Guest Appearance: Kabuto in a flashback

Memories

Anko sighed.

Why was she sighing?

Because she was still mad about the fact that Orochimaru was alive, walking, talking, and giving out curse seals. Oh, but at least he was armless.

To any of her jounin co-workers this wasn't normal. After all, she was Naruto-ish according to everyone. That meant wild parties, reckless decisions, and of course loudness.

Kurenai tried to comfort her by offering chocolate and other sweets but alas it did not work. Kakashi even offered to take off his mask, but much to everyone's "surprise" he bailed out on the last minute saying that he needed to meet his students. Psh.....

Anko cried as she recalled of the times she and Orochimaru had together. There were bad times as well as good times. But it all ended when he had deserted the village when he couldn't become Hokage. It was the most eminent memory she had of him.

Flashback

"No Orochimaru, you can't become 4th Hokage."

"Why not?????"

"Hm......good question...because you're skin is too white, it might freak out some of the civilians, oh yeh, and you're a tad too evil on the Hokage scale." The Sandaime stroked his almost nonexistent beard, "plus I've already chosen a Yondaime."

Out of the corner Jiraiya was making faces at Orochimaru, since after all his student was chosen over him.

"If this is about your missing play ninja magz, I..I didn't do it honest!!! It was Jiraiya!!!" Orochimaru blurted.

"Heyyyyy!!!!" Jiraiya shouted, "white snake loving bastard..." he muttered.

The Sandaime gave each of them odd looks.

"FINE!!!! I'll just run away and create my own village, with malls, tanning salons, and kick-ass ninjas!!!!"

Orochimaru then thought, that it would be best to kidnap little children of advanced bloodline ninjas since training would probably be a little bit too hard for him. After all, Anko hadn't turned out to quite what he expected. She was supposed to be white with dark, over mascara applied eyes, and have an evil laugh but instead, she was....eh...rather comical, cheery, and evil-free. Damn, nice try though.

"Sorry, what did you say? My Alzheimers was kicking in." The Sandaime scratched his head. Jiraiya and Orochimaru merely looked at each other and shrugged. Jiraiya didn't want his Sensei to find out that he had nicked his play ninja mags while Orochimaru didn't want sensei to exile him from the village...yet. So they chose their words carefully, chiming out:

"Nothing, Sarutobi-Sensei" they replied. Orochimaru feeling blue then went to his dark secret underground lair to write in his diary.

"Dear Diary....." he started, but then he looked up. He had left too many bodies unoperated on, and it was starting to smell. They were also starting to attract rather unsightly bugs of many sizes. Orochimaru sighed, guess its time for the monthly body disposal, maybe he should paint the lair pink, or a lighter color to relflect the light better. He walked over and started stuffing the bodies in garbage bags.

Enter: Sandaime...blahblahblah

End Flash back

The meer memory, unfortuneatly had widened the flow of her continuous tears. But about that time, Kurenai and Iruka, the only 2 people left in the jounin's lounge due to Anko's excessive floodings, had had enough, proceeded to knock her out, and drag her to the nearest bar.

After indulging herself in a few bottles of sake, Anko had become her good ol self again. At least that was what she looked like. But then again, alcohol triggered the side of the brain that goaded you to do crazy things. Jackass-esq crazy things to be more precise.

Kurenai turned around from her conversation (particularly about things that were green, ugly and clashed with her clothes) with Iruka after she heard a loud "CRASH" to find that Anko had jumped through the window.

Iruka and Kurenai both bounded after her. Normally drunk Jounins weren't something the general public feared but in Anko's case, everyone panicked. Mothers and children shut their doors, windows, and retreated to their bomb-shelters. Fathers and sons loaded their tranquilizers and put protective seals around their homes.

"Whoah, to think that Anko instigated this much fear in people..." Iruka sighed, "But at least it makes the search easier." What was he smoking when he offered to comfort Anko? Oh well, as the guy who sympathizes with everyone, it was Iruka's job to comfort people with parental unit/friend/teacher losses, no excuses. But that's what everyone loves about Iruka ï
