Akita from Minato and ran back with Tsunade. "Minato, Mizuki, stay up here. Jiraiya will be back in a moment." Tsunade had a sad look on her face, as if she already knew the outcome of what was going to happen to their teammate.

Jiraiya walked back to the front after talking with Tsunade. He sat down next to his boys and looked at them. They we're both in pain for what would happen to their teammate. "Boy's… Tsunade's… doing everything she can for Akita, but… she doesn't think Akita will make it. Not with how serious her injuries are. If Akita does die boys… you have to move on." He watched them.

Minato couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up, pain and anger showing all over his face. "HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM ABOUT THIS JIRAIYA-SENSEI! SHE'S ONE OF YOUR ON! YOU TOLD US YOURSELF THAT IF SHE EVER DIED YOU WOULD NEVER GET OVER IT! YOU LIED TO US! SHE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU IF YOU TELL US TO MOVE ON! YOU'RE NOTHING SENSEI! YOU'RE NOTHING!" Minato screamed in frustration. He couldn't stand to listen to what his teacher had said. Mizuki tried to get him to calm down, but nothing seemed to work. "No… Mizuki… if…" tears came to his eyes. "If Akita dies… I'll never forgive myself… I love her…" he broke as he let the tears slide down his face.
