Chapter 1

Orochimaru stared at the Hatake from afar, the brat was training and he was rather impressive. The young Hatake had been training at full speed for about two hours now and hadn't stopped. Orochimaru purposefully unmasked his chakra so the boy would notice him.

"I know you're there," Kakashi yelled loud enough so whoever was watching him could hear.

He was greeted with the sight of the snake sannin and stiffened.

"Orochimaru sama" Kakashi bowed respectfully. Orochimaru smirked, he wanted to badly to mark the young Hatake, but he needed to wait for the right moment. Kakashi stood back up straight noticing something was wrong almost immediately.

"Why, hello there Kakashi," Orochimaru greeted, "What are you doing all the way out here, hm? The Forest of Death is a dangerous place." He sneered.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, but answered nonetheless.

"I can handle it, I'm not a child," Kakashi said with the utmost seriousness. Orochimaru pushed down the urge to laugh at the Hatake. 'Yes' Orochimaru thought. 'He will do perfectly'

"Ah, but Kashi chan," Kakashi visibly flinched at the nickname. Orochimaru took a step forward, "There are other things besides the wildlife and the poisonous plants." Malice coating each and every word as his grin grew wider. Kakashi instinctively stepped back before finding he couldn't his back hitting the tree trunk. He turned to look up at Orochimaru, who was getting closer by the second. Kakashi had to push down his growing anxiety and stared at him straight in the eye.

"What exactly is it that you need Orochimaru sama?" The last Hatake said bravely with a defiant look in his eyes. Oh how Orochimaru loved that look!

"Oh well it's rather simple really. I want you," Orochimaru laughed. Kakashi was taken aback.

Orochimaru quickly made the tiger seal and his neck extended, rather grossly in Kakashi's opinion, towards the young prodigy. Kakashi barely had time to react when sharp fangs sunk into the left side of his neck.

Orochimaru pulled back in seconds, his neck now resting back on his body. Kakashi cried out in pain and clutched the left side of his neck with his right hand. Orochimaru took a second to admire his work before explaining what he just did.

"The hell curse mark," Orochimaru chuckled. "I created it myself, it's good don't you think?" He asked rhetorically to the boy on the floor, curled up in a ball of agony on his side. At that moment Minato arrived rushing over to his little student immediately.

"What happened!?" He yelled when he only just noticed Orochimaru. "You! What did you do to him?" He growled at the Snake Sannin who just gave an amused smirk.

"Not much, I just gave him a little gift," Orochimaru's smirk grew into a rather disturbing smile. "He has at least 12 hours to survive. If little Kashi chan here can't survive that, then...well I'm going to be very disapointed" He gave one last chuckle before leaving Konoha all together, knowing full well he couldn't stay with the events that just transpired.

Oh well he was planning on leaving anyway, having been caught doing illegal experimentations. Of course, he decided to do one last experiment before leaving, and this one should turn out rather...interesting...

Authors Notes!

Hello everyone! This is my first fanfiction so don't expect it to be great. Please tell me any mistakes I made in the reviews (I proof read it like 100 times since the document I work on doesn't have a spell check D: )

This is gonna be a bit weird since Kakashi is going to be around 13-14 (I'm leaning more towards 13. He joined the ANBU then and it might be close after Rin's death so more trauma! Sorry Kakashi)

Annnyywayy back to what else is going on. Minato IS hokage at this point in time (might change that later)

Anko WILL NOT (probably) have a curse mark for plot reasons.

Yes I will bend the logic :D (not really just some little things)

Updates will be weekly, maybe twice a week if I'm not drowning in school work!

Thanks for reading!
