AN: The time will go through by days. The numbers will start on the day Sasuke arrived at the Leaf Village.


Day One

After Orochimaru took control of Sasuke's body, the real Sasuke didn't know what to do or where to go. He decided he would ask Kakashi-sensei for advice, so he headed back to Konoha. He didn't attract any attention, which he thought was odd because he was raising Hell in the noise department.

When he finally arrived back at his home village, he felt a wave of relief wash over him. Seeing the guards on either side of the gate, he tried talking to one.

"Yo. I'm back," Sasuke said.

Neither of the guards reacted.

"Helloooo?"

He waved his hand in front of a guard's face. The guard didn't even blink.

'Strange…' Sasuke thought.

Sasuke decided to go try and find his Sensei's home.


After a few minutes of searching, Sasuke finally found and walked into Kakashi's house. He heard noises coming from the bedroom, so he decided to try in there. He walked into the bedroom. Kakashi was there, sitting on his bed watching T.V.

"Kakashi?"

Kakashi's face twitched and his eyes widened. Sasuke wondered if he could hear him.

"Kakashi?" Sasuke repeated. "It's me, Sasuke."

"Sasuke? Thank Kami you're back! Where are you?"

Good. The Copy Ninja could hear him, but obviously not see.

"I'm standing right in front of you. See, the thing is…"

Sasuke then explained to Kakashi how Orochimaru took over his body.

"The only reason I can hear you is because I have one piece of the Resurrection Seal. I received it from Sarutobi many years ago. There are four parts to the Seal: Hearing, Vision, Touch, and Soul. I was told that if all four parts of the Seal come together, you can bring someone back to life," Kakashi explained.

"Look, Kakashi, I really didn't want to leave. The Sound Four tricked me and then carried me away," Sasuke explained truthfully.

"I thought so."

"So, where are the other parts of the scroll?" Sasuke asked.

"The only one I know of is owned by an ANBU named Karuyaka."

"If he's part of the ANBU, if should be easy to get, right?" Sasuke inferred.

"Wrong. SHE," Kakashi emphasized. "went rogue three years ago."

"Greaaaat… It's a lady ANBU, even better..."

"We better start looking for him if you want to live again."

"I'll gather a team," Sasuke suggested.

"Normally, I'd be all for it but no one can see you except me," Kakashi reminded the raven.

"...Hmph..." Sasuke said.

Kakashi sighed. 'Still as big-headed as ever.'
