Hiya! So, another chapter huh? You can thank @asuka1920 for that! It's been a while since I wrote the story but I've got a little plan about what's going to come next :)
Also, from now on I might be quoting some random things from random series/games/movies etc. I'm sorry if you don't know them but it isn't that important, I just found it funny for Orochimaru's character :)
Anyways, enjoy!

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I ran over the hills and didn't know where I was going. Away, a voice in my head screamed, go away as fast as you can!

I ran all day long and stopped running when it became all dark and chilly outside. I stood still and looked around me. There were hills as far a I could see. I turned around to look at where I came for. There wasn't anyone in sight.

I started walking again, still didn't know where I was going. It was very cold and I was hungry and tired of the events of this day, so after a while I decided I could rest for a bit and go further tomorrow. I laid down on the long soft grass and watched the clouds move by. Shikamaru would've loved this, I thought before I closed my eyes.

As soft as I fell asleep last night, as fast as I woke up this morning. I had a bad dream, I was falling down and couldn't breath. It kinda reminded me of the genjutsu in the forest of death at the second Chunin exam.

I stood up and yawned. The sun was orange and very low so I mustn't have slept for long. My eyes were a bit blurry from the sleep so I winked a few times to help the blur go away.

There was a small bush nearby and under it was a small snake that slowly came crawling towards me. I watched it as it crawled past me. But when it was just a meter or so in front of me, it seemed as if it got bigger. Not that that's possible or anything.

Right?

But it grew really large and thick. And more important, it began taking another form, almost human! And just seconds later there was a man standing in front of me! Did the snake just became a man!?

"Who- who are you?!" I said while taking a step backwards.

"I am what's left.. Or, maybe I'm all there ever was." He said with a  misterious low voice.

"I meant your name." I said

"My name is of no importance" the stranger replied. "What about you? What is your true name?"

"Er-" I started but I was interrupted by another man that suddenly landed besides the first creeper.

"I thought we were just going to take her with us, Orochimaru-sama, and not standing here chit-chatting with her."

"Kabuto," Orochimaru said with his normal voice again, "Don't you see that this is important?"

"Since when is quoting Kingdom Hearts important? And if you're doing it, you should do it the right way;" Kabuto ajusted his glasses,

"first of all, you had to say 'do you remember your true name?' and not 'what is you true name', and second, you had to start with 'I've been to- AAAAHH" Kabuto was sent flying by Orochimaru.

"Ain't nobody got time for that Kabuto." He then started giggling, "Did you hear that Kabuto? I said nobody, hahah hahahah HAHAHAHA- uche uche uche, UCHE! Kabu..to! He..lp.. My.. pills......!"

I watched him run away to where Kabuto disappeared to.

After a couple seconds of thinking about what the hell just happend, I continued my journey.

After a day of walking and resting and a lot of hunger, I finally reached a little town. The sun was setting and colored the sky in a beautiful red colour.

Most of the shops were already closed but there was one supermarket that was still open. It wasn't big but that didn't care. I bought two little breads and ate them on a bench just outside the store.

While I sat there chomping on a piece of bread, I thought about what to do now. I wanted to go to a town and be able to live a good life there, but now with Konoha thinking I joined the Akatsuki, it suddenly wasn't so easy anymore.

I sighed. I knew what it was that my heart wanted. I just wanted to be in Konoha and life my live there, earning money with mission and having fun with Shikamaru and Kiba.

"Why did I ever leave?" I sighed. But yeah, I knew why I left, it was a good plan, but someone ruined it by telling I was in the Akatsuki. Who could it ever be? I looked at the red sky, I've never seen it this beautiful before.

"Hey Kabuto, do you know why the sunset's red?"

I looked at who said it. It was the weirdo snake-guy from before, I think his name is Orochimaru.

"You see," he started explaining. "Light is made up from lots of colours, and out of all those colours, red is the one that travels the farthest."

The other guy jumped beside him again. "Like I asked, know-it-all."

They both laughed. But all at once, Kabuto's face became straight again and he muttered, "Why are you dragging me into this too Orochimaru-sama!?"

Orochimaru started hopping and dancing and poked Kabuto in his cheek "Because you like it and you know it."

"Sorry," Kabuto said to me, "he has his good and his bad days."

"Anyway," Orochimaru became all serious again and pointed at me. "This time, we are going to take you with us!"

I jumped at the sudden change of events while a giant blue/purple snake came bursting through the ground and opened it's mouth to swallow me.

I dropped the bread and ran away down the lane. The snake came crawling towards me with incredible speed. It was right behind me now. I jumped on the roof of a building and could hear his teeth smash together in an attempt to eat me.

I unsheaded my sword and hit the snake right on the nose. It shook his head and tried to hit me with his tail.

I jumped of the building again and ran in the opposite direction.

Then Kabuto decided it took too long and came to me with a kunai. I dodged his serie of attacks and countered with a slash of my sword. I managed to hit his cheek and blood dripped out of the cut.

But my triumpf didn't last long, while I was busy fighting Kabuto, the purple snake got behind me. I only noticed him when he opened his mouth and his filthy breath found his way into my nose.

When I turned around, I was already being eaten alive..
