Chapter 1 Orochimaru

In a place known as Tanzaku Quarters which resides in the land of fire and is a fair distance from Konoha.

"Wow. How rare!" Shizune said as she cheers for Tsunade who have won her Third jackpot in a casino machine.

"This is a sign of a bad omen." Kin is a golden eye boy with red hair that turned found and raised as her student said.

"Yeah. How could I get Triple sevens?" Tsunade agreed.

"What's wrong? It's a miracle that you actually won this time. Why are you still unhappy?" Shizune asked.

"I have a bad feeling about this place," she said as she stepped out of the casino.

"Let's get out of here first."

"What? But this is a beautiful place we should explore the castle more and.." Shizune told Tsunade.

"Then let's take a quick look around and then get out of here as soon as possible," Tsunade said as she leads the way.

"I wonder why she is in such a hurry," Shizune said to Kin as she picked up a tonton. Tsunade's pet pig.

"...." Kin didn't say anything back to her.

"You know you can talk to others apart from lady Tsunade," Shizune told Kin.

"I own her my life." He replied like a robot as Shizune sighed.

"You know you should really open yourself to others," Shizune said as she runs after the two.

Then they arrived at the Tanzaku Castle but as soon as they reached the castle it collapsed as two people appeared among the smoke.

One of them has pale skin, Golden eyes but unlike Kin's eyes which have a black iris, he instead has slitted pupils, purple marking around his eyes and fang-like teeth. And he was accompanied by a man with onyx eyes and ash grey hair who was wearing black-rimmed circular glasses.

"That is.." Shizune said in shock.

"I have finally found you," Orochimaru said as he gazed at Tsunade.

"It's been a long time. Orochimaru." Tsunade greeted him.

"I have been searching for you," Orochimaru said.

"Now what do you want from me again? You're not here to talk about the old days. Right?"Tsunade asked.

"I have a small favour to ask you," Orochimaru said.

Heartbeats are not stable. The fatigued state continued and that arm.

Tsunade was able to figure out what Orochimaru wanted from one look at him.

"Tsunade sama. You should already know what is going on." Kabuto said.

"Find someone else. I've already resigned from medical treatment."

"We can't. You should already know how serious this wound is. As a medical ninja, who is considered the best in the world there is no one except you." Kabuto said to Tsunade.

"It's not an ordinary wound. Is it? Who did it?"Tsunade asked.

"I was careless when I was killing the third," Orochimaru replied which cursed both Tsunade and Shizune to change their expression from surprised to alert.

"You,"

"Hey. Don't make that scary face. Things will decay someday. Same with people. You should know too since the two people that you care about are dead." Orochimaru said.

Kin didn't know anything about the third or Tsunade's past but one thing he knows is that she is his benefiter so he should be ready to defend her honour. He thought as he readies a scalpel in his hands behind his back.

Tsunade and Shizune are teaching him basic medical knowledge for a few years that they were travelling together so he doesn't know any ninjutsu nor has any reason to hold a weapon in his hands so a scalpel is the best he got right now.

Kabuto noticed that he was reaching out for his weapon. However, Kin was unable to do anything as Shizune attacked Orochimaru with poison darts.

Kabuto was able to catch all of them as he stood in front of Orochimaru.

"Calm down Shizune. Orochimaru you are still the same old self. You know you should not have said that." She said as she smashed a wall nearby with her fist.

"Now I got to kill you," Tsunade said.

"We are not here to start a fight. We are here to negotiate." Kabuto said.

"You should have said that before. Go away." Tsunade said.

"Only you can heal him. Cant, we make a deal?" Kabuto said.

"I will count to five. So get out before I dragged your ass out." Tsunade said.

"Please calm down. Our offer is not bad." Kabuto pleaded.

"5 4 3 2" Tsunade started to count.

"I can make your brother and the man you love alive again with my forbidden Jutsu," Orochimaru said.

"....." Tsunade looked at him in shock as she stopped counting.

"We are not gone yet. Does that mean we have a deal?" Orochimaru asked.

"If I heal your arms what will you do after that," Tsunade asked.

"I don't like to lie so I will tell you what I want. I will destroy the leaf village from existence." Orochimaru replied.

"What destroy the leaf village?"Shizune said in anger.

"So your answer is." kabuto asked her.

"Tsunade sama. You cant listen to the offers of those liars. Your brother and uncle won't want this either. Are those the wishes of those two people? Your dreams. Your wishes have you forgotten about them?"Shizune tries to reason with Tsunade.

"I think it's better to let her choose than follow the wishes of the two dead people." kin told Shizune which caused her to lash out at him.

"You..."

"Thank," Tsunade told kin.

"We have a smart fella around you Tsunade," Orochimaru said.

"You don't have to answer now. However, we are hoping for a peaceful resolution." Kabuto said as he and Orochimaru left.

"Hey what's wrong with you. Are you seriously suggesting to Tsunade sama that he can heal the arms of a person that is trying to commit war crimes?" Shizune asked Kin.

"I am only here because she gave me a purpose in life. I owe her my life so I will try to repay her by any means necessary. Until then her priority is the only thing that matters." he said. Causing Shizune to realize that the person that is standing in front of her is not her ally or friend. But a person that will blindly follow Tsunade and do whatever she wants him to do. In other words, a man that thinks he is even less than a slave.
