Once again my body was being poked and injected with strange chemicals and then observed. I had spent the past year of my life in this test tube full of water, all sorts of chords and needles going into my body at all times. I missed my mother and father so much, I jut wanted to see them again.I could hear them talking, the people outside, they talked mostly about me and my body. They talked about how I was adjusting to the chemicals they were putting in me, and sometimes they talked about the outside. My dream was to one day see the outside again, I only ever got to see the inside of my test tube and the room I was in anymore. I could imagine all the things I would do if I ever got out of here they were all so fun and amazing. I wanted to move and run and play and talk again. That's what kept me going, the dream that I would one day get out of here, the hope that I would be able to get out and see my family and talk to people.

According to the Hokage's Intel, one of Lord Orochimaru's hideouts had been recently found and someone needed to go investigate. Lord third had ordered me to go search through the hideout, and as I approached it I got a strange feeling. It was like I could sense another person in here, but Lord Orochimaru left no survivors, it was a fact. I didn't make sense so I tried to push it away. I entered the hideout and took out my flashlight, I slowly made my way through the damp and humid hideout, taking any evidence or valuable information to the leaf. As I continued toward the back of the hideout the strange feeling became stronger, but I ignored it, I focused on the way my feet squished against the damp ground or the chill that ran down my spine each time I saw the results of his sick, cruel, experiments.

I listened intently as I heard footsteps coming closer and closer, getting louder and louder every few minutes. I shuffled around and nervously moved through the small space in the water I had. I hadn't seen anything but blackness for so long, even if I opened my eyes, all I saw was the darkness. The evil, malicious darkness that surrounded me and filled me to the core, the only thing I ever saw in a world filled with colors and beauty. The footsteps got me excited, but I didn't want to give myself false hope and be disappointed once again. I tried to distract myself from the footsteps and focus on my dreams of the beautiful and magical outside world. There would be other people, and I would be able to talk to them. I would be able to eat real food instead of the mush these tubes put into my stomach once a day. I could jump and sing and dance and go to festivals and all sorts of thing. I could tell the food they fed me was being lesser and lesser in the amounts I was given. I knew that I would die soon if nobody came to rescue me.

I eventually fell upon a locked door near the back of the hideout. It was covered in dust and grime and I could draw patterns if I pulled my fingers across the door. I used one of my kunai to pick the lock of the door and I cautiously opened it. This room was so dark I could almost touch it and move through it as if it was water, the only way I could see was from my flashlight which wasn't much help. The only thing in the tiny room was a large cylinder that seemed to be made of glass. It was coated in a heavy layer of dust so I couldn't see what was inside but what I could see seemed to be a bunch of tubes coming out of the back and connecting to some sort of computer. I curiously approached the cylinder and wiped away some of the dust. I still couldn't see much so I shined my flashlight in and saw what seemed to be a 7 or 8-year-old girl. The tubes and wires all connected to her body in some way, some through her arms or legs, others through her stomach or chest. I gasped at the sight of her and wiped away the rest of the dust so I could get a clear view of her. I didn't know what to do but I eventually decided I would bring her back to Konoha and discuss what to do with her with Lord Hokage.

I heard the footsteps come into my room and I couldn't help but get a little excited. I heard the person swipe their hand across the glass and saw a light shine in at me. The light hurt my eyes even though they were closed but I couldn't move. I thought this might be because I wasn't getting any energy lately. Suddenly I heard the sound of glass shattering and the water in my tube started to pour out. Soon enough it was just me laying on the cold steel surface of the floor. I heard some more glass shattering and soon someone put two fingers on my neck and then picked me up. I was cold with only a thin dress over me, I was covered in that sticky water that now clung to me. I felt my body go up and down, air blow against my skin, all sorts of sounds. I assumed I was moving again, through the air, I was so happy and yet I was so tired, I just wanted to go to sleep, that person had taken out my tubes and I felt so hollow and empty. More than anything though I felt heavy, my body was being pulled to the underworld by some demented monster. I just wanted it all to go away. I felt my body being drug into the mystery of sleep I had always encountered, and let myself drift away into the land of dreams.

I took out a kunai and broke the glass, watching as the slimy, murky water drained and the girl fell to the bottom of the glass cylinder. I broke the glass further and made my way inside so I could check if she was alive or not. I bent down and put two fingers to the top of her neck, touching her cold and clammy skin. I felt her heartbeat on my fingers and picked her up bridal style. She was cold and wet and seemed to be starving by the light weight of her body and visible ribs. I wondered what would happen to her and if anyone would take her in. She would probably end up living like Naruto, he was about the same age as her. What if they were on the same team? What if she wasn't even a ninja and just lived a normal civilian life? I could tell there was something different about her though, Orochimaru had to have her in there for some reason.
I walked into the Konoha hospital and up to the front desk, the secretary looked at me with a stern worried look.
" Please take care of this girl until someone comes back for her", I said. The secretary nodded at me suspiciously but complied.
"Put her in room 309", she said and looked down to some paperwork and started writing. I walked slowly up to the third floor and found room 309, I set the young girl down on the bed and jumped out the window. I headed for the Hokage tower to report to lord third.
"Lord third, all went well at Orochimaru's hideout, but I found someone in there", I explained. The Hokage looked at me curiously, waiting for me to go on." A young girl, about 8 years old, I found her in a glass cylinder full of water and took her back here", I finished.
"Where is she now?", he asked.
"The Konoha hospital, I took her there after I got back", I said.
" I see...you are dismissed", he said. I walked out the door.

I looked over the girl's hospital records with interest. They showed that there were remnants of harmful substances in her body. Her skin seemed to be damaged but was dry and cracked too.
"What do you think happened to her?", I asked to nurse. She was holding a clipboard and had a very concerned look on her face.
"Well, Kakashi said that he found her in a tube of water so that would be the reason her skin is damaged. When humans spend a lot of time in unclean water their skin can start to fall off. She must have only been in the water for a day or two, because the damage isn't to severe", the nurse paused. "She is also very malnutritioned, but that's all we have so far", she answered.

I didn't know what was going on, I felt so refreshed, I was no longer hungry. I felt so heavy though, but I also felt warm, silky, and comfortable. I felt like how I was back in my bed, before Orochimaru took me. Is this what it feels like to be born? Am I dead? I opened my eyes to see a hospital room, white and clean. I heard the door slam open and a young boy with blonde hair ran in with a bucket of paint, then shut the door. He looked through the window and watched as a few doctors and nurses ran through the hall.
