Walking through the streets of Konoha.
Looking at Mirai Uchiha, who was walking ahead without saying a word, Anko Mitarashi finally couldn't help but speak.
"Hey! Where are you taking me?"
Mirai Uchiha, without turning, said: "First, my name is not 'hey'."
"Second, I already told you, I'm taking you to meet some comrades."
Anko Mitarashi, perplexed: "Why find me comrades? I have no need for those hypocritical bonds."
Hearing that, Mirai Uchiha stopped and said in a low voice: "Because I don't have time to take care of a brat like you."
"And... those guys have a very nice character, you can try to get along with them."
"Could you not call me a brat? You're barely older than me." Anko complained with discontent, and then asked: "Did that guy, Orochimaru, really ask you to take care of me?"
Mirai Uchiha said indifferently: "If not, what makes you think you have the right to even see me?"
Anko Mitarashi froze.
It seemed it was true. Mirai Uchiha was a hero of the Third Great Ninja War and was now the captain of the Konoha Police Force.
And she was nothing more than a genin freshly graduated from the academy, and her master was the S-Rank rogue ninja of Konoha: Orochimaru.
If it weren't for Orochimaru's request, Mirai Uchiha was certainly not someone she could approach.
Thinking this, Anko asked confusedly: "Since you get along with Orochimaru, why didn't the ANBU arrest you for questioning?"
After Orochimaru's defection, all the people related to him were investigated by the ANBU.
Some were arrested, others killed.
She, being young and having been with Orochimaru for a short time, was quickly released.
A ninja like Mirai Uchiha should have been a priority target, but how could he have come out of this scandal unscathed?
And on top of that, he dared to take her with him so openly...
Seeing Anko's perplexed expression, Mirai Uchiha waved his fist: "The reason is simple."
"Because I'm strong enough."
Hearing such an explanation, Anko was stunned.
Was it for a reason like that?
But, although it sounded absurd, at the same time it seemed to have a strange logic.
Anko clenched her fists and murmured: "If I were also strong enough, would that guy, Orochimaru, have abandoned me?"
Slap!
Mirai Uchiha's palm struck the back of Anko's neck hard: "I'm telling you one more time, Orochimaru didn't abandon you. He just entrusted you to my care."
"So from now on, you're my person. Don't make that face in front of me at your age."
Anko winced in pain.
Damn it, he had hit her again.
But hearing Mirai Uchiha's explanation, Anko's mood improved greatly.
He was right...
If Orochimaru had really abandoned her, there would be no need to entrust her to a warrior as strong as Mirai Uchiha.
The favor of such a person must be something especially valuable, right?
After walking down the street for a while, Anko's eyes suddenly lit up and she said hurriedly: "Mirai-senpai, please wait a moment."
"What's wrong?"
"I want to buy some three-colored dango."
Mirai Uchiha nodded: "Me too."
Anko smiled and agreed: "No problem, it's my treat."
Arriving at the candy store, Anko shouted: "Boss, I want two skewers of three-colored dango!"
Mirai Uchiha stepped forward: "Ten skewers."
The smile on Anko's face disappeared: "Mirai-senpai, aren't ten too many?"
Mirai Uchiha shook his head: "Not at all, I have a good appetite."
"But..."
Just as Anko was about to say something else, the shop owner had already packed the ten dango skewers.
"With pleasure: fifty ryō."
Seeing that Mirai Uchiha had no intention of paying, Anko had no choice but to take out her wallet and, frowning, take out a few coins.
"Come again soon."
Under the smiling gaze of the shop owner, Mirai Uchiha took the dango and left.
Anko followed him with her head down.
Today's expense had gone completely over budget!
But thinking that she could eat a few more dango skewers, Anko felt a little comforted.
"Mmm... as delicious as ever."
Mirai Uchiha and Anko walked and ate. Anko's skewer was quickly finished.
"Mirai-senpai, give me another one."
"Forget it!"
"Why?"
"I'm going to eat nine."
"Why? That's too unfair!"
"Wasn't your initial plan to eat only one, which is why you wanted to buy two?"
"Well, yes, but..."
"So next time you treat, be more generous. Take it as a lesson." Mirai scolded her. "And... girls who eat too many sweets get fat."
Seeing Mirai Uchiha leave without looking back, Anko felt her whole body tremble with anger.
It was too much. Not only did he make her pay, but he only gave her one skewer.
And on top of that, he implied that if she ate too much, she would get fat...
Mirai-senpai's personality was simply detestable.
Please, behave a little like a war hero!
Seeing Anko on the verge of exploding, a slight smile appeared on Mirai Uchiha's lips.
Teasing these little ones from time to time was really nice.
After walking a bit further, the path ahead was suddenly blocked by a crowd.
Dozens of villagers surrounded the entrance of a restaurant, whispering among themselves.
Seeing this, Mirai Uchiha took Anko and approached.
"Some drunk ninjas making a scene again. Ah... these scum are so detestable."
"Exactly, a good restaurant, and they trash it just like that."
"Luckily I ran fast, it almost hit me."
"Why are those guys causing trouble?"
"It seems they ran out of money. The owner wanted them to sign an IOU and they got angry."
"Daring to make such a scene in broad daylight... isn't anyone going to do anything?"
"I just saw some people from the Police Force go in, but it seems they can't do anything about the guys inside."
"What? Then those ninjas must have some important backing. The restaurant owner is in trouble."
Hearing the crowd's discussions, Anko's face filled with indignation: "How detestable! How can there be such bad people!"
"They have so much energy, why don't they go to the battlefield and kill more enemies?"
But even though she said it, she had no intention of getting involved.
After becoming Orochimaru's disciple, the first warning he gave her was "don't meddle in other people's affairs."
So, when faced with this type of situation, her usual choice was to leave quickly.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Mirai-senpai, let's go..."
Just as Anko was preparing to take Mirai Uchiha away, she realized that he had already moved into the crowd.
