Chapter 3

"Let me go!" Naruto exclaimed. He was currently hanging upside down on the monument. Below him, a giant snake was coiled and waiting for him. He looked up to see a grinning Anko who was holding the rope. "You're crazy lady! You're crazy!"

"I've had enough of you brat. I don't care if I get killed for this but you will no longer bother me and ruin my life. This is the end for you." Anko said with an evil laugh.

"Hey, if you would have just answered my question, you would have been able to continue on with your life!" Naruto shouted.

"Are you telling me that you have tormented me for a week because of a stupid question?" Anko roared. Naruto gulped and Anko released the rope. Naruto plummeted to his death as Anko laughed loudly.

Anko was grinning with her eyes closed when she felt someone shake her. She awoke and looked around the room she was in. She recognized it as a hospital room. She saw her friend Kurenai, the Sandaime Hokage and,

"YOU!" Anko roared and prepared to lunge at Naruto. She was held back by Kurenai and Naruto ducked behind the Hokage. Kurenai was able to restrain her friend and Naruto poked his head from behind the Hokage.

"That will be enough of that Anko. I'm sorry that Naruto has caused you such trouble and he will apologize for it." Hiruzen said.

"Hey, why do I have to apologize?" exclaimed Naruto. "She flipped out and started to chase me with kunai."

"You ate my lunch!" Anko shouted.

"Well, if you would just answer my question, I wouldn't have done that. You're just being stubborn." Naruto stated with an angry frown. Anko took a few calming breaths before she did something that she would regret. She looked at the boy with a glare.

"Fine! What's you're damn question?" Anko asked.

"How do you deal with it?" Naruto asked.

"Excuse me?"

"How do you deal with all the whispers and glares you get from the villagers?" Anko looked at him with surprise. "I would usually smile through everything and proclaim that I'm going to take his hat but sometimes it gets to be too much. You seem to deal with it much better than I do. So, what's your secret?" he asked.

"Wow, I wasn't expecting that. I don't know what to tell you kid. The way I am is just so that they don't mess with me. I don't take stuff from anyone and I let them know that I their words don't bother me. It helps that I have some really close friends to talk to." Anko explained.

"Oh, I think I would just make things worse if I started acting like that and I don't really have any friends." Naruto said with a somber tone. Kurenai and Hiruzen looked at him with sadness. He quickly put up his grin on and looked at Anko. "Well, thanks for answering my question and I'm sorry if I messed with you too much. It was kind of fun." He said. With a mock salute, he was gone. Anko just watched the door with a somber face. She turned to Kurenai.

"How did I end up here anyway?" Anko asked.

"You slipped while you were chasing him. He attempted to grab a hold of your coat but you were a little too heavy for him. Don't worry; you only landed on your head. That part is hard as a rock." Kurenai joked. Anko grinned a little but looked back at the door. She was thinking about what the kid asked and it bothered her greatly.

Anko didn't why she was doing this. She was finally free of the blond rat. He wasn't popping up everywhere, she could eat in peace and she could finally relax. So why was she about to do this? It was because of surveillance that she did on Naruto. She watched as he trained and walked around the village. She was very tempted to kill a few villagers over what they did to him. She dealt with one of the grocers who over-charged him. She admitted that he had some potential to be a shinobi but that he was badly under taught. She also saw that he was very lonely. It was something that she greatly remembered. After a week of watching him, she felt that she needed to do something.

It was because of this that she was visiting the Hokage. She entered the office and faced the Hokage. Hiruzen looked up at her. He could see the nervousness in her and wondered what was wrong.

"Is there something I can help you with Anko?" Hiruzen asked.

"Yeah, I was hoping that you could give me three months to deal with some personal business." Anko said.

"Three months is quite a time Anko. What is so important that you would need such time?" he asked.

"Let's just say that I feel obligated to fix this personal issue. Please, I just need those three months." She begged. Hiruzen looked at Anko and could see that she needed it.

"Very well, you have your time off to settle this personal issue that you have." Hiruzen said.

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you! You would regret it sir." Anko said and left. Something told the old Kage that he would.
