The Path of a Shinobi (Reader x various)

Encounter with orochimaru and kabuto

"I see you still have that potential strength and power (Y/n)." Staring at you with a wicked grin you hardened your gaze at him and Kabuto.

"Naruto." Glancing at him he nodded at you and you both created a few shadow clones. They all ran towards Kabuto trying to attack him and serve as a distraction while you and Naruto were planning the main attack. Once our clones were blocking his view we jumped up and knocked him down onto the ground. Kicking Naruto away he quickly grabbed his kunai and slashed you across the stomach.

Jumping away from him you knelt onto the ground clutching your stomach. The wound wasn't too deep but it still hurt. Tsunade's eyes widened at the sight of your blood dripping onto the ground creating small puddle. Placing a hand over your stomach you began to heal your wound.

"(Y/n), you and Naruto should stand guard of Tsunade while I take on Orochimaru. Who knows if you'll be able to take him on. Shizune can handle Kabuto."

You wanted to be helpful in this battle but you knew Tsunade was in a defenseless state at the moment and wasn't in any condition to fight. You'd protect her but if him and Shizune were in trouble then you'd join the battle.

Kabuto and Jiraiya Sensei were beginning to summon out their summonings. In front of us appeared two giant snakes that were hovering above our petite figures. And well.. Jiraiya Sensei didn't have much luck with his. He had managed to summon a small Gamakichi. Naruto had decided to try to summon Gamabunta but instead summoned another small yellow toad named Gamatatsu. Sweat drops appeared

Face palming at their attempts you decided you'd give it shot. "Summoning Jutsu!" Slamming your hand on the ground smoke had clouded their vision and once it cleared out there you were on top of Gamaken. Naruto and Jiraiya Sensei had a disappointed look on there face that they weren't able to perform their summoning.

"I'll let you use Gamaken for your battle Jiraiya Sensei." Hopping off of Gamaken you saw the giant snakes heading towards you all. Jumping up in the air you noticed one of the snakes had captured Naruto in its mouth.

"Fire style: Fireball jutsu." An enormous fireball was sent towards the snake's mouth and it let out a screech, allowing Naruto to escape. Turning around you saw Shizune lying on the ground with blood trickling down her mouth and panting heavily. Kabuto was walking towards Tsunade but before he could lay a hand on her you stepped in front of her with your arms extended outwards in a protective manner.

"You'll have to go through me first before you can even get to her."

"Fine by me. Let's see your skills before you die that is." A smirk appeared on Kabuto's face as he readied himself to fight you.

Closing your eyes you said, "The only one who's dying today is you." Instantly your eyes opened and revealed your Sharingan. Both of you ran at each other and were in a hand to hand combat. Evading each other's attacks you both kept on par with each other and landing some blows on him, not letting your opponent find an opening.

Kabuto began to infused chakra into his right hand resulting it to glow blue. Grabbing his right arm you twisted his arm around to prevent him from hitting you. He began to squirm around and hoisted you up, throwing you on the ground. Letting out a grunt you saw his foot coming down near your face and grabbed ahold of it.

"You're pretty skilled I can see why people have an interest in you." Glaring at him from below you thrusted his foot away from you and performed a water jutsu on him. While he was hit by your water jutsu your Sharigan had turned back to your (e/c) eyes.

My summoning had taken a large portion of my chakra but even so, I still have to keep going.

"It's not over yet (Y/n)." Eyes widening your turned around to see Kabuto behind you. He elbowed you in your stomach and coated his right hand in chakra. Hitting your right thigh you felt your right leg go heavy as you slouched onto the ground.

"I hit your femur so your thigh won't be able to function for awhile." He walked past you and stood in front of Tsunade. He was about to finish her off. Struggling to get up you used your strength to put most of your weight on your left leg.

"Stop!" Limping over trying to run to reach her, Naruto stepped in and took the hit in the forehead. At an incredible speed he began to form his Rasengan and aimed it at him but Kabuto sidestepped him and hit Naruto's thigh has well.

Time that I tried my Rasengan as well. Going behind Kabuto you held your hand out creating a medium sized Rasengan. Being distracted by Naruto you had made impact with his back. A low scream escaped his lips as he was sent crashing against a nearby rock.

"Nice hit (Y/n)!" Naruto ran over to you giving you a thumbs up. Smiling at him your face soon turned into one of agony. Clutching your neck you fell on your knees as you felt pain and power leaking from your curse mark. Orochimaru's presence here isn't doing me so well.

"Hey (Y/n) are you alright?" A worried and concern look was on his face as he held onto your shoulder.

"Yea I'm fine. Naruto you can take care of things for now I'll tend to Shizune's wounds."

"Right." Running over you kneeled on the ground and healed the parts where Kabuto had struck her with his jutsu. You'll have to be wary of his jutsu. One hit and he could potentially damage a vital organ. You'll even have to keep an eye on Naruto as well since he can be reckless.

"(Y/n) watch out!!" Turning around you realized it was too late. The giant snake from before had wrapped its tail around your body squeezing the life out of you. It had taken you face to face with Orochimaru.

"Your main concern should be me not her," spoke Jiraiya Sensei as he tried to approaching you but was stopped. While you were in mid air you could see an unconscious Naruto lying in the floor with blood trickling down his lips.

"It'd be a shame to kill you. What remarkable power I could acquire from you as an experiment for me. Now then...show me the power of the curse mark!" Feeling the curse mark spread you tried restraining it from taking over. Your body went limp as your head hung down low. Strands of your (h/c) hair had covered a portion of your face.

In a few second you lifted your head up and revealed your face. Half of your face was covered in black markings. The iris of your eye was now a dark shade of yellow with a black slit. The sclera of your eye had turned a dark shade of black.

Jiraiya Sensei stared at your new form with wide eyes. The snake had released its hold on you, setting you next to Orochimaru. Flexing your hands open you once again felt the same unbelievable power from the Forest of Death coursing through your body.

"This power feels...incredible." Maybe stumbling upon Orochimaru and receiving the curse mark was by fate to help you eliminate the Akatsuki.

"I might just reconsider my options..and possibly follow you Orochimaru." Looking up at him he had an amused look on his face but was still wary of your actions.

"(Y/n) I know you're not serious about it right?!" Yelled Jiraiya with uncertainty.

"Well if you're actually considering joining my side then you wouldn't mind me killing of that brat Naruto."

Giving him a blank stare you turned your head towards Jiraiya and stared into his eyes with serious expression.

"We eliminate them."
