A few days later, silence descended in the Hokage Office after Anko, Yugao, Hana, Asuma, Guy, and Kakashi finished their reports.
Hiruzen stayed silent, staring at the table, and then raised his eyes when he saw Enma step forward and open a Storage Scroll.
With a puff of smoke, and large briefcase appeared on the table, and the Hokage opened it, staring at its contents.
He knew that this was the briefcase that Kakashi had retrieved for Hiruko and left the Village with.
"Thank you, Enma-kun." He smiled and then took out the jar that contained the pair of Byakugan eyes. "Neji, take them to your uncle. These belong to your Clan."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!" The Hyuga stepped forward and accepted the jar in his hands, and he frowned as he stared at the eyes that it contained.
"If I am not wrong, these eyes belonged to your Granduncle. He was killed during the Second Shinobi War, and Hiruko was the Medic in his squadron. His body was never found."
Neji nodded his head and stepped back to return to his position.
"All missions accomplished for Team 5. Additionally, Team 10 and Team 3 have completed an A-Rank Mission. You will receive the highest rewards for them. Even though you have not brought back any proof of Hiruko's death, I will take your word for it. He had a bounty of 30,000,000 ryo on his head, and that money will be equally divided between the fifteen of you."
They were all stunned at how generous the Hokage was and quickly bowed to him to express their gratitude.
"All of you are dismissed except Kakashi and Yugao."
They bowed to him again before they left the office, and the Hokage then stared at the Copy Ninja.
"You are fined 2 Million ryo for your negligence."
"Yes, Hokage-sama..." he lowered his head.
"Report to me everything again." He said as he sank back in his chair and took a deep puff from his pipe. "Everything."
Kakashi and Yugao obediently gave the report again, this time, not keeping back any details. Not even that of their allies.
"So, Uzumaki Kushina is a Sage..."
"A Perfect Sage," Kakashi nodded his head. "She's even stronger and faster than Sensei was."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive," The Copy Ninja nodded his head.
"And Pakura and that Yuki? Do you trust their words?"
Yugao and Kakashi unhesitantly nodded their heads.
"Dismissed."
"Hai!" The two bowed to the Hokage before they quickly left the Office.
Hiruzen stared at the door that had closed, and then leaned back in the chair, taking another puff of smoke.
He glanced at the papers in front of him, where the Uzumaki Matriarch had asked him to grant citizenship of the Hidden Leaf to Pakura and Kahyo, and presented herself as their guarantor.
The two Kunoichi had already gone through a Mind Scan yesterday, and he did not doubt that they were telling the truth.
Yamanaka Inoichi had cleared them.
He had already known what the Fourth Kazekage did to Pakura and that the Hidden Sand had sold her for a peace treaty with Kiri, but he did not know that she had survived.
As for the Yuki, the entire world knew about the Bloodline Purge in the Hidden Mist.
The only issue he had with granting them citizenship was that they were not going to enter the Ranks of Konoha Shinobi Force. Instead, they were going to become the protectors of the Uzumaki Clan.
After thinking for a while, he decided to grant the Uzumaki Matriarch this favour and signed the two papers.
"Kuma. Go and inform Uzumaki Kushina that Pakura and Kahyo are now the citizens of Konoha, under the guarantee of the Uzumaki Clan. Give them the Konoha Forehead Protectors as well. They are Shinobi, but unranked."
The Anbu revealed himself and left the office after accepting the two forms.
On the other side, after everyone parted ways, Anko wrapped her arm around Enma's neck and took him with her to have a chat.
The two travelled deep into the Forest of Death, where there was a wooden cottage.
It was quite a beautiful place, but seeing its state, it was quite clear that no one had been here for a long time.
"It used to be my home. I haven't lived here for a while now." She excitedly said as she dragged him inside with her, and surprisingly, it was neat and clean.
"What do you want to talk about, Sensei?" Enma curiously asked, and Anko grinned at his question.
"You have a fever for the last two days."
"My body is fighting against the foreign objects that have invaded it." He said as a matter of fact, and she nodded her head.
"You saw the Metal Dust, didn't you? It's not possible that you did not see it since he needed Chakra to control it."
Sure enough, he tensed up at her question.
"Tell me the truth, Gaki. What happened there?"
"Do I have to answer?"
"Yes. It's an order from your Sensei," she nodded her head.
"He was going to attack all of us with the Metal Dust, so, I pulled it all to myself. He did not like what I did, so, he incapacitated me inside the Steel Prison, which had the power to absorb Chakra. I lost focus for a brief moment, and the Metallic Dust entered my body after only the air littered with it was left for me to breathe. For the entire time I spent inside the Steel Prison, I was preventing the Metallic Dust from damaging my body from the inside, which left me exhausted."
Anko stared at his blindfolded eyes, and her heart was very restless.
"And that Genjutsu?"
"I created it when I sensed that he stopped using his Eyes for a brief moment."
"And how did you create it?" She asked, and he remained quiet. "Secret?"
"Yes," He nodded his head.
Anko smiled at him.
"You have performed exceptionally well in these last two adventures of ours. We have made millions of ryo. So, your Sensei had decided to give you a reward."
"Yes?"
"Want to sign a Summoning Contract with the Snakes?" She asked and smiled even more brightly when he nodded his head. "Good, but you will have to do one more thing for me if you want it."
"Yes?" Enma asked and froze when she leaned in and captured his lips.
He did not resist her as she started taking off his clothes, and within a few minutes, she had him naked and lying on her bed.
Enma heard and watched her take off her own clothes in his Mind's Eye, and then she climbed into the bed and grabbed his manhood.
"You see, Gaki, your Sensei missed out on a lot of good things in her life." She worked her hand over his length and smiled at his reaction. "I was thirteen when my Sensei betrayed me, and used me as a tool for his experiments. Even though I survived and was a victim, I was looked upon as a pariah by the Shinobi Force. Everyone, including the Hokage, believed that I was not innocent. Why did my Sensei let me live?" She ruefully smiled. "They thought he had left me behind to spy on the village for him."
Anko stayed silent as she felt him grow harder and harder in her hand.
"The truth is, I loved and respected my Sensei a lot. At first, I felt betrayed by what he did to me, but as time passed by, my pain morphed into anger. I did everything to help the village gain their confidence back in me. I took on impossible Missions, survived on the verge of death time and time again, and became an asset to the Hokage which was soon indispensable. And yet, they never trusted me."
She stopped speaking and then giggled a few moments later.
"I fell in love once. He was a Chunin, a few years older than me. We went out on a few dates, and I genuinely started to believe that he did not look at me like everyone else did. He was kind, understanding, handsome... but there was always this voice in my head, my Sensei's voice, which kept telling me that it was all a lie. And though I wanted to live it even if it was a lie, I ended up spying on him, and the truth crushed my dreams."
Anko planted a kiss on the tip of his manhood.
"You see, he was spying on me for the Hokage, and at the same time, he had a bet with his friends that he could fuck me and make me fall deep in love with him. Once he accomplished his goal, he planned on throwing me away because I was a snake, and snakes should never be trusted and kept close." She giggled. "You know, out of all the Jutsus that my Sensei taught me, there is one that only he and I can use in this world."
His curiosity rose at her words, but so did the sensations he was feeling from her warm hand that kept working on his manhood.
"Death Art: Twin Snake Mutual Sacrifice."
Anko stopped and he furrowed his brows.
"You see, Enma. This Jutsu is a Forbidden Jutsu, and if used, the User and the Target both die. There is no escape." She dangerously whispered. "I planned on using it on him, but again, the voice in my head told me that he was not worth wasting my life over. So, I changed my mind at the last moment and distanced myself from everyone. And I allowed the Village to use me as a Tool all they wanted. Finally, the Hokage decided that I was worth giving a shot, and he sent me to your aunt so that she could help me get rid of my Sensei, who talked to me in my head. You remember the first time you sensed me at the Uzumaki Compound?"
"Yeah..."
"Kushina helped me solve a lot of my problems, and she helped me become better..." Anko trailed off and let go of his manhood as she straddled him. "I served the Hokage for the last five years, in the Anbu Black Ops. And I nearly died twenty-one times in those five years. Whenever he had an impossible mission, he would assign it to me, making good use of the tool that I was..." She leaned in and captured his lips.
She kept kissing him, and Enma froze when he tasted tears in her mouth.
"Now, they all trust me, respect me, fear me." She smiled when their lips separated. "I never had good things in my life, but I finally have you, Karin, and Shizuka. The last few months have been the most fun I have ever had in over a decade. So, don't you dare ruin the good things in my life."
"I..."
"Don't use such stupid Genjutsu again. I nearly lost control, you know..." She dangerously said as she grabbed his neck and squeezed it a little. "If you like dying so much, just ask your Sensei. She will gladly fulfil your request."
"I don't want to die."
"Good." She smiled and kissed him again, and then she licked his cheek and nibbled his left ear, sending shivers up his spine.
"All my life people have used me as a tool, but you are my student. I can trust you. You would never use me as a tool, right?" She asked, whispering close to his ear, and when he shook his head, she planted a kiss on his neck and sat up.
Anko lifted her hips and grabbed his manhood, lining it up against her entrance, and then she sank a little, taking his glans inside of her.
She locked her hands while his hands then, and moved them above his head.
Her eyes stayed on his face as she lowered herself on his length, taking more of him inside of her, and frowning to these new sensations.
She took him in as far as she could and found the feeling quite uncomfortable. It was not as pleasant as she thought it would be.
Enma, on the other hand, was in complete bliss, and he was constantly feeling the pleasure pulsating up his spine.
When his Hebi-sensei started swaying her hips, the pleasure heightened, and he groaned before he gritted his teeth.
He felt embarrassed when he heard her giggle at his reactions, but soon, she was moaning too. Her moans only kept growing louder and louder as their instincts took over and they heartily indulged in the most primal of desires...
