The Tale of Ely Senju

Chapter 29

Ely POV

A few days had now passed since the ceremony and I was standing in the Hokage's office and, as expected, I had just been given a telling off. 'How can you come up with such a moronic idea? Joining the ANBU. That the old man allowed such a thing to happen. You're far too young.' Oh my, she has a loud organ. My goodness and we're supposed to be related, hallelujah. 'Tsunade, I wanted to join the ANBU. It was my decision and Grandfather Sarutobi understood and accepted it. Please do the same. I want to stay in the ANBU unit.' 'All right, but if you want to leave, please let me know directly.' 'I will.'

I left the Hokage Tower and walked through the streets of Konoha. It was strange that Grandpa Sarutobi was no longer sitting in the office, but Tsunade was now. I'll probably be like this for some time to come. 'Ely, wait for me.' Surprised, I stopped and turned to the voice. 'Hello Sakura.' 'Hey, do you want to get something to eat?' 'I won't say no to that.' Together we walked to the barbecue, where we took a seat at a table. 'Lady Tsunade was able to heal Sasuke.' 'That's good, isn't it?' 'He was so weird. Like he didn't want to see me.' Sakura had a sad look on her face as she spoke those words. 'If you want, I can talk to him.' 'You would do that? Thank you.' 'I'd love to. On a different note, have you considered asking Tsunade if she'd like to train you?' 'I don't think she wants to waste her precious time with me.' 'Oh, Sakura. She won't waste her time. You have an incredible talent with chakra control, and this is something you will need for training. Just give it a try. She can't do more than say no. If she says no, I'll teach you. Okay?' With a smile on her lips, Sakura nodded to me.

After a delicious meal and some interesting and funny conversation, I made my way to the hospital. On the way there, I bumped into Tsunade. 'Tsunade, wait a minute.' 'What's up Ely?' 'There is a kunoichi on Naruto's team who is incredibly talented when it comes to chakra control. She would be an ideal student for you. Please give her a chance.' 'I will.' Tsunade kept walking, most likely to either get drunk or gamble. Well, not my business what she does, but I do feel sorry for Shizune. She has to pay for everything. I could only shake my head at the thought. When I arrived at the hospital, I walked in the direction where Sasuke's room was supposed to be. I walked past Lee's room and took a quick look inside. It breaks my heart to see him like this. I hope Tsunade can help him. There is a small chance of healing, but I firmly believe that he will more than make use of it.

Arriving at the door to Sasuke's room, I opened it and stepped inside. 'Sakura, I don't want to see anyone, that includes you.' 'All right. I didn't realise I suddenly had pink hair.' I'm not going that easily, he can forget it. So, I walked to his bed. 'You really are a ray of sunshine. Tell me, what's your problem, Uchiha?' 'My problem? You're annoying and you're all just holding me back.' 'We're holding you back on what?' 'I need to get stronger and you're all no help.' 'You can only get stronger if you train for it and do something about it. At the moment, all I see is a mucking about kid who isn't happy with himself.' 'Oh, what do you know?' He glared at me angrily. 'I know that getting stronger is hard work. But I also know that there are strong shinobi here in Konoha who can teach you a lot.' 'Tzk.' If I slapped him now, no one would be angry with me, would they?

'I don't need to be told what to do by a girl.' 'Girl? Listen to me carefully, this 'girl' as you so nicely put it, is already a Jonin. How do you think I managed that? Certainly not by sitting sulking in a hospital bed. I've worked hard to get to where I am today. Your attitude really annoys me!'

Sasuke POV

Somehow, she looks cute when she's angry, her hair looks even more fiery than it already does and her eyes have such a dangerous sparkle in them. Oh man, I can't fall in love.
