Both shinobi were panting and their chest's were heaving..

One was enduring near fatal damage, bleeding heavily from multiple wounds and dealing with broken and dangling arm. The other wasn't in a much better position, starting to succumb to chakra exhaustion. Needless to say that both ninja are worse for wear, but the gap between the two cliffsides where the bridge used to be is the only thing that is stopping them from once again striking at each other with their fighting spirit.

Defending a village requires a level head, but defending your loved ones and those closest to you can lead someone to do some rather miraculous actions. I mean, taking on Orochimaru of the Legendary Sannin isn't exactly the smartest thing that you could do.

But somehow, this lowly ranked chunin was standing his ground albeit he was about to reach his limit.

"I've exhausted his chakra supply... his arm is lifeless and in disarray... so how is he still standing... " grumbled Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was starting to get annoyed that the boy wouldn't just lie down. The snake threw his most lethal techniques at him, but it still wasn't enough! His current body was approaching it's time limit, so in his weakened state he was unable to perform a lot of his jutsu.

"I may be weak, but my power should have been more than enough to kill this leaf scum!"

Neither had made a move since their retreat from one another, but Orochimaru was started to get unsetteled by the boy, never had he seen such a defiant stance in a shinoni before. After every wound that should have killed him, he keeps getting back up...

The white snake's patience was starting to ware thin.

"The fact you are standing after my onslaught is impressive, but that does nothing to change the outcome of this battle!" Orochimaru viscously hissed at the boy.

The boy with blue hair across from him, remained still with his arm continuing to be dangled.

"Are you really so lost in your ideals that you haven't realised you cannot possibly win this fight?" It was less a question, and more of a statement made from Orochimaru to satisfy himself.

Even though this chunin was fighting for his life, he somehow broke into a smile when Orochimaru said that.

"A smile? Now he's mocking me... " thought Orochimaru with a scowl slowly starting to creep across his face.

Followed by a chuckle. And then his mouth opened.

"You're wrong Orochimaru... I can tell that you are almost empty of chakra, and are about to retreat from the fight..." said the heavily breathing boy.

"How is he able to tell how much chakra I have? He seems to have powers that I was not aware of, this will be very dangerous for me if I stay here and continue the fight without assistance from Kabuto and Saskue..."

"It seems I can finally test the limits of how far my beliefs will take me in a fight against evil." he said, before turning his grin flat into a serious gaze. "I'm just going to keep getting back up, I have something you lack that I know will win me this duel... "

Orochimaru began to get curious. He quickly erased that from his mind though once be began to realize that he needed an escape plan, and fast!

"Your power is driven by selfish goals and evil intentions..."

Suddenly, Orochimaru got chills down the back of his spine. The air was rapidly starting to fill with chakra, chakra that coming from the boy opposite him.

"My power is something more than just myself." as he said that, he looked over behind where he was standing, and saw the three unconscious bodies of his squad members.

The ground that was beneath the boy started to shake, and little chunks of dirt started rising from the ground. Orochimaru knew that he had to start moving, but something was keeping him glued to this boy. It was power he had never seen before, comparable to even those of the jinchuriki.

The boy looked back to his opponent.

"My power... comes from the people behind me, the trust that my best friend put in me to stop you from committing anymore devious experiments."

With each passing second, the chakra density around the boy increased, the feeling in the air was somewhat intoxicating to Orochimaru, who just stood there frozen and listened to his speech.

"To repay everything for all the mistakes that you've made over the years and the pain that was caused by your crimes... ". His voice only raised in intensity as he continued to speak. "You hurt my friends, threatened to murder the only remaining family I have left..."

For the first time in his life, Orochimaru felt fear when the boy's eyes looked directly into his own.

"And for all of that... I WILL KILL YOU RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!"

With one final burst of rage, the boy screamed into the sky. His chakra becoming super charged, it was so dense that all the earth around him rapidly rose up from the ground, hiding him from view. Orochimaru continued to stare, amazed by what was happening in front of his eyes.

The scream continued for a minute, before the rubble started to fall, revealing the new form of the boy.

All around his body, his wind and lightning chakra could no longer contain itself inside the boy's body, and gained a jagged blue aura cloak. Electricity cackled around his body, his features becoming slightly more defined.

But one thing remained the same. Those same determined eyes never left Orochimaru's stare.

"I, Raiden Umakata of the Hidden Leaf Village, swear to take you down..."

All the snake could do was watch as the boy finished his transformation.

"W-where did the sudden surge of power come from? He was almost drained a minute ago, now his power seems to increased by cosmological proportions!" thought Orochimaru, with look of fear planted across his face.

"Now... PREPARE TO DIE!" screamed the boy, before launching at his target.

I apologise for the slightly boring and cryptic prologue, but I feel as if I should somewhat introduce the main character at a time when he is somewhat powerful, as to entice interest.

Before you continue reading, I must warn you right off the bat about something. This my first ever full fledged story, so for all the literacy know it alls put there, I am 100% going to make some errors. However, I will not upload a chapter without proof reading and making sure everything is at a point where I feel satisfied in uploading it. I know that it's 2018 and we all starting to move on from shippuden and what not and into Boruto, but I've had this urge to write an OC story for a long time and I feel its time I finally start writing it.

Enough with the rambling, I should start talking about the story now.

If you don't like OC stories, stop right now and go find something else to read. Almost all of the main characters besides Naruto and Yamato are OC, the Konoha 12 and the other leaf shinobi are supporting characters. As a matter of fact, you can forget what I said about Naruto being a main character because he plays more of a supporting role as well (by that I mean that his character isn't getting fleshed out very much, but he does play an extremely important role in the universe of this story much like in the anime and manga, however some things are going to be changed).

There also a couple of other things you must know before reading. I only watch dubbed anime and I've only ever read the Boruto manga, so I don't have a proper understanding of Japanese honorifics, thus I won't be using them and sticking to the dub/English terms. Also, I have only watched up till the end of the Pain Invasion arc, so I do not have a complete understanding of the Naruto universe, though I have done online research and have a vague understanding of what happens. I've planned out what's going to happen in the Part I section of this series, but anything beyond that I have yet to think of, although I do have the end points that I would like the characters to eventually finish as. Depending on how enthusiastic I am, I actually have an interest in continuing this series into the new age (Boruto saga), but that's not going to be for a long while.

First 'proper' chapter shall be uploaded within a week or two.
