Chapter 7: Truth, Bonding and training
A/N: Thanks for review, favorite and follow.
In the middle of the night Naruto felt some movement and heard some groaning noises. He didn't open his eyes but after some moments when the noises didn't stop he opened his eyes.
After opening his eyes, first thing he noticed was the trembling of the person whose arms were wrapped around him. Naruto then looked at her face.
She was sweating profusely. Her shirt was sticking to her body. Her eyes tightly shut. Her face contorted in pain and agony. Tears were flowing down her cheeks. Her breathing was fast and heavy and she was mumbling some incoherent words that Naruto didn't quite understand.
He sat up and tried to wake Anko up.
''Anko-chan'' Naruto said while shaking her shoulder.
But she didn't wake up. Naruto was now on the verge of panicking. Anko's body started to heat up. And a fever took over her.
Naruto then tried to wake Anko up restlessly and desperately. His voice was getting crack up with every passing second. ''Anko...Anko…'' but he got no response.
''Anko...'' Naruto said a little louder.
''Ankooo...'' Naruto said louder now but still no effect on Anko. Tears were now welling up in his eyes from watching Anko's painful condition.
Naruto then noticed something glowing on her neck.
He looked at her neck and his eyes widened. Three different colored commas like symbols glowing and they seem vibrating. Suddenly the air got heavy in the room and a vile feeling spread in the room.
Tears were now flowing on Naruto's face.
He couldn't take it anymore and closing his eyes yelled ''Aannnkkkooooo...'' while shaking her hardly on the shoulder.
Anko woke up with a sudden jolt and a force which sent Naruto flying off the bed. Naruto stood up quickly and looked at Anko.
Anko was sitting taking long breaths, sweat dripping from her face and body profusely. She lifted her head and looked at Naruto.
''A...are you okay'' she asked.
''You are asking me that I am okay or not. I must ask you that you are okay or not'' Naruto said a little angry at her lax attitude.
''I…I am fine, don't worry'' Anko said smiling and wiping the sweat off her face.
''No, you are not fine" Naruto said a little edge in his voice.
Anko then first tried to calm down before saying anything.
''I am fine now'' Anko said and got off the bed.
''You…go to sleep. I am going to wash my face'' Anko said and before Naruto could say anything went out of the room.
Naruto then sat on the bed. He was sure something was up with Anko. 'Those glowing symbols, those have something to do with her nightmare. But these symbols were not there when she left for her training. That means she got that mark in her training period.
But why would she get that mark and from whom. Only she could tell it but why didn't she tell me about it. Didn't she trust me or...she didn't want to make me worry. Idiot Anko, I will be more worried not knowing about it' Naruto thought. He sighed '' I was just rambling my pain and was getting angry at her but I didn't even think about her. What kind of person I am. But anyway I won't let it go. I will ask her and she will have to tell me even if I have to be a little hard on her '' he whispered to himself.
Five minutes later Anko returned to the room with a smile. She looked at Naruto and smiled but Naruto's face didn't show any emotion.
She came in front of Naruto and sat down.
''What is it. Why are you not sleeping? Is there any problem? And what's with this serious face. It doesn't suit you'' Anko said and lifted her hand to touch his cheek but Naruto caught her wrist in mid way and said '' What was happening to you'' Naruto asked seriously.
Anko sighed ''It's nothing. I was just having a nightmare'' Anko said trying to evade the topic.
''Okay then let me rephrase my question. What happened on your training trip'' Anko's eyes widened hearing that '' D...Did your sensei do something to you'' Naruto finished.
''N...Nothing happened and Orochimaru didn't do anything'' Anko said again hoping that would stop him asking any further questions. But now she was getting nervous.
Naruto sighed. ''It looks like you don't trust me enough to tell your secrets. Okay I-'' Anko cut Naruto mid sentence '' No, I trust you more that anyone in this world''.
''Then tell me what happened ''Naruto asked sternly and after several seconds he said ''I will kill anyone who have hurt you'' Naruto said in a voice which send shivers down to Anko's spine.
Anko sighed then said ''Naruto, you are younger and you are not strong enough. I don't want anything happen to you. So I will tell you myself when the time comes''.
Naruto sighed 'I will have to do it in hard way' he thought.
''If you trust me then you will tell me right now and if you are not going to tell me then from now on I will consider that you don't trust me and I won't ever sleep on this bed with you, I am going to the living room to sleep on the couch'' Naruto said getting up and going outside but before going out of the door he turned to her and said ''I have seen that mark on your neck, I will find out even if you don't tell me'' Naruto said and left the room.
He lay on the couch.
Anko just couldn't believe that Naruto find out all things he just said. He wasn't that smart before, how did he get that smart.
She was sure that she will have to tell him otherwise...'No I won't let that happen, you will sleep with me on this bed Naruto' she thought and went to living room.
It was dark. Only a little bulb was illuminating the room in a dim light.
Naruto felt someone creeping under him and in a matter of seconds he found himself lying atop Anko.
He looked at her and said ''What are you doing''.
Anko just grinned ear to ear and buried his head in her breasts forcefully.
''You will sleep with me'' she said.
''I will only sleep with you when you will t-'' Anko cut him off mid sentence ''Yeah, yeah, I will tell you alright'' Anko said.
Naruto then stopped struggling and let her bury his face in her breasts and play with his hair.
Anko closed his eyes and took deep breaths. She will have to tell him now; there was no escaping from it. She was about to tell him her greatest secret.
''The mark you saw on my neck is a curse seal given to me by Orochimaru. I...I was never a student to him. I w...was only a t...test ...subject for his e…experiments from the start'' Anko said in a cracking voice. Naruto couldn't believe his ears. That fucking bastard.
'' I never thought he is such a person a week ago he caught me off guard and put this damn curse seal on me. I felt unimaginable pain and fell unconscious. I was able to hear him saying that I was merely a test subject for him from the very beginning and when I woke up I found myself in konoha hospital'' Anko told him.
''Konoha hospital'' Naruto asked confusedly.
She sighed again ''I came here two days ago. Anbus brought me here and when I regain consciousness I tried to come to you but Hokage said he wants Jiraiya to have a look on the seal for any possible danger to konoha and kept me there. Then Inoichi explored my mind and Jiraiya a sannin, put a suppression seal on it so it could not affect me or create any danger for konoha. Today morning when I woke up after the sealing previous night then I came to this apartment with Yugao, and you already know what happened after that. And Orochimaru has betrayed konoha and being a student of his I also have to suffer for his crimes, so people has started to call me different names like you. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry'' Anko told him all in once.
There was silence for a minute, then Naruto said ''I am sorry Anko-chan. I didn't think about you and ranted about myself. I didn't even tried to consider that there could be something bad going on with you, you were in such pain and I…I…Please forgive me'' he said feeling guilty then the look in his eyes changed to one of a fierce determination ''Now the first person I am going to kill is Orochimaru and don't worry I will remove this curse seal and make you free from it'' Naruto said.
Anko closed his eyes to stop upcoming tears. She then giggled and said ''You need to become strong first but I will kill him not you and only Orochimaru can remove this seal, no one else''.
''Okay, then I will defeat him for you and trust me Anko-chan about making you free of this curse'' Naruto said.
Anko hugged his tighter. ''Well that is acceptable but I will do most of the job you will be a backup for me, understood and I trust you'' Anko said.
''Yeah, Understood and just you wait'' Naruto said.
Then silence again took over the living room for a minute which was broken by Anko ''we should go and sleep'' Anko said.
Naruto felt a little bold and then buried his face in her breasts and wrapped his arms around her and said in contentment ''hmm...I am more comfortable in here like this than the bed''.
Anko chuckled and said ''You little naughty boy'' she said while ruffling his hair.
''Well beside being a naughty, I am a good boy too and if I am showing naughtiness then it's only with you so you can't say I am a naughty boy. And you was the one who took this position in the first place'' Naruto said while smelling her scent.
Anko chuckled ''Hehe… you are right, and only you are allowed to do what you are doing right now. If anyone else even tries to touch me I will gut him alive'' Anko said.
''Poor man'' Naruto said. They both laughed.
Then no one said anything and they fell asleep after that.
Naruto woke up and lifted his head. He noticed that it was already morning. He looked at the watch it showed 8 am but he was feeling warm and content so he didn't get up. He looked at Anko who was under him and was sleeping like she never slept before and she was drooling too.
He moved his face upward and gave Anko a kiss on the cheek and put his head back on its previous place and fell asleep again.
After two hours at 10 AM, Anko slowly opened her eyes. First thing she noticed was a weight on her body and a head on her breasts. She lifted her head slightly and when she noticed the color of the hairs of the head which was lying on her breasts, she put her head back down.
She noticed it was bright. 'Is it morning already' she thought and looked at the clock and when she saw what time it was her eyes widened.
''Oi, Naruto, wake up'' She said loudly nudging his shoulder.
''Umm...Anko-chan, let me sleep a little longer, it's soft and comfy here'' he said while rubbing his face in her breasts.
Anko got a blush and a tingling sensation in her heart. 'Idiot doesn't even know what he is doing. Well I am going to tease him so much, he will remember for his life' She thought.
''Yeah, you look quite comfy on my breasts'' Anko said in a teasing tone.
''Y...yeah'' Naruto said stuttering.
''Does my breast feel so good to you, huh'' Anko whispered in his ear and blew air in his ear.
Naruto didn't say anything; he just slowly stood up, his face red, and sat down to side.
Anko just started to laugh hard looking at his face. Then after Anko's calming down from her laughter she wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
'' Its ten o'clock, you missed your academy today'' Anko said ruffling his hair.
Naruto pouted and said ''I don't want to go to that place anymore''.
Anko understood why he didn't want to go to academy. As Naruto had told her previous night about Sasuke and Shikamaru's conversation, so she could understand his feelings.
But it was necessary to go to academy because if he doesn't go to the academy they will suspend him from academy.
''Naruto, you will have to go to the academy. Because its necessary to graduate and promoted as gennin and by the time you becomes a gennin you will have to go otherwise they will dismiss your name and you will have to start over'' Anko said trying to persuade him to go to the academy.
Naruto didn't say anything. He turned his head to the side.
Anko sighed. She hugged him from behind pressing her breast to his back.
''Okay let's do it like this...you can go to the academy for two days and other days I will train you. Okay'' Anko suggested him.
The idea seemed reasonable to Naruto. ''Okay'' he said.
Anko then stood up and said ''Okay I am going to freshen up and after that I will prepare breakfast and in meantime you can use the restroom ''Anko said and went to the restroom.
After half an hour later they were sitting on the couch after finishing up their breakfast.
Anko started to prepare a list of the equipments and tools necessary for the training.
''Okay, let's go and buy these things'' Anko said and grabbed Naruto's hand and as she was about to step out she stopped and looked at Naruto.
Naruto looked at her and asked ''What happened, why did you stop'' Naruto asked.
''Hehehe…'' Anko laughed sheepishly. Naruto raised an eyebrow at her antics.
''Um...well...Err...I...I don't have any money on me. I spent it all in renovation of the apartment. And until I start to go on missions again, I won't be able to earn money. But I will talk to hokage about it. The problem is what should we do right now'' Anko said sheepishly then frustrated that she couldn't go on missions for three months.
Naruto sighed and ran a hand through his locks.
''I have money but I am not sure it's enough or not'' Naruto said.
''Hun, you have, really. Then show me'' Anko said.
Naruto started to walk in the direction of bathroom and with a confused look Anko followed him.
Naruto entered the bathroom and went closer the wall to his right. There he lightly tapped his knuckles and the tile fall down to his hand and behind the tile was a one foot square empty space to hide anything.
Inside there was four stacks of money.
''Wow Naruto how do you have so much money. I mean I understand you hide your money here but how did you save so much'' Anko said surprised and taking out one of the stack from the hiding place and after calculating that half of the stack will be enough, she put the other half back .
'' Well, I have been receiving money for my monthly expenses from hokage and no one ever sold me anything so that's how I saved so much'' Naruto told her.
''Okay, let's go'' Anko said walking out of the bathroom.
In the living room she stopped again. Naruto wondered why she stopped again.
Anko summoned four five foot long snakes and ordered them to guard the apartment from any danger. Now Naruto understood why she stopped.
Anko and Naruto then exited the apartment.
When they were on the streets they could feel the glares and murmurs of everyone. But they were ignoring the curses and just walking talking to each other.
When they reached a little crowded area they heard a comment which made them stop.
Someone said ''Hmph...damn demon and his snake whore''. They both stopped. Their bangs were foreshadowing their eyes. Suddenly a massive amount of killing intent washed over the whole area surrounding them.
And this was many times stronger than the killing intent Naruto emitted in the classroom because it was Anko who was emitting it mixed with Naruto's, but Naruto's seemed puny compared to Anko's.
Everyone around them fell down to the ground and most of them lost consciousness.
Anko calmed down first and put a hand on Naruto's head. Naruto closed his eyes and calmed down. Anko grabbed his hand and vanished from the area. Anko appeared on a nearby roof top with Naruto. They both sighed.
''Are you okay'' Anko asked.
''I can ask the same to you'' Naruto asked.
Anko smiled and brought his body to his eye level and said '' I am fine''.
Naruto hugged her, his head coming just under her breast.
''I am fine too'' Naruto said breaking the hug.
''Now we will shunshine to wherever we will go, okay'' Anko said.
''Okay'' Naruto replied.
''But first we need to meet some of my friends'' Anko said with a look which told Naruto that she is about to do something which she would regret later.
''And why we need to meet some of your friends'' Naruto asked.
Anko smiled and said '' I need to make them pay for what they did to you''.
''Anko-chan, you don't need to do anything. They will pay when the time comes, don't worry'' Naruto suggested.
''But Naruto, they are responsible for most of the things that happened in last two years and yo-'' Anko cut mid sentence by Naruto.
''Anko-chan calm down, I ...I want to start our training as soon as possible. I don't want to waste our time in such things for a while. And if they create anymore problems for us then you can do whatever you want. I won't stop you '' Naruto said trying to persuade her.
She felt surprised at Naruto, 'I will let it go for now to show Naruto but as I get the chance I will visit them' she thought. ''Okay. Let's go then'' Anko said.
''Okay, I can't wait to start my training'' Naruto said cheerfully. Anko giggled at him.
They both vanished again and appeared in front of a Ninja equipments and gears selling shop. They entered the shop. A man welcomed them bowing. He looked in his thirties with brown hair.
''Welcome to the best shinobi gears shop in k-'' he stopped mid sentence and said ''what the hell, what a de-'' this time he was cut off by Anko's leaking killing intent.
''I have come here to buy some gears and weapons for myself and little Naruto here'' Anko said calmly.
'' And I don't want to make any kind of mess in this shop with your brain matters splattering around so let's shop peacefully'' Anko said and the shopkeeper gulped.
''O...Okay'' he said.
Anko then started to look at all the various ninja tools. There she looked at the chakra paper weights. She took it and read the manual.
New arrivals, best for increase endurance, stamina. Just one paper, put it on the chest and transfer some chakra in it. When you transfer chakra in it a human figure will appear on the paper with red dots on different parts of body like arms, legs, thighs, chest etc. you just need to feed chakra to a particular red dot to increase the gravity amount on that part of the body. Every dot will show the amount of gravity in numbers like 1, 2... above the dot. If you want to increase the pressure then feed more chakra and as you increase the feeding chakra amount you will see that the gravity pressure will increase gradually with the feeding chakra.
'Great' Anko thought and took that and moved to kunai section.
She took five sets of kunai with six kunai in each set. The kunai was one feet length with black color. She also took five set of shurikens.
Anko then moved to...Hun she looked at Naruto. He was checking some swords.
Anko went to him and said ''Are you interested in learning in kenjutsu''.
''Hmm...Yeah these are looking cool, don't ya think'' Naruto said with stars in his eyes.
Anko sighed and put her hand on Naruto's head and said ''I don't know much of kenjutsu...but I know someone else who can teach you. So if you are okay with it then it's alright'' Anko said.
''Yeah no problem'' Naruto said.
Anko then took the sword from his hand and checked it. It was three feet long.
Anko added the sword in her shopping items and said ''Okay we need one more thing then we will be ready to go'' Anko said and walking towards the chakra paper sections. She took one chakra affinity paper and some sealing scrolls and with Naruto went to the owner to pay for the tools.
She paid the owner and with Naruto exited the shop.
''Anko-chan where are we going to train'' Naruto asked.
''Hmm...well the forest of death would be the best place for training without anyone interfering'' Anko told him and then leaned down to his ear and whispered ''And we can have fun after training and can do all sort of things''.
Naruto blushed at the implications of her words. Anko chuckled and Naruto just shook his head.
In a matter of seconds they found themselves in the forest of death.
Anko searched for a good place to start the training and after fifteen minutes she found a clearing deep in the forest with a lake and different size of stones and rocks around it.
''This is the best place for our training'' Anko said and Naruto nodded.
''Okay strip down to your boxers'' Anko said making Naruto backed away two steps from her.
''Wh...What are you saying'' Naruto said while nervously blushing.
Anko smiled devilishly and said ''Well, are you going to strip or I will have to do it myself and if I got to do it, I won't leave any shred of cloth on you''.
Naruto became red ''I...I...I... am d...doing it'' Naruto stuttered and quickly started to strip.
Anko looked at his naked body. He was so skinny. Her smile lessened. With the training she will need to maintain his diet.
Anko took out the chakra weight paper and stick it on Naruto's chest and feed a low amount of chakra. Anko put the gravity amount at low.
As Anko did the final part Naruto fell down to the ground.
''Anko-chan wh... what is this'' Naruto asked in a strained voice.
''I put a chakra weight on you. It will help in increasing your strength, stamina, endurance in training and fights. I will increase its amount every day. What you have right now is very low than normal, so I will increase it every day'' Anko told him.
''Now try to get up and after getting up you have to run to this stone four times" Anko said lifting a boulder of three feet radius and throwing it to a side. "Now get up and got to work'' Anko said and went to a nearby tree and sat down.
Anko summoned some snakes and send them to guard the distance to the boulder she threw. The distance was around eight hundred meters so the snakes stood at two hundred meter distance with other.
After twenty minutes Naruto was able to get up. He was panting and sweating.
''Now start to run. Do this ten times. You will have to do this only today because from tomorrow we will do something else'' Anko shouted to him.
''What the hell, just earlier you said four times and now ten times'' Naruto tried to yell but couldn't due to the pressure and after one minute he started to move. He had to put his whole strength just to lift his leg. Then second step. Every second was feeling like hours and he was already sweating profusely.
After half an hour Naruto completed the first round. As the time went on Naruto felt it a little bearable. For next three hours Naruto continue it and after last round he fell down, breathing hard, eyes closed.
Anko stood up and went to him; Naruto opened his eyes after five minutes and saw Anko towering over him.
''Good job'' Anko said. Anko's praise brought a smile to his face.
''Now get up'' Anko said walking to the lake.
'' Okay now the first thing you need to know is chakra control and kage bunshin techniques because whenever you are in front of your enemy, don't attack first. And if your opponent also don't attack first then use another way to attack him but don't let your eyes and attention leave your opponents body for even a single second. You can use kage bunshin, which I will teach you but before that you need to practice chakra control or if you have any jutsu that could help you attack your opponent without him noticing then its good too. But before starting any chakra related moves you need to have at least three chakra controls exercise done. And they are Water walking, tree walking and leaf balancing. First is water walking, Let me show you'' Anko said and started to walk on the water. Naruto was excited now seeing Anko walk on the water like solid ground.
''Now what you have to do is exert appropriate amount of chakra from your feet. Now do it'' Anko said.
Naruto put right foot in the water and did as Anko said. And to his and Anko's astonishment he got it at first try. He walked towards Anko slowly-slowly.
''Whoa, Naruto, how did you do this on first try'' Anko asked amazed.
''Ummm...er...well I don't know. I just did what you asked me to do'' Naruto said and laughed sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.
''Well, I am really surprised you know. No one ever got it in their first try. Now I am eager to see how you do with tree climbing. Come let's get to the next task'' Anko said grabbing Naruto and getting out of the water.
''Now I will show you tree climbing'' Anko said and climbed a tree.
''Now try it'' Anko ushered.
Naruto went to the tree and put a feet on it and he closed his eyes and lifted second foot and as the water walking Naruto got it in first try. He climbed to half of the tree then fell down to his butt.
''Well I don't know how you are doing it in first try but I am really… you know …proud of you, my little Naruto'' Anko said ruffling his hair.
''But you still need to perfect tree climbing and the next task is to balance the leaf'' Anko said and picked up a leaf and put it on her palm and after less than one second it lifted in the air and stopped at one foot of height from her palm, hovering in a air. Then it got burned.
''It burned because my primary chakra nature is fire. Now you have to do this. The trick is same. Understood'' Anko said.
Naruto nodded and started to do what Anko did moments ago. But this time as Naruto started the process the leaf fall down.
''I guess you need to practice this more'' Anko said. Naruto nodded.
As Naruto was about to go at it again Anko said ''Before that let's check your chakra nature'' Anko said and took out chakra paper.
"Now feed you chakra in it" Naruto did as Anko said. The paper first split in half then become wet.
Anko was surprised that Naruto has two affinities.
''Naruto you have two affinities; Wind and water. Okay I will think about it later but first, I am going to teach you three taijutsu move and one jutsu'' Anko said and back up a little from Naruto.
''Now the first is Kage bunshin'' Anko said and performed the jutsu.
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu: she said and a clone appeared beside her.
''Wow, two Ankos'' Naruto said amazed.
''What you have to do is draw a limited and appropriate amount of chakra and make an image in your mind and perform the jutsu'' Anko said.
'' Naruto then started to do the Kage bunshin. But he created a white colored and distorted clone lying on the ground.
Anko sighed and said ''You will have to practice it''. Naruto nodded.
Then Anko taught him the taijutsu moves.
''Now first practice Kage bunshin jutsu then practice all other moves because kage bunshin or you can say shadow clones are a great help in learning because whatever they learn after dispelling it comes to original'' Anko said.
''Now start, I have some business to attend to and when I return I will see how much did you learn and I will bring some books to read for you'' Anko then looked around her and said '' I think it's around 3 o'clock so you have four hours I will return at seven, okay''.
''But why are you going, I will be all alone and it will get boring'' Naruto said pouting.
''Naruto, Practice, I want all techniques to be done by today'' Anko said sternly and as she was about to go she turned and said with a seductive smirk ''And if you succeed to get it done then I will give you a reward'' She said and winked. Naruto blushed and nodded. Anko giggled and left.
''Well let's get to work'' Naruto said to himself a thinking look on his face then blood trickled down from his nose. He shook his head and got to work.
Anko went to hokage office. She entered in the office and stood up in front of his working table.
''What brought you here Anko'' Hiruzen said with a smile.
''Hokage-sama, you have put me on probation for three months. And if I am right I can't go on missions and if I can't go on missions how am I going to live without money'' Anko told the hokage her problem.
''Aren't you living with Naruo-kun'' Hiruzen said.
''Yeah, but Naruto's allowance is not enough for both of us'' Anko said.
Hiruzen thought for a minute then said ''There's a vacancy in our torture & Investigation department. I am giving you this letter. Go and see Hibiki'' Hiruzen said and handed the letter to Anko.
''Thank you Hokage-sama'' Anko bowed and as she was about to go when Hiruzen said again ''Anko, I guess you have already started to train Naruto '' Anko turned to Hokage ''Yeah, I started today'' She said.
''I would like you to teach him about konoha and its history and it wellbeing. Because there's a chance that he can be rebellious in future for how konoha has treated him'' Hiruzen said.
''If you are so afraid of him going rebellious then why didn't you do anything for him from the start'' Anko said.
Hiruzen sighed and said ''I did what I could. And I am hokage, I don't have much free time''.
Anko scoffed at that and said ''Oh come on Hokage-sama, don't give me lame assed reasons. You could have sent someone else to check up on him. But no he suffered all alone''.
''I could have done something but the council-'' Hiruzen was cut by Anko.
''Council….you are the head. They are just your advisors or have you given the commands in their hands. If that's the case then there's no point in having this conversation. Allow me to leave'' Anko said and without waiting for his permission she left.
''I will have to do something about Naruto'' Hiruzen muttered to himself.
''Hmm...Hibiki'' Anko mumbled under her breath.
Anko entered the TI department building. She could hear the cries of pain and screams of the criminals being tortured. She went to Hibiki and hand him the letter. Hibiki read the letter and nodded'' Okay, you can come from tomorrow'' Hibiki said.
''Thank you'' She said and left.
Anko then went to library and took out some books on chakra, history, wind chakra related books and some basic sealing books and sealed them in a scroll. She came out of the library.
''I will have to talk to Yugao about teaching Naruto kenjutsu but first I have to see some of my friends loyal to Konoha'' Anko said and went to ...Kurenai.
Kurenai was in her apartment. She had just returned from a B level mission. She had just come out of the bathroom and after dressing up she was planning to go out to have a drink with her friends.
Then she heard a knock on her apartment door. Wondering who could the person is she dressed up quickly and opened the door, as she opened the door, her eyes widened in shock and a little fear.
''Hiiiii…'' Anko said a creeping smile on her face but dangerous glint in her eyes.
Kurenai just keep staring at her wide eyed and she started to sweat.
''How long are you going to stare at me like that, I mean we have met after so long, wont you invite me inside'' Anko said still smiling that devilish smile of her.
Kurenai came out of her stupor ''A...Anko, when did you come back'' Kurenai asked nervously.
''What you don't look happy seeing me'' Anko said.
''N...no it's not like that. I...I was just going out and you…you came and I…I am surprised is all'' Kurenai said gulping.
''Your friends can wait. Let's go inside and chat for a bit. We have to catch up for lost time'' Anko said, her smiled replaced with a serious look.
''O...okay'' kurenai said and ushered Anko inside.
They both seated themselves.
''I...I will go and bring some tea'' Kurenai said started to stand up but Anko stopped her '' I am not here for your tea, I am here for answers'' Anko said with a little loud voice.
''W...what answers'' Kurenai said now sweating profusely.
Anko looked at her indifferently. Kurenai was clearly afraid but it only made Anko satisfy.
''Why had you ignored Naruto'' She asked.
Kurenai's eyes widened'' N...Naruto, umm...I...I wanted to but I was promoted to a Jounin and I didn't have time so I couldn't look out for him'' Kurenai said getting her confidence back.
''Oh, you have time for going out with friends but in two years you couldn't spare even a minute to see him'' Anko said louder and angrier.
Kurenai couldn't form an answer but she tried ''w...well you are a chuunin. You don't know how hard it is being a jounin'' Kurenai said.
''Oh, don't worry I will be a jounin soon…very soon. But you are not the first jounin in this world. I have seen many jounins who do their jobs and also give time for their family'' Anko said, it was getting harder for Anko to control herself from hitting kurenai's lights out.
Kurenai knew that but she was a rookie Jounin. So it was a hard challenge for her to compete with her fellow Jounins and it was the result of her hard work and training that she got to this level in genjutsu. ''Come on Anko, be reasonable, I am konoha's genjutsu mistress. What do you think how I get this title. I worked hard for it. I didn't have time for Naruto and that's the truth'' Kurenai said getting louder herself.
Anko couldn't take it and grabbed Kurenai's top's neck.
''Why you… why don't you say that you didn't want to have anything to do with him'' Anko growled at her, only she knew how she was stopping herself from killing Kurenai.
Kurenai sighed. "Listen Anko, calm down first. We can talk it out. We don't need to get violent" Kurenai said glaring at Anko.
"You know what only I know how I am controlling myself from throwing you to hell" Anko hissed from gritted teeth.
Kurenai smirked at Anko's statement. "Anko, you know you can't do anything to me because you are on probation, I heard. And if you lay a finger on me, on a Jounin, your senior, it will only make sure to get you in the prison. So be my guest and do it" Kurenai said and from the look on Anko's face she smirked in triumph.
Anko's bangs foreshadowed her eyes. She lifted her right hand and put it on the back of Kurenai's head and brought her face near her own.
''Kurenai, You know what; I came here to scold you and make you realize your mistakes. But I think that was impossible to begin with.
You are just an idiot. You claim to be a genjutsu mistress but you don't fucking know the difference between a bottle and the water in it. You have mixed both in your mind so much that you can't distinguish which is bottle and which is water. And that is impossible because a bottle contains water, they can never be mixed together. But oh well, It was the last chance for you, now I will do this in your way'' Anko said and could see clearly the conflict on Kurenai's face.
Kurenai got a confused look on her face. What was she talking about, glass and water...can't mixed? Is she talking about Naruto. Glass…water…Naruto…her eyes widened in realization. What the hell was she doing? She couldn't believe on herself. The fact was clear; she just never tried to understand it. She just believed what other peoples said. Naruto was not the kyuubi but container like glass. He was the glass not water. Now she was realizing the mistake.
And the look on Kurenai's face made Anko's smile turned to one of an insane smile.
"Now just wait for your punishment. Soon, very soon it will befall on you, you and some others. Now I know that it's useless to talk to any of you. I will just give you what you all deserve. Now, you will be the reason of your own downfall. Not only you, all my friends who are responsible for Naruto's pain. Anko said making kurenai tremble from fear and guilt.
Anko threw kurenai back to the couch and as she reached at the exit she turned and "And when I punish you, it will be in legal way. No one will do anything to stop me" she said and exited from the apartment. She made a hand sign and dispelled the genjutsu on the apartment which she had put when she had come. She was skeptical that hokage might have spying on her so she casted a genjutsu, which she had learned from snake queen. Now hokage only saw them talking friendly. The genjutsu was so strong that even hokage and Kurenai being the genjutsu mistress couldn't feel it.
As she exited the street of Kurenai's apartment she spotted a blue haired girl and from her eyes she understood that she was a Hyuuga. She went to the girl and put a hand on her shoulder which in result made the girl squeaked in surprise.
"You are Hyuuga, aren't you? What's your name" Anko asked.
"w…w.. ...wh..Who are y…y…you " girl said.
Anko raised an eyebrow at the girl's awkward style of speaking. She remembered what Naruto had told her about a girl like that in her class. She smirked.
"You are HInata, right. Naruto was right about you" Anko said. And hearing Naruto's name Hinata's face became all red. And Anko understood what the problem was. 'This girl likes my little Naruto" she thought and the smirk turned into one of the devils. 'No Naruto was her's alone. She won't allow anyone to have that right and sharing; no chance. She will have to stop this girl now' Anko thought.
"You know Naruto-kun" Hinata asked.
"I don't only know him, I live with him" her smirked widened "And we love each other every day. We sleep together and we can't sleep without each other's warmth. And you know what recently we started to take bath together" Anko was pleased from the effect of the words on Hinata's face. She was total red and on the verge of passing out but she was holding herself from passing out.
Anko brought her face closer to Hinata's and said "You understand what I mean". Hinata just nodded her head in yes.
"Good, because he is mine, understood and stop following him and why do you even follow him. You know Naruto had told me that you are following him for a very long time now…why" Anko asked glaring at Hinata.
Hinata shrink back under her gaze. She tried to form words but couldn't. Anko then raised an eyebrow and asked again "tell me".
"Umm… I…I followed him because I…I wanted to be like Naruto-kun" Hinata said now a little composed and getting better.
"What do you mean" Anko asked confused.
"You see I am a clumsy and very shy girl. I am not good at anything; be it studies or training. Not only my father but most of the Hyuuga clan scorns me every day for this. He doesn't even train me. He always trains my little sister H…Hanabi" Hinata choked back a sob. Her eyes were wet and tears were just ready to stream out. Anko's face softened looking at Hinata. Now she was feeling sympathy for her.
"I have seen Naruto-kun many times beaten by villagers but he never give up. My life isn't hard as Naruto-kun's and still he never gave up. He stood back up again and again. And for that I admire him. When I look at him I feel that determination in me that I can also do it. I can also become strong like Naruto-kun, not only from body but also from mind. If someone else would have been on Naruto-kun's place they would have died. And for that sheer will power I admire him. I want to have that power of sheer determination and will" Hinata said looking upward at Anko.
"I don't love him. I just admire him" Hinata said with a little smile.
'This girl is so innocent but she will be useful for us but before that….' Anko thought. She leaned down and hugged Hinata which made Hinata shocked and wide eyed. Hinata felt a motherly kind of warm feeling from Anko and she too brought her arms upward and hugged Anko. The warm feeling she felt from Anko was just too much and a feeling that a daughter felt from her mother which had long lost inside Hinata bubble up and she couldn't hold her tears. Anko started to rub her back slowly to comfort her, to sooth her lonely mind.
"Let it all out" Anko just said and the dam of emotions broke and Hinata started to cry hard on Anko's shoulders. Anko knew it was needed and she was holding her emotions for a long time and that's why she was like that clumsy, shy and weak because she was unable to concentrate on the things around her and holding the emotions back affected her mind badly. Some people could control their emotions while maintaining their mental condition but some not. And she was one of them who couldn't. After some time when Hinata calmed down Anko broke the hug. Hinata wiped her tears from her shirt's sleeve. Anko ushered Hinata's head to look at her.
"How are you feeling now" Anko asked.
"Better, I am feeling like a huge weight has lifted from my heart. I am feeling light" Hinata said smiling.
"Good, Hinata you are a very innocent girl and innocent persons can't survive in shinobi world. So you will have to be a strong, understood. Don't let anyone's remark fell you down. In this hateful shinobi world everyone wants power. But power is not everything. Power only makes a person egoistical and overconfident that is not good for anyone. They start to ignore the things which are also necessary for them, very important in their life. And this is what your father is doing. But don't give up okay. You are a strong girl and you can do it. Show your father that you are not weak, show your clan that you are worthy of becoming a leader of your clan. And for that you have to train hard. If your father doesn't train you then ask someone else. Search and you will find the suitable guide. And if you don't find then don't stop until you find that person and – "Anko gets cut by Hinata mid sentence.
"Umm… you look like a kunoichi, can't you train me" Hinata asked hopefully.
Anko smiled. She couldn't teach her. It was impossible.
"HInata, I can't train you" Anko said and HInata face got a sad expression. "Why" she asked.
"There are many things. First is you are from a clan. So it's a clan matter and no one is allowed to interfere with clan matters. And you don't know but in this village there are many people and elders who are against me and Naruto. Just one mistake can destroy me and Naruto's life in Konoha. So I have to stay alert all time. And there are other people too who can separate me from Naruto and that I can't let happen at any cost" she said then she said in a low voice which HInata couldn't here "even if I have to burn down this village in the fire of hell".
"So that's why. And don't think that you are alone. You can make friends unlike Naruto and me" Anko told her why she couldn't train her.
Hinata held a sad expression on her face but after a minute her face lit up with determination.
"I will find that person umm…" "Anko Mitarashi" Anko said. "Yeah, I won't stop till I find that person. Thank you very much Mitarashi-san" HInata said.
"Good girl" Anko said and she was ready to go. 'This girl can be useful for us in the future if we plan to leave Konoha' she thought.
"Okay, I should go now. I am already late" she said and as she was about to turn she stopped and glared at Hinata again.
"Naruto is mine, don't forget and if you see any girl that seems to have something for Naruto then told them to not even come near him with those intentions. Otherwise I will make them run whole Konoha naked and leave my snakes behind them to bite on their butts" Anko gave a warning.
"O… Okay. I understood that Naruto-kun is yours. But why are you saying it again" HInata asked.
"Just to make it sure and clear and I will say it again if needed" she said and disappeared.
Hinata stood there for several minutes smiling. "Thank you Mitarashi-san. Now I will show everyone what I can do" she said to herself and went to his home.
A/N: so read and review. Tell me how it is.
