There is going to be a switch in perspectives because the protagonist changes throughout the fiction, but right now the fiction will be told from the point of view of Kakashi Hatake.

Chapter 1- True Princess

Finally! Kurenai, Asuma and I have finally reached the fortress of Orochimaru. We looked in other areas throughout the sound country but all cottages and small houses were empty, which is very peculiar during the spring time. The fortress was guarded by a steal door. Kurenai stepped forward to push the door. The door creaked and made a loud sound. We knew they heard us.

All of us stepped back and held our guard. Suddenly the sounds of footsteps were coming from the direction of the door. I knew it was time. I pulled up my mask and revealed my Sharingan. Then I began to hear the sound of laughter from the door. I listened to the laughter and it was a female's voice. I began thinking my sister and considered it might be her. The woman revealed her face and she is in fact a girl who looks no older than seventeen. Considering that my sister was supposed to be around the age of thirty three, I am certain that it isn't her. She has blue hair tied in the back of her head. She's a beautiful girl.

She began walking towards us. "Well, well, well if it isn't the copy ninja Kakashi Hatake"

"I see that I'm no stranger to you. Tell me is Mai in the fortress of Orochimaru?" I told her

"Don't ask questions yet. Let's get to know each other before I introduce you to other people. My name is Rika Senboshi and I am the successor of the serpent king Orochimaru. You may have heard of me as the Hail Princess. Now introduce yourselves"

The successor? Orochimaru has a successor?

Kurenai stood straight. "My name is Kurenai Yuuhi and this is Asuma Sarutobi and we're ninja of the hidden leaf"

"Lovely! Three skilled leaf shinobis have found our fortress" she was clapping "However this may have been the greatest mistake of your life"

"How are you the successor of Orochimaru?" I was curious. Orochimaru isn't the type of person to pass down his work to an heir.

"Let me introduce myself again. Perhaps I made a bad introduction." Rika smiled "My name is Rika Senboshi, the adoptive daughter of the serpent king. I was adopted when I was in danger in the mist village. He saved me and took me in as his daughter. He was the one who called me the Hail Princess. He is my father, Lord Orochimaru."

I never imagined Orochimaru would have adopted a child. I wonder what's special about her that made her his apprentice.

"Now that we're all done introducing each other" she smirked "I think we should introduce our fighting abilities"

She was asking for a fight so we gave her one.

Kurenai stepped back and began to perform hand signs. Asuma and I attacked her head one. We both went for a punch but when we connected, she turned out to be a water clone.

She easily saw the combo attack we were trying to create. She began to perform hand signs, except she was separating her hands rather than having them joined together. It was weird because I had never encountered something like this.

First she created five water clones. This helped her in three ways. First of all they can be used as a line of defense while she thinks about her next move. Second it can throw off Kurenai's genjutsu since they can easily trick the person casting the illusion. Thirdly the water clones can distract us while she prepares a sneak attack, or calls for reinforcements. Despite three against one, the person who actually had the advantage was her.

Kurenai stopped her jutsu before it could take effect. She knew what game Rika was playing. Asuma and I easily took down all of the clones, but it was too late. By the time we got rid of the water clones a water dragon had already been formed. The water dragon hit us all and then not even a second after the jutsu finished, the water dragon froze, making all of us unable to move. Luckily only my legs and arms were frozen and not my whole body. This was very confusing. Nobody in the world can be fast enough to perform hand signs right after another jutsu. Another thing struck my mind. How was she able to use ice element ninjutsu? She must be a Kekkei Genkai user.

"Kakashi you look puzzled" she was ridiculing me

"How is it you can perform hand signs so fast, and how is it you can use ninjutsu relentlessly and not be knocked out?" I asked her. Asuma and Kurenai were knocked out, they were incased in the ice. If I don't come up with a plan soon

"Let me let you in on a little secret" she smirked "My name is Rika and I descend from the Senboshi clan of the village hidden in the mist. My clan possesses Kekkei Genkai of ice element. The reason I can perform these jutsus is because my clan can perform ninjutsu with only one hand"

I finally understood. "So when you were making hand signs, you were actually performing two jutsus simultaneously. You must have good chakra control and evasion to be able to do that"

"Exactly right! Good thinking Kakashi, but you should give up for now, there is no way you can defeat me. Hehe the great Hail Princess defeats three leaf jonin, amazing isn't it?" she began to laugh hysterically.

I smirked. "You let down your guard…princess"

Her eyes widened as she noticed the Kakashi that had been paralyzed from the ice was actually a shadow clone. I popped up from behind her and kicked in the face. She flew meters before she hit the fortress door. I next used the fireball jutsu to melt the ice. The ice melted and Kurenai and Asuma fell to the ground breathing heavily. I looked behind me and noticed Rika was up, and she was angry.

"You…how dare you…do you know who I am?" she screamed.

Then I felt it. The feeling that I thought I would feel when I found Mai. I felt the feeling of the lightning affinity that runs through the blood of the Hatake clan. Then the fortress door opened. Out came another young girl around the age of thirteen, maybe fourteen. Her hair was down and she had a scar down her eye, just like me. She was pretty, but I felt that she was even stronger than Rika. She had a sinister look on her face.

"You don't have to pretend about who you are anymore Rika" she whispered "I think it's about time that our guests know the truth"

"But my lady" Rika cried

My lady? Why the heck was she talking to a girl younger than her like that?

She turned around to me. "Listen traveler here is the truth. My name is Yoshiko and I am the true successor to Orochimaru. I am the true Serpent Princess!"
