NOTE: Full Chapter Name: Konohagakure -- The Village Hidden in the Leaves
“Lady Tsunade.”
“What is it, Kotetsu?” Tsunade asked, not taking her eyes off the paper on her desk. Tsunade was the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure. She had long blonde hair that was pulled into two ponytails. There was a light purple, diamond shape on her forehead. Tsunade wore a gray, sleeveless, very low-cut, robe under a forest green cloth jacket. She also wore black capri and black heels. Her most notable feature would be her rather big chest, which was mostly left uncovered. She wrote something down with a pencil and looked up, waiting for the guard that was posted outside her door to say something.
“Erianne Yotomajei has… returned,” Kotetsu replied slowly. The shinobi guard had spiky black hair and a cloth wrapped around his nose. He stepped aside a little and Erianne walked in calmly, but looked slightly disheveled. Tsunade frowned, standing up. She walked around to the front of her desk and leaned on it.
“Erianne Yotomajei?” Tsunade repeated. She stared at Erianne, her face calm and somehow at the same time, angry. “Aren’t you working for Orochimaru?”
“No.” Erianne stated in an emotionless tone. “He has betrayed me. I left and I wish to help you.”
“No one leaves Orochimaru and lives,” Tsunade said. “You are lying.”
“I survived, killing every one of his goons that he sent after me,” Erianne replied in the same emotionless tone. Tsunade walked to her seat and sat down. She stared at Erianne for a short while.
“Why have you returned again?”
“Orochimaru…” She said slowly, swallowing the ‘Lord’ that came naturally. “…betrayed me.”
“How did he betray you?” Tsunade asked, unconvinced.
“He… was going to use me-” Erianne began.
“You know very damn well that when you join Orochimaru, you’re going to be used until you can’t be used anymore!” The Hokage interrupted angrily. Erianne patiently waited for her to finish. She continued.
“What I meant was that he was going to sacrifice me for reasons I do not understand. It would have been a pointless death and I had promised to be there until he achieved great power. Allowing myself to die for something that would not give him power… I... I couldn’t let him do that to me! So… I left.”
“So why do you want to help Konoha?” Tsunade asked. “Your story doesn’t give any reason why.”
“I… I’m slowly starting to see the error of my ways.”
“Crap.” Tsunade said shortly, even more unconvinced.
“What I mean is that-” Erianne started to say.
“Take her away,” Tsunade said, averting her gaze to read a document. Erianne was expecting this moment at any time.
“I want to help!” Erianne protested, pulling away from Kotetsu so roughly that he stood back immediately. “I am going to fight until he-!”
“I said…” Tsunade glanced at Kotetsu with a glare. “Take her away.”
“Yes, Lady Tsunade!” Kotetsu said, flinching at her glare. He started to pull Erianne along with him.
“Wait!” Erianne said, pushing Kotetsu away from her. “Why can’t I help!?”
“You left Orochimaru,” Tsunade sighed, annoyed. “No one turns away from Orochimaru. You either don’t join him or you join him — forever.”
“But-!” Erianne started to say. A hand clamped over her mouth. The sudden force made her fall backward into another who had entered the room.
