Author's note: Well, this is the first Naruto fic I've written! Yay!
Ok, I know the prologue is short, but you need to read it in order to understand what's going on with the rest of the story. Just so you know, if anything's wrong in this, it's probably because I've only read the mangas 1-6 and 8 and have seen no more than eight episodes of the anime. I rely on wikipedia and my friends for details, so if I'm wrong on something, please just let me know in a review or PM.
Please read, review, and enjoy!

Their Worst Nightmares

Prologue
-------
Orochimaru crouched at the edge of the shadows, looking down upon Konoha village. He smirked, his long tongue coming forth to lick his pale lips. The village was too quiet. Nothing was amiss, nothing at all. There needed to be something going on, just so everyone would remember their places.
Doing a complex series of symbols, Orochimaru touched the tattoo on his arm and was amused when several scrolls appeared before him. Opening them all in a specific sequence, he allowed his chakra to mingle with the powers of the scrolls and to flow into the city, infecting the houses of those he wished to torment. He laughed as a tendril of chakra touched each of his victims' sleeping minds, penetrating their weak defenses and settling among the memories that resided there.
There would be no rest for them tonight.
This was a jutsu of old, one that made the sleeping view their worst fears in vivid detail, driving the victim almost to temporary insanity. He had used this often on foes, always with great success. Tonight, Orochimaru selected only a few as his targets. Just a few ninja would wake up screaming in their beds, but he knew just a few was enough to cause some major trouble.

Author's note: Yes, I know that it would be highly difficult to do what Orochimaru just did. I also know that it would leave the user almost dead. Bear with it. Just accept the fact that he did what he did. I'm not really going to revisit it much. Just accept it and move on.
It's always nice to know what you guys think! Please review!
