Sasunaru - The scorpion king

Chapter 1

It was a perfect day. The sky was clear with a little bit of clouds, the birds were singing happily in the apple tree beyond the forest. Giggles could be heard as two little boys, one raven headed and one blond, ran around in the village playing tag with their friends. Adults walked about minding their own business, as they laughed together, had little conversations near the food stands or on the peaceful streets. "No fair, Sasuke. I had you the last time. You're supposed to be it!"

Screamed the little boy with golden blond hair that puts the sun and gold shame. His sea blue eye flair with childish rage as his tanned soft skin turned red with anger. Three whisker like marks adored his cheeks as he puffed them out like a balloon. The raven head now identified as Sasuke huffed and crossed his little arms. His midnight black eyes casting his family's trademark glare towards his young friend.

His flawless pale skin began to turn red as he too was angry with his little friend. He quickly smirked and with arrogance that was ever lasting, he said "It's not my fault that you are too slow Naruto." He stuck out his tongue as the little boy now known as Naruto fumed. He stomped his feet, throwing a little tantrum. "YOU TAKE THAT BACK. YOU CHEATING AND YOU KNOW IT." Their friends looked between the two and rolled their eyes.

"Troublesome." Muttered one lazy by nature, Shikamaru Nara as his best friend Choji all but munched away and agreed with him. He sighed and looked up to the clouds as if they were more interesting than the bickering between his friends. "Hay guys could you please quit it and let's get on with our game." Yelled a little dog loving boy, Kiba Inuzuka as his trusted canine companion, Akamaru barked in agreement.

"Shut up dog breath." Both Sasuke and Naruto yelled at the dog lover. Glaring at him for a moment or two before they went back to their bickering. A sigh escaped a paled eye boy as he crossed his arms and shook his head. A little scowle plastered on Neji Hyuuga as he watch the scene before him. "As always, Sasuke, will always upset my beloved Naruto." Hi scowl deepened as Sasuke called his beloved Naruto an idiot. Gaara, Shino and Lee just remained quiet. The day went on peacefully as the little boys continued to play and the beautiful day continued on. Sadly not everything could stay as beautiful.

Sound of galloping could be heard throughout the forest, as a woman with long red hair flowing into the wind rides her brown horse to get away from the danger that followed her behind. Tears threated to escape her light blue greenish eyes, as she tries to force away the terrible incident that occurred in her village.

She's been riding for hours Small whimpers could only be heard by the woman, she quickly glances down to her youngest son's golden blond head as she tightens her hold on the little bundle in her arms. She looks back up and tries to focus on the path ahead. Trying so hard to keep her tears away.

More horses could be heard from the distance and the only thing the woman could do is hope for escape. Sadly fate was not looking her way as an arrow pierces through her horse's neck. Sending her and the bundle in her arms flying through the air and crash on the ground below. She screams in pain as her horse's body lands on her legs.

"Mother no!" Cried Naruto as he scrammed up as fast as he could to try and help his mother. "No! Don't come any closer, Naruto. You must run, get away from here and get as far away as you can." She panted out. Naruto shook his head and grabbed his mother's hand. "I want to stay and help." He said with tears rushing down his face.

"I know my beautiful baby boy, but I need you to run..." She tried to push Naruto away. Naruto fell on the ground with a soft thud. He looked at his mother with wide blue eyes, silently begging her to get up and run, for he knew whatever's behind them was no good.

He had seen it all before this mess, but no adult believed him saying that it was just a nightmare. By the time he had told his parents it was already too late. "I need you to be strong for me. Can you do that for me?" Naruto nodded, salted tear run down his tinny scared cheeks. He hissed as the salty water mixed with the wounds he had received from the fall as they quickly began to heal.

She softly smiled him. "Head on north and run to aunty Tsunade and Uncle Juraya. There you will be safe. Always listen to them and eat your vegetables. Will you please be a good boy for me as I know you always are?" The sound horse could be heard from the distance. "Go!" She said.

Naruto shook his head and grab a hold of his mother's arm. "Mother no..." He cried. "Naruto, go before it too late." "No! I'm not going without you. Please...please get up...please come with me...please I need you." He begged her, pleaded with her.

"Go! Naruto, I'll be right behind." Naruto shook his head. "For a five year old you're very stubborn." She concentrated a little bit and pushed him gently. "Run! Just promise me you'll live for the both of us." Naruto stared. "Promise me, my love?" Naruto got up and ran as fast as he could.

He wasn't far away from his mother when three arrows we're shot before his feet. A man came running and grabbed a kicking and screaming Naruto. "Let him go." Screamed the red headed woman. As sicking laugh was heard as the horses came to a stop.

"I must say it was quiet fun to play the cat and mouse game." Said a deep villainous voice that came from a pale skinned looking man with long black hair. His yellow eyes with a snake like pupil looked between the struggling mother and the screaming child. He licked he lips in anticipation. "Let him go, Orochimaru." Growled out the red head woman. The man chuckled.

"And why would I do that. Hmm Kushina? You should be happy. I would never touch a single golden hair on your son's head. His main important piece for my success." He said as he pat Naruto's little head. Then he smiled wickedly grabbing the boy by his chin and forced him to look at his mother. "But first, let's break him shall we."

Two soldiers grabbed the Kushina from under the horse. She shrieked in pain as was roughly placed on feet. Both the soldiers held her arms tightly as a third moved towards her with a blade pierced her heart. She gasped and Naruto stopped all movement and watched in horror.

Kushina looked at her son with one last smile and mouthed 'I love you' before her last breath passed her lips. Naruto shook his head in disbelief as Orochimaru laughed evilly, when Kushina's body hit the floor. "MOTHER!" Was Naruto's last word before he was knocked out cold. "Get him to the palace. That boy is a stepping stone to my success." Said Orochimaru with an evil grin on his face.

I know Orochimaru is more of a snake person, but who else would fit the part better than the man himself. Please comment and like on your way out... until next time bye.
