Chapter 7
AND UP WITH THE CURTAIN!
One Week Later in front of Kohona ninja academy
A purple haired woman dressed in a revealing mini skirt, mesh top, and trench coat was idly relaxing in the shade of a tree near the entrance to academy while eating a stick of dango. Finishing her snack the woman looked around for a further distraction. "Nai-Chan!" And behold, for a distraction was found in the form of newly promoted Jonin sensei Kurenai Yuhei, who looked bemused at the purple haired woman's antics.
"Anko, what on earth are you doing here?" The now revealed Anko Mitarashi posed dramatically. "Yours truly was given a special mission by Hokage-sama himself." Pausing here to look at Kurenai, Anko was mildley disappointed at the lack of reaction from Kurenai who merely look at Anko to continue, coughing in embarrassment Anko continued. "I have been assigned to take an apprentice who apparently while ridiculously skilled, needs some experience working in a team setting." Kurenai looked skeptically at Anko. "So, I repeat, why you?"
Anko gasped dramatically. "Nai-chan, I find your lack of faith disturbing!" At Kurenai's continued skeptical look Anko looked a little disgruntled, turning away from Kurenai she mumbled "He might be considered a possible flight risk." Understanding dawned on Kurenai, as a member of the Torture and Interrogation corps of Kohona, otherwise known as T.I. and a highly skilled capture and interrogation specialist, Anko was uniquely suited for making are that the apparent flight risk they were assigning her wouldn't be able to actually escape. Anko turned back around to grin at Kurenai. "So do you want to go spy on your students?" Kurenai grinned back.
Academy Classroom
"ALRIGHT YOU BRATS, SHUT IT!" As the busy classroom quieted, Iruka released his infamous big-headed jutsu. "We have a new arrival who was independently tutored and will be joining the ranks alongside you, please welcome him as a fellow shinobi of Kohona." The door to the classroom opened and an older boy with long spiky blond hair walked in, for the most part the boy was dressed in standard Jonin garb, but there were a few exceptions. His sandals were closed toed, and on the back of his black colored flack jacket, rather then the red swirl worn by most chunin was a simple green eye design with a vertical line running straight through the middle. Covering his eyes were a pair of black tinted sunglasses. But what drew many students attention was the cane that he held in one hand, with an ivory and jade handle, the jade inlay that ran through the main body of the cane flowed and twisted in a confusing and mesmerizing pattern.
He stood briefly in the front of the room and observed the rest of the class before sitting in the back corner of the classroom with his back to either wall, and continued to observe the class. Iruka shook his head as he began to read out the team assignments. "blah-blah, blah, Team 7, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, And Toichiro Saiba. Blah-blah, Blah." (cannon placements in the rest of the teams, I just cant remember the speech.) "And finally, Koyuki, you will be placed into an apprenticeship with Anko Mitarashi. Koyuki nodded in acknowledgment. Iruka wished his students good luck and then left. 10 minutes later Toichiro and Sasuke had somehow gotten into a staring match and ended up kissing each other. Koyuki merely sat back in his chair.
Outside the window
"Go in whenever you want Nai-chan, I want to know how he reacts when he has to wait." Kurenai shrugged and left to enter through the door.
1 hour later
Koyuki was seething. The only team who's sensei had yet to come was that ridiculous team 7 who had yet to stop bickering, and whoever the hell Anko Mitarashi was. He had a sneaking suspicion that the chakra presence outside the window was his sensei however. Koyuki decided that enough was enough and spoke up in the direction of the chakra presence, startling the other three in the room. "I think thats enough waiting Sensei." Anko swung into the room with a grin on her face. "Impressive gaki, how did you know I was out there?" Koyuki shrugged. "I sensed your chakra presence, more importantly, are you Anko?" Anko bowed. "Anko Mitarashi at your service- assuming your Naruto?" Koyuki tensed but nodded. "Wonderful! Now to training ground 44!" and so saying, Anko leaped out a window. Koyuki looked at the window before shrugging and disappearing in a shimmer.
Training ground 44
Anko arrived at the training ground to see Koyuki sitting calmly on a rock with his cane beside him. Surprised that a Genin, even one so gifted that they were assigned to an single teacher could have beaten her to her favorite training ground, Sexy and Single Anko was displeased. "Well brat, before we get down to business lets introduce ourselves, I am the sexy and single Anko Mitarashi, Tokubetsu-Jonin nominally assigned to the Torture and Interrogation corps of Kohona. I like Dango, hate certain snake faced bastards and hope one day to be free of stupid mark. Your turn brat."
Koyuki just sighed. "My title is the Koyuki-no Shoyu-Sha, if the need is dire you may merely call me Koyuki. I like the previous Koyuki, I dislike most of Kohona." Anko frowned in irritation at the introduction. "Look, I know your names Nar-" Koyuki cut her off sharply. "My title is the Koyuki-no Shoyu-Sha. I have bled, killed, and sacrificed for that title, so you will refer to me by it." Anko continued on stubbornly. "Yeah, except your birth name is Naruto Uzumaki." Koyuki's eyes began glowing as he removed his sunglasses. "I gave that name up when I took up both of these eyes." Anko winced at the spiderwebbed scars surrounding both jade eyes. Undeterred, Koyuki continued. "I took with these eyes the office of Koyuki-no Shoyu-Sha. An office that demands respect, and so far you have not given me a single iota of it. You arrived late, you attempted to test me, and now you refuse to refer to me properly."
Anko was not a happy camper, so far, this little brat had beaten her at speed, defied her, mocked her, and was now telling her off like a two year old. Anko started cracking her knuckles and sneering. "Alright brat, if you want respect earn it." Koyuki just looked at her before tapping his cane to the ground. Anko shouted in anger and and shock as green bands began wrapping around her.
As the bonds began to tighten Koyuki spoke idly. "Did you know the previous Koyuki used those bands as a form of interrogation?" Anko was struggling wildly against the slowly tightening jade bonds, Anko was about to shout at him before one of the bands wrapped around her jaw, keeping it shut. Koyuki continued speaking as Anko screamed behind closed lips. "The reason it is so effective is not the level of pain that it creates, not that its not excruciating, the reason it is so effective is the slow increase, the aching, the the fractures, the outright splintering." Anko had begun to whimper. "Oh! Theres the first snap! See while that hurts now, the kicker is that the band will continue to tighten, driving through flesh and forcing the broken bone through the other side." Anko's vision began to darken as her bones continued to snap. The last thing she heard was Koyuki's idle musings. "I remember that I once let the bands contract all the way, and the bandit I was practicing on was literally cut into little pieces…
