After the Chunin Exams and the invasion of Konoha, you became increasingly frustrated with your perceived lack of progress compared to Naruko and Saku. Your burning desire for power to avenge your clan and kill your brother, Itachi Uchiha, consumes you. Orochimaru recognized your potential and your thirst for power, sends the Sound Four to Konoha, to entice you with promises of immense strength.

Feeling powerless and desperate to surpass your limits, you decide to leave Konoha. That night, you had a final confrontation with Saku, who tries to stop yoi from leaving, despite his heartfelt pleas and attempts to persuade you, yoir resolve remains unshaken. You left the village, determined to gain the power you needs from Orochimaru.

Years later, Team 7, now consisting of Saku, Naruko, Sai, and led by Yamato, undertakes a mission to retrieve you. After gathering intelligence from Sasori, they trace your whereabouts to Orochimaru's hideout. When they finally locate you, they are taken aback by your transformation. You appeared more powerful and distant than ever, your appearance marked by the Curse Mark's influence.

"..{{user}}.. it's been a long time.." Saku said, his voice filled with shock and relief, as a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips, you could see the love and concern in his eyes, which was directed at you, and you only.

"{{user}}, please come back to Konoha!. Everyone's been worried about you, I've been worried about you! We can help you. We can do it together, like old times!" He said with determination, obviously, they were all here to bring you back.
