Midnight In Konoha (naruto x oc)

Chapter 18

It was after midnight when group of three of Sound shinobi entered Konohagakure no Sato. Chunin exam was approaching and three Oto gennin had been particularly chosen to participate in it however, it was not because Otogakure needed more well-qualified shinobi. Taking Chunin exam was part of their mission they had been assigned, they were part of much bigger plan and before leaving Otogakure they had been told clear not to make any unnecessary moves unless ordered otherwise.'Tsuchi Kin, Abumi Zaku and Kinuta Dosu,' the spiky black-haired Konoha shinobi who was standing guard at the Aoi gate together with his partner, Kamizuki Izumo had read out loud the names on the passports of the arrived foreigners. 'Otogakure, huh?''We're here to take part in Chunin exam,' the short spider-walking like man replied. Bandages covered half of his face leaving only eyes visible, he and his teammates were wearing forehead protectors with the Sound emblem.'Of course, you are.' Hakage gave all three passports back to their owners and stepped aside, allowing the group of three pass and enter the village. Dosu was the one to thank, whereas in his head Zaku was imagining various scenarios of possible death of standing before them two chunins. Not speaking more, they headed to the inn where they were about to stay for the time of Chunin exam, Kin was looking around the quiet and empty streets coming up to a simple conclusion that Konoha seemed boring.'Remember, what we're here for,' Dosu said for the last time that day. 'We have a mission to complete, act like typical shinobi wanting to become chunin, we're doing exactly what Orochimaru-sama told us to do, nothing more nothing less.'_________________________At the sight of the man before her the only words Kita mastered to whisper were, 'What the hell?'From the shadows the tall silhouette of a man revealed itself. He looked exactly the same way Kita remembered him: long black hair and golden irises though he was wearing differently now. But what was striking the most was the fact that Orochimaru hasn't changed even a tiny bit.'True, some may think I went to hell and came back.' Kita completely did not expect he could have heard her, after all she had whispered. To herself. 'Some even call me the incarnation of the Devil himself,' Orochimaru was approaching for some time now, it was when Kita realised she was staring at him like at the most beautiful painting that she hadn't noticed him go towards her, she even forgot about Naruto whose life was probably in grave danger.'I see you're speechless.' A wide smile started to creep on Kita's lips similarly to Orochimaru who had just come to a halt before his daughter. They both snorted and started to laugh. 'Oh, my. You can't even imagine how much I missed you, Kita,' said the Sannin as he had hugged his daughter and kissed her forehead.'I missed you too, dad. Every day. You haven't changed at all!'Orochimaru pursed his lips and frowned his eyebrows in confusion, 'I don't know, should I take it as a compliment?' Kita's smile was not vanishing off her face, she had just seen her own father for the first time after nine years of absence and now was lacking words. Many times she had imagined that day, the day she would meet him face to face, wondering what she would tell him. Wanted to tell him everything but as she opened her lips finally remembered Naruto. 'Dad, I need to ask you something and I need you to answer me. Truthfully.' Orochimaru's eyes were still fixed on his daughter, tilting his head he let her speak further, intrigued. 'Is it possible to have two chakras in one body?'The Sannin chuckled, 'My dear Kita, everything's possible if you find the right way. Yes, it is possible to have not only yours chakra but also somebody's else in one body, but for that you need to either perform a ritual that would immediately kill the person whose chakra you want to transfer, or simply steal someone's face where you also would have to kill the person whose face you want to steal. Proud I have to say, I've patented both jutsu myself.''Who else knows them?' That question startled Orochimaru, squinting his golden eyes he stared at his daughter trying to figure out the reason she had asked particularly that question. 'Dad, who else knows them?''Nobody.''So, it was you in hospital then? You were that medic?''No.' Kita did not see any chakra fluctuation in her father's body which meant he was telling the truth, he had not been the person Kita had met in Konoha hospital. 'Are you suggesting you've met someone who used one of those jutsu?'Kita sighed, knowing she could not waste more time on talking and had to return to Naruto, 'Dad, listen. I think someone wants to kill my friend and I have to stop him.' She had said in haste and turned around on her feet towards the door, about to leave the attic.'Wait, wait, wait, wait.' Orochimaru grabbed Kita's arm, stopping her from leaving. 'What friend? Who wants to kill your friend?''Uzumaki Naruto. He's at hospital and when I visited him today there was this medic whose chakra was unusually circulating, it was fluctuating. First, I thought he might be terminally ill but then I realised those were two completely different chakras, and from what you've just told me means that person has stolen the real medic's face! It means he's not a doctor but for some reason, he's there and I think Naruto might be in danger.''Oh.' The confusion disappeared off Orochimaru's face, he went on saying, 'Then, it must be my man. His name's Kabuto and he's simply watching over Naruto-kun. I had no idea he'd learnt those jutsu himself but it must be him.'Watching over Naruto? Why?' Came to Kita's mind, all words from the past spoken by her grandfather suddenly crossed her mind. She wanted to believe her father but knew that it was never a good idea to ignore her grandfather's words, she had her fingers burned because of it not once in her life.Kita loved her father dearly but so loved other people who were dear to her and she was ready to die for especially one of them, Naruto who was like a brother to her. Perhaps, it was not Orochimaru's intention to hurt his daughter and he had no clue of Naruto being a friend to Kita, but what would be the reason for him to kill Naruto? The answer came to Kita immediately, if what her grandfather had once told her was true Orochimaru wanted power. Power that was in Naruto, given to him by the sealed in him Nine-Tail.'He's watching over Naruto, really? Didn't look like it and didn't sound like it. Dad, if this Kabuto of yours lays one finger on Naruto I swear I'm gonna tear him apart and he'll end up as a dinner for Shi and Seikatsu.'Leaning against the wall with hands in his pockets Orochimaru smirked, 'Alright, I'll let him know.''I see you don't care about your man Kabuto. Weren't you by any chance his sensei?''How observant you are. Sincerely, there are only two people I care about, the rest means nothing to me and I'm not gonna lie if there was no point of them I'd gladly wipe them out.' Her father's brutal honesty surprised even Kita, who was now standing before him in confusion. He sounded very much like her when sometimes she tend to get furious, nevertheless Kabuto was his student and he didn't care but Kita was not like him in that aspect. Konohamaru and Naoko were unofficially her students as well but she did care about them, they meant a lot to her. By blood, Konohamaru was her cousin whereas Naoko was like a little sister to her, and both were treating each other as such. Kita did believe her father however, deep down had a hunch that at once she should ask her grandfather for placing a guard or two by Naruto's room in the hospital, she had to tell him about the medic not revealing that her father had already arrived in Konoha and met her. She might have trusted her father but not Kabuto whom she didn't know. If he had gone that far to learn her father's kinjutsu without his knowledge it could have meant the boy wouldn't restrain from achieving what he wanted. If he wanted to kill Naruto certainly he would give it a try.'You don't trust me, do you?' Orochimaru asked, smiling no more. His face was dead serious and eyes emotionless as he looked at his daughter who was staring at him blankly. He hoped for an answer which he didn't get.'I gotta go.'The reunion had not gone as planned, Orochimaru had expected to receive a warmer welcome after not having seen his daughter for nine years. Staring at the spot where Kita had been standing at a while ago he perfectly knew the reason why. It was because of Hiruzen who must have told Kita imaginative stories that would paint Orochimaru in a bad light, exactly how most people saw him: evil, ready to reach his goals at all cost, emotionless, greedy of power.They were right, Orochimaru was ready to reach his goals at all cost no matter what it would take and who he'd have to get rid of, and he was greedy of power. Always wanted to master all techniques that ever existed even if it meant he had to steal people's bodies, control their minds, he was ready to do anything to become undefeatable. And to master all techniques would take years, if not his kinjutsu he was using to steal and live in the bodies of other people he might've been dead a long time ago.Before being forced to leave Konoha he had been doing that to protect his family, Orochimaru still assumed that as soon as he knows all techniques he would be able to defeat anybody in order to protect his family but others did not see it that way. For others, Orochimaru was a monster.When he had received a message that Chunin exams were approaching and they were to take place in Konohagakure he hadn't been able to resist but to come in person and pay his daughter a visit. He knew what his wife Manami, who was still indeed his wife as they never had got a proper divorce, thought of and considered him as. She was an ANBU captain and as far as his sources went Orochimaru knew Manami was already gathering information for the Konoha Police Force pertaining his arrival and she'd get them no matter as far she had to go, because Manami hated him.Additionally, after the battle of Suna where his people had been supporting their ally he had received a word of a fight between the granddaughter of Third Hokage of Konahagakure Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Itachi that was believed to decide the battle, as Akatsuki had retreated. After that Orochimaru gladly paid a visit to Suna's Kazekage and had introduced him to the plan pertaining to Konoha's invasion but Kazekage declined his offer. As the Kazekage said, he had considered Konoha Suna's ally and would've never attack an ally. Orochimaru had not been able to let the plan of his be revealed to anybody else, that was why he had had to eliminate Kazekage and three guards that had been accompanying him at their secret meeting. 'I will have so much fun,' he thought, thinking of upcoming Chunin exam. Anticipation was rising in him, eagerly he was awaiting the day he meets the person he was particularly interested in and that was no one else than Uchiha Sasuke. Moreover, if everything goes smoothly Kita might come along as well. I literally cannot wait.' ____________________________On her way to the hospital Kita stopped by her grandfather's office, she did not bother to enter through the door as others did but rather through the window. Hiruzen sat at desk, writing scrolls and paid no heed to Kita who knew that he was completely aware of her presence. 'I need two ANBU.' The Hokage's hand came to a halt in the middle of writing the sentence, the jiji blinked twice and bewildered, turned around to look at his granddaughter leaning against the frame of and standing in the window.'And I would give them to you because -?''Naruto's in hospital unconscious and is in danger. I've left him with Sakura to come here and ask you in person, I can't sit with him all the time.' Kita had explained.'And why is that? I thought he was your friend.' Hiruzen watched her granddaughter's reaction, first he saw anger on her face because of his suggestion that Kita was not taking care of her friend enough, because she wouldn't want to guard him by herself; that was how Kita had taken it, of course she had misunderstood.'He is my friend, but I have some things to do and cannot be there all the time,' she replied, surprisingly calm trying to not let anger take over.'Why would Naruto be in danger?''When I visited him I met this medic who's supposed to be treating Naruto, but there were two chakras in his body.' Hiruzen's pupils went wide in astonishment, 'Exactly. Two people in one body, it is possible.'
