Konoha side stories: Hinata's time with Anko's clone!

(This is a branch that is canon to the primary branch Admira and I are collaborating on. Events that happen here will tend to happen when the main action is elsewhere. I will work on some chapters, and Admira is welcome to as well, but there is no particular update schedule for it. This particular chapter starts with events happening at around the same time as chapter 20. These chapters are probably going to be a bit shorter than in the main branch.)

"And that's that," Tsunade stated, stamping a form as Hinata stood in front of her in the Hokage's office. "You are officially relieved of active duty as a Konoha Kunoichi, and are moved into the reserve ****. You are expected to continue training of course," Tsunade told Hinata, who nodded. Her new status as Naruto's **** wife, accepted within the village as a whole thanks to Anko's magic, made getting this designation easier. She wouldn't go on missions, other than D Ranks within the village, but would maintain her skills.

"Thank you, Lady Hokage," Hinata bowed respecfully to Tsunade. "I'll be sure to make the most of this."

"Yeah, just don't spend too much time with your new Master," Tsunade snorted, giving Hinata a teasing smirk. "I know he has a lot of stamina, and the ability to make a lot of clones, but you both need to keep training." Hinata went beet red, and quickly exited, Tsunade cackling behind her.

"Heh, and I thought I was a tease," Anko, or rather her magic copy... which for all intents and purposes WAS Anko, snorted as she watched Hinata exit. She got a flat look from Hinata in response. Well, at least as flat as the former hieress could manage while she was still so flustered.

"Well, you are, you just don't have a monopoly on it," Hinata told Anko, who laughed and placed a hand on her ass as they walked out.

"You know you love it," she teased Hinata. "So, enjoying the ironic feeling of freedom?" she then asked Hinata.

"Yes, very much so," Hinata smiled. "So... should we just go home now? I do believe we have a magic clone of Master waiting for us back home..."

"...tempting as it is to go back to there, I was thinking we could be a bit more... proactive," Anko smirked at Hinata.

Hinata blinked, and looked at Anko skeptically. She wasn't sure she liked the mischievous look on the snake genie's face. "...proactive how, exactly?" Hinata asked cautiously. "And proactive about what? ...this isn't going to be humiliating, is it?" she inquired. Okay, now she definitely didn't like the way Anko was cackling.
