Start Chapter:
There was a grassy plain. Over the years, it has transformed...At first it was a plains...Then it grew and became a forest...but then the forest died and became a swamp...it wasn't long before the ancestors of the would-be Cloud Ninjas drained the swamp, turning it into a plains once more. At the grassy plain, it was night time. The full moon shined down, upon three dark figures, wading the sea of grass.
Naruto, Kita, and Gaara strode through field, moving effortlessly through the tall grass. To an observer, it would seem as if they were gliding through the grass. Inch, by inch, they were nearing the Hidden Cloud.
Somewhere in a cave
Nine lonesome figures stood together on the damp floor of the cave. The man known only as the Leader, looked at his subordinates up and down,measuring their strength with his eyes alone, and nodding in approval.
'Leader, what is our next project?'
'Our informants in the Rice Country have found out information, that Orochimaru holds a monster. No, don't get me wrong, it is not one we should pursue just yet. We need to come to a conclusion.'
'Monster? Is it a bijuu?'
'No, it is not. The bastard-pedophile, got the monster, just because it's name is part of his. Yes, Orochimaru has the 8-headed Orochi dragon in his lair. His plans are most likely to seal the monster into his new body. Itachi, you were to careless. You should not have let Orochimaru gain control of your dear baby brother.'
'Sorry Leader.'
'I do not know what your plans were, nor do I ask of you to tell me, but you will either kill your brother, or capture him in our custody. We cannot let him gain control of such a powerful weapon.'
Suddenly, 8 voices were heard in the cave. 'Sir, yes sir.'
Somewhere in the Eternal Fields
Three cloaked figures stood outside a giant wall. The said wall, was made of ancient stone, moss growing on its rocks. One of the three sighed.
'Kita-chan, it's time Gaara and I taught you how to walk on trees.'
Somewhere in Rice Country
Kukuku...Yes, Sasuke-kun, it is truly wonderful isn't it?'
Sasuke replied uneasily, 'Yes, Orochimaru-san."
'Yes, look at how HUGE it is. And so long too. Each one can shoot out a liquid. One, of them, is white.'
The teacher and student, were looking at a sleeping Orochi.
'What are we here for, sensei?'
'It is time, Sasuke-kun, that you get your own Sword Of Kusanagi.'
Somewhere in the Hidden Leaf Village.
Tsunade was looking through the village records. The Third, it seemed, kept a huge network of information. Whether the information was outdated, or untrue, could never be told. Looking through the records of Naruto, she found out that it was Jiraiya who brought him to Konoha the day that the Kyuubi attacked. She sighed. Then she realized one thing. A year before the Kyuubi attack. Jiraiya and her...well...did it... and she kept it...After the child was born, it was thought to have been brain-dead, so it was going to be killed. The day of the Kyuubi attack, Jiraiya said that he wouldn't let his son be killed by doctors, so he said he'd do it himself. That was something Tsunade never forgave him for. But, Jiraiya didn't come back till a few days after. Could he have? Yes, it was possible. Incredible. Tsunade collapsed onto the floor of the document room, panting.
'Tsunade-sama!'
Shizune quickly ran to her mentor's side in an effort to help her. Tsunade shrugged her off. Shizune then gave her a questioning look.
'Looks like there really is meaning to it when Naruto calls me mom.'
Somewhere in Rice Country
Three days later.
Naruto, and Gaara were in the final step of teaching Kita how to walk on a tree. It had taken a few days, but with helpful mentors, Kita grasped it fairly well. It was not long before Kita was walking up on the stone wall.
'Kita, wait for us!'
And so, Kita waited for them. They put on their hoods again.Unbeknowst to them, down in the grassy plain, five pairs of eyes were looking at them. All of them closed once. When they opened their eyes, all one could see were dark yellow orbs.
Author's Note: We will not find out who the mysterious 5 are, till much later, but i decided to introduce them right now. As for the Orochi, it is a very real mythological monster, like the eight tailed monster-bijuu. With the exception of instead of 8 tails, it has 8 heads. Please review your thoughts and opinions.
