(A/N) Yes, the dojutsu the Uchiha has are from Naruto and the Four Dojutsu. He will not get the second stage, as I just don't want to deal with that. See that story if you want a full description of the Sutomuburingan and the Soshigan. This will not deal with the second stages, however.

Two days later Orochimaru had instructions written up for the next month, just in case, the Uchiha was stable and healed enough to be moved, even if in a wagon, and the new eyes had taken well.

Orochimaru settled the boy into the wagon and set off for a nearby town. He knew Tsunade would be in that town soon, within the next few days. He was going to wait until Tsunade was sleeping off a bunch of alcohol, then ask her student to heal the boy better. He was hoping to at least get him to a state where it was okay for him to be conscious, and hopefully, get rid of the holes in the Uchiha's leg and side. The Uchiha's clothes had been changed, of course, they were not leaving him in those tatters. He was dressed in basic shinobi clothes, black pants and a long-sleeved shirt, taped at the bottoms. Orochimaru had opted to leave his headband on his head, it didn't really matter whether he was identified as a Konoha nin, as so was Orochimaru.

It went off well, Tsunade went to the house, and crashed, snoring slightly. Shizune sighed and walked outside to get some fresh air and let Tonton, a pet pig, run around for a bit.

"Shizune-san," Orochimaru said, walking out of the shadows.

"O-Orochimaru-san!" Shizune said, jumping slightly. "If you're looking for Tsunade-sama-"

Orochimaru raised a hand. "I am well aware she doesn't heal anymore. I am actually looking for you."

"M-me?" Shizune stuttered. No one ever looked for her, they were always looking for her mentor.

Orochimaru gave a smooth nod. "You can heal, can you not?"

Shizune nodded, switching to her medic mode. "Are you the one injured?"

Orochimaru shook his head, disappearing back into the shadows. "Come with me."

Shizune followed the snake sannin warily. He was Tsunade's old teammate, but it didn't hurt to be careful.

They stopped in a clearing, and Orochimaru pulled aside a curtain on a wagon. There, inside was a boy, sleeping quite soundly. The first thing she noticed was the lack of his left arm. It didn't even have the shoulder left.

"His injuries?" Shizune asked, all medical professional.

"Large chunk of flesh missing from right thigh, and a smaller chunk missing from the right lower side. It appears no organs were touched, thankfully. Left arm is entirely missing. He is recovering from poisoning, and his current eyes are not the ones he was born with. They were transplanted two days ago."

Shizune nodded. "Alright. I'll do what I can. I can't do anything for the arm, but the leg and side should be fine. I should be able to regenerate the missing areas. Is anything infected?"

Orochimaru shook his head. "We were very thorough, no wounds are infected."

Shizune nodded, climbing into the wagon. "I'll work on him. You keep watch."

Orochimaru nodded, shutting the curtain to give Shizune privacy. No need for the entire world to know that he had a friend being healed by Tsunade's apprentice.

It was two hours later when Shizune stumbled out of the wagon. "He's good. The arm has healed perfectly fine, and the leg and side have regrown. If you don't mind, I'm going to crash for the next few hours."

Orochimaru nodded. "I will escort you back. Will he awaken?"

Shizune nodded tiredly. "In another few hours. When he wakes up, please tell me so I may check over him one more time."

Orochimaru nodded again, escorting the barely conscious medic back to the place where Tsunade had crashed. Shizune stumbled inside, calling for Tonton to follow her. She closed the door behind the pig, and Orochimaru smiled slightly.

Three hours later the Uchiha teen woke up, sitting up with a gasp, looking around frantically.

"Calm down," Orochimaru ordered.

The teen's head snapped to Orochimaru, and he stared at the sannin, mismatched green and blue eyes staring into Orochimaru's golden eyes. "Orochimaru? What? What happened?"

"You tell me," Orochimaru said mildly. "I found you at the bottom of a cliff, floating in the Naka River with a missing arm, and a very nearly removed leg."

The teen looked confused. "Wha-what?" Something appreares to register to him, and he scuttled back so his back was pressed to the wall of the wagon. "Why can I see?"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. "I think I should be asking you why I found you with no eyes at the bottom of a cliff."

"I jumped," the teen said shortly.

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. "Well, since you were so kind as to answer my question, I will answer yours. I transplanted eyes into your empty sockets. They are not yours, nor did they belong to an Uchiha."

Orochimaru would say that the teen looked almost relieved, a hand coming up to touch his face near his eyes. "My name is Shisui Uchiha. I'm supposed to be dead."

"I gathered that when you said that you jumped," Orochimaru said mildly. "Care to explain why you felt the need to jump off a cliff with no intention of surviving?"

"Classified," Shisui replied immediately.

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. "Would it deal with the Uchiha coup?"

Shisui blinked at him owlishly for a moment, then seemed to realize who he was talking too. "Oh, uh, yeah."

Orochimaru had a faintly amused expression on. "You forget who I am."

Shisui blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, sorry."

"Now, care to tell me why you had no eyes?"

Shisui's face hardened slightly. "Right. Danzo stole one of them, I gave the other to Itachi Uchiha."

Orochimaru cocked his head, so much like the snakes he summoned. "And then tried to kill yourself."

"Poison," Shisui said. "If it was known Danzo had killed me, it would just throw the clan deeper into war. Suicide was the best option."

Orochimaru nodded. "I neutralized the poison. Took a bit, but I did it."

Shisui nodded, sighing deeply.

"Now, if you don't mind, put some clothes on and follow me. Shizune would like to make sure you are healed.

Shisui looked down and realized he was just in his boxers. He squeaked undignifiedly, and hurriedly pulled on the clothing Shizune had discarded to heal his wounds.

"Shizune, like Tsunade's apprentice?" Shisui asked as soon as Orochimaru and he set off.

Orochimaru nodded. "Yes. She is the one that made sure you did not have a gaping hole in your right thigh and your lower right side."

Shisui nodded. "Thanks for finding her."

Orochimaru nodded back. "If you died and I could have prevented it, Hiruzen-sensei would have my hide."

Shisui nodded again, a crooked grin on his face. "Thanks."

Orochimaru glanced ahead of them, spotting the building between the trees. "We are here. I will go wake up Shizune if she is not awake already."

Shisui nodded assent and sat down on the ground, absentmindedly rubbing where his left arm had been. Orochimaru decided to head over to Uzushiogakure to see if they could help any. They were rumored to have been developing a new kind of prosthetic.

Orochimaru headed in to see Shizune already awake and brewing a cup of coffee.

She looked over and smiled slightly. "Orochimaru-san. Is he awake?"

Orochimaru nodded. "Shisui is his name. He is waiting outside."

Shizune nodded, taking a gulp of her coffee and heading outside. "Hello, how are you?"

Shisui shrugged. "Much better than the last time I was awake."

Shizune nodded, setting her coffee down on the ground and running green coated hands over the spots she'd healed just hours before. "Alright, looks like you're good. Perhaps no more falling off of cliffs, hm?"

"I'll try and avoid it, ma'am," Shisui replied truthfully.

Shizune shook her head. "You'd better. Alright, you're free to go. Tsunade-sama has not awakened yet. I suggest you leave before she does."

Orochimaru dipped his head. "Of course. Thank you, Shizune."

"You're welcome," she replied graciously. "Now, scram."

Shisui nodded quickly, scrambling to get up, but ultimately fell over because he forgot he was missing a left arm.

Orochimaru sighed, and grabbed Shisui's right upper arm, pulling the teen to his feet.

Shisui waved goodbye to Shizune as they leave. Shizune waved back happily.

"So, where are we going?" Shisui asked, right hand twitching slightly.

"To Uzushiogakure," Was Orochimaru's short reply.

Shisui thought about it for a bit. "Why?"

"Arm."

Shisui decided to stop talking. As much as he wanted to, it was fairly clear Orochimaru did not.

(A/N) We'll go back to Naruto at some point, don't worry. It's not going to be forever. Have a Merry Christmas!
