Disclaimer: If I were Kishimoto, I'd put a story on here anyway, just so I could say in the disclaimer: "I do own Naruto! What are you gonna do about it bitches!?" Seeing as I am not him, I can't say that.
Ch 1 Trial of the Sound Four
Sasuke sat on the branches of a tree bathed in moonlight, contemplating the speech of his sensei. Did bonds and loyalty really make a person stronger? To him they have only brought pain and a sense of helplessness. Just as he was about to turn in for the night he sprung up, dodging what appeared to be spider webs shot at him. Great, first Kakashi with steel thread, now some spiderman. He supposed that the next person with plans to tie him up was Sakura.
With the speed of a natural born genius, Sasuke quickly analyzed the new opponents. One was a larger man whose bulk was indicative of a close range combat style, another was a man with a few extra pairs of arms who had obviously been the one to fire the web as he still had a bit of string on his lips, another was a man with white hair and an odd growth on his neck that almost looked like another head, he was as feminine looking as the false hunter nin he had fought in the land of waves, the last assailant was a young woman with fiery red hair and a smug smirk on her face. They all had forehead protectors with musical notes on them. These were Orochimaru's henchmen. Their chakra levels were suppressed, so he only had a visual impression of their strength, but he figured he would probably be able to take them.
"You fancy yourself strong enough kid!?" the white haired one said. Sasuke flinched inwardly, he knew he wasn't ready for what he truly wanted, and at this rate he never would be. He didn't let a glimmer of his emotions escape.
"Maybe not enough for my goal," he responded. "But enough to take out a couple of punks like you." As he activated his Sharingan, twin tomoe spinning. He drove a kick into the spiderman sending him into his robust companion. He dodged a jab from the two head but felt a pain in his ribs as he got swiped at by the red head. He soon began to realize that taijutsu alone wasn't enough to deal with these guys. He had a jutsu he was working on, but it would require more space than the rooftops of the village could give as the collateral damage would be troublesome. He swiftly led them on a chase out of the village.
"That whimp's running away!" the white haired one exclaimed.
"I knew he was too much of a chicken-shit!" the redhead proclaimed.
"Let's beat a spine into him or break his, whatever comes first," the bulky one proposed.
They quickly chased Sasuke into the great forest surrounding the village. When they caught up with the Uchiha, they were in a rocky clearing in the middle of the woods. Their target was sitting on a boulder that had two holes punched in it.
"Took you losers long enough, I was afraid the real fun wouldn't get a chance to start," the genin stated.
"We're sick of playing Cat and Mouse, let's do this," the spiderman said.
"No more Cat and Mouse? Fine by me," the Uchiha stated, red eye's blazing. "How about a rousing game of Deer and Tiger?"
He leapt off the boulder, went through a rapid flurry of seals, and launched a string of fireballs at the group. Three of the members jumped aside to dodge it while the larger one merely brushed them aside. The spiderman returned fire with shots of web. He grinned as he looked to see the boy tied to a rock. The grin faded when in a poof he saw a log wrapped in goo in his place. He suddenly heard a rapid high pitched screeching and his eyes widened as he turned to see a streak of light held by the Uchiha speeding toward him. The extra limbed man quickly summoned a spider the size of a minivan. There was a nasty squelching sound as the Chidori met the spider. Sasuke managed to cleave through the spider, but the energy of his attack had been dispensed in cutting though the arachnid. The sound shinobi, relieved that he wasn't about to be run through with lightning, let down his guard for an instant as the now less lethal fist collided with his gut all the same. As he pulled back his arm for another punch he was sent sprawling by a kick to the head by the two head nin. He managed to do a quick roll to avoid being stomped on by the large man before jumping back up onto the rock he had originally been sitting on.
The Sound Four stood around the rocky mockingly, waiting for him to come down. They tensed as made the same seals as earlier, his hand once again bathed in pale blue lightning. They each readied to jump, wondering which one of them he would go after. They were curious when he, instead of pointing at one of them, raised his arm. "Chidori Splinter!" he shouted as the sparks leapt from his hand into smaller streaks that zoomed at the surrounding nin. The Sound nin scrambled away and managing to doge most of the major bursts, the ground in the places they previously occupied peppered with small singed holes.
A frustrated and tiring Sasuke grimaced at the lack of damage his modified version of his best technique did. He unfolded a windmill shuriken and launched it at the white haired man. The sound nin smirked as he turned sideways and split into to people, the projectile going right between them. This was the final straw.
Sasuke was pissed. His day had sucked. Having just recovered from a most humiliating defeat at the hands of his brother he had been annoyed by Sakura, shown up by Naruto, lectured by Kakashi, and now he was battling a freak show. And they were winning! He felt the pain in his neck as the red hot marks raced across his body, be he welcomed the pain as he felt the power come with it. The tiger looked down on his deer with a renewed hunger. A darker pulse of lightning sprang to life in his hand as the Uchiha Avenger sent a death glare at his foes. He was quite put off when he saw them smirking as well.
"Oh, have the training wheels come off?" The bulky man said, curse marks spreading over his own body.
"Yes, now the game can really begin," said the second white haired man. "Who was the Tiger again?" asked his twin, both supporting similar marks.
"Looks like this Tiger is really a pussy cat with no claws," said the redhead, also with the curse seal.
"Now can we break his spine?" whined the big one, his body covered in marks along with everyone else.
Sasuke knew he was outmatched. Even with the boost of the curse seal, he only had a single Chidori left, but with them also getting the same power boost, it was over. He was quickly beaten by the four and fell back panting and bleeding back against the boulder he had struck when he first learned his greatest technique. Curse seal retreating meekly, Sasuke looked up at the smug Sound Four.
"Heh, you may also have the curse seal, but you can't use it effectively. Only lord Orochimaru can teach you how to fully use the seal's power, then you will be stronger than you could possibly imagine," preached the spiderman.
The redhead gave a quick laugh at Sasuke and started her part of the recruitment speech, "Come with us to lord Orochimaru and you…" She was interrupted by a dark, hoarse, raspy chuckle from behind them.
