Eckstein Eckstein alles muss versteckt sein
Morning, evening, afternoon, night, day- they all made no difference. In Orochimaru's base, it was always almost complete darkness. There were few eerie candles around, but no windows to let in sunlight, no fireplace. Light showed things that they didn't want to show. A window would be suspicious on a big rock. A fireplace would need a chimney.
It was like an eternal moonless night. Not that Sasuke minded, though. He had become all too familiar with darkness after Itachi had killed the family- the first few nights after were long ones with no sleep. He lit only one candle in his room- the rest was darkness.
He was expected to get sleep in Orochimaru's base, but most of the nights he spent thinking. On this particular night, he began to think of the future.
Sasuke was doing all of this to kill Itachi. After he killed Itachi… then what? He would renew the clan. Of course, by the time he killed Itachi, Orochimaru would probably have taken his body. Sasuke could reject him like what had happened to Orochimaru before, but what if it didn't work? What if Orochimaru kept his body and Sasuke was unable to get him out?
The thought of that slightly scared Sasuke. After killing Itachi, he had planned having children to restart the family… Orochimaru would obviously hinder that plan.
He decided not to think of the future, instead keep moving on in his life. Maybe Orochimaru would be killed. Maybe he would be the one to kill him. Maybe there were too many ifs and maybes.
Sasuke closed his eyes. He could- no, he would- get stronger that Orochimaru before the time came for the sannin to take his body. He would be stronger than Itachi by that time.
Of course, no one could predict the future.
