After spotting Kakashi and the others, Chihane wanted to see the results of all the training Itachi had done under Kakashi.
So Chihane found a small tree standing not far from them. From its branches, he could look down over the entire clearing.
Standing in the tree, Chihane immediately spotted Little Anko all by herself.
Little Anko stood off to one side, holding a skewer of glossy three-colored dumplings, eating as she watched Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi fight.
Meanwhile, she kept muttering, "Go, Big Brother Kakashi! Go... munch... munch... Big Brother Kakashi! Beat up this... mmph... munch... munch... bad guy who steals my dumplings... munch... munch...! Teach him... munch... munch... a good lesson! Hmph!!!"
Ever since Orochimaru had entrusted Uchiha Itachi and Little Anko to Chihane, Chihane had taken them around to sample all of Konoha's delicious food.
Uchiha Itachi had gradually gone from arrogantly declaring, How could a ninja like me eat something with so many calories? to Mmm... this is delicious...
That also marked the arrival of Little Anko's doom. Kakashi never ate things like that.
Little Anko, however, was a special case. Chihane had taken her to visit many of his friends, and her cuteness had made her a favorite with everyone.
As a result, anyone who spotted Little Anko on the street would happily buy her a huge pile of snacks, not to mention the generous allowance Orochimaru gave her.
Unlike Little Anko, Uchiha Itachi was a genius born into the Uchiha Clan. He was also the clan head's son and had long since been chosen as the clan's future successor.
So Uchiha Itachi had been taught from childhood that the strong preyed on the weak. He trained desperately every day, all to earn his father's praise.
Little Anko, on the other hand, was perfectly happy
