Naruto with a few changes, designed, ultimately to create a plausible Sakura Sasuke scenario, as well as... well make the whole thing a little more mature. Warning now, some character are going to die, and I'm not just talking villains.

You know what makes writing these things a whole lot easier? Having all the naruto on my computer.

Now on to the disclaimer.

I'm not the owner of Naruto, Sasuke, or any of their companions, ect.

Not yet anyways...

"My name is Orochimaru. If you wish too see me again get through this exam. In other words, you'll have to defeat my subordinates, the three Sound shinobi." the sinister snake like shinobi intoned, his voice dripping with malice.

"What are you talking about!" Sakura yelled defiantly. She looked over at her stoic raven haired companion in hopes his face would steady her nerves "We never want to see your face again!"

"It doesn't work that way" the man who had named himself Orochimaru said, crossing his hands into a seal, his neck extending grotesquely as his head rocketed towards Uchiha Sasuke, who stood frozen in what Sakura could only assume was shock and disgust. She threw herself in the snake shinobi's path at the last second, pain reeling through her body has his fangs sunk into her neck, marking her. Lower on her back, like magic a tatoolike mark formed. She however, was oblivious to all this, the intense pain forcing her into blackness.

Seeing Sakura fall stiffened his resolve, with lightning haste he delivered a savage series of blow against the neck and head of the serpent, sending him hurtling towards the ground. Sasuke began forming hand seals well before Orochimaru had hit the ground. The traitor sannin was faster, lashing out towards the fallen pink haired girl with a massively elongated arm sending her flying through the air as well. Sasukes fireball illuminated the area, ignited the trees, and most importantly, burned the his foe severely.

Orochimaru could'nt remember that last time he had been this badly injured. Probadly the time he had tried to force is attentions onto Sasuke's older brother. He was out of luck, placing a cursed seal on someone drained you immensely. Instead of leaping from the ground where he lay to take the fight back to the blazing eyed avenger he sank into the cold moist earth, feeling it soothe his burns. There'd be another time. He'd have his vessel later. And the foolish girl who had dared to ruin his plans was probadly dead already, and if not the seal would surely finish her off.

Sasuke didn't wait to see Orochimaru hit the ground. He hurled himself through the air, keeping his limbs close to his body in an effort to catch the unconcious, battered girl before she hit the ground. A mere five feet from the forest floor he caught up, wrapping his arms around her, hoping, praying that he could absorb enough of the impact in his arms to keep both of them alive. The second before they hit he sent a jolt of chakra through his shoulders, to try and strengthen himself. It worked just, stopping his body from shattering on impact. It didn't however keep his arm in his socket. He felt it wrench free, and to his horror the inertia of the fall kept him rolling forward, he pulled Sakura closer to him, determined to absorb most of the damage himself. He landed heavy, brutally, on his dislocated shoulder. With a shudder he heard the crunch and snap of his bones, the tearing of sinew, and saw the gleaming white of his own collarbone sticking through his skin. He still managed a vague sort of a self satisfied smile. She was okay. He slung Sakura over his good arm, and jumped into the trees, determined to find his blonde haired friend.

End Prolouge..
