Chapter 1

"Natsuki, where are you?" I heard my name being called. I easily knew who it was, Kabuto. I sighed not bothering to come down from the tree I was resting in. A pair of hands touched my shoulder it was Kabuto and he didn't seem too happy. "Natsuki it's time to go." His voice sounded irritated. I gave a slight nod.

"Lord Orochimaru she's here," Kabuto stated respectfully as usual to the snake like man. He stared at as he always had, with eyes that clearly told you how much of a sadist person he really was. I had remembered when I first met him, I was six years old.

"What a sweet child. So full of energy and potential" Golden amber eyes stared at innocent green ones.

"My name is Natsuki Fukuoka. Who are you?" the man laughed with a grin on his face. He crouched down to be at eye level with the young girl as he watched her throw kunai accurately at her targets. "My name is Orochimaru and how old are you my dear?"

The girl stared at the older man throwing her last kunai to her final target on missing the marker by and inch or two. "Six. I'm six years old" Natsuki answered plainly. Orochimaru looked around before smiling hugely "I was wondering…would you like to come and train with me. I'm sure when you return you'll make your mother and father very proud of your new skills and your progress. What do you say Natsuki-chan?"

The girl smiled "Really! I'm sure this will make father and mother very proud." she replied in a delighted tone. Orochimaru arose from his crouched position and held a slightly paled hand out.

"Shall we get going then?" The girl looked at her house which stood a good deal of distance away then back at Orochimaru a small nod before she took his hand and the two disappeared into the night.

What a naïve child I was. "Natsuki-chan, my dear child" he said in a calm tone as his hand caressed my cheek snapping me back into reality. Yes I hated him but if not for him I would have been dead. I knew what I was wanted for when Kabuto called me, it was the usual time for our sparring match the one he called training and it was. Hours later we had to stop do to my, me being too exhausted to continue our match.

The next morning I suddenly realized it was my birthday when I looked at the calendar that hung from the wall. I was turning twelve today but it didn't really matter I never actually had a 'normal' birthday. Like all my past birthdays the day went normal except when I would pass Orochimaru or Kabuto a get a small smile. Was I missing something here? So far from learning more medical jutsus/techniques with Kabuto to a sparring/training match with Orochimaru everything seemed pretty normal.

It was a sudden mention that Orochimaru had a surprise to tell me that shocked me. Walking into the large dining room of the underground hideout I was greeted by Kabuto who stood by Orochimaru accompanied by Sasori-danna. The red head stared at me with his bored brown eyes as he sat in a chair next to Orochimaru. I slowly sat down because knowingly I could careless if I annoyed Sasori-danna by making him wait. Don't get me wrong I've met the man many times and we do get along fine most of the time just sometimes when I liked pushing his button.

"Brat could you be any slower?" he growled. I shook my head finally as I took my seat.

"Natsuki-chan I'm happy to announce a happy birthday to you, congrats on turning twelve. I have great news for you as well" I looked at Kabuto with a questioning expression. He just smiled. I quickly stared at Sasori-danna when he mumbled a quiet happy birthday as well which shocked me to no end. Regaining my composure again I slowly started to dig into my meal as the man who persuaded me away from my home continued to speak.

"You will no longer be an understudy of mine. Starting tonight you will be a residence in the Leaf Village. To think back in your old home after so long you must be excited" I choked when he spoke those words. Sasori-danna chuckled at my un-ladylike actions.

"Konohagakure are you serious?" He nodded as he handed me a bag with regular supplies/equipment a ninja should normally carry. Kabuto offered me a handful of useful medic Nin supplies and Sasori-danna handed me a beautifully crafted puppet doll with eternal art engraved into the back of it. I smiled small tears threatened to escape my eyes. "Thank you" finishing my meal I got up and turned around making my way to the door so I could go pack just a few more necessities.

"Oh and the purple scroll that I've given you is not to be opened until a day or two after you've settled in. Is that understood?" I nodded as I headed out the door it seemed suspicious just like that time he tricked me into letting him place the cursed seal of heavens on me when I was eight. Damn bastard.

That night I stood before the village entrance. Fear rushed through my veins as I made my way to and through the Uchiha clan's housing grounds. Thankfully I hadn't forgotten where my home was. As I lay in my parent's bed I looked out the window gazing at the full moon with thoughts of my parents and my new life flooding my mind. "Goodnight mother and father." I whisper before drifting into a soundless and dreamless slumber for the night.
