Kapitel 294: Ch294. Hard lesson for dummies
Anko walked through the village like a woman on a mission, followed by her three cute little genins as if they were little ducklings. She knew exactly where to find her target at this hour of the day and boy was he in for a rude awakening!
Eventually, she and her entourage arrived at the place where the Memorial Stone was located, and voila, in front of it stood what Anko called a gloomy figure of average-sized white-haired perverted dipshit who liked to cover his face because he thought it was cool.
Just her luck to have him in her team...
The problem was... this bastard made her wait. Nobody was allowed to make her wait! ... Well, nobody except Tsunade-sama.
Anyway, Anko narrowed her eyes at the unsuspecting jonin who was paying his respect to the dead and the three genins behind her instantly knew there would be a bloodbath in the near future. They could only take a cautious step back, knowing this was inevitable.
Anko's expression suddenly shifted into a pleasant smile. It was so sudden the three genins felt creeped out, rather than calm though. With a spring in her step, Anko moved forward, walking towards the Memorial Stone.
She knew exactly how to solve this little issue of hers...
Kakashi Hatake stood in front of the Memorial Stone, lost in his thoughts as he reminisced of better, happier times. He, for the n-th time, asked himself why he even continued being a ninja. It was a dreadful job that took everything away from him, yet, he knew nothing else. He had nothing else. At least in ANBU, he found a semblance of home mixed with professionalism, something he desperately needed. Yet, even that small reprieve was taken from him.
Today was a big day for him. He was getting a genin team but unlike the teams he got previous years, Kakashi knew there was no refusing this one. The last Uchiha, the Hyuuga heiress, and... the son of his sensei. The last one hurt the most. He never approached Naruto, believing he had no right after he accepted the order from the Third Hokage to keep his distance. The most he could do was to watch over the boy in his capacity as a member of the ANBU. It was indeed him who took most of those missions, much to the bewilderment of his former colleagues.
He tried. He really did. He kept leaving groceries for the boy when he noticed him eating only ramen. He sneaked academy books into his apartment when he noticed the boy lacked them. He tried.
But even that was taken from him when the boy was taken in by the Senju clan. Kakashi could no longer provide even this meager support to the son of his sensei. On one hand, it relieved him that Naruto finally had someone who cared about him. On other hand, it made him depressed that he was totally cut off from the boy's life.
Alas, such was the life of Kakashi Hatake. Losing everyone who ever mattered to him.
As he was yet again drowning in his depressing thoughts, his line of sight was suddenly obstructed when, much to his surprise and horror, SOMEONE SAT ON THE MEMORIAL STONE as if it was a bar stool!
Kakashi silently lifted his disbelieving wide eye, his gaze landing on the disrespectful ingrate only to find the resident Snake Mistress grinning at him like a Cheshire cat. Honestly, as mad as he was, he was also too unnerved to voice his complaints.
"Hatake, tell me, what the heck do you think you are doing?" Anko's calm voice resounded through the clearing as she tapped the Memorial Stone with her finger.
Kakashi blinked. "Paying respect to the dead?" He smoothly replied, trying to calm the clearly incensed woman. 'Did I... possibly miss the appointed time?' He idly wondered.
Hearing him, Anko's smile did the impossible and widened even more, "Oooh~, and..." She slightly leaned forward, continuing in a sweet hushed tone, "do you think these dead fuckers care about you wasting your time in front of this stupid rock?" She asked, pushing several vases with flowers with her foot, causing them to fall over.
Kakashi visibly recoiled when he heard her question and saw her blatant disrespect to the deceased heroes of Konoha, feeling as if he was just slapped. Before he could explode in anger, however, Anko continued in a coaxing tone as if she was scolding a stupid child.
"Let me tell you a secret, then." She briefly paused, "They don't. They don't care at all. Do you know why?" Her cold narrowed eyes met the disturbed uncovered eye of Kakashi who was simply far too stunned at the audacity of this woman he couldn't even utter a word, "Because they are fucking DEAD, you dipshit!" She gleefully told him, "But do you know who cares? The living!" She started shouting, "I will not have my time wasted by you. Do you understand, Hatake!?" She firmly stated, fully releasing her killing intent.
Kakashi took a step back and gulped. He would never have thought somebody other than Kushina could be so... so... so damn frightening!
Seeing the white-haired bastard was properly cowed, yet still silent, Anko decided to stop releasing her killing intent and push his buttons some more. "Oh, I heard the stories." She tapped the Memorial Stone with her heel, "Your friends, right? Ah, former friends... sorry." She said in a mocking tone before switching into a pleasant one again, "They are dead because you didn't make it on time, no?"
Now, no matter how stunned he was, Kakashi had his limits and he was starting to get pissed.
Anko continued... "Yet, what do you do now? Did you learn your lesson? Nope, you still waste time. You are still late to every damn thing." She said with obvious exasperation.
"Are you finished?" Kakashi lazily asked, giving Anko an eye-smile despite wanting nothing more than to rip her apart. No... this reaction would make her infinitely angrier.
Contrary to his expectations, Anko didn't get mad. Tilting her head, she peered at him as if he was some kind of curious specimen, the same kind of look he received from Orochimaru when he met him during one of his missions. It made Kakashi inwardly shudder.
"No. Not by a long shot." Anko chuckled, "I can't even put into words how disappointed the Fourth Hokage would be. I mean... the guy was an idiot," Naruto barely grit his teeth, wanting to complain and Kakashi did his best not to pull out a kunai and jump at her while she just continued without a care in the world, "but one would wonder what did he actually teach you if you can't even be on time. Well, I guess his death was a happy occasion for Konoha if you are supposed to be the result of his efforts. Damn the guy must have been incompetent!"
As soon as she said that, Anko twisted her body with a smirk upon her face, evading the shurikens Kakashi threw at her, all aimed at lethal spots.
"Oh, you are on." Kakashi growled, knowing she was goading him but she went way past his limits and verbally hit where it counted most for him. There was no other way in his mind than to show her she could not say whatever she wanted.
Anko just lifted her eyebrow at him, clear amusement written in her expression, "Unable to contain his anger too... what a disappointment." She exaggeratedly sighed before turning to the three genins standing a bit away, "You guys go and stand on the edge of this clearing. This will be your first opportunity to witness a fight between high-ranked ninjas." She ordered before turning back towards Kakashi with an excited smile on her face, "Or at least... a fight between an amazing and superb kunoichi and a supposedly high-ranking slacker."
Kapitel 295: Ch295. Anko vs Kakashi 1
Anko and Kakashi stood opposite each other in the clearing, Kakashi lazily hunched over in apathy but not daring to pull out his orange book while facing someone like Anko, while Anko was grinning like an excited kid who was about to kick nuts... er, kick butts.
Despite his bored outlook, Anko could clearly see in his sole uncovered eye that Kakashi was angry. That was good. She wanted him angry. It wasn't any sort of grand strategy from her side. Anko was not stupid enough to believe she could make someone of Kakashi's caliber mad enough it would affect his fighting ability. The guy was in ANBU and he certainly learned how to keep his emotions at bay during a fight. No... Anko wanted him angry because he made her wait! He deserved to be angry!
"You know... I liked you better when you looked at me with these dead eyes. Angry-like-a-squirrel glare doesn't suit you, Doggy-kun. Not with that pirate outlook." Anko chirped.
"Ha-Ha-Ha. Very funny, Anko-chan." Kakashi eye-smiled, "What a coincidence! I liked you more when you were a slut too. All this pretending that you are an upstanding person doesn't suit you."
Despite the two just exchanging some casual banter, the atmosphere around them became tense and stifling, causing the three genins that observed them to feel uncomfortable.
The two ninjas glared at each other from behind their pleasant facades, as if waiting for something to happen. Suddenly, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves in the crowns of the trees around the clearing and the two ninjas abruptly disappeared.
All the indication the three genins got that the fight started was a barely noticeable blur before Kakashi and Anko clashed in the middle of the clearing, their kunais crossed, trying to overpower each other while their arms trembled from exertion.
Looking each other straight in the eye, Anko and Kakashi snarled before their kunais separated with a loud clang reverberating through the clearing. Both jumped back, creating a distance between each other while not letting the other out of their line of sight.
"Maa~, nothing impressive so far." Kakashi cheerfully taunted, causing Anko to pleasantly smile.
"That's what she said? Poor you." She licked her lips and abruptly threw a shuriken at the unsuspecting Kakashi who was about to retort, causing him to shut his mouth and lean back, letting the shuriken harmlessly pass by his body... only to burst into smoke when it was close to his body, revealing a coiled venomous snake springing head-first towards him.
Much to Kakashi's horror, the snake was aimed at his crotch.
It was relatively easy for Kakashi to sidestep the snake but that... meant a war.
Kakashi ran at Anko with his full speed, engaging her in a taijutsu bout mixed with some kunaijutsu here and there.
Anko used her flexibility to negate, deflect, and evade most blows, occasionally using moves from her Snake Style to mitigate the force behind her opponent's attacks by taking the hit earlier than intended while returning one of hers at full power in return. It was obvious her taijutsu was not her main means of offense.
Kakashi's style was more dependent on speed and fast but effective hits into weak spots. Unfortunately for him, Anko was his worst enemy in that regard as she was far too flexible for him to hit his intended targets.
The two danced around the clearing, exchanging hits, swipes, and slashes, more often than not, missing the other by a small margin. Kakashi suddenly spotted a twitch of Anko's lips as his back hit a tree, getting a bad premonition. He was a guy who trusted his instincts and in this case, it saved him when Anko abruptly changed her style, and instead of her usual flexible and fast jab, she tightened her fist and sent a strong solid punch at Kakashi's chest.
Normally, Kakashi would face it head-on. He sparred with Might Guy so solid and strong punches were something he learned to counter quite easily. But his instincts forced him to dodge roll to the left, pushing himself up from the ground and back onto his feet.
He was really glad he didn't take the hit head-on when Anko's fist impacted the tree, bisecting its trunk with sheer brute force as if it was a child's play, causing the eyes of Kakashi alongside the three watching genins to widen in bewilderment and fear.
The three genins quickly came to their first decision as a team. To not piss Anko off. They were trained by her for years but this was the first time they saw her use this super strength technique. Honestly, it made them wonder what else she could do they were not aware of.
As for Kakashi...
'She knows Tsunade's technique!' Kakashi mentally exclaimed, not liking where this fight was going. 'Oookay... maybe letting her wait might have been a bit of an oversight on my part.' He thought and gulped as Anko turned to him with an eye-smile of her own.
"I will teach you... letting a Lady wait."
Kakashi wanted... he really wanted to retort that there was no lady present here but his suicidal days were already long over. Since he found the joy of Icha Icha, he no longer desired to join his friends on the other side. Not yet, at least. And nobody can claim Kakashi didn't know when to keep his thoughts to himself.
Anko dashed at Kakashi, using a completely different set of movements than previously. Her Snake Style was nimble and flexible, its movements adjusted for quickness and readiness to evade. Anko's current moves, however, felt heavier, less focused on speed.
That said, while her current style indeed wasn't focused on quickness, Anko herself was very fast. Kakashi had only a split second before she was in front of him, already swinging her fist in the direction of his face.
Kakashi leaned back, doing a bridge under Anko's swing before he propelled himself into a handstand and pushed his body away from the murder-happy woman capable of crushing a mountain with her fist. He didn't sign up for this shit!
Anko didn't let Kakashi get away easily though. As he landed on his feet, she was already closing the distance between them. Kakashi barely managed to redirect her punch by leaning his body to the left while hitting her elbow, evading his demise by an inch. Seeing his chance, he grabbed Anko's outstretched arm and shoulder-threw her away from himself. The second he let go of her, Kakashi's hands started quickly forming hand seals.
Anko was in mid-air when she heard Kakashi's voice, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!", and a moment later, she could feel the heat around her rising. Twisting her body in a way that would get her closer to the ground, Anko sent a sharp kick to the ground under herself, causing it to rise and cover her body, shielding her from the flying ball of fire. That also allowed her to regain her balance and land on her feet.
Both ninjas momentarily stopped, sizing up the other while taking a small breather.
Kakashi was good, Anko had to admit. Rusty... but good. His instincts were top-notch and he clearly had enough experience to carry him through the tight spots.
Anko was... unpredictable, Kakashi inwardly sighed. Unpredictable was bad. Hard to deal with. He hated unpredictable. As he looked at the woman, he had to admit, she made him respect her during this fight. It would be foolish not to respect her, considering she could make him into a pancake with a punch. That said, the woman was utterly irritating! He still had to teach her a lesson too...
Yes, there was no other way... Kakashi decided and pulled his headband up, revealing his Sharingan.
"Up for ninja lesson number two?" He eye-smiled at Anko who snorted but readied herself.
