Reaching Immortality (book two)

Chapter 4. Orochimaru's Parents are useless

"Haize" Orochimaru's once mother said as she sat on a bench looking at the koi pond in the back yard of Orochimaru's home.

Haize looked up from the fish he was eyeing and blinked at the beautiful woman he'd been friends with since he ended up in this strange world.

"Kianna." He responded curiously. "What's up?"

"You think the snake pedo has any plans for us?" Kianna asked worriedly. "He hardly speaks to us, and usually leaves during the day for whatever he does with Minato."

Haize hummed, a habit he picked up from being around Orochimaru so much. "I don't think he has any plans for us. All he does is try to train us with that stupidly hard training plan then leaves us to our own devices."

"Right." Kianna sighed. "I hate training."

"Training sucks." Haize agreed.

The both of them were growing increasingly bored living in this new world. Sure the chakra was fun to play with, but the training, and the inability to talk to anyone had ruined any fun they could have had. Their original excitement for being in the Naruto world was gone.

"This is still so surreal for me you know? I still can't believe we're actually here in the Naruto verse of all places." Haize said with a disbelieving frown as he looked around at the beautiful training grounds behind their house. "It sucks that we can't just talk to anyone either with everyone speaking that weird language."

"It's not really Japanese is it?" Kianna mused. "I used to watch all dubbed before and Japanese doesn't sound the same as whatever language is here."

"No, it's something different. I just don't understand it at all. I managed to pick up a little bit since we've been here but not enough for a conversation."

Kianna sighed once more then got up and went to sit by her friend by the pond. She had a phone in her pocket but no idea how to work it since everything was written in a kanji that didn't match what she had learned when she had been in Japan.

She'd learned hiragana and katakana since she'd been preparing to live in Japan before she was suddenly summoned here.

She also still found her new body to be uncomfortable.

It just wasn't what she was used to. She'd lived fifteen years as an overweight boy with a anime obsession to suddenly being forced into a grown woman's body in the Naruto Universe.

At least it was a body that never got fat no matter how much she ate. Could also be the killer training she was made to do everyday.

"Naruto graduated today." Haize said conversationally.

"Cool," Kianna said half heartedly. "I wonder if Kakashi will be his sensei?" Kianna wondered.

"No it's Obito." Haize shrugged. "This place is way too different from the anime."

"I still don't get how Obito is here instead of off being a villain with Madara and Zetsu."

"I still don't get how Orochimaru is still here being a Konoha nin instead of creating his own village in rice country." Haize added.

"Or why Minato is still alive, and still Hokage. Doesn't Naruto kinda seem similar to Boruto though? Minato and Naruto just argue all the time, and it seems to always revolve around Orochimaru."

"Well Orochimaru is really pretty for a man. I wonder what his parents looked like." Haize hummed.

Kianna shrugged. "Who knows? Why does him being pretty have anything to do with Naruto and Minato arguing?"
