If I spelled Akatsuki wrong, I'm soooo sorry because I just found out how to spell it today...:)
She
walked up to Konoha’s gates and
met
the two ninjas guarding the gates.
“Who are you and
what is your business
here?” One
growled.
“I have to see
the Hokage of this village
immediately.” The
woman murmured.
“Do you have the
proper paperwork?” The other guard asked.
“It’s about the
Iwasawa clan.” She murmured.
One of the guards
gasped. He recognized that name. “Very well,” He let her pass.
She walked quickly
to the Hokage tower. “Sarutobi-sama,” She gasped, finally feeling
her deep wounds.
Sarutobi Azuma
looked at her. It couldn’t be her. She died a long time ago.
She smiled softly.
“Yes Sarutobi, it is I. Izuka Iwasawa.”
“You’re dead.”
He said, not believing what was in front of his face. An Iwasawa,
alive.
She placed the
bundle in his arms. “She is the very last of the Iwasawa clan.
Ellen is my god-daughter. Her parents are dead and I am the only
other survivor of the Iwasawa massacre. And as you can see, I am
dying.” Blood came out of her mouth. She chuckled dryly.
“What do you want
me to do with her?” Sarutobi asked.
“Raise her in
Konoha and let her join the academy to become the best ninja she
could be.”
Sarutobi raised an
eyebrow. The Iwasawa’s were known for the passive members they
brought up.
Izuka
smiled. “Look at her. She is no pacifist.”
Sarutobi
looked at the baby. She cooed and then scowled. He laughed. “She’s
a shinobi in the making already.”
Izuka
nodded, already feeling weak from the blood loss. “She can already
talk perfectly, despite being two months and is potty-trained. Her
first sentence was, ‘Teach me how the toilet works.’”
Sarutobi chuckled.
“Alright Izuka. I’ll do my best.”
Izuka thanked him.
“Make sure she has
plenty of reading
materials.”
He nodded. Seeing
as she was already
crumbling into
dust, he said, “Good-bye
Izuka.”
Iwasawa members
crumbled into dust
when they died and
every trace of them vanished.
Izuka did the same
and he picked up the baby. “Hello Ellen. Why don’t I find you a
home with the Hyuuga’s?”
He disappeared and
reappeared in the Hyuuga’s gates. Walking up to Hiashi Hyuuga, the
clan’s leader, he placed the baby in his arms.
“What’s this?”
Hiashi asked.
“This is the last
Iwasawa living.” Sarutobi told him. “I was hoping you would raise
her until she leaves.”
“Didn’t all the
Iwasawa’s die in the massacre?” He asked questioningly.
“I thought so
too, until Izuka Iwasawa appeared in my office a while ago.”
Sarutobi answered. “SO will you take her or not. If not, I’ll be
taking her to the Uchiha manor.” He knew Hiashi would take her at
the mention of Uchiha’s taking her.
Hiashi’s arms
tightened around the small girl. “No, we’ll take her. Hizashi’s
been wanting another child, so he’ll be glad to raise her.”
Sarutobi looked at
him sharply. “There is one thing you should know about Ellen. She
can be branded with your mark. But if there is one mark on her
besides that, I will take her to the Uchiha’s. Am I understood?”
Hiashi nodded. She
would be marked as soon she was old enough. “How old is she?”
“Two months.”
Ellen said simply. “And I’ll thank you to talk to me because I am
right here.”
Hiashi looked at
her in confusion. “You talk?”
“Well, no shit
Sherlock.” She said sarcastically.
Sarutobi looked at
her. “Mind your manners. This is your new clan’s head.”
Ellen looked down
ashamed. “Sorry. Didn’t know who you were.”
“It’s alright,
just don’t do it again.”
Hiashi said. He
looked where Sarutobi
had been, only to
find him gone. He
looked back at the
baby. “Well, you’re
going to living
with my brother in the
branch house. He
will explain all the rules
and customs of the
Hyuuga’s to you.”
She looked at him
sharply, seriousness
lining her delicate
features. “When will I be marked?” At his incredulous look, she
laughed. “I am not just any baby, Hyuuga’s head. I am no more a
baby than you. I expect to be treated with some respect, unless you
wish to experience the scorn of the Iwasawa clan. I don’t believe
the elders would approve of that much, do you?”
He shook his head.
“You shall be marked at the beginning of tomorrow. Hizashi is just
up ahead. He has a son, Neji, who is about a year ahead of you.”
When Hizashi saw
his older brother coming, he ran up to meet him. “Hello,
Hiashi-sama. What can I do for you?”
He held Ellen out.
“You will be raising the last of the Iwasawa clan. Tomorrow she
will be marked and I expect her to flourish under you care.” He
turned around and left, just as quickly as he came.
Hizashi didn’t
know what he was expecting, but it certainly wasn’t for the baby to
let out a string of cuss words about his older twin brother.
“Stupid mother
fucker,” Ellen let out a string of words that Hizashi would dare
not repeat.
“You can talk,”
Hizashi gasped.
“No. No one ever
told me I could talk.” Ellen said sharply.
He sighed. Hizashi
was so going to have his hands full with this one.
TEN YEARS
LATER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I jumped from roof
top to roof top. “Damn,” I muttered. “Neji is so going to pay
for fucking with my alarm clock.”
Neji dear had
decided to turn off my alarm and make me late for my first day as a
genin.
I made it just in
time to see Naruto and Sasuke almost lip lock until I threw a kunai
and they kissed it instead of each other.
Naruto was about to
start in on the guy
who pushed him, but
Iruka-sensei walked in.
“Listen up
everybody!” He shouted. “It is
time to list the
teams, so shut up.”
Everybody listened
as they wanted to know what teams they were on.
“Team
seven consists of Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and…
Ellen Hyuuga.” Naruto was pouting, Sakura cheering, Sasuke glaring
at me, and I was bored.
I
wanted to barf. Sasuke Uchiha and me on a team? Working together?
I
felt sorry for our team mates and sensei.
…................
However,
I was feeling a lot less sorry every minute sensei was late.
Naruto
was putting an eraser in between the door and frame, making it so
whoever opened the door would get hit with eraser.
'If
that Jounin falls for that, I'll tell the truth for the next days.' I
thought.
He
finally walked in and was hit by the eraser.
You
sure that you're a Jounin?” I mumbled.
He
glared at me. My first impression of you... is that you're all
idiots. Meet me on the roof.” He disappeared.
I
began walking up the building while the others ran for the stairs.
I
looked at our new sensei. Sharigan Kakashi Hatake. Ex-ANBU. He had
been given the Sharigan when his team mate and best friend, Obito
Uchiha was on his death bed..
When
everyone else was up there, he began speaking. “Why don't we
introduce ourselves? I'll go first. My name is Kakashi Hatake. My
likes, my dislikes, um my dreams don't really matter. “He looked at
Naruto. “Go, blondie.”
Naruto
jumped up. “I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I like ramen and I dislike the
three minutes it takes to make the ramen. My dream is to become
Hokage. Believe it!”
Kakashi
sweat-dropped. 'A ramen freak. Great.' “Pinkie.”
Sakura
smiled at Sasuke. “I'm Sakura
Haruno.
I like,” Glance at Sasuke.
“My
adorable Sasuke-kun.” I muttered
so
only the people closest to me could hear.
“I
dislike Naruto and Ellen.” She yelled.
I
grinned.
“My
hobbies,” Glance at Sasuke.
“To
stalk my cuddly Sasuke-kun.” I muttered.
Naruto
turned his laugh into a cough.
“My
dream,” Whadda know, another glance at Sasuke.
“Is
to force my wonderful Sasuke-kun to marry me and have him all to
myself.” Even Kakashi laughed at that.
Somehow
knowing she was the cause of the laughter, she glared at me.
“Anger-management
boy.” Kakashi stated.
Sasuke
looked at me. “Sasuke Uchiha. I like nothing and dislike
everything. My dream is to kill a certain man and revive my clan.”
The
reason he looked at me was because Itachi had been my best friend
before the Uchiha massacre. I had sworn never to speak of the true
reason Itachi had massacred his clan and never would.
Kakashi
was puzzled. Why had Sasuke looked at me when he had spoken. He would
ask the Hokage later. “You girl.”
“Ellen
Hyuuga. I like reading and fighting. I dislike chicken butt, aka
Sasuke Uchiha, and stalker chick, we all know who that is. I also
dislike lazy, perverted sensei;s who enjoy being late. My hobbies are
reading and trapping people in genjutsu that mentally and emotionally
scar them for the rest of their pathetic lives. My dream is to find
Itachi and give him a great big hug.” I drawled, loving the looks
on their faces, especially Sasuke's.
Kakashi
sweat-dropped. 'A ramen freak, a stalker/ fan-girl, a revenge
obsessed Uchiha, and a very sadistic Hyuuga. Joy!' He stood. “Meet
me tomorrow on training ground 7 at five o' clock.” He started to
disappear. “Oh, and don't eat breakfast.”
“Why?”
Sakura asked.
“You'll
puke it up.” He disappeared for
good.
I
rolled my eyes and snickered. The
others
turned to me.
“WTF
was that about?” Sasuke growled.
“Itachi
killed my clan and you want to hug him?”
I
nodded. “Yup. I miss him a lot. He was the only one who listened.
Technically, chicken butt, you owe him and if you don't leave now,
I'll tell your fan club where you sleep.” I grinned.
“You
wouldn't,” His eyes narrowed.
“Try
me,” I smiled. I opened my mouth and screamed, “Sakura, Ino, I
know where Sasuke,” A hand covered my mouth.
“Remove
your hand from my person immediately. I have no qualms about
screaming RAPE or KIDNAP.” I ordered.
“Shut
up,” A very familiar voice said.
“Itachi,”
I gave him a hug. “So how've you been?”
“I'm
fine. Now I need you to tell Sarutobi that I am alive and I need you
to meet with me in two days. I need to introduce you to some of the
Atasuki.”
I
shrugged. “Sure, I'm sure I can make time between torturing your
brother and annoying the hell out of the rest of the village.” I
smiled and then hugged him again. “I've missed you Itachi.”
“I've
missed you too. You still are welcome to come with me.” He offered.
I
shook my head. “I'm still needed here, but I will come with you one
day.”
He
handed me a leafnin headband. “It's my old one. You deserve it more
than I do.”
I
slipped my headband off and tied his on. “Thanks Itachi. You better
go before someone catches you here.”
He
disappeared. As I walked to the Hokage's office, I thought about
things. The Uchiha massacre. The Iwasawa massacre. The soon-to-be
murder of sensei if he didn't stop poking his nose where it didn't
belong.
I
stormed into the Hokage's office, interrupting an argument between
sensei and the Hokage..
Kakashi
had been vying for information
on
me.
He
looked at me. “Why are you here?”
He
asked rudely.
“None
ya.” I spat back. “And if you want
to
know something ask me. Don't go behind my
back,
dumb ass.”
“I
will talk to you later.” Kakashi was dismissed. He hid behind a
door.
“Well,
Iwasawa Ellen,” Sarutobi began. “What's so important that you
interrupt a meeting between you sensei and I?”
Kakashi's
eyes widened. I was an Iwasawa? Iwasawa members were passive members,
not to mention dead. He was even more surprised at what was said
next.
“Itachi
is alive.” I told the Hokage. “Is there anything you want me to
do about it?”
Kakashi
burst in. “If he's alive, he needs to be executed immediately. He
destroyed an entire clan. Well, except for Sasuke.”
I
threw him against the wall. “You know not of which you speak.”
Kakashi
didn't know which to be more surprised about: the fact that a genin
restrained him or that a Hyuuga defended a Uchiha.
“He
killed his family.” He said. “Your new team mate was the only one
he left alive. You should want him dead.”
“We
are all different people.” I said angrily. “Had you known what
known why Itachi killed them, you would understand why I don't want
him dead.”
“Are
you going to tell me?” He asked surprised when I let him go.
“Not
a chance, because you would tell Sasuke. I enjoy tormenting him.” I
said smugly.
Kakashi
looked at the Hokage. “You tell me then.”
Hokage
smiled sheepishly. “I don't actually know.” He pointed at me.
“Only she knows, and she being who and what she is, I believe her.”
Kakashi
was in disbelief. “You go on the word of this child that Itachi
Uchiha isn't dangerous.”
“No,”I
corrected. “Itachi is very very dangerous. He's just not dangerous
to me.”
“And
why not?” Kakashi asked
sarcastically.
“Because
I never gave up on him.” I said
smugly.
“He's
not dangerous to you because you
never
gave up on him?” Kakashi laughed.
Sarutobi
sighed. “Your grave,”.
I
stood up, letting my power fly wildly around me. “He was my best
friend and my only friend. He stayed when no one else did. He never
lied to me. Why would he start now?”
“There's
only one other person who knows why Itachi massacred his clan.”
Hokage told Kakashi.
“Who?”
“The
toad Sannin.” Kakashi grinned. His hero, the maker of the Ichi Ichi
Paradise books. Surely, his hero would tell him.
I
eyed him, knowing what was going through his head. I smirked.
“Unfortunately, Ero-Sannin has strict orders from Itachi that
specify he has to ask Itachi or myself before telling anyone.”
Kakashi
groaned. 'Man, they have everything covered.'
Sarutobi
sighed. “I have important work to do, so you two get out of my
office.”
I
disappeared, while Kakashi walked out the door.
I
reappeared in my room. Walking down, I scared Neji out of his wits.
“Quit
doing that imouto,” He yelled.
“Then
quit messing with my alarm clock, nii-san.” I stuck out my tongue.
Neji
snickered. “Can't promise it.”
I
did a small jutsu and Neji's mouth shut. I smiled evilly at him.
“Sorry Neji dear, I can't hear you.” I snickered.
I
pranced off, Neji trailing behind me. Hizashi was in his study and he
waved as I went by.
The
jutsu wore off at dinner and Neji proceeded to narc on me.
I
was grounded tomorrow and the next
day.
I was to come straight home from training.
“If
I take two more days of punishment,
may
I have the day after tomorrow off?” I asked
solemnly.
“Make
it three,” Neji challenged.
Hizashi
nodded. “Alright, but I hope you won't do anything too illegal.”
'Conversing
with a missing nin who slaughtered everyone in his clan, but Chicken
butt, then meeting with the Atasuki,” I thought. 'Nope, not illegal
at all.' “Of course,” I said aloud.
“Dismissed,”
He waved his hand.
I
ran out of the room, ignoring Neji's protest.
I
went up in my room and began studying copies of the Forbidden
scrolls. I was also working on my flash-step, but I needed a clone to
take my place while I went to Itachi , because I didn't know how long
I would be away.
I
did the hand signs perfectly. A second me popped up and looked at me.
“Hey,”
She waved.
I
threw a sock at her and she poofed. Satisfied, I hid the scroll and
worked on my flash-step until I fell asleep.
I
woke up at four and got dressed. I wore a tank-top with a rose and
jeans with converse.
I
grabbed four apples and ate one on the way.
I
got there and saw the others already there. I tossed my apple core in
the bushes.
I
hit them in the head with an apple each.
“Sensei
said not to eat.” Sakura glared.
“He'll
be late and you'll waste energy you can't spare waiting for him. You
can eat it or not.” I shrugged.
Naruto
chomped on it, while Sasuke eyed
it suspiciously. He took a bite and began
eating.
After
Sasuke began eating, Sakura
deemed
it safe too, so she began to eat it.
I
began to meditate. In my inner world, I
was
sleeping.
Kakashi
was suddenly in my face. “Wake up!” He shouted.
I
slowly opened my eyes and he saw his death. He backed away slowly.
He
began, “The task is to take these three bells from me before noon.
The one who doesn't have a bell will be tied to the stump. If you
fail, you will be sent back to the academy.” He finally noticed I
wasn't listening. I had put my headphones on and was bobbing my head
to MCR.
He
groaned.
“But
sensei,” Sakura said. “Won't we hurt you?”
Okay.
At that I snorted. “You, a WEAK,” Emphasizing the WEAK, “Genin,
hurt that lazy jounin. Plu-ez. What world do you live in?”
She
whirled on me. “You couldn't hurt him, but my Sasuke-kun could.”
“Hn,”
Chicken-butt.
“Unless
you come at me with the intent to kill, you won't be able to get
these bells.” Kakashi spoke.
After
Naruto decided to run at Kakashi, we started.
Kakashi
opened his perverted book. He gave Naruto the pain of 1,000 deaths.
I
stared. That was one super-ass poke. I watched as my team-mates got
captured.
Naruto
fell for a trap and was hung up by his feet.
Sasuke
showed his fire jutsu that the clan was well known for.
Sakura
was trapped in an genjutsu. Then she fainted when she saw Sasuke's
head.
“They
put us on teams for a reason, you three.” I sighed as I helped them
out. “We're supposed to use teamwork.”
Plucking
a few blades of grass, I created
spears.
I looked at them. “You going to help?”
They
nodded while Chicken-butt “HN”ed.
“Sasuke,
I need lots of trip- wires.
Naruto,use
your shadow-clones. Sakura, I need
you
to trap Kakashi in a genjutsu.” I planned.
After
they left, Kakashi appeared. “You are the last one standing. You
going to fight or walk away like a true Iwasawa?” He saw the
spears.
I
grinned ferociously. “Battle on,”.
I
looked at him and and lunged head on. WE battled like this for a few
minutes until I saw the signal for the trip-wires.
I
ran towards them, stopping suddenly. Kakashi was electrocuted by the
trip-wires and dog-piled on by the Naruto clones. Sakura trapped him
in a genjutsu.
I
snatched the bells and handed one to everyone, not keeping one for
myself.
When
Sakura finally released him from the genjutsu, he was dazed.
I
had Sasuke burn up Kakashi's real-life Ichi Ichi Paradise. It was so
worth it, seeing the look on Kakashi's face while he ran off
screaming.
We
grinned. Sasuke smirked.
“Thank
you,” I waved. I went home because I was grounded.
'Maybe
being on a team isn't so bad.' I thought. 'They sure are fun to
torture.'
When
I got home, I packed my bag for the stay with Itachi. I packed a few
weapons because with Itachi around you never know what could happen.
I
went to the Hokage. Unfortunately, he wasn't there, so I left him a
message.
Sarutobi-sama,
I
must go out of the village for a few days. Tell Kakashi a lie or
something, but no one can follow me. There's a clone pretending to
me, so no one suspects anything. I'll see you soon.
Iwasawa-san
After
leaving the note on his desk, I jumped out the window. Not caring who
was watching, I flash-stepped out the gates and made my way to where
Itachi and I agreed to
meet.
Kakashi
watched as his student went out
the
gates. He followed, but lost the chakra
signals
about half-way there. So he searched for
anything.
He
didn't find much. Just animals. He
turned
back dejectedly. 'I’m a go see the
Hokage.'
He thought.
I
smiled. “Take that Ero-sensei.” I continued on to the campsite. I
arrived like thirty minutes later.
“Hello
Itachi.” I greeted happily. “Hello fish man.”
They
whirled around.
“Oh,it's
you.” Itachi said. “Anyone try to follow you?”
I
nodded. “Ero-sensei , but he gave up halfway.”
“Itachi,
who's this and why does she wear the leaf nin headband?” Fish man
said slowly.
“This
is Ellen Iwasawa. She's a ninja of Konoha. And she gives information
when I need it.” He shrugged. “Ellen, this is Kisame.”
“Okay,
fish man.” I waved, a bit hyper. I
turned
to Itachi. “You wanted me to meet the rest
of
the Akatsuki?”
He
nodded. “It will take another five hours
to
reach headquarters. You have water?”
I
rolled my eyes. “Duh.”
He
rolled his eyes right back. “Well, come on. We want to get there
before nightfall, don't we?”
I
began walking. “So Itachi, tell me about the other members.”
“Pein
has lots of piercings. Tobi is like a child, striving for approval.
Sasori is a human puppet. He has incased himself in a body of his own
creation. Deidara uses exploding clay. He has mouths all over his
body. Kabuza takes care of finances. Hidan is some kind of religious
priest who loves to kill. Madara Uchiha is never really seen.”
“So
I might get to see the ancestor of the Uchiha clan? Awesome!” I
cheered.
“Those
are probably the people you will see.” Kisame added. “If you see
anyone else, its either a prisoner, Konan, or Zetsu.”
“Yes
fish man sir.” I saluted Kisame.
He
frowned.
“I
could always call you blue gills.” I offered.
“No
fish man's fine.” He sighed. 'Although I wish you would just call
me Kisame.'
Itachi
looked back at us. “Make no mistake Kisame. She may look like a
little girl, but she has the intelligence of one older than Madara.
That's why she is here with us.”
I
looked at Kisame. “I am a little girl. While I am mature in the
mind, I still have rapid mood swings and I tire much more easily than
I should. So make no mistake, I am a child.”
Kisame
stayed quiet until we reached the headquarters. Once we go there, he
ran off.
Itachi
escorted me inside where everyone was waiting. A boy with a mask
bounded over to us.
“Tobi
wants to say hello.” He said
cheerfully.
“Hi
Tobi.” I said. “I'm Ellen Iwasawa.”
Silence
fell over the rest of them. Finally
a
voice spoke up. “Can't be an Iwasawa. They all
died
like a decade ago.” It was a dude with lots of
piercings.
“Well
Pein,” I began. “If you had paid more attention to the history
lesson, you would have known that an old woman and a baby escaped,
although I'm not sure anyone else knows.”
“It's
not possible. I should know. I mean, I killed them.”
The
room fell silent, not knowing what I would do with this new piece of
information.
Well,
I can tell you what. They certainly didn't expect what I did.
I
ran and hugged him, while singing, 'Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.'
