Chapter 293 - Ch293. Hard Lesson For Kiddies 2

Anko watched with a bloodthirsty grin as the gears in her new boys' heads turned and the horrible comprehension of what just happened dawned on them. She enjoyed the abject horror etched on their faces and the feeling of hopelessness and loss that filled their unmoving eyes focused on Hinata's corpse.

But... she didn't need a rampaging Kyuubi on her hands so, unfortunately, her fun was over. Letting go of the kunai's handle, Hinata's corpse suddenly burst into smoke, leaving only a log behind, driving the two despairing boys into an almost heart-attack-inducing shock.

The amount of relief their faces showed... Anko couldn't help herself and chuckle at how naively cute they were.

The teacher's desk suddenly burst into smoke, revealing the blushing and bound Hinata with fear-filled eyes while Anko's clone had her in her lap, leaning the girl's back on her chest while her hand was under Hinata's jacket, fondling the girl's left breast..

Hinata didn't know what to do. She felt... odd. On one hand, the things Anko did to her chest were very... amazing and felt good. She didn't want her to stop. On the other hand, she just witnessed herself dying in a very cruel manner by the hand of the woman who was currently fondling her chest. That naturally drove the fear of God into the girl's mind. She couldn't even muster the courage to give a meager protest against the way Anko's clone treated her.

"Do you know what you did wrong?" Anko asked Naruto and Sasuke, causing them to feel as if a bucket of ice-cold water was poured on them when they finally realized it was all just an illusion and Hinata was still alive.

Obviously, neither of the boys had any idea why their asses were so thoroughly kicked and their ugly expressions showed it.

Sighing, Anko decided to enlighten them, "Your eyes are fucking faulty, that's what!" She gave an intense meaningful look at the Uchiha who stopped short when his brain realized what she just said.

Sasuke... blushed beet red when he finally realized that he didn't even activate his Sharingan for this fight. He was so caught up in the moment that he totally forgot. Too worried for Hinata that it never even occurred to him.

"And you!" Anko redirected her gaze to Naruto who gave her an unsure sheepish grin and waited for his 'judgment', "No ramen for you for a month if you don't tell me what you did wrong in five seconds!"

Naruto's grin disappeared as if in a flash as the consequences of failure dawned on him and his face revealed even bigger horror than when Hinata supposedly died.

'Shit, shit, shit!' His mind worked overtime. 'Shit, shit, shit!'

"One... Two... Three..." Anko started the countdown while Naruto was outwardly panicking, sweat streaming down his forehead and his eyes wide in disbelief at his predicament, "Four... Fi-"

"SENSING!" Naruto screamed in desperation, "I FAILED TO SENSE YOU, ANKO-SENSEI!"

Anko silently stared at the gasping blonde who stared at her with intense worry, hoping he was correct. When she didn't say anything, Naruto was becoming more and more agitated, gulping hard and fidgeting.

Only after ten more seconds did Anko finally nod her head, "Correct. You idiot are one of the natural sensors in the village, yet, you didn't notice that 'Hinata' was just an illusion. How dense must you be for that to happen? No ramen for you this week and that's final!" Anko's words fell on Naruto like lightning from the sky.

Naruto was aware he messed up. He was so worried for Hinata he never even considered the possibility that what his eyes perceived was not real. In hindsight, he should have known better after training under Anko for years. But... no ramen for an entire week!? Wasn't that just Anko being unreasonably cruel for the sake of being cruel!? His religion was at stake here! He gotta do something!

"And no complaining or I will change it to a month." Anko added and Naruto suddenly decided that a week-long break sounded good. The Food of Gods could wait that long for its most ardent worshipper. It wasn't smart to tempt the devil Dango blasphemer and get his access to ramen cut for longer...

Nobody could say Naruto didn't learn when to be quiet under Anko's tutelage.

"And then we have the perverted peeker girl." The real Anko turned towards Hinata who was still being given the groping of her young life by the clone Anko. "I am sure you know what you did wrong. Tell us." She beckoned.

Hinata was half-mortified because she indeed knew what Anko wanted from her. Saying it, however... It was embarrassing! Knowing what is good for her, Hinata ducked her head and decided to obey. "I... I didn't peeeeeek!" She started and then squeaked in a high voice when the clone Anko licked her neck mid-speech, causing the girl to blush from head to toes.

"Yes... with how much you use your Byakugan to look at what's in the boys' pants, I thought you would be the first to notice me." Anko remarked in disappointment, mischievously smiling when she saw the two boys give Hinata astonished but bashful looks.

"I-... I-... I do-... I don't do THAT!" Hinata screamed in an embarrassed stutter as her delicate Hyuuga sensibilities were offended enough for her to momentarily even ignore the clone Anko's antics.

"And you can prove that... how?" Anko gleefully goaded, causing the mortified Hinata to go completely quiet as she had no proof. "Thought so, Princess!" Anko said in a sing-song voice.

Anko was satisfied with her handiwork here. Sasuke was berating himself for being stupid. With this embarrassing experience, Anko doubted the boy will ever forget to use his Sharingan. Naruto was properly cowed and shown his place, which meant he hopefully won't cause trouble and try to prank anyone in the following month. And Hinata was embarrassed just shy of fainting, which, from what Anko knew of the girl after she trained her for years, would motivate the girl to get better. This could be counted as a very productive hour for Anko-sensei!

'And they said I would be a horrible sensei!' Anko inwardly complained, not even realizing how close her methods were to Orochimaru's.

"You three... Ninja lesson number ONE! Just because you are in a friendly territory doesn't mean you can completely disregard vigilance. You drop your guard as a ninja only in case... NEVER!" Anko firmly stated, glaring at the three cowed genins.

Noticing that her cute little genins understood the hard lesson, Anko's mind trailed off to the last part of her team and her expression twitched.

Narrowing her eyes, Anko spoke, "Let's go. We have a lost jonin sensei to find." She commanded in a tone that clearly stated complaining would not be tolerated, causing the three genins to fearfully nod.

They realized that...

The pissed-off Anko was back.
