Chapter 2: A crazy snake lady and the sky
The following day all the fresh new Genin were at the academy awaiting the announcement of what squads they would be placed in and which they would be under. It was with a heavy heart that Ryouske sat near the window with his head resting on his upright arm, his thoughts turning to Naruto and wondering if he would be alright after having not passed the exam. It was then that Namito hopped into the seat next to him and patted his shoulder to get his friends attention. "Hey, you alright there Ryo? Are you worrying about Naruto?" Namito asked looking at his friend with curiosity. Ryouske just nodded and looked at him "Yea, I hope he is alright. Not passing the exam was rough". It was just then that a certain blonde haired knucklehead walked through the door into the room, his face adorned with a beaming grin and on his head was a leaf village headband. Needless to say that everyone was shocked, none more so than Ryouske and Namito who soon cheered and went up to their friend to give his congratulations and demanding to tell them how he managed to pass.
Naruto merely grinned as he started his tale "well, Mizuki sensei came up to me yesterday and told me about how Iruka isn't against me and how he is like me, he then told me that if I managed to learn a jutsu from the sacred scroll of sealing I would be able to pass the exam, so naturally I slipped in and borrowed the scroll." Naruto's eyes soon went down as his grin started to turn into one of slight anger "but after I had learned a jutsu and Iruka had found me, Mizuki showed up and revealed his true colours, he wanted the scroll for himself. After I ran he disguised himself as Iruka and tried to get me to give the scroll to him, but Iruka was disguised as me and barged Mizuki. I then overheard Iruka saying good things about me and that gave me the courage to face Mizuki, I told him if he ever laid a hand on my sensei I would kill him. It was then that I used my new jutsu, the Shadow Clone jutsu, to make 2,000 clones of me and we all pummelled into Mizuki. After that Iruka gave me his headband and said that I passed and that I was now a Genin, so here I am."
Naruto's grin returned as he took in the shocked expression of his friends, who then wore expressions of pride and clapped their friend on the back. "Bah, I wasn't worried at all, I knew you would pass all along." Ryouske stated crossing his arms behind his head coolly while Namito rolled his eyes grinning and punched the chilling youth in the shoulder. "Bullshit, you were wondering if he would be ok, typical you act so tough" it was then that all 3 friends grinned and went to take their seats with Namito and Ryouske taking seats in front of Naruto talking heatedly, that was until a cacophony of noise pulled them from their conversation as they looked over at the source of the commotion and all groaned out loud.
The source of the noise turned out to be the class prodigy, Sasuke Uchiha sitting down while, as usual, his gaggle of fan girls goggled and drooled over him. One of them, a girl with long pink hair held back by her headband being used as a hairband and wearing a red kind of dress with black shorts, strode over to Naruto and demanded he move so she could sit next to Sauske. This certain girl was called Sakura Haruno, a girl that Naruto was, much to the displeasure of Ryouske and Namito as they thought he could do better, very fond of. She was also one of the loudest people in class with Ryouske even dubbing her the class "Howler Monkey" between him, Namito and Naruto. Ryouske then turned to tell Naruto to not let her push him around when his elbow accidently nudged Naruto and all were silent in the room as they beheld the scene in front of them.
*SMOOOOOOOOCH*
It seemed that Naruto had been crouched on the desk in front of Sauske glaring at him when Ryouske accidently nudged him. This of course made Naruto fall forward and, much to the shock of the Uchiha fangirls, him and Sauske ended up in a kiss. Ryouske and Namito soon pulled Naruto back as he held his throat spitting and rubbing his lips as if poisoned, but his trouble did not end there as the fangirls soon rounded on Naruto and proceeded to wail on him into a beaten pulp with Ryouske and Namito comforting Naruto afterwards. "Well, at least you finally lost your first kiss eh? So uhh I guess it isn't so ba….OW!" Namito began trying to make light of the situation but instead received Ryouskes fist down on his head to shut him up. "Damn, what the hell was that for?!" Namito asked only for Ryouske to shake his head and nod at Naruto "I don't think you were helping genius" with this Namito rubbed the back of his head and just turned around to look at Iruka who had now entered the room.
"Settle down now class. I will now begin to tell you which squads and sensei you have been assigned to so listen up." He then proceeded to go down the list soon coming to squad 7 "Squad 7 will be Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki (a cheer from Naruto and a groan from Sakura was heard) and Sasuke Uchiha (a cheer was heard from Sakura this time while a FUCK! was heard from Naruto) and your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake". Ryouske and Namito looked at their friend giving looks of encouragement until Iruka then continued with the squad announcements. "Squad 8 will be Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuuga and Shino Abarame and your sensei will be Kurenai Yuri. Squad 10 will be Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi and your sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi" Iruka continued while Ryouske just shook his head at the Naras luck. "Stuck on a squad with the Uchihas second most annoying fan, sucks to be you man" he said only to receive a shrug from Shikamaru.
Ryouske's ears then perked up at the mention of his name and he looked over at Iruka. "Squad 13 will be Ryouske Tenno, Namito and Lukyo Mooresaki" at this Ryouske looked over at Lukyo who was a ninja with short brown hair, hazel eyes and glasses, wearing a white shirt underneath a dark blue jacket and black trousers. Ryouske had never really spoken to him but was eager to see what he was like. Iruka then continued "Your sensei will be….." Iruka was then interrupted as a black bundle crashed through the window and 4 kunai implanted themselves into the walls and ceiling as the black banner unrolled to reveal white letters and a woman. The woman had dark purple hair that was in a spiked ponytail and was wearing a fishnet shirt that did not really cover anything with a tan jacket over this shirt and a brown skirt to accompany the outfit. The banner, they saw, read "ANKO MITARASHI, THE SEXIEST SENSEI IN THE LEAF VILLAGE".
The students in the room all looked at the woman with shocked looks as the woman in question grinned and looked around at them giving her lips a quick lick. "So which of you lucky maggots got put into squad 13?" Anko asked and as if on cue, all eyes turned to Ryouske, Namito and Lukyo as the three in question just stared at the clearly eccentric woman. Anko stared at the three while giving her lips another lick and her grin turned wider "well aren't you three lucky, you get to be the students of the great Anko Mitarashi. You should feel honoured", she then started chuckling only for Namito to lift his head up after having slammed it onto the desk. "Yeeeeeaaaa, honoured lets go with that" this statement caused a few chuckles around the room while Ryouske, having facepalmed himself at her entrance, looked at Iruka for an answer, "Has this woman seen the village psychiatrist at all?" he asked. This of course caused everyone in the room to break into laughter as Anko looked at Ryouske clearly pissed and leant down at him to glare in his eyes, "I'm going to enjoy breaking you the most, you mouthy little shit!" she said grinding her teeth as Ryouske returned her glare, only for it to turn to a laugh once more as Iruka bonked Anko on her head with his clipboard receiving a yelp of pain from the purple haired kunoichi.
Iruka sighed and looked at Anko, "alright Anko enough just go ahead and take your squad out already" he ordered shooing a grumbling Anko and her new squad out of the room. The squad then met at training ground 13 so that Anko could get to know them more, she sighed in boredom as she sat on the ground looking at her new students, two of which were sat against a tree waiting to start while Ryouske was simply lounging on a branch on his back with his arms under his head and his eyes closed. "Alright half-pints, time to get to know each other so one at a time go ahead and tell me more about yourself, your name, hobbies, likes dislikes, dreams for the future etc. I'll start ya off, my name is Anko Mitarashi and my hobbies include training, interrogation and punking young rookies. I like dango and other such sweets, my dislikes are snakes, people who use other people for their own means and people who are too arrogant, (AN: hypocrite much? XP) and my dream for the future is to bring a certain S – rank criminal to justice."
At her explanation both Namito and Lukyo raised their eyebrows while Ryouske merely opened his sapphire eye and then closed it clearly bored. Anko then pointed at Lukyo who pushed his glasses up his nose and smiled at her. "My name is Lukyo Mooresaki, my hobbies include reading, playing cards and increasing my knowledge. My likes are peace and quiet, hanging with friends and eating good food, my dislikes are disloyal people, bullies and people who are just plain disrespectful. My dream for the future is to just enjoy a nice quiet life." He finally finished by once again pushing his glasses up his nose, and once again Ryouske opened up is eye but this time when he closed it, the smirk was replaced with a friendly smile "seems like I'm going to like this guy."
Anko nodded and then pointed at Namito who, with his usual gusto, grinned widely and rubbed a finger under his nose. "My name is Namito. My hobbies include pranking, playing games and napping, my likes are ramen, my best friends Ryouske and Naruto and training, my dislikes are people who look down on others, people who would abandon their comrades and people that disrespect my friends. My dream for the future is to be Hokage." At that Ryouske let out a laugh and shook his head with a smile knowing full well his friends dream.
Anko rolled her eyes at the generic dream and then turned her eyes to Ryouske, "alright chuckles your turn." Ryouske opened both his eyes and turned his head to the right to look down at her. "My name is Ryouske Tenno. My hobbies include pranking, reading and training. The things I like are Naruto and Namito, pervy humour, ramen and dango. My dislikes are disrespectful people, criminals and people who treat Naruto like scum. My dream for the future is to bring peace to the ninja world and to become a ninja that rivals the Sannin in power and respect." At his explanation Anko raised an eyebrow, deep in thought. "Wait… Tenno…isn't he the one who….this could be interesting" she licked her lips at this thought, excited about what this boy could have in store.
With introductions finally out of the way Anko clapped her hands together and stood up stretching her limbs out as she looked at her students. "Alright then kiddies tomorrow we are going to have a test to see if you guys really have what it takes to be shinobi. Bear in mind if you fail this test then you will be shipped back to the academy faster than you can say "sexy sensei", got it?" she asked clarified with a grin looking at them only for the grin to drop as Ryouske snorted. "More like batshit crazy sensei" he said with a smirk getting a chuckle from Namito and a smile from Lukyo"
Anko just glared at the punk at pointed her finger to the ground "just be here at 8:00 tomorrow morning and because of Ryouskes cheek, DON'T EAT ANY BREAKFAST!" after that she disappeared in a cloud of smoke leaving them there to go their separate ways.
The next day they all congregated at the training grounds awaiting their eccentric sensei who proceeded to show up after them. "Alright you maggots here is how you are going to be tested. All of you will try to land one hit on me, if any of you are able to do that then you guys will pass. Any questions?" When she was met with no questions she jumped away from them and got into a battle position ready to fight as the students did the same.
Their jackets flowed with the wind as they all glanced at each other, waiting for someone to make a move after which Namito ,now bored of the waiting, drew one of his kunai and rushed at Anko, weapon poised to strike. With a smirk Anko merely sidestepped him and stuck her foot out to trip him up sending him rolling across the ground in a cloud of dust and swear words, grabbing his kunai from his hand as he went. Gritting his teeth Ryouske then charged at Anko swinging his fist towards her only for her to duck and cut at his arm leaving a small cut along it. Ryouske then swung a kick at her which she blocked only for him to handstand and swing the other foot at her. Thinking that he had hit her he was surprised to see her laughing as she had grabbed his other foot and now hand both in her hands and with a lick of her lips she swung him around and threw him over to land on top of Namito, cursing as much as Namito did.
Lukyo, having seen his teammates so easily knocked aside, decided to try his luck at long range and immediately started to fling shuriken and kunai at her to try and land at least one hit on her. Instead, however, Anko merely used the kunai in her hand to parry the shuriken and dodged around the kunai, her grin never faltering. Ryouske, now getting angry, rushed up for another go at her this time forming hand signs much to the surprise of the special jounin. After the hand signs had been formed his cheeks expanded and he released the wind in one big burst of air. "Wind style: Great Wind Jutsu", this jutsu had the desired effect as Anko, unprepared for it was blown back only to land on her feet with an impressed smirk on her face.
"Not bad run, you caught me off guard there but that won't happen again" she stated confidently. Namito smirked as him and Ryouske both rushed at her, both forming hand signs. "Don't count on that sensei" Namito rebuked challengingly as him and Ryouske both unleashed their jutsu together.
"Wind style: Great Wind Jutsu"
"Wind style: Air Bullets"
Both jutsu combined into one as the wind from Ryouskes attack pushes Namitos forward making the bullet fly that much faster at the surprised kunoichi. As they thought they might have finally got her, Anko flipped to the side, the jutsu missing her by mere inches. "HA! Did you really think you would get me with that one?" Anko taunted to the frustrated teens. "Damn I thought we had her there. We need a new plan guys" Ryouske stated and then looked at his teammates. "Alright guys I'm gonna try and get up close and personal you guys cover me with long range jutsu alright?" He received a nod from his teamamtes who soon started hand signs as Ryouske rushed at Anko who merely shook her head bored of the same tactic.
"C'mon runt give It up. You already tried that" she raised the kunai to defend herself only for Ryouske to move his hand behind his back and in a puff of smoke the handle of a katana appeared there which he swung at the woman blocking her kunai. As she held the katana at bay her eyes scanned over the weapon surprised that a Genin would even possess such a weapon. The weapon was a simple long katana with a black hilt and black handle that had red diamonds going down it in a line. What struck her as odd though was the blade itself, it was as red as blood. "Fuck! Where did a Genin like you get a sword like that?!" Anko inquired as she continued to hold back the weapon. Ryouske shrugged and smirked at her "I've had it for as long as I can remember. I just nevr used it until now" with his grin widening he then started to rapidly slash at the woman, only for her to manage to block or dodge his strikes, some by the skin of her teeth, for her to eventually kick away from him and pant a bit.
With her chest rising and falling, she looked at the trio and licked her lips once more "almost had me there kid but now I'm gonna have to get a bit serious" she stated while wiping her forehead clean of sweat. Ryouske then jumped back to his teammates and looked at them "okay guys, I have a plan to get her but I need you guys to keep her busy". Namito and Lukyo nodded and said in unison "on it!" Anko then flicked her wrist, "Striking Shadow Snake" she called as multiple snake heads flew from her sleeve at the Genin only for Ryouske to slice the heads off and jump back as Namito and Lukyo rushed at Anko forming hand signs as they went.
"Wind style: Air Bullets"
"Lighting style: Shocking spear"
Namito's wind and Lukyo's lightning then launched at Anko, the bullet of air narrowly missing her while the straight beam of lightning flew over her head. They continued this assault again and again as Anko continued to dodge smirking in relief each time. "C'mon you little punks it is like you aren't even trying. Besides you have left your teammate open", with a victorious smirk Anko launched at Ryouske grabbing him from behind and putting the kunai to his throat, only for Namito laugh and Lukyo to grin.
Anko glared at them confused and raised an eyebrow, "what's so funny twerps?" Lukyo pushes his glasses up his nose with a finger and wagged this same finger at her with a smirk. "Sorry Anko sensei….but this match is ours." Namito grinned and nodded as he looked at her, "forget already? There is more than two of us." Upon hearing this Anko's eyes widened as the Ryouske in her arms dissolved into water and as she frantically looked around for the real Ryouske, a shadow moved over her and she looked up to which her eyes widened even further.
Ryouske was above her smirk in place.
With his smirk never lessening, he quickly formed various hand signs and then spun rapidly in place until, with a clap towards Anko, he unleashed a mini tornado at her which was rapidly getting closer. Upon closer inspection, she could see that the tornado had lightning surging around it, with stray bolts coming out of the sides every now and then.
"SKY STYLE: STATIC WHIRLWIND JUTSU!"
Anko could barely believe her eyes as the whirlwind came closer and closer and soon increased in velocity. With a gulp Anko dodged to the side, only for Namito and Lukyo to unleash their jutsu once more making her dodge back into the whirlwind. Her groans of pain were not heard over the sound of the whirlwind as the wind cut at her arms and legs and, with a clap from Ryouske, launched her out of the cyclone to the ground.
With a victorious smirk Ryouske landed next to Namito and Lukyo panting slightly from the amount of chakra he had to use for that one. A groan was heard from Anko as she unsteadily rose to her feet and panted just as heavily as Ryouske as she looked at them, her jacket sleeves torn from the jutsu and her legs and face sporting multiple cuts from the wind and with a lick of her lips she smirked at Ryouske. "Nice try runt but I'm still standing" this statement however just caused a laugh to come from the tiring Ryouske.
"Forgive me if I'm wrong sensei…but didn't you say we only….needed to hit you…once?" he mocked as he fell to the side only for Namito to catch him and support him with an arm around his shoulder. "Damn bro, you used too much chakra for that one." Ryouske merely shrugged grinning as Anko walked up to him, limping a little from the pain in her legs and patted him on the head. "Heh, you aren't so bad after all runt. Congratulations squad 13….you used teamwork to overcome a superior foe and lead them into a trap. You pass" she stated which made Lukyo smile in relief and Namito cheer with both hands in the air only for him to drop Ryouske with a loud OW and various curses from the boy. With a shaking head and a grin, Anko lead them out of the training grounds carrying Ryouske's katana while Namito and Lukyo supported its owner, both feeling proud of their team work and the feat that they all managed to do.
Later they soon found themselves at the village sweet shop with Ryouske's arm and Anko's cuts, bandaged up as they were sat snacking on dango. "Well don't get too confident guys, we start missions tomorrow and it is only gonna get much harder from here." Anko informed them but they merely shook their heads grinning, "No worries sensei, we've got those missions in the bag!" Namito said energetically as the woman shook her head at his confidence smiling. "Yea, I mean come on if we could land a hit on you then obviously we are ready" Ryouske chirped in with his mouth full of dango. Anko chuckled finally agreeing with the kid….that is until she looked at her empty plate, she was sworn she had one more stick of dango left, then she looked at Ryouske who put up a victory sign with his fingers, only to have yanko grab him by the collar and glare at him. "YOU LITTLE SHIT! YOU TOOK MY LAST STICK OF DANGO!" she yelled at him only to have him laugh at her.
Lukyo and Namito shook their heads in amusement. "It is gonna be like this all the time isn't it?" Lukyo speculated to Namito who merely shrugged laughing as Anko and Ryouske had now started to argue furiously, "something tells me most likely." Both of them then continued to laugh and shake their heads.
(Meanwhile at an undisclosed location)
The room was immersed in darkness save for only the flicker of candlelight. A man was sat on a throne of rock, his body and face hidden by shadows save only his piercing yellow eyes that had slits in them. Another man soon entered the room and bowed before the man on the throne.
"My lord, as you predicted the Genin had passed and are now cleared for missions." The servant reported making the man in the chair grin showing white teeth showing up bright and clear in the dark that covered the man. "Good, good, it is just as I thought then. The boy is growing stronger, it is only a matter of time."
The servant then raised his head and locked eyes with his master. "One other thing my lord, the boys sensei…..it is Anko Mitarashi." This information surprised the man in shadows but his smile merely grew into one of amusement. "Is she indeed? Well, this means that I will be able to visit TWO familiar faces. Haha life is grand is it not?" the master asked the servant who merely nodded smiling at his master. "My lord, when shall we put the next phase into motion?" he inquired.
The master shook his head "soon, it will be soon. Meanwhile continue to observe the boy and report his growth to me." The servant nodded and left the room closing the door behind him as the man in shadows rested his head on his upright arm that was standing on the arm of his chair.
"Soon…soon you will be all mine….my dear Ryouske"
