Chapter Two

Injection

It has bin at least 3 ½ weeks since Hebi arrived in the Hidden Leaf Village of the fire nation. Hebi was almost fully healed only his ribs and few bite wounds still bothered him, as he sat under a sakura tree on the hospital grounds. But at the Hokage's office Sakura, Naruto and Sai stood in front of the blond female who sat behind the desk.

"What is wrong Hokage-sama?" asked Sai calmly as he looked at the Hokage in worry.

"The new arrive that Sakura's been taking care of is worrying me right now," answered Tsunade as she rested her chin on the back of her folded hands.

"You mean Hebi?" asked Sakura.

"Yes him. His chakra as suddenly came to notice to me. I had no idea he had that kind of power. Sakura I must warn you to be very careful around this boy he isn't human," said Tsunade as she closed her eyes.

"What do you mean?" asked Sakura as she was confused by her sensei's words.

"Hebi isn't fully human. You know the true reason he wears bandages over his eyes?" asked Tsunade as she opened her eyes.

"No I don't your report stated that some kind of acid went into his eyes which injured them," answered Sakura calmly.

"The true reason I used those bandages was to prevent him from hurting anyone. He has a special Kekkei Genkai. I don't know the name of this Kekkei Genkai but I know this strange bloodline can create strong and powerful genjutsu that surpass even the sharingan. The bloodline was said to be from Kohana but it suddenly disappeared before the war," explained Tsunade as her hands started to shake.

"Yeah so what's the point?" asked Naruto.

"That bloodline was originally from Orochimaru's clan which disappeared before the Kyuubi attack," answered Tsunade.

"What," gasped Sakura.

"Yes I have a suspicion this boy might be Orochimaru's child or relative. But I'm not completely sure if he has it or not but his eyes do show that physical appearance of the Kekkei Genkai. Your mission is to keep watch over him and protect him from any ninjas from the sound or the forest ninjas that Sakura informed me where Hebi is from,"
stated the female hokage calmly as she got up from her desk.

"So what should we do if he tried to escape?" asked Sai.

"Fallow him. We cannot bind him to this village since he has not broken any of our laws. He might try to flee to his village, which I have found out is a forest that covers much of the land boarder of the Lightening area. The forest is known for having a strong genjustu around it protecting and hiding it from any outside ninja. But I still haven't figured out how this village breaks the jutsu to get into the village. So my only order is for you three to keep Hebi in your sights and protect him at all cost," ordered Tsunade as she slammed her hand on her desk.

"HAI!" yelled all three and they walked out of the room.

Hebi's POV

Hebi was still sitting under the pink tree except his a large python was wrapped around his chest and it's head rested on his right shoulder.

"So that's what she was planning. She's a quick one I will give her that much but when my team finds me they wont have a chance," whispered Hebi as he rested his head against the tree while the python licking his neck softly which helped healed the bite wounds on Hebi's neck.

"Your right Master. None of these Kohana ninja have a chance against our team," hissed the python smoothly as he pulled away from Hebi's neck and disappeared into a puff of smoke.

"But right now I don't have a chance," muttered Hebi with a sigh as he got to his feet and started towards the back exit.

"So what is your plan?" asked a man a few years older than Hebi with bright short green hair like Hebi's pet snake.

"Don't have one yet Makai," whispered Hebi as he leaned up against a wall of a house and started to braid his hair.

"Would you like me to scout the area for today and tonight and figure out how many guards there are?" asked the snake Makai calmly.

"That would a smart move Makai but don't come back to me until it's completely safe. Since that woman of a Hokage has sent 3 kids to baby-sit me," answered Hebi softly as he closed his eyes.

"Let me do that," muttered Makai as he notice his Master messing up his braid.

"Oh yes thank you Makai," whispered Hebi sleepily as he watched his friend fix his braid and tie it up with a bright crimson red ribbon.

"I'll be back in 4 days and if they still haven't lightened up to you I will use the Cobra attack," smiled Makai as he jumped into the air and disappeared into a puff of white smoke.

"It's too early to get caught. Let's play some hide and seek," chuckled Hebi to himself as he made a hand sign and turned into a young boy around 8 with short black hair and purple eyes. Hebi combed his fingers threw his hair and smiled.

"This will work for now," smiled Hebi as he ran into the crowed streets.

Only minutes after Hebi left Naruto appeared where he was.

"Damn it he's gone already," yelled Naruto as he walked into the crowed streets to look for the snake boy. After a good hour of searching Naruto stopped and went to have lunch at his favorite ramen bar but when he got there a young boy Naruto never seen before sat in his normal seat with 3 bowls of Ramen next to him. The young boy has short black hair and was fast asleep.

"Hey old man," greeted Naruto as he took a seat next to the boy.

"Hey Naruto," greeted the Ramen shop owner.

"Who's the kid?" asked Naruto as he looked at the boy.

"I have no idea he just came in ordered 3 bowls of Ramen paid and then just fell asleep. I wonder where his parents are though," answered the Ramen owner as he started on Naruto's favorite ramen.

"Yeah I wonder," whispered Naruto as he watched the young child sleep. After 45 minutes Naruto was done eating and had paid for his meal.

"Hey Naruto would you take the kid with you and drop him off at the school?" asked the Ramen owner.

"Yeah, Yeah," answered Naruto as he picked the boy up and carried him out piggyback styled. When the boy finally woke up Naruto was only a few minutes from the ninja school.

"Hey you're awake now," greeted Naruto to the kid. When the kid saw Naruto he jumped off his back landed on a nearby building's roof.

"Time to play," laughed the kid as a tornado of smoke surrounded him. When the smoke disappeared Hebi stood there.

"What," growled Naruto as he jumped into the air but Hebi jumped out of the way.

"Let's see if you can catch me," called Hebi as he landed on Naruto's head and used it to jump back into the air again making Naruto fall to the ground face first.
