Insanity of Kohona

Chapter 8

Anko was awoken by a tight feeling across her chest, she opened her eyes to see Koyuki with his jade eyes glowing, lean closer while wielding a kunai, before he whispered in her ear. "This wont hurt a bit."

Anko awoke with a pained gasp, as she opened her eyes she was greeted to the sight of extremely pissed looking Sarutobi. Anko thought fast as she realized that what she felt must have been a dream, and just how deep in it she was based on the look on Sarutobi's face. "Errrrr, how ya do'in Hokage-sama?" The Hokage's right eye began to twitch as he scowled in irritation at Anko. "Oh, I don't know. I assign the strongest ninja of the upcoming generation to you, a man who has already killed and tortured his opponents and is on par with any Chunin in the village and in a matter of months could be on par with Jonin, I then find out later that you blatantly ignored his warning and requests before challenging him to a fight. "

As the Hokage spoke his eye twitch became decidedly more pronounced. "Not to mention that the only reason your alive is because Koyuki decided to bring you to the hospital," Anko winced at the thought that she had been so easily crushed and then been taken pity on by a brat many years her junior, and still the Hokage continued with his lecture. "And now, to top it all off, Koyuki is insisting that if you were my choice for his Jonin sensei then he should be allowed to serve as a reserve member, and that if you are incapable of self control as a Jonin then you should be demoted."

Anko was about to object when Sarutobi shot her a look. Now, this wasn't just a normal look, it wasn't a hateful look, or even a look that conveyed killing intent, it was a look that said, you are so deep in the s**t right now, that I am considering shoveling some more on because you have pissed me off by digging yourself this deep. Anko quickly shut her mouth.

The Hokage snorted in sour amusement before continuing. "And the kicker of this whole situation? Because of how absolutely rip shittingly pissed you have made Koyuki, and how terrified and desperate the civilian council and the elders are to get on Koyuki's good SIDE, HE IS THIS CLOSE TO GETTING EVERYTHING HE WANTS." Towards the end of his rant the Hokage was on the edge of seat, almost shouting at Anko, desperately trying to convey how badly she had screwed up before she managed to do something else to die her grave even deeper. Anko looked shocked that the normally calm and kind Sarutobi looked a few seconds away from smothering her with a pillow. "So whats my punishment?: Sarutobi eyed Anko. "Your punishment? Nothing, because Im the Hokage I managed to shut them down, In the process alienating many on the civilian council as well as both of my advisors. But what is going to happen to you, is that you are going to be placed on suspension for six months as Koyuki's Jonin Sensei, and you will afford him the respect that his is due, and the only reason you are getting this chance is because I promised Koyuki a significant favor if he did not opt to go on to the reserve list." Anko burst in frustration. "Im sorry Hokage-sama but why are you investing so much effort into one, admittedly exceptional, ninja?" The Hokage sighed.

"Im getting old I will need to retire again so that the next Hokage can have a peaceful and smooth transition of power, and the fact that a new Genin just single handedly broke you, I feel like we need that kind of talent, and we need to keep that talent unless you feel like another village should have that level of power?" Anko shook her head chagrined. The Hokage nodded in satisfaction and left.

Anko woke in a start to see Koyuki sitting idly in a chair next to her bed, his hands idly tapping against the head of his cane, before Anko could so much as yell for help, Koyuki bowed his head. "I am deeply sorry, I let my emotions get the best of me, and in the face of your disrespect, I lost my temper, I am truly sorry." Anko frowned, "The fault mostly lay with me, I am the Jonin, I should have been more respectful." Naruto sat back with a neutral exspression. "Were you aware that I had killed the previous Koyuki not 48 hours before then?"

Anko shook her head in shock, Koyuki's eyes flashed briefly before he spoke again. "I thought not, Ill be honest, I don't really care if you don't like me, because I sure as hell don't like you. But, you are a fellow ninja of Kohona, and as such, while I work with you I will have your back. I expect the same. I will also invest every effort into an early promotion and would appreciate you doing the same." Anko nodded. "Very good then, I am told you will be ready to. be released in three days time, so, I recommend you read my file, and then we meet up in a week." And with that, Koyuki calmly walked out of the room.
