The first thing I became aware of when I came out of it was a sharp pain wrapping about my neck and my arm. It felt like thousands of sharp pinpoint knives pricking into my nervous system. It was like I wasn't even in control of my body. I had this deep urge to rip and maim whatever was in sight moments before.
Then I realized Sakura was holding me about the waist and she was crying, begging me to stop.
What had just happened?
The last thing I remembered was coming across that freak in the forest shortly after Naruto went god knows where. I could feel the bloodlust rising off him. I had only felt murderous intent like that once before in my life and you don't know what it's like to be scared shitless until you do. It was literally paralyzing. I found my legs glued to the spot and I could not move at all. Sakura was shivering and she couldn't even stand, it seemed. I knew I had to move, but I couldn't. I had to break whatever sort of genjutsu or whatever it was that was holding me. My Sharingen flared and I willed myself to grasp my kunai and drove it into my leg, before using my speed to sweep up Sakura, just in time.
We didn't stand a chance. The only choice I had was to offer up our scroll. We could have easily acquired another two scrolls that we needed over the next four days anyways, afterall. But then Naruto showed up, calling me a chicken shit. It's like that idiot didn't realize the situation he was in, but maybe he was right. What was I doing, trying to hand over the key to passing this exam? Surely, if I couldn't take him down alone, the three of us could, right?
Well, this guy had no problem getting Naruto out of the way. I don't know what he did to his stomach, some sort of seal thing. But this was no time for hesitation, I went into action.
And then I promptly got my ass beat. Things were on the up and up for a while, until that bastard dove his fangs into my neck. What is he? Some kinda vampire? The pain was so intense and I saw before I passed out was my former self, telling me that it was all my fault they died, because I wasn't strong enough.
The last thing I heard was his voice telling me to seek him out for power.
Orochimaru.
We are resting now. My fists are clenched in the dirt and it hurts to move. I'm no stranger to pain, but seeing how this is an exam, we have to take percuations and stay out of sight, because we are in no shape at the moment to take down other teams.
Apparantly I did quite a bit of damage to that sound team that was attacking us when I woke up, but don't remember any of it, other than the urge to cause pain. We atleast got their scroll of the Earth, as a "gift" from them, which basically means "take this and please don't kill us." Whatever.
So, who is Orochimaru?
