Chapter 2: The Demon vs The Snake!

In Kiri, a few days later

After an few days on an mission, Zabuza return to the Hidden Mist but he had sustained an bad wound on his shoulder which he still defeated his opponent with ease. As he returned, he saw Yagura holding Naruto who was napping as Zabuza went to go get him from Yagura. Afterthat, Yagura asked Zabuza if the mission went well which Zabuza replied with" Well I'm here ain't I?" as he smiled and then, left the Mizukage's office. Once he had left, Zabuza headed toward his house to rest for his long mission. But before he got home, he ran into a man with a eye patch over his left eye who introduced himself as Ao one of the Mizukage assisant with Mei Terumi. He was running some errand for Yagura around town and was about to return to the Mizukage to deliever the stuff Yagura wanted him to picked up as he told Zabuza this. He felt a incredible amount of chakra from the baby in Zabuza arms and then he activated his Byakugan which then he look at the baby and as he did, he though to himself "Damn, the Mizukage was right about this kid. He is going to be a great ninja of the mist when he get older, but until then we need to protect him bad." Afterthat,he ended his conversation with Zabuza and continued on his way to Yagura's office. After Ao left, Zabuza went home and put Naruto in his crib that Yagura gave him. Afterthat, Zabuza went to his bed and fell fast asleep.

Meanwhile in The Hidden Leaf

As the villager fix their village, Hiruzen was still being order by the Council and Fire Daimyo to find the demon fox baby. But, everytime he send a squad of ninja out to look for him, they came back empty handed. So Hiruzen had to find another way to get the baby. But, he couldn't think of anything, so he went to his last resort and asked Danzo for help which Danzo already had sent 2 ROOT members to find him but they both came back empty handed too. So Hiruzen called for Danzo to meet him in his office immediately. So Afterthat, Danzo walked through the office door and asked why did he asked for him.

"I called you here to discuss some business." Hiruzen told his rival who had took a seat on the couch

"What kind of business are we talking about ?" Danzo asked

"Well you know that the Council has order me to continue the search for that demon fox child and execute it, right?" Hiruzen asked Danzo

"Yeah, but you still haven't found him, so you came to me for help, right?" Danzo answered as Hiruzen began to get up from his desk and stare out of the window.

"Yes, I need you to send a couple of your ROOT members to the other 4 countries and search hide and low for that child and when they do find him, I want them to execute the kidnapper and the baby immediately with no question asked, got it?" Hiruzen demanded as Danzo began to smiled and then he nodded and left to get assigned his ROOT to find and kill the jinchuriki and the kidnapper.

At the ROOT base

When Danzo got the his ROOT base, he ordered all of the ROOT members to meet him in his office. As all of them arrived and were told their mission, they were divided into team and sent out. Afterthat, Orochimaru appeared in Danzo's office and asked where are all them going to.

Danzo answered "They are looking for the jinchuriki of the 9-tails who was kidnapped and the council order that worthless excuse for an Hokage ever, Hiruzen to find him and kill him and the kidnapper." as Orochimaru looked surprise at what he had just heard.

"You mean to tell me that my former sensai has to get you to fix up his mess,ha ha ha wow, he isn't as strong as he used to be, ha ha ha, so can I help that demon?" As Orochimaru said with an smile on his pale face.

"Yes, you can since you are one of the legendary Sannin and one of the most powerful ninja in the five shinobi countries." as Danzo answered Orochimaru. Afterthat, the 2 shook hands and went their seperate ways. Orochimaru left the base as headed toward the Hidden Mist to find the baby because he was given info from a source in the Mist he had sent there to spy on the Mizukage's action.

In Kiri,

As Orochimaru got closer to the mist and Naruto, he came across 2 Mist shinobis guarding the entrance into the village. So he slithered his way to an tree in front of the 2 ninjas which didn't seem to notice the snake sannin. Once he was behind the trees, Orochimaru then used the Temporary Paralysis Technique on the 2 ninja. Afterthat, he revealed himself to them and then, he took one of the guard face and clothes but before that he killed them and dragged their bodies into the wood. After he had done that, he began his search for the demon again as he was now walking through the village undetected, are so he thought. As Orochimaru walked around the mist he pasted Ao who automatically picked up on his chakra. Afterthat, Ao rushed to the Mizukage to tell him Orochimaru was in the village posing as an guard of the Mist. So after Yagura heard this, he order the Mist's most finest shinobis to find and kill the sannin before he does what he is here to do. So as the shinobi went to find Orochimaru, Yagura began to think of why Orochimaru would be in his villiage for.

"Why is this man in my villiage of all places. We don't have nothing special here besides 2 Tailed Beasts as far as he knows. Also, if he was after me he would've already attack without hesitating. What if he is here for Naruto and trys to take him back to one of his lab and experiment on him. Damnit this sannin shouldn't even be in the Mist."

Afterthat, he got through thinking he went to face the Sannin to see what he was doing there. As he went , Zabuza awoke from a knock at his door, so he got up and answered the door to find Mei standing in front of him in an exhausted state. So Zabuza asked her what did she want.

She answered " The Mizukage wants you to get the rest of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen ready for battle againist Orochimaru."

"Oroch-who, is he an missing-nin or something?" Zabuza asked with an confused look on his face.

"No he is one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha and now is a powerful shinobi as well." Mei answered him.

"So why is he here?" Zabuza questioned.

"We don't know his motivate yet but whatever it is it's not good, he killed both of the guards of the entrance to the village and then took one of their faces as Ao put it." Mei answered as she began toward the intruder and the Mizukage as well as the ninjas Yagura had sent to take out Orochimaru. After Mei left, Zabuza got dressed and strapped his giant sword to his back. Then, he grabbed Naruto to take him somewhere safe. Afterthat, Zabuza got the rest of the Swordsmen of the mist and went to fight Orochimaru who was now taking on an army of ninja plus an Mizukage/ jinchuriki, Orochimaru had the 4 Root members by his side that Danzo had sent to find the demon. As the fight started, Yagura sent to shinobi first as he went for Orochimaru. When he got to him, he grab staff and began attacking Orochimaru who found it entertaining that the Mizukage throught he was on the same level as him. Just then, as Orochimaru started attacking Yagura, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen show up with Zabuza in front. Afterthat, Mangetsu lead the other to fight the 4 Root members whille Zabuza helped Yagura with Orochimaru. So then, Zabuza pulled out his sword as he began to attack Orochimaru who was already fighting Yagura. As he got closer to the 2 fighting, he did the tiger hand seal which then created mist that surround the whole area they were at. Afterthat, he rushed toward Orochimaru with his sword blazing. Right then, Orochimaru grab Zabuza's sword and threw it like it was nothing and then, Zabuza made 3 water clones as continued fighting Orochimaru who had an evil smirk on his face since Zabuza showed up to the fight. Then the sannin jumped on Zabuza and begin wrapping his body around him which Orochimaru found out that was one of the water clones Zabuza created. So afterthat, Zabuza swung his sword, that he had went to retrieve while his clone and Orochimaru was fighting, at Orochimaru's head which turned out to be an earth clone. As the real Orochimaru appeared behind the swordsman with his Sword of Kusanagi to Zabuza's neck as Zabuza was told to drop his sword. After he had drop his sword, Zabuza smiled and vanished into the mist. Afterthat, Zabuza appeared the sannin now with an kunai to his neck which he then asked Orochimaru why was he here.

Orochimaru answered " Why should I tell you?" which made Zabuza put the kunai closer to his neck.

"TELL ME NOW!" Zabuza demanded which made Orochimaru smiled.

"Okay, I tell you why I'm here." Orochimaru answered as Zabuza loosen his grip on Orochimaru's neck.

"Alright tell me and I might let you live." Zabuza ordered as Orochimaru grab his neck to make sure it was still good.

"I was sent here to find a baby who has the Nine-Tails sealed in him, and take him back to the Leaf." Orochimaru answered as he still the evil smirk on his face.

"Why would it be here, but I got a better question for you how did you come up with that information?" Zabuza asked as he began tighten his grip again on Orochimaru.

"Because a source told me that a baby was brought into the village who had a seal on his stomach, and as for your other question, well I can't tell someone like you." Orochimaru answered as Yagura walked up to the 2

"Well, well you like aren't as that powerful as people make the legendary Sannin out to be." Yagura said as he walked up.

"Well because I just came here to get the baby and leave, that's it." Orochimaru told Yagura and Zabuza.

After they had got the info they wanted from him, they released him.

Yes I know, I made Orochimaru look weak but he still hasn't got the power he had when he was in Naruto. Oh yeah Review and remember bad criticism is Constructive Criticism to me. So bye for now!
