The next morning we woke up, made and ate breakfast before putting our plan....into motion.
The three of us were to split up, but while the boys go together, I would travel alone and look for the other needed scroll, the earth scroll, by myself. We all stood outside the cave we all camped in, "Alright guys!, lets go and dominate!" Shizen yelled.
"Shizen, Fuhai and (Y/N)?" we heard a voice ask from behind some bushes and looked in the direction of the voice, while quickly taking our kunai out and readied our selves for battle, and when the owner of the voice appeared in front of us, we became more relaxed as we knew who it is....well sort of.
"An Anbu?.....w-what is an Anbu member doing here?" Fuhai asked, "i was sent by Anko, apparently you three were so distracted that you forgot to sign the consent forms" he said while giving us each a form, "now please sign them" he finished and we nodded before we started to read the forms.
<<time skip>>
The Anbu then took the signed forms from us and started to look through them all while saying "good, thank you....alright carry on with your exams, bye" he then disappeared, leaving only smoke behind after he said his final words while waving.
"That man is weird","It takes someone weird to say that....YOUR ONE TO TALK IDIOT!" Fuhai retorted to Shizen's comment, making the said boy glare at him . "Boys, we should go" i said and they nodded in response.
"Remember...we meet up again here before sundown and launch a light grenade into the sky if you need help, (Y/N), and we'll do the same" Shizen said as he gave the both of us each two light grenades, "Right!" we agreed and I jumped off into the trees leaving them to do their side of the plan.
<<<Time skip>>>
Two hours have gone by and I am up sitting on top a tree because I am tired of moving around and only to end up fighting giant predatory animals. The thoughts kept coming and going....but....."My,my what a young beauty we have here, you will truly are what I expected of their child" said a voice, echoing around me.
I took out my kunai and got ready for a fight while trying to find out where the voice came from. "And just like them, you truly are a skilled one I see" he said again, but this time the voice was behind we and I threw the kunai at the person only to have him catch it between his fingers before it hit the middle of his chest.
"Who are you?!" I asked, he then smirked and said "hello young Uchiha and Hyuga hybrid, my name is Orochimaru", my eyes widened at his statement "h-how did you-". "-How did I know that your an Uchiha and Hyuga....*giggle*...well that's for me to know and for you to never find out, child".
"What do you want?!" I hissed as I took out another kunai. "Nothing much dear.....I just want you to serve me.." he said, "oh?....and why would I do that?", "oh I don't know....maybe because I know your secret and you wouldn't want anyone else in the village to find out that you are the grandchild of shinobi who were thought dead?".
"Oh....you look like a snake and you are a snake too?" I said while smirking, he giggled and said "well....I guess you called my bluff", "didn't realise I was trying to". He then started to full out laugh and then said "well to be honest....I didn't come here for that, besides....it wouldn't do me any good to tell on you and your brother...but.." was all I heard before I felt a presence behind me. I turned around in time to block a kunai attack, "amazing, this generation of the Uchiha truly are skilled".
He then kicked me and jumped to the ground, a second before I fell on it. "does the ground taste good?" I heard him say. I jumped from the ground and distanced myself from him, "what the heck do you want?!". "A simple thing dear......I want to give you something" was what he said before I felt my body become heavy for some reason and I couldn't move at all.
I looked up at Orochimaru only to see him making some weird hand sign and then his neck extended towards me until his read reached my position and then I felt pain in my neck. "Ahh!!", after that my body was able to move as I felt a burning pain in my neck and I put my hand on top of the spot I felt pain and crumbled onto the cold, hard ground.
"Well, your reacting better, but remember if your body rejects it....you will die...hahaha....HAHAHA!-" was all I heard before, it all stopped and i lost consciousness because of the pain.
<<<<Time skip>>>>
I slowly opened my eyes, giving them time to adjust to the sudden soft light, only to see green in front of me and around me. I tried standing up to my feet, then I felt a stinging pain in my neck so I landed back onto the ground on my knees.
"Aw~" I groaned while holding onto the painful part of my neck, then remembered that snake man who bit me. 'I see, so he must be responsible, that man did this....the pain in my neck.....what did he do to my neck?' I thought, as I looked around I saw that I was hidden behind a bush and the light from the sun barely made it through it.
I then stood up weakly, as I did I saw that it was near sundown and I had to get back to my teammates. With all my strength I jumped up onto a tree and went back to our Cave.
<<<Time skip>>>
When I was close, it was past sundown and it was getting dark. I heard the others' voices from afar, and continued to jump from tree to tree. When I got there, i saw that they were squabbling again. "Hey guys, what's wrong now?" I asked tiredly as I jumped down from a tree, they both turned their heads looking at me as I walked towards them.
"Thank god!, your alright!!" Shizen yelled happily as he ran towards me, with Fuhai following close behind him. "Of course, I'm alright guys, why wouldn't I be?" I said while slightly pouting, "we didn't doubt you, if that's what your thinking. But you took quite a while to get here and we got worried when you didn't use one of the light grenades that Shizen gave you especially because it is getting darker and this forest is more dangerous at night" Fuhai stated.
I nodded in understanding and said "alright then.....i'm sorry you guys, I failed to get another scroll" sadly. The boys smiled warmly at me and Shizen said "you didn't, but we did" he said as he took out the scroll for show, I smiled when I saw the scroll we were missing. "That's great!, well done....and sorry that I couldn't be much help" I said while looking down.
Fuhai then put his hand on my shoulder, making me look at him,"It's okay (Y/N), you aren't mean to be great at everything, besides, you were alone and we were together" he said. "Thanks Fuhai, and Shizen" I said looking from Fuhai to Shizen, who simply nodded. And then Fuhai said "alright guys, now we should head to the Tower, before another team comes after us", "right" Shizen answered.
"H-hey....um....guys...could one of you carry me?....p-please~" I asked shyly, both boys looked at me in question causing me to sigh and explain to them what happened today. After I was done "I see..." Fuhai said, "wow you went through a lot, we just found some ninja and kicked their butts, haha" Shizen added.
"Well, Shizen, you carry her" Fuhai said, "huh?, not to say that I refuse, but why me?" he asked."Because I'm more observant and will keep us safe while you carry her and also, (Y/N) is very observant herself so she could warn you if she hears anything, we also need to avoid enemies and that includes the animals around this place, luckily it will be dark soon and the other teams with be resting,
but the problem will be the abnormally giant creatures of the forest. So that means we have to also disguise our smells so that animals who depend on their noses can't track us, so everyone roll around in those bushes and let's head for the Tower" Fuhai answered, and pointed to the bushes near us.
"Don't worry, I have examined them and they aren't poisonous" he finished.Me and Shizen groaned but did as Fuhai said and bathed in the said bushes, tying to make their scent our own.
After we did that, I got onto Shizen's back and we all went on our way through the forest to reach the centre of it where the Tower is standing tall.
