After a while of running. I finally made it back to my teammates. Jiraya was still laying on the ground inside of the cave I left my teammates in with a wet cloth on his face to help bring down his fever due to the poison.

"Tsunade," I said running over towards her.

"Orochi your back," Tsunade said happy to see me.

"Yeah let me mix up the herb then you can give it to him," I said crushing up the herb and adding water and began mixing it up into a liquid.

Tsunade nodded as she watched me mix up the herbs.

"Alright make him drink this," I said handing her a bowl of the mix up herbs.

"Got it," she said taking the bowl and opening Jiraya mouth so he could swallow it.

Jiraya started to breathe easily and the color was beginning to return back to his flushed face.

"He should be fine. Now we just have to wait for him to wake on up," I said.

'Hopefully, he wakes up in time before the second round is over. It already almost the fourth day and we still don't have the second scroll yet. It took me longer than I expected to get the herbs and to get back to my team. At least Jiraya was able to survive the poison while I was gone.' I thought resting against the wall of the cave.

"When do you think he will wake up?" Tsunade asked.

"I don't know might take a bit for the antidote to fully kick in," I replied.

"Right," Tsunade said.

**

After a while of resting Jiraya was finally starting to wake up.

"Ugh," Jiraya groaned.

"So you are finally waking up," I said.

"Teme," Jiraya said.

'Of course, he calls me that the first second he waking back up.' I thought.

"How long have I been out?" Jiraya asked.

"About a day and a half you passed on the second day around the afternoon right now it the fourth day. So I will say that it was probably a day and a half," Tsunade said.

"Yeah I will say that sounds about right," I said.

"What it is already the fourth day!" Jiraya shouted.

"Dobe stop yelling," I said.

"But it already the fourth day and we still don't have the second scroll," Jiraiya said.

"Relax we continue searching soon. You still need to recover from the poison dobe," I said.

"Orochi tight you still need to recover," Tsunade said agreeing with me.

"Alright," Jiraya said laying back down.

I heard a faint hiss and looked down to see Emerald. I gently picked her up so I could speak with her.

"Hello Emerald," I said.

"Hey, teme what with the snake?" Jiraya asked.

"Yeah, where did she come from?" Tsunade asked.

"Her name is Emerald and she is one of my summoning animals," I said. "She is the one who helped me get the herbs to heal you."

"Summoning I think I heard something like that from Sarutobi-sensei," Jiraya said.

"Yeah, his monkey named King Emma that he introduced to us," I said.

"That right. I remember that monkey he was going to teach us summoning after the chunin exams," Tsunade said.

"Yeah well I ran into her and a friend of hers gave me a summoning contract so I can summon snakes now" I replied.

"Cool," Tsunade said.

Jiraya just glared at me not happy I learned a new justu before him.

"Stop glaring at me dobe," I said rolling my eyes at his foolish behavior.

"Then stop trying to be better than me Teme," Jiraya said.

"Oh stop complaining," Tsunade said hitting Jiraya on the head.

"Ow," Jiraya said rubbing his head.

"What is she doing here?" Tsunade asked pointing the green snake wrapped around my hand.

"Right Emerald did you find another scroll for us to take?" I asked looking at her.

"No I haven't run into a single team yet," Emerald said.

"I understand there only 3 days left. So most of the team probably already got both scrolls and already made it to the tower," I stated. "The only option now is to head for the tower and try taking a scroll from any of the teams that are heading to the tower. We still have a chance to get a scroll," I said.

"Right," Tsunade said.

"Thanks for your help Emerald," I said rubbing Emerald's head. "You may leave now.'

"Your welcome Orochimaru," Emerald said. "Just summon me if you need anything," Emerald said disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"Alright let's get going we rested long enough. Jiraya should be able to walk now the antidote should be fully kicked in now," I said standing up.

"Yeah we should get going now," Tsunade said agreeing with me.

"Right behind you," Jiraya said.

So I and my teams walked out of the cave and began making our way to the tower.
