Shuffling.. Mumbling.. Rustle.. Rustle..

    'Hmm?' Mizuki rubbed his eyes groggily. He sat up and scanned the area in confusion. He blinked his eyes to get rid of the sleepiness. 'What woke me up?' He thought mystified. Just then he heard a voice start talking.

The voice screamed danger in his old experienced mind.

    With the quickness of a serpentine, Mizuki hid underneath his makeshift 'bed' as much as he could. He shut his eyes and held his breath.

    It was dark out, the sun had barely even peeked out from behind the clouds. It was as though time had stopped.

    "Why Jiraiya, and Tsunade, even. What a pleasure to see both of you again." The tone of his voice, however, sounded unpleased by the whole situation.

    Mizuki shivered in disgust. The voice sounded like an oily slimy snake going down your throat. He cringed at the mental image.
    
"Did the old monkey send you two after me again? He shouldn't have. I didn't know he cared that mu-"

    "Shut up!" A powerful female voice cried out. "You know he cares about you, you know it!" The ground shook in her rage.

    Mizuki peered from his hiding spot. By the sounds of it, all he knew was that there were only three people. Despite what he said he only saw two people, a long white-haired man, and a blonde-haired woman. The man had two purple stripes going down his face, and the woman had a diamond in the middle of her forehead. They wore the strangest clothing, but what would he know? He hadn't worn clothes in months. 'I've been saying that a lot lately.' He worriedly thought.

    And the other one was, wait.. he thought that he heard another voice, where did-

    A man with long black hair appeared in his line of vision, then suddenly disappeared and reappeared before the two other people. It looked like he was going to strike them.

    'No!' Mizuki couldn't have these two adults, children in his perspective, get killed, while he was still there.

    He pulled himself up from off the ground, and away from his hiding spot. Just as he was about to run towards them, he realized. 'What would I be able to do? I can hardly walk, as well as speak.'

    It was then that Mizuki felt anger at his so-called friend for killing him. For making him deal with a situation he may have never encountered. But he mostly felt anger at himself for being so understanding, so trustful. It awakened something in him he had felt only in the prime of his previous life. It was his bloodlust. The reason why all throughout his life people had been afraid of him. Why his parents disowned him and why his classmates had called him a monstrosity during highschool. That was also where he met his so-called 'best friends'. The woman who broke his heart, and the man who killed him.

    The chakra inside of Mizuki burst like a dam. He, however, had no idea what he was feeling. 'What was this indescribable feeling he felt?' But as soon as it happened, it just disappeared. 'Hmm, must've been a fluke, I should just calm down, and continue watching from the sides,' he told himself. 'Alright.'

     He looked up only to see the newly dubbed 'enemy', fly across the clearing, and onto the ground creating a crater.

    On the other side, the woman named Tsunade was posed like she had struck something 'hard'. Her face looked constipated. As if, the punch wasn't as hard as she had wanted it to be. The man next to her looked unsurprised. Looking as though he had been on the receiving end of those punches multiple times.

    'The 'enemy' must be dead by now.' As he winced. Only to be shocked when the body poofed and turned into a log.

    "Tch," It was said as though it was really a shame the person she wanted to hit, had turned out to be a log. "I just knew he wouldn't have been that easy to punch, but I just couldn't help myself." She muttered while she scanned the area in an attempt to find to him.

    "Come out, Orochimaru!" Jiraiya yelled with his hands around his mouth. "We don't want this to drag out any longer-" He stopped midsentence as he was kicked to the side. He flew two feet away then landed on the ground, and skidded to a stop, causing dust to fly everywhere. He then dodged as balls of fire were hurled at him. He glared at his assailant, getting ready to fire attack.

    All of a sudden, the fight had ended. A sound pierced the sky, making everyone excluding the 'snake guy' wince. And the man Orochimaru disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

    "'He's retreating, what a coward!" Tsunade thought with irritation. "We probably weren't even fighting him, he could've just been a Kage-Bunshin!" She punched the nearest thing in her fury. Which was Jiraiya?

    "Gah!" He flew into the sky and landed onto the ground hard.

    'Why is it always me?' He thought in pain. As he lay in his self-created crater he started talking. "Well, he was always the smart one, you, on the other hand, had more muscle-" He was cut off when she punched him again. This time in the stomach, creating a much bigger crater.

    As Jiraiya writhed in pain, Tsunade got up and started walking.. towards, Mizuki.

    'Gahh! What am I going to do now?' Mizuki thought in horror. 'I'm in no shape to handle her right now, not with how she beat that other guy up. Nope. Nuh-uh.' He thought silently praying he wouldn't be found. His wishes were unfounded when he found himself being lifted up, by two small strong callused hands. And suddenly he was staring at her face.

    "Jiraiya, come here."

    Groan~

    "Now."

    "Fine, fine." Jiraiya got up, and soon he was next to her, albeit in slight pain.

    "I felt a strong chakra signature coming from this spot earlier." She looked at Jiraiya, and he looked back, though he was slouching with phantom pains. His eyes were serious.

    "We'll take the kid back to Konoha. Something tells me that this isn't just a normal kid." She said in a no-nonsense tone.

     "Alright.." He said. He straightened his posture, as he took Mizuki into his arms.

    'Konoha? Where is that?' Mizuki thought, staring at them both.

    "We need to report this incident to Hokage-sama." They both nodded to each other before taking Mizuki away from his 'home'. Little did Mizuki know that was when his adventure began.

Chapter 4 - End.

I'm sorry for being so late with an update. I don't have any excuses, other than I had no idea how to write a fight scene without it being bad.

   
Here were my thoughts on the draft. Many I didn't use.

Thoughts:
