Chapter 18 – Anko’s move?

The next day

Me and Hinata arrive first at the training ground already wearing our weight.

The mood is calm, and we don't feel the need to fill the confortable silence between us.

Then Sakura arrived. Her eyes meet Hinata's and she approaches her.

The tension can be felt in the air. She knows, I don't know how but she does.

I never planned to keep secrets but everything happened too fast.

I intended to get closer to both before this moment.

Hinata looks down, avoiding the confrontation but then steels her resolve and stares back at Sakura.

Sakura's stern face changes into a smile.

"Good, give up now or never, otherwise it'd just be disrespect"

She walks to me this time, no expression on her face.

I don't defend myself as she slaps me across the cheek.

Then she leans in and we kiss deeply.Sakura breaks the kiss but by now I was hugging her lower back.

"Yami, I can't be mad at you or Hinata.But promise no matter who shows up, you don't ever abandon me"

"I promise Sakura.I promise I won't ever abandon anyone. We stay together.All of us"

I turn to Hinata and she closes in. I continue to hold Sakura as she approaches and share a kiss as well.

Life was good.

Until Anko arrived

"If you lovebirds are done it's time to get going, save it for your free time.I got us this great mission today you are going to love.We get to scrub the public baths.Obviously, it's closed for cleaning and we don't get to use them after"

We got to spend our whole morning sweating in our clothes as we scrubbed and broomed the whole place.It made me wish I knew the kage bushin technique already but that would just be cheating myself out of a workout and wasting chakra on top.

We eat together and Sakura and Hinata fill me in on Anko's role the past couple of days.

My opinion of Anko just went up 300% but her motives are dubious and she went a little too far...

That afternoon once we met up with Anko ago I approached her.

"Anko sensei. I've found an offensive application of my power"

"Ohhh interesting. What is it?"

"It is similar to genjustsu but requires me to touch a target to initiate it. Care to try it?"

She holds out her hand.

"Let's see it then"

I grab hold of it and slowly exert control over her nerve signals. I keep her standing But prevent her from actively moving anything below her neck.

"So when does it start working?"

I throw back at Anko one of her own smiles.

"It already is sensei. Try to move"

Nothing happens except her smile fading from her face replaced by shock.

"Wow! It really works on even Anko-sensei" Sakura is amazed.

"She's all yours now Sakura"

"Wuhaat?" Anko stutters as Sakura removes some ropes from her pocket.

She ties Anko up as I explain how my technique differs from a genjutsu and is completely unspellable by the person caught.I also mention how I can make it fake sensations, somewhat control the recipient's body and even kill with it.

"That's quite a powerful technique Yami, I can see it being very useful in deception and interrogations as well."

By now Anko is bound in 5 different kinds of ropes and chains and I dispel the technique to conserve the rest of my Chakra.

"HEHEHE. It's time to punish this lewd kunoichi"

"Do you worst Sakura. Don't forget torture is one of my specialties". Anko grins back regaining her calm front.

I step back and move next to Hinata who hugs my arm and has a smile on her face from enjoying the show.

"Ohh yeah how about this, bitch"

Sakura grabs Anko's chest held between two horizontal ropes.It's a shame she's not actually tied with an actual tortoise shell bondage.

Maybe I should look into how it's made. I know the look but not the knots. Maybe I can take a drawing to some knot expert and have him find a way...

Sakura fondles Anko's perky D-cup boobs in a faithful impression of a certain pervert frog.

"What's the secret to getting them to get this big sensei, mine are refusing to bulge.Are they just matching how much of a slut you are inside?"

Anko remains silent with a smile on her face which triggers alarm bells in my head.This isn't going to end well…

"Sakura…"

"Hehehe... Huh, yes Yami" Sakura stops her fondling.

"Think about what happens next… what will Anko-sensei do once she's free? We can't just keep her tied forever."

Anko's ropes fall from her body all at the same time.

There is no kunai or shuriken in sight and we haven't noticed a single muscle twitch yet she managed to cut all the tight ropes binding her, even the ones around her legs.

Sakura freezes in place.

"Aren't you taking Jonin a bit too lightly, Sakura?Seems a couple of lessons are in order"

Hinata hides behind me trying to escape punishment but I have a feeling we're in from some teambonding suffering.

"The first lesson is to never underestimate your enemy, literally lesson 1 in the academy.Perhaps I need to send you back for a refresher….

The second lesson is to not needlessly offend an enemy you aren't planning to kill. That just leads to bad blood and revenge.You never know when you might need their help against a bigger enemy."

"Yes sensei!! We've learnt our lesson" Sakura rushes to say.

"Now for your punishment…

We're going to play a game of tag, you're running and the loser gets to be eaten."

Anko starts weaving hand signs and I pull Hinata by her arm to start running. A jutsu from Anko can only mean one thing…"

Sakura takes a few step backs hesitantly, her danger sense is too weak.

"SAKURA RUN!!!"

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu"

Anko finishes her jutsu and with a cloud of smoke, a big snake shows up in front of her. It's about 6 meters long and girthy enough I'm sure it has enough room in its stomach for the three of us.

Sakura finally starts running at full speed as we throw most of our kunais and shurikans to buy her some time.

We are chased by the snake for the next two hours until we're completely exhausted but the snake relentlessly chases and catches up to Sakura.

Hinata and me try with all our might but we can't damage the snake's scales and its slippery covering prevents us from dragging it.

Sakura cries as the snake gobbles her feet first.

When the snake is about to close its mouth around her head and finish swallowing Sakura whole Anko sends her back, letting Sakura fall a few centimeters down on the ground.

We all swear to never learn any of her snake jutsu.

Our punishment over I spend the rest of the day consoling Sakura.
