Forgotten Memories

"Stupid Granny Tsunade," Naruto Uzumaki grumbled to himself.

He was currently on a solo retrieval mission. He had to find and capture none other than Sasuke Uchiha, his best friend and secret crush. He had requested to take this mission for two months, and had been denied. Now, Naruto had decided not to dwell on finding Sasuke, but to instead train harder to become stronger.

Naruto had to go to Orochimaru's lair in Otogakure to retrieve Sasuke. Naruto had been planning to find his sensei, Jiraya, and train with him, but instead, he had gotten the mission he was currently on.

Naruto looked up from the ground and ahead of him to find that he was in Otogakure. He had lost track of how much time had passed since he left the village, but then noticed it was dark out, meaning he'd been walking to the village for a few hours.

That was fast, he thought. How could I have not noticed I was here?

Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him, and turned around to see nobody behind him. Not even an animal of any kind.

That's weird. I could have sworn someone was behind me! He thought. Maybe I'm just hearing things…?

He turned back around and nearly stepped back. Orochimaru was right in front of him, smirking at him!

"Hello, Naruto-kun. What a pleasant surprise."

"Cut the crap, Orochimaru!" Naruto practically growled out.

"Oh? I suppose you are not in a very good mood, at the time, now are you, Naruto-kun?"

Naruto just ignored him, and almost got passed him. Almost.

Suddenly, Orochimaru appeared in front of him, making hand signs. Naruto's eyes widened at the signs he recognized. Memory erase no jutsu?!

Orochimaru gave out a maniacal laugh and ran at Naruto. Naruto got out of the way, but Orochimaru used his other hand to grab his arm. He grabbed Naruto's head, and Naruto's eyes suddenly turned blank.

"Forget everything, Uzumaki, and join me."

Naruto nodded, not remembering anything from his past…Or himself.

Dun, dun, dun! What will happen next? Will Naruto find Sasuke? What does Orochimaru have planned for Naruto? Why am I asking you these questions? I don't know!!
