[In Naruto?!] -- Older Version of Dérive.

| 19 | Orochimaru Strikes |

(sigh) I haven't even taken a proper break...again. Meh (shrugs). Oh, Kami rewatching the part where Sasuke fights Orochimaru isn't that bad. Although it's kind of lame and I don't really like it that much :L No offense to all those people who like that part. Bleh. I don't even know why I'm still watching it. I mean Team Seven is going to be mentioned in this slightly, and I might have to change the story plot a bit.

*SPOILER* [Name]-chan here may be just as strong as Sasuke.

LET US CONTINUE.

"W-who in the world are you?!" Sasuke exclaimed, grunting as he eyed the scroll that was thrown into the air, before landing back onto the stranger's palm.

"Watashi wa Orochimaru..."

The ravenette's eyes widened as your words from earlier on replayed in his head.

"Sasuke, if you meet a guy named Orochimaru in the forest - you've got to promise me, don't let him bite your neck, got it? He's a dangerous guy and if he gets your neck..."

He hesitantly grunted, struggling against he paralysis jutsu that was placed on him.

"If you think you want to meet me again, desperately run to the top of this test," 'Orochimaru's' voice pulled him out of his thoughts as he managed to move his arm.

"The Scroll!" Sakura gasped, as the two genins watched on as their scroll was burned with green flames.

"Defeat the three Oto nin under my control," the man continued as the ravenette slowly moved his other arm.

"You're not making sense at all!" Sakura exclaimed, while Sasuke was solely focusing on covering his neck. "We don't want to see your face ever again, got it?!"

"That won't do," the man chuckled lowly, suddenly executing a hand-sign.

Sasuke's eyes widened as the man's neck extended to the point where it could rush over to the ravenette in less than a second, and he forced his arm up as it was slowly trailing to cover his vulnerable neck.

"You're mine, Sasuke-kun!"

It was already too late for said male. Orochimaru's fangs pierced through his skin with ease, halfway through [1] before a glint caught the man's eye. He quickly withdrew, neck rushing back to normal size as a kunai speedily cut through the air, lodging itself into the tree branch.

"KORA!"

The three (well, one was currently squinting while holding his neck in pain) people glanced towards the voice, Sakura immediately smiling in relief while Orochimaru frowned slightly.

"Orochimaru! You're going up against me, next!"

Said man chuckled. "Oh? And who are you, girl? You seem to know my name. But I don't know yours."
