(A/N) It all ends here. TTDS ended yesterday, this ends today. Keep an eye out for the poll. It'll be up after the NFD one.
Akiko snapped the neck of a sand nin that got too close, scanning the stadium. Gai and Kakashi were tag-teaming across the stadium, the ANBU were alternating between providing assistance and getting the civilians out of there so they could begin the second stage faster. Luckily most people in the stadium were holding their own just fine, being mostly high ranking jounin. Few chuunin and genin had been allowed to attend the final round, with the intention of letting the jounin let loose a little without having to worry about some newbies.
Akiko personally was snapping a lot of necks, and impaling many people on her giant shuriken. Her genin hadn't been knocked out by the genjutsu, but were currently fighting people out in the village proper and escorting civilians to the bunkers when they could.
A hawks screech from above alerted them to the beginning of the second phase. The civilians were all safely tucked away, not the ANBU could do their jobs. Extermination of the threat.
She quickly spotted the massive form of Akimichi Chouza plowing through enemies, Shikaku and Inoichi running alongside him, killing those that weren't killed by Chouza.
Akiko grinned, slicing open the neck of a particularly adventurous idiot sand person. "Now, you lot die." She grinned, flying through handsigns. It was time to use it. "Raiton: Dance of Lightning!" She slammed her hands onto the ground, watching in satisfaction as the people near her were caught in her trap of lightning. It took quite a bit of chakra, so Akiko popped a soldier pill before ensuring those she had caught with the lightning were truly dead. The deader they were, the less chance they were going to kill her friends or team.
"Raiton: Spider's web!" A web of pure lightning spread out from her body, and she heard screams from behind her. That's what they got for trying to ambush her. They weren't even remotely sneaky.
She slit their throats to ensure their deaths, looking around for anyone else to kill. It looked like the stadium had long since been cleared, so Akiko headed for the city, zapping or just impaling anyone who tried to kill her. It was almost laughably easy, but she was an elite jounin. She didn't know where sand's jounin were, but it was worrying her. Similar for Oto, which didn't seem to have any sort of identification.
Mostly the people she ran into were chuunin or genin level at best, which she had to admit worried her slightly. She was in the bingo book, she would expect higher-level opponents. If she wasn't getting them, was someone else getting them? Or did Sand and Oto simply not have any higher level shinobi.
The second option was far better, as she didn't particularly want anyone in danger from opponents she should be fighting. Not that she doubted Kakashi and Gai could take care of themselves. They were perfectly capable jounin, and honestly, Akiko didn't doubt they could both easily beat her in a fight.
The people attacking her stopped suddenly, and a hawk went out telling that the invasion was over. Casualties would be counted, damages tallied, and everything arranged. The next month would be hectic, but they'd come out stronger than ever.
Oh thank goodness, her students were alright. Minor injuries, mostly a scratch here or there, but otherwise they were fine. Rumi was limping slightly, but she deflected it as just a sprain. Akiko wasn't convinced, but what could she do? Rumi had promised to get medical attention later after all. And Katana promised to enforce it.
All that was left, was to mourn for the fallen, including their own Hokage.
(A/N) And we're done! This universe has come to its close. This marks the end of the final of my old stories, so I am somewhat grateful for that. There is a poll up currently, so go check that out. The poll for this story will go up after the NFD poll is done, so check back in a bit for that.
