"Okay! Thank you!"
Red Bean said to Kakashi!
He didn't seem very happy; he looked preoccupied, and his expression was all over his face!
"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
Kakashi, seeing Anko's expression, immediately asked!
"I..."
Looking at Kakashi, Anko hesitated, unsure of how to speak to him.
"Let me treat you to some meatball skewers, you can tell me later!"
Seeing Anko's expression, Kakashi couldn't help but smile slightly. This wasn't the place to talk, and Kakashi also had a vague idea of why Anko was acting this way!
All of this can be blamed on Orochimaru. Because of Orochimaru's defection, although Anko did not leave with Orochimaru, she was still isolated by the upper echelons of Konoha and was not assigned any Jonin to guide her!
As for Anko, it seems that she has always been isolated. Kakashi once mentioned this to his teacher Minato Namikaze, but Minato Namikaze said that it was a unanimous decision of the elders, and he could not wipe his mouth anymore!
He could only feel sorry for Hongdou in his heart and curse the elders in his secret!
As we know from the original manga, Anko has always been steadfast in her loyalty to Konoha and has never considered betraying the village!
"Will you treat me to some meatballs? Sure!"
Upon hearing the word "maruko," Anko's eyes immediately lit up, and she excitedly exclaimed to Kakashi!
There wasn't a trace of frustration on his face!
Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this. Sure enough, this was Anko!
Because of her carefree and easygoing nature, Anko never chose to leave Konoha despite the suspicion and surveillance of the village, and eventually gained everyone's approval!
While treating Anko to dumplings, Anko finally confided her worries to Kakashi. Just as Kakashi had guessed, the inability to find Jonin guidance and the suspicion she faced left Anko feeling very lost and unsure of what to do.
"Orochimaru defected, but I really never intended to defect from Konoha!"
Finally, Anko spoke to Kakashi with some emotion, her eyes glistening with tears. It was clear that Anko had been very saddened by this matter!
However, unlike Naruto, Anko was not unreasonable. Although she was carefree, she knew that Konoha had its reasons for doing this!
"Yes, I believe you, Anko, would never betray Konoha!"
Kakashi looked at Anko seriously and said, looking at Anko's current state, Kakashi felt a little heartache for some reason. Eleven-year-old Anko was still very cute, but she had to go through such a thing!
"Really? Kakashi, you really believe me?"
Upon hearing this, Anko immediately looked at Kakashi excitedly and asked repeatedly!
"kindness!"
Kakashi smiled and nodded. Was there even a need to ask? Who knew better than him that Anko was definitely not a defector?
"Kakashi, how about you become my Jonin instructor?"
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Anko immediately widened her beautiful eyes and asked Kakashi a question!
"ah..."
Kakashi was taken aback when he heard this, not expecting Anko to make such a request of him!
"What... Kakashi, you're not willing to guide me either?"
Seeing Kakashi's reaction, Anko looked at him pitifully and said...
"No, of course I'd love to mentor you, but I'm not suited to be a mentor right now. I have to carry out my own missions every day!"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi immediately explained that there was something else he hadn't said: the upper echelons of Konoha were actually unwilling to mentor Anko, because they didn't want Anko to become too strong, fearing that another Orochimaru might emerge!
Of course, I'm not saying that Anko has the same talent as Orochimaru, but rather that she's someone who would betray Konoha just as easily!
"I don't need you to guide me every day, Kakashi. Just guide me occasionally when you have time!"
Upon hearing this, Anko immediately turned to Kakashi and said, "It's not easy to find someone who believes in me, especially a Jonin, the youngest genius in the village. Of course, Anko doesn't want to let this opportunity slip by!"
Kakashi hesitated upon hearing this, unsure whether he should agree to Anko's request. Even if it was only occasionally, Danzo would still cause him trouble!
"You're worried about the Hokage, aren't you..."
Seeing Kakashi's hesitation, Anko said sadly, "I understand. Thank you, Kakashi, for trusting me and treating me to dumplings. I won't make things difficult for you!"
At this point, Kakashi clearly heard Anko's voice choke up a little!
"It's alright. The Hokage is my teacher, and he believes in you just as much as I do that you won't defect from the village!"
Upon seeing Anko's appearance, Kakashi immediately said, "From now on, whenever I have time, I will copy and guide your training!"
"Oh...really? That's great..."
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Anko's previously disappointed expression immediately changed, and she looked at Kakashi with joy and smiled!
Her smile was radiant; this was probably the first time Anko had smiled so happily since Orochimaru's defection!
Seeing Anko's radiant expression, Kakashi felt his heart touched. Who cares about Danzo? It's unbelievable that he was afraid of that old bastard Danzo!
"Yes, I'm free this afternoon, I can give you some pointers!"
Kakashi immediately smiled at Anko! .
