The moment she took the sword out of the "body", the peaces of it began to fall off. An empty shell... Substitution! She turned around just in time to see a wave of sand that threw her through the wall. She was floating for a few seconds before hitting a roof of a nearby house.
I guess it's safe to presume that the simple way failed. Either that or I was just sent on my first flying lesson by a figure of my imagination. Akane had just about enough time to check if she was still in one peace before the sand came at her again. She dodged the blow just in time and jumped back to gain some distance between her and now revealed red-headed Kazekage with a gourd on his back.
That was close... Why is it suddenly getting darker? It was damn hard to see even with the moon light. She thought and looked above her. Oh, sh... Sand was everywhere, and before she could make a move, a gigantic wall covered her.
For someone who managed to get inside the village and the mansion, she didn't exactly put up a fight. This was too easy. So much for having some fun. A victorious smirk appeared on his face. Sure, it was no sweat, but still, it's been a while since he got to kill someone personally.
Then his expression changed again, when the sand that supposedly covered the enemy's body started to move. His yet-to-be-killed opponent jumped out surrounded by shield of lightning.
Screw this! I didn't come all this way to die! I'm officially done taking the hits! It's my turn! Than she made a number of hand signs and the sky got dark again – the storm clouds were gathering above the village. The storm was getting louder and the lightnings were flashing. Now to end it. Akane concentrated on her target and the lightning was shoot down from the sky towards the read-head.
I did it! What?
The damn substitution again! Can't he use anything else? That's so unfair!
Before she had time to search for his new location, Akane heard an unmistakable sound of kunai flying towards her back. She quickly turned around and blocked them with her sword. The reinforcements. It's just my luck. She shot a few lightnings at the approaching ninja and started to run towards the village's walls.
I'll have to call the quits on this one. She forced some chakra in her feet and was soon out of their weapon's range. They're falling behind. Good thing I'm unmatchable at running aw – I mean, tactical retreat.
She was about 50 meters away from the wall, when the kunai started to fly in her direction again – more ninja were charging at her and putting themselves between Akane and the way out in the process.
There's no way I'm letting you stop me! She moved out of the weapon's way, concentrated chakra into her fist and slammed it into the ground. The earth under other ninjas' feet started to shake. They fell unable to keep their feet under them.
That should do it. There's now way they'll follow me now. She quickly climbed the wall and run over it. Than she jumped on the other side. I'm out! Those idiots will never catch me.
It incredible how many times a single person can be wrong in just a few minutes. The sand under her feet raised and surrounded her. Not again! When did he get here? Luckily she managed to make herself a way out with a few lightnings. Now I know why my brother was so eager to make me learn this stuff. If I came here with nothing but fire jutsus, I'll be dead more than once by now.
Akane tuned around to face her opponent. "I guess I underestimated you, considering that you're still alive" His voice was quiet but threatening. "You've done pretty well, but this is the end of the line."
She just glared at him in response. If he thinks that I'll lose to him that easily, he's in for a surprise. There's no room for joking around anymore, time to get serious. Her eyes turned from onyx to crimson when she activated her Sharingan.
They both began making hand signs and preparing to make a move. The sand started to shift and move, it was growing with each second. When it became so large that it was impossible for any human to dodge it, his master sent it to attack in a form of Desert Avalanche. Let's see if you can survive this.
Akane waited till the sand was only a couple of seconds away before she acted. She concentrated chakra in her palms and created three balls of lightning which started to float and spin around her, creating a large barrier. The sand kept coming, but the barrier held it's place, keeping it's user safe.
When the sand finally stopped, Akane undid her jutsu, and charged towards the kazekage. Now I'll show you why you shouldn't have followed me. When she was only a few meters away, she made her hand signs and held out her right arm. "Raikiri!"
She did it. This time was for sure, there's no way he could've made another substitution in time, she would've seen it with her Sharingan.
Akane was only partially correct, the sand that got her blown away proved it. No way, how could've I missed? I never miss!
Guess this makes it the first time. She got up and looked in his direction. He was down for the moment. So I didn't miss! Great! Wonderful! So why is he still alive?
When she looked better, she found out. Although she did hit him, she missed the heart, apparently because he used his sand to make her miss it.
Those lightnings of hers are becoming one major pain. If I want to end this, I'll have to prevent her from using her lightning based jutsus. He stood up and smirked. This is going to be easy.
Why is he smiling? What could he possibly be happy about? I wounded him, not gave him candy!
To put that aside, I have to figure out a way to get out of this mess... It's taking too long, and I already lost a considerable amount of chakra.
"Instead of standing there and staring at me, don't you think you should be running?" He said with a confident voice. What? He's standing there half dead, and I'm the one who should be running?
"I'll just finish you off quickly then." He was now completely straightened up. They were standing with only a few meters between them.
Then he shouted -"Sand lightning needles!", and a large number of sand needles flew out of his gourd and landed around Akane. This doesn't look good. And like it usually goes at times like this, she was right. The needles started emitting lightning. She couldn't take the pain, it was worse than anything she ever felt. She fell on the ground screaming.
And than it stopped. She was on her knees, trying to catch her breath. What was that? How could've he used a jutsu like that? The last attack took her by surprise, she could barely move.
"You made a deadly mistake by coming here. That Hokage of yours obviously likes wasting lives." While he was talking the sand wrapped itself around Akane, holding her up to face him. "Tell you what, if you tell me all I want to know about the leaf village, I'll let you go."
She just stared at him. Let me go? Who does he think he's dealing with? No person who dares to call themselves shinobi would betray their village to save their lives. I'm not talking.
"What a pity."
