These instructor Anko stories have generated way more discussion than I expected when I brought them up, to the point that it's getting to be out of place in this thread, but I'm going to put in my two cents before I drop it. I like them both but personally prefer the more cracky one by Older than Time.
1) I like the crack.
2) My reaction to a lot of the world building by the Raven Sennin in the other one ranges from "I've seen it before" to "WTF does this contribute to the story". As much as I am a fan of One Piece, the repeated references thrown in here tend to fall into the "WTF does this add" column. Likewise the stuff about Naruto and other Uzumaki people having to take medication regularly.
----------
No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
