"a few months passed…."
Orochimaru had just turned 6 and ryuu was 3, each day was getting harder. Orochimaru had been taking his dads advice and was trying to get stronger and increase his power, but no matter how much he worked his fathers abusive behavior continued.
But orochimaru never gave up, he was out in the forest training. As he performed hand signs he extended his arm "striking shadow snake!" 1 snake came out but limply fell frontward "damn…this won't do" the snake disappeared back up into his sleeve. A large grumble noise came from his stomach he groans "it's so late…if I don't eat im going to pass out" he thought as he began walking home.
In the distance a large amber light glowed through the trees. Orochimaru squints his eyes "what the heck is that…" he started running. As he approached the house he gasped, it was on fire.
The large flames engulfed every last inch of the house growing higher and higher. Orochimaru ran up to the house "n-no! mom! Dad! Ryuu!" he attempted to enter the house through the front door but the deck collapsed and he was forced to move back.
A small cry could be heard from inside the house "owo! Owo!" orochimaru stared "…! That's ryuu…hold on ryuu im coming!" he took a few steps back and darted for the collapsed deck, he leapt over the burning wood and landed in the smoldering house.
As he pulled his kimono up over his mouth he looked around "ryuu! Where are you!" "im up here!" orochimaru looked to his room and ran over grabbing the metal door knob "ouch! Hot!" he let go immediately. Ryuus coughing could be heard from inside the room, orochimaru growls he slammed himself up against the door, again, and again, and again.
The door broke in spreading burning ashes everywhere, he coughed standing up "where are you ryuu!" ryuu whimpers as he crawled out from under the bunk bed "im over here owo" orochimaru grabbed ryuus hand and pulled him out of the room "come on we got-" suddenly screams filled the house…it was his parents.
Orochimaru looked around "mom! Dad!"
"orochimaru is that you! Hunny get out of here!"
Orochimarus gaze turned to the bathroom door he ran over "mom! Don't worry im gonna get you out!" a loud clank noise came from the roof as it bent inward. Suna said "no baby, listen to me you have to get out of here now. Do you have your brother" he nodded "yeah but mo-"she interrupted "no buts! We'll be right out I promise" she coughed. Orochimaru bit his lip he nods "…ok mom" and he ran out of the house with ryuu.
Ryuu said "owo! What about mommy and daddy!" orochimaru ran over to a tree "they're coming don't worry they said they'd come" he looked over to the house and waited "come on mom…come on dad…" he thought to himself as he clutched ryuus hand tightly. Another loud clank noise came from the house and suddenly the roof collapsed in causing the flames to grow even higher, a loud scream emitted from the house but faded fast.
Orochimaru stared in shock "…!" his eyes darted around looking to see if his parents got out ryuu whines "o-owo?" orochimarus hand slipped from ryuus he slowly walked towards the house "…m-mom..d-dad" he slid down onto his knees. Ryuu walked over "owo? Where is mommy and daddy" tears slowly filled orochimarus eyes he tried to fight them back "t-they got out..don't worry..they're probably looking for us right now…let's just wait" ryuu nods and sits down next to orochimaru.
Hours passed, the flames slowly died down and there was no sign of suna and Izune. Ryuu had fallen asleep he was curled up in a ball, orochimaru stood up he walked up to the charred house stepping over the destroyed structure. He went over to where the bathroom had been and began frantically digging through the wood "dad probably just did a shield jutsu or something..yeah there under all this they're ok..They're ok" he was crying but at the same time smiling, it was a desperate smile.
He moved a large piece of wood and under it laid his mother and father burnt to a crisp. Orochimaru screamed and stepped back he wanted to look away but couldn't "NO! NO! THIS CANT BE HAPPENING! THIS ISNT REA-"coughs escaped Izune mouth along with smoke "o-orochimaru?" his voice sounded as burnt as his skin. Orochimaru crawled over sitting next to Izune "dad! Your ok!" Izune said "…barley…orochimaru?" "Yeah dad?" "I want you to have this…" he weakly took a necklace off his neck as skin dropped off his arm. It was a silver metal necklace with 4 music notes on it he placed it in orochimarus hands "it was…my father's…" he wheezed. Orochimaru stared at the necklace and put it on Izune said "...and now it's yours...take your brother and run.." orochimaru shook his head "im not gonna leave you!" Izune said "don't be a idiot, go and protect your brother…we'll be fine here" orochimaru looks down. Izune said "son..." he placed his burnt hand on orochimarus head making him look up "…im proud of you" orochimaru smiled a little "t-thanks dad…" he stood up and walked away back over to ryuu.
Orochimaru picked up ryuu and started walking away, he didn't know where he was going but he had to go somewhere. He walked through the forest tears running down his cheeks for once he felt he was the strongest person ever.
"I think I should explain this...i didn't know of anything outside the forest we lived in, my father was a S rank criminal wanted in konaha for stealing forbidden scrolls. He was also wanted in many clans for stealing members and experimenting with their jutsus, a popular clan was the uchiha clan. I was very lost. Another issue is I resembled my father I had the pale skin, black hair, purple markings, and amber eyes…no one was going to pay me or ryuu any respect. But at the time when I was that age I didn't know any of that…I didn't know the reason why I was going to be treated with such disrespect"
