Uzumaki Menma, Naruto, and Neji fled into the woods to escape the bathhouse owner's "pursuit."
Before the three of them could relax, however, Kurenai Yuhi and Mitaraishi Anko caught them red-handed.
Uzumaki Menma and Naruto's expressions changed drastically when they saw Mitaraishi Anko.
Recently, with no friends to play with, Uzumaki Menma and Naruto had returned to their old ways and started causing trouble all over Konoha.
Unable to endure it any longer, the villagers pooled their money and decided to issue a mission for ninjas to punish Uzumaki Menma and Naruto.
But Genin were no match for Uzumaki Menma and Naruto working together. Instead, they were run circles around by the two.
In the end, the villagers gritted their teeth, threw in more money, and hired two Chunin.
Those two Chunin were Kurenai Yuhi and Mitaraishi Anko.
Uzumaki Menma and Naruto were simply no match for Kurenai Yuhi and Mitaraishi Anko.
Several times while causing trouble, Uzumaki Menma and Naruto had been caught by the two.
Kurenai Yuhi had been quite gentle with them, merely lecturing Uzumaki Menma and Naruto not to pull any more pranks.
But Mitaraishi Anko was different. Whenever she caught them, she gave them a beating, tied them up, and paraded them through Konoha.
That was why Uzumaki Menma and Naruto called Mitaraishi Anko the "Demon Woman."
Mitaraishi Anko locked her arms around Uzumaki Menma and Naruto's necks, a benevolent smile on her face. "What did you two just call me? I didn't hear it clearly. Say it again so I can hear."
Uzumaki Menma and Naruto shuddered and forced out ingratiating smiles. "Big Sister Anko..."
"So you know each other... Then I won't disturb you!"
Seeing that Kurenai Yuhi and Mitaraishi Anko knew Uzumaki Menma and Naruto, Neji prepared to slip away.
But before Neji could take even one step, Mitaraishi Anko grabbed him by the collar and tossed him beside Uzumaki Menma and Naruto.
Mitaraishi Anko put her hands on her hips, an evil smile spreading across her face. "You three little brats have some nerve, huh? You actually dared peep into the women's bath! Menma, Naruto, you two saw me and Big Sister Kurenai in there and still didn't run. Are you two trying to die?"
Uzumaki Menma muttered, "Everyone was naked. How were we supposed to know it was you..."
Naruto muttered in wholehearted agreement, "Exactly... If I'd known, I would've run long ago..."
Kurenai Yuhi and Mitaraishi Anko's cheeks flushed red.
Bang! Bang!
Uzumaki Menma and Naruto each gained a lump on their heads.
Neji knelt on the ground, not daring to move as his eyelids twitched wildly.
No wonder Uzumaki Menma and Naruto called this purple-haired woman the "Demon Woman" the moment they saw her. She was way too violent.
It looked like he was in serious trouble today.
Mitaraishi Anko blew on her fist and said disdainfully, "The parts that can move, start moving."
Hearing that, Uzumaki Menma and Naruto pouted, turned around, lay facedown on the ground, and raised their butts high.
Neji: ???
What was going on?
Why had they suddenly stuck their butts up?
Mitaraishi Anko glanced at Neji. "It's your first time, so you don't know the rules. Just copy them."
Neji's little face flushed crimson. Raising his butt like Uzumaki Menma and Naruto was far too embarrassing.
Mitaraishi Anko said unhappily, "What? You don't want to?"
Uzumaki Menma and Naruto urged him, "Neji, hurry up and do it! If you don't, this Demon Woman won't just beat us up later. She'll tie us up and parade us through the streets!"
Hearing the words "Demon Woman" again, Mitaraishi Anko immediately kicked Uzumaki Menma and Naruto in the butt.
The moment he heard about being paraded through the streets, Neji's heart skipped a beat.
Getting beaten up was one thing.
But if he were paraded through the streets, could he still face anyone afterward?
Imagining himself being marched through the streets of Konoha with a sign around his neck reading, "Pervert Who Peeped into the Women's Bath," made Neji shiver all over.
There would be no way for him to show his face again!
Neji instantly flipped over onto the ground and copied Uzumaki Menma and Naruto, raising his butt high.
Neji pressed his face tightly against the ground.
This was too humiliating~
He would never come out alone with Uzumaki Menma and Naruto again. Nothing good ever came from it!
Mitaraishi Anko said with a feral grin, "Since you're ready, I'll get started. Oh, Big Sister Kurenai, want to give them a few slaps? Menma and Naruto's little butts are nice and plump, and they feel pretty good. This new little brat probably won't be bad either."
Kurenai Yuhi waved her hand and declined. "I'll pass. I still think we should talk to them properly. They should listen."
Hope appeared in Neji's eyes.
What a good person!
Maybe he would not have to get beaten after all.
Uzumaki Menma and Naruto turned their heads and immediately doused Neji's hopes with cold water. "Don't even think about it. Now that the three of us have fallen into the hands of the Demon... Big Sister Anko, there's no way we're leaving without a beating."
Just as Uzumaki Menma and Naruto expected, Mitaraishi Anko said, "Big Sister Kurenai, if lecturing worked, it would've worked the first time we caught these two little brats. Has it?
Graffitiing Hokage Rock, scaring couples in the middle of intimate moments, releasing snakes to frighten people everywhere, shaving bald patches into dogs' fur on the street, setting off smoke bombs all over the place... I can barely count all their pranks anymore. And now they even peeped into the women's bath! Is there anything they wouldn't dare do?"
Neji looked at Uzumaki Menma and Naruto in disbelief. "Just how many outrageous things have you two done while we were away?"
Uzumaki Menma and Naruto scratched their heads sheepishly. "It wasn't that bad. With everyone gone, we could only find our own fun somehow."
"What a sin..."
Neji no longer knew what to say.
Mitaraishi Anko rubbed her hands together and said excitedly, "Then let's begin!"
Smack!
Mitaraishi Anko chose Naruto's butt for the first strike.
Then came Uzumaki Menma, followed by Neji.
Uzumaki Menma, Naruto, and Neji's cries of "Ow!" rose and fell one after another.
Mitaraishi Anko got more and more into it, even finding a rhythm.
After smacking them for what felt like five minutes, Mitaraishi Anko finally stopped reluctantly.
Mitaraishi Anko walked from behind the three of them to stand in front of them and warned, "You three little brats, if I catch you peeping into the women's bath again, hmph hmph, it won't be this simple!"
"Big Sister Kurenai, let's go."
Before leaving, Mitaraishi Anko gave each of their butts another smack, still unsatisfied.
Neji felt as though his butt had gone numb.
And judging from Uzumaki Menma and Naruto's cries of pain, they sounded even worse off than he was. They were probably in about the same state.
However, after Mitaraishi Anko and Kurenai Yuhi left—
Neji stared in a daze as Uzumaki Menma and Naruto got back to their feet as though nothing had happened.
