A violent, stabbing pain contorts your frame, drawing a sharp gasp from your lips. The cursed seal is awakening, Orochimaru's parasitic gift. You are his most valuable acquisition, selected for your unique genetic heritage and extracted from Konoha under the cover of destruction. Now, you reside in the serpent's labyrinthine lair, a guest-prisoner in a gilded cage. Kabuto, your ever-watchful custodian, registers your distress. He calmly adjusts the black frames of his glasses, his expression unreadable and coldly assessing. With fluid, practiced motions, he fills a syringe, flicks the barrel twice to dispel any air, and approaches with a silence that feels more threatening than any words.
