Chapter 7 : The Dark Side
Orochimaru was very busy, having to be a Kage do that to most people... What took most of his time was to decide where to place most of those missing-nin who didn't stop coming. Fortunately, Orochimaru was very skilled when it came to find a use for someone. As it was the best place to find special abilities, it wouldn't do for Orochimaru to miss an interesting body to take over... He was currently contemplating what to do with the mid-chuunin level missing-nin in front of him.
Good material, he has some potential... as shuriken-fodder, that is. , thought Orochimaru.
" Welcome to the Sound ! Next ! ", called Orochimaru, dismissing his new shinobi.
A small blond-haired boy with a large scroll on one shoulder and a large sword on the other entered and saluted him.
Missing-nin get weirder and weirder these days... Oh well, I'm sure I'll find some use for him one way or another... , wondered Orochimaru.
" Welcome. Might I know why you wish to join the Sound ? ", asked Orochimaru.
" For several reasons... To survive, gain power andaccomplish my revenge. ", declared the kid.
" Be more specific... ", ordered Orochimaru.
" I want to annihilate Konoha. And to gain enough power to do that I want to become your apprentice. ", deadpanned the kid.
Orochimaru blinked and then chuckled darkly, thinking : Well, that was blunt...
" And might I know why you think you deserve my apprenticeship ? Or why I would get along with your desire to destroy Konoha, for that matter ? ", asked Orochimaru.
" Well, I heard you had some grudge against Konoha... and that you had a liking for Jutsu... It's a good thing I took a little memento with me when I left Konoha : the Scroll of Forbidden Seals. ", declared the kid as he handed the scroll over to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's eyes widened when he heard that, he quickly took the scroll and opened it to confirm its authenticity. After this unexpected pleasure, he gave some more consideration to the boy in front of him and noticed some characteristic facial features he had ignored earlier.
Blond hair, blue eyes and whisker marks... Don't tell me... , wondered Orochimaru.
" Boy, what is your name ? ", asked Orochimaru with barely restrained anticipation.
The boy seemed to falter for the first time he entered the room and hesitantly replied :
" I am Uzumaki Naruto... "
Kukuku... Who would have thought Kyuubi's vessel would come straight into my hands and be willing to help me destroy Konoha ? Though the later isn't that much surprising... This is truly a glorious day for me... , thought Orochimaru with glee.
" You are more than welcome, Naruto-kun... I will test you to see if you deserve to become my apprentice but I will definitely help you become stronger and stronger... ", declared Orochimaru.
" Orochimaru-sama ! ", interrupted a feminine and familiar voice which belonged to the teenager who just barged into the room, attracting all the attention to her.
" Oh, Tayuya-chan ! It seems you survived the second level of your seal, kukuku... Good, good... You came just in time, we'll see how Naruto-kun fares in front of your second level... ", said Orochimaru.
" Ah ! The weird girl ! ", exclaimed Naruto when he recognized the girl.
" Don't call me weird, you damned brat ! ", retorted Tayuya after knocking him on the head.
" You two know each other ? ", asked Orochimaru, raising an eyebrow.
" Hai, she stumbled into me during one of my jobs and she invited me to the Sound, that's one of the reasons I came here... ", answered Naruto.
" Oh... That's nice... You seem to get along really well... ", noted Orochimaru.
" What ! Orochimaru-sama ! He's just a brat ! ", complained Tayuya.
" Oh ? And who was the one who needed the help of a brat ? ", replied Naruto.
Kukuku... Those two sure make a good entertainement, I was getting bored lately... , realized Orochimaru as the two kept bickering.
" Orochimaru-sama ! What is that gaki doing here ? ", finally asked Tayuya.
" Naruto-kun will very likely play an important role in our future plans... but for that we'll need to train him... First, we have to see what he can do, why don't you two spar together ? ", requested Orochimaru.
" Is that really fair ? It would be a pity to have him die so soon... ", boasted Tayuya.
" I don't think he will die so easily, but if he can't even manage to stay alive it would mean he wasn't worth the effort. So, come prove your worth, Naruto-kun... ", declared Orochimaru as he led them towards a training ground.
The training ground was in the exterior and had a lot of space, clearly designed to allow fighters to go full out but also preventing them from using stealth or hiding, perfect for the still blunt Naruto who rarely bothered hiding when it was apparently useless to his opinion.
Naruto and Tayuya were facing each other on the field, hands ready to attack the opponent, Tayuya's hands on her flute and Naruto's ready to form seals.
From what I understand she's supposed to be quite powerful, I mustn't underestimate her just because she's a girl, I'll overwhelm her from the beginning , was planning Naruto.
Humpf, he looks pretty weak but even if I know he has powerful jutsu he will be no match for me in my level 2... , was thinking Tayuya.
" Hajime ! ", said Orochimaru with unrestrained anticipation for the show that was going to happen in front of him.
" Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu ! ", shouted Naruto as hundreds of shadow clones surrounded Tayuya.
Oh ? He can make this many ? This will be very convenient for his training... , thought Orochimaru.
" Summoning no Jutsu ! ", said Tayuya making 3 very ugly beings appear and she began playing her flute, putting them in defense formation around her while weird marks started spreading on her body.
Naruto sent some clones to attack her to see her way of fighting and waited for the results. Tayuya played again and the three monsters tore apart the clones.
Is that all ? So boring ... , thought Naruto as he then sent sent all his clones to beat them up.
However, as the clones were getting closer, Tayuya played another melody and some weird big worms came out of the monsters' mouths going through the clones and making them disappear.
" Is that all you got, gaki ? ", taunted Tayuya.
" No, and you're not going to beat this so easily ! Kageryuudan no Jutsu ! ", shouted Naruto, making a giant dragon appear and speed towards the monsters.
The worms took large bites out of the shadow dragon but it held firm and managed to take out the monsters before it finally disappeared.
Oh, a draw... but things should get interesting starting now..., thought Orochimaru as Tayuya's seal was changing to level 2...
The heck... she doesn't look human anymore and all this power... is it coming from her ? , thought Naruto.
The level 2 allows me to use the most powerful genjutsu I know, he's finished ! Oh, I know... why don't I use 'that' to defeat him ?, thought Tayuya as she prepared a very special genjutsu...
Demonic Flute : Dream Sound Trauma
One moment Naruto was in the middle of a training ground, the other he found himself near a lake he recognized from Wave country.
Huh ? What am I doing here ? Something isn't right... , thought Naruto.
" Naruto-kun... ", said a familiar voice from the mist in front of him.
Soon a form came out of the mist and Naruto recognized the person instantly.
" Haku ?! ", whispered Naruto with a trembling voice, completely forgetting about the weirdness of the situation.
However, a loud sound soon made him freeze, and what he saw next made his blood run cold, the copy-nin Kakashi had just thrown his arm through Haku, scattering blood everywhere, and with his Sharingan speeding he said :
" You're next. "
In that instant, Naruto snapped.
Outside of Naruto's mind, Tayuya was smirking at the effects her genjutsu was having on him while Orochimaru was judging Naruto's abilities :
He's quite efficient with high-level ninjutsu, he can easily improve his taijutsu with some training but it seems he has a major flaw : genjutsu. It doesn't seem like he can resist it and even less perform it...
Suddenly, they felt a wave of chakra rising from Naruto and before Tayuya had the time to even say 'crap', a red-eyed and clawed Naruto had already crossed the distance between them and started attacking her relentlessly.
Holy shit, how did he get so much stronger ?! I won't be able to dodge him much longer and I can't stay indefinitely in level 2, this is bad ! , thought Tayuya.
Oh ? The Kyuubi's chakra certainly does wonders to his strength and speed, but the way he fights it's obvious he lost control. Such a pity, I will have to stop this fight... , thought Orochimaru with a chuckle.
Orochimaru sneaked upon Naruto, searched and took a quick look to the seal containing the Kyuubi before preparing a new seal : Gogyou Fuuin (Five Elements Seal); and he applied it over the previous one, effectively putting an end to the Kyuubi's supply of chakra and leaving Naruto unconscious. Once he was sure all the chakra from the Kyuubi had evacuated from Naruto's chakra's paths, he removed his seal and Naruto soon woke up.
" Kukuku, it seems Tayuya-chan inadvertently triggered a quite sensitive memory of yours, Naruto-kun... ", explained Orochimaru.
" Oh... well, don't do it again, damnit ! ", shouted an annoyed-looking Naruto.
" Eh ! I didn't do it on purpose ! How was I supposed to know you would react like that ?! Damned brat ! ", replied Tayuya angrily.
" Anyways, did I pass the test ? ", asked Naruto.
" Well, you certainely proved you were strong enough, but I still have to see if you have any affinity with my fighting style... therefore, Summoning no Jutsu ! ", declared Orochimaru as he summoned a common snake.
" Wah... that's really convenient ! No need to bring food anymore, it will save me a lot of money ! ", exclaimed Naruto with a grin.
Yes, snakes are definitely convenient... huh ? Food ? Don't tell me... , wondered Orochimaru as he started to be in a cold sweat.
" You fail. I can't take you as an apprentice, but as I said before I will still make you stronger, we'll just have to find a style more suited for you. I'll take a long look at the scroll you brought me and I'll decide how to train you later. Tayuya, guide him to his new room in your section, get him acquainted with the others... ", announced Orochimaru.
" Will do, Orochimaru-sama ", said Tayuya as she led Naruto to his new home, bickering on their way.
" Eh, Tayuya-chan, you know you looked really cool when you transformed ! You looked like a demon, it kind of suited you... ", said Naruto.
" Ah... Eh ! What do you mean it suits me to look like a demon ?! Was that supposed to be a compliment or an insult, you damned brat ?! ", asked Tayuya, looking annoyed and slightly confused.
Well, it shouldn't be too much difficult to turn him into the perfect weapon, though he still seems quite soft-hearted, I will have to change that... I'm sure his inner demon will be a great help to influence him... , planned Orochimaru with a dark and gleeful chuckle towards the future.
