Thank you guys so much for all of your reviews! :D
Oh, and fyi:
I AM, in fact, writing on my other stories. I'm sorry that it's taking so long because these last couple of chapters of HP and the RDG and WA, YSC are much longer than normal. Plus, I have five stories in total I'm working on — not to mention all of the one-shots I have to write for people who won polls!
So, I'm sorry that I'm making you guys wait, but I can't do everything, alright?
Anyways.
There will be only two more chapters of this. It is two chapters longer that I originally planned because:
A- I put in the thing about the flamer.
B- I decided to make one last chapter for this.
There will also most likely be a one-shot on the side titled The Extra Letter in which Orochimaru finds a letter still stuck in the scroll.
It kinda makes me sad that this story has 2,000 hits, yet only 240 reviews. :(
Well, please read and review! :)
So, picture this:
Godaime Hokage Tsunade, sitting in her office, doing paperwork like a paperwork demon, drinking tea.
PAPERWORK.
AND TEA.
GREAT KAMI, WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO?
"SHIZUNE!" she yelled, making Chunin and Jonin in nearby rooms wince.
There was a long silence as Tsunade waited impatiently. Her foot tapped. She gripped her tea cup with much more force than necessary, causing it to crack. After a moment, she could hear the faint sound of high-heeled footsteps rushing her way. It took a moment, but the door was finally thrown open. Shizune stood in the doorway, slightly hunched over and breathing heavily.
"Y-yes ma'am?" she asked between gasps for air.
Tsunade glared at her. "Bring the rest of the paperwork!" she growled. "I want this shit done and off my desk today!"
Shizune flinched and bowed hastily. "Yes, milady!"
The dark-haired woman hurried out of her office, tripping over herself many times as she darted down the hallway. Multiple crashes and shouts sounded from wherever Shizune had disappeared to. Heartbeats later, she was hurtling back up stairs and down hallways to Tsunade's office. Of course, she tripped in the doorway and sent a massive stack of papers flying in every which direction.
Tsunade's eyes gleamed as she growled in irritation. Shizune 'eep'ed and was instantly on her hands and knees, frantically grabbing at the fluttering papers falling all around her, hysterical tears in the corners of her eyes. She could practically feel the flames springing from Tsunade's deadly glare.
"Give them here!" the Hokage snapped.
"Y-yes, milady!" Shizune squeaked, appearing to have a panic attack as she began spastically throwing papers at her boss's desk.
Tsunade snatched them as they came to her, furiously stamping her signature on every single one — most of the time nowhere near the line where her signature needed to be. She flew through the paperwork with incredible speed, glowering Black Flames O' Doom at Shizune when there was no more.
"More!" she yelled.
Shizune flinched. "B-but there's no more, Tsunade-sama," she said weakly.
Tsunade glared at her for a second. Then closed her eyes, kicked back, and relaxed.
"Okay, then."
Shizune stared in disbelief at her Hokage. What was this woman?
A knock came at the door. Tsunade opened her eyes and glared at it. "What?" she demanded.
It opened and in stepped a Jonin from the intelligence department. She was tall and pale with black eyes and long dark violet hair pulled into a low ponytail. She carried a gray scroll.
"What is this?" Tsunade asked as the woman handed it to her.
"A letter," she replied simply.
Tsunade smirked.
