I stumbled across the path. I could see the large gates of Konoha before me. There was one family I knew I could go to: the Uchihas.

Sasuke had run ahead of me. I could hear him talking to Itachi as I reached the front door. "Train with me today." "Sorry, not today." I watched Itachi do his finger flick to Sasuke's forehead. He stood up and started to leave. I ran up to him, "you should really stop saying that, by the time…" I was never able to finish that sentence. He'd always put his hand on top of my head. He walked off after that.

Sasuke was frozen, his eyes locked with Itachi's before us. I looked down to see their parents dead on the floor. I realized right away what was going on. I reached into my weapon pouch on my right leg and threw a kunai towards Itachi. He dodged it easily but it worked. Sasuke screamed and fell to his knees. It was only a few seconds since we had entered the room and saw Itachi. Hopefully he would be ok. "Why?" I asked, I didn't know when I had started crying. My side had been burning, and the feeling had started to spread somewhat over my body. Itachi continued to stair as us with his cold emotionless eyes. I couldn't take it, I did some hand signs I didn't know I knew and I blasted Itachi and the roof with an intense blast of air. Both the roof and Itachi went flying.

Sasuke and Naruto were stuck in some sort of ice dome fighting some kid in a mask. I couldn't see anything clearly through the fog. I edged forward towards the dome, but was stopped before I could take more than a few steps. The bridge builder barked in my ear, "You need to stay and protect me!" I was stuck on the sidelines while my teammates fought the enemy. I was still able to slowly move closer to the dome and watched as Sasuke realized his Sharingan and used it against the mask guy. Only he sacrificed himself to protect Naruto. Naruto was enraged as some odd red chakra issued from his body and started to crack the dome. He went off to fight the mask guy and the bridge builder finally had enough sense to let me go by Sasuke. He looked to be dead. I started to get angry as the burning sensation returned to my side and started to spread; just like a few years ago.

The man before us was strange. His skin on his face was peeling off. My head was already hurting; it seemed I had known him from somewhere. He spoke up as he was doing some hand signs, "My name is Orochimaru. If you want to see me again, then survive and pass this exam. Of course, defeating my men, the sound ninja trio on the way." My side started to burn, "What the hell are you talking about?! We'd never want to see your face again!" He spoke up again, "Hehe, it won't go that way…" His neck extended as it went towards Sasuke. I couldn't move in time before the enemy bit down between Sasuke's sholder and neck. Right then I remembered what had happened to me, and then I knew what had happened to Sasuke. "Sasuke will seek me," Orochimaru was muttering, "to seek power." A mark appeared were Orochimaru had bit him.

The rain was coming down hard as I finally reached the scene where I felt the huge chakra just moments before. Sasuke was leaning over Naruto, and somehow I knew what he was going to do. "Sasuke stop! Don't!" I called out to him. He just got up and started walking towards the forest, holding his left arm. "Sasuke!" I ran up to him. "Go back," he commanded. I ran ahead of him and stopped in his path, "I'm the same as you, I can go with you!" He had witnessed firsthand how I was like him. "Fine, but I'm not responsible for you," he responded coldly. We walked together into the forest.

It was dark as a girl awoke from unconsciousness. She was in a dark cell deep underground where only candlelight could reach her. Her body ached from sleeping on the hard ground floor. She shook her head to brush away the memories that were dug up in her sleep. The only thing that mattered was the future, or what little she had left of it. Her eyes had finally adjusted as a pale man with long black hair and snake eyes walked into the room.
"I need you one last time Yukino," Orochimaru said as the cell door opened.
