What if? Naruto is raised and trained by Konoha's S-Rank missing-nin legendary Snake sannin a.k.a. Orochimaru the Mad scientist, how it will change Naruto's nature? Will he become cruel and cold person? Will he become mad scientist like orochimaru? Will he remain prankster like before? What influence will Orochimaru do on Naruto? Warning : 1. Story is gonna be slow, quite lot of initial chapters are around training arc (ex. first chakra training, basic ninjutsu training, basic weapon training). 2. There will be lot of killing, massacre and lot gore (maybe). 3. No harem, also not much romance either 4. This Naruto is not going to be op from starting for long time, he will gained his power and experience through hard work, his journey will start from weak to strong 5. I haven't read Boruto Manga, no offence but I watched Boruto anime and i didn't like it very much, so probably there will be no Boruto plotline. 6. Our Naruto is going to be battle maniac like his original ancestors Uzumaki and Senju clan members 7. Plot will mostly stay same as original (with slightly changed and some different new characters). What to expect :- 1. Lot of training 2. Lot of original arcs (with slight change) 3. Smart and cunning mc Disclaimer :- First i don't own Naruto and it's characters (except original characters that i will create) PS :- it's my first fanfiction that I'm writing, I'm hoping it will turn out well and good. All reviews and criticism are welcome. English and grammar will be fine, i will try to create good dialogues and scenarios.

“You will have to do everything that says in this house as long as you are still living under my roof,” Mr. Gabriel Everette yelled angrily at the sixteen-year-old Ava, who was looking at Mr. Everette, who was so angry with her because Ava had complained that her younger sister Abigail bullied her with her friends in school. “I have told you several times that no matter what your sister does to you, you should consider that she is still your sister and you shouldn't complain about her to me. Do you understand?” Mr. Gabriel yelled, causing Ava to nod her head with fear. “I’m sorry, Dad,” Ava said, but Mr. Gabriel walked away, leaving the living room to join his wife and their younger daughter Abigail. This is how Ava has been treated since Mr. Gabriel and his wife, Mrs. Georginal, gave birth to Abigail. They would neglect her and attend to her younger sister, but she wasn't able to understand what was going on; she cried when she was still little but started to understand as she grew up and could only cry and endure how she was being treated.

But what happened when Mr. Gabriel Everette was planning to sell Ava off when his company was facing bankruptcy? Ava heard this and ran away from home, but she came back strong and turned into a beautiful, decent wife of a billionaire. Her comeback holds revenge to teach them lessons and make them regret ever treating her so badly.
