Flesh For Strength

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto... I don't own anything... But it would be awesome if I did.

A/N: I probably made a lot of spelling errors so i'm sorry if you happen to come across some. Also,some of the info in this fanfic came from the manga, not the anime. Hope you enjoy :)

Warnings: Cursing, Sasuke's POV, maybe some typos and spelling errors. Not sure if i'm gonna put yaoi in...I don't plan on it so for those who don't like that kind of stuff i'll put up the warning if i ever do put it in here... but no yaoi in this chapter so we're all good.


Chapter One - Man! Do You Tick Me Off!

It's been seven years to the day my parents and clan had been slaughtered. I was eight around the time and I didn't remember much but every now and then I hear people on the streets whispering about the tragic event that happened. Some say the man who killed them was over worked and tired and finally cracked but I couldn't take in that fact. I've always respected him... when I was younger. That man... my brother... I had vowed to kill him in anyway necessary.

I'm now 15 years old and I still haven't accomplished my goal. I had done everything to just become the inch of power my brother has; betray everyone I know in Konoha, joined a maddened dictator and his accomplice to gain more power, and nearly killed my best friend... an urge to move on is my only hope now...

"Sasuke, are you ready yet?" nagged Kabuto. Kabuto wasn't the one to wait up for others, well, except for Orochimaru. From what I learned from the other lower class minions, Kabuto became loyal to Orochimaru because he broke the hypnosis a man named Sasori - a member of the Akatsuki - held on Kabuto so he could spy on Orochimaru's intentions.

"God-dammit, Kabuto. Would you shut the hell up!" I replied. I really didn't give a damn about his past, only mine and the future to come. You could probably tell we didn't get along.

"I would if you were just a bit faster."

You see, ever since I had joined Orochimaru we've been moving to new bases every week to keep our exsistance hidden. It really became annoying because I'd have to hear this idiot criticizing me the whole way through.

"And what 'bout you, huh?" I snapped at Kabuto.

"I'm all ready, stupid. I've been ready two hours ago."

"Great. Lets all hear it for the master's pet, Kabuto!" I started clapping my hands sarcastically.

"You blasted moron! Do you want me to kick your sorry ass?" spat Kabuto.

"You can't even touch me!"

"Why you little bi---" Kabuto was then intruputed by the sound of a very annoyed sannin in the hallway.

"If you both don't start moving, I'm gonna come in there and kick both your asses! SO, SHUT THE FUCK UP!" shouted Orochimaru.

"Yes, Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto replied.

"Yes Orochimaru-sama," I said in a mocking tone. Kabuto then shot a few kunai knives at me that I easy dodged.

"You need to learn some respect, child"

"Huh, funny. Coming from you," and that pretty much ended the conversation.

Another hour passed and we just started leaving the base we've been at the passed week. A few weeks before, an old friend managed to come by and talk to me... although, it didn't end as planned... or not as I planned, anyways. Naruto, somehow, found the base we were in - which was sort of weird because it was just under a huge boulder - along with Sakura and two new people. A temporary replacement leader, Yamato, and a permanent (1) replacement for Sasuke, Sai. This little piece of info pissed me off a bit even though I had said I didn't care about Konoha. I don't have plans for returning to Konoha nor did I even try, I was gaining power a lot faster here than with Team Seven. There was only one thing that sparked my interest while Team Seven infiltrated and that was what Naruto had said to me... (2)


"Why don't you understand! Your body will soon be taken by Orochimaru!"

"Hm..."

"Well...?"

"If it happens... so it happens."

"Huh...?"

"You're still quite a kid... Naruto. For me, revenge is everything. As long as I can have my revenge, I could care less what happens to me, or the whole world for that matter."

"..." Naruto was dead silent, along with the rest of the crowd, listening to what I had to say.

"I'll make it clear. Even now, I can't beat Itachi and neither can Orochimaru. But, if I'm able to accomplish my goals through nothing more than offering Orochimaru this body of mine..." Even two-and-a-half years hasn't changed Naruto. I still had to explain these things for him.

"... Then he can have my life, and my afterlife for that matter."


It was a strange conversation but then again when had any of them been normal? If it's true... If my body really is going to be taken by Orochimaru then I guess I have nothing really to care about. Who knows, maybe this older geezer's strength combined with my Sharingan might be enough. Just as long as my clan is avenged with my blood stained hands, I'll be fine.

"SASUKE!" shouted Kabuto from afar. At that time I snapped out of it and realized the other two had a great distance ahead of me. So, I continued walking never leaving my eyes away from the ground. The only question in my mind now was ---

"Where the hell are we going?"

"Shut up and you'll find out soon enough," scowled Kabuto.

TBC...


A/N: This is my first attempt in actually not screwing up the story every few hours to make sure it's ok, also sorry if you find some spelling errors on there... I'm not the best grammer expert XP. Please R&R

1. I'm not really sure if Sai is a permanent replacement for Sasuke or not but when he joined the group he seemed content... after a while.

2. The stuff I typed down was from the manga of Naruto(manga that was translated on the internet)... not really sure if the manga script i read was the same as the rest but ya know, im not gonna screw with it. - translation credit for the manga i read goes to Jojo, NOT me.
