[Orochimaru's Den]

Orochimaru cries in pain, he lounge in bed with his arms all wrapped up like a mummy. His breath is ragged and unwavering.

"My arms!" Orochimaru cried out

"Lord Orochimaru, are you okay? Quick, your medicine!"

Orochimaru darkened his eyes and massacre the man, blood splattered everywhere. The body thud to the ground as Orochimaru regain his composure. Kabuto opened the door and found the mess lay out in front of him.

"I just got back. Now, I have to clean the room. Please be sure to take your medicine, will you?" Kabuto pouted

"You know damn well. That medicine will do nothing for me, you simpleton!" Orochimaru retort back

"But I made it specifically for you. It should ease the pain at least, a little." Kabuto said

"This burning in my arms, I never imagine the suffering would be this great." Orochimaru said

"It was Sarutobi after all, the Third Hokage. This was his final curse." Kabuto said

"Enough of your prattling. Tell me, have you found the one I seek?"

"Yes. The trail lead to a place called Tanzaku Town."

"Tanzaku Town." Orochimaru lips curl into a sarcastic remark

"Lest you forget, your opponent's one of the legendary Sannin. This isn't going to be easy."

Orochimaru emits a dark chuckle deep in the back of his throat at the remark.

"The best medicines are always bitter." Orochimaru said

-------------------------------

You tap in your chakra and throw the three-prong kunai. You teleported but manage a short distance.

"At least I'm getting somewhere." You mumbled

You look at Naruto's lesson.

Jiraiya painted a swirl in the middle of Naruto's hand palm and unstrap his bracers.

"Take a look." Jiraiya shows his swirl hand palm to Naruto

"It's the same mark. I don't get it. How this is supposed to help?"

"You're the kind of kid who got yelled in the academy for the lack of concentration, aren't you?" Jiraiya asked

"I don't see what that has to do with this."

"Look at this piece of paper." Jiraiya said

Jiraiya open held out a blank piece of paper. Naruto look at it, not knowing what the lesson is about.
