Hebi Apprentice
-Alright first time writing a story and thought I'd take a shot at my own challenge here it is.
Blah-Orochimaru thinking
Blah-everyone else thinking
Blah-demon/summon
Blah-talking
In the village of konohagakure the leader of the village, the Hokage sat in his office contemplating on what his student had just requested the pro's and con's and everything in between raced through his aged but wise mind all the while giving his student a hard stare looking for any form of deception.
"And why would you want to take him as an apprentice, with the way you have been lately it's not only hard for me to trust you but for this village to trust you now explain yourself"
"Hokage-sama as I've stated I cannot explain to you the amount of… regret I have for what I have done to this village and my hope now is to rectify that not only by helping this boy become a great shinobi for the village but also showing that I have no wish to become a traitor by doing this I hope to regain at least an ounce of the trust I once held"
"oh sensei if only you knew how much this village has betrayed not only me but that boy and his father as well you would gladly destroy this place all well everything comes in due time kukuku"
The Hokage thought on this, he didn't miss the way that his student practically spat out the word regret but his intentions for the boy had seemed genuine and he showed what he believed to be a true wish to rectify his mistakes and of course the boy would surely benefit from such a pact, Kami knew he owed it to the child
After a few more minutes of silence the Hokage spoke again in a strict even tone
"listen to me well I will give you one chance and one chance only to redeem yourself in the eyes of this village be aware you WILL be under constant watch as well as the child and if you so much as smell of a plot to betray us I will END you MYSELF am I clear Orochimaru, if any harm comes to Naruto you will not see the light of the sun ever again"
"crystal clear Sarutobi-sensei rest assured I will give you a fine shinobi and I can say I only look forward to this opportunity not only to help the boy but the village as well" He bowed and turned to leave.
"Of course I look forward to helping myself as well ...kukuku" he thought as he walked out the door.
As he left the Hokage tower he couldn't help but get a sickening smirk on his face at this momentous opportunity he was just handed.
On the streets of Konoha a young boy walked through alleyways trying to short cut his way to his house it was night now and he was tired and an exhausting day at the academy and his own private training later was everything needed to take all his energy and turn it to mush
"Man 2 years at the academy and I'm still only 5th in the class and I've been trying so damn hard to get better to if only I didn't have to hide my own training… help probably wouldn't hurt either"
The young blonde knew for a while now that for some reason he wasn't allowed to do the same things many other people were allowed to do such as train at a training ground or even shop at a decent store most of the time he couldn't even get help for his training his teachers would either ignore him or just plain say no. He didn't dwell on it though ever since he left the orphanage he had vowed to never let things get to him he told himself that he would always come out on top of any situation he was in and hey it wasn't like he was beaten or anything just well… ignored.
Just as he turned down the last alley his stomach decided to make itself known
"Gurgh"
"Well I guess I have to turn back…damnit why could I just get hungry when I was by ichiraku's" he said to himself.
Just as he was about to turn around a feeling trickled up his spine the kind of feeling that you get when you know someone's watching you. He stopped and took a piece of paper from his pocket and stared at it trying to look like he was reading directions meanwhile he was stealing glances around in all areas trying to find whoever it was .
Orochimaru was slightly surprised with the boy, he had stopped just a few seconds after he had arrived and even though he did an admirable job trying to look as though he was lost Orochimaru knew he was looking for someone watching him, he would have to add chakra sensing to the ever growing list of things he'd have to teach the boy.
"I might as well introduce myself to my new charge" he thought as he jumped down behind the boy
Naruto felt a presence land behind him and he turned throwing a punch as he did so imagine his surprise when he hit nothing but air. He continued looking around until he heard a slick voice come from behind him. "hello Naruto-kun"
The blonde turned around as fast as he could surprised that he didn't feel the presence that time. When he finally saw the owner of the voice he grew slightly scared the person in front of him was a shinobi and a jonin by the looks of it. The man was a tall one with long pitch black hair he wore a standard jonin outfit of Konoha the long sleeved black shirt and matching pants with black sandals but instead of the normal green flack vest he had on a tan one the Konoha head band tied around his forehead the man was pale almost to a point where it looked unhealthy but the thing that had Naruto shake a little was the man's eyes serpent like orbs with purple mascara the eyes themselves were yellow with a slit in them like a snake. Naruto could just tell by looking at him that this man was powerful and if he was honest with himself he would admit that he already had formed a bit of respect for the man.
"Who are you I don't like it when people try to sneak up on me"
"kuku trying to put up a tough act, but I can see right through you Naruto-kun"
"My name Naruto-kun is Orochimaru…. But you can call me sensei"
"That name…"
"What do you mean I can call you sensei I already have iruka-sensei I don't think I need another one just yet"
"Oh but Naruto-kun surely you wouldn't want to give up a chance to learn from one of the legendary three" Orochimaru said with a bit of a sing song voice.
"That's where that name is from he's a damn sannin!"
"Why would you a sannin want to train me, if you haven't noticed I'm not the most favored person in the village"
"Naruto-kun I am fully aware of your status in the village but I'll let you in on a little secret…. The reason I want to train you is because I see a great amount of potential in you and I as one to never pass up potential decided it would be not only in the village's , or your, best interest but in mine as well to take the time to train you to become a great shinobi and.."
He took a step closer to the boy and put a hand on his shoulder and looked him in the eye
"As my apprentice I plan to make you into the next Hebi-sage as you would inherit all that I have to teach, all you need to do Naruto-kun is accept" he said trying to sweeten the deal so to speak.
Naruto silently thought on the idea. To become an apprentice to a sannin at only the age of 8 was a great honor and with all the training he would receive he would be able to do just about anything in the future that he wanted and he might even be able to prove to the village that he wasn't someone to be ignored and that he could actually be someone, the more he thought on this the more the answer came to him
"Alright I'll become your apprentice Orochimaru-sensei,… thank you for this" he said happily finally someone could help him achieve what he wanted, to be a great shinobi and to be recognized.
Orochimaru smiled a triumphant smile. He had just gotten a one of a kind student and he couldn't be happier
"That's great to hear Naruto-kun, now I want you to go home and ill find you in the morning your training will start then"
"Hai Orochimaru-sensei" he bowed and turned taking off towards his apartment. Only later would he realize he was still hungry.
Orochimaru smiled again as he saw the boy take off all he could think was how everything was falling into place
"Kukuku Naruto-kun you and I are going to do so many wondrous things in the future I just can't wait to see the villager's faces kukuku"
And with that Orochimaru disappeared into the ground with a wicked smile on his face
