I was walking with Orochimaru to the training room, and we stopped at a door. He guided me in to the room, and told me to sit down on a chair in the middle of the room. I listened and sat down, looking around the room. It was pretty empty, no windows or anything, one door that opened from only the outside, and a mirror.
Before I knew what was happening, I heard a big door shut, and realized that Orochimaru locked me in here.
"What the hell! This isn't training!" I yelled, knowing he probably wouldn't be able to hear me.
I got up and ran toward the door, pounding on it, hoping someone would hear me and help me out. I doubted it, they were all probably either evil like Orochimaru, or were frightened for their lives. If they let me out, they would be killed for sure.
I sighed and slowly slid down the door, so that I was now sitting down. I heard a small buzzing sound, and Orochimaru's voice could be heard.
"Sasuke, this will be your training. We will bring you food every day, but you must stay in here, until I see a difference in your behavior." The voice said. How long would I be trapped in here?
"Also, if you try to escape, you will be punished." Orochimaru said again. Punished? Like what I went through as soon as I got here? I still had to go through with that? What the hell kind of training is this?
"I thought I would be training, Orochimaru!" I yelled, hoping he would be able to hear me.
"This is training, Sasuke. You will see what I mean soon enough." Orochimaru said. I could hear him chuckling to himself. I walked towards the mirror, and punched it out of frustration. Surprisingly, the mirror didn't break. Am I that weak? I punched it again, to see what would happen, and, as I guessed, noting happened.
"Why won't the glass break?"
"It is bullet proof glass, Sasuke. It's the safety precautions, and by the way, if you continue to hit it, you will not be fit for the training you will be going through shortly." He said, just as the door opened, and a ninja walked in, shutting the door quickly, so I wouldn't get out. He locked himself in too?
"Why did he just lock himself in? Is he really that stupid?"
"No, Sasuke. This is where your training starts. Whoever lives, wins. Begin." Orochimaru said, laughing as he said it. So, it's a fight to the death.
The ninja came forward, and nodded at me. I nodded back. I guess it was acknowledgement that one of us would die right now, and hopefully it wasn't me.
"My name is Usui Yamamachi." The other ninja said.
"I am Sasuke Uchiha." I said, taking a step forward. I got in position to fight, and charged at Usui. He put up his hand to block himself from getting hit by my attack, but I aimed lower than where he was blocking, and hit him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, and I took advantage of his weakness, and kicked him in the head, causing him to fall to the floor, holding his head.
He got up slowly, holding his head, where I could see blood dripping down his face. He walked towards me, and I punched him three times in the face. His nose was now dripping blood, and I continued fighting with all my might.
I kicked him as hard as I could in the head again, and he fell to the ground, unmoving. I got up and looked at him, kicking him over with my foot. He was unconscious.
"Is he…?" I said, looking down at Usui.
"Yes. Good job, Sasuke. Now, you will get your food, and a prize." Orochimaru said, as the door opened, and someone threw in a loaf of bread, and a kunai. I picked the kunai up, and put it in the pocket of the jeans I was wearing, and picked the bread up and took a bite of it.
"Is this all I am going to be eating, stale bread?" I asked, eating the bread nonetheless. If it was actually the only thing that I would be eating, I need to eat all I can so I don't get weak, and end up dying in here.
"For now, yes that is all you will be eating, but, Sasuke, why did you seem so upset when you killed Usui. He was weaker than you. He deserved to die by your hand." Orochimaru said, laughing. This man was so evil.
"Yes, he was weaker than I am, but that doesn't mean that he needs to die. No one deserves to die, except for people like you. People like Itachi." I said, taking another bite of the stale bread. It tasted terrible, but I needed to keep up my strength, and if that meant eating bad bread, then so be it.
"Sasuke, you have so much to learn. Tonight, your training is complete, so you can get some sleep. Tomorrow training will be harder, you do know that, right?"
"Yeah, I know. How long will I have to train?"
"You must train until I see a change in you."
I woke up and looked around, forgetting where I was for a second. Suddenly it all came back to me. I looked at my surroundings and saw that there was now someone else lying in the corner, probably still asleep. Was this the next person I had to fight against?
"Ah, Sasuke you are up. This is Kabuto Yakushi. He will be the next person you will kill, if you succeed."
"He is still asleep." I said, looking at his sleeping body.
"Yes, why don't you attack him right now? You would have the upper hand." Orochimaru suggested. I shook my head, knowing that he would be able to see me.
"I wouldn't do that. That wouldn't be fair to him." I said, sitting down on the chair in the middle of the room, looking around. The walks were made of metal or something. They probably wouldn't break easily, just like the mirror wouldn't. I looked up at the corner of the ceiling, and saw a speaker. That is probably where Orochimaru was talking from.
I looked back at Kabuto and, he was still asleep. I sighed, the adrenaline starting up. I knew that this one would be more difficult to fight than the first. I was pumped to get this ninja at my feet, begging for mercy. Wait, what am I thinking? I am not like that. I shook my head and looked back at where the ninja was once laying. He wasn't there anymore.
I looked around the room, wondering where he could have gone. I looked up just as he came falling from the ceiling, and punching me in the face. I fell back, holding my nose. It was most likely broken. I shook off the pain, and got up and kneed him in the stomach three times. He fell back, holding his stomach.
He quickly got over the pain, and came back at me, trying to punch me. I dodged his punches easily. After a dodge, I made my move and tried to punch him, but he grabbed my hand, stopping it just before it reached his face, and twisted my arm behind me.
I let out a cry of pain, and tried to get out of his hold, though it was very difficult. He flipped me over and threw me down on the ground, causing the wind to be knocked out of me. I lay there, trying to get my breathing regular again, and when it was back to normal, I got up and charged him.
He really pissed me off, and deserved to pay for it. I kept punching him and kicking him, and he was finally down on the ground, not moving. I beat him.
I turned around, and looked at the speaker.
"So, when do I get my reward for that one, Oro- Oof?" I was interrupted by a force hitting me in the back, knocking me down to the ground. He was back up, and ready to fight.
"What the hell! You were down, Kabuto." I said, getting back up.
"No, I was merely recovering from your attacks. I found your weak spot when you turned around, thinking I was dead, and took advantage of it." He said, grinning as he advanced towards me.
"Now, prepare to die, Sasuke Uchiha." He said, running towards me, full speed, and punching me in the stomach. I flew back and hit the wall. I coughed and blood came out, but I just got back up, and jumped so I was behind him.
I reached in my pocket, and took out the kunai. When Kabuto turned to look at me, I stabbed him in the neck. His hands went up to where the kunai was as he fell to the ground. Blood pooled around him, and I kicked him over with my foot to see if he was indeed dead, which he was.
I bent over and pulled the kunai out of his neck, and grinned down at him. He was one hell of an opponent, but in the end, I won. I wiped the blood off the kunai, onto the shirt I was wearing, and kicked his dead body away from me. I looked up at the speaker again.
"As I was saying before, when do I get my prize?" I asked. Then, the door opened, and another loaf of bread was thrown in, along with a katana. I could get used to this.
"Have I changed at all, Orochimaru?" I asked.
"A little bit, but you are not quite there." He said.
As the days went on, I fought more and more ninjas, each harder than the last, but kept on winning. Every time I won, I asked Orochimaru if I had changed at all, and always got the same response.
"A little bit, but you are not quite there."
I almost died a couple times, but in the end, I always pulled through. After I got the katana, I also got a ninja star, but then I only got the bread as prizes. Little did I know the next day would bring the hardest training session of all.
