"Wait." Amarante spoke as Orochimaru looked at her. She seemed to be calculating her thoughts as she looked at the three. So he'll take me regardless of me accepting or not. I don't even have a chance against them. One is a sannin who killed the 3rd Hokage. The other has the Sharingan, and that man, Kabuto, from what mom has told me has amazing mystic palm styles. Basically, if you put all of their powers against me, they can will. Also Orochimaru can summon father. And if he performs the seal that controls father, then I am pitted against a sannin, a prodigy of the sannin, a Sharingan wielder, and a healer. My odds are not in my favor. This is a fucked up day. "How can I be sure that you won't use my father? How can I be sure that you are going to control father and deny him his free will?"
"I will perform the summoning jutsu with your blade at my throat. If you see me summoning and then binding, you can kill me." Orochimaru coolly said as he looked at the girl. Inside he knew that it was a big risk. Amarante could kill in a blink of an eye. "Now Amarante-kun, can we proceed onto the Village of Sound, it is a long ways over."
Ryo sat in his bed as he looked at the ceiling. Counting the grooves in the ceiling, he waited for the idle time to pass by. His heart started to feel heavy and he started to feel as if something was wrong. Wanting to shake himself of the feeling, he walked out of his room and then out into the public. Something was wrong and he could feel it. Call it an intuition or something but something was happening and he needed to talk to someone about it. Quickly he ran over to Taketo's.
"Ryo." Tenten simply stated as she looked at the young man. Tenten then smiled. "Would you like something?" She asked.
"I was wondering if Taketo was here." He said looking at Tenten.
"No, he had an ANBU mission. He left yesterday." Tenten said sadly remembering that both her husband and her son were on the ANBU mission.
"Well thank you very much Tenten-chan." Ryo said and then he immediately left. Running through town he looked for Amarante in the most obvious places. Now there was just one place he could go. Her home. Slowly he ascended the stair and nervously, he knocked on the door. Waiting for a few minutes, he looked around to see that some people were staring at him and pointing at him. As he heard the door unlatch, he looked back at it. The person who opened it was surprised to see him.
"Ryo." She simply stated as she saw the boy. He looked at her and then immediately lowered his gaze. "Ryo? What do you need?"
"Is Amarante here? I need to speak with her."
"No, she isn't here, she had a mission. Is something wrong?"
"I don't know. I feel like something is wrong."
"Well, why don't you come in, let's talk."
"No its okay Haruno-chan, I'll be fine." Ryo spoke as he began to walk away.
"Ryo, come on, at least come inside for a cup of tea."
"Sure." Ryo walked into the house and noticed the beauty of it. He never saw something like this any where. They house felt comfortable and peaceful. Unlike his previous home. He sat down looking at the happy pictures of Amarante and Taro and then new ones with Taketo with Amarante and Taro with Naina. He grew jealous of both of the twins but then was led astray when Sakura handed him a cup of tea. "Thank you." He said while taking the cup from Sakura.
"What is wrong?"
"Why are you so nice to me?" Ryo asked the mother. Sakura smiled at him and then put her cup down.
"I am being nice to you because you are Sasuke's son and Sasuke was my friend."
"But I killed him."
"You killed him because you wanted to protect your mother. I understand that Ryo." Sakura said as she looked at the young man.
"No, that's not right. I knew, from the bottom of my black heart that what she was doing was bad but she was my mother after all."
"She still is."
"No. She is not my mother. That…traitor is not my mother." Ryo said as he stared off into space. "Father always told me to be loyal to your country. He told me that it was all you had. He told me that blood means nothing because your family is Konoha. I was foolish to believe my mother who said that everyone was against her."
"She had the right to say that Ryo. When she first came here, she was not welcome. We play a large part in that. It is not all her fault. Also, when your father and mother returned to the village, many of them knew about Taro and Amarante so they didn't expect your mother to come into the village."
"That was unfair to you. Come to think of it, if I didn't exist. If my father had indeed come back to Konoha to marry you, then he wouldn't be dead. Mother wouldn't be in jail. And Setseyu and Hayato would not have damaged the village as they are doing now."
"No, but the thing that would be bad is that you didn't exist."
"I think that would be better for anyone." Ryo stated as he took the first sip of his tea. Sakura was about to answer to that but Taro entered. He walked into the living room and noticed that Ryo was there.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Sorry, I should leave." Ryo stood up. "Thank you for your hospitality Haruno-chan." Turning to Taro he spoke "Taro." Then he walked out of the house and straight back to his apartment.
Taro looked at his mother. "What was he doing here?"
"He was here on business."
"Mom. What was he doing here?"
"It is for me to know."
"Mom, I'll ask again. What was he doing here?"
"Listen up pal," Sakura said getting up. "You may be the leader of the Uchiha clan but I am still your mother. I do what I please. Understand?"
"Hn."
Amarante stared at Orochimaru as he performed his jutsu. She knew what she was doing was wrong but she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Hayato sat next to Kabuto as Kabuto watched Amarante closely making sure she didn't try to escape. Amarante stood behind Orochiamru with her blade at his throat. "I'll begin." Orochimaru summoned the body and did the necessary seals. "Let him sleep in the coffin for the night. Then tomorrow morning we transport him to a room. He'll wake up some time tomorrow."
"Why not now?" Amarante asked Orochiamru.
"His body is coming back from the dead. He'll be in a whole lot of pain of he wakes up. It is better if he is asleep. Kabuto, take her to her room."
After all left, Orochimaru stood over the coffin. "We meet again. Sasuke-kun. This time though, I'll have your daughter's body. With her power of the sharingan and her mother's chakra controlling powers, I'll be unstoppable. Thank you for attempting to kill me and making me realize that you could procreate something much more valuable to me. Thank you very much."
The new Akatsuki stood inside the new hidden vicinity inside the mountains. Konan stood there as did Zetsu. The only original members except for Madara. Now there were six more.
Yuuto Sho, a tracker with amazing capabilities.
Jugo, one of Orochimaru's former experiments
Mitashi Michi, one of the brightest medic nins.
Touji Zaku, the son of Mizuki, a skilled killer
Hozuki Suigetsu, one of the seven swordsmen of the Mist.
And
Uchiha Setseyu. The Sharingan Wielder.
