As Sasuke walked away, he couldn't look back. He needed to complete his dream, his dream of becoming strong enough to destroy his older brother. He could not keep having friends in the ninja world. That would only cause him to become weak. As he walked, through the forest, he dwelled once again on his past. He does not know why his brother would think the way that he did. Then there came an abundance of footsteps from the shrubbery ahead. He was tired, but he knew to keep his defenses up anyway. It was Orochimaru, and along with him was his subordinate, Kabuto Yakashi. "Hey, you're the guy from the Chunin Exams. I should of guessed something was strange about you!", Sasuke exclaimed as they drew near. "Be calm Sasuke, because if you are dealing with me, you have to deal with Kabuto as well". Orochimaru was glaring at Sasuke with a very malevolent stare. "Ha, I'm invited into the fold so easily? What is the catch Orochimaru?", Sasuke said. Kabuto then says, "This is no time for jokes Sasuke. We need to get to Lord Orochimaru's Hideout so that I can have a look at the wounds you sustained in the battle with Naruto. Once you have had your rest, we can get into some training." "Whatever", Sasuke mutters as they approach the edge of the Land of Fire.
Well that is the end of the first chapter of this story, and just as a heads up, in all other chapters Sasuke's dialogue will be bold like this. Orochimaru's dialogue will be in underlined. The rest of the characters will be addressed when they speak as usual. Some will be fictional, and others will be of the series. I will have those listed as the story goes on. If you can review just the first chapter and not the second that will be great.
