  "I'll try to make it as painless as possible… Fare well." Orochimaru gazed at the sleeping form of his former friend/teammate for a few more seds and then turo a dark er of the room.

  "Bring her." Orochimaru ordered and a shadow disappeared from the er.

  As one his bodyguards went t Shizune, Orochimaru thought about the respohe Leaf vilge would take.

  'Tsunade's pet should no doubt reach the vilge by m or at the test noon. When sensei learns what happened he'll do everything he to look for me.'

  Orochimaru couldn't help but let out a small ugh. 'I could have stopped the message but where is the fun in that? It's much more eaining to know that sensei is squirming in panic. He'll know time won't be on his side. Fortunately for me, I've taken termeasures. He won't be able to get to me here. Now all I o do is wait for the results.'

  —-

  In an eerie dimly lit room the pained groan of a female could be heard.

  "Oohh…" 'What happeo me?'

  Shizune woke up from her sleep and slowly looked around. She immediately realized she was in an unknown area aeacher was nowhere nearby.

  'Damn it. It's Orochimaru…. Did he only kidnap me or… What's going on?'

  She was on the ground and moved her hands a only to find out that they were restrained with heavy s. The young medic looked around trying to find anything useful for her to use for her escape.

  'Not good. They took all my hidden ons and poisons. Moreover I 't bring my hands together to form seals and manipute my chakra.'

  She focused on her internal chakra and tried to increase the strength of her arms but it didn't show as. The medic took a closer look at the s holding her and noticed small seals on them. 'So that Snake also sealed my chakra. This isn't good.'

  Shizuurned her head and took note of every inch of the room. 'Ok. Looks like I'm in some sort of a dungeon with my limbs restrained and my chakra sealed. Ok think. What do I do?'

  As she was trying to e up with a pn, Shizune suddenly heard the door unlock. A figure she reized from the earlier fight ehe room and came near her. The person had light blue grey color hair with long bangs that covered one eye. The stra detail was the 2nd head hanging limply from the upper back of the person.

  "Who are you?" Shizune asked. There was anger in her voice.

  "My name is Sakon. One of Lord Orochimaru's trusted guards." Sakon spoke with a desding smile as he looked at the ed medic.

  "Where am I?"

  Sakon just smiled at the woman. "You have a lot of questions don't you? Well, I'm not here to answer any of them."

  He moved to the s restraining Shizune. He was about to release his prisoner but stopped and looked at the woman. "We have your sensei. So don't even attempt to grow a brain. If you do anything we don't tell you, both of you will die."

  Shizuilled hearing the threat. 'They have Lady Tsunade? No. This 't be…'

  Seeing that the young mediderstood her situation, Sakon proceeded to remove the s and in a few moments freed her. "Follow me."

  He turned around and began walking with a relut Shizune following him. "Where are you taking me?"

  "To your sensei. Now shut up and be quiet."

  Shizune was angry but she khe dangerous situation she was in. 'Do they really have Lady Tsunade? If they do then I o be more careful. I o find a way to get us out of here without them knowing.'

  Soowo reached a rge door and Sakon walked through followed by Shizune. She immediately froze upon seeing Tsunade restrained in a medical bed, asleep. She rushed over to help but a cold chilling voice stopped her.

  "Don't move."

  Shizuuro the side and saw Orochimaru's malicious gaze. His i and powerful presence was suffog to her. Sweat dripped down the side of her face as she looked at the Snake Sannin. But she mustered her ce and didn't back down. "What did you do to her?"

  "Nothing drastic… yet." Orochimaru spoke and slowly raised his right hand. Shizune saw a syrih a blue liquid inside and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

  "Hey what is that?"

  Orochimaru chuckled and moved closer to the sleeping Tsunade. "You'll find out soon."

  Shizune realizing his iions moved to stop him but suddenly she heard a strange melody and her body froze. She couldn't move. 'What is this?'

  It only took her a couple of seds to figure it out. 'Genjutsu. I o escape it.'

  She struggled and brought her hands together to disrupt the chakra flow. Shizu free but by then it was too te. Orochimaru had ied the blue serum into Tsunade's body.

  "What did you just do? What was in that syringe?" Shizune rushed sunade and looked at her.

  A few seds after the serum was ied into her, Tsunade began to experience pain. Even though she was unscious she was in agony. A pained groan escaped her lips and her body pulled the s tight.

  "It has begun." Orochimaru spoke as he looked at Tsunade.

  "What's happening to her?"

  "I created a serum using the first Hokage's DNA. But to stabilize and perfect it, I sunade. And that's also why you're here alive." Orochimaru replied and turned his attention to the young medic. "Tsunade's body is currently undergoing a metamorphosis. Her cells are beiroyed and recreated into something new. Her entire DNA is beiten."

  Shizune's eyes widened when she heard that. "But something like that… It will kill her."

  "Maybe. But that's why you're here. To make sure that doesn't happen. Now, your teacher needs you. Sihe process has started it 't be stopped unless it's either pleted or she's dead. So don't focus to e up with a pn to escape. trate on keeping her alive."

  Shizune gritted her teeth but she couldn't do anything against someone as powerful as Orochimaru. She immediately brought her palms atop Tsunade and used her medical diagnostic jutsu. Her palms glowed green and Shizune immediately found out what was happening to Tsunade's body.

  'That serum Orochimaru ied has already begun to cause biochemical reas within her cells. Her vitals are slowly beiic.'

  Orochimaru stepped bad kept a close eye on both medibsp;'Tsunade's cells will start to undergo rapid mitosis and differentiation soon but will it lead to wood-like structures within her body? I made sure to reduce the presence of yang chakra but what resent is still too much for an ordinary perso's see if you hahe power of the First Hokage.'

  Orochimaru looked at Tsunade's apprerying to keep her teacher from dying. 'Yes. It was an excellent choice to use Shizune. But it's a shame I'll have to kill both of them. If this experiment is successful I have no doubt Tsunade would be able to use wood style. Maybe not on the level of the First Hokage but her strength and chakra would definitely increase. She'll most certainly hold a grudge. I 't have that. Osunade's blood is stabilized, I hahe rest. At that time I'll kill them both. I'll dispose of Shizu Tsunade's corpse will be a valuable research tool. Kukuku…'

  While Orochimaru was scheming, Shizune raying in her heart. 'Please Tonton. Hurry. You're our only hope.'

  Leaf Vilge: March 21.

  Time: 6:00am

  Daichi and Kensei were at the vilge gates. The guards were verifying Kensei's dots and soon he was given the clearance.

  Daichi looked around and noticed that the patrol ninjas were fewer than st night. 'The Hokage hasn't pletely lifted the emergency lockdown but the severity has been reduced.'

  Kensei looked at Daichi and had a small grin. "It'll be a while before I get back. Try not to cause any is before then."

  "I'll make sure to keep my head down. I promise…" Daichi replied with a grin. But the smile dimmed. "Are you sure you don't want any escorts for this journey? Yoing to the Hidden Sand vilge…" He asked with a serious face.

  Kensei nodded. "I'm not that helpless that you o worry about me boy. I'll be fine. I'll return within two weeks."

  Daiodded and said goodbye to his grandfather. Kensei left the vilge and soon disappeared out of Daichi's sigh. He turned around and only walked a few steps before he heard a very familiar sound.

  "Oink oink."

  'What the… Is that…?' Daichi immediately turned around expeg to see Tsunade and Shizu was surprised to only find Tonton running straight towards him.

  'Where are the others?'

  As Daichi looked at Tonton he immediately noticed its panicked body nguage. His eyes narrowed and he immediately ran up to the little pet pig.

  "Oink oink oink…"

  "What's wrong Tonton?" Daichi asked, seeing the restlessness of the pig. He suddenly noticed the blood stains on its clothes and his eyes narrowed. He carefully examihe garments and quickly found a piece of paper safely tucked inside. He unruffled the paper as he read its tents he became shocked.

  "How the hell did this happen!?" Daichi unknowingly excimed out loud. He looked at the message written.

  Ambushed he border. Orochimaru plus 5 assaints. In trouble.

  The note taihe location and time of the attack but nothing more.

  'This is definitely Shizune's handwriting. And it's written in blood. She mustn't have had much time.'

  Daichi immediately opehe Mini-Map and tried to locate his sensei but it was of no help. 'Damn it. I 't fiher of them on the map. My map now shows most of Fire try but the fact that I 't find them… Did Orochimaru take them out of the try?'

  "Daichi. What is the meaning of this?" Hiruzen asked in a calm tone as he looked at the boy. He then noticed the pig in Daichi's hands and immediately reized it as Tsunade's pet.

  "Lord Hokage. It's Tsunade sensei. She and Shizune were attacked by Orochimaru." Daichi spoke without wasting any time.
