Disclamer: If I owned either of these two I would be happy but I don't. Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto. Itachi: And me. *Hugs Naruto tightly* And this version of Sleeping Beauty was adapted by Disney.

ItaNaru Sleeping Beauty,

Chapter two: Sorceress's plan and Orochimaru's fury.

Minato and Kushina still feared for Naruto's life. In an effort to protect their son they ordered taht every spinning wheel in Japan be burned.

So it was done.

Sakura watched the bonfire from the room they were staying in. She sighed and went into the room muttering to herself.

Hinata and Ino made some tea. "Sakura-chan, come and have some tea. I-I'm sure i-it'll work out somehow."

Ino scowled. "Well a bonfire won't stop Orochimaru."

Sakura took a cup. "Of course not, but what will?"

"W-well, perhaps, if we um reason with him..." Hinata started to say.

"Reason?" "With Orochimaru?" The two sorceress' looked at Hinata who blushed.
"Well, um h-he can't be all bad."

"Oh yes he can." Sakura stated.

Ino snorted. "I'd like to turn him into a fat old hoptoad."

"Um, that isn't a very n-nice thing to say Ino-chan."

""Besides, we can't. You know our magic dosn't work like that. We can only do good, bring joy and happiness."

Ino shrugged and sipped her tea. "Well taht would make me happy."

Sakura paced the room. "There has to be some way." Her green eyes lit up. "There is!"

Ino and Hinata ran to her. "What is it Sakura-chan?"

"I'm going to..." She gasped and coverd their mouthes. "Shh. Even walls have ears."

She looked around the room before turning to Ino and Hinata. "Follow me." She shrank her self and Ino and Hinata did the same.

They went into a box that contained a little cup and spoon for Naruto.
Thery closed it and locked it.

"I'll turn him into a flower."

"Orochimaru?" Ino asked confused.

Sakura laughed. "No, the Prince."

"Oh, he'd make a lovley flower." Hinata said.

"A flower can't prick it's finger if it hasn't any. He'll be perfectly safe."

Ino then frowned as she thought of somthing. "Untill Orochimaru sends a frost."

"Oh dear." Sakura held her head. Ino was right. "He always ruins your nicest flowers Sakura-chan." Hinata said sadly.

"You're right. And he'll be expecting us to do somthing like that."

Ino sat down. "What won't he expect? He knows everything."

Hinata looked at her. "Oh but he dosn't Ino-chan. Orochimaru dosn't know anything about love, or kindness, or the joy of helping others."

Sakura then got an idea. "Of course! It's the only thing he can't understand, and won't expect!" She began to pace and mutter.

"Now we have to plan it carefully. Let's see, the abandoned house in the forest.
Of course the Emperor and Empress will object but once we explain it's the only way."

"Explain what Sakura-chan." Hinata asked.

"About the three peasent women, raising a foundling child deep in the forest."

Ino and Hinata looked confused.

"Oh, that's very nice of them." Hinata said.

"Who are they?" Ino asked.

"Turn around." Sakura waved her wand. Ino and Hinata's robes changed, they were now in simple kimonos fit for peasent women.
Ino and Hinata gasped as they saw their reflections in Naruto's bowl. Sakura also made herself a kimono.

"Why it's us." Hinata stated. "You mean we, us?" Ino asked. Sakura nodded.

"We'll take care of the baby?" Hinata asked.

"Why not?" Sakura smiled at Hinata's excitement.

Ino was checking herself out in the bowl.
She frowned whenb her dress was pink by Sakura's magic. She made the kimono purple and hopped down.

"Well yes but we'd have to feed him and..."

Hinata was already floating. "Wash him and dress him and rock him to sleep. Oh I love it." She was smiling happily.

Ino went up to Sakura. "Do you really think we can do it?"

Sakura nodded. "If ordinary humans can do it we can too." She started for the door.

"We have our magic to help us too." Ino added. Sakura stopped and turned around.

"Oh no no no! No magic! I'll take those wands for now." She grabbed Hinata's wand then held her hand out for Ino's but she wouldn't relent.

"But live like mortals? For sixteen years?"
"Yes. So hand it over Ino-chan."

"But we don't know how, we've never done anything without magic before." Ino ran round the box trying to keep her wand away from Sakura.

"And that's why Orochimaru will never suspect."

"But who'll wash and cook and..."

"We'll all pitch in."

"I'll take care of the baby." Hinata said.

Sakura cornered Ino and was trying to get the wand but Ino hid it behind her back.

"Come on Ino. It's the only way we can help the Prince." She looked seriously at Ino.
Ino sighed and handed her wand to Sakura. "Fine." She growled.

"Come on, we must tell their majesties at once."

Sakura ran out and turned herself and the other girls back to their regular size.
They ran to tell Minato and Kushina their plan.

The Emperor and Empress were reluctand but agreed to the plan.

So Minato and Kushina watched with heavy hearts as their most precious posesion: Their only child, dissapeared into the night.

Hinata carried Naruto. She adjusted the blanket covering him as Sakura made sure the coast was clear. Sakura gave the signal and without looking back, they ran into the forest.

Kushina leaned into Minato and began to cry. Minato did what he could to comfort her but inside he felt like crying as well.

Many sad and lonly years passed by for the people of Japan. But as the time for Naruto's sixteenth birthday drew near, the entire kingdom began to rejoyce.

Everyone knew that aslong as Orochimaru's domain on the forbidden mountains thundered with his wrath and frustration, his evil prphacy had not yet been fulfilled.

Orochimaru paced his throne room angerly.
He had found out that the people were hiding the Prince from him to protect him from his curse.

He made lightning flash, and thunder rumble. His servants trembled from his rage.

"It's incredeble! Sixteen years and not a trace of him? He couldn't have vanished into thin air!"

He turned to his servant who had bandages on his face.

"Are you sure you serched everywhere?"

"Yes Orochimaru-sama. We serched every single place in Japan."

"The towns, the forests, the mountains?"

"Every inch of the forest, every mountain, every house even every cradle."

"Cradle?" Orochimaru looked up in surprise.

"Yes Orochimaru-sama, every single cradle."
He rocked his arms for emphasis.

"Cradle?" Orochimaru turned to his mosty faithful servent, Kabuto, with an amused smile.

"Did you hear that Kabuto? All these years they've been looking for a baby."

Kabuto laughed and Orochimaru laughed with him.

The whole room laughed as well.

Orochimaru then stopped laughing and glred at the servants with killer intent.

"YOU FOOLS!"

Everyone stopped laughing and lookeed at him fearfully.

"IDIOTS! IMBECLES!" He pointed his hand at them and sent lightning their way. Those that were hit tuned to ashes. The servants ran from the room.

Kabuto stood by and watched with amusment.

Once the room was empty Orochimaru sat down in his throne and put his head in his hands.

Kabuto approached him and bowed.

"They were fools Orochimaru-sama."

"They were hopless. A disgrace to the forces of evil."
Orochimaru looked up at the silver haired man.

"Kabuto, you are my last hope. Serch far and wide. Serch for a boy of sixteen,
with hair of sunshine gold and eyes blue as the sky. Go."

Kabuto bowed low. "I won't fail you Orochimaru-sama." He left the room.

"You had better not." Orochimaru's eyes narrowed darkly.
