Chapter 29: Kabuto's Sacrifice! Sasuke's Power!
A deadly looking horde of Demons lunged themselves at Sasuke while Orochimaru and Kabuto held off the prized Five Tailed Phoenix Demon, Orochimaru summoned a large snake to keep it busy as he performed a long sequence of hand signs and yelled: "Forbidden Jutsu! Death Reaper's Seal!" Orochimaru with his free hand sent a barrage of snakes to grab and hold Kabuto like a second hand. Kabuto screamed in pain as he said: "What are you doing Lord Orochimaru!?"
Orochimaru laughed darkly as he replied: "Offering you as a sacrifice…"
Kabuto looked in horror as the summoned Shinigami snickered and moved toward him, and with a flick of his wrist an embodiment of chakra manifests and rips Kabuto's soul from his body and throws Kabuto into the depths of the Death Reaper's belly. The Shinigami then turned to the Seven Tailed Phoenix Demon and with a slash of his sword the demon's body was destroyed and with it's remaining power it sealed the demon spirit into the body of Sasuke Uchiha. The Shinigami happy with it's sacrifice vanished leaving the beaten body of Sasuke on the ground with a peculiar double spiral seal on his stomach. Orochimaru grabbed Sasuke with a menacing grin on his face as he thought: "Sasuke is now a Jinchuuriki with a powerful demon sealed within his body along with a bloodline limit… My prized body is becoming stronger, the Nine Tails will be no match for Five Tails and the Sharingan!"
And with those words the Snake Sannin vanished into oblivion along with his prized Jinchuuriki Vessel.
Naruto, Neji, Jiraiya, and Hinata were frantically searching for Orochimaru's trail, after about a half hour Neji spoke out: "Everyone I found Kabuto, but something's wrong with his body."
This comment immediately caught everyone's attention and Jiraiya said: "Take us to him."
There were two craters in the ground as scars of the previous encounter as Naruto and the rest of the group appeared next to Kabuto's body and Neji stared at Kabuto with a look of fear crossed with curiosity. Jiraiya immediately saw this and asked: "What is it?"
Neji continued to stare as he said: "His body is still alive but I can't see any traces of his chakra or spirit."
Jiraiya looked down at the ground darkly as he said: "Damn you Orochimaru what are you up to?"
Sasuke stirred and as he opened his eyes he found he was lying down on a bed in a very dark place, he got up and when he looked down at his stomach there was a strange seal placed there. He was about to get up when all of the sudden an agonizing pain shot through his body. He screamed as his eyes became bloodshot and fiery red chakra poured out of his body constantly, seven spiraling vortexes of chakra erupted from his many chakra points, burning everything it touches, after a minute Sasuke strained his body and released his dark mark and forced the Demon's chakra into submission before he sealed his dark mark shortly afterward. The door opened and Orochimaru emerged from the doorway, he snickered darkly as he said: "Sasuke we are going to do some training, follow me."
Sasuke nodded with a dark look on his face as he replied: "As you wish Lord Orochimaru."
Jiraiya, Neji and Hinata all watched as Naruto desperately searched the area they had discovered Kabuto's body, he even sent out a scouting unit of his shadow clones to try and track Orochimaru and Sasuke down, after a few hours Jiraiya placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder and said: "Naruto it will be harder to track them down during the night, it would be best to set up camp, get some rest and try again tomorrow morning."
Naruto sighed and replied: "Yeah you're right Jiraiya.."
And with those words Naruto conjured up another group of shadow clones to gather firewood and fish in the river while Naruto unfolded his sleeping bag. Neji and Hinata set up their sleeping bags as well as Naruto and Jiraiya got the fire started. Jiraiya and Neji had gone to sleep and the second they appeared to be asleep Hinata inches herself closer to Naruto and pressed herself agaisnt him. Naruto smiled and cuddled with her as he ran his fingertips through her hair, Hinata smiled as he held her in his arms and after a moment of silence she said: "Don't worry Naruto I'm sure we'll find Sasuke.."
Naruto smiled and kissed her cheek as he replied: "I'm sure we will too Hinata... Sorry if I'm obsessing over this a little... Once upon a time Sasuke Uchiha was my best friend but now he's just a traitor who deserves death.. The main reason I wanted to get Sasuke back was to make Sakura happy.. That is until you came into my life..."
Naruto smiled warmly at Hinata causing her to blush and bury her face in his chest, Naruto laughed and kissed her lips deeply as he whispered: "I'm glad you're here for me Hinata..."
And with those words the lovers fell asleep in each other's arms, unaware of the events yet to take place...
Sorry that the chapter came out a little short but I'm just glad I'm moving the story along, hope you like my results even half as much as I do. I'm definitely on a roll here and I'm very happy with the direction I've taken this story in, as for facts I know the only way to seal a Demon is to seal it into a living vessel's who's chakra coils haven't developed yet so I thought the side effect of what Orochimaru did was Sasuke's Life span shortening, giving him access to nearly limitless power but at the same time making it easier for the demon to possess his body, anyway as my readers I wanted your opinions on that, hope to hear from you, leave a REVIEW please! Peace! – DemonicLove555
