Chapter 8: Soul Bind

-

"Are you ok now, Naruto-kun?" Orochimaru tentatively asked the mass of blonde hair desperately huddling in his kimono.

Composing his nerves, Naruto nodded gently, removing himself from the warm embrace of the otherwise cold Kage. He wondered about Kabuto's earlier statement of people having so much power being evil…

"How could somebody so evil and uncaring possess such warmth…" Naruto stared silently at the man fixing his kimono.

"That was the second time you scared me, Naruto-kun. Breaking down in front of me like some thirteen year old…" Orochimaru deadpanned, expecting the boy to retort. The sibilant tone was still there…never lost.

"Iie…I'm sorry…I guess I just lost myself there." Naruto sighed, eyeing the other warily. "It's just so hard to keep all of that everything inside…and I…I needed some sort of outlet…"

"I never thought I would be able to say it…" Naruto looked at his hands, curling it claw-like. "I wanted to kill…not for defense or survival…but just…kill. I want to kill for pleasure…I want to kill for revenge…I want to kill out of boredom…kill without reason…just so I could see blood…"

A smirk of wonder and satisfaction formed in Orochimaru's lips. Almost the same as Naruto has on his own.

"I want retribution…I want justice…I want to let people get what they deserve…of what they did to me…I…" Naruto growled, his indigo eyes turning a brilliant red at the instant surge of chakra.

"Naruto…"

"Huh?" Naruto jolted out of his second daytime reverie, clutching his head almost instantly. "What was I thinking…no…I couldn't do that…they just didn't understand…they don't deserve to suffer just because I did…or do they?"

"Listen to me!" Orochimaru grasped the sides of Naruto's head, forcing the blonde to face him. Naruto's eyes widened at the sudden contact, much less the anger evident in the Otokage's face.

Orochimaru instantly let go at the sight of Naruto's surprised look. This was hard. Why was he getting hyped up over a toy he asked Kabuto to retrieve? He was just a measly boy with his own teenage problems to deal with, so why was the Otokage even bothering himself with them?

"What…did you want to say, Otokage…"

"-sama?" A look of surprise dawned in him.

Naruto glanced sideways, finding the words appropriate, yet hard to say. It was like affirming something you swore wouldn't happen in a million years, but now you just did. Hard to explain…

"I could offer you that life…if you want to…" Orochimaru trailed off.


Naruto looked at him, a cross of aghast and surprise in his face. Could he really offer that life to him? But a small part of him didn't want the guilt piling up on him, how would he deal with that?

"…minus whatever trivial guilt you might experience." Orochimaru added, seeing the sudden reaction of Naruto on his last statement.

"How…would that even be possible? I mean…no really, if I'd consider that idea…how would it be possible?" Naruto asked, not sure but…the idea was intriguing him.

"It is an ancient long lost technique of a hidden village." Orochimaru reminisced the moment he found out about the technique.

"Fuinshin: Shikon Shibari no Jutsu…"(Sealing Mind: Dead Soul Bind Technique)


"Fuinshin?" Naruto perked up, wondering if such a stupid (in his opinion) technique even existed.

"Dead Soul Bind Technique" Orochimaru glared at him, wondering whether Naruto's thick headedness didn't die along with his old self. That'd be a probable reason…

"Dead Soul Bind no Jutsu enables a very highly-skilled shinobi to transfer his emotions to a voluntary individual, and through that individual filled with his emotions, accomplish certain tasks. This was common in assassination once. All they had to do was to ask their victim's sons to help them, and through their innocence, surrender their will to the shinobi. They would kill their parents afterwards, with no remorse after the act. All guilt and remorse are drained to the shinobi, but the anger and rage remains in the child. The victim should die afterwards, if the shinobi wishes so. A devastating jutsu indeed…" Orochimaru turned to Naruto.

"How would that…help me?" Naruto asked, not too sure with himself this time. The jutsu was very tempting…

"I can sate those hidden desires, Naruto…almost everyone of them. Your hunger for blood, your need for battle, your desire for glory and recognition, your control of your own power, maybe even your lust for another man…possibly anything you'd want for a small price…"

"Which is…" Naruto flinched at the last "desire" Orochimaru mentioned.

Orochimaru's eyes glinted of something. "All I want is for you to be with me. By my side. As a very…very trusted servant. Such an honor isn't it, Naruto-kun?"

Normally, if he weren't like this, Naruto would have spat in Orochimaru's face and told him to jerk himself off to hell. But now…

"And how…would the jutsu help?" Naruto was on his limits, his mind battling with itself to either accept such a tempting offer or decline it and lose all opportunities.

"It's simple. I'll impose my latent desire for death and destruction on you, fuelling your basic instinct of rending anyone that would look at you differently into shreds. All the guilt afterwards will just drain towards me…ch, like I mind whom you'd kill anyway. All you'd be feeling afterwards is the pleasure of…"

Orochimaru leaned closer, running his tongue on Naruto's ear.

"…blood dripping from your fingers. The exquisite scent of death. The sensation of digging your claws into soft flesh, and feel the life gush out of it. You do want it, don't you? Hmm?" Orochimaru appreciated the sight of Naruto panting and huffing at the thoughts that entertained him. The boy was just too delicious for his own good. The bloodlust running in his eyes almost seemed…erotic.


"Kyuubi! What am I to do? I'm about to give in…hell, I want to give in!" Naruto turned to the bored fox for council.

"So do it then…it's been a long time since I smelled of another's blood anyway." Kyuubi yawned.

"Geh…you're not gonna tell me off and say that I'd be nuts if I conceded Orochimaru's offer?" Naruto looked bewildered.

"Of course not. I might tell you later why I think so, but for now, just do it. We have our desires to be sated, and mine hadn't been for the last sixteen years now. Besides…I have a back up just in case of unexpected events…" The fox grinned, somewhat menacing.

"I guess so…I just hope your back up is fool-proof, Kyuubi." Naruto sighed.


"Yes…"

Orochimaru looked at him, a smile evident in his face.

"Yes, I concede to the offer…" Naruto wiped the sweat collecting heavily on his forehead. There's no turning back now…

"Excellent!" Orochimaru stood up, lifting Naruto from his seat as well. The blonde was absolutely surprised at the sudden action, but found himself laid on to the bed.

Naruto whimpered at the cold he felt when Orochimaru drew his kimono open, exposing his upper half of the body. Orochimaru threw his kimono open as well, letting it hang on his waist. Taking his position, he straddled Naruto's hips and confronted the blonde beneath him.

"Let me ask you one last time, Naruto-kun. This is a different mode of the Shikon Shibari no Jutsu. You will be bound to my body as long as you or I exist. There is no turning back now, and if do not completely volunteer yourself; you will die in the process. Tell me, are you sure?" Orochimaru regarded him seriously.

Naruto was struggling at the sudden contact Orochimaru did, but mouthed a small "yes" before trembling a bit from the sensation. The Otokage smirked at the reaction he was getting from the blonde but decided he'd settle that later on.

"Good…"Orochimaru whispered, as he straightened up and took a deep breath.

Naruto looked in shock as Orochimaru did a number of different seals, all in ten seconds as his hands moved like a blur. Steadily, both their chakras flared up in an instant, Orochimaru's sickly indigo and Naruto's reddish violet.

"Interesting…" Orochimaru smiled, before lowering himself a few inches above Naruto's face. His hands positioned themselves on Naruto's own, their figure in the same form as that of the Sojososai no Jutsu (Twin Snakes Mutual Death).

"Anou…" Naruto whispered softly, his eyes transfixed on the Otokage's own.

"I really had wanted to do this first time I saw you…" Orochimaru grunted, before devouring Naruto's lips with his own. An unexpected feeling of euphoria drifted towards him in an instant

Naruto's thoughts went adrift at the kiss, which almost burned inside him. His eyes suddenly shot up, his throat and his insides somewhat burning.

"Relax…" Naruto heard Orochimaru's voice inside him. "I'm transferring my latent desires and wants towards you…" At this, Naruto somewhat calmed down, pacified that whatever was burning inside him wasn't fire.


The kiss, or transfer as Naruto dodgingly preferred it, lasted for almost five minutes. Orochimaru broke with a sudden gasp for air the moment he stopped, panting and wheezing. Naruto did the same, albeit a bit calmer. Being on the receiving end wasn't bad…

With their hands still positioned as they are, Orochimaru brought Naruto above him, their positions reversed in an instant. Naruto was now straddling the still-panting Otokage beneath him.

"Your…turn…" He whispered, his eyes somewhat glazed over. "You must…give me…all the emotions…that would plague you…"

Naruto braced himself, summoning his courage to go on with the act. Too late to stop now…

"Pour it all on that single kiss…" Orochimaru gasped, as Naruto reciprocated with the same intensity that Orochimaru gave him. Just as fiery as the desires that he gave for Naruto to nurture and grow into, the emotions that flowed from his mouth were bitter and almost tasted…sad.

"So much guilt…sadness…regret…frustration…it pains you so much, Naruto…so delicious…" Orochimaru murmured in the kiss while Naruto continued on, tears flowing as well.

Slowly, Naruto straightened up, his eyes glazed over as well. Orochimaru had shed tears for Naruto. Slowly, they returned to their former positions, the older teen over the blonde.

"Your pain is different, Naruto-kun." Orochimaru whispered. "It is a pain no one would understand, not even I. Feeling it, I could have been driven to the brink of insanity immediately had I not forgotten it wasn't mine…"

Naruto steadily kept his glance towards the Otokage, his hands tightening at the other's.

"One last seal …so that the bond will be completed." Orochimaru lowered himself once more, his eyes set on the blonde's left shoulder.

Without warning, his fangs dug into Naruto's flesh. Blood spilled forth from the twin wounds; Naruto screamed a silent scream, the chakra in their hands burst open, allowing a connection to be created. The blonde writhed and squirmed in pain, but the Otokage held him securely underneath him. Naruto's blood was very…addictive.

After hesitating for a moment, Orochimaru let go of Naruto's darkening shoulder. The wound had expectedly healed in an instant, though blood still collected in his collarbone, Orochimaru indulged himself and licked at it thoughtfully.

Naruto groaned, the Otokage's face hovered above the blonde's own.

His nose made sniffing noises, Naruto's eyes opened slightly, registering the red in the other's lips. He strained upwards, attempting to lick the smeared blood on the Otokage's lips. Orochimaru smirked, before giving in, kissing the blonde once more, letting him taste his blood on his lips and in his mouth.

Orochimaru had let go of Naruto's hands now, the blond's left hand and the Otokage's right hand bearing a strange seal with a circle on the center and many wave-like tendrils issuing from it.

Finding both of them weak, they decided to spend the day and night just as they were. Naruto, in the warmth of the Otokage's chest, and the other clutching the blonde tighter towards him.

"Saa…oyasumi…"
