Chapter 23 - ch 23: Anko asks questions.

...

.

Back at Kurenai's home.

.

After kurenai beat Anko for a couple hours she finally withdrew her genjutsu on Anko, and Anko was completely fine, well not mentally.

Anko fell to the ground, completely dazed before shaking her head quickly while she began to stare at kurenai angrily, "kurenai! Was there really a need to go that far".

Kurenai scoffed and went into the bathroom to clean up, when she finished, she saw Anko sat at a table staring at the cup she was holding.

Anko feeling a gaze on her turned towards Kurenai, picked up the cup and drank it slowly "have you calmed down now" Anko said after drinking the tea.

Kurenai scoffed and walked over to her fridge while saying "calm, of course I'm calm, it's not like my best friend, drugged me and thought she did the right thing".

Kurenai turned around after pulling out a beer bottle and sat at the table, the two began to stare at each other for a while.

Anko spoke clearing the silence in the room "so, that guy, what was he like, did he not leave a name or anything else behind".

Kurenai choked while drinking from the bottle, and she started coughing before saying "Anko, that's personal" she blushed furiously while glaring.

Anko leaned forward and whispered "but i saw you fall before standing, when you woke up, can you at least tell me his name, if you don't want to talk about it", Anko showed a teasing smile, wanting an answer from kurenai.

Kurenai finally relented and told her his name, Anko scratched her chin, thinking about something, kurenai seeing her like this asked "what do you know something about him".

Anko shook her head and responded with a straight face "I don't, it's my first time hearing that last name, but it's oddly similar to senju, sajuu huh? Is he an off branch to their family".

Kurenai 'sighed' and slumped herself on the table and replied with certainty "I doubt it, if he were, his family would be well known, they were probably lucky to get a last name, like my family".

Anko smiled mischiefly again and asked kurenai "do you know where he lives".

Kurenai however shook her head, causing Anko to pout with annoyance.

Anko finally came to her last question, "that voice we keep hearing in our heads, was it also that guy" Anko asked this because she heard him talking about her right after she left Kurenai.

Kurenai, waited for a moment before nodding, Anko showed her signature wild smile and responded with mischief "well well, now this is getting interesting"

.

Hokage office.

.

After tsunade had left kuraiya's home, she went straight to the hokage building, after arriving, she saw Jiraiya with Naruto.

"Jiraiya didn't you say, you were leaving the village, why are you still here" Jiraiya turned around and listened to tsunade's words and he replied "that's a little heartless ain't it, I've come to say goodbye, I'm leaving with this brat, right now actually".

Tsunade who heard this, turned her gaze to Naruto for a moment before it turned back to Jiraiya "then, good luck, I've got to do some paperwork, so I won't be seeing you off" she turned around and walked straight to the office.

Jiraiya's face twitched hearing how she responded and Naruto who was by his side said, "pervy sage, why are you always trying to talk to old lady hokage".

Naruto was scratching his cheek in confusion, Jiraiya hearing this blushed, then he slapped Naruto's shoulder sending him flying into the dirt "you brat, you shouldn't ask a grown up such a question".

Naruto who was eating dirt stood up angrily "what was that for! Is it because I hit a nerve, you forty year old virgin", Naruto's face showed righteousness, and a slight smugness.

Jiraiya's smile froze and his body started shaking, Naruto who was now walking behind Jiraiya with his arms crossed, felt a little cold.

Jiraiya turned around grinding his teeth "Na..ru..to, sometimes a man's greatest achievement is staying loyal to ones self, till the right one appears" his face was slightly dark.

Naruto swallowed hard and dropped his arms down slowly "uhm, pervy sage, I was just joking, just now, no need to be so angry" he started waving his hands around as if say 'stay calm stay calm'.

Jiraiya however ignored it, he rolled up his forearm clothing and smiled "oh Naruto, since you've said something so important to me, I'll be increasing your training amount, think of it as my good will".

He grabbed Naruto who was about to run by the arm and began to twist it, he shouted like a child "ultimate technique, devil's arm twister!".

"Aghhhh!" Naruto screamed in pain, but Jiraiya wasn't done yet, he grabbed the other arm and did the same thing.

After Jiraiya had finished, he clapped his together staring at his masterpiece, Naruto's arms were both swollen and red, his face showed resentment, pain and sadness.

He started tearing up, sniffled a little and murmured "I'll pay you back double for this, no triple.... No five times".

Jiraiya who started walking away turned around and said "what was that" Naruto quick to respond, replied "nothing nothing, I was just saying how great you were" he showed a fake smile and started following behind.

.

Meanwhile at the hospital.

.

Sasuke was stirring in his sleep, muttering "don't.. don't kill them" he started sweating profusely while holding his chest.

He woke up from his nightmare soon after muttering those words, he was breathing heavily, he stared at his hands for a while that were covered in sweat, without saying anything, then he turned his gaze to outside of the window of the hospital.

He stood up slowly, opened it and jumped out, after a couple minutes jumping from roof to roof, he finally landed on a tree trunk.

He sat down without saying anything, unaware that there was people watching him, it didn't take long for him to notice though, he stood up and said "come out, I know your there".

However no one appeared, instead what greeted him was attacks from sound ninjas.

He got caught by the first attack, it was steel wire, that was wrapping around him, keeping him in place with the trunk of the tree.

The sound ninjas thinking, that Sasuke couldn't move or do anything, finally showed themselves.

One of them said in a sarcastic tone "hmph, to think this is the one, lord orochimaru thinks highly of, he's nothing at all".

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and spoke "so your with orochimaru, what does he want".

The four armed guy responded with a sneer "what else does he want, he wants to inhabit your body".

"Inhabit my body" Sasuke muttered with disgust, but he also heard them continue there talks "he also said if your not up to par, we can deal with you however we see fit, and we've chosen to kill you".

After listening to why they were here, Sasuke broke the steel wire and began to have a battle with them, after beating two, they began to falter.

He struggled against the last two, before pulling through still without injury.

Just as he thought he was winning one of the sound ninjas started beating him badly before, he had no choice but to activate the curse seal.

However this was proven useless, as the one beating him sneered and did the same thing only better, after beating Sasuke, he was about to finish him off.

"Uhm" he turned his gaze away from Sasuke and he shouted to the sound ninjas,"run, we've been discovered".

Just as they were about to leave the one that beat Sasuke said to the beaten Sasuke "Sasuke, if you want more power, come to the forest, tomorrow night, we'll be leaving after tomorrow".

The four sound ninjas quickly vanished and Sasuke murmured to himself in a daze "did I lose just now" he clenched his fists and started having ideas of actually going, now.

But kakashi appeared out of nowhere, and began to check the surroundings, he finally settled his gaze on Sasuke "Sasuke, what happened here, just now".

Sasuke didn't answer, he just slumped back down on the trunk muttering about strength.

Kakashi 'sighed' not knowing what to do, so he spoke as a teacher "Sasuke, whatever your thinking about right now, I hope you choose the right choice".

Kakashi quickly vanished leaving Sasuke alone again.

Sasuke finally looked up with determined eyes and he said to himself "to defeat that traitor, I'll seek power, even if it means I'll be deceived by that weirdo".

He smiled and thought [orochimaru may think he's in control, but he's simply a pawn, just like me, we'll both be using each other.]
