If he could be honest, you were the perfect weapon he ever created. You were perfection, what he wanted to create. With you, he accomplished it, so despite the years he couldn't help but feel disappointed that something as pitiful as this almost ended you.

Orochimaru glanced around the room, so many visitors. So many of your so called friends came to see you. Tears glistened, even if they tried their best to make themselves strong.

Hinata, TenTen and even Ino were shedding tears. Ino and TenTen out of guilt, TenTen didn't particularly said a proper goodbye. In fact, she had been the one responsible that you had left two years ago, so she had a reason to be guilty.

As for Ino, he wasn't sure why she would feel guilty. Either way, she didn't matter. Sakura, of yes, the perpetrator, was no where to be seen. How... Shameful of her, not to visit the very person who saved her daughter's life.

No one spoke, only watched and sat around in hopes that you would start to heal and wake up. There was no sign of chakra signature, but Neji had mentioned that there was just a small flickering of it there. Slowly dissipating.

Kabuto, with a glare on his face directed to noone in particular, walked out of the room. Orochumaru walked out, following him curious as to what he had hiding under his sleeve.

"What do you have planned?" Orochumaru asked as he got closer to Kabuto.

Said male sent him a single glance and continued to make his way to the orphanage. "It makes me furious that they are just assuming that she's going to die. She's still alive, and they're all just waiting for her dead, crying... Wasting their time when they can do something."

An amused smile stretched on his face. "They're not capable if helping her, as much as they want Kabuto. But you haven't answered my question."

Orochumaru was not wrong, but it still made him furious. Sakura, Sarada didn't even have the decency to visit you and thank you. "It's a matter of time before her brain stops working, if that happens all her organs will stop functioning. Right now they can't do anything about it, but I'm sure I can work on something to at least stop the bleeding and keep her organs working until I find a better and solution."

"Well," Orochumaru began, "she's surprisingly still alive. I'll help you, I have nothing better to do." Kabuto didn't protest as they left the hospital. Someone had to do something instead of just crying and lamenting of what happened. Besides, they were the only ones with the knowledge and power to do something to help you.
--

You've been inside that thing for a few months now, those men, Kabuto and Orochumaru managed to keep you alive this long. But other than that, they couldn't find a way to cure you.

But they were not given much time either, with...How things are right now...He supposed it was understandable.

How pitiful it was to see your...Body inside that thing. Was it that simple to kill you? Was it really that simple? Even now, you were still so vulnerable that he could end you right here and right now. It was as easy as to breaking that tank, it was all that would take to kill you.

But, that was not his order as much as he wanted. After he left and talked to his clan, they had been rather intrigued by this pest of a human. They wanted to see how truly special and powerful you were. They wanted to see how they could use you, but for that they needed you alive. Unfortunately, he arrived rather too late.

Now though, a small tube filled with a red liquid was wrapped with his fingers. They trembled as he struggled to just break it, but it wasn't given to him so that he could just get rid of it.

Besides, you were still alive and... Maybe he could try to still do something and see why his clan members were interested in a human like you. Why had it changed? Were they not supposed to get rid of all humans?

Either way, he looked around the small room until his gaze landed on a large needle. He saw that man Kabuto use it, it was inside a trashcan. But he didn't have the time not patience to look around for a clean one. He walked to it, picked it up with a gesture of disgust and then walked back to you.

He filled it with that blood, he wasn't sure who it belonged to, nor that he cared, and then placed the needle into a tube that was connected to your neck. He paused, and moved to smaller tube, one that was connected to your wrist, and then he injected the blood in the tube. The red liquid traveled down the tube and then into your wrist.

Then he watched as your body began to convulse, your naked body clashing against the glass of the water tank. That was for a few minutes until your body relaxed and for a moment he got the expression that you had died.

But no, your eyes snapped open, and glanced around in panic until they landed on him. He noticed how your eyes narrowed, and your eyes furrowed.

That was not what captured his attention, he wasn't sure if it was something he imagined, so he got closer to the water tank and focused his eyes on yours. Now it was him that married his eyes, and furrowed his eyebrows.

If this was what they expected then they were not wrong. You were able to adapt, to cling to power, and made it your own. What he didn't expect was for that small change, he didn't expect that at all.

You began to remove the rubes connected to your body, your eyes remained on him. And then, he had to take a few steps back as your chakra began to surround your body and soon, the glass shattered.

Your body was sent to the floor alone with the water, you tore the mask from your nose and mouth. Gasps left your lips, your body trembled as you were still recuperating.

This was all he needed to see, his mission was done, and he needed to report back. What could they have planned for you? That thought remained on his mind as he banished from your sight.

As for you, you were sprawled on the ground, trying to remember exactly what happened and where you were. Once that was sorted out, you attempted to stand up but your legs shook, and it took several falls before you managed to completely stand up.

Now that you were able to walk, you looked around for something to wear, because you couldn't just walk around naked. The only thing you managed to find was a lab coat, bit it was big enough to cover your entire body.

As you recollected your memories a d what happened right now, you were shocked and worried. Why was he even here? Why did he help you?

Maybe you could find that later, for now your focus was to find someone, maybe even a friend of yours because as you looked around the room...And just how silent it was, it was a bit... Worrisome.

But the more you walked towards the exit, the more you realized that something was definitely not alright. The light was still on, but if there was dust everywhere, it only meant that it has been a while since someone was here.

With a heavy heart, just thinking the worse, you opened the door which lead you to a narrow hall. The lights flickered as you continued forward. Once you managed to open the last door, it was then that you realized that you were ok some kind of underground facility.

However, what had your heart race in fear and panic was the sight in front of you. Buildings were destroyed, there was silence despite still being early, and not even the sound of birds could be heard.

With widened eyes, you tightened your grasp on the coat, and ventured out only to find more destruction. Where the hell were you and what the hell happened?
