Chapter Eighteen: The Trap

"So does anyone here have any idea of how to stop Anko from getting to the restaurant and her date with Gaara?" asked Genma. Hana, Iwashi, and Ebisu immediately raised their hands. Genma pointed at Hana.

"We could sic a very large dog on her!" Hana suggested with pride

"No, she could just kill the dog." Genma said. Hana got a look of horror in her eyes before withdrawing her suggestion.

"We could lure her into the bathhouse and then…"

"NEXT!" Genma shouted before Ebisu could even finish.

"I could stab her with my extremely pointy beard." Said Iwashi. Everyone just stared at him. Then someone started chuckling. Hana, Iwashi, Genma, and Ebisu turned to see Baki laughing at them.

"Fools," Baki said, "I have already set up the perfect trap to catch Anko. First I set a plate of dango on the ground. Then I set up a cardboard box over the dango. Since Anko is a person I used a very large cardboard box. Holding this box up is a stick. When Anko goes for the dango she will knock the stick over thus activating the trap. I even installed a bell so that we will know when she is trapped. It's perfect."

"Baki, that is possibly the dumbest…"

DING DING DING

Baki just smiled as he led the others towards his trap. Indeed Anko was in it. However the Not-So-Super team had forgotten one thing.

Anko had enough weaponry on her to cut her way out of thousands of cardboard boxes.

As Anko began to advance on the NSS team they all felt a deep sense of impending doom, and the rest of Konoha knowing that the NSS team had failed to prevent Anko's date felt an even deeper sense of impending doom.
