Naruto: Katsumi

Does he know something that I don't? If he didn't, he couldn't have known what his master wanted wasn't a big thing.

"Then why won't you just tell me? It's kind of obvious that you know something about it. " I inquired as I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

I waited for an answer from him. But all he did was glanced at me with an expressionless look in his eyes and said, "You'll only know from Lord Orochimaru.

"

That was really getting to me. It was funny that he would misbehave when he was around me, but would act like the server of a prince when around with Orochimaru.

Not only that, Kabuto would tell me to show more respect to "Lord Orochimaru" because 1) you simply had to. And 2) I would end up like one of those suckers in prison for his experiments.

That was something to laugh about because I highly doubt that would happen to me. First of all, Orochimaru was aware that the only reason why I was here in the first place was because of Sasuke, so he knew that I carry no respect for him; if he hurt Sasuke in anyway, I wouldn't hold back to rip his head off.

Secondly, he made a deal with Sasuke that he would never touch or attack me in any particular way for his needs or else Sasuke would either kill him or take me away somewhere else and never look back. And lastly, I was simply not as gullible and weak as the rest of those prisoners.

So I was safe so far. However I was hoping that Orochimaru would do something to me that Sasuke wouldn't like so we could pack up and leave.

But Sasuke was determined to achieve his one and only goal. It was simply out of my hands.

"Here we are…" Kabuto suddenly announced quietly, standing in front of the fancy double doors.

He opened one of the doors and moved aside to make a way for me. "After you…" He offered with fake generosity.

Without any reply, I walked through the doorway and into the big room. I could easily hear my footsteps from a mile away as they echo across the entire space.

With the echoes, I could tell that another pair of footsteps were following suit meaning that Kabuto was right behind me. I halted in front of a big, throne-like chair which one person was seated comfortably on it with a dangerous look in his eyes and a devouring grin on his pale white face.

It was none other than Orochimaru. I couldn't help but look at the fact that he couldn't take his eyes off of me.

The feeling was very awkward.

"So you've finally come, my dear. I thought for a second there that you declined my little invitation.

" Orochimaru mused in excitement as he licked his pale lips with that long tongue of his.

"My apologies, Lord Orochimaru. She was so lost in the lair that it took me a while to find her.

" Kabuto apologized respectively as he bowed his head.

Why was he apologizing for me anyway as if it was his fault? Four eyes was so fake, it wasn't even funny anymore.

"No matter, now that I have you here right now, I need you to do me a favor. " He hummed as he played with a kunai knife between his fingers.

"What is it you need this time?" I asked in bore, cupping my hands on my hips.

He saw my annoyance with the situation I was facing as he chuckled lowly. "I simply want you to pack up some medicine and a first-aid kit that would last about a week.

" He said with that scary smile of his.

That offer really left me confused. Why does he want me to pack up some medicine and a first-aid kit for the week? Was he going on a long mission for his experiments? If that was the case, it would sort of make sense since he had more than one hideout.

But the one thing I wouldn't take away from him was the fact he was incredibly strong. Plus he was "immortal", so it doesn't really add up as to why he needed this favor.

"Why do you specifically need me to do that? Why won't Kabuto do it since he has served you for God knows how long?" I asked carefully but hardly because I wasn't in the mood to piss off one of the Great Sanin.

I was taken aback when the sight of his grin disappeared in a second on the comment I just made. I wasn't sure what was going through his mind, but I knew he was no longer messing around.

Apparently he really wanted me to do this.

"You're right, I could just ask Kabuto to do it for me. However, it isn't for me you see.

" He claimed with his smile returning to his face.

Now I was simply lost. If the kit wasn't for him, then who?

"It's for your older brother, Sasuke. He's going on a special mission for me and he would be gone for a while— a week at the most — and he doesn't trust Kabuto at all, knowing him.

I would assume that he would only accept something that's from you. " He briefly explained, clearing my curiosity.

So the kit was for Sasuke then. Made more sense.

"What is the mission?" I couldn't help but ask because I wanted to know the details and the possible dangers in it.

"Unfortunately, that remains as classified information, my dear. But don't worry, it's nothing dangerous that could kill him.

Besides, Sasuke is much stronger than you could ever imagine. " He hummed in glee as his tongue waved around as if it had a life of its own.

That was true, Sasuke was much stronger not only physically but also mentally. What was also true was that he doesn't trust Kabuto one bit even though he seemed to be okay when he was around.
