This story is based off of a series of lucied dreams i had while watching naruto, with a decently structured plot i decided to turn them into a proper story for others to enjoy.
I open my eyes, finding myself in a field staring down orochimaru. Several moments of silence passed until he spoke. "You are bold to challenge me." he spoke in a cocky tone while chuckling, drawing my sword. I rushed forward, time appearing to slow as the world gained a purple tint. I saw his face twist into a look of anger as he leaned back to avoid my sword slash losing half a lock of hair from his head, time resumed as I pressed my advantage jumping up to deliver two kicks to the man's chest spinning around and landing back on my feet. With a cocky smile I attempted to press my luck and charged forward receiving a swift kick to my face which knocked me on my back, my blurry vision recovered just in time to see a sword shoot out from orochimaru's mouth. Rolling to the right I scrambled to my feet while hearing the sound of the sword sink into the dirt, spinning around. I saw the sword coming out of a snake's mouth retract into the mouth of orochimaru before the man rushed forward. His first stab was swift leaving little room to react and even less for error, turning to the right with the flat side of my blade pushed out the sound of metal clashing rang out as I jumped back to gain distance. The man's head extended out on an inhuman neck, first came a slash from the left then the right followed up by a downwards slash then a stab, i matched the slashes with a set of my own before raising my sword up to intercept the downward slash followed by a side step and turn to avoid the stab. With his neck wide open I raised my sword up to decapitate the man, however I was quickly wrapped up in the man's neck, his neck squeezing me tight enough to make me drop my sword. "I must say I'm impressed, not many people could survive against me for so long, especially without using jutsu of any kind. Why won't you show me any of your tricks, is it possible you don't know any or do you know something I don't?" With that question asked i was thrown across the field slamming into the ground and rolling to a stop when I had a flashback. I was standing next to a railing senshi uchiha, a long time childhood friend. Senshi was fugaku's younger brother and had always acted like a harsh older one to me. It was just after sarutobi's funeral and senshi had a look of disappointment on his face. Senshi had short wild black hair and always wore that light black cloak that hid most of his body, aside from when he activated his sharingan he looked like an ordinary person with green eyes. He always wore a dark cloak that covered most of his body, his shinobi symbol embedded in the center of said cloak. "You are unbelievable, you know that? You were being trained by the third hokage himself and you couldn't even learn a single jutsu hell you couldn't even memorize any of the hand signs, some shinobi you turned out to be." Senshi spoke in a cold and harsh tone which at the time struck pretty hard. "That's not true. I think you're being a bit hard on me. I mean I managed to learn at least one, I just can't show it off." I spoke in a soft, almost depressed tone as Sarutobi's death had hit me pretty hard. "That's rich, it's a whole fake girlfriend situation. You know about jutsu. I don't and you can't tell me about it or show it to me, you're hopeless." It was then when I snapped back to reality and picked myself up off of the ground looking back towards orochimaru I brought my hands up and began to weave hand signs while speaking. "Truth is, I was only able to learn one jutsu. REAPER DEATH SEA-..." i was interrupted by orochimaru snatching my right arm in his mouth just above the elbow. Time slowed as the world once more gained a purple tint, this only made the pain of my arm being torn from my body worse once my arm had been removed time resumed. I fell to my knees holding my elbow which was bleeding heavily, orochimaru now stood over me with a twisted smile as he spoke. "Well then it's a shame that you will never get the chance to use it.'' With that said the man opened his mouth to summon his snake sword once more, however i thought fast and reached into my back pouch, grabbing one of my smoke pellets, i threw it as fast as i could straight down the man's throat. Smoke began to roll out of the man's mouth followed by pain filled coughing, I scrambled backwards barely avoiding a sword slash as I shot up from the ground and began to run. "YOU MISERABLE INSECT, IF I EVER CATCH YOU I WILL SKIN YOU ALIVE!'' These were the last words I heard as I ran as fast as I could, eventually blacking out due to blood loss. Slowly I would wake up, my vision fading in and out and my hearing distorted, staring up at the slanted wooden ceiling. I had no idea how much time had passed as I took slow steady breaths allowing my senses to slowly return to me. Once i felt my strength returning I slowly sat up, almost falling over to the right as I tried to use my right arm to steady myself unfortunately it was no longer there. Upon looking down at where my right arm should have been it was instantly obvious that more than what orochimaru had bitten off was missing, my right arm was now nothing more than a nub ending just before where my elbow should start in a clean cut. While I was mourning the loss of my arm I heard the sound of a door sliding open followed by a familiar voice. "Hey you, you're finally awake." Looking towards the sound of the door and voice I spotted an old idol and one of the three legendary sannin tsunade. "We found you face down in the field a few miles from this village, you were missing your arm and almost dead. Tell me what is a leaf shinobi doing all the way out here?" Tsunade asked this as she walked over, sitting down next to me and noticing my headband. Despite my lack of jutsu I was extremely skilled in kenjutsu thus I made it into the genie corps. It was where the shinobi who didn't quite make the cut but still had some kind of potential were sent. We were allowed to take on low ranking missions but I was mainly a blacksmith. Before anything else could be said the door slid open and closed once more as another of the legendary sannin entered the room jaria. "oh hey it's you! I can't believe it, when tsunade said she found some one armed guy in the field i didn't think it was going to be you." Tsunade looked at jaria slightly confused and before she could voice said confusion jaria spoke again. "Don't you remember when we were about twenty five, twenty six. Those two kids that joined the academy the huga and the uchiha, they were the stars of their class hell the whole academy. Senshi and kaen i think their names were, well they always had a kid who wasn't really anything special hanging around them this is him he was the screw up who was always hanging out with the prodigies." This seemed to jog tsunade's memory as her look of confusion changed to one of joy. "Oh right he was the kid who struggled to learn jutsu, people said he had something called stupid fingers. It was joke name to give someone when they struggle with jutsu for a long time. So tell us what happened, why were you out in that field and how did you lose your arm?" Without seeing a way out of this i let out a sigh and told both tsunade and jaria the truth, leaving them both rather shocked. "Well that's one hell of a story, what do you think we should do with him?" Jaria asked this question to tsunade who gave him another confused look. "Why are you asking me?" Tsunade responded to jaria with a question to which he simply shrugged. "I don't know your going to be the next hokagae so i figured i'd ask." This was jaria's only response before tsunade returned her attention to me, taking a moment to think before answering. "I say you can either come back and face the consequences of your actions those being charged as a rough shinobi, or you can not return to the hidden leaf village at all and i will forget that we ever ran into you here." With those options given to me tsunade stood up so that both her and jaria could exit the room giving me a brief glimpse of a young naruto, after a moment i stood up from where i laid and stretched my legs before looking back down at what used to be my right arm. Thoughts of how stupid i was and everything that had lead up to this situation as well as the options that tsunade had given me raced through my head. After several moments i would exit the building where I found Tsunade, jaria, and naruto waiting for me. "I'm not coming back, not until redeemed myself." After telling tsunade that i would not be returning to the village at the moment. Tsunade and jaria both wished me luck before we parted ways, the two as well as naruto made their way out of the town back towards the village hidden in the leaves while i made my way to locations unknown.
