"2 years past, things hadn't gotten easier…it was still like a boot camp"
"Orochimaru! Move your ass outside and start training!" Orochimaru was trying to help ryuu get changed into his kimono, but immediately reacted to his father's call and ran out leaving ryuu half dressed. Izune stood outside holding strap on weights "what the hell took you so long" Orochimaru said "…I was dressing ryuu' Izune immediately responded in a harsh tone "stop wasting your time with your brother! Focus everything on training!" Orochimaru nodded "y-yes sir" it pained Orochimaru to leave his brother alone, with his mother busy dealing with his dad he was the only one around to help ryuu. Izune walked over and strapped the weights onto orochimarus arms and legs "I want 6 laps around the forest by lunch or I swear to god there's a hard beating in your future" Orochimarus arms hung low from the weight he gulps nodding his head, Izune walked inside "suna! Get the fuck over here!"
Orochimaru looked down at his feet and began dragging his feet groaning at the difficulty of the weights. Ryuu came running outside onto the deck looking over to Orochimaru "owo! Owo! I wanna do it too!" he ran over dragging his kimono which was hanging half way off him. Orochimaru looked to him "ryuu no go inside…dads going to kill you if he sees you out here with me" ryuu grabbed onto orochimarus arm whimpering "but I want to do this to, im bored" Orochimaru cringed at the extra weight that ryuu put on his arm "ok..ok…you can walk with me" ryuu smiles and lets go 'yay!"
On the 5th lap Orochimaru collapsed under a tree gasping for air, ryuu looked over and sat down next to him "owo why'd you stop?' orochimaru sighs annoyed at the stupid question, wasn't it obvious? "Because ryuu…im exhausted..my arms feel like they're going to fall off" ryuu said "oh ok" he lays down next to Orochimaru "im exhawsted too" orochimaru smiled a little at his brothers attempt to copy him, he slipped the weights off pulling ryuu into a hug 'come here goof" ryuu giggled squirming around a little as orochimaru gave him a noogie.
Suddenly a large crash noise came from the house Izune could be heard yelling as suna screamed. Orochimaru looked in the direction of the house shocked by the sudden noise, although it wasn't all to new to him. Ryuu hadn't notice it he continued to giggle as he pushed orochimarus hand off his head "stop it' orochimaru looked to ryuu and sits up "…feel like camping?" ryuu smiles "yay camping!" orochimaru slipped the weights off his feet and stood up, he was afraid to go home when his father was this mad because he knew it was either him or ryuu who would be next to be hit.
Orochimaru led ryuu through the forest to a small waterfall that fed into a lake. Ryuu looked around and smiled "pretty" orochimaru smiles a little "..yep' he walks over to the waterfall and picked up ryuu moving behind it into a cave. "its like a secret hide out!" ryuu said as he looked around excitingly. Orochimaru nods putting him down "I come here sometimes to um….camp…" ryuu said 'shouldn't we tell mommy and daddy?" orochimaru walks over to a blanket and sits down "um no its ok they don't need to know" ryuu walks over and sat down "oh ok"
It wasn't long before ryuu passed out asleep sucking on his thumb. But orochimaru was wide awake stroking his brothers hair, the sounds of his mothers scream echoed through his head as he stared out into the waterfall.
"I didn't want to worry my mom by trying to help..she'd never forgive herself if I got hurt because of her. So I focused on keeping my brother safe, I felt that he needed me…or maybe I needed him"
