Project Nagini

Part 2

"This is the Leaf Village," sneered Nagini as she gazed at her surroundings, "It's tiny." The village was a mish-mash of colorful houses and buildings, with the largest, the Hokage's, stood up. She saw many people, some big and some small wandering the streets. There were children laughing and playing, parents working or shopping, and many more people, some ninjas, walking around. The village was surrounded by a vast and circular wall.

"I know, but there are skilled shinobi here, like your brothers," said Kabuto watching Nagini, hoping she wouldn't snap. "That Sasuke is the ideal vessel for Lord Orochimaru, but Naruto could get in the way, Naruto had immense chakra, I mean, he has the Nine-Tailed Fox inside him after all."

"What?" asked Nagini, frozen with shock, so there would be three Jinchuriki's here. Kabuto was silent, all he did was flash a wicked smile.

The smile made Nagini tense as she walked into the village, leaving Kabuto, he knew that the only reason that she agreed to come was that she would be in the same team, Team 7, as her brothers. He had told her to keep her mind on the mission, to help Sasuke live through the Curse Mark, and destroy the Leaf Village when given the signal. They were partnered with the Sand and Sound Village, and the Sand Village would be sending their Jinchuriki, Gaara, to participate.

As she walked around Konoha, the happy smiles and affection that radiated through the village unerved her and made her want to kill veryone. Nagini had only grown up in the dark dungeons so she didn't know what love was, what life was. 

She saw a blur of messy yellow hair race past her, and bumped into her.

"Oops, sorry about that!" he yelled, look back to see who he had bumped into. Nagini's breath caught, the boy was Naruto.

"Naruto, get over here already!" yelled a pink haired girl. She was wearing a red dress and had sparkling green eyes.

"Coming!" shouted Naruto, he turned back to look at Nagini, "Want to come? Kakashi sensei told us that someone new was joining our team today, I can introduce you to my friends."

"Why?" asked Nagini. She was going to say no, but that came out instead.

"Because I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I like meeting new people and befriending them," smiled Naruto, "And I have a feeling that we'll be good friends."

Nagini blinked. He was also a Jinchuriki, so why were they so different? He was also supposed to have lived a life of being condemned just like Gaara, and she had seen how it had made him. Gaara hated everyone and lived only for himself. So, if Naruto had lived that life why didn't he turn out like that? She was pondering those questions as she ran after him.

"Naruto, what took you so long you loser?" grumbled the black haired one.

"Nothing, Sasuke" panted Naruto, "I bumped into her on the way and she wanted to come along." Naruto pointed towards Nagini.

Meanwhile, Nagini was frozen. The black haired one was Sasuke, her other brother. She was staring at him until he started to glare back.

"Hey, you! What are you staring at?" he hissed.

"Nothing," mumbled Nagini, forcing herself to look at anyone else. She looked at the pink-haired girl.

"Whats your name?" asked the girl, "I'm Sakura Haruno."

"Nagini Uzumaki," I replied. Naruto froze and turned to look at me.

"Y-You're an Uzmaki to?" he asked.

"Yep," I frowned, "didn't I tell you?" Naruto shook his head.

We stood there in awkward silence until their sensei, Kakashi Hatake, arrived.

"You're late!" shouted Naruto and Sakura.

"Sorry, I got lost on the path of love," said Kakashi, "Now, lets get started about the matter of our new team member." He froze, looking at me. "Well, that makes things easier! Team 7, welcome your new team member Nagini Uzumaki!"
