They call her a whore, a slut, or any names that are related to the term "prostitute".

It is offending to any woman, but to Hankai?  She's proud of it because she will kill you with a smile if you say it to her face.

Theoretically, if shinobi lived past the age of 30 or they've been an active jounin for far too long, they've become...eccentric.  She's no different.

She's been living her whole life with two wars and had been a Jounin for 15 years.  If it is described by the heart, then it would be 22 now.  Sadly, she was forced to retire after the Kyuubi attack.  It was a sacrifice she made to save the civilians and it costs both of her legs — the most precious body parts in her life.

Without them, she would never run, use them to kick asses, nor to maneuver them well in bed.  The last part made her weep.  It was essential for her as an infiltrator specialist.

Now she works at the Red Light District, as a Brothel Manager with the house under the name: Nagahori.

It was exceedingly boring.  There's nothing to do but to manage some paperwork or to chastise the women using her fear tactics — instinctively.  She's not fond of unnecessary gossips in the first place when it revolves around herself.  Most of her workers never dared to cross (or double cross) Hankai because of that.  Of course, she's not going to kill them.  They are the only source of entertainment she ever has.

And now, she returned home to Konoha where she can have some peace and qu-

"That brat!"

Hankai frowned as she heard the commotion outside.  She was reading the latest porn for reference since her experiences are little spotty thanks to her aging and mild boredom.  Looks like Manko-chan's lessons will wait for a while.

"Is there something wrong?" Hankai asked as she left her room, after hiding the book into her desk drawers and sealed it.  Her ninja paranoia is getting worse.

"Hai.  There's a commotion in front of the shop and it's the Kyuubi boy." The last sentence made Hankai surprise.  It's not the way how the Landlady spat the word "Kyuubi" in disgust, but "how in the world did a child — orphan — trespass the merchant district?" one.

As far as she knew, children are not allowed to stay in the busy area unless they have a guardian with them.  She is aware that the "Kyuubi boy" has several ANBU bodyguards, but... How the boy was able to escape their surveillance?

Unless they are slacking off...

Hankai almost groans at that part.

Hankai's apartment was the closest to the main gates which turns out to be the first building you'll encounter upon entering the district.  It is tactical and advantageous since she could "greet" the passerby.

For some reason, it is going to bite her in the ass.

And it's not even in a sensual way...

😧😧😧😧😧

It was easy to spot the young Jinchuuriki from his bright hair and loud voice.

To elaborate this, Uzumaki Naruto is wandering around the street while bluntly pointing out the "weird things" around him.  The crowd is too afraid to even reprimand or kicking out the kid.  Or it is because the infamous, retired Jounin level ninja is coming their way.

Hankai strode out of the building with a lit pipe on her hand.  She is assessing the situation and almost groaned as she can felt the anxious chakra of the "anonymous" Anbu grew closer and the Polices' are not far away.

Well, f*** them for doing their jobs lousily.

"Oi, kid!" She shouted as she approached him.

Naruto turned around at the source of the voice and saw a very tall lady in weird clothes and makeup like the ones he saw here.  She even walks weirdly too!

"Who're you?!" He accused and rudely pointing his finger at her.

Hankai frowned, remembering how the boy was raised according to the rumors and terrible Shinobi gossips.  "You're quite a rude little shit, huh?" She 'tsked', shaking her head in disappointment at the kid's actions.

"HEY!!  Whaddya say to me?!" The blond brought his fists up and took on a fighting stance to intimidate her.  In her perspective, he's fucking cute.

She decided to change the subject.  "I said... You shouldn't be here, kid!" She chided, poking him with her pipe.  He took it as an offense and scowled while trying to evade the said weapon.

She sensed the Anbu approaching and she hoped that they'll get here now.  She doesn't know how long she will distract the Jinchuuriki especially in the middle of the crowd.  That kid even tried to get her attention which she gave him a deadpan stare.  The Police wisely let her do the job; know that it is futile to help a very capable (scary) retiree.

Except there is someone bold enough to shout:

"Yeah!  You heard what she said!" That idiot just took a piece of the rice ball and threw it to the kid.

In a flash, Hankai snatched out her pin and flicked it to the flying food in inhuman accuracy.  It exploded in contact, disintegrating it into ashes and smoke before it could even touch the kid.

"I don't like fighting kiddies especially to those harming them." With one step forward and tiny killing intent, the man paled and comically jerked his head around, trying to escape.  It was too late when she added with a chilling smile, "Do I make myself clear?"

"H-Hai!" He squeaked as if he almost fainted when he looked straight to her grey eyes.

What a sissy...  Hankai thought almost shaking her head, watching him run away.  It's going to be problematic if he caused a commotion anyway.

Naruto stared at the tall figure in astonishment and fear.  Not only that she's scary and did cool ninja moves, but she also saved him!  His thoughts were short-lived when those angry masked ninjas jumped into the scene.  Uh oh...

The blond turned around and dashed off to the stunned crowd, but the shinobi is quick and immediately grabbed the boy at the collar of his shirt.

"Get off of me, dattebayo!" He screeched into his assailant's ear as he was lifted up.  The Anbu slung him over his shoulder and hooked his arms over Naruto's legs.  He looks completely unfazed while the kid keeps pounding his fists on his back.

Hankai had missed when the kid gave her an awestruck look before the Anbu took him away.  Her lips twitched up in amusement because he got the guts to fight the Elite Ninja.

It's their problem, not hers.
