Karin: hi! It's your ever so lovable Karin-chan here in my debut! ©
Sauske: Then you're not loved.
Karin: what does that mean?
Sauske: It's your debut. No one knows you to love you. Besides, you have a crappy personality.
Karin: (sobbing on Sauske's shoulder) it's all to true! *Sob* *sob* *sob*
Sauske: great, now my shoulders getting soaked. By the way, Dowser Co. doesn't own or is associated to Naruto or any of its affiliates, capisce?

Naruto Uzamaki and the rest of squad 7 were returning from the Land of Waves when it happened, A plain brown bird circled squad 7 and landed on Naruto's shoulder and dropped a letter into his hand. He looked at the letter and his eyes widened.
It said simply this: We are moving on schedule. The Chunin Exams are starting. Greet Doshi's squad at the gates. Suna has joined us. The invasion is near. Konoha is doomed. You shall be rewarded for your work. Long live Orochimaru-sama. Its message was clear, Konoha's death was near. His time as a spy had finally paid off.
Flashback 8 years ago
He sat there on the street beside the orphanage with a kunai plunged into his wrist. He figured any moment now he would die from either the cold or blood loss. He calmly looked up into the overcast night sky. He wondered how much longer he had to live. A white haired boy with glasses stopped by him, his glares turned into a look of shock as he passed.
The white haired boy looked at him uncertain about what he was doing. Finally he spoke. "Hey demon spawn," he said quietly staring at Naruto as he sat there. "What?" was Naruto's sad reply.
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to die."
"Why?"
"Because my life sucks."
"So you're going to kill yourself?"
"Yeah," said Naruto, his mood suddenly becoming angry, "what do you care?"
The boy started muttering to himself.
Finally he spoke. "Kid, drop the kunai."
"Why should… Wait kid?"
"I think it's obvious since your trying to kill yourself that you're not a demon."
Naruto's eyes widened in shock as he let the kunai fall to the ground (which actually made the bleeding worse).
The boy knelt by Naruto and performed medical Ninjutsu to stop the bleeding before he spoke again. "Kid, what's your name?"
"Naruto." was the response.
"Naruto, do you hate Konoha?"
Naruto stopped a moment, was this a trick? He might have pondered it more if he had been subject to more acts of human kindness, but this was a time before he had met Iruka, and he was starving for love, so he responded truthfully.
"Yes, I Hate Konoha! I wish it would go away!"
The white haired boy smiled, this was easier than he thought. "Then join us, Naruto. Help us destroy Konoha!"
"Who… who are you?" asked Naruto uncertainly.
"My name is Kabuto."
End flashback.
Since that day, Naruto had been a spy for Oto, yet now he wondered if it was the right choice. Operation Destroy Konoha was to be initiated soon enough. He knew that the Suna would be there soon and with the Chunin exams approaching, he knew that Konoha's death was imminent.
Sauske looked at the blonde boy with concern. It had been 10 minutes since he had received that letter and he hadn't said a thing since. He didn't even notice that the bird was still on his shoulder. Something was up. "Hey dobe." Sauske started causing Naruto to jump and whirl around to face Sauske. "What teme?" he replied quickly.
"You haven't said anything for the past 10 minutes. Something's seriously wrong."
"Yeah Naruto," Sakura commented. "You haven't said anything at all."
"Sh- shut up!" Naruto shouted causing the bird to squawk at him angrily before flying off. "Can't I be quiet for a few minutes without being interrogated?!"
Sauske was sure something was wrong now. Naruto was hopelessly infatuated with Sakura. He would never shout at her.
"Well excuse me for being concerned!" Sakura shouted angrily.
"No one asked you!" Naruto shot back. "You don't have to fake concern for my sake! I don't want your pity!" Suddenly Sakura punched him in the face. Hard. The impact caused him to drop the letter near a certain silver haired Jonin who picked it up.
What happened next was shocking. Naruto hit Sakura back causing her to fall over. Sauske's eyes widened. This was as un-Naruto-ish as anyone could get. Sakura sat up in an obvious state of shock. Suddenly Naruto felt a hand clamp around the back of his neck forcing him into looking directly at Kakashi.
"You are going to tell us all you know about this." said the Jonin as he held up the letter.
"No way in hell." said Naruto
"Naruto," Kakashi quietly replied "I'm giving you a chance. You can tell us here, were we might be able to help you avoid the gallows, or we'll have to hand you over to the torture and interrogation corps, which will end in your death.
As Naruto visibly paled, Sakura asked "Sensei, what is this about?"
"I believe," Was the Jonin's response, "we may have a traitor in our midst."
"What? Naruto… a traitor…?" asked Sauske, trying to wrap his head around it.
"Yes. This letter makes it abundantly clear. Naruto Uzamaki is a traitor to the Leaf."
"Im-Impossible…" murmured Sakura.
"I have my reasons." Said Naruto quietly.
"So you admit you're a traitor?" the Jonin asked.
"…"
"Well?"
"Yes."
The effect was immediate. Sakura gasped loudly and fainted. Sauske eyes widened and his usual glare at Naruto became a stare. Kakashi looked at Naruto for exactly 2 more seconds before murmuring, "So I was right…"
Naruto was intent on avoiding eye contact at this point.
"Which village do you serve?" Sauske asked softly.
"…"
"Well?"
"See you in hell."
"What?"
Kakashi dropped Naruto as soon as he noticed one thing: he had been making a hand sign. A sudden wave of pain erupted in the Jonin's leg as Naruto's hand made a large scar in it. 'What the… his hand is like a scythe!' he thought shocked. 'What kind of jutsu is this?' wondered Sauske as he tried to, and unsuccessfully, put some distance between him and Naruto.
He felt a huge pain in his chest as Naruto's blade-like hand slashed it. He hit the ground with a thud as blood spurted out like a fountain. Naruto smiled slightly as Sauske hit the ground, but as he turned around, he felt a sharp pain at the base of his skull and it all went black.
To be continued…
