A/N Has the smae plot line as my old story 'Third of its Kind' but I think this is better for I accually used my 'creative writing' notes for this and worked on it. Its still pretty bad, but I think its better than the last one. Well read on I guess...Oh and about the title, by the rules I learned in chess if a pawn reaches to the end of the chess board it becomes a queen...so yah..
Summery
After this chpter it will be set in the future Chunin exams, in which the children of the cannon charaters are netering (don't worry it's not OC filled, the cannon charies are in here, and play a big role). But even after all these years Oro still has his eyes set on Kohona, and he sent in his own teams..
Yep. Lame summery.

Old age has finally caught up to him, but he didn't really mind. In fact, he believed that old age only made him stronger, made him more feared by his enemies, but he didn't see this coming. It snuck up on him, like a cat would stalk a mouse, and now, he was going to be played with, just like a defenseless little mouse.
"I hear you can summon warriors, powerful warriors," the voice of the cat, his capturer, but the voice didn't seem playful, it seemed more vile, like a snakes, "You made you home village strong and, powerful with your abilities, and now you will do the same to mine,"
Such a cocky cat, so sure of himself, well he'll show him, he'll give him his men. But they sure won't be what he wants…
Still, it was worth a try to weasel out of this, why should he waste his time with this cat/snake man?
"I'm just a hungry old man sir," he was surprised about how weak his voice sounded, how old, like someone put dry leaves into his throat and was crushing them, "Please, I can't summon are create anything! Just let me go,"
Create? Summon? That's his cat thought he would do? Well he was in for an unpleasant surprise.
"Don't lie to me," said the cat that hissed, "I heard about what you can do, and you will do it," he could have sworn a grin now spread over the cat's face, "If you want to see the next sunrise that is,"
What a kind kitty.
He pretended to ponder on this problem for a moment, but his answer was already on the tip of his tongue from the start of this little game. But now it was his turn to be the cat, his turn to play.
"Very well," he answered, "I will do it, but I will require some supplies,"
"Which ones? What do you need?"
"I prefer to get them myself sir,"
"Very well, but my apprentice will assist you, no exceptions,"
Just as his capturer finished talking, a young white haired lad stepped out of the shadows. How did he miss him? His senses were probably also drying out. But this was no time to act surprised. He gave a quick nod in the lad's direction.
"Fine, I may use some help along the way,"
"You mean you'll be traveling?" asked the snake.
"Oh no sir, I think I can find everything I need around your village,"
His response was just a mere "Hn,"
Let the game begin.
That entire day poor Kabuto had to follow the old man around, who just seemed to ignore him. To add to that, the old guy didn't even seem scared, or unnerved. Really he looked as if he was enjoying himself, as if he was playing a game. Why he was even humming! What kind of man hums when he's a prisoner of the sound, and looks like a skeleton from lack of food?
But an order is an order, if Orochimaru – sama told him to keep an eye on the old man, then he will.
But why did Orochimaru – sama want the old man to summon him an army. Didn't he have enough men already? Or did the man have power to create something…well something better?
"So does your master sacrifice his own men without a care?"
Kabuto looked up, surprised the man remembered that he was alive.
"Well if it's necessary for his goal, then yes."
"Hm," came a response, slowly the old man walked up to a tree and began to tug on something.
"What are you doing old man?"
"I need this object lad, would you mind getting it for me?"
Yes he would mind, but it's not like he had a choice. Kabuto walked up to the tree to retrieve the damn thing. As soon as he came to it he looked at it, shocked.
It was a needle, but not a normal one, this one once belonged to Kin, a young girl who once lived in the sound. Tied to the needle was an old, rusted bell. This needle must have been stuck here for three years now, seeing that Kin died some time ago.
But Kabuto didn't ask any questions, he grabbed the object and gave a tug, it gave away easily.
Automatically the man snatched it out of his hand and dropped it into his bag.
"Come on now lad, it's time to see your master again,"
"You're done?" asked Kabuto, surprised.
"Why of course I'm done,"
"But I didn't see you get anything else," Kabuto argued.
"Then you must have been lost in your own thoughts," said the man gruffly, "Look and see for your self," He handed Kabuto his little bag.
Kabuto gave the man a quizzical look, and took a peek into the bag. He saw Kin's needle which lay on top of all the other stuff which included a flute, a spider and a slingshot. All of these things made Kabuto remember something, or someone but he just couldn't lay his finger on it. But the items seemed familiar…
"Satisfied?" asked the man while he took his bag away. Kabuto gave a quick nod.
"Now let's get going,"
This was going to be a fun game. The lad seemed smart but he didn't seem to have figured out his plan yet. Good. This was good.
"I'm ready sir," he said in his 'old man' voice, as he gave a small bow to the new mouse.
The mouse grinned; he thought that he will get a powerful army. True, he will get an army, and a visit from some old friends. "Proceed," he said.
He nodded at the mouse, yes he will proceed. Slowly he took out all of the items in his bag with his boney white hand, and spaced then evenly in a circle around him. But he felt a bit sad, the game was almost over, he didn't get to play the cat long.
He made a hand seal with his boney hand and looked at each of the objects around him in turn. Then he gave a hoarse whisper, "Umarekawari,"
Suddenly the objects around him began to shake, as if some spirits possessed them. Slowly they stopped, but the man's kekkei genkai was not over yet. For some reason the objects began to spit out pure black smoke, as if someone lit a fire inside them. Soon the entire area was covered in black smoke, but for some reason it didn't choke anyone, as if the air was still clean.
But that was not the eerie part, that came when the man started laughing; his laughter was not the kind you might expect coming from an old, starving man. This laughter seemed young and full of amusement.
"What's so funny?"
"Orochimaru – sama, what is he doing!"
"Surprised?" the old man's voice seemed to come from everywhere, as if he put loud speakers all around the forest, "My clan may only use this ability once in our lives. My dear brother gave our village power, not me my little mouse. I hope you enjoy your elite warriors you sick bastard!"
The smoke began to clear, revealing the old man. He lay spread eagle on the ground, dead. But his eyes seemed alive with insanity, or maybe they just looked like that because of the wicked grin that was still on his face.
"Oh no…"
Orochimaru looked up from the dead body to see what disappointed hisapprentice. As soon as he saw, he could only stare.
The so called elite warriors stared back. An awkward silence followed.
Until one of the 'elite warriors' looked down at the dead man and said, "Who the hell was that Orochimaru – sama?"
--------------------------
A/N Yep the creepy old guy brought back the Sound 5 and the Sound Trio. Lame way to bring them back, but it's better than my last way...that one just sucks...
Well if you read this then I'm amazed! Thanks for reading.
