Dusk descended, the sun setting in the west.
After seeing the two girls off—
Akira was just about to head home.
But as he passed a corner in a narrow alley—
His expression suddenly changed.
Without hesitation, he shifted to the side.
"Whoosh—"
A black figure shot past like lightning—
Missing him completely.
But the next moment—
She twisted her body sharply—
Her agile form sticking directly onto the wall.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
Two thick snakes shot out—
Like lightning—
Coiling toward Akira.
"Hey, hey, Anko-sis…"
Dodging the vicious snakes swiftly—
Akira's eyelid twitched:
"Are you trying to scare someone to death?"
He looked at her speechlessly.
"Hehe…"
A beautiful figure—
Without any restraint—
Tightly hugged Akira.
Her pretty face rubbed against his—
As she smiled charmingly:
"Akira, little brother—after two years, you've gotten even more handsome…"
"Big sis really missed you!"
Looking at Anko—
Still as passionate as ever—
Akira's mouth twitched helplessly:
"Long time no see, Anko-sis… can you let go of me first?"
"That won't do. What if you run away?"
Anko hugged him tightly.
"Finally, that guy Kurenai isn't around…"
She licked her red lips—
Leaning close to his ear as she smiled:
"How about coming to big sister's place tonight?"
Her tone was full of temptation.
Her flexible tongue—
Even boldly brushed against his ear—
Sending a shiver through him.
In an instant—
Akira grabbed her—
Pinning her against the wall.
Glaring at her fiercely, he said:
"You little temptress—believe it or not, I'll take you right here?"
"Oh my, my Akira has really grown up…"
Anko pressed close to his face—
Her eyes blazing, utterly seductive.
She was extremely bold—
Grabbing his hand without hesitation—
Guiding it herself:
"Big sister's first time… has been saved just for you~"
As she spoke—
She leaned in again—
Nibbling his ear, breathing softly:
"You can do anything you want…"
"Next time!"
Akira nearly lost control.
He quickly grabbed her wandering hand—
Forcefully suppressing the rising heat.
After all—
That girl still had Orochimaru's Cursed Seal of Heaven on her.
Even if something were to happen—
He'd deal with that thing first.
"Have you eaten?"
Looking at Anko, who still refused to let go—
Akira asked helplessly.
"Oh? Akira, are you inviting me to dinner?"
Though she hadn't successfully tempted him—
Anko looked slightly disappointed—
But her eyes still lit up at his words—
Staring at him expectantly.
"If you don't mind, come eat with me."
Akira shrugged.
He never turned away something delivered to his door.
And to be honest—
Aside from her bold personality—
Anko had both looks and figure.
Especially just now—
The feeling in his hands had been quite… springy.
He naturally knew Anko's situation.
As a former disciple of Orochimaru—
Even after Orochimaru defected—
She had been thoroughly investigated—
Cleared of suspicion.
But many ninja still subconsciously kept their distance from her—
Afraid of getting involved.
In Konoha—
Aside from Kurenai—
She had almost no real friends.
So—
The once bright and cheerful girl—
Had gradually become a bit reckless and uninhibited.
A form of subconscious self-protection.
In truth—
She was very sensitive inside.
Because Orochimaru had tampered with her memories—
She mistakenly believed—
She had been abandoned by him.
When in reality—
She had refused to follow him—
And was left behind at a base in the Land of the Sea.
Later—
She was found and brought back by Konoha ninja.
"That's great!"
Anko beamed.
Immediately hooking her arm with his—
Her crescent eyes filled with joy.
...
At home—
Nanako and Xianglin had already prepared a hearty dinner—
Waiting for Akira to return.
Even with Anko joining—
There was more than enough food.
But the moment the door opened—
And they saw Anko clinging to Akira—
Xianglin instantly felt a sense of crisis.
She became inexplicably hostile toward this "shameless" woman.
Anko—
Was completely different from the others.
At the dining table—
Seeing all the delicious food—
Carefree and unrestrained—
She was nothing like young girls like Ino or Tenten.
Nor was she polite with Akira or Nanako.
So much so—
Watching her eat ravenously—
As if trying to devour everything Nanako prepared—
Xianglin's teeth itched in frustration.
Immediately—
She started competing too.
At the table—
Dishes piled high—
Were swept clean by the two of them like a storm.
"..."
Akira and Nanako exchanged glances—
Both speechless.
If Nanako hadn't lived with Tsunade and Akira before—
Knowing they wouldn't let Xianglin go hungry—
She might've really thought—
Xianglin wasn't eating enough outside.
"Haa~ I'm so full…"
Anko patted her slightly rounded belly—
Letting out a satisfied burp—
Smiling brightly:
"Thanks for the meal, Nanako—your cooking is amazing!"
"Not at all, I'm glad you liked it…"
Nanako replied with a gentle smile.
As someone from outside—
Aside from her colleagues at Konoha Hospital—
She didn't have many friends.
So she quite liked someone like Anko—
Who was informal and easygoing.
As she spoke—
She stood up to clean the dishes.
"Hmph…"
Xianglin pouted—
Turning her head away angrily.
"Oh? Little girl…"
Someone as perceptive as Anko—
Of course noticed Xianglin's hostility.
Seeing Nanako busy in the kitchen—
She suddenly stepped forward—
Lifting Xianglin's chin.
Looking down at her—
Who seemed tense like facing a great enemy—
Anko smiled:
"You… like Akira, don't you?"
"I—I don't!!"
Xianglin jumped up—
Her pretty face instantly flushed red.
Her heart pounded wildly—
Not even daring to look at Akira beside her.
"Really?"
Anko's eyes were full of amusement—
As she asked with a teasing smile.
"Alright, stop teasing…"
Seeing Xianglin's face about to steam—
Akira helplessly interrupted Anko—
And directly ushered her out:
"Anko-sis, you should head back!"
If he didn't send her away—
With her thick skin and wandering hands—
She'd probably sneak into his room at midnight.
"Ah~ protecting your little girlfriend already…"
Anko instantly went into full drama mode—
Looking heartbroken:
"You were just calling me sweetly earlier—Akira, you're such a heartless man!"
Xianglin: "..."
Akira: "..."
"Akira——"
