A/N: The really awesome fight paring is mentioned during this chapter... if you haven't figured it out already then yeah... enjoy!
Chapter 69: A bit of Anko
In town, Kiba, Usopp and Akamaru were helping rebuilding a house.
"I wonder what Orochimaru did to Anko." Said Usopp.
"I don't know… I'm not really much of a Kage fan as Naruto is… but it must be pretty bad." Said Kiba.
"I've heard." Said a voice.
They saw a young woman hold drinks and snack for the two, and a bowl of dog food for Akamaru.
"You two must be hungry… why don't you take a break on fixing my house." Said the woman.
The three took a break and Akamaru reverted to being a dog.
"So what did you hear?" asked Kiba sitting down.
"That the reason why Orochimaru was disgraced from being a Kage was disregard for human life. Almost every human he comes into contact with is an experiment to him. No one knows why he does it… but he does it." Said the young woman.
"And Anko was one his experiments?" asked Usopp in shock.
"Yes… she's one of the few survivors from one of his experiments. Even so, she must have seen horrible things while as his apprentice it's no wonder why she's the way she is." Said the young woman.
The other two nodded, after hearing all those things about, if she was used as some sort of experiment by the man how was supposed to teach her… then yes, it's no wonder she's like that.
Meanwhile in the forest Anko was looking around when she saw something move in the forest.
"I know you're out there!" said Anko taking out kabob skewers.
That's when Jirobo came out of the trees.
"Well isn't the fat tub of lard." Said Anko.
There was an awkward silence.
"Why are you expecting me to say "Hey I'm not fat, I'm..."" said Jirobo who couldn't come up with something to say.
""Big boned", "Pleasantly plump", "Muscle bound", "Buff"… those sort of things." Said Anko with a shrug, "I was just hopping you'd go along with it."
"Either way it's time…" said Jirobo.
Jirobo slammed his hands into the ground with it breaking apart, Anko managed to jump before the fissure could suck her in. Jirobo then tossed several large rocks at Anko who managed to doge in mid-air.
"Man fatty… I didn't think you'd be taking it easy." Said Anko.
"I'm not… we're under strict orders to not use our curse seals during this mission." Said Jirobo, "My theory is that Tayuya has been complaining that she's not allowed to use it on her mission."
Anko narrowed her eyes, "What is her mission…" said Anko hopping to get some more action in after this.
"That's none of your business." Said Jirobo glaring at her.
"I think it is my business." Said Anko with a smirk.
That's when Anko summoned many clones…
"That trick again!" shouted Jirobo.
He sent more large rocks at Anko's clones… some of them dodged, but the ones that didn't melted into mud.
"Earth Clones!" said Jirobo.
Anko appeared behind with a cabob skewer to his neck.
"Just because my specialty is snake clones doesn't mean that's all I know. I am a Kage after all." Said Anko with a smirk.
That's when Jirobo punched Anko in the gut, but that's when she dissolved into mud.
"Another clone." Said Jirobo.
"How about a little deal." Said Anko with a smirk, "I win I get the info of The Bitch's mission."
"What would I get in return?" asked Jirobo.
"A whole lot of nothing." Said Anko.
Jirobo merely glared at the Anko that tried to make the deal but threw a rock at her… which of course melted into mud.
"You know you're at a an extreme disadvantage… you're the weakest member of your team and you're not allowed to use the Cursed Seal… I'm not the strongest Kage but I'm still stronger than you are… give up!" said one of the Ankos with a smirk.
"There's no way!" said Jirobo.
"It's your funeral." Said one of the Ankos.
All of the Anko drew Kabob skewers.
"There's no way I'm failing for that!" said Jirobo.
He managed to hit all of the clones with an attack with several punches, that's when all but one dissolved into mud, Anko was sent into a nearby tree.
"You really think that was going to work on me?" asked Jirobo.
"Of course not." Said Anko getting up summoning more clones.
"This again?" asked Jirobo punching one of the clones… however he didn't expect it to turned into snakes that wrapped around him.
"So are you going to surrender now?" asked Anko with a smirk.
Jirobo began to struggle against the snakes… the weird thing is that he seemed to be winning… the snakes began hiss in pain Anko lifted her sleeves and the snake seemed to be into it.
"I forgot how strong you were." Said Anko.
Jirobo merely smirked as he forced his arms into the ground… the earth rose above Anko and her clones placing them in a dome of earth.
"I forgot you could do this too." Said Anko.
That's when all of her clones dissolved into snakes on their own, so she lifted her arms and the snakes once again went in on their own.
"I almost forgot the fat ass has the ability to suck the chi and prevent clone users to make clones while in here." Thought Anko, "But I remembered something else…"
"Hey!" she yelled, "I was wondering if you've been having chest pain I mean with all the food you eat you should."
There was no answer…
"I was wondering if you're considering going on a diet, other wide I'll just make fat jokes." Said Anko.
There was still no answer.
"Hey… have you tried something along the lines of "I'm not fat, I'm big boned"… it might be fun…" said Anko.
Yes again no answer.
"So I was wondering… has Orochimaru made a pass at you yet or is he just having sex with the bone guy!" yelled Anko.
"For the last time! Lord Orochimaru is not gay!" yelled Jirobo suddenly offended.
Anko smirked at where the voice came from, she trend around and took out a small bomb. She also lit it and threw the bomb at the opposite side of where Jirobo's voice came from… the blast destroyed the wall and she managed to exist the earthen dome… right before it crumbled.
"I almost forgotten how much you Sound Members are touchy about Orochimaru's… preference." Said Anko with a smirk, "Your almost as touchy as he is."
Jirobo glared at Anko, who once again summoned clones.
"What your planning won't work on me." Said Jirobo punching one of the clones, the clone once again dissolved into snakes and wrapped around him.
"Oh you think you're just going to get out aren't you… I have a big surprise for you this time." Said Anko with a sadistic smile.
That's when one of the snakes that wrapped around Jirobo bit him… he hissed in pain as the snake took out it's poisonous fangs.
"Most people just realize the strangling power of snakes… they usually forget that a true master of a snake clone can also get their snakes to bite their victims." Said Anko still smiling sadistically.
"Why you." Muttered Jirobo.
Anko took out a small smile of liquid, "This is the anti-venom. I'll give it to you if you tell me what the red harried bitches mission is."
Jirobo sighed, "All I know about her mission is that she's teamed up with Kabuto for a spy mission. I'm sorry but Lord Orochimaru didn't tell any of us what the exact mission was." Said Jirobo.
Anko stared at Jirobo and knew he was telling the truth.
"Fine…" muttered Anko who once again flick her wrist to let Jirobo go and tossed the vial of anti-venom to him.
Jirobo sat up, it was clear the poison was staring to affect him, "By the way Anko… Kidomaru is following that boy to the cave."
"I see…" said Anko who realized that Kidomaru was one of two people either the spider guy or the bone guy, "Either one is bad for a novice like him…" he said running off.
Jirobo took the vial and swallowed, even if she did give him something who knew whether or not it was the anti-venom… after they didn't call her that crazy bitch for nothing.
Elsewhere in the forest Zoro was wandering around when he felt something behind him.
"I know you're out there." Said Zoro.
That's when Kimimaro came out of the nearby bushes.
"So your one that guys I'm supposed to fight." Said Zoro with a smirk.
Kimimaro didn't stay anything… he just looked at Zoro… all that was known was that battle was going to happen… a really, really awesome battle!
Next Time: Vivi tells Ino about her past... about her family... about her ties to the Royal Family of Alabasta. What are they, and does she have a member of her family that's still alive? Meanwhile Zoro starts fighting Kimimaro... and discovers the truth of his fighting style.
A/N: I hope I didn't delude myself into thinking that fight would be the most awesome fight paring ever in a fan fic... I hope...
