Aria leaves the clinic and changes back into herself. She heads back towards the hotel her team is staying at when she's suddenly grabbed from behind, and her mouth is covered. Kabuto says, "Lord Orochimaru has been watching you, and he wants that baby you're carrying."
Aria struggles to get loose but it's no use she is quickly knocked out by Kabuto. When she finally wakes up she's in a strange setting that looks like a medical clinic. Aria asks, "Where am I?" Kabuto replies, "You're a guest of lord Orochimaru. I'm Kabuto I'll be taking care of your medical needs."
Aria asks confused, "Why am I a guest of lord Orochimaru?" A voice comes from behind him saying, "I can answer that question, my child." Aria asks him, "What is it you want from me Orochimaru?"
He replies, "I want that baby you're carrying to be my next body." Aria asks shocked, "Why do you want my baby?" Orochimaru chuckles, and says, "This baby's Father is Kakashi Hatake?"
Aria quickly lies saying, "No it's not." Orochimaru looks at her, and says, "Hmm then why did you say you're Mrs. Hatake at the clinic?" Aria replies, "Kakashi is a family friend I know he'd help me break the news to my parents. I'm only 17 you know."
Orochimaru chuckles saying, "Good try child but I know this is Kakashi's baby I have spies in the leaf village." Aria asks, "What do you want with Kakashi's baby anyway?"
Orochimaru replies, "I'm hoping that his Sharingan eye will be passed down to the baby."
Aria says angry, "Well you're not getting this baby Orochimaru." He asks, "What exactly are you going to do about it, child? You're no match for both me and Kabuto."
Aria smirks, and says, "I can do this" she uses the transparency jutsu her Dad taught her when she was little. Orochimaru looks around the room, and asks, "Where did she go Kabuto?"
He responds, "I don't know my lord but she couldn't have gone far." Orochimaru says angry, "Kabuto have everyone search the property I want you to find her fast!"
Kabuto replies, "Yes my lord right away." Kabuto takes off and gets everyone to start searching for Aria. Orochimaru smirks, and says, "I know you're still here come on out already my child, and I'll go easy on you."
Aria quietly follows Kabuto out of the building to where he is instructing the other members of the sound on where to search for her. Aria hears Kabuto instruct a guy he called Kimimaro to go, and search a nearby village so she silently follows him, and stays hidden until she sees him leave the small village. Once he's gone Aria disguises herself to look more like the women in this village so that she'll blend just in case they returned to search the village again she finally bumps into an old villager. Aria asks, "Sir do you know where I can mail a letter?
The old man says, "You remind me of my daughter do you need a place to stay while you're here?" Aria replies, "Yes sir but I really need to mail a letter home."
The old man replies, "You can stay with me a couple of days, and I'll help you mail your letter." Aria says, "Ok thank you very much, sir." Then she asks, "Do you know where I am?"
The old man says, "This is the land of rice but please be careful strangers aren't really welcomed here." Aria replies, "I'll be more careful sir."
She quickly writes a note in code telling the leaf village where she is and sends the letter with the old man's help. The old man says, "Come on now well go home, and eat then you can rest you look like you need it."
Aria follows him to his home it's a small shack but it does have two bedrooms she didn't really know why she trusted this strange old man but something about him made Aria feel safe, and she felt that he could be trusted. Little did she know that he was an undercover spy for the leaf village.
