Part One, Prologue
~Panic in the Forest~
His heart pounded loudly and quickly, louder and quicker than it had ever pounded before. He knew he just had to find them, he just had to. And as he leaped from tree to tree, he sincerely hoped he would not arrive too late. But the signs were too obvious to ignore especially for one from the Uchiha clan who possessed the crimson Sharingan. However, even with his clan's kekkai genkai, Itachi seemed not to notice the many trees that laid rotting on the forest floor or the many snakes that hissed as they drew their last breath. It was only when he realized the presence of a familiar aura being surrounded by a strange darkness that he realized how critical the situation had become and how wrong he had been.
The Sannin was not after the flower his parents had promised to never let anything happen to but the precious brother he had sworn to protect.

She felt helpless, completely and utterly useless. She could do nothing as Orochimaru sank his fangs into Sasuke's neck. She had been frozen with fear, her eyes wide with shock. It had been a terrible experience for her, and she doubt it was anything less for the Uchiha.
"Sasuke-kun!"
She got off of the ground then, running to his side as Orochimaru's head recoiled back onto his body. She caught her fiancé who fell to the floor, clutching onto his now burning neck. But she could still see the three black tomoe that was placed there instead of a bite mark.
"What is this thing?" she asked of no one in particular, her grip on the wincing Uchiha tightened as his groans grew louder.
But the Sannin answered anyway, chuckling a bit. "Just a little parting gift I left for him… In due time, he'll come seek me out for power."
Sakura whipped her head around, her rosette hair flowing with the breeze as her locks fell out of the weakening ribbon that had held them into a ponytail—tears of fear and frustration decorated her face.
"As if he would!" she screamed.
Her outburst only greatened the man's laughter. "In due time, Kuruizaki-hime…" His laughter began to die out as his form disappeared into the darkness. "In due time…"
