Chapter 9: Closure of the Sannin Showdown

Chapter 9: Closure of the Sannin Showdown

A/N: I know some of you are like, "What the hell is that moron thinking?" but please allow me to clarify any misconceptions you may have about some of the plot, characters, and their motives.

I think I'll just mix them together and let you draw the picture from there:

Orochimaru- Orochimaru hates Konoha because of how after all the good and all the praise they gave him as a Sannin, in which he helped to win two wars, just about everyone in the village turned their backs on him for his experiments. The only ones not to hate him were; Tsunade and Jiraiya, but Tsunade had left the village at the time. Jiraiya stayed his friend because, unlike everyone else, he knew Orochimaru was using these experiments to help deal with his pending fear of death. When the persecution of him and his character became so bad to make him leave the village Orochimaru, in anger, swore he'd burn the village to the ground and build on its ashes. He swore he'd make a better village where a person is judged by the good they do, and not the few evils they commit. Jiraiya tried to stop him, but Orochimaru's mind was made up, so Jiraiya swore he'd protect the village because innocent and precious people, like his student at the time Minato, were still there. Orochimaru and Jiraiya then began their 'game' of chasing after their dreams and one another.

Orochimaru, at some point during this time, overcame his fear of death, but had grown to like playing the big bad villain of Konoha. Jiraiya told him that he could be somewhat of a double-agent protecting Konoha from the outside and making it look like he was being evil at the same time. Orochimaru liked the idea of messing with the people of Konoha so he joined the Akatsuki, since he knew they were hunting Jinchuriki. Around this time Itachi Uchiha had become a member and Orochimaru attacked him; thinking he'd be upping his villain reputation by killing the Uchiha clan murder and eliminating a real threat to the village. Itachi, thinking Orochimaru wanted his eyes like the rumors said, went into Orochimaru's mind using his Sharingan and saw what Orochimaru was really doing, but not before he cut off the man's hand.

Itachi and he then had a talk and both were annoyed with the fact that neither was any true threat to the village. Itachi proposed that they, at separate times, return to the village just to keep them on alert in case of real threats, since both were powerful enough to escape the village. Orochimaru liked the idea, so he returned to terrorize the village, and Anko, every three to five years. He even told Jiraiya that he'd do it under the pretense that he wanted Sasuke and that he was planning the destruction of the village. Jiraiya liked it, and Orochimaru let him catch wind of the Invasion he was planning.

During his battle with Jiraiya last Chapter the two spoke of Naruto and Sasuke and Orochimaru began to think of the future more than his fun with being evil. He resigned to have Sasuke trained as the new Snake Sannin since Jiraiya had already began Naruto's training in the Toad ways. Orochimaru has come to realize that when he left Konoha he was bitter, hated, and hunted, and that he didn't want anyone else to experience that if he could help it, so he formulated a plan… which you'll find out about later.

Kakashi- Kakashi was on a mission while Naruto was made the Fifth Hokage. Once he got back, the next day, he was overjoyed that one of his students was made Hokage, and the youngest ever Hokage at that; though he didn't get to enjoy this for long as he found out that Itachi Uchiha was in the village. Kakashi tailed Itachi until it came to a battle, which left him with so much mental pain that it hut to move about physically. Once he was resting in his bed he actually put serious thought into Naruto having been made Hokage. He knew Naruto could do it, but was concerned with the boy's lack of experience in dealing with politics and other mentally stressing situations.

It was long before his friends came to visit him with news that Naruto and Jiraiya had set out to find Tsunade to heal him. He was very glad to hear that, but was still pressed on his thoughts of Naruto being Hokage. He made the mistake of messing up his words and his friends took it as a lack of faith in the Fire Daimyo and Shinobi Council's decision of having Naruto as Hokage. Later on he reflected over what was said when his friends stopped visiting him. He wanted to slap himself, but the pain of lifting his arm was good enough. He reviewed what was said and then thought out what he actually meant by his words, or what he missed in his sayings. He decided that as soon as he was healed that he'd track down Naruto and set things straight while also finding out what really happened during the Invasion with Gaara.
