Konoha Times {OC x Various} Naruto AU

Chapter 51

Tobirama stood to his full height, "What do you know Nami?"

Everyone crowded around Madara and Nami, waiting to hear what she had to say.

When she started to speak Madara raised his hand and struck her face, "A drug using whore doesn't get to speak!"

She was hit hard enough to the point where she fell. She remained silent and held her hand up when the Senju's went to intervene. Hashirama held Madara down with all of his might.

"WHAT IS IT NAMI?" Tobirama's patience was non-existent. The room went silent, enough to hear a pin drop.

"Madara was driving the car. Not Izuna." she said, barely above a whisper. She began to shake uncontrollably. She feared for her life as Madara's eyes were glazed over with a wild, nasty look.

Izuna began to laugh manically, "You said you would help me return, brother. You promised I wouldn't have to hide forever. It's been fifteen years!"

Tobirama met Hashirama's eyes as they realized what they had done. They slowly recounted everything Madara had been allowed to do after the accident. A man who got away with murder and live a life of luxury every day since.

Izuna got up and continued to speak, "You have had every want fulfilled. You have been able to become famous and live among stars! All the meanwhile, you have sent me pennies to live on. What about what I want? I am your brother!"

Hashirama didn't dare to let go of Madara. He was raging.

Fugaku looked to Itachi, "Hashirama, please tell me there is no evidence of the accident."

"There were never any pictures taken to begin with."

"I wash my hands of this. I will have nothing to do with this any further. Madara, Izuna, you have disgraced the family. Come, Itachi."

"Father, we can't do that. This is big enough to destroy all of us."

Fugaku looked to his son, knowing he was right. Obito returned to the room, taking his place next to Itachi and Shisui.

They all stood quiet, realizing the ruin that would befall all of them if this were to come to light.

"An entire family wiped off the face of the earth and you, Madara, made your brother take the fall for it all," Tobirama spoke sternly, "Izuna, how long have you been sober?"

"That sobered me up pretty damn good...well until right now I suppose... and some fun here and there. Right Nami?" Izuna winked at her.

Madara fell to his knees, he looked defeated by Hashirama's unwavering determination to pin him down. Hashirama felt the strength leave Madara's body and let him fall to the floor.

A deep choking sob came from Madara. Nami's heart broke upon seeing such a mighty man fall so low and so hard. The Senju brothers walked over the Uchihas, Fugaku, Itachi, Obito, and Shisui. Izuna lay only feet away, also defeated from his brothers blows. While the men talked, Nami felt awkwardly out of place. She was a fly caught in an expansive web who had struggled for so long, finally giving up and giving herself over to the beasts who own every thread. Her fate seemed to be entirely at the hands of the Senjus and Uchihas.

She turned her back to them all and walked towards the exit. She was going home. She would pack and move far away. Maybe she could find a job as a teacher somewhere. Hopefully none of her future students would have seen the movie where her entire naked body was showcased to the world.

She pulled out her phone to call a cab. As the elevators doors opened, she was shoved in and an arm wrapped around her neck. Madara. A metal object placed to her temple. Her phone fell through the crack of the elevator cab and the floor.

She stood where the elevator could not close. The Senju's and Uchiha's looked at her in horror. Izuna stood to his feet stumbling towards them. The metal at her temple was remove and Madara pointed the gun at Izuna.

"One more step, brother, and I will end you."

Izuna stopped in his tracks as Madara placed the gun back to Nami's temple.

"If I so much as see red and blue lights behind me, I will end her life. Do not follow me, or I will end her life. Do not call me, or I will end her life. When we are safe, I will call you and we can discuss our next moves."

Madara stepped back into the elevator that quickly closed. Itachi felt dread as the elevator seemed to swallow them whole. There was only one elevator to the floor they were on. Itachi knew Madara was headed to the parking garage to get his car. He would try to beat them to it. Itachi made a run for the stairwell, followed by Shisui.

In the elevator, Madara still had his arm around Nami. He whispered in her ear as she stayed cautiously still and quiet, "We will move past this my love. I forgive your weakness for falling into Izuna and Itachi's traps. We will move past this."

In the mirrored wall of the elevator Nami met Madara's eyes. Hers glazed over with fear, his with madness.

Itachi got several floors down and checked the elevators status. It was still two floors below them. Itachi continued to pursue them, Shisui and Obito were close behind him.

Tobirama called a helicopter to the roof's landing pad and ran up the utility stairwell with Hashirama and an inebriated Izuna. Fugaku and Obito started making calls to the mayor and the police station demanding to have other cars kept off the roads and to have police stay away from Madara. Fugaku kept Mayor Hiruzen close in his pocket. Obito would be able to convince Naruto, the Police Chief to follow his orders.
