Dosu awoke to find Zaku and Kin sleeping against him, still out cold. In the distance he saw that the Leaf village Shinobi had taken back the village. All Sand and Sound Ninja were gone, no where to be seen. In the distance the giant shadowy cube was receding. And he could see Orochimaru surrounded by some other ninja leaving the scene.
"Yes runaway, run while you still can, but no matter where you run we will find you. My lord" Dosu recited maliciously. He stood up and carried Zaku and Kin on his back. Hai, who had been guarding them while they were slept, stood up and followed Dosu back to their room.
Later that night, Dosu sat gazing out at the full moon in the window as Kin, and Zaku were getting bandaged up.
"So you checked those coffins kid?" Asked Zaku.
"Yes it was as I said before", answered Hai. "The bodies inside them were dead."
"So then its true, the three of us weren't meant to kill Sasuke at all", said Zaku, "We were here for that Jutsu, we were here just to die." Hai looked solemn.
"Orochimaru always said my Kekkei Genkai made me unique, I had always thought that meant I was more than his other soldiers, I thought it meant I was more than just one of his pawns."
"That third coffin wasn't meant for you Hai", said Dosu. Hai looked at him in surprise. "Based on the abilities you showed today, it would have been foolish for Orochimaru to teach you to master that ability only to sacrifice you later". "Zaku, Kin, and I were just given weapons as our abilities and taught how to use them, no big trouble, but yours looks like it took much teaching to perfect. If I hadn't been "killed" by Gaara I would have been in the coffin alongside Zaku and Kin and the three of us would be dead."
"He lied to all of us." Kin shouted, "He said he would make us all stronger, that killing Sasuke and passing this exam was the test we had to pass", she paused "It was all just a lie, he didn't take us to make us stronger, he took us because we were already weak, because he needed three soldiers to sacrifice". Zaku groaned, he remembered life before Orochimaru, being too weak to fight for himself, needing to steal and suffer the consequences in order to survive. All until he met Orochimaru and received his chakra skeleton. He had thought his life had changed for good and that he would never have to take a beating to get what he wanted ever again. But he was wrong. The skeleton was only made to gain his trust and his arms were only healed so the 2nd Hokage would be able to use him. It was all a lie.
"So kid", he said turning over to Hai, was that thing you did earlier, with all that screaming.
"That", Hai began, "Was the reason Orochimaru trained me so vigorously." The three of them gave him their full attention. " He had told me about you two, Zaku and Dosu. The weapons woven into your bodies were based off of my Kekkei Genkai.". "I have almost total control over the element of sound. I can emit screams at such a high pitch I can make your ear drums explode, or scream at such a low pitch that its stops brain function and as you saw before I can scream at such high decibels that almost becomes a physical blast. I also can control how my opponent and myself hear. I can make any sound as loud or soft as I want it and my most prized gift is that I can detect the movement of any object around with such precision its like I can tell what my opponent is going to do before they do it. Lord Orochimaru used to call my ability the Auditory Sharingan.
Everyone save for Kin was listening intently. She was lost in nostalgia, remembering how she became to be in Orochimaru's possession. It had bee only two years since it happened. Her friends and her in the Village Hidden In The Mountains, practicing needle throwing, Kin had always fallen short at this skill, her aim was shabby and here needles never hit their mark. The four of them had been going home after a day of practicing when they were ambushed in an alley. Four men stood before them and started running toward them. However, since they had just been practicing the four girls had weapons in hand and threw them at them men. . .
Three of them fell. Kin's needles had gone off target and the man they were aimed for jumped on top of her. Her scared friends ran away, but because she wasn't skilled enough she was not able to escape. The four men each took turns ravishing her. Violating her until she was broken and bleeding and too weak to fight back any more. Until a fifth man stood in the alley, the four turned around to see him. He casually raised his arms out in front of him. Kin watched in horror as the man's fingers turned into snakes, snakes that extended out toward the four men, wrapping around each of them, suffocating them, and biting chunks out of their flesh slowly mutilating three of them to death. He purposely let the fourth one escape, the one that had originally attacked Kin.
He stepped toward the frightened girl, picked her up, dusted her off and told her to put her clothes back on. She quickly put her ripped shirt and pants on and tried to run but the man stopped her. He place six special silver needles in her hand and pointed her toward the way the rapist had run, and then disappeared into thin air. Kin, without even really thinking about what she was doing, slowly walked in the direction the man had pointed until she found the rapist. His path was blocked by an enormous snake. The terrified man turned around to see the little teenaged girl he had just raped standing in his way. The snake man appeared behind her again.
"You know what this man just did", he said in creepy womanish voice. "These needles are special, they will hit any where you will them too." "You know what to do." And he was gone again. She looked into the rapist's eyes, the eyes that had just been staring into her's with crazed lust were now staring with pure terror. A look of pure hatred appeared on her face. She threw one of the needles into the center of the man's knee cap. He roared in pain, but she was not finished. She threw the second into his wrist, avoiding the vital blood vessels; she threw the third one into his throat, again avoiding the blood vessels. The fourth one landed in his forehead going deep enough to only slightly pierce his brain. He writhed in pain.
"Good", said the snake man again appearing behind her. "Now use the sixth one to finish it." Kin raised the last needle, The look of hatred had not lessened even viewing the man's pain. But instead of throwing at the man she snapped to needle in half and threw it to the ground. This action surprised even Orochimaru. She stood their watching as the man died, very, very slowly. Orochimaru was significantly impressed.
"Well my dear I certainly didn't expect you to be strong enough to kill the man in such away. But it seems your aim leaves something to be desired." She looked down at her hands, covered with dirt and blood. "If you come with me I can make sure you have precision accuracy, you'll be able to hit a tick on a tree from a mile away"
At that he turned and started walking away. He turned back around. "So are you coming or not?" Kin turned to face the village that she had called home for twelve years and then turned back around toward Orochimaru. She walked toward him and left her village behind…
"He trained with me every day until my aiming was absolutely perfect", Kin said aloud. Dosu and Zaku turned to her. "But it was only to gain my trust, so I could just be sacrificed."
Dosu sat back, It had been two years since he had met Orochimaru also. He was trying to control a demon, the Hiru-Oni. He had unleashed it hoping to use its awesome powers to amplify his own. But as soon as it had been released it went out of control and went to find someone worthy to latch onto. It found a 14 year old boy who had been walking home from the grocery store, it attacked his whole body and left it scared and beaten and had latched onto his back sucking its chakra. By the time Orochimaru found the boy it was clear that the Hiru Oni would definitely not be a suitable weapon for himself so he turned to leave.
"Please, help me", the boy said. Orochimaru turned around. The only way he wanted to help him was to kill him now. His tongue turned into a snake and he was about to kill the boy until he thought of something. This boy had to be of exceptional strength in order to have survived with the Hiru Oni on its back.
"Boy what is your name"
"Dosu", he said weakly.
"Well Dosu I'll make you a deal, If you swear you allegiance and your life to serving my will then I will relieve you of this pain. The pain was growing more immense by the minute for Dosu and he could feel that the end was near.
"I swear it" He said with his last breaths.
"Five pronged Seal!" Shouted Orochimaru. He slammed the Hiru-Oni in the back and it had been dormant ever since.
"He then ended the Hiru-Oni project, fitted me with the Melody Arm, and taught me the ways of the Sound.", said Dosu. "He taught us all that to exist without a purpose is to not exist at all and that our purpose in life was to serve him. If we did not serve him it was the same as being dead."
"Well we served him that's what ended up almost killing us", said Zaku angrily.
"So then its settled then", said Dosu "The three us have new purpose in living". Kin and Zaku both nodded. "We live, to kill, Lord Orochimaru.". . .
