'Its so pretty out here' you thought to yourself as you were walking in the woods. You liked walking alone in the woods because you needed a break from the village often. You liked to think a lot. One thing that hardly left your mind was the night Sasuke left. You and Sasuke were close before he left. Maybe you had a crush on him still or maybe you didn't. You weren't sure as you hadn't seen him in so long.
As you were walking you heard something. *Crack* You could tell it was a twig being broken but you weren't sure what had broken the twig. Could it be a person? An animal? You look over and see a little fox. You didn't feel scared of it but you decided it was better to stay away from it.
You kept walking for a bit then came up on a structure. Someone walked out infront of you so you stopped right where you were and got ready to quickly pull out a kunai. You always had some kind of weapon on you as you couldn't be sure what would happen
"No need to be afraid. I'm not planning to hurt you" The person infront of you said. You weren't able to distinguish their features well but you could see they had long black hair.
"What do you want from me?!" You were pretty scared because you hadn't had this happen to you before. There were so many risks at hand too. You thought of most of them already.
"I just wanted to come ask what someone like you is doing all the way out in these woods? You know this part is dangerous don't you?"
"Everyone knows this part can be dangerous. I just hadn't had an issue before this. I'm probably going to leave though right after this conversation" You had already been warned many and many times
"Now now. Why leave so early? I figured we were just getting started"
"Started with what?" You got more tense and scared
"I just started gathering information" This person looked at you like they were insane.
"Who even are you?!"
"Well I'm Orochimaru" You get a bit more tense as he said his name. You've heard many things about him but you didn't believe anyone but then you remembered something.
"Orochimaru? Wait. You're the one who Sasuke went to train with aren't you?" While Sasuke didn't take you with him he let you know who he was leaving the village for. You weren't supposed to tell the village and you hadn't
"That's right. He's still here too. If you would like to see him" Orochimaru starts smiling.
"No thank you..." While you did want to see Sasuke you couldn't trust this random person. Not only that but the village needs you and you can't trade them... Right?
"Hmm alright then. That headband. You're from the Hidden Leaf Village aren't you?" Orochimaru says as his smile drops
"Yes. Why?"
"No reason. I'll be seeing you soon" Then after that Orochimaru disappears. You didn't know what he meant by that and you didn't know if you should tell the village.
When you got back home we went inside your house for the night. You got dressed in your F/C pajamas. You laid down and listen to some music then fell asleep
The next day you woke up and there was so much chaos. You got up quickly, got ready, and ran outside. Everyone was fighting and you hadn't understood why. You guessed someone attacked the village and you started fighting. You were a pretty good fighter and many people took note of that
You knocked a couple people out and then tied them up. Then you looked over and found a couple answers to a few of your questions. Orochimaru was trying to take down the village it seemed. That's what he meant the other day when he said he would see you soon. You now wish you had warned the village sooner
Sai comes over to you and checks on you. You're bleeding a little bit but you tell him you're alright. You and him take on some people but he ends up getting knocked out. You run over quickly to him but you stop once you notice that Sasuke is the one who knocked him down.
"So you're my replacement? How pitiful" Sasuke is looking down at Sai and he's using his chidori. He's ready to strike Sai
"Sasuke? What are you doing?!" Once you say this Sasuke looks back at you and just stares at you.
"Y/N it's been so much time and that's all you have to say?" He looks a little bothered by what you said to him
"Well... No but you're attacking my teammate! I have to stop you!"
"Do you really though?" Sasuke says while he's slowly starting to smirk
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Tsk" Is all he says before he vanishes
You run over to Sai and see what damage has been done to him so far. Nothing too bad but you still take him to a medical ninja. While waiting to see if he's alright you're sitting there thinking about what Sasuke said. Then you see Sasuke standing in the distance looking at you
You decided to walk over there and when you got there he looked you up and down
"I knew you couldn't get rid of me" He says smirking at you. You're confused as to what he means but then he grabs you and pulls you close. You start to blush.
"I don't understand why you're with this pitiful village" Is what he says before pulling you into a kiss
You guys kiss a bit and he pins you to the wall and kisses your neck. You didn't know he felt like this for you but you were happy that he did. You guys spend some time together as you had decided to walk off from the village. You weren't leaving completely but you went with Sasuke rather than helping your village fight.
After about an hour of you hanging out with Sasuke you guys come back and the battle is almost through with. Your village looks almost completely destroyed. You rush over there to make sure everyone is alright but you left Sasuke behind.
You see some of your friends being taken by Kabuto as him and Orochimaru are laughing. There wasn't much you could do but you remembered that you had left Sasuke. You figured you were going to get in trouble for not being seen during battle but if you were going to get in trouble you figured you might as well make the best out of it so you ran off again to find Sasuke.
Once you found Sasuke you apologized to him. Months go by and everyday of those months you and Sasuke hang out. One night as you were sitting in your room alone you thought to yourself
'Am I a traitor too?'
