(A/N: Hey all, I know you're all waiting for updates on Tales From Konoha High: Gaara and Highschool, but as it is my muse is on life support right now so I'll get back to that when I can. To help fill the void, I've decided to write another fanfic…ie this one. It's about the unknown days that Sasuke was training with Orochimaru. Enjoy and I promise to update soon on all my fics. Please R&R if it suits you.)

Chapter 1: Confession

My name is Uchiha Sasuke and I am a Traitor. I sit here at my desk in my 12 by 8 foot room, it is dark, lonely, and cold. The only sound, aside from my own breathing, is the

eerie dripping of water from some place I cannot see. Orochimaru has crafted this facility to match his own soul, hollow and cold. There are others besides myself, but they will be

mentioned later. The very air here is filled with treachery. I am not impressed with the conditions I am forced to live with, though it doesn't bother me. If my room was decorated in

silk and well lit, I wouldn't be impressed, it is just as well that it is very sparse and made of stone. I have one bed, one desk, parchment, ink and one candle per day. There is no

window, and no door. It is as if privacy is a luxury we here in this camp cannot afford. I do not trust anyone who would willingly come to Orochimaru…and that makes my general

unease here even greater. My paranoia threatens to overwhelm me, but I am strong and I will prevail…I know that much. My only solace in this place seems to be in pen and ink,

and it is for this reason that I write to you now.

If for some reason my training fails me and I die, this is my living memories and feelings (hah, if you can call them that). I have but one dream, and its one I have an intention of

making a reality…..The resurrection of my clan…and to kill…a certain man. I grew up in Konoha with my clan, they are gone. My brother is one of the most infamous criminals in

a group named Akatsuki. I have hair black as night, onyx eyes, I am about 5'10. I had friends once, their names are unimportant. One was a red haired kunochi, she was a know it

all and a pain. She constantly followed me around like some sort of lost puppy, I am glad to be rid of her. The other was a blonde haired baka, who was the biggest joke of a

shinobi I had ever seen. He constantly fought me and competed for the red haired Kunochi's affection, but he could never best me. I am equally as glad to be rid of him. I have

abandoned my own home town, my friends, and my teacher…Hatake Kakashi. I only mention his name because he taught me much, and that is not something I can say for many

people. I am almost sorry to leave him. I know that I may be a wanted killer, and that one day Orochimaru may have me destroy Konoha…but I have no regrets. My home, my

friends, my name and in the end myself, I have sacrificed all in the name of power. My name is Uchiha Sasuke, and I am a Traitor.
