Chapter 3: Mizuki and Orochimaru
In the depths of the Hidden Leaf's Strict Correctional Facility, a man named Mizuki had just finished a successful prison riot. The riot had taken over the entire prison. Even the back-up from Asuma and Kurenai couldn't help tip the balance in the guards' favor. "Now everyone listen!" Mizuki yelled, gathering everyone's attention. "We have taken the prison! Now it's time to take our freedom! Let's get out of here and go our separate ways!" Mizuki yelled, earning cheers from the others.
As everyone was leaving through the gate, Mizuki pulled two very large men. "Fujin, Raijin. I'll need your help. In return, Lord Orochimaru will give you all the gourmet food you can eat." Said Mizuki, with an evil gleam in his eye.
"Gourmet food?!" Asked fujin and Raijin, simultaneously. Mizuki just nodded. Mizuki had bulked up quite a bit since being incarcerated. Buthe still retained
"What do you need help with, big bro?" Asked Fujin.
"First we'll go to a certain woman's house, then we'll take care of the Nine-tails. Once that's finished, we'll head to Orochimaru's." Mizuki answered, as he began walking toward the Leaf Village.
"Will there be good food there?" Raijin asked.
Stopping, Mizuki turned his head towards Raijin. "Well of course there will be. Trust me, the food will be good." Mizuki said, before taking off towards the Leaf Village.
"Let's go, Raijin."
"Ok, Fujin.
-Leaf Outskirts-
Tsubaki had just finished serving some lunch to Mizuki, Fujin and Raijin. "Now, Tsubaki." Said Mizuki, gaining Tsubaki's full attention. "Where can I find the Nine-tails brat?"
"Why do you want to know about him, Mizuki?" Tsubaki asked.
"Isn't it obvious? To get back at him for having me thrown in that damned prison! Once I'm done with him, I'll go to Orochimaru. Once I've joined up with him, he'll share his power with me! And then this village will be mine! Hahahaha!" Mizuki clamed.
"NO!" Tsubaki yelled, grabbing onto Mizuki. "No Mizuki, don't! Forget about revenge on Naruto and going to Orochimaru! Orochimaru is pure evil, and Naruto has saved this village! He even kept the last Uchiha from leaving the village! And he was banished because of it! Please don..." Tsubaki pleaded, only to be interrupted before she could finish.
"What?! What do you mean 'banished'?! What happened to that brat?!" Mizuki yelled, angry at what he had just heard.
Sinking to her knees, Tsubaki explained what had happened to Naruto after he brought Sasuke back to the village. She even told him about his heritage, since there wasn't a law that forbid the mention of it. By the end of her explaination, Mizuki had a half smirk.
"I see. Well, it's unfortunate that I can't get my revenge on the Nine-tails yet. But, I cant still get power from Orochimaru. Hahahaha!" Said Mizuki, already planning on how he'll get his revenge on Naruto.
Tsubaki had once again began pleading for Mizuki to forget about Orochimaru and revenge. But, her pleading fell on deaf ears as she was knocked unconscious by Mizuki.
"Fujin, Raijin. Let's go. We're going to Orochimaru's now." Mizuki ordered.
"Ok, big bro. Let's go Raijin." Fujin replied.
"Ok, big bro Fujin." With that, Mizuki and co. left in order to go to Orochimaru.
-Leaf Hospital-
"I see. That's a problem. Mizuki has always been clever. But, to gather all the prisoners together to riot against all the guards. It's unheard of." Said Tsunade, after she heard what had happened to the two shinobi she sent to the prison.. Tsunade had treated both Kurenai and Asuma.
"We're sorry we couldn't contain them, Lady Tsunade." Said Kurenai.
*Sigh* "Don't worry about it. You two were heavily out numbered. I would've sent more if we had the resources, but unfortunately we don't. Anyway, I've already went out orders for everyone to begin rounding up the escapees. For now, you two can just rest up until you've completely healed. We'll take care of the rest." Tsunade ordered, as she left the room.
-Meanwhile-
"Hnhnhnhn. Good job, you two. Now, let's get going before anymore show up." Mizuki ordered, as he leapt away into the trees followed by Fujin and Raijin. The three had been tracked down by Shizune and three fellow Leaf ninja. Mizuki ordered them to take them out, while he himself just sat nearby. He kept his guard up in case he was attacked, but that was all he did.
-One week later-
-Hokage's Office-
Tsunade had a headache. Her apprentice, Shizune, was injured alongside three fellow Jounin. It turned out that Mizuki was accompanied by Fujin and Raijin. Mizuki's intelligence alongside Fujin and Raijin's strength, and you had something to worry about. Not only that, but it's believed that Mizuki had broken into the Nara Clan's medical lab and stole various items. Tsunade double checked the ingredients, and realized that it was an experimental drug to enhance one's physical ablilities. Basically a type of a permanent steroid.
After Shizune's encounter with Mizuki, they had attempted to track Mizuki. But, unfortunately it had rained that night. The rain prevented the Inuzuka Clan from tracking Mizuki's trail. They did however, manage to find the general direction they were going. They believe that he might be headed for the Land of Rice. But that might be a diversion.
*Sigh*
"Is something wrong, Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked, placing a cup of tea down in front of her mentor.
"It's this Mizuki business. It's giving me a headache." Tsunade replied, massaging her temples.
"I see. If it weren't for Fujin and Raijin, we may have been able to bring him in." Said Shizune, as she hung her head at the thought of the defeat she and her team suffered.
"Don't worry Shizune, I doubt Orochimaru has much use for him. He's more likely to be a test subject."
"What makes you say that?" Shizune asked.
"The ingredients he stole were for a type of permanent steroid. The drug was mostly a test phase for the Curse Mark. If Mizuki ends up using it, then he'll end up not being able to use chakra. Assuming that those may be the most likely results." Tsunade answered, he voice sounding like she was sure that would be the outcome.
"But couldn't Orochimaru fix that somehow, or have Kabuto do it?"
"Hmm. It's a possibility, but Orochimaru may just use him to do some dirty work and then discard him like all his other failed experiments." Tsunade replied, hoping that she was right and he wouldn't make Mizuki stronger.
-A week later w/ Orochimaru-
Orochimaru had heard of the prison break in the Leaf Village. Upon hearing that Mizuki had planned the escape and was the only one, along with Fujin and Raijin, to escape recapture, he sent Kabuto to go bring them to him. Kabuto had asked why he wanted them, and Orochimaru just told him the Mizuki was most likely looking for him. Accepting the answer, Kabuto went in search of Mizuki. Now, before him kneeled the three ninja he had sent Kabuto to retrieve.
"Kukuku. Welcome Mizuki. I'm surprised that you managed to escape from the prison. Now, what could you possibly want from me? Kukuku." Asked Orochimaru, already knowing the answer.
It was of course Mizuki who answered. "Lord Orochimaru. I've come to you in search of gaining power, in order to get my revenge on the Nine-tails for getting me thrown in prison. Fujin and Raijin will pledge their loyaly as well, my lord."
Orochimaru seemed to consider the pros and cons of using these three. Of course he had already considered them, he was just doing this for show. "Hmm. Kabuto, take Fujin and Raijin, and get them a nice gourmet dinner." Orochimaru ordered.
"Are you sure about this, Lord Orochimaru? I mean, can you really trust them?" Kabuto whispered, unsure of Orochimaru's decision.
Whispering back, Orochimaru replied. "Fujin and Raijin will do anything we ask, so long as we reward them with food. As for mizuki, he just wants power. It shouldn't be too difficult to handle him. Now go, give them a nice dinner."
Straightening up, Kabuto adjusted his glasses as he replied. "Very well, my lord." Turning to the two larger men, Kabuto said. "Follow me you two. Just have a little patience and you can have as much as you want." Little did Kabuto know that he'll regret those words.
Once Kabuto left the room the the two 'Idiot Brothers', Orochimaru spoke. "Now, Mizuki. How do I know I can trust you? How do I know that you'll follow everyone of my orders?"
"I shall prove my loyalty, Lord Orochimaru. And also, I have followed you orders once before." MIzuki replied, as he pulled up the sleeve on his right arm. A strange looking tattoo was there. Orochimaru recognized it well, for it was he who gave it to him during a brief encounter years ago. "I went to the cave and drank the potion that the ingredients made. I just haven't had a chance to use the power that you've gifted me with yet. I swear to you, that I'll do anything you wish me to do. All I ask is, that I get my revenge on the Nine-tails brat."
"Kuku. Very well. Kabuto and I will increase your power even further tomorrow." Said Orochimaru, with a sinister smile on his face.
Mizuki showed a smile similar to Orochimaru's. If only he knew what he would have to go through.
-Danzo-
Danzo had read the report from Squad 7's mission to the Land of Waves. It turns out that they had let an enemy ninja survive. The name of that ninja was Haku, and Ice Style user. It stated that he left to go help the rebellion against the 4th MizuKage.
Danzo had already received information that the 4th Mizukage has fallen, so that meant looking for this Haku would be a dead end. But there was a chance that Naruto would find him. He just hoped his ninja found Naruto, before he left the Land of Water.
Well, that's another chapter. I know it wasn't very exciting, but without anyone listening in on Tsunade speaking in her office, no one can really try and track Mizuki down before he could get to Orochimaru. Also, someone reviewed and said that Danzo is in a clan. I'm aware of that. I said that Danzo isn't a clan, not that he's not part of a plan. I guess I should have been a little more clear. Anyway, thank you to that reviewer. And thank you all for reading up to this point. Please review.
