Howdy folks Torat here bring you my biggest chapter yet. haha i just couldn't stop writing, enjoy.
Zanichi wakes up and sees purple. A little confused he sits up and the hair covering him falls to the side and his vision clears. He looks around Anko's room. It was surprisingly feminine. The walls were painted a light blue with light purple snakes painted at random. The window curtains were a dark blue with red floral patterns. The dresser and bedside tables were a simple design with random odds and ends sitting atop them. Zanichi focuses at a T&I kit that was siting open on her dresser and sweat drops, curious if it had worked its way into their night together when he wasn't paying attention. He looks over to the woman whose bed he had shared, 'I could get used to this' he thought as he laid back down and put his arm around her middle. She shifts in her sleep, pushing herself into his chest with her back, 'I definitely could get used to this.' They lay together for another hour until Anko wakes up in Zanichi's arms, 'mmm I could get used to this, he is so warm it's like sleeping next to a heater,' she thought to herself, almost purring as she rubs her back against him. She rolls over so they face each other much to Zanichi's pleasure feeling her breasts against his chest. He kisses her lightly on the forehead.
"Morning Hebihime, I hope you slept well."
Anko blushes at the pet name Zanichi has given her. After they had satisfied their desires for each other they had spent the rest of the night talking. Anko had told him about how the villagers would treat him if they found out about the two of them being together and wanted to keep it a secret if they pursued a relationship, which she was hesitate to do. Zanichi was shocked to learn that the villagers would treat not one but two of the people that he was growing to care about, and as she tried to convince him that a relationship with her was a bad idea Zanichi had proven to be just as stubborn as she was. Telling her that the one opinion of their relationship he cared about was hers and if the villagers didn't like him the feeling was mutual because he didn't like the villagers that much for the way they treated Naruto anyway. She had laughed after hearing that, and give into him, snuggling close and falling asleep in his arms.
"Morning lover boy," kissing him, "you know you should get ready you have a meeting with a bunch of old windbags in a few hours and you have to get to the other side of the village to get your things. Unless you are going in those dirty clothes and stinking of hot sex at that, you could use a shower. Does the temple have one?"
"It does not in fact have one you wouldn't mind if I borrow yours do you?"
"I don't if you promise to wash my back and you still need clothes even if you wash yours their not really fit for a meeting with the council if you want to be taken seriously.
"I have everything with me in storage seals in the scroll pouches on my belt and deal; even do your hair which looks good down like that by the way."
"You are quite the charmer you know that."
She says though giggles, 'this is so weird, no man has talked to me or made me feel this way before.'
"I am a professional snake charmer in fact, if you didn't know the poisonous ones are my specialty and favorite."
She looks over at him with a questioning look and sees him holding her T&I kit with vials of venom with small chibi snake stickers on them. She sees his sly smile as he holds up a half empty vial with a boa on it with a blush across its face, causing her to have a mild panic attack.
"You used this on me didn't you?"
The look of shame and guilt crosses her face. She gulps fearing the worst, kicking herself for screwing up whatever this was before it even started, believing he would angrily break it off before it even started but is honest and nods in the affirmative.
"What does this one do?" he asks.
"Um that one ah induces rigidity in muscles that it is injected into, it harmless depending on what muscle groups it's injected in. Um for example in the area around the throat it makes it hard to breath and simulates suffocating, and umm let's say in the crouch area it um induces a um -"
"Raging hard-on."
He finishes for her, causing her to blush and hang her head so her hair hides her face.
"Yes"
"Does it work on women as well?"
Her head snaps up and sees the perverted look on his face. She realizes that he wasn't mad but was willing to play too. A part of her heart swells having not realized the thought of him leaving after only one night would have such an effect on her. Her face to goes a dark red from all sudden and new emotions see was feeling, he cocks his eyebrow waiting for an answer.
"Yes it does um it cause severe contractions of the um vaginal muscles."
She mumbles, Zanichi couldn't help himself but to tease her some more after seeing the look on her face.
"Severe contraction of what, I couldn't hear you."
Anko couldn't handle the teasing knowing he was playing with her as pay back but was feeling embarrassed and guilty after getting caught and having to tell him what the venom did and that she had used it on him without his permission.
"It makes my pussy insanely tight ok," she shouts, "happy now."
He walks over to her and kisses her on the cheek and whispers in her ear.
"I will be after I use it on you tonight my naughty little hebi."
He turns and walks into the bathroom whistling as he goes, leaving her sitting on her bed with goose bumbles all over her body. 'Why am I blushing and stuttering like a little girl this isn't the first time I have used that on a man without his permission but now I am embarrassed and ashamed to have used it on him behind his back and now this man is going use me like a toy tonight, and I can't wait for him to do it, I'm Mitarashi Anko for kami's sake I am the one who plays with people not played with, but why am I so excited at the thought of him playing with me like a toy ahhh he makes me feel so weird is this what Nai-chan was talking about.'
Zanichi calling her name snaps her back to reality.
"Anko are you coming or what I can't wash you if you're not in the shower with me."
She shakes her head and gets up and walks into the bathroom and sees him standing in the shower with the glass door open for her. She stands there and studies the man that her body and soul were craving, how the water ran down his muscular body and the massive scar that ran down from his face to his abdomen and across his chest to intersect with the vertical one forming a cross over his heart. The feeling of arousal heating her core again as she walks into the shower and presses herself against him and lightly runs her hand along his vertical scar and kissing where the two scars meet.
"I want to get dirty again first my shogun."
The seductive way she touches and says his pet name causes Zanichi to stiffen. He leans down and kisses her passionately.
"Your wish is my command Hebihime."
Zanichi walked through the village after leaving Anko's apartment dressed in a formal red and silver battle kimono with his clan emblem proudly on his back. With his offhand lazily sitting sticking out of the bottom of the V formed by the crossing cloth he looked like a bored high born lord then a seasoned veteran about to have a formal meeting with the village's council about a treaty that will change the power structure of the world. He was in a good mood after spending the night and morning with Anko he was refreshed and ready to go. Surprisingly she was a wealth of information on the council as she told him about each council member as he got dressed. She had watched him intently the entire time and finally he asked her what she was looking at she told him that if she had seen him dressed like that, like some kind of uptight noble instead of in his dirty travel armor and dusty long coat she had seen him in with Naruto, last night wouldn't have happened in a million years. Causing him to chuckle, as he remembered the conversation they had afterwards. Her reaction when he told her that she would have to wear something similar, if she was ever going to meet his parents, was priceless. She blushed and started stuttering out reasons that would never happen, which he in turn shot down one after another. Smiling to himself Zanichi arrives at the Hokage Tower and walks inside and walks up to the front desk.
"Good morning, Uzumaki Zanichi for a meeting with the Hokage and Village council."
"Yes the Hokage has been waiting for you. Please follow me Uzumaki-dono."
The secretary stands up and leads Zanichi through the tower. They ascend several floors then turn down a hall and stop outside a set of double door. Zanichi was not impressed with the level of security in the tower; he counted only a dozen or so Anbu on the way up and 4 in the room with him hidden. The secretary pokes her head into the council chamber, and then turns to him.
"The council is assembled and ready for you."
"Thank you very much."
He walks passed her and enters the council chambers, too see the council already seated and waiting. The table was a U shape with the Hokage at the apex the village elders to either side of him and the shinobi and civilian councilmembers sitting opposite of each other. He made eye contact with the Hokage as he stood to great Zanichi.
"Good morning Uzumaki-dono, you're right on time. Please let me introduce the members of Konoha's council. To my left and right are the village elders and my old teammates Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koheru, from the right of Homura we have the shinobi half of our council. Starting with Akimichi Chóza, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Hyúga Hiashi, Inuzuka Tsume, and lastly Uchiha Fugaku, and to Koheru's left we have the civilian half of our council Ruchika Hatika the Head of Civilian Affairs, if you have a event in mind you can talk to her, Kataza Rochi our Financial Minster he can help you get the Uzumaki accounts back in order, Kutichi Renzo Head of Education if you are curious about the schooling Naruto will receive, Ichira Takamo our Merchant Guild Representative he can help you get the supplies for the Uzumaki temple, Haruno Mebeki, Shimura Danzó, and I believe have already met Ichiraku Teuchi are our three elected villager representatives. If you could be so kind to introduce yourself to the council I would be very appreciative."
"Of cause Hokage-dono, good morning I am Uzumaki Zanichi Vice-Captain of the Second Division of the Iron Guard of the Land of Iron. It is a great honor to meet you all this morning. Since all of you are already here I assume the Hokage as told you my reasons for my being here and shown you all the copy of the treaty agreement I left with him the other night."
After several nods around the room Zanichi know he was correct.
"Then why not get straight to the details shall we are there any questions I can answer for you that will placate any doubts you might be feeling for this alliance?"
The Hokage nods approving of how he dealt with the council, keeping things focused on the treaty, knowing full well that the petty councilmembers would want to waste time on silly formalities. After a minute the first to speak stood up.
"Good morning Uzumaki-dono, allow me to introduce myself I am Uchiha Fugaku clan head of the Uchiha clan and the chief of the Konoha Military Police and I would like to ask you about what happened two nights ago outside Councilman Ichiraku's ramen stand and also why you believe that we should ally ourselves with a group of hot tempered samurai who would cut the arms off helpless civilians. Frankly I should put you in chains for that act alone until the investigation is over."
The Hokage frowns this was not going well.
"Fugaku-san I don't think this is the proper place for this conversation."
"I beg to differ from what I have gathered this will represent a microcosm of what will happen in the village with samurai as an everyday occurrence and if having them as allies will be good for the village's security. "
"No it's alright I have to agree with Uchiha-san. As I myself am in his position in the Land of Iron I fully understand and I would be asking the same questions. Though to call it a microcosm might be a little much; I don't think one samurai will be facing over 200 villagers on his own like I did. I am sure you have seen testimony from the Anbu that responded as well as personal testimony from Councilman Ichiraku, I was dining at his restaurant with the young Uzumaki Naruto," He turns to face the Uchiha clan head, "who, after a blood test using seals that all Uzumaki from the Land of Iron carry on us so that if we come across anyone we believe to be a member of the clan we can make sure and to what family they belong to, and he has proven to be a true member of our clan as well as the son of Uzumaki Kushina my aunt, meaning my little cousin."
He snaps with anger causing the clan heads to flinch. All the members of the council take a sharp intake of breath after they heard confirmation that Naruto was a true Uzumaki and Kushina's son; both the Uchiha and Hyúga clan heads steal a look at each other. Their wives had sent them with orders to confirm the rumors that Naruto was indeed Kushina's son and both know that this wasn't going to end well for the Hokage. Fugaku frowns at the accusing tone in Zanichi's voice not liking what this would mean if the samurai had taken this oversight on his part personally and would retaliate in his cousin's name.
"My mother told me why my aunt was here in Konoha and yes the two have seen each other but that was many years ago and either have had much contact we didn't even know she had been pregnant. I know that my aunt was taken under the terms of the treaty with Uzushio to be the second jinchúriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune something my mother would very much like to kill you all for, she is not happy with me for suggesting this treaty, it's not a secret how people treat jinchúriki and she wants nothing to do with the Konoha. She blames you all for the death of her little sister, and she out right hates the village for the treatment she received growing up, treatment that I have seen to have been passed on to her son. If my mother had known that Kushina was pregnant I am sure you would have learned about us much sooner."
Zanichi leaves out that his mother most likely would have forced Kushina back to the Land of Iron for Naruto's birth to ensure nothing happened with the seal, which leads him to his next thought.
"You did however let my cousin suffer for six years of mistreatment for the only reason I can fathom being the cause of why the seal on his mother failed, releasing the bijuu something completely beyond his control."
The acidic tone causes the Hokage to wince remembering the talk they had only a night before. Danzó sees this and looks again at the young samurai and wonders if he can use the obvious anger at his cousin's treatment to his advantage.
"Which leads us back to the event in question doesn't it. Because a mob of over 200 villagers and shinobi attacked us due to that maltreatment, believing that they could kill my cousin without consequence so I showed them no mercy. My clan is the most precious thing to me and when anyone threats one of them they earn my full wrath. Under normal circumstances I would have killed the whole lot of them then and there but I did not want to act so violently due to my responsibilities to fulfill my mission. In my defense I had just been listening to Naruto tell me about what happened on his last birthday, to say I was angry would be a grave understatement and I may have over reacted. If I had not let myself become as emotional I would not have acted out as I did. I am sure you Uchiha can understand that. Is that a reasonable explanation for you Uchiha-san?"
The clan head nods his head quietly, fully understanding what Zanichi meant about his clan. What the Uzumaki would have done for his clan if not for his mission and loyalty to the Land of Iron. Humbled him greatly, many of the other clan heads nodding their agreement as well, successfully earning their respect. The Hokage was impressed to see someone so young so easy answer Fugaku's verbal attack and he not only proved himself but won over all the clan heads, in the process was franking impressive.
"Are there any questions about the treaty that Uzumaki-dono can answer? I don't want to hear anything else this is not our only item to discuss today."
Spoke the Hokage wishing to move this meeting along.
"I have one Hokage-sama. Good day Uzumaki-dono, Ruchika Hatika, I would like to ask you where do you plan to house the samurai that will be garrisoned here and how will you provide for them while they are here? The Hokage spoke of a plan to house them in the ruins of the Uzumaki temple but even if it is repaired to its former glory it is still too small for a sizable force and the cost of living for those that will be housed there will not be cheap if the shinobi of the village are anything to judge by."
"That is a good question, Councilwoman Ruchika. As you said the temple is a ruin and I plan to rebuild it during the winter with the help of my cousin increasing it in size and make it more suitable for living. The samurai that will be stationed here in the village will not be arriving until next spring at the earliest which will give us plenty of time to rebuild and renovate the temple to be a proper compound for the housing of samurai. As for the cost of feeding and living for the samurai that will be here, we can work out a means for the Land of Iron to reimburse the village if it proves to be necessary. We will have to come up with some kind of transfer of funds for your shinobi for they face the same situation when stationed in the Land of Iron as part of this exchange, as for the shinobi's housing the Second Division will be providing it. I am sorry if that is not a good answer we have specialists to handle those very issues and I am not one of them. Otherwise we will have a bunch of hunger samurai and shinobi on our hands and if your shinobi are anything like my samurai then a hungry shinobi is the last thing we want now is there"
The last comment gets several chuckles and nods of agreement from the clan heads and Teuchi who has personal experience of the appetites of the village shinobi. After getting his laughter under control stands up and address the council.
"I think I have a simple solution to this problem, since there will be both samurai and shinobi participating in this exchange why not let the already in place means of providing meals and other services to those on duty in service to our respective villages take care of them and not try to steal a profit from our guests and new friends. Both groups will be working to the same end, protecting our allies. What do you say Ruchika-san? In fact for the first month of the samurai stay in the village I will comp a meal for each samurai that will be staying in the village to help protect us helpless civilians as a showing of welcome."
The tension in the room after Teuchi's sly comment about the councilwoman's intentions and quoting the Uchiha's words showing what he thought of the clan head rises noticeably. Zanichi know thanks to Anko that the relationship between Teuchi and his partner on the council Haruno Mebeki the matriarch of a minor craftsmen clan and the rest of the civilian side of the council was not very good. As both councilmembers were retired shinobi themselves they often sided with the clan heads and the Hokage against the more self-serving peers, though the shoot on the clan head was a surprise to many. Ruchika and the Uchicha narrow their eyes at him as he sits back down. Without standing Mebeki supports her colleague.
"I think that is a good idea, in fact any samurai who needs work done on their armor or need anything crafted will receive them for the first month free of change paying only for materials by any craftsmen under the banner of the Haruno clan, to show support to our new allies. My only concerns are how are the samurai to be paid, the shinobi preform missions on the benefit of the village and receive part of the payment as spending money. This exchange will be considered a long term mission and they will receive pay for it before departing and upon their return what will more than compensate for their time from home. Please Uzumaki-dono can you enlighten us on how the samurai are finically compensated for their services?"
"Yes of course. The samurai are paid a salary that comes out of the taxes paid to the shogun. The pay is rank based and the higher one is in rank the more one is paid. I personally receive as a vice-captain a little less than 500,000 ryo a month, plus 70 percent on any bounties we happen to collect in the line of duty or on our free time. Many lower ranked samurai have earned small fortunes from bounties they have collected on their off time. Your village as not been on the paying end of those transactions but Iwa Kumo, and many minor villages have. I myself did a bit of bounty work in my time before becoming an officer and then most of my free time went to the evil of paperwork."
The look on his face causes anyone in the room with experience as a military officer to burst out laughing, causing the four other councilmembers to look around at them with looks of confusion. After several minutes or so all the shinobi and former shinobi, calm their laughter, Mebeki speaks up again.
"So if the samurai are paid a salary how do you intend to pay them if they are stationed here? I have not been to the Land of Iron personally but I have been near your borders in my youth and even during the summer months there is a frost. How will you get their payment here during the winter months when all the mountain passes are blocked with heavy snow?"
"Part of the renovations I will be making will be a large vault protected by Uzumaki seals and more traditional methods that will store their bi-weekly pay, just like in any of our border stations. Which will be delivered just before winter by the Third Division, they are transport and logistics specialists I spoke of, who receive special training for guard duty of high risk convoys, trying to take one of their transports will prove to be suicide. Though I am sure there will be some who will like to do little jobs on the side to occupy their time, a current copy of your village's Bingo book will most likely end up in their hands at some point I would suspect. I don't expect you to pay them at the same rates as the shogun does though. Mifune-sama is a very generous leader and it's more of a way for the junior ranks to earn a name for themselves and impress their superiors so they will not really care about it as long as they get the credit and some money to spent on their vices. Does that satisfy your question Councilwomen Haruno?"
"Yes it does Uzumaki-dono, thank you very much."
"Anything else any of you wish to know."
That is when Hyúga Hiashi stood up.
"Yes I have some questions about the military strength of you yourself and your fellow samurai. I am sure that many here have met or faced samurai before in combat and I personally can say that I was not impressed. The ones I have faced were no challenge for any shinobi except the greenest of genin. As this is primarily an agreement for military support for your country, I would like to see what we have to gain from it at all."
At first Zanichi is a little offended but after seeing the horror on the Hokage's face from what the arrogant Hyúga said, the look said it all, 'are you mad?.' He starts laughing hysterically, much to the stunned faces of the council.
"I must apologize I didn't mean to laugh but the look on the Hokage's face was too much. I a demonstration of my caste's power is in order. I must say that I am a little offend that you Hyúga-san, as a veteran would out right call my people weak. A little bit of advice for you to pass on to your colleagues and clan members," he says as he closes his eyes to focus, the looks of horror spread from the Hokage to the other clan heads except Hiashi at hearing Zanichi's tone, "don't ever insult a samurai's power to their face, it will only lead to a fight. We have a saying in the Iron Guard, live with honor, die with pride and you just insulted the honor of all samurai in the Guard."
Just then Zanichi flexes his chakra, quickly building it up and concentrating it. The effect on his surroundings was noticeable instantly. First every Anbu in the build arrive circling him, thirty in total, but as the pressure from his flex of power grows one by one they all step back instinct forcing them to get away from the heat of the air around him before they got burned. Next, the floor beneath him starts to crack and split under the strain, spreading out as he continues to gather his strength. The room starts to smell of ozone causing some to wonder what his element was. Then like a spark igniting a flash fire, he snaps his eyes open, and his chakra becomes visible, a fire ball of dark blue energy encircling his whole body, small lightning bolts arc at random from his body as his elemental affinity starts to show itself, his eyes releasing a thick mist of potent chakra which continues to rise as he stares at the Hyúga, who sweats under the stare. He then speaks as the walls crack and push outward from the pressure as it continues to grow.
"Are you satisfied with my strength, Hyúga-san?"
The Hyúga clan head nods without saying a word.
"Although I am the strongest of the vice-captains all the division captains as well as Mifune-sama are stronger them me. Do not compare that trash you have faced before to us, you arrogant ninja."
The edge on his voice causes the table, some of the Anbu and the four councilmembers with zero shinobi experience to collapse. The elders as well as the remaining members of the civilian half of the council were sweating profusely from the strain from trying to remain conscious, with the clan heads all with their faces tight under the pressure. The only one not showing any sign of strain is the Hokage who simply shakes his head. He had known that this would happen at some point and had tried to rush the meeting in an attempt to avoid it, 'curse you Hiashi, why did you have to challenge the young samurai's pride like that.'
"Zanichi could you please relax your chakra before you bring the building down, I believe you have made your point very clear."
Zanichi closes his eyes again as his chakra begins to calm and dissipate, releasing the pressure that had filled the room.
"To think that someone as young as you would be of a sannin's level is quite frightening, you are sure to grow into a legend. I think every ninja in the village felt that."
He says absent mindedly, he looks over at the Hyúga and Uchiha clan heads and smirks. Both of their faces were twisted in instinctive fear. The Hokage accurately guessed that the samurai had directed a sizable amount of killing intent their way. The first for his arrogant challenge of the samurai's pride and the other for his earlier questioning of Zanichi's honor, proving that the samurai live up to their code.
"I think that will be all for today if any of you have any more questions for Uzumaki-dono then I suggest you pursue the answers at a later time. Uzumaki-dono you may leave."
Zanichi bows, turns and leaves the severely damaged council room. He meets the secretary outside and sees her, unfazed and cocks an eyebrow.
"When you have served as the personal assistant to the teacher and then student of Jiraiya, that short-tempered frog sannin is always in the office, you get used to little out bursts like yours, young man. Hyúga-san was a fool to challenge you like that anyone with half a brain can see you are a powerful fellow. I say you gave them a good scare."
Zanichi smiles and blushes at the teasing from the older woman. As he steps outside he sees Anko standing there panting and sweating with her hands on her knees, Zanichi cocks an eyebrow.
"What are you doing here?"
She rights herself and looks at him.
"I thought the Hokage was going to kill you or something after I felt that chakra spike. There are over three dozen jonin and every Anbu in the village on the roof of the tower right now."
He chuckles hearing that the shinobi of the village thought that the chakra spike was the Hokage's and not his own, they were seriously underestimating the power of the samurai of his home land. Would make for some good bar fights. He knew would be unavoidable, at some point it was going to happen.
"Then are why you are down here?"
She sticks the tip of her tongue out at him.
"Snake like senses remember. I could smell you and know you were walking this way."
He walks up to her and takes her arm in his own, she leans into him tired. She had sprinted across the village from the Anbu T&I headquarters worried for her new whatever he was, it was still too early for her to call him her lover or any other titles like that. They start walking and as Zanichi reaches for his sword he finds it moved to the perfect place again.
"You are the best escort any samurai could ask for you know that."
She smiles.
"Not any samurai, just one."
Now it's his turn to smile.
"You want to get lunch."
She nods her head.
"Then lead the way Hebihime, I have only been to two restaurants here and I don't think we will be able to eat at either."
She shakes her head laughing knowing full well what he was talking about and leads him to her favorite dango shop in the village.
After he and Anko got lunch she had to go back to work and they promised to meet up for a dinner date. After she asked about the condition the temple was in she insisted that he stay with her until the renovations were done. He said that it was ok he was used to sleeping outside and he pointed out that her apartment was too small for two people, but like he had that morning she shot down his every argument. When they parted she kissed him and walked away purposely swinging her hips side to side which Zanichi watched contently until he notices a dog masked Anbu watching.
"What?"
"Just was curious to see who had Anko in such a good mood this morning. A word to the wise the head of the T&I department Morino Ibiki thinks of her as a little sister and if you hurt her, he will most surely will hurt you."
Zanichi looks up at him.
"And why would I do that? She is far to fun to be with and sexy to boot. If I ever hurt Anko it will be in bed and….. You know what I am not talking with you about this."
Zanichi starts walking away, as Kakashi smirk behind his mask.
At the temple Zanichi finds Naruto in the shrine sitting in the same position he had seen him in yesterday. Zanichi walks over to one of the enclaves in the side of the shrine and changes out of his formal clothes. After sealing them away and putting on comfortable training attire he walks over to Naruto.
"So you really must like it here. Have you been here all day?"
"Yes, though it was the easiest way to get away from the girls they wanted to know what happened at Ichiraku's and wouldn't leave me alone. After some of them started whispering about finding you and showing you a good time on the house I might have let it slip that you and Anko-nee were together"
He winced a little; he wasn't sure how Zanichi would act to hearing about his personal business being talked about by another.
"So that is how Dog know it was me who had Anko all sunshine and rainbows this morning."
He looked over at Naruto who had a look of horror on his face.
"What?"
"Anko-nee is never sunshine and rainbows, ever. What did you do?"
The accusing look startled Zanichi.
"Nothing we um we just spent the night and the morning together. Nothing special honest we are going out on a date tonight. She asked me to stay with her until we get the temple fixed up."
The look on Naruto's face shifts from suspicion to worry.
"Anko-nee never lets men stay at her apartment ever. She always goes with them back to their place. I haven't even been there, but she took you."
Naruto sounded a little jealous as he revealed that Zanichi was the only man to ever share Anko's bed. Zanichi stares at his cousin, feels a moment of male pride after hearing that he is the only man to be brought into Anko's personal space but then the moment paces and he hears the rest of Naruto says, and smiles at the young boy.
"Don't worry Naruto I am not going to take your Anko-nee from you, but how do you know about where Anko spent her time with other men."
"She told me."
Zanichi didn't like what he was hearing a little upset that his six year old cousin know what sex was and knew a full grown woman was sharing her sexual exploits with him wasn't pleasing at all.
"Naruto who told you what sex was and how the girls in your neighborhood make a living?"
"Anko-nee did, I asked her after a while I was kind of embarrassing to ask a girl somehow. I tried to ask Dog-nii and Weasel-nii but they wouldn't tell me saying I was too young."
Zanichi just shook his head having already experienced Anko's bluntness he know that if Naruto asked she would have told him whether it was appropriate or not. It was too late for that but something else bothered him.
"Naruto, how do you know that Anko doesn't take other men to her apartment?"
"Well I asked her if I could see it but she wouldn't let me, I tried to follow her home but she would always notice me, so I tried when she would go pick up guys and was distracted but she would always go to either their place or one of the brothels. The madams respect Anko-nee a lot and let her use a room when she wants for free. I don't know why she never takes them but she never does. The number of guys she would go looking for has dropped a lot since we meet. I don't know she just spends more time with me and a kunoichi I don't know more now, then looking for guys."
Zanichi looked at his cousin once again surprised by the young boy.
"You know if I didn't know any better I would say you are far older then you appear Naruto you surprise me a lot."
"Anko-nee said the same thing. Are kids my age not like this? I was thinking that maybe it was an Uzumaki thing."
Zanichi thought for a minute, thinking about when he was younger and about the Uzumaki children he had helped his mother teach. Many of them would pick up the lessons faster than the non Uzumaki would and after thinking about the experiences Naruto had lived though he realize that was it. Naruto had just experienced a life of pain and harshness that most didn't experience until much later in life. Leading Naruto to develop a world view that was far more advanced than those his age would normally have.
"You know what Naruto you're right it is. I will be frank with you, you have experienced some difficult things in your life and being an Uzumaki you learned from those experiences. Most kids your age don't share your wisdom as they have not experienced the things you have. The harsh treatment from the villagers and living in the red light district with prostitutes being your onee-sans and let's not forget Anko. She is something else am I right."
Naruto laughed nodding his head in agreement.
"So I would say you are at least in life experiences far ahead of those your age, not to mention your skills with a bow and a skinning knife. Although you have a lot to learn still so don't get a big head ok."
Naruto nods his head again with a smile happy to have someone other than Anko to teach him about stuff. He liked her lessons but well it was Anko and the things she taught him didn't help get on the villager's good side if anything it was the opposite.
"Ok so we are going into the village to find out about getting supplies for the temple and we will see if we can find an architect to help with building the barracks for the samurai that will be here. After we get back from that I will start teaching you to control you're chakra so we can get you using a jutsu that will help me fix up the temple it was developed by the Nidaime with the help of his sister-in-law Uzumaki Mito it's called the Kage Bunshin it will let us build the barracks and get the rest of the temple back to its former glory much faster. It is a jutsu that will create physical copies of us and will let us have a large work force without the cost, plus it will let you work on your chakra control and build up your chakra. This jutsu was labeled as a kinjutsu because of the chakra cost but as an Uzumaki even one as young as you it will be fine. You should make two or three with little problem. I have a date tonight to get ready for and some chakra lessons for you so let's get going."
He stood up, as well as Naruto and they head out of the shrine. They make their way out into the village and look for an architect that they could get to work for them. They try a few construction companies until they walk into one meet a middle age man that told them that although he couldn't help them, not having any idea how what they would need he recommends an architect that designed the Anbu headquarters who worked a few streets away. Zanichi thanks the man who had treated him with far more respect than any of the other contractors he had talked to that afternoon. Most had treated him fine but the second they saw Naruto they would begin being hostile, which would lead Zanichi to simply walking out. They walk over to the shop were the architect that was recommended worked and entered the shop. It was filled with drawing supplies, modeling equipment, and an assortment of tools. A path to the front counter was formed through the clutter. Zanichi and Naruto walked up to the counter and ran the bell. They watched as a layer of dust was knocked off the bell when Naruto hit it. They heard a crashing noise from the back of the shop and a yelp.
"Hold on one minute, be right there."
Came a call from the direction of the crashing noise, then a short older man with a short goatee and shaved head stepped out from between the shelves behind the counter. He walked up to them and stepped up onto a stool hidden from sight.
"Hello and welcome to Destiny Design. You dream it I design it, I am the architect Dókan Óta at your service. How can I help you?"
The upbeat tone in Óta's voice was a much needed boost for the two Uzumaki.
"Good afternoon Dókan-san, I am Uzumaki Zanichi and this is my cousin. We were hoping that you would be able to help us redesign the Uzumaki temple in the village to house the samurai that will be staying in the village starting in the spring."
Óta looked at the tall samurai and squints. He reaches into a drawer and takes out a pair of eyeglasses and looks at Zanichi then Naruto.
"So you're the samurai that has the village in an up roar now. I would love to help you revitalize one of my favorite projects."
Zanichi looks at the man.
"You designed the temple?"
The older man nods.
"Yes I did it was a commission from Lady Mito herself. Although I was a much younger man then, it was my first real project and I have been very sad to see it deteriorate over the years. A young kunoichi, a relative of yours I would guess, Uzumaki Kushina had talked to me about restoring it but she passed on before we could make her dream a reality."
Naruto tries to get up on the counter to see the man. Zanichi sees him struggle and picks up the boy and puts him on the counter.
"You know my mother?"
"And who might this be? Well if it isn't the young Naruto the little scoundrel of the village now and you are the son of Kushina? Well I say that makes sense seeing you look just like her. Have you pranked anyone recently? I just love your work; you're just like your mother pranking everyone that made fun of her or her friend."
Zanichi and Naruto look at the old man stunned silent by his quick outburst.
"You like my pranks?"
Asked a flustered Naruto, Óta nods his head quickly.
"They are just great. Brings some life back to this village, it used to be a very different place before the third war. I don't know since then it's been much colder in the village. Your mother and her friends would raise all kinds of hell the three hikiko they were called. A regular trio of fiends they were. The only ones that could stop them once they started were the Yondaime and his two teammates I can't remember their names. I heard that at some point Kushina-chan and Minato-chan teammates ended up getting together. It's a shame the two of them never did they made such a cute pair."
Zanichi and Naruto were once again stunned by the old man. Both of their mouths hung open after hearing the old man call the Yondaime, Minato-chan. Zanichi was first to compose himself.
"Um Dókan-san not to sound rude but how old are you?"
"78. Why? O was I showing my age again I have such a bad habit of doing that."
"OK um Dókan-san would you be willing to work with us?"
"Of course my boy I would love to. How about we discuss what your plans are for the temple and I can draw up a few sketches and we look at them over some tea tomorrow."
"That sounds great."
Óta takes out a note pad and starts taking notes as Zanichi describes his vision of what the new samurai compound as Óta would call it whenever he asked for more detail on something could be. For an hour the two men talked and once or twice Naruto would add a little. Which surprised both men at how good the ideas of the six year old were and both would immediately praise the boy for his genius and incorporate his ideas. When they were done Óta had filled his notebook and asked Zanichi where he would like to meet and at what time.
"Any time that is good for you Dókan-san"
"Please call me Óta and how about a little after noon. Can take you to the teashop my granddaughter works at."
Naruto looks up at hearing that, and although he was more advanced in some areas then the children his age, he was still six thinking that Óta was trying to set Zanichi with his granddaughter.
"Zanichi-nii has a girlfriend already Óta-jiji."
Zanichi blushes and shoots the boy a glare, but Óta just laughs.
"Does he now and who would that be then?"
"Anko-nee"
Naruto says proudly. At hearing Anko's name Óta looks a little sad and looks at Zanichi questionably.
"Well I wouldn't say girlfriend yet but maybe after tonight, she is someone that I am hoping to pursue a relationship with. Though it seems that there is still much I have to learn about her she has been a good friend to Naruto. Plus I have always been a good judge of character and she is a good person despite what people say about her."
Óta gives Zanichi a knowing look which the young man instantly recognizes, but choices to ignore.
"It's good to see such a good young man like yourself see past that mask of hers. She has had a hard life and deserves s a little happiness. I wish you luck, with women like her you have to be patient. My late wife was a kunoichi, the wars had left her scarred and it was a hard time, some of the things she had done ate at her soul. It took a long time for the emotional scars to heal. I like to think I helped. Just be patient and if it is meant to be it will be."
"Thank you Dókan-san."
"What did I say it just Óta."
Zanichi chuckles.
"OK, ok thank you Óta. Have a good night I will see you tomorrow."
The two men stand up and shake hands. Zanichi and Naruto leave and head back Naruto's apartment. After word got out that Anko had claimed Zanichi as her own the girls left he be this time. Some greeted him and Naruto warmly, Naruto knowing who they were would return the greeting, then ask them how their day had been and if they needed anything. Most would just smile at the little boy trying to take care of his surrogate big sisters and would thank him and told him if they needed anything they would let him know. When they got to the apartment Zanichi instructed Naruto in same basic chakra control exercises that he wanted Naruto to practice and as Naruto set out to stick a leave from one of his potted plants to his forehead Zanichi got cleaned up for his date with Anko. They agreed to meet up at her apartment after Zanichi had finished is errands with Naruto and would make do with what they could find.
Anko told him of a few shinobi only bars that serviced good food and were open all night. He had said he wanted to take her someplace nice but she showed signs that she wasn't comfortable with being in some of the more upscale places the village boasted and he relented. He at least got her to agree to dress in something other than her trench coat and wire mesh. She had teased him asking if he didn't like it any more but he played it smoothly saying she would be sexy in any outfit she wore and that he wanted to see her in something that he could show her off in. She blushed at the way he spoke almost to say she was his; she had liked it, more than she was comfortable to admit. Zanichi walked out of the bathroom dressed in a simple pair of pants and tight sleeveless shirt with his wolf shoulder guard on. The bandages that had been wrapped on his arms were gone showing his tattoo covering his right forearm. He sees Naruto with his eyes shut in concentration, he already had a leaf stuck to his forehand but it was quivering slightly, telling Zanichi that Naruto was using too much chakra. 'Well that was quick,' he thought.
"Naruto you are using too much chakra rein it in a little."
Zanichi watched as his cousin followed his advice and pulled back on his chakra, as he slides his sword into the red sash he wore around his middle, but he pulls back too much and Zanichi watches as the leave fell to the floor, he hears Naruto swear softly.
"Don't worry you will get it."
Naruto opens his eyes and looks at his cousin.
"You heading out to meet Anko-nee? What is that tattoo?"
"Yup and I will tell you some other time. Meet you here in the morning and once you can perform the leave exercise to a level I am happy with we will go over the next exercise and you can start. You will probably finish it tonight or in the morning depending on how long you stay up."
Naruto nods and walks into the kitchen to make himself dinner.
"Have fun Zanichi-nii."
He called. Zanichi shook his head, 'my cousin is so odd, one minute he is a little boy the next he is an independent adult trapped in a child's boy. You are a mystery Naruto,' he thought as he walks out.
"Get some sleep Naruto tomorrow is going to be grueling. We are going to start clearing the gardens to try and get them back under control."
"I am more worried about you Zanichi-nii, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow Naruto."
Zanichi arrives outside Anko's apartment building and walks up the stairs to her apartment. Right before the he can knock on the door it swings open revealing Anko in a tight pair of pants with a loose black blouse with the collar cut in a V down to her belly button made of thin material that despite its lose fit showed off her breasts and curves seductively, hinting at what lay beneath it. With her hair down and pinned to the side showing off more of her face and letting Zanichi see her earrings, a simple pair that looked like snake coiled around a kunai in her ears. She had a little eye shadow making her eyes intense to look at, and purple lipstick that made her lips shine. To put it bluntly Zanichi was awe struck by the goddess that stood before him and was completely speechless, his mouth slightly open, and watering hungry for the beauty standing before him. Anko gave him a nervous chuckle after seeing his reaction.
"How do I look?"
The question was innocent enough but the nervous way she asked was lost on him still in awe that he was about to go on a date with her. She crossed her arm in front of her stomach and held on to the elbow of her other arm. Not knowing how to act, she had asked Nai-chan to help her look more feminine for her date that night and wasn't sure what his reaction would be.
"Um Zanichi are you ok?"
He finally snaps out of his trance and he gives her a light affectionate kiss. Noticing that she was wearing heels adding a little height making kissing that much easier for him.
"You are easily the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Ok, change of plans we are going somewhere nice. A simple bar is no place for a goddess like you."
Anko freaks out.
"No Zanichi please, its ok I don't mind simple it's fine."
She pleads, he looks at her and sees the look on her face and remembers what Óta had said that afternoon.
"Ok if that is what you want. But you have to wear this again when my teammates get here in the spring they think I am incapable of getting a smoking hottie to go out with me and I want to hub you in their faces cause you are the hottest woman I have ever met or seen in my life."
Anko blushes.
"Ok I promise to help you get back at your team."
She takes his arm when he offers it and they head out to the bar area. Zanichi doesn't even try to readjust his sword knowing that Anko already had it in the perfect place for him to draw it and still be as close to him as possible. Unbeknown to him another woman was hiding in the shadow of Anko's apartment listening to their whole conversation and had seen his reaction to her appearance. The woman stepped out of the apartment and watched as the two left smiling to herself. Kurenai Yúhi watched her best friend go. She thought about how Anko had showed up at her apartment that afternoon frantic not knowing what she was going to do for her date. It had taken Kurenai 20 minutes to calm the snake mistress down to figure out what was going on and after Anko explained that she had a date with the samurai here to negotiate the treaty she promised to help get her ready. They had gone back to Anko's apartment only to find simple training clothes, three sets of Anko's infamous mesh body suit and several different colored mini-skirts and insisted they go shopping. Anko had been completely lost when picking out clothes, but as it stood Kurenai had to talk Anko into trying on everything she showed her using Zanichi as a taunt to get her over her embarrassment at wearing girlie clothes as Anko had put it. Kurenai just shook her head thinking about how the Uzumakis in Anko's life had changed her so much.
First the little outcast who reminded her so much of herself as a child calling her out on her loneliness and pain that had caused her to start down a self-destructive path that temporally ended their friendship, but after a few months with the boy leading to Anko apologizing to Kurenai and asking if she wanted to mend their friendship. Then this man now who had unknowing sparked a desire in Anko that she disclosed to Kurenai scared her a little, forcing her way outside her comfort zone. She had pointed at her bed and almost screamed, 'He slept here with me last night. I let some guy I just met sleep in my bed with me, slept not just sex, but cuddle, pillow talk everything. I never do that its always just sex then I leave end of story and I have never let a guy in my bed not to mention my apartment, not even Naruto has been here who is a little boy and who is the longest relationship have had with any male since him.' She spat, Kurenai just chuckled and told her the last thing she wanted to hear 'you're in love with him.' but she stops with her mouth open about to reply and rushes to the door, to meet the man that was the cause behind the final return Anko's old personally. She was happy for her best friend, 'I will have to thank them both if it wasn't for these Uzumaki I would have never gotten my friend back and this afternoon was so much fun, she is totally in love with him even if she doesn't know It, all she did was talk about him,' Kurenai blushed thinking about the conversation they had when looking for clothes, being Anko it had been pretty graphic.
Anko takes Zanichi to the bar area in the village. Many of the shinobi and villagers stop and gape at the kunoichi and samurai as they walk by. The walk by them not noticing too absorbed in their own world to even care.
"So where is this bar you are taking me to?"
"It's just a little bit more, be patient. O and you should know this is a shinobi only bar since you are a samurai you might have some problems but you are with me so the chances are small, and I know you might think this is just a bar but it is a bit more than that because it is the only place where shinobi can just relax and have fun. So music, dancing I haven't been here in a long time I am looking forward to it."
"Ok any rules I should know about then?"
She nods.
"Yes first there will be kids drinking in there its ok as they are ninja and you know, old enough to kill, old enough to drink, second if a fight happens don't try to break it up there are no bouncers and you are expected to finish your fight, it's an honor and reputation thing."
Zanichi nods understanding.
"Also if you do get into a fight no weapons or ninjutsu though for you I don't think the no ninjutsu rule will be a problem but you cannot draw you sword ok."
Zanichi sighs, but nods. Which makes Anko smile.
"For the record I do know some ninjutsu."
Zanichi said which throw Anko for a loop forgetting she was explaining the rules of the bar to him.
"Really, like what?"
"I can use the Kage Bunshin and I have a summoning contract with the wolves of the Sanró Mountains and a couple raiton jutsu that I use for long range, plus a few things that made my clan famous."
Anko gasped after hearing that a samurai could do all that.
"What I said the second division are ninjaish plus my mother was trained as a kunoichi."
Anko thought for a moment.
"I want to see your summons, so it to me."
"What right now," she nods," no even the smallest of the wolves are the size of a grown man and my summons is considered huge by their standards."
"But I want to see him."
She whines like a little kid and pouts. Zanichi laughs at her antics and relents.
"Fine, fine but just to let you know he is a she ok."
She squeals in victory. Zanichi shakes his head as he bites he thumb then slams it into the ground. A howl sounds out of the smoke that formed from his jutsu causing all the villages to flinch and run away. A black wolf with blue eyes and crimson spirals on it shoulders, twice the size of a wagon stands before them. It looks down at them; first at Zanichi then Anko. It takes a whiff of Anko then snorts on her.
"Zanichi-kun, why have you summoned me? There are no enemies here to fight."
Anko is surprised by the sound of the summons' voice; it was surprisingly gentle and soft.
"I am sorry to have disturbed you Ókamika-chan I was telling Anko about you and the other wolves and she wanted to meet you."
"Is that so and who is she Zanichi-kun? She smells like snakes, I am not a fan of snakes."
Anko hears the ways Ókamika says snakes and wishes she hadn't forced Zanichi to summon her, but after she hears what Zanichi says next she wants to jump for joy.
"This is Anko my girlfriend and I know how you feel about snakes but she isn't like that and you will be nice, ok."
The large wolf just scoffed and smelled Anko again.
"At least she is a strong snake she will make a good mate for you Zanichi-kun. It is nice to meet you Anko-chan; I hope we will get along even if you smell like snakes, and I will not tell you mother you are in a relationship will a kunoichi from Konoha Zanichi-kun."
Zanichi shutters and Anko looks at her new boyfriend questionably.
"Thank you, Ókamika-chan, tell Ókaminadare that I said hi.
"I will let mother know you wish her well and Anko-chan if you hurt my Zanichi-kun I will rip you to pieces. Have a nice evening."
Ókamika disappears in a cloud of smoke then.
Anko was confused but happy at the same time. Confused because she had no idea what the wolf was talking about not liking snakes and why would Zanichi be worried about his mother knowing if he was in a relationship with a Konoha kunoichi.
"Did you mean it, what you said to Ókamika?"
"What that you're my girlfriend yes of course. I mean if you want to be I might be going a little fa-"
He doesn't get to finish as Anko places a huge kiss on his lips.
"Yes, yes, yes I want to be your girlfriend."
Anko blushes when she realizes she had just screamed that out loud. Both smile, Anko resting her head on his arm, as they start walking again. Anko finishes explaining the rules of the bar and Zanichi promises not to cause a scene unless provoked. Then they get there Anko points out the entrance to the on the outside of the third floor.
"That's why it's a shinobi only bar they only way up is to walk up the wall. Um I think I might have made a mistake in picking this top if I walk up the wall my breasts will be completely visible."
"And how is that a problem you wear a mesh body suit."
"Well ya but you can't see though it with all the layers of fine metal mesh and well um I don't want anyone other than…"
"Anyone other than me to see, right."
She blushes.
"I belong to only you now."
She whispers, Zanichi kisses her then surprising her by picking her up bridal style.
"What are you doing?"
"If you can't walk then I will just carry you, hold on."
Following his command she puts her arms around his neck as he bends his knees.
"No way you can't jump that high your crazyyyyyyy."
She says as he jumps up the force of his acceleration pushes her face against his chest. Next thing she sees is the door to the bar in front of her. Zanichi puts her down to stand on her own.
"I can't believe you just jumped up here."
She starts giggling.
"That was fun."
Zanichi just smiles and opens the door to the bar and they walk in the two of them get everyone in the room's attention when they walk in. Everyone wanting to see who it was after feeling the chakra that it took for Zanichi to jump three stories. Now they couldn't stop staring, all the ninja at Anko in her sexy outfit and the kunoichi staring at Zanichi in his tight shirt showing off his muscular frame. Both Anko and Zanichi could feel the hungry predatory stares each other were getting from their respective opposite sex. Causing both to put their arm around each other's waists and blasted a wave of killer intent out at the other bar patrons.
Both thinking, 'he/she is mine, back off' they others in the bar hurriedly go back to their drinks. Anko and Zanichi sit at a table in the back of the room and order drinks and food when a waitress walks by. Anko asks him how the meeting with the council went. He told her and thanked her for the information she gave him that morning it had proven helpful. She was pissed about the way the Uchiha clan head had attacked him and had laughed when he told her about the way Teuchi silence the greedy councilwoman. She asked why Ókamika didn't like snakes.
"Her father was killed by the chief snake summons Manda of the Ryúchi Caves. She was really young and he died protecting her and her brothers and sister it really affected her and so she dislikes snakes as a rule. Don't worry once she gets to know you it will be fine."
"O ok well I hold the summing contract for the snakes of Ryúchi Caves for our generation. I don't like Manda nor does my primary summons does."
"Then everything will be fine, trust me."
"I do Zanichi. But what about your mother, why did she say she would tell your mother about me?"
"That is not about you and more about the village. I will tell you later it's not something I want to talk about in public its clan stuff."
"Alright later then don't think you're off the hook lover boy."
"Wouldn't dream of it."
Their orders arrive and the eat sharing each other's dinner. After a few more drinks she asked him what he did to anger the Hokage for him to raise his chakra to that level. Zanichi finished his drink and slammed it on the table cracking the glass. The noise caught the attention of some of the people sitting nearby.
"That wasn't the Hokage, it was me. That arrogant prick Hyúga Hiashi called me and the samurai of the Guard weak, so I showed him how weak I am."
He started laughing.
"The civvies in the room collapsed under the pressure I created. The looks on the clan heads faces were priceless. Haha, it was great and the Hokage is something else I will give him that he didn't even flinch."
Anko looks at him, and then at the people around them, 'here we go,' she thought to herself. They had heard him call himself a samurai and that he had humiliated the council. Normally it wouldn't be a problem but he wasn't a shinobi and he wasn't from the village so now it was a problem. They stood up and walked over to the table.
"Did I hear you right you're a samurai?"
"Shit I was too loud wasn't I?"
Anko just laughs at his tone and nods her head.
"These idiots want to kick me out of the bar, don't they?"
Anko laughs harder nodding her head again.
"So all because I, a samurai, made fools out of your pussy ass council they are going to pick a fight with me."
Anko completely loses it, she starts laughing so hard she almost falls out of her top next to him. The four ninja lose their patience and yell at Zanichi.
"Shut your mouth you samurai trash and shut that snake bitch up."
That wasn't the best thing to do as both Anko and Zanichi are a little drunk. Anko stops laughing and wipes the tears from laughing so hard from her eyes and looks at the four ninja. Her expression was venomous, unnerving the ninja. Some jonin sitting on the other side of the bar was watching what was happening after Anko started laughing. Zanichi face was blank, any sign of drunken merriment gone. 'This is going to be good,' thought the jonin.
"Hey you, you're not going to step in right?"
The jonin simply dips his head.
"No weapons right?"
Again he dips his head.
"Ok then."
He pulls his sword from the sash at his waist and hands it to Anko.
"Hold this for me Hebihime."
Anko smiles.
"Of course, my shogun."
She says his pet name seductively extremely turned on by what he was doing and the killing intent he was putting off. He stands up and pushes his chair in. He turns towards the ninja and disappears. The jonin's eyes go wide; Zanichi is standing behind the four ninja. He slams the heads of the two in the middle heads together; they fall to the floor knocked out cold, blood coming out of their ears. The other two look over, but he is gone before they can catch sight of him. The one on the left suddenly flies up into the air and hits the ceiling so hard it cracks; he falls to the floor on top of his two comrades. Last is the leader who had insulted Anko, Zanichi start taunting the ninja, still moving so fast that he couldn't be seen.
"So you think you can take me little ninja? You think you are so mighty and strong that you can insult my woman and get away with it? Do you even know who I am? No I don't think you do, if you did you would have just sat there and enjoyed your drink."
Zanichi stops moving behind the ninja and whispers in his ear.
"Let me tell you who I am, little ninja."
His hand snaps to the neck of the ninja and lifts him in the air and holds him there.
"I am Uzumaki Zanichi Vice-Captain of the Second Division of the Iron Guard, the Wolf Blade of Sanró."
This caused everyone in the bar to stare at him and Anko's eyes went wide. She looked at the sword he had handed her; it was too short to be the Ókami Kami no Ken which was known to be an ódachi. She pulls it from the sheath and sees the saw like back of the blade, her eyes go wide again, 'my boyfriend is the only samurai to ever be but into the Bingo Books.' The ninja in this grip wets himself in fear. Zanichi sees the wet stain and he throws the ninja out the window, the other ninja in the bar look at him.
"What he pissed himself I didn't want to get urine on the floor that smell is a bitch to get rid of."
The Inuzuka in the room nod their heads in agreement and go back to their drinks. Zanichi steps over the bodies of the knocked out ninja and Anko stand up to meet him, and proceeds to kiss him passionately. When they part for a breath Zanichi kisses her cheek lightly.
"Not like I am complaining but what was that for?"
"For defending me, no one ever has. Now let's head back to the apartment I want to reward you some more."
Zanichi smiles and head to the bar behind him Anko slides the Ókami Kami no Ken back into his sash. He pays off their tab and turns to leave and sees Itachi and another Uchiha walk in. He greets Itachi with his arm around Anko's waist.
"What did you do Zanichi-san?"
"Nothing just defended my girl."
Was all he said before they left.
