Everyone wants things they can't have. Orochimaru wants eternal life, Naruto wants Sasuke to come back to Konoha, and Ed just wants things to go back to the way they used to be. We can't all have what we want, but what if Orochi finds a way to get his? fmaXNaruto

Eternal Life. One of life's greatest sought after abilities. But does 'eternal life' really exist? Can one really achieve it? Or have the stories been nothing more than whispers in the dark? This is exactly what the snake king, Orochimaru pondered as he sat in his dank and dusty hideaway. He would very soon be needing to transfer into Sasuke's body if he wanted to continue living. His soul transfer technique. He prided himself on it, but it was, he acknowledged; far from the eternal life he sought. And now that he had finally acquired Uchiha it seemed an impossibly troublesome task to have to switch bodies in another three years. He was sure that after having Sasuke's sharingan, no body would ever be able to satisfy him. No he needed the Uchiha forever. But the only way to make that possible would be to discover a new way to achieve eternal life. Even as he sat in his high backed chair, Kabuto was desperately searching for the answer to his lord's question, for Orochimaru had assigned him the task almost a whole month ago. He had been meeting with his various sources, and furtively searching through every book he could find on the matter. To say that Kabuto was nervous was putting it lightly. Orochimaru was not a patient man, and Kabuto was sure that his patience was indeed wearing thin.

"This wouldn't be such a problem if Sasuke was stronger. " Orochi lamented. "This is ruining my plan!" it was true. the issue of Sasuke's strength completely destroyed the diabolical plan orochimaru had set forth. Not that he wasn't strong, he could definitely fuck you up, he just wasn't at the level Orochimaru had anticipated. But, you see, Sasuke was never Orochimaru's true target. It was Itachi. His original plan had been to take Sasuke's body and use it to defeat Itachi, only then would he be able to have the strongest of the Uchiha under his control, or so he thought. It may have been kept from him for a long time, but Orochimaru was no fool. The legendary Uchiha Madara was alive. Cofounder of Konoha Village, and a fellow deserter of said village, he was probably the strongest ninja ever, at the present at least. He was sure that even the great Madara might have had a tough time fighting Namikaze Minato, aka the Yondaime Hokage. And how is it that he was able to live for so long when he should have died at the Valley of the End so many years before? The eternal mangekyo. The strongest form of the sharingan. And the only way to achieve it, to take the eyes of ones brother. And that was exactly why he needed Sasuke. His plan was as follows: to train Sasuke to be strong enough to defeat Itachi, take control of Sasuke and kill Itachi, take Itachi's eyes, train with his newly acquired eternal mangekyo, and when he was ready, defeat madara and take control of his body. With madara and his wide arsenal of jutsu no one would be able to defeat him, and he could finally extract his revenge on Konoha. But Sasuke wasn't ready for that yet! And he was sure that three years wouldn't be enough to fulfill his plan. Therefore he needed to stay in Sasuke's body for more than three years, to get stronger, but...

"Ahhh!!" Orochimaru bellowed out in anger. "How? How can I do it?" at that instant Kabuto burst through the door, looking frazzled and out of breath.

"Orochimaru-sama."

"What?!" he snarled, not in the mood, and quite honestly contemplating whether to kill him or not.

"I think I have it! I've discovered a way for you to achieve eternal life!" scratch that, he loved the kid right about now.

"Well?" he asked trying not to sound to eager.

"Through something called the Philosophers stone. The stone is said to have extraordinary powers. It can grant eternal life, or even bring someone back from the dead."

"And where can this stone be found?"

"It was said to have last been created far to the west of here, in a place called Xerxes. Though the whole city disappeared the same night it was created."

"Xerxes...yes that is very far to the west of here...and east of Ametris...yes if the stone exists someone in Ametris will know of it. You've done well Kabuto." the Philosophers stone...you will be mine. He thought sinisterly as he let out a chilling laugh.
