Soo, here we go with the first chapter. Have fun!

Shizuka's Pov.

Silence. I was bored.

My training schedule for today was done and now I was sitting in my room, in Orochimaru's hideout, wondering what to do.

As Orochimaru had promised, he gave me informations about Danzo. But he didn't told me that they were completely useless. It werw only informations about his missions and what units he was in. How his life went and more useless stuff. No information about his Jutsu's or special abilities. The only thing I knew was that he had my brother's eye and with it a part of Shisui's ability.

I was just as smart as at the beginning.

»Shizuka, Master Orochimaru wants to see you,« came Kabuto's voice at my door.

»I'm coming,« I answered, getting up.

Kabuto was Orochimaru's personal assistant. That's what he called himself anyway. Personally, I found the term salvia sucker or lackey better. That's what I thought fit pretty good. He really did everything his master told him to do.

I got up from the bed and went to the door where Kabuto still stood and waited.

»You don't need to go with me all the time. I know where Orochimaru is,« I said, walking past him.

»He asked me to bring you to him,« he just said and followed me.

As we walked, the young man overtook me before stopping in front of one of the doors near the exercise room and knocked.

»Wait here,« he said, after being asked in and went in.

After a brief murmur inside, the door opened and I was allowed to enter.

»Shizuka-chan, it's nice to see you. Have you settled in a bit?« Asked Orochimaru.

»Leave the courtesies. What do you want from me?« I asked.

Because of these useless records, I was not good at talking to him.

The fallen Sannin grinned.

»Ne, why so rude, Shizuka-chan? Is it because you didn't get the information you expected? You never asked me what exactly my records contained, so you should not be angry about that,« he said.

»What do you want?« I asked again.

»You seem to forget who you're standing in. Lord Orochimaru is one of the three legendary Sanin, you should show some more respect,« Kabuto intervened.

»All I see is a sick man sitting in bed in front of me who can't even use Jutsu's. Get better used not to tell me who or whom to respect, Kabuto,« I hissed.

Orochimaru seemed to enjoy our conversation because he was still smiling. That's a pity. I thought I could at least strike him like that.

»Quick-witted as always. The reason why I let you come is quite simple. I want you to travel to Otogakure. There is a girl about your age who has special abilities and is a good Medic-Nin. She has some vials of medicine I need. Bring the medicine and Karin to me. She's easy to spot, she has red hair, wears glasses and she's often very quick-tempered,« the pale man explained.

»Why don't you send your lapdog?« I asked and nodded towards Kabuto, who looked at me angrily.

»I need him here,« Orochimaru retorted.

I thought for a moment. That's how I would at least come out here. For two weeks I was stuck here. Kabuto didn't trust me enough and said it was better, if I would stay in the hideout for the time being. Finally, I nodded.

»Very good. It's already dark outside, so you can leave immediately. Be careful on the way back, some of my men said that Ninja's from Kirigakure are roaming the woods.«

Again I nodded and Kabuto led me back to my room.

»I was against sending you. Who knows what's going on in your head. Maybe you'll turn your back on us and betray us. Uchihas are not very trustworthy,« he said derogatively.

»Good that I'm not interested in your opinion,« I replied.

He was trying to provoke me all the time. It was obvious that he did not like me.

When I arrived in my room, I packed up some trifles and headed off to the exit of the hideout, followed by Kabuto.

»Do not take yourself too much time. Once you're there, get the medicine and Karin, and come back as fast as you can,« he instructed as we reached the exit.

I did not answer. Instead, I breathed the fresh evening air in. It felt really good.

Without turning around again, I disappeared into the woods. Otogakure was a few hours away, so I hurried to get there. Just before sunrise, I came to the entrance of the village.

After explaining to the guards why I was here, they took me through a tunnel system to the village. They explained the way to Karin's whereabouts and I continued on my own.

Actually, it looked like it was in any other village, though the inhabitants looked much less friendly. Their looks were hostile when they looked me over.

What else could I have expected, when Orochimaru was the founder of the village? I would also be in a bad mood if he were the ruler in the village where I would live.

When I arrived at the building I was described, I knocked and waited for the door to open. This happened after a short time and a young red-haired girl stared at me.

She studied me meticulously and adjusted her glasses before she spoke to me.

»What do you want?« she asked.

»Orochimaru has ordered me to bring him some medicine and take you right away,« I returned just as friendly.

I could not imagine that she should be extraordinary. She looked like a weak girl.

»Wait here.«

With that she closed the door and disappeared inside the building again.

After 30 minutes, she came out with a backpack on her back and showed me that she was ready to leave.

»We're hiding in the shadows of the woods,« I informed her as we arrived at the entrance.

»Who are you anyway?« she asked, sounding a bit condescending.

»I'm Uchiha Shizuka and now come,« I retorted and started walking.

»Uchiha, huh? Then you know Uchiha Sasuke, right?« she asked me and blushed a bit.

I rolled my eyes as I heard her high pitched voice. Apparently he also had fangirls outside the village.

I nodded my answer as I jumped to the next branch.

»He protected me in the Chunin exam when I was attacked. He's so cool,« she enthused.

»I think he has the charm of a freezer and now be quiet. I'm not keen to be discovered.«

She grimaced in dismay, but kept her mouth shut.

»I feel some strong chakras in a westerly direction,« she said after three hours of silence.

I stopped and activated my Sharingan just in case. Now I understood what Orochimaru meant when he said Karin had special abilities. She was a strong sensor type.

»They're coming closer,« she whispered.
