Everyone heads back to class but this time sitting grouped, each close to their own teammates, except for Naruto and Sasuke who make it a point to sit as far apart as possible, yet in the same row of seats, while Shino quietly sits in the middle.
I worry a bit about how the story will play out with Shino taking Sakura's place but honestly, it just seems like an improvement.
Without the love triangle Naruto will no longer be distracted trying to impress Sakura and one-up Sasuke and Sasuke no longer has the Sakura bug attached to him… now he has a whole bunch of bugs that will at least have some during a fight.
A few minutes later, the Jounin teachers start showing up one by one.
Each Jounin showed his face inside the class, called up their team's number, and then left the class with their Genin.
Naruto's teacher Kakashi will surely be the last to show but Kurenai can show up at any time to take my team.
I don't recognize the faces of any of the other Jonin teachers until Asuma shows up.
"Team 9, let's go".
Ino looks at me and I nod to confirm it's who we expected. She smiles and waves goodbye at my team before following Kiba who rushes ahead, taking Shikamaru in her tow, lazily stretching his arms behind his back
Kurenai shows up next.
I was ready to get up before her words pause me in my tracks.
"Team 8 you're with me"
The class is mostly empty by this point. Just my team and team 7. Naruto seems to be avoiding looking at Sakura but is still sneaking some glances from time to time.
Then a face I didn't expect to see rears its head through the door.
Mitarashi Anko, holding a dango stick in her mouth in her classic fishnet blouse and long brown cloak. Her hair, purple in a spiky ponytail.
"Yo, Team 10 let's go. I'll take good care of you!"
Anko smiles with a threatening face towards our group.
I'm flabbergasted but happy with this arrangement.
We head outside leaving behind Naruto, Sasuke and Shino to wait for the perpetually late-in-life Kakashi.
Stepping inside a nearby training camp Anko sits on top of a tree and stares down at us.
"I'm Mitarashi Anko, special Jonin."
Sakura tilts her head
"I've never heard of special Jonin"
"There is nothing really special about it, we are just like regular Jonin in rank however our skillset is more specialized.
Recon and investigation in my case. Though I also have some skills in tracking and interrogation."
"That's quite a dark skillset" I comment.
In the original story, Anko had only some minor roles compared to some of the other Jonin.
Her main role was as a proctor in the next chunnin exams where she led the 2nd part of the exam in the forest of death.
Though to be honest they didn't do much examining... they just left the participants to fend for themselves in the forest, what was she examining exactly?
Her skills are good but she showed a very small variety of jutsu which mostly consisted of a budget Orichimaru snake jutsu toolset.
This leads to my biggest concern, tagging along with Anko means having a manget to that snake-men.
Orochimaru, one of the Konohagakure's legendary Sannin, known for his strength but above all, his intellect and wickedness. Currently defected from the village after getting caught doing unethical experiments in his search for immortality.
While he harbors no ill will towards Anko or Konoha ninjas in general, I need to avoid his curiosity to not end up as a lab experiment or be chosen as one of his potential spare bodies.
"Moving on, introduce yourselves and your skillset. Starting with you Hinata.
Tell us all about you."
She is also a bully and probably a sadist….
"I..m Hyuga Hinata, my specialty is the clan specialty. Using the Byakugan as a sensor and the gentle fist technique in close range."
She manages to push her introduction out. I'm proud.
"Next..." - She motions towards Sakura
"Haruno Sakura, all-rounded but my chakra control and strength stand out"
"You remind me of a certain person, only by your age her boobs were already as big as mine. Now for the last one"
"Yuumi Yami, I'm also best at close-range fighting currently."
"I wonder why then a specialized jonin like me these two cute genin ended up being served as lambs to this big bad wolf?"
Anko smiles threateningly with her eyes closed.
"Let the secrets out boy, before I have to force them out"

"I have a kekkei genkai I called 'potential release', I'm able to use chakra to unleash a person's body's latent potential"
"From what I've been told it only works between you and women. Was that true or were you just trying to jump inside some panties"
I am so fucked….
"No comment…"
"Ha ha ha ha… I like you boy. Don't worry, we'll make a man out of you one day.
From the way they look at you already, they will probably beat me to it."
Sakura turned her head to the side in embarrassment while Hinata kept looking downwards… wait she had the Byakugan active the whole time just to be able to see without having to face us.
"So how do you make it work?"
I sigh… seems Anko-sensei is letting me off the hook for now.
"I can channel my chakra into myself and… women.
I mostly use it just to promote the body into growing up faster or growing stronger muscles. It only works in small doses at the time.
I believe I can also make the body recover faster but it would be almost useless in an emergency.
In all cases the closer I am, the less chakra I waste when doing so. Skin contact being the most efficient method."
Hinata shows some surprise at the revelation.
A sly smile shows on Anko's face this time.
"Ohh this will be fun. Try it out on me"
"Whaaa-"
Anko jumps from the tree and lands in front of me. Before I can react she jumps and envelops me in a hug.
"Is this what you wanted?? he he he...."
She stands almost 10cm taller than me and tiptoes resulting in her breasts being shoved right against my face.
"wawawawawwa…"
Hinata malfunctioned. Sakura choked. Those were the reactions Anko was looking for.
"Kah… what are you doing sensei"
"Just trying it out. Can you see it Hinata?"
"wawwawawhat? See what?"
"The chakra, can you see anything that's happening?"
Only now does my brain start working again and, remembering what she asked, I focus on Anko's Taijunin production.
"Yes, sensei. I can see Yami's chakra flowing from his body and into sensei's."
Anko moans lewdly.
"Ahh~~~, do you hear that Yami, you're releasing it inside me~"
Hinata's innocence protected her from the innuendo but Sakura took another direct hit again and her face started burning red.
"Sensei, this- this isn't proper, let go of him"
"Relax Sakura, I'm not going to steal him… yet.
Just don't take too long, a ninja's life is often short
He can also go do like most others and follow the ritual of a first night at the brothel before a first night outside Konohagakure on a mission.
Hey Yami, I'm not feeling anything, is it in yet??"
I lift my head from Anko's heavenly valley to laugh at her joke.
"Ahhaha... I believe so Anko-sensei, but the effects aren't noticeable immediately. It takes just a few minutes each day to use some of my chakra to improve someone's body.
I've also been getting better at it, so expect good results in the future"
I counter back at Anko.
"Ahh~~ just don't forget to share it. Sakura, Hinata, come and grab an arm each".
They both approach.
Sakura puts my arm between her arms and leans back while Hinata shily grabs my hand.
"Closer, you heard him, more contact is better "
Anko spreads her arms wide and smashes all three of us together.
Sakura and Hinata both end up grabbing my arm against their barely noticeable chests.
I decide on a round of serotonin, to make everyone feel more comfortable before focusing on improving everyone's taijunin.
I'd never tried to use my power on several people before. It's possible but takes a lot of effort which reflexively makes me close my eyes in focus.
We lie still for a solid minute before Anko speaks out.
"This is so comfy. We're making a habit out of these team hugs."
"huh" Sakura and Hinata hum.
I stay quiet. The day has exceeded every expectation I had and I couldn't have been happier with the situation.
