This is my first fanfic ever. This chapter is so short only because I need to know if this fic is worth writing. If it is, then I will try to get in chapters as soon as I can and I will try to make them longer. Yosh! Let's do this!

"I hate sakura"- person speaking

'I hate sakura'- person thinking

Chapter 1: Abandoning a Friend

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Forest of Death-

"You are definitely his brother. If anything your eyes are even keener than Itachi's."

The three young genin had encountered the strange female Grass-nin in the Forest of Death. They had fought and Orochimaru had used a jutsu called the Five-Pronged Seal on Naruto and knocked him unconscious. Sakura threw a kunai and pinned him by his jacket to a tree.

"W-Who are you? What do you want!" Sasuke yelled.

"Kukukukuku. My name is Orochimaru. But as to what I want, that will have to wait until we meet again, which won't happen until you finish this test with the best score of all."

The scroll in the pale-faced shinobi's hand began to burn with green flames.

"The scroll!" cried Sakura.

"First you will have to defeat the hidden sound ninja that serve me," Orochimaru stated.

"What are you talking about! If you're finished then why don't you just leave!"

"But Sasuke and I will meet again." Orochimaru formed a seal and his neck elongated, and shot toward Sasuke. He sank his teeth into Sasuke's neck, and Sasuke screamed in pain.

Sakura screamed, "No! Sasuke!"

Orochimaru withdrew his fangs, leaving a trail of blood and his head returned to his shoulders. A marking consisting of three black tomoe appeared on Sasuke's neck.

"Y-you monster! What have you done to Sasuke!"

"The snake man smirked, "I simply gave him a parting gift. Soon Sasuke will seek me out. He desires my power." Orochimaru began to sink into the wood of the tree branch, his voice fading. "I enjoyed the demonstration of your skills. Kukukukuku." The sannin disappeared entirely.

"Aaaaaargh!" Sasuke screamed for the second time.

"Sasuke!" Sakura ran toward him. "What did he do to you!"

Screaming in pain, Sasuke fell unconscious and slumped in Sakura's arms.

"Naruto! Sasuke's hurt! Get over here now so we can help him!" Sakura called.

Naruto didn't move.

"Naruto your baka! Get up and help Sasuke!"

Naruto still didn't move. Sakura saw that he was unconscious also.

"That baka! If he just did something once in a while we wouldn't be in this mess!" Sakura muttered to herself. "I have to leave him here if Sasuke-kun is going to get medical attention soon!" She ran over to Sasuke, scooped him up in her arms, and dashed off into the trees. The setting sun began to cast shadows over the fallen boy, veiling him in darkness.

A while later, the kunai lost it's grip on the tree bark, sending Naruto down. He landed on a tree branch, and the impact made him wake up. As he recovered from his fall, he saw two figures drop down from the leaves. They both wore similar dark cloaks.

"It seems our little Naruto-kun has decided to take a nap." Said the shorter of the two. His headband depicted a leaf with a gash traveling through it.

Turning, the taller one spoke. The setting sun shone on his hitai-ate (A/N: is that how you spell it?), revealing him to come from the Village Hidden in the Mist and also had a scratch through it. "Should we take him now, Itachi, or wait until he becomes stronger?"

"I think we should capture him now. If we don't, we might miss our chance and he will get too strong for us to bring him back to the base. Leader-sama would not be pleased." They both started walking towards him. The smaller one placed his pale fingers on Naruto's neck.

'Why does he wear nail polish?' was the last thing he could think before he fell back into unconsciousness
