Chapter 055

"You got me," Anko said as he pulled the kunai and shuriken from out of her skirt, annoyed that Naruto damaged her clothes, "That was really good."

Naruto approached Anko who appeared like she was about to hand him back his weapons. As he reached out for them, a viper popped out from within her sleeves and wrapped around Naruto's arm before it bit deeply into his arm.

"AAaaaaaaaaahhh," Naruto cried in pain as the poisonous snake refused to release him from its hold and bite. Anko grinned sinisterly as her snake held its grip on Naruto.

"You're too trusting Yondaime-gaki," Anko said, "Never lower your guard to an enemy."

"Especially if that enemy is a viper," Naruto looked at Anko and retorted, "And you would do well to take my advice."

Anko looked at him questionably.

"Like I told you before," Naruto said seriously, "It would be wise for you not to underestimate me."

With that, Naruto puff into a cloud of white smoke.

"That was a kage bushin," Anko said after being caught off guard as she dropped the kunai and shuriken. The shuriken though puffed into white smoke and out came Naruto who grabbed the kunai and speedily dashed and pinned Anko to the ground, holding both her arms down firmly to the ground with his kneecaps. He placed his full weight on her arms leaving her completely immobilized on her back as he held the kunai to her throat, ready to slash her jugular at a moment's notice.

"I'll say it again," Naruto stated, "I could have killed you the entire time in more ways than one Anko-chan."

Damn this kid is more resourceful than I gave him credit for, Anko admitted to herself, I understand now why so many ninjas have fallen victim to his traps and why he wasn't placed on a Genin team. I'm surprised that he wasn't made Jounin or ANBU.

"OK Yondaime-gaki you can get off me now," Anko said before she gave a warped grin, "I know you enjoy having me on my back and being on top of me and all but our sparring is now over!"

Naruto blushed heavily and frowned at Anko's twisted remark. He did as he was told as he placed his kunai back into it compartment after he noticed a certain seal on her neck but not making mention of it yet.

"And you call me a pervert," Naruto said. Anko snorted as she brushed the dirt off herself, "Like you don't enjoy being alone with me."

"I learned to put up with you so I guess it counts for something," Naruto replied. Anko snorted again and stuck her tongue at him. The student-teacher relationship between those two is anything but orthodox. Anko and Naruto had a knack for shooting each other with sarcasm. They were always trying to be the one with the last words. Anko didn't mind Naruto placing "chan" instead of sensei at the end of her name. In truth being call "sensei" made her feel old, and no other person has ever called her "Anko-chan," and even though she didn't verbally admit it, she liked the honorific familiarity Naruto calls her by.

"Whatever," Anko said, "Anyway, judging from the way you fight it's clear that you were excellently taught and I highly doubt it was at the academy. Your skills are too advanced."

"That's why the academy bored me," Naruto said, "Many of the stuff they taught me Kaa-chan already had me trained in them."

"Yes I know," Anko shot back, "I'm surprised that you didn't graduate early."

"The old geezer wouldn't hear of it," Naruto stated, "I wanted to graduate early but he said that I had too big an arrogance in how I viewed others and myself and that four years at the academy would serve to humble me."

"That's harsh," Anko said before smiling her sadistic trademark grin, "He could have been more "merciful" by sending you to me back then. I would have had you re-educated within the hour."

"Was that a private lesson you were offering me sensei," Naruto asked with a mischievous tone.

"Shut up," Anko replied before deciding to change the subject, "Alright Yondaime-gaki, seeing that I'm your teacher and that you're a most advanced Genin, I won't waste our time in the average training rookie Genins go through. Therefore I have something else in mind for you to study and practice."

"Really?"

"Follow me," Anko said as both Naruto and her started walking off to her place. While on there way to where she lives, Naruto thought about that mark he saw on her neck on her left shoulder.

'You saw the seal on her neck I presume,' Yondaime said.

I did, Naruto replied, Do you know what it is?

'Speaking as a seal master, I'm certain that Orochimaru has something to do with it. That Sannin was known for his use of forbidden seals and S-class kinjutsus.'

"…," Naruto remained silent.

'Perhaps it would be best for you to inquire of it from Anko if she's willing to talk about it.'

Naruto nodded slightly. After fifteen minutes of silent walking, they reached the tower. She went inside after telling him to wait outside for her. After another five minutes, Anko returned with a large bag in her hand.

"What's with the bag Anko-chan," Naruto asked.

Anko smiled as she tossed him the bag. The blonde caught the bad only to find that a pile of books and scrolls were inside the bag. Naruto's eyes widened from the number. Anko laughed at his expression.

"What the hell are all these scrolls and books for," Naruto asked.

"Scrolls and books that you'll need to study from so you can grasp the beginning of the jutsus you'll learn with me," Anko explained, "These books and scrolls will teach you the basics of poisons, serpents and snake summoning."
