Naruto: Neglected dragon heir.

Chapter Sixteen: Possible threats and prelims.

Arashi jumped from tree to tree within the forest of death, reports of Orochimaru being spotted by a fellow Shinobi, the brunette had one encounter with the snake Sannin years ago.

The encounter a non aggressive one, yet Arashi remember Hiruzen's words and regrets about not killing of his student who sought immortality. Just so he could continue his research, the look on his grandfather face spoke of untold horrors that he was to young at the time to understand.

Stopping near Anko, who was gripping her shoulder as Zabuza helped her up. "Let me see..." She was reluctant, "Ease up babe, he is a seal master... Higher then the ones in the village." Zabuza reassured her, Anko dropped her hand still gritting her teeth.

Arashi studied the mark, "Causing you pain?" She nodded, he touched it gently. Closing his eyes, 'Its unfinished, mixed with nature energy and that pedofile's Chakra. Linking them in away, seeking control over her mind. A way to keep her in line instead?'

"Sealing arts..." Arashi finger glowed, "Demonic suppression seal..." The brunette made a circle around the curse seal, "First I'm cutting of his connection to you... Hold her uncle." Zabuza nodded as Arashi added more Chakra into his own counter seal. Anki went rigded in the ex rouge nin's grip.

"Done, it's better then a evil suppression seal. This will cut of his influence, from what I've observed it's an incomplete curse seal. I don't want to know the results if it's ever completed... Did you fight him?" Anko nodded, Arashi sighed. "Uncle take her directly to Kiri, I'll investigate here."

"Sure, come Anko." She was confused, "He knows what he is doing, his grandfather told him about that snake. Kiri will scan your body of any underlining poisons and what damage that seal did to you."

"You know seals...?" Zabuza chuckled, "Enough to know what are truly dangerous all thanks to the brat.."

"This brat could end your life by not holding back, get her out if here."

"Tch, your getting cocky just because your mates are pregnant."

"Keep telling yourself that uncle, you know I can do it. You know I haven't unleashed my full power yet..." It may have sounded like banter, but Zabuza knew Arashi had yet to release a fraction of his power.

He took Anko out of the forest, "What was that?" The purplette asked her boyfriend, "Banter, but he is serious. He hasn't used his full strength, right now he is biding his time."

"For what? Is he a threat to the village?!" Zabuza scoffed at her accusation, "Arashi was taught to love Konoha by his grandfather. That brat would rather kill himself then harm the village. He's been through things no person should ever go through..." The ex rouge nin went silent after that.

Anko was curious now, but sensing this topic wasn't up for further discussion.

Arashi ran a hand through his hair, Orochimaru was in Konoha. The smell of snakes nearly all over the forest of death. 'What does he want in Konoha, Jiji had told me that he wasn't pleased when Minato was chosen as Hokage... Only motivate that he is seeking revenge.'

The brunette flickered out of the forest, towards his apartment. It was only two more days until the Genin were done in the forest of death.

"Did you find anything?" Kakashi asked, the brunette hugged him gently. "Yeah... But it would seem he isn't in the village anymore. The encounter with Anko made him flee, since his fight with her attracted unwanted attention."

The sliver haired Jonin leaned into his lover, "How are you feeling? I know neither of you will show until you give birth. All of you are showing normal pregnancy signs..."
