Alright, well the most recent poll results are all in, and I've decided to stop the pairings poll for a single, important reason:

FemHaku won in a landslide victory.

Now that makes me happy, because my two favorite pairings in Naruto fanfic are NaruHina and NaruFemHaku. But this also works out because the winner of Naruto's secondary chakra nature is…

Suiton.

Yep, I'm gonna let Naruto learn how to use Hyouton techniques from Haku. Now, if any of you can get the implication I'm letting on involving Hyouton, Byakugan, and Jyuuken, then you get a cookie. Here's your hint: Daibakuha.

Anyways, on with the chapter!

* * * * * * *

Naruto made his way into Anko's apartment, angered that the trenchcoat-wearing Jounin wouldn't let him go back to his own apartment that night. She said that she'd needed him to be close so that she could teach him how to properly disguise himself so that he could walk around town with his alternate identity. After Naruto's first training session with his Byakugan and the Jyuuken (during which Hiashi admonished that he had not expected Naruto to pick up the style as quickly as he had, nor for Hinata's self-confidence to rise immensely when she saw her cousin training), the four of them had worked hard on creating Naruto's alias that he would use around town or if he needed to enter the Hyuuga compound.

Flashback no Jutsu…

Hinata was lying on the ground, sucking in air as if it was running out. Naruto was winded for about fifteen seconds before he was back up and ready to keep going, making a single identical thought run through the thoughts of the other three people in the Forest of Death.

Stamina freak…

Hiashi was incredibly impressed with Naruto. He had picked up the basics of the Jyuuken even faster than his other nephew Neji had, when by all accounts, if his file at the Academy was any suggestion, he should have been struggling with even the most basic of kata. It made him wonder what the teaching standards were at the Ninja Academy, and then another thought struck him. Something about the situation seemed all too similar to his daughter's. Are the teachers at the academy intentionally sabotaging my nephew's education the way the clan elders are attempting to sabotage my daughter's?... Well no more. I will have to have a… 'talk' with all of the teachers at the academy.

Little did anybody know that in two short days, Hyuuga Hiashi's name around the academy would be 'White-Eyed Justice'. The one academy that would call him a demon-lover would be found the next day, his liquefied brain oozing out of his ears from the strongest Jyuuken strike to the head anybody had ever seen.

Anko broke the silence for everybody.

"You know, since we're all here, we should think up a fake identity for the gaki here." The purple-haired Kunoichi pointed at where the now white-eyed boy was going through the Jyuuken katas in an effort to perfect them so he could learn more.

"That would be wise. With Hinata here, we will have another witness to back up the story."

"A-ano? Otousan? W-what do you m-mean, f-fake identity? W-why would N-Naruto-kun need a f-fake identity?" Hiashi smiled at his daughter. She was understandably confused; the young girl couldn't possibly find any reason for her cousin to need a false identity.

"Yes, Hinata, a false identity. Naruto will need a cover story should he wish to visit the Hyuuga compound, for several reasons. For one, his mother, my sister and your aunt Hikari, was somewhat of a maverick amongst the Hyuuga clan."

Hinata looked confused, when Anko piped up.

"It means she had her own way of doing things, and not everyone liked it." Then, more quietly, "stuck up elders need to take those ten-foot poles out of their asses." Hiashi stifled a snort; it would not right for the head of the Hyuuga clan to laugh at such a crude comment, despite being in informal company.

"There were two other reasons," Hiashi continued, "but only one of which is mine to tell. The other is an S-class secret and it is Naruto's choice who knows. It's not something that he enjoys talking about, so rest assured he will tell you when he's ready. As for the former of those reasons… Naruto's father, Namikaze Minato, better known as the Yondaime Hokage…" Hiashi paused as he heard a gasp from Hinata. He could only guess the thoughts running through her head. Naruto finally finished up with the several kata he had learned today, and came to sit down with everybody. Hinata looked over at her cousin with a look of awe one her face that just confused the white-eyed, blond-haired boy further.

"As I was saying, Naruto's father was intent on changing the Hyuuga clan for the better, and had mine and Hikari's help in doing so. I supplied all the information on the Caged Bird Seal that I could without the elders getting suspicious, and Hikari's reputation of kindness and the respect she carried with the Branch family gave Minato the information he needed to remove the seal, and replace it with a better one. Unfortunately, before Minato could document the information anywhere other than the scroll now in Naruto's possession… Kyuubi attacked."

Hiashi as of yet did not know that Megami (A/N: Kyuubi's real name in my fic for those who don't remember) had attacked Konoha seeking retribution on Orochimaru, nor that she had done so out of mother's grief, so Megami was quiet in the back of Naruto's mind, reminding herself to find some way to communicate with those outside of the seal.

"Because of the two reasons mentioned, and the third reason that I am not allowed to say, Naruto would not be very welcome around the Hyuuga compound, even with my blessing. Therefore, we are going to create a false persona for Naruto to use within the Hyuuga compound and around town. Anko, I presume you have the necessary supplies to alter his appearance?"

The kunoichi nodded. "A lot of people didn't recognize him when we were walking through the streets on the way here. All I need to do is dye and straighten his hair, and nobody will be able to tell it's him even if he had a blinking neon sign on top of him that said 'My name is Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage'."

Hiashi thought about it. He also remembered asking his brother-in-law to add one last thing to the appearance seal…

"Naruto." The white-eyed bow looked over to his uncle, confusion written on his face. "Have you noticed that since yesterday, your personality has been changing?"

Naruto frowned for a few seconds, as in deep thought. A grimace crosses his face, confusing all present. What they didn't know was that Megami had made a comment about how taking off the seal had made him smarter, and was now rolling around in Naruto's mindscape.

"Actually… yeah, I have. I feel calmer, like I can actually sit still. And when I look at things, I'm really thinking about what they mean and if there's anything else there. I also feel… I don't know… proud?"

Hiashi was right. Naruto's personality was changing because of the removal of the appearance seal. It had made him, for all intents and purposes, a mini-Yondaime. Pity the villagers never saw that, he thought solemnly.

"That is a boon and a problem at the same time. It is a boon because when disguised, nobody will recognize you because of your looks and personality, but it is also a problem because the personality that people have come to relate with 'Uzumaki Naruto' is now nothing more than a mask. I hope you are good at acting, Naruto, because you're going to have to do a lot of it. Nobody can know of your heritage, not until you are a Genin. Even then, you are only to tell your teammates and Jounin sensei. I will let you reveal your heritage as a Hyuuga when the time comes for you to take the Chuunin exams. Do I make myself clear?"

Naruto nodded, worry etched into his features.

"Now then, the name of your alias will be Hyuuga Hitoshi…"

Flashback no Jutsu Kai!

Naruto opened the door, and immediately upon closing it, pulled out the contact lens case, pulled the thin films of plastic that made his eyes appear as they were before out of his eyes, and placed them I the case, happy that the horrible itching sensation was gone.

"Man, I don't ever want to use those again…"

"Get used to it gaki. Now get over here, I'm gonna show you how to use this hair dye."

Naruto looked around for an escape route. Not finding one, he sighed in defeat, and accepted his fate.

* * * * * * *

The following Monday found Naruto going to the academy with his new appearance showing, aside from the contact lenses covering his eyes. His hair was still the ebony-streaked dark blonde that it had become three days prior, and the whisker marks were no longer present on his cheeks. His skin was also a few shades lighter than before. Naruto was slightly worried that somebody would see the slight lag of the contact lenses when he turned his eyes and catch a glimpse of the white iris underneath, but Anko assured him the fear was unfounded. He trusted his surrogate sister, but he couldn't help but be worried.

As Naruto neared the academy, he saw Hinata and Hiashi waiting for him outside. Slightly confused that Kurenai hadn't escorted Hinata, Naruto asked Hiashi what was going on.

"Naruto, I'm not sure you've realized it but I think somebody might be trying to sabotage your education at the academy, much like the clan elders are trying to sabotage Hinata's training back at the clan district. Therefore, I am here to investigate my theory, and the Hokage has granted me permission to act upon my findings as I see fit."

Hiashi's voice was incredibly cold, even colder than Naruto had thought it could be. He was incredibly glad that he was on his uncle's good side, because from what little he'd seen of the Hyuuga clan head's bad side, Naruto never, ever wanted to see the full extent of the man's wrath.

"A-ano, N-Naruto-kun? Class is s-starting soon, we should h-hurry." Hinata's nervous stutter was not quite as noticeable as it had been prior to the weekend and discovering that Naruto was her cousin. Even knowing him for such a small amount of time had improved the soon to be eight year old Hyuuga heiress' self-confidence and self-worth.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head before looking at the clock, and realized Hinata was right. Class was going to start in 5 minutes! Naruto grabbed Hinata by the wrist and dragged her inside, dashing right past two bickering fangirls.

* * * * * * *

Haruno Sakura was having a bad day. In fact, it was a very bad day.

First, her alarm clock had malfunctioned, waking her up an hour before she actually needed to if she wanted to get to the academy on time.

Next, when she went to take a shower, she found out that there had been a problem with the water heater the night before that hadn't been resolved, and dashed out of the shower, freezing cold and soaking wet.

After she finally suffered through the cold shower, Sakura's blow dryer short-circuited as she was drying her hair, and the rosette had to borrow her mother's. The older woman had not been happy, and Sakura had to buy the new hair dryer on her own allowance.

When she was done with that, she found out that her dashing out of the cold shower before had splattered water all over her homework from the night before, forcing her to redo it in the extra hour when the homework had taken her a little over an hour the night before.

Sakura went down for breakfast next, only to discover that the refrigerator had come unplugged somehow the night before, spoiling all of the food inside it. So she'd had to go out and get some breakfast elsewhere.

And then, right on cue, Yamanaka Ino came out of her flower shop just as Sakura was passing by it.

Of course, the two got into a bickering match about 'their' precious Sasuke-kun that continued until they got to the academy.

"Sasuke-kun would never go out with a stupid shallow pig like you!"

"And what about you? He's more likely to use your forehead as advertising space than kiss you!"

"Ino-pig!"

"Billboard-brow!"

"Dumb blonde!"

"Forehead!"

Just as Ino finished with her last insult, the two of them saw a figure rushing past them, Hyuuga Hinata in tow. A soft chuckling was heard, and they turned their heads to see Hyuuga Hiashi standing there. Both the girls' blood ran cold; neither of them wanted to get on the bad side of the clan leader, and Sakura was now shivering at the smile that was only half amusement on Hiashi's face. The other half was one that promised pain… but to who, Sakura didn't know.

Ino, however, had stared long and hard at the blur that had rushed past them. The blur had blond hair streaked with ebony, fair skin, but there was one thing that identified him… those sapphire-blue eyes.

That was… Naruto? There was no orange jumpsuit! And what did he do to his hair? He looked kinda… hot.

Ino immediately gave herself a mental slap at that last comment.

No! Sasuke-kun is the only one for me! No matter how you look at him, Naruto is still the dobe and the dead-last!

Ino really had no idea just how wrong she was, and how much more she would be wrong in the coming years.

* * * * * * *

Hiashi Hyuuga wasn't exactly a family man.

Being the clan head of the Hyuuga clan, the largest and most influential clan in Konoha, he'd had to put the well being of his clan over the well being of his immediate family. To do this job, he wore a mask of cold indifference whenever anybody was around, and always thought in the clan's best interest with every choice he made, even if he knew he would regret the effects it would have on his immediate family later. As such, he'd had much less involvement in Hinata's training than he had wanted. He had spent a long time talking with Hinata the night before about her training, and she informed him that the elders and other clan members who trained her only treated her properly when Hiashi was around. The instant he left, the elders would berate Hinata horribly, ridiculing her form even when it was a picture-perfect Jyuuken stance.

It had taken all of his self-control to not dash the brains of every single member of the Hyuuga council, and he had nearly gone to Sarutobi to request permission to execute them. However, his rational mind had caught up with him in time to plan out a better course of action. He would have his revenge on them by introducing the new seal to the Hyuuga clan eventually, preferably after Neji was the first member of the Branch family to have the Caged Bird Seal removed and have the new seal placed on him.

His ultimate revenge involved the council members and the Caged Bird Seal. He would brand all of them with the seal, and then cause all of them agonizing pain before their deaths. The irony would be delicious: being destroyed by that which gave them their power in the first case. He hoped to Kami that Shinigami-sama wouldn't let them off lightly with their punishments.

However, now was not the time for such thoughts. Currently, he was using his Byakugan to observe the classroom proceedings at the academy, and to observe how the staff treated Naruto. The vast majority of the staff treated him with indifference, having nothing to do with him and having never been pranked by the ebony-streaked blond. But the teachers that did have contact with him were a different story.

One of the teachers, one Nakamura Homura, had told one of Naruto's two current teachers, Umino Iruka, that he pitied the man because he had to teach the 'bastard demon'. Iruka, to his credit, had responded angrily, and looked to be resisting the urge to throw a shuriken at his coworker. Unfortunately for Homura, Hyuuga Hiashi had read his lips, and knew every word he had said.

When the students went outside for their taijutsu training, Naruto, to keep up his disguise and mask his Hyuuga heritage, joined the group learning the basic academy style. While the Chuunin teaching them helped the majority of the students with their kata, the man instead criticized Naruto even when the boy's form was perfect. Hiashi grimaced from where he was spying on the proceedings. The man had to be dealt with.

Next, at the weapon range, Hiashi was disgusted further at his nephew's treatment. Every student other than Naruto was given freshly sharpened kunai and shuriken, and shown the error in their methods. The Uchiha survivor was being lauded with such ridiculous amounts of praise that it made Hiashi sick. Meanwhile, Naruto was given weapons that would get a shinobi killed on whichever mission they were on. The kunai he was given wouldn't have been able to block the strike from a bandit's weapon without shattering, and the shuriken were so dull Hiashi doubted they could pierce skin, much less the wooden training log Naruto was practicing against.

When the instructor came around to check Naruto's work, Hiashi was relieved to see that it was Iruka who was inspecting Naruto's work. The man seemed surprised that all of Naruto's weapons were just sitting uselessly at the base of the training log, and seemed just as surprised and, if it were possible, even more disgusted than Hiashi at the state of the weapons. Iruka had then replaced all of the weapons Naruto was given with freshly sharpened ones, and watched Naruto's performance. The Chuunin was astounded when Hiashi's nephew connected with each and every weapon, with all of them aimed at a vital point that would mean instant death in combat.

The Hyuuga clan head did not miss the look of suspicion that crossed Iruka's face at Naruto's performance. Hiashi could practically see the gears in Iruka's head turning… actually, thanks to his Byakugan, he could if he wanted to, but gray matter just wasn't interesting enough for him to look at to warrant much of his time.

The rest of the day was rather uneventful; that is, aside from what Hiashi saw when the class got back a quiz from the week prior. Hiashi saw that the questions that his nephew's quiz asked were questions that not even a Chuunin was expected to know how to answer, and when he compared it to his daughter's test his suspicions were only confirmed: Naruto was being deliberately sabotaged by the academy teachers.

When school let out that day, Hiashi was surprised to see Anko there to pick Naruto up. He approached the purple-haired kunoichi and told her of his intentions. After hearing of his discoveries, Konoha's snake mistress and torture specialist wanted in, and Hiashi was all too happy to oblige.

* * * * * * *

After a few more minutes of waiting, Hiashi and Anko both turned when the doors opened, and noticed Hinata and Naruto come out the doors.

"Hi Anko-neechan!" the blond boy said loudly, but nowhere near the volume of two days prior. Then, in a much softer voice, "hi Hiashi-ojisan. Uh, ojisan, what are you doing here? I thought Kurenai-chan usually brought Hinata too and from school. What gives?"

Hiashi and Anko both gave smiles that reeked of evil. Hinata and Naruto shivered.

"Oh, nothing otouto. Would you be a dear and take Hinata with you back to my apartment? You should go use that one-time hair dye and go around town a bit. I'm sure you want to take off those contacts, too."

While Naruto certainly enjoyed going around town without getting the glares, he was starting to get suspicious, especially after hearing Anko's 'I'm going to hurt somebody' tone.

"Neechan, what are you up to?" Anko gave that sickeningly sweet smile again, though anybody could see the anger in the purple-haired kunoichi's eyes.

"Something that should have been done a long time ago." She left it at that, and the two young Byakugan wielders couldn't help but gulp at what wasn't being said.

* * * * * * *

Anko and Hiashi waited for the cousins to leave before entering the Academy, planning out their targets.

"Well, white-eyes? Who do we get to hurt?" Hiashi noted the eagerness in Anko's voice. He too was eager to enact this revenge for his cousin, and to set a standard for the punishment that befell those who wronged Namikaze Hyuuga Naruto, or any member of the Hyuuga clan.

"The targets are Nakamura Homura, Sakoshita Ryuu, and Katashiro Kaoru. They are his former teacher, the Academy taijutsu instructor, and the Academy weaponry instructor, respectively. Which one do you want, because I have already laid claim to Homura; his treatment of my nephew deserves punishment."

Anko thought for a second before deciding.

"I'll take the weaponry instructor. Let's see how he likes having a snake shoved down his throat!" Anko said this with glee, and Hiashi shivered. He thought his vengeance was bad…

"We shall have to inform Hokage-sama about not having three instructors tomorrow. He will need to replace them with… competent staff." In truth, Hiashi had already made arrangements for two of the instructors. One member of the Hyuuga Branch house, one Hyuuga Hitashi, enjoyed learning other taijutsu styles other than the Jyuuken, and was rather inventive with combining what he learned with the Jyuuken to form a style all his own. The man was not yet ready to take the Jounin exams, however, and had agreed to take the position of taijutsu instructor at the Academy, especially having seen for himself the standards the Academy had for its taijutsu lessons.

He had also asked Kurenai if she would mind teaching at the Academy for a bit, specifically teaching Naruto's class and moving Mizuki to teach a different class. The woman had no problems with Naruto; in fact, she was one of his few supporters in the village. She did not yet know of his Hyuuga heritage, but Hiashi already had plans in motion for Kurenai to be Naruto's and Hinata's Jounin sensei once they graduated. As for the weaponry instructor… Sarutobi was on the lookout for one.

With a silent nod, Hiashi and Anko entered the Academy. Punishment was to be meted out.

* * * * * * *

Hyuuga Hiashi first sought out Sakoshita Ryuu, the Academy's taijutsu instructor. He found the man sitting at his desk, reading a book and sipping some tea. When the man looked up and saw Hiashi, he dropped his teacup, immediately stood up from his desk, and in the process slipped on the tea and fell. Hiashi wanted to laugh at the man's misfortune, but restrained himself. He had justice to dole out.

"H-H-Hyuuga-sama! W-what brings y-you here?" The man was understandably nervous. Being approached by the head of Konoha's most powerful clan tended to do that to somebody.

"I have come to talk to you about the treatment of one of your students, one Uzumaki Naruto." At the mention of Hiashi's nephew, Ryuu sneered. He thought that the Hyuuga wanted him to punish the boy, and he would gladly oblige.

"Alright, Hyuuga-sama. So, how do you want me to torment the demon brat?"

A vein bulged in Hiashi's forehead. Inside his mouth, he was gritting his teeth together.

"Allow me to rephrase that. I have come to talk to you about the treatment of one of your students, one Namikaze Hyuuga Naruto, my nephew." Hiashi activated his Byakugan, and settled into a Jyuuken stance. Sakoshita Ryuu was so horrified at this point that he lost control of his bowel movements, and other bodily functions, as noticed by the dark stain on the front of his pants and the brown splatter on his rear.

"I-I d-don't know w-what you're t-talking about! I n-never d-did anything t-to the b-boy! Honest!" Hiashi merely approached closer, letting his killing intent leak out. The Chuunin instructor was now frozen in place from the force of his killing intent.

"Do not lie to me. I saw your crimes against my nephew during his taijutsu lesson. He could have easily defeated you in a taijutsu spar; however, I have ordered Namikaze Hyuuga Naruto to hide his true potential. The only reason I am telling you about my nephew's identity is because you will not live to tell anybody."

Before the man could react to this information, Hiashi had rushed towards the man and, in a blink of an eye, sent a Jyuuken strike directly at the man's heart, shredding the organ and killing the man where he lay. Blood dripped out of the man's mouth and onto the floor, creating a small red pool where he lay on the floor. His first task done, he searched out Nakamura Homura, intent on meeting out a worse vengeance on that one.

* * * * * * *

Nakamura Homura did not enjoy his job. In fact, he loathed it. He wanted to be out there with other Chuunin, taking on missions and the like, and possibly even taking the Jounin exams. However, because his elemental affinity had never presented itself, he had been relegated to the role of Chuunin instructor at the Academy, as he had been for the past eight years. He had considered himself lucky that he had gotten out of teaching the demon brat. Now, however, in the last few minutes of his life, he would come to regret that decision.

Homura's door opened to show the form of Hyuuga Hiashi, who had a stoic look set in his features. However, when one stared at his white eyes, they could see the righteous fury hidden in those eyes. Homura didn't notice it, and instead wondered what the Hyuuga clan head required of him.

"Ah, Hyuuga-sama, I was not expecting your company," Homura said, bowing as low as he could, which only irked Hiashi immensely. "To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?"

"I wish to speak about your treatment of one Uzumaki Naruto. I do not believe that you have treated him as well as you should have."

Homura was stunned. The Hyuuga clan head supported the demon?

"You actually support it? What are you, a demon lover? That creature needs to be executed; if it wasn't punishable by death I would do it myself!" Homura staggered as Hiashi's killing intent filled the room. The man, now whimpering, looked up into Hiashi's furious eyes, and the man's activated Byakugan gave him a look that promised anybody who saw him a painful death.

"I believe I must rephrase my statement. I wish to punish you for your inadequate treatment of my nephew, one Namikaze Hyuuga Naruto."

"T-that c-can't be t-t-true! T-the demon brat c-could never b-be a Hyuuga, or t-the Y-Yondaime's l-legacy!" The man shit his pants like Ryuu had before him when Hiashi settled into a Jyuuken stance, and pissed himself due to the pressure of the killing intent, finding it hard to breathe.

"Your death shall serve as an example to all those who would harm anybody close to the Hyuuga. Namikaze Minato was my closest friend, and my nephew should not be treated as such. Prepare yourself for the worst pain you have ever imagined."

Hyuuga Hiashi sprung forward, closing every single tenketsu point on the man's body in a matter of seconds, while also jabbing several important nerve clusters and pressure points to remove feeling in the man's limbs, preventing all motion. Hiashi quickly performed a privacy jutsu that prevented anybody from hearing what went on in the room.

"I am now going to re-open your tenketsu, one by one. Doing so causes extreme, agonizing pain, and after you pass out from the pain I shall wake you up so that you continue to feel it. Consider this your punishment for all the years you have harmed my nephew. I have seen you on the nights he was beaten, and you were always a member of those mobs." Hiashi's voice had no emotion whatsoever. It was cold as ice, and each word was a nail in Nakamura Homura's coffin.

Hiashi proceeded to re-open the tenketsu on Homura's body one by one, starting with the least painful and making his way to the most painful. The man passed out from the pain eleven times in total, and once Hiashi had re-opened all of the man's tenketsu, he struck the man with a Jyuuken strike to the forehead. The chakra emitted from his palm shredded the man's brain before liquefying it, and Hiashi watched with grim satisfaction as his brain oozed out of his ears.

Hiashi removed a kunai from within his robes, and sliced open his hand. He moved over to the walls of the room, and painted a message on the wall:

Let this man serve as an example: All those who harm Uzumaki Naruto and any others under the protection of the Hyuuga clan will meet a similar fate.

Content that his work was accomplished, Hiashi left the academy building and waited out front for Anko to finish her work.

* * * * * * *

Katashiro Kaoru was sharpening the weapons he used to teach his class, leaving a select few completely and utterly ruined ones aside for the demon brat to use. Those weapons were unfit to even be melted down as scrap metal and re-forged into something else, and yet he gave them to Uzumaki Naruto to use for his weapon training. It made Anko sick.

Said purple-haired kunoichi fired off a kunai so that it landed right in front of Kaoru, the act of which made the man look at Anko's direction. As soon as he realized who was standing in front of him, he promptly pissed himself.

Anko's reputation as a torture expert was even more widespread than her reputation as the 'Hebi-bitch', in that every single person in Konoha knew the depths of the pain she could cause. For her to be visiting him…

"Hello, Kaoru-kun," Anko said in her most sickeningly sweet voice, one she used whenever she tortured people. The voice promised horrifying pain in the immediate future. Katashiro Kaoru shit his pants then and there.

"I'm here to tell you that I don't like how you treat my otouto, Naruto-kun. That, and I'm here to torture and kill you for it. Don't bother telling the ANBU on me; old man Hokage gave me his permission."

Kaoru tried to run, but he was caught by Anko's snake-hand jutsu, and was held on the ground by several summoned snakes. Anko summoned a large python, and directed it towards Kaoru's mouth. She forced open his mouth, and the snake slithered down his throat, cutting off his ability to speak. It had slithered down in a way that still allowed for breathing, however, and he could feel the snake inside of his stomach.

"Now, let's get started, shall we?"

Anko pulled out several senbon, and jammed them all into major nerve clusters, causing the Chuunin to arch his back in pain. Anko's grin threatened to split her face; the pain had only just begun.

* * * * * * *

Hiashi and Anko met back outside and nodded at each other, content with their work. After Anko had finished with the man, Katashiro Kaoru was laying on the Academy training field disemboweled, eviscerated, and with the shed skin of a large snake shoved down his throat. Apparently the python had shed its skin while inside Kaoru, and was making its way through his intestinal tract, as could be seen by the horribly enlarged intestines that littered the training field. Anko had written a similar message to Hiashi's in her own blood, this time on the wall surrounding the Academy training field. The two of them nodded, and Anko smiled.

"I hope old man Sarutobi has that new weaponry teacher picked out. I can't wait to tell Kure-chan what I got to do today!"

* * * * * * *

Halfway across town, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a monstrous sneeze, firing a Katon jutsu out of his mouth at his paperwork because he 'accidentally' made hand seals while sneezing. Resisting the urge to jump for joy, the Hokage instead reached into his desk and pulled out the latest edition of his student's novel series, Icha Icha Paradise. He reached into his desk and grabbed out a box of tissues as a nosebleed started to develop on his face.

* * * * * * *

Wow, this one is much longer than the previous two chapters; guess I got a little carried away typing about Hiashi killing them brutally. I didn't type up Anko's, simply because I think it will be more fun for you to fill in the mental pictures yourself.

Anyways, with Naruto's secondary chakra nature decided as Suiton, and the pairing decided as NaruFemHaku, the next thing I would like to ask you all about is this:

I was thinking of having Anko go along with Naruto and his team in the Land of Waves story arc. Who agrees with this decision? Who disagrees?

Agrees: 1 (me)

Disagrees: 0
