Meeting A Snake

Some people may wonder "Hey if you are in a novel then how can you still do updates?" To answer that it is quite simple just think of shadow clones. Part of my soul is put in the novel and the other part is inside the 'clone' who continues the story. Now back to topic.

You know I think I said it before but let me recap that being in a novel or anime SUCKS! You never take into accounts things when you read or watch these things. Like you don't take into account what the characters feel at all times. For example scent, killing intent, the feeling of blood splattering on you. I felt all that on my first mission with the Anbu. I was stiff scared of the rogue ninja coming at me. Killing intent is suffocating like gravity increases around your body. It is cold like being shoved into a lake frozen over with ice and having your head pressed down so you struggle for air. My only thought in my mind was one sentence repeating over and over 'I'm going to die!' it clouds the mind making me forget that he couldn't even kill me. I held up my kunai at the last moment and by luck I pierced through his stomach while moving to the left.

You know as long as you aren't a psychopath killing someone for the first time is horrifying. I knew I had to do it so I struggle against the nausea building inside me while he was stunned to slice his throat with my other kunai. Blood rained down on my small body. Hot, steamy blood. The scent of copper was strong on my nose and I watched as the man showed terror and despair in his eyes while he fell to the ground life leaving his body. I ended up throwing up on the spot as I sank to my knees. I honestly don't recall how I ended up back in the village.

Something inside you breaks when you kill someone, even in self defense. You never forget it. The mans face as he died haunted my dreams for days causing me to wake up in a panic covered in sweat. The second time killing is almost just as bad and the third but after you kill enough you begin growing numb to it all. Soul becoming tainted to the point that when you do kill again you feel nothing to it. I think that this happens when either one you are a psychopath or two your body kills off those emotions as self defense since those emotions will start to erode your health if they keep building up.

So yea it sucks. When you watch the show it's colorful, the character are funny, and of course there is great action but not many people die, at least not where you can see it most of the time. So next time you think 'I wanna be in the world of so and so' Just remember that place is different from where we are. Naruto has death everywhere because the most popular job is being an assassin (which a ninja basically is), One Piece pirates pillage and rape, Toriko the food can actually kill and eat you, Bleach invisible monstrosities can kill you before you know what is happening. Just want to let you know it isn't as fun as it is made out to be I think Attack On Titan is the most real and no one wants to go to that world because we all know it.

Ok enough with that monologue back to the harem stuff. If I remember correctly Anko should be around 14 maybe? Kurenai should be 17 or 18 around this time. Anko should have a place near the forest of death um... I don't really know where Kurenai is. Well I will leave it to chance for now. But first the hot springs!

I hid my mask in my room then head out the window heading to the public baths. I like going to the public baths here because the water is very refreshing and because, as a child, I can 'sneak' peaks at women and get away with it. Well today i won't do that since the women are on high alert due to that d*mn Jiraiya being here yesterday. Well whatever.

Stripping down I jump into the male sides hot spring, it was deep enough for me to do so, only to come face to face with a sleeping snake! I quickly back up and cough out some water, I didn't really think anyone else would be in here at this time. The man sitting in the water raised his brow while looking at me. "You shouldn't jump in like that kid" I look up at the mans face. He is quite handsome but... Why do those eyes look familiar? "S-sorry sir..." Well time to play the child again. Having my head down looking downcast giving off the semblance of a puppy that was punished "Alright just don't do it again. To make up for almost injuring me help me wash my back" Oh yea this is a japanese culture so helping wash the back should be common I think.

I swim over to the man getting behind him I rubbed the loofah on his back while trying to remember where I seen those eyes. Suddenly I drop the loofah as it hits me. 'Oh sh*t! Those are Orochimarus eyes!' You know I heard he sometimes snuck into the village after he left because he had a sort of partnership with Danzo but he is actually here! "Oui why did you stop?" I quickly think of an excuse "Ah just I was thinking your back looks really good and strong. Your skin is nice too... I am all soft and squishy" I once again look downcast the man chuckles "Heh but soft things are easier to eat~" I feel a shiver down my back. 'F*ck! I really am not ready to talk to Orochimaru!' "Thats true! I love eating pudding and it is squishy!" 'Yep just keep acting like a child Drake.' "Kukuku" the man laughs and I go back to scrubbing him "Here kid let me wash your back too" 'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!' still not wanting to anger this crazy b*st*rd I go to the front and sit on his lap

"Don't worry kid. I think you will grow up to have muscles like mine one day" I giggle stupidly "Really! Thank you mister hehe I like your eyes" I decide to give him a compliment well it is true I did like Orochimarus eye. "Kukuku" he chuckles some more while rubbing my back with the sponge "Why are you hear by yourself kid? Shouldn't your dad be here with you?" I grunt 'Yea don't you kill my dad just before the chunin exams?' I put forth crocodile tears "I-i don't have a dad or mom... I was left at the orphanage..." Orochimaru rubs my hair with shampoo "That's sad kid but I know how it feels to grow up without a family"

'Oh yea Orochimaru lost his parents early didn't he' "Really? But you look so strong!" 'Damnit Drake! I know you have to act like a child but stop pushing it!' "heh well you can grow up to be strong even without parents" He pours water over my head "Maybe I will take you away when you get older" Myself giggles a bit *Inner Drake facepalm* Orochimaru gets up and dries off "I gotta go now kid. I'll probably see you when you grow up some more" he then heads out and I release a sigh of relief "Oh thank you Gods! I really don't want to become an experiment subject after just coming here" But maybe I gained some luck after running into him because something very fun happens shortly after~
