The Cloaked Figure is...

Non-Tournament Match

Orochimaru Profile

Orochimaru is one of the three legendary ninjas of the leaf country. These legends are so powerfull that even the Elite ninjas of the village are advised to not engage them under any circumstances.

He taught himself a lot of forbidden Jutsu's, one of which he uses make himself immortal. Like Jiraiya ,one of the other three legends, Orochimaru can do Summoning No Jutsu, but instead of summoning Toads, he summons Snakes of any size.

Orochimaru is always using the "Curse Seal" on people. He used it on Sasuke, but only so that Sasuke would seek him out and work for him, or maybe so Orochimaru could steal his body and have the Sharringan for himself. The Curse Seal is a appears as a small symbol on the back of the victim and becomes active whenever they use their charka.

The Curse Seal works like this: small symbols start to spread all over the victim's body and it forces charka out of their bodies. This makes them lose control and they become evil; mad with power. But when they regain control the small symbols start to go back into the main symbol on the victim's back.

Kakashi was able to seal the Curse but the seal only works if Sasuke wills it to. If he loses hope then the Curse will break free and consume him; turning him temporarily evil.

The Cloaked figure is...

(Outside of Sasuke's hotel room window)

Mysterious Person: "Yesss sssleep well my pupil."

Suddenly several shuriken ninja stars stab into the cloaked figures back!

Kakashi: "I don't thinks so... Orochimaru!"

Kakashi doesn't have time to gloat because a few seconds later he feels the blade of a kunai rub against his throat.

Orichimaru: "Ssstill too slow Kakassshi. Jussst asss alwaysss."

Kakashi: "How did you get behind me?! And more importantly why are you here?!"

Kakashi turns around to swing at Orochimaru but he jumps safely away.

Orochimaru turns into his more human form.

Orochimaru: "I came to make sure that Sasuke was still in one piece. I can't have my heir being killed before he can succeed me."

Kakashi: "Sasuke won't be joining you any time soon. I sealed the curse seal you put on him personally!"

Orochimaru: "Fool! I know Sasuke's type. He would accept the most evil of power if it was the difference between winning and losing."

Kakashi: "You're wrong! Sasuke has changed! I have seen it! Besides now he has his friends for support!"

Orochimaru: "You mean the Nine-Tails brat and that girl with the large forehead?! Sasuke doesn't truly care about them. He would leave them in a second for the power to destroy the one he has sworn to kill."

Kakashi: "I won't allow you to get any nearer! You will die first! Even if you are one of the three legendary leaf village shinobi!"

Kakashi charges up his hand for his lightning blade technique. But just as he takes a step forward Orochimaru looks him straight in the eyes. In the black pupils Kakashi sees an images of his headless body laying on the ground and his lifeless head resting near by. This is too much for Kakashi.

Kakashi: "Bluhhhh!"

Kakashi falls to his knees and throws up on the ground.

Kakashi: "I thought I could kill him?!?! Am I that foolish?"

Orochimaru: "Did you forget why I am one of the three? My ultimate fear technique caused many deaths while I still lived in the village."

Orochimaru turns and begins to walk away but then stops.

Orochimaru: "And Kakashi. Don't tell anyone that you saw me here. I want to keep it a secret untill I choose to reveal myself. And if you do I will destroy this stadium and every one in it!"

What!?!? Even Kakashi thinks it is foolish to stand against Orochimaru! Is he that powerfull?!? Find out later on in the Anime All-Star Slug Fest!
