I don't own Naruto. If I did, I wouldn't be here writing this fic.
As time passed, people began to be disqualified from being found cheating during their five turns. Shishi finally woke up when the final question was about to be announced. All he got in was that if you failed it, you never become a chunin. Big deal.
Those thoughts were going through Naruto's head as well. If he were to be kept in genin rank, then it will be just as helpful. 'I'll be underestimated, which isn't hard since I have been when I still wore that mask. Guess I'll just have to be the genin who killed hundreds.' he thought nonchalantly. The rank didn't matter too much for him. Though the only downside would be that he isn't allowed to have anything above a C-rank.
Sakura in the meantime was using her head. 'How can they keep us from becoming chunin? Only the Hokage has the right to make someone a chunin or not. Why's this guy...' suddenly, it clicked in her mind. 'Oh. He's seeing if we're confident enough.' She had to admit, that was smart.
Back with Naruto, he noticed Hinata's left hand twitching before slowly raising. 'Uh oh.' he thought, thinking quickly. he placed a smirk on his face before beginning to chuckle. Within a few seconds, it became a laugh that had everyone looking at him, wondering what was so funny. "Man, that's a good one! But seriously, you think you can fool me? I can always go to another village and become chunin there when the exams begin again. Even if I can't become chunin, then at least I'll be the strongest genin in this whole world!" Naruto declared, a smirk on his face.
Ibiki glared at him, though inside he was impressed. 'Kid has more guts than I thought. Should've known though, especially with what he's gone through.' thought the scarred man. "Then in that case... you all pass!"
And so came the "WHAT!" and "HOW!" and other remarks from many people who were surprised by this. Shishi had his paws over his ears.
"Damn humans wanting to be the loudest things on earth. I guess it isn't as bad as when I was being attacked by those banshees. Man, those things were screamers... in more ways than one." murmured Shishi, a perverted giggle near the end. Sakura simply sighed and scolded Shishi for saying those things.
"We don't want people knowing about you just yet. Wait 'til the last part." she whispered, earning a bark from the fox.
Just then, a ball of fabric crashed through the window before two kunai on the opposite ends were thrown, showing a banner and a woman in front of it. The banner read 'THE SEXY AND SINGLE, MATARASHI ANKO!' while the woman gave a peace sign to all of them. She had purple-ish hair tied in a spiky ponytail, and her eyes were something between tan and grey. She wore a tan jacket with matching skirt, a full-body mesh suit, and the jacket was open to partially show her luscious body
"Okay maggots, time for the second part of the exam! The name's Anko, and you're all gonna follow me." Silence...
"You're early, Anko... again." Ibiki said, his head poking out of the side of the banner.
She finally noticed that there were still a bunch of kids left. "Damn. I think you're getting soft Ibiki. At least I'll cut the numbers in half." she muttered.
"No, we just have a few that seem to be good for once. That, and Uzumaki is here."
Immediately, Anko snapped her head back to the kids in front of her. It took her a millisecond to find Naruto, a smirk on his face. "'Sup Anko! How you been doin'?" greeted the boy, waving at her.
She smiled... No, seriously, it was a genuine smile. "Hey Uzumaki. I've been wondering where you were. By the way, nice hair." Naruto chuckled and leaned back on his chair. Anko meanwhile shouted, "Okay, meet me in training ground 44, also known as the Forest of Death!"
She then shun-shined to said training ground, Naruto also doing the same. Sakura made a few hand signs and melted into the shadows, Shishi not far behind her. Sasuke and the rest then ran to get to the training ground.
Anko appeared at the entrance of the Forest of Death. She walked over to a small table where she left her dango. She was barely ten feet away before she found that there were no dango where she left them. For a second she stood there, before her face twisted in rage and she shouted, "OKAY, WHO ATE MY DANGO!"
She heard someone chuckling and turned around to find Naruto behind her, a dango-stick used to clean between his teeth. "Something wrong Anko?" he asked innocently. Anko glared at him. So far, it looked there was only one little ball left, ready to be eaten. Naruto stuck his hand out, the little ball near Anko's lips. "You want?" he asked.
"Damn right. It was mine!" she said, clearly pissed. Naruto chuckled more, the dango still close to her lips. She was about to bite it when Naruto snatched it away and ate it instead. Well, almost. he still had it between his teeth, a smirk still there. Anko probably would've killed him, but he disappeared in a puff of smoke. She blinked twice. 'Shadow-clones?' she thought. Finally, Naruto came from behind the gates of the forest.
"Here you go Anko." he said, handing her the real dango. She snatched it away before slapping him upside the head.
"Jerk." she mumbled, already starting on her dango. Naruto just smiled as a pool of shadows appeared next to him. A hand reached out and grabbed the earth before it pulled out a shoulder, then hair, and after a few seconds the rest of the body. It was black for a second before gaining color, showing Sakura there with her eyes closed. Shishi appeared next, already feeling like he missed something.
"Hey Uzumaki. What'd we miss?"
"Not much." he said shrugging. After a few seconds, the rest of the genin appeared. Naruto was kinda creeped out the way that kusa-kunoichi was looking at him. It reminded him of a snake looking at a bunny. Hungrily. He shivered and looked towards Anko, who began explaining the exam. Naruto didn't pay much attention, but got the gist of it. Get a scroll, find team with other scroll, take it, go to tower, have only five days, don't let teammates die, don't open scrolls, etc...
Then they signed the wavers stating that Konoha was not responsible for deaths that would happen. No problem. That is, until Shishi went back to sniffing people's butts. Akyo quickly ran over to him and began dragging him back to team seven, with cries of, "CURSE YOU, NEE-CHAN!" and, "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!" or, "NOOOOOOO! SO CLOSE!" when he was close to... finding something he wanted (If it's too obvious what he's trying to do, then I seriously suck at this shit).
"Aniki, control yourself! Last time you went on that state, you wounded aunt Kyuubi pretty badly." Akyo told her brother.
Yup, Shishi the shadow-demon was crazy enough to fight the Kyuubi. Shishi laughed sheepishly while Naruto was sure he heard a shiver on the back of his mind. Currently, team seven was waiting for the gates in front of them to open.
"Okay, and... BEGIN!" they heard Anko's voice, before the gates swung open. All the teams rushed into the forest, and the second exam began.
(Back With Anko)
Anko sighed as she finished her dango. Her mind wandered to the first time she saw Uzumaki Naruto. She still owed him somewhat for that night.
(Flashback: Some Time Before The Wave Arch)
It was late, the sun already setting and the sky an eerie purple. Anko sluggishly began to stumble home, her eyes clouded and her breath smelling like alcohol. She began to grumble about the council and cursing them. Once again, they sent her on a mission to hopefully have her killed. Just thinking about it made her hand go to her left hip, which was covered slightly covered in bandages.
She was barely halfway home when a bottle was thrown at her and hit her on the left side of her head, making her stumble into an alley and fall on her side. She cried in pain as her wound was landed on, partially reopening it.
A pair of men walked over to her, both of them having a sadistic grin on their faces. "Well, what do we have here? If it isn't Orochimaru's little bitch!" said one of them, his hand going to his waist. Anko could barely see it, but she knew he had a knife.
"Yeah. We got lucky and caught us a little snakey. Wonder if we can skin it and make a belt or something." the other said, reaching down and grabbing the edge of the bottle that wasn't completely destroyed. She groaned in pain and tried to reach for a kunai, but one of them kicked her arm away from her equipment before throwing it away into a garbage can. The one with the bottle then grabbed her by the neck and slammed her against the wall with enough force to knock her breath out.
"Stay still. It wont take long, so you might as well enjoy it, whore." growled the one with his hand around her neck. She growled back and spit on his face. He just smirked and slapped her, making her yelp as her face became red with a handprint.
"D-don't..." she managed to croak out.
"Don't what? Don't stop? Okay." the other said, using his knife to cut of her jacket. Once it was off, the one holding her hit her again, harder. She began to cry as she was sober enough to know she was going to be raped. Just as the one with the knife was about to cut off her mesh, he became rigid and all color left his face. "What's wrong with you?" the other asked.
The man barely made a sound before a black spike appeared through his chest. The spike then pulled him into the shadows, where more spikes appeared and began to slice him to small pieces. The other man could barely utter a sound before another spike appeared, this one next to Anko's head and stabbing him through the mouth. The man was pushed into the remains of his partner before going through the same fate of being stabbed and sliced.
Anko could only watch in horror as the men that were about to rape her were turned to scrap meat right in front of her. She was more shocked when the shadows seemed to 'eat' the pieces, though it looked more like acid eating something away. When all was gone, a hand then melted out of the shadows, grabbing the edge of the shadows to pull itself out. Then a head of spiky blond hair came out. Finally, the rest of the body came out.
The man's face was covered by the shadows, but she could clearly see the cerulean-blue eyes looking at her. They showed concern and anger. "Are you okay?" came a voice, most likely from the one in front of her. It was then she realized that is wasn't a man, but a teen. She squinted into the darkness and realized it was that kid that she saw be beaten. She usually stopped it, but when there were too many she would grab him and run away, usually by transforming into a random civilian.
"Y-yeah. I'm fine." she murmured, before she fell unconscious from slight blood-loss. Before she hit the ground, Naruto appeared next to her and caught her. He picked her up bridal style before heading towards Anko's home. He was slightly glad that the window was open, but made sure to close it once he was inside. He made sure no one was inside her home before setting her on her bed. Just as she was in the bed, her arms wrapped around his neck and caused him to fall onto bed next to her. "Please stay with me. I don't want to be alone." she whispered into his ear.
Naruto could tell she was genuinely scared of being left alone. He smiled warmly at her, placing a hand on her cheek. "Okay. I'll stay with you for tonight." Anko nodded and brought him closer while pressing her body against his. He blushed a little, but managed to wrap his arms around her form. "Goodnight, Anko." he whispered into her ear.
Slowly, both pariahs fell into a deep sleep.
If you can tell already, then you know Anko will be part of Naruto's harem.
I know this chapter seems semi fillerish, but stay with me people!
Anyway, review.
Ja ne!
