Naruto: Tornado of Souls
Practice & Prophecy
Blanket disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or RWBY
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This chapter came out a day early and is about 90% new. It was originally just going to be more fleshing out of various characters over the next two chapters, but it turned out otherwise. Here is Chapter 6. Enjoy!
Last time:
Konoha, Training Ground 53
Naruto was working on the Gale Palm jutsu in conjunction with kunai and shuriken. Jiraiya had decided they'd done enough with the wind slash for one day. Hinata was helping by observing the flow of his wind chakra with her byakugan. It was obvious to both Blake and Pyrrha that Naruto was a kind, hardworking ninja and neither of them could comprehend why Sakura and Ino had such an aversion to him.
As for Ino and Sakura, they were both in shock at just how strong the orange loving knucklehead ninja had become. Simply watching his spars with Jiriaya was enough to frighten the pair. The Toad Sannin would send his apprentice flying but Naruto would get back up from staggering blows like they were nothing. On top of that, the blonde prankster was giving as well as he got. It wasn't so clear cut that Neji would have such an easy victory now…
Inevitably that led back to discussing how strong Sasuke must be if Naruto was that much stronger. Sakura said, "Just imagine how much stronger Sasuke-kun is by now! I mean, Kakashi-sensei is focusing solely on him!"
"I can't wait to see Sasuke-kun in the Chunin Exam Finals!" said Ino enthused. "He's going to be unbelievably strong by then!"
Blake whispered to Pyrrha, "Jiraiya-sama is a Kage level ninja. If this Jonin Kakashi is as lazy as Naruto indicated, I have to wonder if he's training this Sasuke nearly as well as Jiraiya-sama is Naruto."
Pyrrha rubbed her chin in thought and smiled. "It will be interesting to find out won't it, Blake?"

Chapter 6
Suna Hotel Guest Quarters
Baki was writing a letter to the Kazekage, Rasa-sama. It mainly regarded Temari's unfortunate end in the Forest of Death. Her remains had never been found. For his part, the Suna Jonin felt it was a terrible loss. Kankuro had been horribly depressed about it all and claimed it was a giant bear attack. Gaara on the other hand, had almost undergone a complete personality change. The youngest sibling was controlling Shukaku with iron discipline and for the first time in all the years Baki had known him, was completely stable.
The redhead hadn't revealed anything about Temari's death other than 'They were separated.'
…
Flashback…
The Sand Siblings had both of their scrolls and were making excellent time towards the central tower. Then Gaara's bloodlust overwhelmed him, and he crushed a nearby bear to sate it. Kankuro was frightened and said, "Temari, he's totally out of control!"
Temari turned to her youngest brother and said, "Gaara, you must stop this! Control your sand! Remember the plan!"
Gaara smiled insanely and said, "Mother wants blood, and she wants it NOW!"
…In those few seconds, Gaara gave in to Shukaku's will. In those few seconds, a tendril of sand wrapped around Temari and crushed her to death…
Gaara was shocked and horrified at what he'd done and withdrew his sand. He and Kankuro ran to Temari's broken body, and she gasped out, "…I l-love you both…I…failed…" then the life left her teal eyes forever.
Kankuro cried out to the heavens in sorrow and Gaara shook in horror at what he'd done and whispered, "I'm sorry…nee-chan."
It took some time for the two siblings to calm down and the cat suit wearing elder brother said, "We can't ever tell the truth of what happened, or they will kill you Gaara. Temari-nee wouldn't want that."
"I'm sorry Kankuro…I'll never lose control of Shukaku again…" whispered Gaara heartbroken.
Kankuro patted his younger brother's back awkwardly. "We were separated…a bear attacked her…That's what we'll tell Baki-sensei…
Flashback end…
…
Baki said to his two sorrow filled charges, "Even though we aren't going to be participating in the Chunin Exam Finals, we are remaining here as diplomatic guests since you are Kazekage-sama's children. The invasion is still on, and I expect you both to do your part for Suna."
The two depressed brothers simply droned, "Yes, Baki-sensei."
…
Outside Konoha, Kakashi and Sasuke's camp
Kakashi had taken Sasuke to a secluded campsite to train the young ninja and was talking with ANBU Crow who was on guard duty over the camp. Sasuke was laying on the ground unconscious and Crow shook his head. "I can't believe you are hedging all your bets on the last Uchiha, Kakashi. The boy has talent but he's nothing compared to what his brother was at that age. I mean, look at him. He's completely worn out from sparring half a day."
Kakashi gave an eye smile. "You always were a stick in the mud, Crow. Lighten up. Sasuke is going to win the Chunin Exam Finals without a doubt. He has a lot to prove. I do admit we have to work on his endurance though. That's why I'm focusing solely on him and leaving Naruto in Ebisu's capable hands."
"Sounds like you are just giving your other genin the shaft." said Crow. 'Like you did me.' he thought darkly.
Kakashi said, "Well, since Sasuke is sleeping like a log, I guess I'll get some quality reading time in." The silver haired Jonin whipped out his copy of Icha-Icha Paradise and proceeded to giggle uncontrollably.
'What a pathetic waste of a ninja you have become Kakashi…' Crow grouched mentally.
…
It hadn't been so long ago that ANBU Crow had been absolutely loyal to Konoha. However, he'd showed up inebriated on duty one day and was put on report by one of his superiors, ANBU Dog, otherwise known as Hatake Kakashi. It not only was degrading, Crow nearly lost his mask and his ANBU career hit a dead end. Crow had despised Kakashi ever since.
Then the Scarecrow and the Uchiha brat needed him to guard their little vacation spot. ANBU Crow wanted to tear his hair out about that. He'd received a message that he would be contacted by an Oto agent soon that wanted Kakashi dead…
…Crow couldn't wait.
…
Konoha, Hashirama Lane
While Crow was fuming about Kakashi, there were a lot of festivities going on back in Konoha due to the Chunin Exams. After Naruto finished training for the day, he decided to go see the free outdoor reshowing of the first Princess Gale Movie and invited the kunoichi to come with him. Hinata happily agreed to go and Pyrrha and Blake were curious since they'd never even heard of Princess Gale. Ino went along and Sakura reluctantly joined in after informing Naruto 'IT ISN'T A DATE.' The blonde ninja just pouted…
On the way to the movie, they saw a fortune teller's booth. Blake thought it was preposterous, but Ino and Sakura wanted to get their fortunes told. As it turned out, Ino had good fortune, but Sakura's was bad. She was obviously disappointed, and Naruto asked, "What was it like Sakura-chan?"
The rosette glared at him and said, "Instead of asking me, why don't you go in and see for yourself?"
Naruto declared, "Alright, I will!" and went over to the fortune teller's booth…
The orange-loving ninja had to wait in line a bit but finally got inside. He saw a toothless old man with thick rimmed glasses sitting with a deck of cards. The old man cackled and said, "Five ryo to have the future told boy!"
The blonde slapped five ryo down and said, "Tell me how I'll do in the Chunin Exams Jiji!"
The fortune teller cackled again and shuffled his cards. He laid them out and looked shocked. Then the old man started speaking in an inhuman voice…
"Cling to the wind boy or you won't live to see the Chunin Exams! Cling to the wind!"
Naruto was understandably out of sorts hearing the old fortune teller speaking like he was possessed. "W-what the hell?!" asked the blonde. He saw three wind cards, a life and a death card. He wasn't superstitious but this all seriously creeped the young ninja out.
The old man seemed to come back to reality and reshuffled his cards. He said, "I foresee you having an average fortune."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "What about clinging to the wind and dying?"
"I don't know what you are talking about boy." replied the fortune teller.
"What do you mean you don't know?!" screeched the blonde. "Don't lie to me!"
"Get out of here you orange wearing brat!" said the old man. "You're disrupting my business. It's that or I call the ANBU!"
Naruto stormed out in a huff. He was spooked and left the booth feeling very uneasy and disconcerted. Deep in his gut he knew something was wrong. Hinata asked, "How did it go Naruto-kun?"
"It was weird." answered the blonde in a worried tone. "The old man was babbling out of his head and then told me I had and average fortune. I think I'd better go home and skip the movie Hinata-chan. I'll see you tomorrow for training. Goodnight."
Hinata was worried but bid Naruto goodnight. Then Sakura said, "What had him frightened? At least it's just us girls now. That knucklehead can be a real pain." Pyrrha and Blake could tell Hinata was genuinely concerned for Naruto, but Ino and Sakura had switched back to arguing about Sasuke again.
The five kunoichi were soon watching the Princess Gale movie and Hinata's thoughts drifted back to her life as Cinder Fall. '…It seems that my scorching caress*① semblance has massively enhanced my fire element. The magic of the Fall Maiden is gone though. Judging by the way it was passed on, it probably went to Ruby Rose. I guess I shouldn't dwell on it as there is nothing I can do about it. I do need to commission a new Midnight*② though. It's far too useful a weapon to leave behind even though I have fire juken now.'
Ino noticed that Hinata was spacing off and not really watching the movie. "Is everything okay Hinata-chan?" asked the sassy blonde.
Hinata said, "My thoughts were just drifting, I guess. I've seen this movie before so don't mind me. It's fine."
"If you say so Hinata." replied Ino.
'I hope Naruto-kun is okay…' thought Hinata. 'He seemed really worried.'
…
Hokage's Office
After Naruto searched fruitlessly for Jiraiya for advice on the matter, he went to the person whose opinion he respected the most, Sarutobi Hiruzen. As it was, the Third Hokage was in his office enjoying some quality Icha-Icha reading time. He heard something outside his window and saw Naruto peering in. Quickly stashing his book, (he had an image to maintain) the aged Hokage came over, opened the window and said, "I'm surprised you didn't come busting in as usual Naruto-kun. The window was unlocked."
"I wanted to give you a chance to put away your pervy book Hokage-Jiji." said Naruto with a toothy smile in the low light.
Hiruzen sweat dropped. "So how is your training going Naruto?" asked the Hokage, quickly changing the subject.
Naruto brightened up and said, "My training is going great! Jiraiya-sensei is teaching me a lot. It was something else I wanted to ask you about."
Hiruzen smiled. "What is it Naruto?"
"I met an old fortune teller." Started Naruto. "He had no teeth and-"
The Hokage sighed. "Does he have glasses so thick that you can't tell which direction he's looking?"
The blonde blinked. "You know him Jiji?"
The elderly Sarutobi nodded. "He was older than dirt when I was young Naruto-kun. He's nothing but a sham. They say that once in a year he'll have a real vision and he never remembers it. I'm sure his mind has rotted into dust by now."
"He doesn't remember his own prophecies huh?" asked Naruto in a concerned tone.
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow. "What exactly did the old codger say Naruto-kun?"
Naruto explained the fortune teller's odd behavior and sounding demon possessed. Then Naruto repeated what the old man said about the blonde's future. "Cling to the wind boy or you won't live to see the Chunin Exams." said the genin in a spooky voice. "Then when I asked about it his voice was back to normal, and he said he didn't know what I was talking about. I don't believe in that stuff except for fun, but it really alarmed me Jiji."
"It sounds like a load of malarkey Naruto-kun." said Hiruzen. "If you are worried though, I'd be working to master that wind element of yours… I don't see why you would be in any danger here in the village. I'd do my best to forget that old loon and focus on your training."
…
Harashima Lane
While Naruto was talking with the Hokage, the five young kunoichi finished the Princess Gale movie and were talking about it. Then Blake saw Anko strolling down the street and flagged her down. Blake explained, "Anko, we genin kunoichi want some extra training. Would you be willing to help?" Anko peered around Blake and saw Ino and Sakura looking petrified, and Pyrrha and Hinata looked eager.
The snake mistress smiled evilly and said, "Sure I can help. Let's all meet at the Dango Shop at 2PM tomorrow and we'll have a planning session."
Blake smiled and nodded before she went back over to the other genin kunoichi and said, "2PM at the Dango Shop tomorrow. Be there or beware."
"Excellent!" said Hinata as Pyrrha nodded in agreement. "I'll talk to Kurenai-sensei tomorrow morning. I hope she can join us as well."
Sakura and Ino just had a sinking feeling…
…
Weapon's shop Heaven's Blade*③
After separating from the others, Hyūga Hinata went over to a weapon's shop only to be greeted by a big, burly man with a friendly disposition. He said, "Welcome to the Heaven's Blade. I'm Tengoku*④, the owner of this fine establishment. How can I help you today Hyūga-san?"
Hinata looked about and asked, "Do you do custom work Tengoku-san? I need a pair of kodachi of a unique design."
Tengoku smiled, "We specialize in high end custom work, but it doesn't come cheap. Tell me what you want, and I can establish a base price for you."
Hinata quickly sketched a drawing of the original Midnight and said, "Something like…this."
"The two hilts hook together to form a bow then…" pondered Tengoku aloud. He began to draw his own copy and started making notations as Hinata described it. The two talked awhile about the design and exactly what capabilities Hinata wanted it to have.
"…It would definitely be a challenge to create this piece out of chakra metal Hinata-san." said Tengoku as he put the finishing touches on the drawing.
"I can have the chakra metal delivered here tomorrow Tengoku-san." stated the heiress.
Tengoku said, "Let's start negotiating an equitable price then. I'll forge you a masterpiece."
…
Haruno Residence
In the meantime, Sakura came home feeling mentally worn out. 'The crazy snake lady is going to have our hides tomorrow. We've got to get out of this, Shannaro!' thought inner Sakura in terror.
The rosette bowed her head in defeat. 'I'm doomed.' she thought to no one in particular. 'Ino-pig and I should run for the hills.'
Inner Sakura thought, 'I wish Sasuke-kun was here to protect us. Hell, we don't even know where he is.'
"I have to tough it out until Sasuke-kun gets back." thought Sakura forlornly.
It would be a long night for her…
…
Suna Hotel Guest Quarters
Gaara sat there staring out at the moon. Kankuro and Baki had already gone to bed leaving the jinchūriki of the one tail alone with his thoughts. He was dwelling on how sad his childhood had been. 'Shukaku ruined everything but letting him kill Temari was the final straw. I was weak willed before but no longer.'
He saw some kids running down the street laughing. 'Is it really right to attack this place? I don't think Konoha actually did anything to deserve a war. Suna is in bad shape financially but is a war really the answer…? I think the Wind Daimyo is the core of the problem. Talking to Baki wouldn't do any good though."
"There has to be another way." thought Gaara aloud.
…
Rice Country, Oto Village
Yakushi Kabuto, Tsurugi Misumi, and Akadō Yoroi reported to Orochimaru late that night having been discovered and exposed as spies in Konoha. The Snake Sannin was less than thrilled that his subordinates were out in the open but decided to make do. Unlike the genin on Team Dosu, the members of Team Kabuto were not disposable fodder.
Orochimaru said, "Kabuto-kun, head down to the medical wing and check on Kimimaro. His illness is getting worse instead of better." He turned to Misumi and Yoroi. "I want you two to go to the Land of Sea and check on a scientist of mine named Amachi. He is in a base of mine on Hahajima Island."
Kabuto was soon examining the ailing Kaguya Kimimaro, former leader of the Sound Five*⑤ along with Orochimaru. "A ryo for your thoughts Kabuto-kun?" asked the white snake. "You seem distracted."
"I'm sorry Orochimaru-sama." said the silver-haired medic. "I've been rather unsettled about Uzumaki Naruto."
"The Kyubi brat?" said Orochimaru. "Why the concern?"
Kabuto tried to put his thoughts into words. "The boy seems harmless on the surface, but my gut instinct is telling me he is a danger to the plan to destroy Konoha."
The Snake Sannin pondered for a moment and said, "There is nothing wrong with trusting your instincts Kabuto-kun. I'll send an agent out to eliminate the boy."
"That puts my mind at ease Orochimaru-sama." replied the glasses wearing spy.
…
Konoha, Village Outer Wall
Early the next morning, Kinuta Dosu saw Naruto out running for his pre-dawn morning laps around Konoha. The Oto genin was carefully crafting his plans to kill Uchiha Sasuke and eliminate some other obstacles in his path. 'That's Uchiha's teammate. If I question him, I can find out all of Sasuke's weaknesses and can eliminate the Uchiha easily. Actually, the orange wearing clown is a nuisance so I may kill him just to get rid of some of the unwanted competition. I'm going to crush Hyūga Neji next. He's my main obstacle against Sasuke…' Dosu watched carefully as Naruto finished his third lap around Konoha and set up to ambush the blonde. The sun was just coming up and the red rays of sunlight silhouetted Naruto and hid Dosu in the shadows.
Naruto heard a creak of a familiar roof tile and slowly looked over to the chimney that Dosu was hidden behind. The blonde knew that hiding spot very well because it was a good place to hide from angry chunin back when he played pranks in the Academy. Naruto also knew the creaking noise that a particular roof tile made if you didn't know how to avoid it. Naruto calmed his breathing down from running and said, "You might as well come out; I know you are hiding right behind that chimney."
Dosu was surprised to say the least and stepped out in the red sunlight where Naruto could see him. "I guess I didn't give you enough credit Uzumaki. You must have some skill to detect me."
"What do you want Kinuta?" asked Naruto bluntly. "You don't seem like the type to socialize especially considering you were setting up an ambush."
The Oto genin chuckled darkly and said, "Fine; I want you to tell me your teammate Uchiha Sasuke's weaknesses in detail. If you don't, I'm going to beat it out of you, and no one will ever find the body."
Naruto's eyes flashed blue for an instant and he started channeling wind chakra into his fists. "Walk away while you still can Kinuta…" growled Naruto.
…
Training Ground 53
Naruto came jogging up to Jiraiya. "Sorry I'm late Jiraiya-sensei; I got interrupted on my morning run and was able to only do three laps this morning."
Jiraiya wasn't really upset or anything, but he asked, "What exactly happened Naruto?"
The orange loving blonde asked, "How many teeth are in a jawbone sensei? I can't remember off the top of my head."
"There are thirty-two teeth in a human mouth Naruto." said Jiraiya looking perplexed. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, the Oto genin Kinuta Dosu from the exams tried to ambush me and wanted information on Sasuke." explained Naruto. "He said he was going to kill me afterwards."
Jiraiya looked over his apprentice and Naruto looked fine. "Were you injured? That's against the rules of the Chunin Exams. He could be disqualified."
Naruto shrugged. "I'm fine. I told him to leave, or I'd have to hit him. I really figured he'd have the good sense to run though."
"Okay, so what does this have to do with teeth?" asked Jiraiya.
"Well, thirty-two teeth minus twenty-three leaves Kinuta with nine teeth." said Naruto doing the math in his head. "I thought he had some sort of armor under all those bandages covering his face, so I hit him full force with my fist coated in wind chakra right in the jaw. It was kind of messy when I found out they were just bandages. Teeth flew everywhere!"
"Is Kinuta still alive?" asked the wide-eyed Toad Sage.
The blonde nodded. "The way he was running away screaming and crying he seemed plenty lively to me. He took off and I counted twenty-three teeth lying about. I figure he's going to make his dentist a very rich man."
Jiraiya just sweat dropped and shook his head…
…
Weapon's shop Heaven's Blade
While Jiraiya and Naruto were discussing the finer points of dental work, Tenten was manning the counter on the early morning shift at the Heaven's Blade. That's when two Hyūga guards delivered the chakra metal from the Hyūga vaults to forge the Midnight with. Signing off that she had received the valuable ore, Tenten quickly checked its quality and had stars in her eyes at the thoughts of what she could create with the stuff.
Tengoku came out of the back and said, "Hinata-sama had it delivered just as she said. Wait until you see this new design Tenten-chan."
The bun wearing kunoichi looked excited and said, "I wondered why a pair of Hyūga delivered it, but I had no idea it was for Hinata… Last I heard she was still recovering from her battle with Neji. Did she seem okay?"
Her Father nodded. "Hinata-sama seemed to be in very good spirits to me. She certainly has a keen imagination. We're going to be forging a unique pair of swords for her called Midnight. They combine to form a bow." Tengoku said as he laid the drawings in front of Tenten to admire.
Tenten started examining the drawings in detail and finally said, "Dad, this is superb! With this you have options both at short and long ranges. Brilliant! How did you come up with such an innovative design?"
"It was all Hinata-sama's idea." said Tengoku with a shrug. "She drew a rough drawing and then I created the detail design as we discussed the features she wanted. It took hours to get it exactly to her specifications."
"Wow." said Tenten. "I never pictured a Hyūga having a knack for weapons given how focused they are on taijutsu. I can't imagine Neji even giving such an idea a chance." 'Of course, he's so stuck on fate that he'd probably scoff at the idea.'
Her Father grinned. "You never can tell, Tenten-chan. You and I love weapons. Hinata is the heiress of her clan. Maybe this will start a new trend. I wouldn't be complaining about the orders coming in."
Tenten nodded eagerly at the idea of all the business rolling in from the Hyūga clan. "That reminds me Dad, after I practice with Neji this afternoon, I'm going to visit Lee in the hospital. I'm sure Gai sensei is already up there."
"Isn't Lee's spine injured?" asked Tengoku concerned. "That could be the end of his ninja career."
"Yes, Tsurugi Misumi tried to break Lee's back." replied Tenten. "I hope I get the chance to return the favor in the Chunin Exam Finals. Lee didn't deserve to be hurt so badly."
….
Outside Konoha, Kakashi and Sasuke's camp
Sasuke charged Kakashi with a flurry of punches which the Jonin batted aside and countered sending the younger sharingan wielder flying. The dark-haired avenger felt the cursed seal calling to him to use it but knew that the silver haired Jonin would simply seal it off again if he did.
'I have to get stronger!' thought Sasuke. 'I must avenge my clan and destroy Itachi. Kakashi isn't cutting it. All he cares about is making me faster when what I really need is power.' "Kakashi, I need results now, not weeks from now."
The scarecrow said, "Sasuke, there are no shortcuts to power. You need to learn to be patient."
Sasuke thought back to the day before he left on this training trip.
...
Flashback…
Yakushi Kabuto came over to Sasuke with his usual disarming smile, "Sasuke-kun, you should know that cursed seal is your key to power. You should be glad to have it. I can't believe Hatake sealed it off. Your sensei is just standing in your way."
"But isn't Orochimaru the enemy?" asked Sasuke. "He's supposed to be evil."
Kabuto chuckled. "I think good and evil are a bit subjective Sasuke-kun. It all depends on your point of view. Orochimaru-sama sees potential in you that others like Hatake Kakashi and the Third Hokage do not. Power is within your grasp. All you must do is take it. You'll be contacted by some of Orochimaru-sama's agents later. I hope you don't waste this opportunity, for your sake."
"I'll…think about it Kabuto." replied the avenger.
Kabuto smiled and said, "That's all I ask of you Sasuke-kun."
…That was the last time Sasuke saw Kabuto…
Flashback end…
…
The Uchiha thought to himself, 'I'm beginning to think Kabuto is right. Kakashi is just standing in my way.'
…
Konoha Hospital, Doctor Tīsu's Oral Surgery Office
"Good morning Kinuta-san, I'm Doctor Tīsu and I'll be conducting your examination today." Dosu's visible eye widened at the sight of the Doctor. His teeth were ground down like a shark's and the man had more tattoos and body piercings than anyone Dosu had ever seen. Dosu whimpered and the dentist said, "Now don't you worry Kinuta-san; I come from a long and distinguished line of sadis- I mean dentists in Kiri. We'll have you fixed up in no time." Doctor Tīsu promptly pulled out a dental contraption that looked more like a torture device from hell and said, "Now open wide and let's have a really good look…" with a manic gleam in his eye.
Dosu's screams of the damned echoed throughout the village…
…
Konoha, Yamanaka Residence
Pyrrha woke up early as usual and was talking excitedly with Inoichi. "…So Mitarashi-san agreed to train all of us kunoichi. We are all supposed to meet at the Dango Shop this afternoon and have a planning session."
Inoichi smiled and replied, "That's excellent news Pyrrha-chan. I think Anko will be a good teacher for you girls. Try to help Ino-chan and Sakura-chan out, would you? They haven't taken their training as seriously as you, Blake and Hinata have. Speaking of which, what was your impression of Hyūga Hinata?"
The redhead pondered a moment and replied, "Well, she isn't Cinder Fall, but I still feel uneasy around her. I guess it's hard to let go of the past."
The Yamanaka patriarch placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and said, "Give it time Pyrrha-chan, give it time. I think you and Blake will eventually become friends with Hinata but not right away. Just try to keep an open mind about things and ease into it. Technically she doesn't know the both of you either."
"That's true." said Pyrrha. "It's strange though, Blake seems more defensive about Hinata than I am."
"Blake had a rough life Pyrrha." explained Inoichi. "She doesn't trust as readily as you do. You and Anko are her best anchors right now. Try to be supportive, okay?"
The gladiator smiled. "Of course, Inoichi-san."
…
OMAKE:
Anko and Blake's Apartment
Anko came home and found a handwritten manuscript that Blake had been working on titled Ninjas of Love. The snake mistress grabbed a dango stick and plopped herself down on the couch to read the cat eared kunoichi's work. Anko's brown eyes widened as she read the explicit scenes in the manuscript:
…She took his enormous shaft delicately in her hands and said, "Now that's a katana!"
The snake mistress's jaw fell open and her dango stick clattered to the floor. "This is as good as Icha-Icha!" Her eyes narrowed and Anko read more rapidly:
…She rolled over on top of him, she screamed, "Yes oh yes! That's it! More, MORE, MORE!"
Several pages later, Anko was feeling really hot and bothered. She had a copious nosebleed and wondered if Blake wouldn't be the next Jiraiya-sama. The snake jonin made a mental note to talk to the Toad Sannin about sponsoring the cat eared girl:
…As they rose and fell on the bed like ocean waves in a storm, he said huskily, "You're looking so good under me."
After reading about twenty pages of total eroticism, Anko put the manuscript back where she'd found it and decided to go to sleep early in a lust filled haze…
…
About an hour later, Blake got home and found her roommate had already crashed for the night. Deciding all was well Blake decided to hit the hay herself. That's when her sensitive ears her Anko cry out in her sleep, "NOW THAT'S A KATANA!"
The feline faunus girl screeched in embarrassment, "MITARASHI ANKO! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE WITH THAT SECRET!"
The epic pillow fight, crashing, laughing, and shrieking drew complaints from the neighbors the next morning…
OMAKE END…
