Chapter 9
A Month Later - Elly's POV
I start getting ushered into a room by two stone ninja and I scowl at them. "Hands off, if I didn't like you touching me then, then what makes you think I want to be touched now?" I ask them and they just roll their eyes.
"There is someone who has agreed to help us with information on Madara. In return that we don't arrest her yet." Raikage says and Old Man looks at me as I get ushered in by the Stone ninja and I'm scowling at them.
"Elly." Old Man says and I look at him and I put my hands in my pockets.
"Been a while Old Man." I say and he nods.
"Wait, you mean this is Elly Senju?" Lady Mizukage asks shocked.
"I only agreed to this because Madara is after my ass. That, and I finally want some peace, if you all have a say otherwise against my help, too bad." I say and Tsunade just smirks slightly while the Kazekage looks at me, analyzing me.
"Why are you helping us?" He asks me.
"Because I hate Madara and I'm not going into detail why, he just pissed me off when he joined the Akatsuki." I say and Kazekage nods. "What do want to know about Madara?" I ask them.
"Everything you know." Shikaku says to me and some ninja come to attempt to restrain me so I can't leave, but I scowl at them.
"Hands, off." I say and the ninja back away. I tell them everything I know about him, which is quite a lot.
"She knew more than we thought." Shikaku says shocked.
"Of course I do, ever since he joined the Akatsuki I gathered information on him, before I was captured of course." I say and I brush a part of my bangs out of my face.
"Now what?" Tsunade asks and Raikage looks at me.
"Can she fight?" Kazekage asks.
"I don't trust her, she might go back to the Akatsuki and how do we know she's telling the truth?" Old Man asks annoyed.
"Not like I trust you either Old Man, and if you want to know the truth, I'll let Inoichi into my head and he can confirm it." I say and that surprises Tsunade.
"Why wouldn't you let us in the Leaf?" Tsunade asks me.
I can't believe I have a sister so dumb.
"Because my friends were still alive, you think I'm just gonna rat them out?" I ask her.
"Criminals have a code, you guys abandon each other to save your skins." Old Man says to me and I scowl at him, making everyone look at me surprised.
"And you Old Man? You used to not give a shit about your ninja, you left them to die in the last war." I say to him and he scowls back.
"Ok, don't fight." Tsunade says to us and I cross my arms over my chest.
"I didn't come here to fight with the Kage." I say and Old Man just grumbles.
"Stubborn brat." He mutters and my eye twitches slightly, but I keep myself under control.
"Inoichi, confirm what she says is true about Madara." Tsunade orders him.
"Yes M'lady." He says and I take the wardings down and he places his hand on my head and I just let him do what he does.
"Surprising that she isn't fighting back." Tsunade says to Shikaku who nods in agreement.
"She's telling the truth." Inoichi says stepping back from me.
"See?" I ask Old Man and he just huffs in annoyance.
"She can fight." Raikage says to them.
"I don't trust her." Old Man says annoyed.
"You don't have to, its a waste of breath trying to get you to trust me." I say with a snort of annoyance.
The Kage make their decision and I'm to fight on the front lines with, Kakashi.
I sulk slightly as they say his name.
"Something wrong with our decision?" Tsunade asks me, knowing what I was sulking about.
I put my hands back in my pockets. "No." I reply simply. "I just don't think Kakashi will be too happy about it, for many reasons." I say and he walks in along with the rest of the division leaders.
"Lady Tsunade, why is she here?" Kakashi asks pointing a scowl at me.
I roll my eyes. "See?" I ask Tsunade who laughs at us.
"Just deal with it Elly, unless you want to see me angry." Tsunade says to me.
I raise an eyebrow. "What happened to Cocoa?" I ask and that takes Tsunade and Kakashi by surprise.
"Why?" Tsunade asks me.
"She was my dog and I want to know what happened to her." I say and she sighs.
"She's in the Inuzuka compound, she was under the care of Hana and Tsume." Tsunade says to me.
I frown slightly a sad look flickering in my eyes before it disappears. "That's good, at least she's ok." I say and Tsunade nods while Kakashi eyes me.
"Kakashi, Elly will be in your division to fight." Tsunade says to him.
He tenses. "You trust her?" Kakashi asks Tsunade.
"I wouldn't say trust, otherwise she wouldn't have me in your division." I say and Kakashi points a scowl at me again and I walk to the other side of the room. "ARROGANT!" I yell before I punch through the wall and I jump down into Kakashi's division and I stand with everyone else.
Tsunade's POV
We watch her and I start laughing.
"Did she just point that at me?" Kakashi asks with a sweat drop.
"She thinks village ninja are arrogant." I say to Kakashi. "She's said it multiple times."
"She's a strange one." Darui says looking at the hole with a sweat drop.
Elly's POV
"What's she doing here? She's not even in uniform." A guy whispers.
"ELLY SENJU! GET YOUR ASS BACK UP HERE!" Tsunade yells and the people recognize my name and I jump back up into the room and I stand in the broken wall door I made.
I cross my arms over my chest as I look at them. "Tsunade. Why the hell did you just yell my name so that everyone could hear it?" I ask her, my eye twitching.
"I did? Oh I'm sorry." Tsunade says to me with a smirk.
"Your pushing it Tsunade, I get older sisters are supposed to be annoying, but that's an enemy I don't need." I say to her and she just smiles amused.
"What do you mean by that?" Kazekage asks me.
"I'm a former member of the Akatsuki, I have a bounty over my head because of that and I don't need them going after me during the war." I say to him.
"No, what do you mean by older sisters are supposed to be annoying?" Kazekage asks me.
"Tsunade is my older sister." I say and that shocks everyone but Tsunade, Inoichi, Shikaku and Kakashi.
"WHAT?" Half of them yell and I sweat drop.
"I thought everyone knew this." I say to them.
"Its not like anyone announces it Elly." Tsunade says to me.
"True, because Tsunade's the good one, the Hokage, she's got a good reputation, and I'm the bad one, the 'criminal' with the bad reputation, kinda makes people who knew we were siblings, what the hell went wrong with me." I say and Tsunade nods. "I would answer that, but I won't, y'all should know from the Leaf because you all played a part in it, you too Stone." I say and Old Man just rolls his eyes and grunts in annoyance. "Yeah, yeah, Old Man, your very annoyed with me." I say to him.
"You may not have caused trouble for the village, but you were still trouble." Old Man says to me.
"I was a teenager when I caused trouble, I stopped after 18 because I was bored." I say and he falls.
"How?" Kazekage asks.
"They all expected it." I say and snort. "Why did you call me back up here Tsunade?" I ask her.
"Oh right." Tsunade says with a smirk and I lean against the wall, waiting.
"Your making me wait Tsunade." I say to her.
"I know. Anyways, you'll be partnered with Kakashi, he'll be in charge of his unit, but your not to leave his side unless said by me or Shikaku otherwise." Tsunade says to me and my blood runs cold.
"Princess Tsunade, she doesn't do teams." Old Man says to her.
"No? Well too bad." Tsunade says with a smirk.
I sigh in annoyance as I look at her. "Ya know what? Fine, Tsunade, peachy." I say to her, clearly irritated by the thought of working with someone.
"Anyone think she's being sarcastic?" Kakashi asks annoyed by me.
Me and Kakashi scowl at each other. "Just shut up Kakashi. Your annoyance is unusual for your character." I say to him with a roll of my eyes.
"You shut up." Kakashi says to me.
"Gosh dammit Kakashi, your such a child." I say and everyone watches us fire shots back at each other.
"They're like an old married couple." Tsunade says with a smirk.
"Shut up!" We say to her annoyed and she laughs amused.
"How dare you tell her shut up." Kakashi says to me.
"How dare I? Last I checked I wasn't her subordinate, so how dare you?" I ask him.
Kakashi curses under his breath. "Damn you." Kakashi says to me.
"Kakashi, I'm just smarter than you. So, damn yourself and move on, there's a war to win and if Tsunade over there, decides the two of us have to work together to win, then you'll just have to suck it up and deal with it. One thing I learned in the Akatsuki, to finish the mission, you have to do as your leader orders, otherwise your gonna completely fail and die. I don't think anyone wants to die here." I say to Kakashi and he just looks at me surprised I'd say that.
"You two should call a temporary truce." Tsunade says to us with a smirk.
"That's going a bit too far, don't you think?" Kakashi asks her.
"No she's right, as much as it pains me go admit it, we'll work better with the truce." I say as I scowl at Tsunade who just smirks at me.
"Shake hands to prove it." Tsunade says to us.
"You want me, to touch him, after the past 3 years, of you, Him and Ibiki, doing tortures in my head, to get me to talk? You've gone insane." I say to her.
Raikage growls. "Just do it." Raikage says to us.
I roll my eyes.
Kakashi just grumbles as he holds his hand out to me.
I look at it for a moment before I take his hand my with my own and Tsunade smirks triumphantly, until I slam Kakashi into the ground.
"Bitch! What did you just try to do?" I ask Kakashi annoyed as I rub my hand slightly.
"Elly." Tsunade says to me in a warning tone.
I roll my eyes. "Whatever, the truce was called, for verbal and mostly physical fighting. I was just getting Kakashi's monster grip off my hand since he wouldn't let go and was actually starting to hurt it. So, now, can we start this now? I want to be able to sleep after this war, before I turn one hundred." I say and Raikage nods.
"To your stations." Raikage says to us.
I put my hands in my pockets and I jump back down into the crowd and I hold my necklace with one hand.
Dear Lord, give me strength and wisdom for this battle. Its going to be long, and I am gonna need help trying not to fight with Kakashi.
Everyone breaks out into fights and a few guys try picking a fight with me, but I simply ignore them as I hold on to my cross.
Kazekage stops the fights and starts talking.
I don't listen to much, since I was already gonna help.
We then head out and I mess with the ring on my finger as we run.
Once we get to our station, I put both my hands in my pockets as we wait, clearly bored.
After a long while, reanimations appear along with Zetsu and I kick the scorch girl back into a tree.
"Well, she doesn't seem to need a plan." Kakashi says with a sweat drop.
I do some hand signs and I mutter two words. "Lightning Storm." I mutter and lightning strikes down on our opponents and they turn to paper but reform.
I watch them as they surround me and them I jump at the last second before they attack and they hit each other.
I land a crushing kick and they all turn to paper as I land.
"Huh, they just seem to target me, probably Madara's orders, but he couldn't use the reanimation Jutsu, so, they're is another guy involved, I think Kisame said his name was Kabuto. Does that name a ring a bell to you Kakashi?" I ask him.
"He used to be Orochimaru's subordinate." Kakashi says to me and I nod.
Kakashi, Sakura and Lee fight Haku and Zabuza while I fight Scorch Girl and the other one.
And then, they jump back and summon the rest of the Swordsman of the Mist and unfortunately for me, also Konan.
"Ah shit!" I say annoyed and Kakashi looks over as I look at Konan.
"Uh oh." Kakashi says getting ready to restrain me if he has too.
"Elly." Konan says to me and I look at her sadly. "Sorry." She says and starts attacking me with paper which I effectively dodge. "Why are you with them?" She asks as we fight in Tai-Jutsu.
"We're stopping Madara from destroying the Shinobi world." I say to her and she nods.
"And you would rather be on the opposite side as Madara." Konan says to me.
"Yeah." I say and I nearly land a kick to her but it goes through as she turns to papers.
I get pushed back into another clearing by her attacks and we fight for a long time.
"This is taking too long, Elly, you have to seal me." Konan says to me.
"I know, its just nearly impossible to trap you." I say to her and she nods.
After a little while, the sealing corps makes its way to me, to see me land a Jutsu on her and she fights to keep the papers away.
"Now, seal her now." I say to the sealing corps and Konan looks at me in thanks before she's sealed up. "Thanks." I say and I head back with them and Kakashi looks at me and doesn't see Konan.
I look around at everyone to see they're on edge by me and I just put my hands in my pockets.
"Did she do it?" Kakashi asks the sealing corps.
"She finished her business with her leader and we sealed her, she doesn't seem to want to be any part of our enemy." One says to him.
Kakashi looks at me to see a sad look flicker in and out my eyes.
I look at the sky as a murder passes by.
A murder is a flock of crows.
I raise an eyebrow.
So he's back then, reanimations, I'll kill whoever casted this Jutsu.
"Elly." Kakashi says to me.
"Kakashi." I say back.
"You didn't join their side? You just fought your leader." Kakashi says to me.
"She was so my best friend, not just my leader. But, no, I didn't, the dead are supposed to stay dead, its wrong to use them to win a war." I say and I keep my hands in my pockets.
"Your strange." Kakashi says to me.
"I know." I say and we wait.
