A figure left the alley, deep in thought. He traveled through the market place, into a deserted part of town, and entered a house. Rats ran around on the street, one quickly went inside the house when the door opened. He paced his living room, still in thought, then started to talk to himself. "That Kagome girl seems interesting. I could use her." He then stopped and looked at a dart board that had Danzo's face on it, littered with darts. "And you, you blame me for your plan failing for that Naruto kid. It's your own damn fault!" He said with a glare. "Yes, you might think you've got me under your control, but it's the other way around Danzo! I won't be put on a fucking leash! Especially your leash!"

He then quickly picked up the rat that intruded his home, and squeezed the life from it. It died with a painful 'Squeak!'. "That's what the great Orochimaru will do to you, Danzo! Squeeze you until you pop!" He said, then threw the corpse of the rat outside for his snakes to find.


When Obito and Kagome got back into their new home in the tower, Minato immediately sat them down in front of the Disguise Scroll to study it. "Myself and you especially Obito need to have a disguise. People will recognize us, they don't know Kagome, but it's always good to have a disguise ready." As he said that, he looked at the two teenagers with him. "Now, I talked with Sarutobi. Danzo is pissed his little plan didn't work. He has a lot of stress to deal with, so he agreed to let me be his new assistant. I will be using my disguise. No one will know." Minato started to pace the floor. It was quite for a few minutes before he started to speak again. "We also should pick different names while in the disguise. You'll call me Otani. Also, Sarutobi has to deal with Orochimaru. He's pissed that when I first became Hokage that he wasn't picked. Now he's pissed because when I died, they let Sarutobi come back into office, instead of letting him become Hokage. He's keeping an eye on him. His temper has been weird as of late."

Obito's eyes widened. "You're saying the Sanin Orochimaru want's to be Hokage? Why didn't they let him? Just out of curiosity?"

"He's going crazy." Was Minato's only reply. He then went to tend to Naruto in a side room.

"Ok, I'm going to try this." Kagome explained with some glee. She then touched her forehead and said, "Hide." Her black hair turned a dark brown, instead of it reaching her mid back it shortened to her shoulders and had small curls to it. Her eyes turned a pretty light silver, with dark blue specks inside of them. "How do I look Obi?" She said with a smile, and small twirl.

"You look great Kago. Now let me try." He then put two fingers to his head and said, "Hide." His normally spiky black hair turned purple, but kept the same small spikes. His black eyes turned a dark blue. He grinned at Kagome then asked, "How do I look?" He asked, then to humor her he did a twirl.

Kagome laughed and said, "I think you look more handsome then you did before." Obito immediately looked hurt, but still held laughter in his eyes. "I'm kidding Obi." She said, then walked over to him and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "Reverse", she touched her forehead and changed back into her normal look, then quickly said, "Good night! I had a great date!" Then she walked to her room, and closed the door behind her.

Obito slowly touched his cheek where Kagome had kissed him, and a sloppy grin possessed his face. He heard a cough, and saw Minato standing there with a smirk on his face. He quickly turned red with embarrassment and looked at the ground.

"Don't worry Obito. She's pretty cute, you two will make a cute couple" he said with a laugh.

Obito's already red face turned even redder. Then he thought up a distraction. "What's your disguise look like?" The pink in his cheeks slowly leaving.

Minato nodded, touched his forehead then said "Hide." His long blond spiky hair turned a dark red, with short hair, that looked shaved at the sides. His normally blue eyes were a startling pink.

Obito couldn't help himself, he laughed. A lot. "Pink?" Was all that he could muster out, then would start laughing again.

"Ya well, you've got purple hair, that also looks girly." Was Minato's quick reply, that stopped the teenager mid laugh. "You should get some sleep. Tomorrow will be busy."

Obito nodded, then said, "Reverse" and he went back to looking like his normal self. "Sensei, I have a quick question."

"Yes?"

"If I'm in a disguise, would I still be able to use my Sheringan?"

Minato stood in thought for a few minutes, then finally answered him by saying, "I believe so. All you're doing is changing the outward appearance, it shouldn't change the way you use your abilities."

"That's cool." He said, then grabbed the scroll on his way to his room. "Good night!"

When Obito was in his room he started to pace. 'I'm such a bad ninja.' He thought to himself sadly. 'I can't keep even secrets! It's not even my secret to keep. Kagome has been so understanding, when she shouldn't. I would've felt betrayed if so many people knew something like that of me.' He looked at the scroll in his hands. 'This is a unique scroll, but we shouldn't have so many people to have access to this. This could be bad if someone ill intended wanted to use it.' He looked around and noticed his pack. He decided then what he would do. He's been studying seals more often, to see if he can help out Kagome, and he had an unusual talent for them. He made a seal, then put the scroll in a hidden pouch in his pack. Obito then put the seal on top of the opening of the pouch, and it closed. You couldn't even see a bulge of the scroll that was there. He smiled to himself, then went to bed.


Snakes slithered slowly around Kanoha. They all branched off in different directions in search of this girl their master wanted. It was near daybreak when the small black snake that was searching the Hokage's tower smelled something through it's probing tongue. It signaled it's master through their link, and instantly Orochimaru was there. All he was looking at was a blank wall. He glared down at the black snake. "Such pity. I had such high hopes for you as a tracker." He lifted his foot in an intend to send it to an early death then stopped. He looked at the wall, and stroked his chin thoughtfully. 'Hmmm.' "Release".

Suddenly the blank looking wall disappeared and in its place a door stood. "I've never seen you before." He whispered to himself. He then looked down at the black snake and nodded his head, "Good job. You live." The black snake slithered out down the hallway, to disappear in Konoha until summoned again. He entered the doorway, then had a slight pause, trying to listen for anything, or any movement. 'Nothing.' He silently went about the hidden room. 'This could almost be a house.'

He then heard a small cry, and then a voice that said "hush now." His curiosity set, he quickly surveyed the room that the noise came out of. There holding the Naruto brat that Danzo wanted was a strange looking man. He couldn't tell all of his features, just that he had short red hair. 'That must be who ever that damn Hokage let adopt Naruto.' He silently held his breath while the man turned to look out a window. Orochimaru could tell the man had pink eyes. 'He recognized this man! That's the new assistant to the damn Sarutobi!' He quietly left the doorway, then went to explore some more. 'So, that's how the Hokage will keep an eye on Naruto, and keep him safe. If I could find this, this isn't that safe a place.' He laughed in his head at how stupid Sarutobi was. 'I wouldn't have hidden anyone in this tower.'

He walked to another door then slowly opened it. There is what he wanted! Kagome lay, sleeping on her bed. He silently closed the door behind him. He brought a hollowed out piece of wood to his mouth, then blew. A small needle like projectile flew from it then penetrated Kagome's neck. She woke with a shock. She couldn't move and he breathing slowed. 'Oh my God!' She thought slightly panicking, 'Did I get stung by a bee or something?' As soon as that thought went through her head, she saw black.

Orochimaru was panicking. He did not want a prospective candidate to die! Not like this at least. He wanted to do the dirty work if it didn't work! He saw the med kit on her bed side table and saw a syringe inside with a note: To Kagome. Just in case you get stung by a bee again, here's your antidote.- O He didn't have time to figure out who this "O" was, he just plunged the needle into Kagome's stomach and saw her immediately start breathing easier. 'Well, she's passed out now.' He secured her wrists to her feet, then opened her window dropping her. She landed in the jaws of a large snake that was waiting below. 'Just because one person is allergic to my darts, I'm not going to change it.'

Suddenly before he could jump out the window, the door to the room banged open, and there stood the Hokage, the assistant to the Hokage, an Uchiha and a lot of ANBU. "Orochimaru you're under arrest!"

"The hell I am!" He shouted then jumped out the window onto the back of his snake. He then raised his hand, and brought it down in attack. Unknown people who Orochimaru hired all jumped out and started causing chaos, and attacked the ANBU and ninja that dare try to go after Orochimaru. Orochimaru then left Konoha. One of the greatest ninja, just went missing nin, and sadly it was a Sanin.


Sarutobi was in the office with a headache. A cloaked Obito was there, also a newly appointed ANBU Kakashi. "I demand to go at once to find her!" Obito yelled at the Hokage. "We must save her, who knows what that monster wants with her!"

Sarutobi looked at the disguised Minato for some support, but he looked away. A small voice came out of Minato, "Obito and I do owe her our lives. She gave us a second chance."

"I will write up a mission, Otani, I do need you here. I'll need your help more then ever. With all this distraction, you've also got to keep an eye on Naruto." Sarutobi looked at Obito and said, "You can go, but I don't want you to go alone. He's dangerous!"

"Kakashi here can come with me! He knows about us, well at least me." Minato looked at him in shock, and Obito sheepishly said, "Hot springs."

"Fine then. Kakashi, as your first mission as ANBU you'll escort this young man and help get Kagome. You will try to not directly fight Orochimaru for he is far to strong for you right now."

Kakashi then nodded. He waved his hand at Obito, they then left to get ready for the mission. They didn't know how long it would be, but they would get her back. They left as soon as they could, thirty minutes later.

Minato called out to them, "Be careful and stay safe!" Kakashi and Obito disappeared beyond the tree line.


Oh... the plot thickens...
