Chapter 10: Visitation

"In the name of the moon, we will punish you!"

"What are you saying, dattebayo?" Naruto asked the blonde girl in the red, blue, and white leotard with the weird buns on her head and the impractical long pigtails that was standing in front of four other girls in color coded red, blue, yellow-orange, and green. "In case you didn't notice, we just saved your lives!" He pointed to the remains of what had once been a crowd of possessed women before they had knocked them out.

"You murdered them!" The girl with the red skirt burst out. "They were innocent civilians!"

"They were trying to kill you," Sasuke pointed out coldly.

"We could have healed them," The blonde girl sniffled, clutching a strange pink wand topped with a crescent moon and a glistening silver crystal. Sasuke narrowed his eyes. That was a very powerful magic item she was holding there…

"Did you want to take a look at this, otouto?" Itachi asked, handing Sasuke the wand. It was very fortunate indeed that Itachi had not actually touched the Ginzuishou, as having his moon guardian touch the source of such pure power would have caused some sort of reaction to happen – Sasuke was not sure what. Light-type, Sasuke thought, and also moon-type… he tossed it back to this Sailor Moon and she caught it, almost tripping over her own two feet.

"You give us no choice," The girl in green said, and attacked with lightning. The girl in red flung an ofuda at him, and followed with a fireball. Sasuke looked at the paper seal blankly. Did she think this was going to hold him? The girl in blue at least managed an impressive mist that spread quite widely, but Naruto's wind scattered it before it could do much. And all right, the girl in orange had had a nice beam of concentrated light. But the others were pathetic! When Sakura's punch sent the blonde leader flying into a nearby building, the others all froze. Seriously, how weak were they?

"That's enough," Another voice said. Itachi turned and saw an older woman with long, green hair, wearing a black and maroon version of the leotard. "I apologize for my… acquaintances. They are young and foolish."

"Hn," Sasuke said, Sharingan still blazing in his eyes. Itachi quickly moved behind his brother and wrapped his arms around him, nuzzling him gently. Sasuke relaxed slightly, although he didn't deactivate the Sharingan.

"They are, however, the only defense our world has against the forces of darkness that threaten it." Sailor Pluto continued. Sakura winced. Naruto laughed. Sasuke frowned.

"Fine," Sasuke bit out. "Just point us to the Gateway Card, and we'll go."

Pluto gave a mental sigh of relief.

"But you owe us one," Sasuke's eyes glittered, as he activated Time and restored the broken Senshi to full health. "We'll be back to collect someday."

That was what she was afraid of.

The first test of the Chuunin Exams was easy.

Surviving the Forest of Death would not be so much of a challenge, Sakura thought. She and Sasuke and Naruto were in an unfamiliar environment, yes, but they had certainly gone through a lot of training, and they did have a secret weapon on their side. That being said, they hadn't expected to run into Orochimaru of the Sannin right off the bat.

"I will have all the Clow Cards," Orochimaru gloated.

Sasuke decided that Orochimaru clearly had not done all his research if he was mixing up the Clon Cards with the Clow Cards. Admittedly, moving in slow motion was aggravating, but at least Orochimaru hadn't killed any of them yet. Sakura was clutching her Sealing Wand defensively, Naruto had just exploded his way out of a giant snake, and he was trying to calculate if his control of Time would negate Orochimaru's use of the Timeslip Card while trying to ignore the poison already pumping through his veins.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed. First things first, he thought. Dash, Mirror, and Twin flashed, negating the effects of the Slow Card and enabling the three of them to move normally. Orochimaru looked momentarily surprised, but he could still feel his body violently struggling against the effects of the damned bite. Sakura attacked with Tree, not a bad choice, considering that they were in a forest, but Orochimaru just phased away from her attack, slipping through the branches of the trees like a puff of air and when he attempted to use Time to stop the man, it was completely ineffective. Or was it?

Sasuke's Sharingan spun as he watched Naruto's Shadow Clones leap at Orochimaru, possessed with Fight's skill, each strike backed with Power. The forest around them was quickly becoming decimated, and he could see Orochimaru panting as he dodged and destroyed Naruto's endless army of clones as well as avoiding his and Sakura's elemental attacks. If Timeslip was anything like Time, it would have a pretty steep energy cost, and even a Sannin like Orochimaru could not use it continuously. He calculated that Orochimaru's energy level was low enough, so when Orochimaru tried to escape again, Sasuke cast Time. This time, when Orochimaru flickered away, Sasuke followed him with Through, having sealed off this area with Loop. He hit Orochimaru with Lock, met the Sannin's furious eyes.

"You think you've won, Sasuke-kun," Orochimaru hissed. Sasuke was taken aback when Lock began to dissolve. What was happening? Orochimaru should not be able to break Lock! No, he thought. This was different – this was similar to Erase – but Bunny-chan hadn't mentioned anything like it! His worst fears had just been confirmed, but which Card was it?

Sasuke called Lock back, before Orochimaru could absorb it. "Too bad, Sasuke-kun," Orochimaru taunted him. "With this Card, I can absorb anything you throw at me. And now, I think I'll take your Cards…"

Sasuke smiled sweetly, and released Void. A moment later, he emerged into the real world with Orochimaru's body neatly separated in six parts and properly sealed in a storage seal. There was no more cursed seal anywhere on his neck or poison in his body.

"Ready to go," Naruto asked.

Sakura handed him a handful of soldier pills. Sasuke ate them slowly, and then nodded. "Are you two ready to go?"

Naruto cracked his knuckles. Sakura grinned. Sasuke shrugged. His mission was complete, but he owed it to his team to see them through the Chuunin Exams. Also, it would be somewhat suspicious if his rank was revealed through outside sources. He had already retrieved the scroll from Orochimaru's body, so they had a complete set. Now, they simply had to make it to the Tower. So, that was what they did.

After their arrival, Sasuke reported his completed mission and turned over Orochimaru's body for disposal, minus, of course, his Clon Cards. Those would be a bit of a problem. Technically, since he had killed their last owner, they were now his Cards, but Orochimaru's name was still written on them. And, as Orochimaru's soul was still in pieces scattered all over the country in various locations, he wasn't truly dead. Sasuke sighed. For now, he put binding seals on the Cards and put them in a secure location.

In the preliminary exams, Sasuke easily defeated Yoroi with taijutsu, Sakura knocked out Ino, and Naruto took down Kiba. All three of them were slated to fight in the third round of the Chuunin Exams, which suited them just fine. Naruto told Sasuke that Gaara was a jinchuuriki, which Sasuke figured wouldn't be too much of a problem. After all, he wasn't the host of the Kyuubi, and probably not the Hachibi either. Sasuke was pretty confident he could handle anything with fewer tails. If worst came to worst, he could always use Lock to reinforce the seal holding the demon in place, and then just beat up the kid.

Kakashi wisely decided to train Naruto for the upcoming Chuunin Exams, which suited the other two just fine. Sakura needed to concentrate on the rest of the Clon Cards, with a few exceptions, and Sasuke was training with Itachi. Itachi really was a genius, Sasuke thought fondly, watching as he avoided every single one of Arrow's shots. He was so much better at everything… he picked up things so much faster! But Sasuke was still selfish. He didn't want to share too much with his brother. He was afraid that if he let Itachi get stronger than him, he would leave, so he wouldn't let his Cards fight him at more than quarter power, and he wouldn't let him learn everything about them, either.

"Sasuke," Itachi interrupted his musings.

Sasuke blinked, seeing that Arrow had finished. "Yes, niisan?"

"Would you like to have lunch now?"

Sasuke nodded, getting up. He thanked Arrow for his help, receiving a hug in response. Sasuke smiled and hugged Arrow tightly, the archer joining them for a simple lunch of onigiri and fruit.

"Did you train Sasuke as well," Itachi asked, making conversation.

"Yes, Itachi-san," Arrow said politely. "Of course, he took much longer than you to avoid my arrows, even when I was not aiming for his vital spots."

Sasuke nodded, blushing.

"…How old was he when he attempted this training?" Itachi questioned further, taking a sip of his tea. He had to know.

"Nine," Arrow replied, reaching for another onigiri. "He'd activated the Sharingan by then, of course."

Itachi looked at Sasuke in horror.

Sasuke blinked at his older brother, not understanding what was wrong. "Niisan?"

Itachi was trying, quite unsuccessfully, to banish the mental image of nine year old Sasuke's body riddled with arrows. He wasn't completely wrong. Of course, Sasuke had never actually died. That wasn't to say he hadn't come close many, many times, but with Time's ability to rewind time and heal injuries, it had never been a problem.

"Is something wrong?" Sasuke asked, confused.

"No," Itachi finally replied. The other two occupants of the table looked at him, and then kept eating. Itachi managed to choke down his share of the onigiri. He couldn't help but feel as though Sasuke was only slipping farther and farther away from him with each passing day.

When the Mind Card attempted to take over Sasuke's body, Void sucked it right out of him. Sasuke claimed the Mind Card without a fuss. When the Reshape Card attacked days later, the same strategy was effective. Sasuke could think of quite a few fun things to try with those two Cards, but he'd wait, to see if he'd actually be able to keep them. Meanwhile, Sakura was doing quite well, capturing the rest of the Cards, even the notorious Whore. It was rather pathetic, Sakura thought, even mustering up some sympathy for the poor young girl, condemned to spend eternity as a disembodied spirit. She felt bad using Wind to beat her up, but what else could she do?

After capturing the Whore, she, Sasuke, and Orochimaru were summoned to Naruto's location to fight his alternate self, which, aside from having huge orange batwings, really didn't look much different from Naruto. Orochimaru used Timeslip right off the bat, only for Naruto to tell him, point blank, that Timeslip was a Card that fell under his control, before disemboweling the man and finishing him off for good. Sasuke handed Naruto's ass to him using his own set of Clow Cards, which was not exactly against the rules, and Sakura figured that between Fire, Metal, Lightning and Stone, Naruto didn't do too well. Naruto ignored Bunny-chan's whining, decided that he wasn't going to make Sakura and Sasuke fight it out, as Sakura didn't really want Sasuke's Cards anyway, awarded Orochimaru's Cards to Sakura, and then promptly devoured and absorbed Bunny-chan's powered-up form and his alter.

"I'm glad that's over with," He sighed.

Sakura looked slightly disturbed, but she shrugged. "You've got the powers of both now," She guessed as she picked up the unconscious Bunny-chan. Naruto nodded.

Sasuke shrugged. "So, how's your training been?"

"Well," Naruto stretched. "Kakashi-sensei found me an even bigger pervert to train with, and he taught me this…"
