Konoha is a place meant for great people. OR, great people make Konoha. I'm not entirely sure but one thing's for sure though, I AM GREAT. Oh I know what you people think. Sure pink hair, green eyes, slender figure, yeah perfect. But not that! I mean I have always considered myself perfect because of my undying persistence. Yes, undying persistence. It's when you try your hardest to train yourself to the point of exhaustion or let yourself be trained to the point of exhaustion by OTHER great shinobi's, so that people will finally acknowledge you, is what I mean by undying persistence. And at the moment, I'm thinking, I'm reaching a whole new level of undying persistence.
"Eeeep!" screeched a woman as she ducks on time as a shuriken thrown with deadly precision whizzes past her head.
"God Anko! Are you trying to kill me?!" she screeched again. This time, clutching her bloodied shoulder. "Shit. I think I see a bone sticking out."
"keh" chuckles a woman as she steps out of the shadows. She lands a few feet away from her prey and grins. "Oh? Sorry my hand slipped" she spoke while grinning sadistically.
"Oh really? And I suppose that back kick and roundhouse kick that you did after you attached that oh so wonderful gigantous weapon of yours in my shoulder was an accident? " she said, trying to push some sense of humanity in the woman.
"I suppose?" she answered not really caring.
"Aghhh! What's with this woman." She mumbles to herself. She was about to have a feisty comeback at the woman when suddenly, Anko throws another kunai at her, forcing her to dodge. She made a mistake though as a few senbons were aimed at where she was going and did not have the luxury to evade.
"Shit. Ouch." she said as she clutched her now bloodied leg. Great now how was she supposed to dodge and run from this madwoman now with only one leg and an arm left. Tch. Oh and great! She even poisoned the senbons. What the heck!
"Anko!"
"That's Anko-sama to you little girl" she said as she throws another batch of senbon at her leg.
"Aghh wait! Damn it wait! Time out time out!" yet her pleas were unheard of as Anko lunged for her. And they engaged in a taijutsu battle.
"What? Don't tell me you're giving up now Sakura?" she spat. Clearly unsatisfied with the other.
"I'm not. Aghh. I'm not Anko.." she hisses as she tries to land a punch on her right side. But Anko predicted her moves and catches her arm on time before kicking her in the stomach which sent her flying to a tree.
Sakura grunts as a few bones make a sickening crack as she non-too lightly connects with a tree.
"Don't you think you're going overboard? I mean it's freaking 4 a.m. in the morning!" she exclaims and winces as a bone threatens to cut out of her skin. Great! Now her ribs are broken too. She really needs to heal herself and fast.
Hearing this, Anko just tilted her head, and gave her a what's-your-point look.
Sighing in frustration, she explained the cause of her distress, "All I'm saying is, we've been sparring for almost 11 hours now! And did I mention nonstop? As in NO breaks? And speaking of breaks, my bones a- " but was cut off with a sigh from the woman, who was currently waving her hand to dismiss the thought.
"Tch. It's not like you're on the losing side here Sakura" she answered.
Sakura could only gape at her. How in the world did she come out with that conclusion? Sakura then gave her an are-you-kidding-me look.
Seeing this, Anko could only chuckle. She was clearly having fun.
"Fine. Maybe you are. With a few broken bones," but was interrupted when she heard Sakura scoff along with a yeah right remark. She then cleared her throat and began again. "As I was saying, few broken bones here and there but hey, you started it kiddo. You broke my nose remember? And it only just started yet you landed a few good punches on me already brat." She said while touching her nose as if recalling the event.
"Yes , BUT you made me heal that Anko! Along with the other wounds I've inflicted on you." Sakura exclaims in frustration. Really here she was sparring with a nearly depleted chakra, all because her sparring teacher didn't want to be seen with a crooked nose. Really, what a frustrating woman she is. If she had known she wouldn't have beg Anko to train her.
"Oh right… Fine. Let's end it here today. Seriously, kids these days. They ask you to train them then when it's all tough and they can't handle it they complain." She says as she collects her weapons from the havoc.
"You sound like an old woman Anko. Reality finally started to sink on you?" Sakura jokes as she stands, all the while feeling the murderous glare Anko was giving her. True, she practically begged Anko to train her, or in Anko's vocabulary- spar to death. Heck it wasn't easy I tell you! It mainly composed of begging, kneeling, chores, and a whole lot of bribing. And when she finally, FINALLY agrees, she tries to kill her all too quickly!
But nonetheless, it was all worth it. Anko was a fine kunoichi, well minus a few pointers here and there, but she was still a great ninja nonetheless. She learned a whole lot out of this ordeal. Fortunately, more good than bad. She snaps her attention back to Anko, when the said woman grunts for being ignored and puts a hand on her hips.
"That's Anko-sama to you brat." Anko said menacingly. Oh she's ticked off huh. Well that can't be good. But nonetheless Sakura laughed it off.
Upon hearing this, Anko just increased her glare and gave her an, are-you-picking-a-fight look.
Sakura brushed it off altogether and asked instead, "Are you alright? Do you need some healing?" as she tried to clear some dust off her clothes.
She hears Anko scoff and says arrogantly, "As if. I don't think you're in the condition to ask that Sakura. Besides I'm perfectly fine. No broken bones whatsoever." She said while smirking.
"Right. Well I'm glad that there are no broken nose whatsoever. So if you're alright then I'll be taking my leave now." She said as she turned to go. The other woman just looked at her scornfully. Clearly displeased with Sakura's haughty remark. Anko was watching the source of her distress intently as the said figure left.
"but before that," retreating figure stops and vanishes all of a sudden. Alarmed, Anko could only gasp in surprise as she found Sakura hugging her. Anko winces as she was hugged non-too gently and well, for being caught off guard.
"Now, if I was the enemy you'd be dead by now. Don't let your guard down sensei." She whispered at the woman's ear. A satisfied smile plastered on her lips.
Anko could only stand there surprised. Not comprehending what was happening. 'God, this is embarrassing' Anko thought to herself.
"Well thanks Anko-sensei. I really learned a lot today." Sakura finally says and lets go. Flashing Anko with a teasing smile as the other blushes.
"Haha goodbye Anko-sensei! See you when I see you!" the pink haired kunoichi said and runs off. Leaving a very disturbed Anko behind. After a while, when Anko finally regained her composure, she then smirked bitterly and said to no one in particular.
"Tch. Quite the unpredictable kid aren't you. And that's Anko-sama to you brat." She said as she too turned to leave, all the while smiling.
