'Why did it have to happen like this? Why did he have to die?' Anko thought.It had been raining at the Hokage's funeral. Everyone cried that day, even the gods. Anko was at the bar that evening, trying to drink away her pain. "If only I could have stopped him, none of this would have happened." she whispered to herself. "It's not your fault, Anko. You know that." A voice from behind said. Kurenai walked around and sat down at the bar next to Anko. "You're strong, you're one of the strongest konichi in this village, we all know that." Kurenai said in a comforting tone. "But how could you expect to defeat him? He's one of the legendary Sanin. In the end even the Hokage couldn't beat him. You have to stop blaming your-self Anko." Kurenai said in a stern but consoling voice. "I was his student. I should have been able to do something at the very least." Anko said. "Anko, if it hadn't been for you it would have been too late to do anything." Kurenai said, trying to comfort her friend. "I should have been able to kill him!" Anko shouted angrily. The bar became quiet at Anko's shout. Kurenai stood up and grabbed Anko's hand. "Come on Anko, let's go to my place. We can talk there." Kurenai pulled Anko out of the bar and down the road.
