Tsunade was up in her office working on her overdue paper work it was just another day for her. She sat mumbling at her desk until Shizune burst in screaming causing the fifth to smear ink on one of the documents. "Shizune... you best have a good explanation for this" Shizune was exhausted so just handing something to Tsunade then panted heavily. The Hokage had been handed a small paper message "This is from the village of sand isn't it?" Shizune simply nodded as Tsunade tore into the letter.

As she read her eyes widened "Oh no, do we have tabs on Naruto at this moment?" again the other woman nodded once more "Good bring him back here right now!" Shizune bowed and left the room. Tsunade slammed the letter down and placed her hand over her chocolate eyes "the one day I want to do paper work!"

MEANWHILE&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*

Naruto circled Akiko and she the same both lock in each other's eyes "you're so gunna regret picking a fight with me" called out Naruto. Akiko smirked then dove forward making more hand sighs she called out more never her of Justus's "Leaf blitz!" and millions of sharp green leafs shot out leaving Naruto pinned to one of the log posts "Really now Naruto I think I've got the upper hand" boasted Akiko.

Naruto sulked then suddenly showed a large grin and poof he disappeared into thin air 'damn a clone!'

Sakura sat forward more interested in the fight now 'where are you at Naruto!' that was when he burst from behind Akiko and tried to punch her in the back. Despite his speed she was faster, twisting she swiped his hand away with her right and punched him in the gut with the left. It wasn't hard enough to push him to the ground but the wind was knocked out of him. He leapt back and smirked forming fast hand signs then realising his jutsu "Multi shadow clone jutsu!" poof, poof and many more poof's later Akiko was surrounded by Naruto's in the hundreds.

"By the seasons!" Akiko lowered to the ground then jumped up high into the sky. The many Naruto's leapt along with her each reaching out to grab her. She used each as a spring board propelling herself higher into the sky then once more unfamiliar hand signs were made by her, she gathered her chakra then realised it "canapé hurricane!" she spun in mid air and was surrounded by yellows, oranges and red. A large wind was produced sending the gathered leaves into the Naruto's down below.

One by one they disappeared into nothingness until not one was left, then using the last of the gust of wind she floated to the ground. She waited for Naruto to pop out of nowhere but instead he didn't pop out of anywhere. She waited and waited but nothing.

"Naruto!" there was no answer was he gone "you scared of being beaten up by a little girl!" still no answer he must have gone off "Sakura can you believe it?" again no answer "Sakura?" she was alone no one was there. "Guys, come on this isn't funny!"

SNAP!

It was a twig from the forest she turned to see a shadow in amongst the trees. Slowly the figure moved forward into the light it was cloaked in black hood material she couldn't even see their face "Who are you? What do want? NARUTO!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. The figure started to walk toward her holding out its arms "Akiko" the figures voice was similar "Oh thank the seasons your alright!" she knew this person coming toward her, could it be. Akiko smiled a little as tears formed "Is it you?"

She was about to dash forward but something stopped her in her tracks. That something was a person's arms the figure bolted forward but it was too late a teleportation jutsu had been performed and Akiko was gone.

The figure shock violently "No!"

Akiko blinked then she was in the office of the Hokage herself. It was a shock at first 'what the hell' she thought. Naruto was there and so was sakura both stood still in front of the head woman's desk.

She stood there with her hands on the desk "we have a problem" those were her first words to the three.

"Is it the Akatsuki?" Naruto asked specking firmly lady tsunami shock her head "I don't know?" sakura stepped forward "M'lady is that why we were brought here by the Anbu?" Akiko turned to find the same people from before dressed in animal masks she turned back to the desk.

"The only information I have is that three hooded figures were spotted in the village of sand, apparently no fight broke out and due to Gara's current condition it wouldn't have been good for the village." The room was silent for a moment then Tsunade continued "They were spotted one night then gone the next but oddly the village of sand was covered... in snow!" Akiko's ears burned at that last part so she spoke up.

"There after me!" Tsunade looked at her with burning eyes "I know who they are!"

"Shut up!" screamed Tsunade the room went cold "All I need to know is that they are after you. Sigh, you'll be placed under observation and twenty four hour protection until I know exactly who these people are and what they want with you" she sat down at her desk and started writing. "You don't need to do that, I know –" Tsunade cut her off "Enough I have to make preparations to great our guests!"

Akiko was getting worked up by this situation "But I'm trying to tell you-"

"Akiko enough just leave it to me!"

"Why so you can mess it all up!" Akiko was turning red with rage

"Young lady I am by far the worst person to piss off!" Akiko went silent and the fifth returned to her paper work "bloody stupid kids, not worth the effort"

Naruto stood there gulping down with each of Akiko's outbursts and when at last she stopped talking he was able to sigh a little in relief. "Well Akiko I'll take you to the safe house!" he shouted breaking the tension.

"Who's it safe when you know about it?" Akiko wasn't looking at him but just glared at Tsunade who lifted her head and smirked "You should pull such an ugly face it could stay like that"

BANG

Before she could chuckle Akiko had lifted her leg above her head and slammed it down on the desk, cracking it in two large chunks "How you calling ugly you old hag!" Tsunade was stunned; Naruto and sakura held each other in fear of what would come next.

Akiko moved her leg and turned her back on the Hokage "Don't waste your time on a stupid kid like me. I'll be on my way!" she flipped back and out of the window landing on the roof then she sped off into the distance.

Back in the office Tsunade came around to what had happened "That little brat!" she screamed standing in front of her now decimated desk. One of the Anbu stepped forward "Shall we retrieve her M'lady?" Naruto stepped up "No I'll get her she trusts me!"

"No" Tsunade lifted her hand up "I'll go and get her back personally" every one even the Anbu members trembled in fear.

Akiko was in the centre of the village when she stopped she felt enraged by what that 'damned woman had said' she thought vindictively as she slowed to a gentle walk 'maybe I over racketed, man big sis was right I have should have been born in summer' she was near the edge of the village by now.

"Akiko!" someone shouted her she spun around to find Tsunade staring viscously at her, her eyes burned with anger. "Come here right now you little shit!" Akiko was tempted to run off but her legs went numb and her head dizzy. Like a shot bird she froze for a moment a sudden feeling shot down her spine she felt a build up of unexplained energy growing in the pit of her belly like fire it rose and built until she could no longer bear it.

Tsunade slammed on Akiko's shoulder and turned her "All right you little shit I'm gonna-" she stopped in shock.

Akiko's eyes shone a bright orange that illuminated her pale skin Tsunade open mouthed stepped back from the girl who faced her head on. Akiko didn't seem like herself, she was a completely different person on the inside other than her eyes nothing was different. Yet her chakra was one of a godly aura.

"Who are you!" Tsunade backed off as the other ran to her side. Naruto jumped in front of her and walked cautiously to the possessed child.

"Akiko what's wrong?" he was only feet away from her but no answer fell from her lips.

"Come on kid you can tell me" still she remained silent

Naruto reached out to her with his hands "Akiko kyoya would want you to say what's wrong" then a reaction a sort of glint in her eyes Akiko was in there he just had to pull her out. Just centimetres away now, his hand flexed as he neared her wrist 'sod it' he rushed the rest of the way grabbing her but the next thing to happen was by far what he expected.

TBC~ isn't I a stinker
