Chapter 8: Team Anko

                                    

                                          
The class was still in shock as this woman stood proudly in front her banner. Some of the boys were gawking at her mostly because of how she was dressed. After a few seconds, Iruka appeared from behind the banner. He didn't look very happy with the woman in front of him.
                          
"Why do you do this every time?" Iruka asked annoyed.
                          
"What flew up your butt and died? I'm just here to pick up my team." Anko said.
                          
"The senseis of the teams are supposed to pick them up after lunch." Iruka explained.
                          
"Oh, sorry about that." Anko said sheepishly. She turned to the class. "Which one of you is team twelve?" The class pointed to Naruto, Yakumo and Jakken very quickly. Anko took three kunai and threw them at each of them. They flinched a little but the kunais were never meant to hit them. They looked to see a small note attached to it.
                          
"What's this?" asked Jakken.
                          
"That's the location of where I'll be. I'm certainly not returning to come and get you so you'll meet me there. Just make sure that you're prepared and bring your weapons." Anko instructed.
                          
"Why would we need to do that?" asked Yakumo. Anko smiled but it was a happy smile.
                          
"You'll see, heh, heh, heh." Anko said with a dark chuckle. Anko left through the window. Naruto, Yakumo and Jakken looked at Iruka who just sighed.
                          
It was now noon and team twelve was making their way to the location on the paper. Yakumo walked with Naruto while Jakken was ahead of them. It was mostly because Yakumo kept herself and Naruto away from him. Jakken didn't bother to look back at them. Naruto looked at the team he was put on and sighed. He was also curious about his old sensei's reason for placing Jakken together with him. While he may have forgiven Jakken on the attempt of his life, he had not forgotten about it.
                          
Still, the old man must have had a reason. He would trust his judgment on this. After a while, they finally reach the location. It looked like a training ground but it was covered by a gate. It had danger signs all over the place. The forest was massive and dark. They all looked around for Anko when they heard the sound of something flying through the air. They each deflected something with kunai and waited.
                          
"I'll give you little snots an A- for your reflexes but an F- for your defensive positions." Anko's voice rang out. The team found her sitting out a branch with a dango stick in her mouth. She dropped off the branch and landed in front of them. Each of them was still cautious of her intentions which pleased her. "Don't worry; I'm no longer going to attack. Let's get our introductions over with before we continue."
                          
"What are you talking about?" Yakumo asked.
                          
"What are you, stupid? Introduce yourselves. What are your likes, dislikes, hobbies, interest, stuff like that." Anko said.
                          
"Why do you go first? You are the unknown among the group." Naruto said.
                          
"That is true. The name is Anko Mitarashi, interrogator and assassin. My likes are snakes, blood, dango and a little 'fun'." Anko said suggestively. "I dislike a lot of things, too much to say. Interest, I would say scaring the crap out of people and pissing people off." She said. The team looked at her in confusion and shock.
                          
'This chick is crazy!' Jakken thought.
                          
'She likes blood! What kind of sick people does the ninja force have?' Yakumo thought.
                          
'She's hiding something. Whatever it is, it has caused her a lot of pain.' Naruto thought as he observed her. Anko looked at the team and smirked.
                          
"Are you thinking bad thoughts about me?" They all went rigged. "Naughty children, I should punish you. But since we are on the clock, I'll let it slide." Anko said with amusement. She then pointed to Naruto.
