That was it wasn't it? The thing that bothered me the most about the slimy Sannin, he was me gone wrong. Orochimaru's story was not anything new but neither was my own. Born a genius, held on a pedestal and saw success everywhere. Then something happened to change them and they went on to do great or terrible things. This story scheme was as common as it got and I knew that the only thing stopping me from going down the path to terrible deeds was myself. People like to think that they were responsible for the actions of those around them but it wasn't true.-

The only actions one is truly ever responsible for are their own, Orochimaru alone was responsible for the way he turned out as those choices were his alone. Teachers give knowledge and time to their students but how that was used was the students choice. I understood this and accepted it but my sensei was not the same. To some degree she felt responsible for the way Orochimaru turned out and even now felt responsible for myself as well. Don't get me wrong I was happy to have her as my sensei but that didn't mean I wasn't aware of why she took this role.-

"Let me guess the old man called you specifically to become my sensei just so I didn't turn into the snake right?" I asked and she looked ashamed.

"No need to look like that it's only to be expected after all. "Once bitten twice shy" I believe the phrase goes. Orochimaru turned into a vile person and no one close to him seemed to realize it until it caused irreparable damage to the village. Obviously when a child who shared so many similarities appeared you all wouldn't want to risk repeating the mistakes of the past. But I can assure you that I have no intention of turning into anything like that man. Feel free to see for yourself in time." I said calmly before leaving the woman to her thoughts.

Both of them were wise and practiced the chakra manipulation with shadow clones like I did since failure had some nasty consequences. Full body stage five cancer, multiple organs, too much blood and a few other fun conditions were all possibilities. Unlike myself who could sense the way chakra moved within a body these two didn't have this privilege and needed step by step molding instructions from me AFTER they got the yin-yang ratios correct to pull it off. There was a lot of deformed shadow clones during that month before they managed to pull it off a single time.-

My sensei asked me if she could at least tell report the jutsu to the village even if I wasn't going to share it since it definitely qualified as a forbidden jutsu due to it's cost and effects. Konoha had very strict policies in place about forbidden jutsu so while I was VERY reluctant I agreed. It came as no surprise that we were summoned back to the village days after that report was sent. It took time for the information to reach the village and then return after all. We were at the border of the land of fire and hot water when a dozen masked black clothed shinobi ambushed us.-

It was early in the morning on a overcast sky that shaded the tall grass and trees around us and we all leapt away when the first senbons(needle-like throwing weapon) came straight towards us.

I stretched out my senses and frowned "Twelve all with chakras comparable to Shizunes." I reported and my sensei and fellow student both had stern expressions.

"Twelve Jonin level shinobi, someone really doesn't want us to leave this place. If I'm right at least one of these shinobi has a way to shoot down your hawk as well." Tsunade said seriously as the twelve ninjas stepped into view with emotionless eyes staring us down and weapons in plain view.

"This is a capture unit, look at the weapons. Not a single thing meant to kill but nets and senbon for crippling and poisoning." I said seriously and my sensei looked grim.
