(Splash... Splash...)

Kimimaro: "Uhum..."

(Kimimaro slowly opens his eyes and looks around.)

(Snap...)

(He immediately takes out a bone from his arm and turns it into a knife.)

(Kimimaro warily searches for the intruder.)

(Bonk...)

(Izuna slaps Kimimaro's head.)

Kimimaro: "Aww... That hurts."

(Kimimaro yells in pain.)

Izuna: "Yo! Kid. You fine?"

(Izuna lowers his head to look at Kimimaro.)

Izuna: "So kid, you fainted from physical and chakra exhaustion? How are you feeling now?"

(Kimimaro stretches his hands and legs and checks his body.)

(He doesn't feel any exhaustion and fatigue anymore.)

Izuna: "Kid, you were out for half an hour. I healed you. Also, what's your name, kid?"

(Izuna curiously looks at Kimimaro's reaction.)

Izuna [in mind]: 'I never expected to meet Kimimaro here. Kimimaro has quite the potential, but sadly he dies because of an unknown disease. Like, come on... what kind of deadly disease are spreading throughout this world?'

(Izuna activates his Sharingan and inspects Kimimaro's body.)

Izuna [in mind]: 'Hmm... I can't see any signs of disease for now. Maybe, he will get it later.'

(Kimimaro silently stares at Izuna, who is inspecting him from top to bottom.)

(He resolutely clenches his fist and bows before Izuna.)

Kimimaro: "My name is Kimimaro. I am a member of the Kaguya clan.... Than... thank you for saving my life... for me... for me... you are a God who saved me from the darkness."

(Izuna is startled by Kimimaro's sudden reaction.)

Izuna: "Wait! Hold on! I am not any God, I am a human just like you."

(He picks up Kimimaro.)

Kimimaro: "Sob... sob..."

(Tears flow from Kimimaro's eyes as he wipes them and continues.)

Kimimaro: "I was trapped in endless darkness... slowly waiting for death... when I was close to death... I prayed to God to save me... and then... and then... you came and saved me... so... so you are God in my eyes."

(Kimimaro tears up and hugs Izuna's legs.)

Izuna: "Don't abandon me. Please, I will do anything you will ask me to do. I will become your weapon... tool... whatever you ask of me."

(Kimimaro sobs silently as he pleads.)

Izuna: "This..."

(Izuna scratches his head as he thinks about what to do with Kimimaro.)

Izuna [in mind]: 'To be honest, Kimimaro's life in Naruto wasn't that great. His clan locked him up in a dark cell. Orochimaru used him as a test subject and then as a vessel. Finally, he died because of his disease.'

(He stares at the pleading eyes of Kimimaro.)

Izuna [in mind]: 'Humm... I am looking for some members to recruit in my organization. If I train Kimimaro, then he can turn out to be a perfect member of my organization. His Kekkei Genkai Shikotsumyaku is a watered-down version of Kaguya's Kekkei Mora 'All-killing Ash Bone' similar to Byakugan and Sharingan. If I train him properly, then his Kekkei Genkai has too much potential... that's it... it's decided then.'

(Izuna turns to Kimimaro.)

Izuna: "Good... you are free to follow me. I will personally train... but remember... my training is quite hard... so make up your mind."

(Kimimaro clenches his fist in resolve and nods his head.)

Kimimaro: "I am ready for any kind of training. I will put my heart and soul in the training."

(Izuna nods his head.)

(He stares towards a cliff and smiles.)

Izuna [in mind]: 'I see... this snake was involved in this matter. But now that I have my sights on this kid; he can only return empty-handed.

(At the top of the cliff.)

(Orochimaru clenches his fist as he angrily stares at Izuna.)

Orochimaru: "Damn you! Izuna Uchiha. Why are you interfering in my matters?... I can't fight against him, I am not his match for now."

(Orochimaru takes a last glance at Izuna before retreating.)

(Izuna turns to Kimimaro and nods his head in approval.)

Izuna: "Good... I like your resolve. I am Izuna Uchiha from the Uchiha clan."

(Izuna makes some hand signs and taps on Kimimaro's forehead.)

(A small Fuinjutsu seal appears on top of Kimimaro's forehead.)

(Kimimaro accepts the seal without any resistance.)

(Izuna raises his eyebrow as he questions Kimimaro.)

Izuna: "Aren't you curious to know... what kind of seal I placed on you?"

(Kimimaro shakes his head and replies.)

Kimimaro: "No! I will never doubt my God."

Izuna: "..."

Izuna: "Sigh..."

(Izuna sighs and answers him.)

Izuna: "This seal will change your chakra signature. I am on a mission in Kiri, so we will have to infiltrate Kiri. It will help you hide your presence from Kiri sensors."

(Izuna makes some more hand signs and taps on Kimimaro's forehead.)

Izuna: 'Transformation Jutsu'

(Poof...)

(Kimimaro's appearance changes entirely.)

(Izuna takes out some clothes from a scroll and gives them to Kimimaro.)

Izuna: "You can use them to change your appearance. They are my clothes when I was your age. For now, wear them. I will buy you new clothes later."

Izuna: 'Transformation Jutsu'

(Izuna changes his appearance to that of a merchant.)

Izuna [in mind]: 'I will infiltrate Kirigakure as a traveling merchant and probably open a temporary shop.'

Izuna: "Let's go."

(Izuna signals Kimimaro and both of them walk towards Kirigakure.)
