D/C- I do not own Naruto. It belongs to its rightful owner/
A/N- I hope that this story will spark some interest. I never wanted to read a fanfiction myself knowing that my writing skills aren't up to par, but my imagination is good and boredom got to be. So I hope chapter 3 will get some readers and viewers.
Chapter 3 Enter the Dolphin and the Snake Mistress
Iruka walking towards the Hokage's towers felt like he was a genin again in his prankster years. Talking to the Tsunade-sama wasn't something new to him, since they worked together and talk about Naruto on numerous occasion, but today was different. Today a messenger hawk was sent to him asking him to be at the tower at precisely ten in the morning to talk about his future and the future of Konoha. Walking steadily towards his destination Iruka rubbed his fingertips across his scar, the one thing beside his temper that was well known among the people of the village.
Halfway across the village sat a shorted purple haired kunoichi. Wearing a tight mesh undershirt with a tan overcoat sat Anko the snake mistress of Konoha. Known for sadist streak of killing her enemies she was second in command at the I&T department (the commander being Ibiki Morino). Eating the last bite of her dango before heading to the Hokage tower, Anko wonders why Tsunade personally ask for her audience. Although she was the former apprentice of the Hebi Sannin, Orochimaru, her respect for the Slug princess was still there even years after her departure from self-impose exile.
As both the Iruka and Anko reached the door to the Hokage office both was surprise to see the other, waiting for Shizune to let them into the office. Within minutes of walking into the office, a loud noise was heard coming from the room; startling the Anbu hiding within the shadow waiting to protect their leader.
Iruka and Anko were beyond shocked at the proposal that was just given to them. They were to be the assistant to the acting Hokage (Shizune), when Tsunade-sama is out training. Not only that they were going to be the assistant of the pseudo hokage but they were asked to train under the medical prodigy and her oldest student.
Anko was excited beyond words. Her training under Orochimaru was cut sort due to his exile for his human experimentation of fellow shinobi but the training also gave her a stigma among the elders. Now Anko realize is the chance that she's been waiting for. She will not only be able to become stronger but under the training of the Slug Sannin she will be able to prove her loyalty to those close minded old fools on the council.
Iruka stood still as a stone. He always yearns to become stronger, especially since his adopted brother Naruto left on another voyage under Jiraiya-sama. Many have thought that he was content being a chunin and just a school teacher but they were wrong. Iruka love his job as a school teacher; being able to see those happy faces at the end of each day filled his heart. He knew that being an academy teacher wasn't the highest paying job nor the most praise worthy but he knows the important of good teacher. Without the proper guidance of a teacher, the student will go astray and be killed more quickly. Iruka want his deceased parents to be proud of their only son, he also wants to be able to prove to those who look down upon him for just being just a mere chunin that he got what it takes to move up the ranks, but most importantly he wants to be able to protect Naruto from the Akatsuki. Naruto is like a brother to him; he has become a part of his family and he will do everything to protect his family.
Right after Iruka and Anko agreed with the proposal they were given to the terms and condition that goes along with them. Instead of their normal mission and teaching schedule (Iruka's position at the academy) they will work with Shizune at the tower; their pay will be the same as Shizune (the same amount of a regular c-rank mission; twice a week). When they are not working at the tower they are expected to train under Shizune and Tsunade in the art of medical ninjutsu before they are expected to working alongside her with taijutsu and ninjutsu.
After understanding the whole situation Iruka and Anko followed Shizune towards the hospital where they will begin their first steps into becoming a medical ninjutsu specialist.
During the rest of the morning after meeting her new student Tsunade started on her work load realizing that if she want to research her family's ancient taijutsu technique ,senno te no kougeki ( attack of the thousand hands) she must go through the archive of the Senju clan.
