A/N: Here we go, more info for Sasuke. No warnings this time. Enjoy.

When Sasuke returned back to his quarters, he opened the folded piece of paper Raylin had given him. It seemed to be blank on both sides. But once he activated his sharingan, the words flowed over the page. He began to read,

Dear Sasuke, this may be the way we will have to communicate for a while. There is no way Orochimaru or Kabuto can translate or crack this ink – I invented it myself. It's only available to the sharingan user, as we can see things differently than anyone else can, as you've taught me.

I want to thank you for all your assistance in learning about who I am. I'm thrilled to know there's someone just like me in the world. And now I'd like to repay you for that assistance. I want to tell you about how we may be able to defeat Itachi and Orochimaru too.

Sasuke quit reading – his eyes wide. Defeat Orochimaru too? What is she thinking? He decided to find out. He read on,

Yes I did say Orochimaru too. By getting rid of him, we may be able to leave this place. I want to help you rebuild the clan if you'll let me. But first, let me explain how we may be able to accomplish this. First of all, your nature element – the basis of your chakra – is fire based. Mine is wind. Do you know what happens when wind mixes with fire? That's right, it makes it stronger – it feeds the fire. I can help you more than Orochimaru can. I can help you kill Itachi. I also have a hidden talent that no one knows about yet, but I'll tell you what it is. Not only am I predominantly wind, I also possess the earth element as well. Wind and earth mixed with fire Sasuke. There's no telling what would happen. I also possess water jutsu as you well know which I could use against Itachi's fire. Your lightning ability would actually enable us to cover all five nature elements with just the two of us. If we combined our talents, we would be unstoppable.

Sasuke paused in disbelief. He tried to digest everything she was telling him. It was a lot to take in. All this stuff about nature elements. As he trained, he suspected something about the nature elements, but he wasn't quite sure how it worked. But now that Raylin had explained it to him, it made much more sense. He continued,

This brings me to Orochimaru. Why kill him? Because he will take you Sasuke, and I cannot allow that to happen. I'm sorry, but I've just found you and I have no intention of losing you so soon. An all out attack on him will not kill him. He is much too strong. I actually offered him my body, in more ways than one. He doesn't want me, he wants you. If I continue to help you get stronger, and you actually allow him to possess your body, I think we can defeat him. With your sharingan, I'll teach you genjutsu I've invented to push his mind into a corner inside yours, so you will be in control. With him unable to take over completely, he will have no control over you. You can crush him with your mind while he is inside yours. I can teach you how. But that will come in time. We cannot let on that we're plotting something, and if you turned me in right now for doing this, it would certainly mean my expulsion from here, or more than likely, my death. I know Orochimaru would love to get his hands on me – I know he'd love to dissect me.

We have permission to train under his supervision tomorrow, and whatever you decide to do, I plan on putting on one hell of a show. I'll make them wonder first if they should fear me –and then prove to them that they should.

For now Sasuke, I want to thank you again for your knowledge. I look forward to learning the fireball jutsu from you. I'm glad you're here; you've become very special to me. Until tomorrow, Raylin.

Sasuke thought, I'm special to her. Huh. I used to be special to many people. He thought about his parents, the people in Konoha, they all cared about him once. Then he thought about Itachi, and he grew angry. I don't care if I am special to her now. But if she can help me defeat Itachi, I'll marry her. What was he saying? Maybe she was a bit more special to him than he thought she was.

A/N: Next up: Raylin learns and manipulates jutsu, and scares the crap out of her teachers.

See you soon.
