Orochimaru was in pain. Not physical pain, no. It was the pain of having your spirit arms sealed off of you, so, it could be physical pain, too. The attack on the Chuunin Exams in Konoha didn't go as planned. Well, at least he managed to kill the Sandaime Hokage, his old jounin sensei.
He frowned. This would put a dent in his plans, not to mention he needed to find his old teamate Tsunade and convince her to heal his arms. It shouldn't be that hard. She let herself go over the years, mourning her lovers and brothers deaths.
A commotion reached his ears. He hissed in displeasure. Can't those idiots see he was trying to think. Honestly, running a village is tiresome, with all the paperwork, but it would be worth it to see all his planning come through.
A exhausted Kabuto came through now, blood still coming from his wounds, which should have been healed by now. What happe- "Lord Orochimaru!"
"Yesssss?" Who could beat Kabuto so thouroughly that he had to ask for my help...
"There is an intruder!"
"You came just to tell me that?"
"No, my lord. I personally tried to interfere, but she easily tossed me aside," Kabuto whispered, almost in forgiveness.
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, "A woman? What did she-"
"Kukuku... Its not nice to talk behind someone's back, is it?" A womans voiced chuckled, her voice reverberating in the calm air.
Orochimaru's eyes widened,"Who are you? What do you want?" It couldn't have been Akatsuki, the only female member, she didn't leave Pein's side.
Kabuto only gaped. If Orochimaru couldn't sense this woman, then...
"You call yourself a medic, boy," the womans said, scorn evident. "Even I could do better then that!"
Orochimaru hissed, "Tell me who you are!"
"Shouldn't you know, Orochi-kun, or should I say, Otouto." His eyes widened as a figure stepped out of the shadows cast by the torch, her golden eyes gleaming.
"Bro- brother?" Kabuto said stuttering. Lord Orochimaru didn't have a sister, did he...?
"Hebiko, how niccceee to sssee you," Orochimaru said, his pleasure evident, as his sister, dressed in a long cloak stepped fully into the light, dark hair gleaming.
"Nice to see you, Otouto."
