Chapter 35 Master vs. apprentice part 1 the Uchiha's power
Gravenimage: well since I'm officially sick of always doing the disclaimers I decided to have someone else say it for me, so Sasuke if you could please.
Sasuke appears in a cloud of smoke: why do you want me to say the disclaimers?
Gravenimage: didn't you hear me I'm sick of always being the one to say them it's time for someone else to say it.
Sasuke: whatever this is boring.
Gravenimage: just say it already.
Sasuke: hn.
Gravenimage slapping his forehead: I meant to say it on our language not your language.
Sasuke: whatever Gravenimage doesn't own Naruto and Dead or Alive they are the property of Massashi Kishimoto Tecmo and Team Ninja there you happy.
Gravenimage doing the victory dance: yes I am thank you it feels so good when someone else says it.
Sasuke: I'm done so can I get back to Ayane?
Gravenimage giving a grin: what's the hurry don't tell me you two were playing naughty ninjas.
Sasuke blushing madly: shut up we weren't doing anything of the sort.
Gravenimage: oh come on there's nothing to be embarrassed about you should consider yourself lucky to be with a hot kunoichi like Ayane.
Sasuke still blushing: I said shut up at least my xbox 360 didn't have the motherboard busted and never got it fix.
Gravenimage with a sweat dropped: hey that freaking repair guy was charging me four hundred bucks to fix it that's twice for what I spend to buy it no chance in hell I was going to waste that much money on it.
Sasuke with a grin: you could've given it back to Microsoft and they would've fixed it for you for free.
Gravenimage: yeah but that would've taken like eight months to arrive forget it I'm not the patient type.
Sasuke: whatever it's your loss now you have a Wii.
Gravenimage: and what's wrong with having a Wii?
Sasuke: it's too childish and stupid.
Gravenimage looking angry: okay that's it you said the disclaimer now you go to where Orochimaru is today's chapter will be about your fight with him.
Sasuke gasped: what this chapter is my fight with him wait bring me back to Ayane we were making out and she was willing to go to second base with me and……….uh oh"
Gravenimage with an evil grin: too bad for you bye bye.
Gravenimage snaps his fingers and Sasuke vanishes: no on with the chapter I hope you folks enjoy it, oh I almost forgot this chapter will have spoilers from manga 392.
Sakura was running the corridors of the DOATEC facility at a fast pace, she just recently woke up from her exhaustion of chakra after fighting the clone of Alpha- 152 and she needed to hurry. How long has she's been unconscious her friends needed her, who knows how many injuries they got or how tire they must be. She ran as fast as she could she knew her teammates and the ninjas will be fine but still she couldn't stop worrying about them, she wasn't going to fail any of them. Ever since she became a chunin she promised herself to never be a burden to the team to always make herself useful as much as she could, no more she wasn't going to be the one to watch over their backs. She has cut down ties with her twelve year old self years ago turning herself into a new and better Sakura, she smile feeling proud of herself defeating the powered version of the Kasumi clone has proven to her how much she has grown over the years. One thing that has really wonder was the power surge she felt when she was fighting the Kasumi clone, she felt her sword calling to her and all of the sudden she felt the huge power flowing through her like someone else was guiding her.
It was weird she didn't know what it meant but somehow she felt like it was very familiar to her, like she knew this power it was too complicated she didn't understand it. While she was running she ran into one of the security guards which he was about to shoot her with his rifle, until he ended up on the other side of the wall by one of her punches she notice that he had a communicator device. She took it thinking it could become useful while they are still within the facility, she continued running the corridor in hope to find her comrades when she reached a door. When the doors slid opened she saw it was one of the facilities test rooms, the whole place was wrecked and damage looks like there was a fight here not so long ago. Her eyes widened as she saw a fallen body in the distance, she gasped recognizing the kunoichi Ayane she was unconscious. She rushed to her checking her vital signs and sighed in relief hearing breathing and her heartbeat she was still alive and well and quickly began checking her wounds.
She started using her green chakra to heal her wounds (she's lucky she wasn't hit in any vital organs she only has a couple of deep wounds, I will be able to heal them but I have to reserve enough chakra for the others who knows if they are injure too please everyone be safe)
Elsewhere
Naruto and Kasumi were having a tough time running in the longest corridor they have ever run they just stop a couple of security guards not too long ago. Looks like the facility was getting reinforcements to stop them from proceeding any further, they quickly took care of them however they didn't kill them thanks to Kasumi. Naruto didn't have a problem in sparring them she told him that there was no need to take their lives since they were in a hurry, he was happy hearing her he was just like her he didn't like taking people lives of course when push comes to shove he has to come to a decision whether to kill someone for sake of his village. He has found out how much he had in common with the kunoichi, they were both pacifist and didn't like meaningless conflict they were kind people by nature and they would do anything to protect their friends meaning if they have to kill in order to protect them. He took a glance at her which she glance back at him and turned her head away from him to erase the blush that rose on her cheeks, Naruto was confused by her action sometimes Kasumi would act like how his friend Hinata used to act when she was around him.
Most of the times he was with her she usually twiddle her fingers a little, her face also turned red a few times and she acted more shy than usual. There was something about the kunoichi that he couldn't understand it was something that would make her so unique and especial, perhaps that was why he always felt a warm feeling running through his heart whenever he was with her it was strange to him because he has never experience this feeling before. He knew he like being with her a lot she was probably the kindest person he has ever met, so pure and innocent yet she was deadly when she was fighting. She was a gentle soul but deadly like a rose with thorns and he like it, she was anything but weak who loves her friends and family she never deserved the fate of being a runaway ninja in the first place. His thinking was interrupted when they reached a corner, the clicking sounds of guns was heard as they were now surrounded a large group of security guards.
"Freeze don't move!!!"
Both ninjas stood their ground ready to attack at any time Naruto was holding one of his father's kunais ready to use it Kasumi took a look at him and already knew he was going to use that technique, but she needed to do something.
"You people are the ones after Donovan we won't let you get away this is as far as you go"
The guards clicked their rifles again ready to shoot them while Naruto growled (damn I have no choice but to use it again pretty soon I won't have chakra to fight Donovan)
Naruto didn't saw Kasumi making a hand seal and all of the sudden the guards were surrounded by cherry blossoms petals before they reacted they fell to the ground while Naruto was smiling at her.
"That was genjutsu you used on them" Naruto said looking at the fallen guards" Kasumi-chan are they dead?"
The kunoichi shook her head" no they're just asleep there's no need for us to kill them, by the time they wake up we'll be already too far from here probably where Donovan is"
Naruto nodded" right I already have enough killing with the guards that we killed at the mansion, let's focus on our target which is Donovan okay?"
"Yes let's find him Naruto-san and finish this once and for all for the Mugen Tenshin clan and everyone"
They resumed their running heading deeper into the long corridor, Kasumi got worry seeing that Naruto was panting a little it was obvious that he has used a lot of his chakra in their previous battles.
"Naruto-san are you all right?"
The blond jounin smiled at her" don't worry about me Kasumi-chan I can still fight and besides I have you by my side together we can take down Donovan"
Kasumi nodded and felt herself blush at his comment especially when he said by his side, judging from the look of things they were very far from reaching their target. However she felt it as well as Naruto, the more they travel the more their instincts tell them that something bad was going to happen or maybe awaiting them. Without giving it thought they continued to run the corridor, everything has been made for this moment the destruction of DOATEC was inevitable and they know it well, not if Donovan has anything to say about it.
Near the entrance to the facility
Helena, Lisa, Felipe and Tenchi were having the time of their lives they weren't in a nice suite hotel with a hot bath they were in a very tight spot they were taking cover in a wall while evading the incoming fire coming from the DOATEC security guards. They were expecting this to happened since Helena warned them that Donovan was going to call for backup he wasn't going to let them proceed any further, this mission wasn't going to be easy and they all knew it too. The plan was simple but with the security tight not to mention that they could be being watch by Donovan, fulfilling the plan was going to be complicated. Felipe took cover for a couple of seconds before gazing at the guards and shot a couple of rounds from his 9 mm, Helena and Lisa followed him by shooting from their own 9mm. Tenchi since he didn't have a gun he was making sure the guards didn't throw any grenades, and he was right as he saw a grenade landing next to them he took it and threw back at then only to be destroyed by their weapons.
Luckily everyone took cover and no one was harmed, they continued their shooting while the guards were also firing their rifles making sure that they didn't get the chance to proceed any further. The shooting battle continued for the next fifteen minutes which wasn't a good sign, the three were running low on ammo even if they brought enough ammo to help them with the infiltration. They needed to stop them for good, it wouldn't be long before they ran out of ammo completely and they will be killed by the security guards.
Felipe reloaded his 9mm while taking cover from the incoming fire" man you think they brought enough ammo with them, esos hijos de perra ya me tienen cansando"
"I agree with you Felipe but this was expected to happened Donovan wasn't going to let anyone come here without passing security, I just hope he didn't called for more reinforcements" Helena said taking an opportunity to shot her gun.
"The only way to stop Donovan is to go to the main control room it is located in the third floor, however the door is lock electronically we need a card key to open it" Lisa said.
"One of these guys could be having that card key" Tenchi said taking cover.
Felipe took cover from more fire sighing, he couldn't take it anymore seeing his friend Tenchi doing nothing he took another 9mm from his coat pocket handing it over to the Tae Won Do master" do you know how to use one of this?"
Tenchi scratch the back of his head in embarrassment" sorry Felipe I don't I'm a fighter not a gun fighter, I could easily knock those guards if they weren't armed"
"We know that Tenchi because all of us would've beaten the crap out of them if they weren't but we can't fight them in hand to hand combat, here I'll teach you it's very easy just point the gun at the guards and then pull the trigger that's it" Felipe said.
Both Helena and Lisa have to sweat dropped at Felipe's easy way to use a gun knowing that it wasn't as easy as he said, Tenchi took the gun having some confidence in himself" all right I'll give it my best"
"Just make sure you don't point it at us" Felipe said with a grin.
He nodded and took cover joining the rest of the group, Tenchi started shooting and the group was impressed at how quickly he learned. Felipe whistle in amazement he only said a simple thing and without giving Tenchi shooting lessons he was a natural, however they were still outnumber by the guards leaving them with no choice but to remain in their position.
(This isn't getting us nowhere there must be a way to get passed them) Helena thought.
She was lost in her thoughts that she didn't heard the sound of the elevator from the entrance being open, the same with the rest they were too focus in taking cover and shooting at the guards. They never felt the presence of someone else until that person was next to Helena, the blond woman took some cover but gasped as she gaze at the person next to her. The rest of the group heard her gasp and they were pretty shocked to see Christie wearing all black as usual, she was wearing black fingerless gloves and her shirt had the name of the band Black Sabbath written in white letters. They were pretty screw now expecting that the cold assassin was going to get rid of them, instead she just stood there looking at them while gazing at the incoming fire from the guards. Tenchi and Felipe continued to fire their guns while Lisa was staring at the silver haired woman, Helena was glaring at her this is the last thing she needed to face the murder of her mother.
"What do you want Christie?" asked Helena in a cold tone.
"Just checking how things were here, you look like you're in trouble" Christie said in her usual emotionless tone.
"Don't tell me you came here to help us" Lisa said with amusement in her voice like she was expecting someone like Christie to help them.
"I only came here to get even with that bastard Donovan knowing him he has already chickened out from here the coward, so things will even out by destroying this facility"
Helena and Lisa were shocked hearing this they never expected Christie of all people to help them, but it makes sense since Donovan tried to have her killed.
Felipe reloaded his 9mm" oh that's nice to hear senorita Christie because I thought you came here to try and convince me to give you your payday when you didn't kill Donovan"
The cold assassin snorted" like I want that small payment I get paid three times more than that"
Helena glared at her" yes I'm sure that Donovan paid you quite an amount to kill my mother"
"Yes he did it was quite a lot" she replied coolly ignoring the killer glare from the blond woman.
"All you two that's enough" Lisa said trying to be the voice of reason" Christie if you really want to help us then feel free to do so"
"What Lisa you can't expect us to trust her" Helena said shocked.
"You can trust me and I used to worked for Donovan let's give Christie a chance"
Helena didn't say a word but she didn't want to do this, she didn't trust her a bit especially who she was the murder of her mother.
Christie growled" don't get any ideas like I said I want to get even with Donovan I'm not doing this to help you"
"Guys we have a problem" Tenchi said taking cover from the guards fire" they are coming here we have to do something"
"Stand back let me handle this" Christie said as she took a grenade she took off the pin and threw it at the guards location only to exploded in a couple of seconds later.
When they took a look at the location of the guards they were all dead by the grenade, Christie took her custom made 9mm from her pocket while snorting at the sight.
"Rookies"
"Whoa what kind of grenade is that I thought they take a little longer before they detonate" Felipe said.
"Custom made" replied the silver haired woman" I decrease the regular time to detonate by a couple of seconds"
"That's dangerous" Tenchi said while looking at the destroyed sight.
"It's more affective that way, so let's get out of here before more of them show up" Chrities said.
The group nodded and left running straight ahead Helena was keeping her eyes on the assassin she was still not comfortable working with her it's not every day that you team up with the murder of her mother. They reached the elevator only to find it locked Lisa took her lap top and try to hack the system, she sighed while closing the computer.
"It's no use the elevators are lock I can't deactivate the system from here, we have no choice but to go to the main control room"
Helena nodded" we'll take the stairs"
They left heading to the entrance that will lead to the stairs, they ran taking the stairs until reaching the third floor. Hoping that they reached the main control room without anymore interference from the guards, but deep down they doubt it expecting that by now the whole facility will be full of the security guards. They reached the third floor while Lisa took her lab top using it to find the location of the door that will lead them to the control room they heard footsteps not so far from their location meaning they weren't alone, they headed straight into a corner where they met by a couple of metal doors each and every single one of them had a red light on located next to the door.
Lisa checked all of the doors" they are locked too it must be part of the security protocol that Donovan install we won't be able to open them"
"Look I don't want to sound pushy but we have to find the control room and fast, those footsteps we heard earlier could be more guards heading our way now shut your trap and let's keep going" Christie said in a rude tone.
Lisa frowned at her comment and her lack of manners but nevertheless she was right, as they continued running the footsteps were getting closer. Everyone was getting a bad feeling about thinking they were being followed by more guards, after a couple of minutes running the corridor of doors they reached another metal door bigger than the others. Lisa checked the lock on next to the door it was different and it had a slid to put a card in it.
"This is it the main control room is right behind this door"
"All right then use the card and opened it" Felipe said.
Lisa gasped realizing the truth" oh no we forgot to checked if any of the guards back at the first floor had the key card in their possession"
"Great" Tenchi said with a sweat dropped.
"Looks like we will have to return to the first floor" Helena said.
"That won't be necessary" Christie said as she took a key card from her black jacket pocket.
"How did you get that card?" asked Helena sounding highly suspicious.
"I was planning to infiltrate this place on my own"
"And why do you chose to joined us?" the blond said not taking her eyes off the assassin.
"My plan was to infiltrate the place undetected then kill Donovan, but I think activating the self destruct mechanism is more affective to ruin the bastard"
"Fair enough now senorita Christie how about if you used the key card already" Felipe said looking at his girlfriend which was still staring at Christie with distrust.
Christie slid the card on the lock making a beeping sound the door slid open allowing them to enter the main control room, Lisa took her computer ready to go to business" time to hack into the mainframe of the program"
"I'll help you in any way I can Lisa" Helena said.
"What about us what are we going to do?" asked Tenchi.
"What do you think we'll guard the door to make sure the guards don't come here, if that happens will kill them" Christie said.
"Let's just hope they don't come to break down the door" Felipe said.
Christie lock the door from the inside" let's see if those fools will try to enter now"
Lisa started tipping in her computer while Helena was tipping in the computer from the room, they knew it was going to take them time to hack into the program and activate the self destruct sequence it will depend on how fast they work.
(With this done the beginning of the end of Donovan's reign over DOATEC is near) Helena thought.
Basement floor (snakes nest)
Sasuke was standing in the large room surrounded by snake statues, the chamber was dark with some technical decorations it resemble the lair of a snake with a few technological advances. His onyx eyes fell on the man a few feet away from him one of the legendary sanins and his formal teacher Orochimaru, he was wearing his usual sound attire while still having his usual grin of amusement looks like he was truly enjoying this wonderful reunion. Just looking at him made the Uchiha rather angry of himself, three years ago he supposed to killed the man when he was already weakened and was about to perform the ritual to transfer his soul to his body. He was victorious as he defeated Orochimaru killing him in the process, his greatest mistake was to spare his right hand man Kabuto on that day. Back then it didn't bother him that he let the medic ninja live knowing that he wasn't going to do a thing once his formal master was dead, he was wrong because of his mistake in letting him live he took what was left from Orochimaru into his body. After three years Orochimaru took possession of his body by transferring his soul once again, now he was staring at him once again ready to finish him for good.
Orochimaru just grinned at his formal apprentice the last of the Uchiha clan a prodigy like himself he knew he was going to be very strong in the future. He was ready to face him and he came well prepare for his fight, he won't underestimate him like he did with his brother Itachi a long time ago and when he was going to take over his body. After all he had a secret weapon that not even the Uchiha will be able to stop, not taking his snake eyes off his prey he opened his mouth taking his sword Kusanagi while Sasuke was unfazed by his action he already knew how gross he can be.
Sasuke took a hold on Kusanagi's handle activating his sharingan" I hope you have done some training in the three years you were missing because you're going to need it if you want to stand a chance against me"
Orochimaru in amusement" after three years you still haven't change Sasuke-kun still as arrogant as ever I see, I don't need training to take care of you I already have what I wanted thanks to Donovan"
"Save it I don't want to hear your story with him you already said your plan back at the stadium to have an invincible army of sound ninjas made by him, they failed miserably since we killed them rather quickly even the ones we fought here they were hardly a challenge"
"Yes they were quite disappointing after all they were just the prototypes, once I have the exact requirements to create the perfect soldier my army will be created once again which I will unleash in the entire world dominating everything in sight and the ninja nations will fall too"
"And just how are you planning to do that?" asked the Uchiha with a grin" Donovan is going to die right here without him you won't be able to do your little soldier experiment"
The snake sanin chuckle again this time a little louder" Sasuke-kun you still don't know who I am what kind of apprentice of mine are you, I will continue with my research because I have DOATEC this powerful biogenetics company is all I need to continue with my work. Donovan has been fooling around with this company for far too long so I was thinking in taking him out of the picture for good, with him out of the way I will take over DOATEC and I will have the great technology I need to fulfill my goal. I will like to thank you for trying to get rid of Donovan for me, so whether he lives or not is fine with me I will still take over the company"
Sasuke was looking bore" figures you thought of betraying him it is you but I have to tell you that you're wrong again" he grinned while Orochimaru was confuse" you won't take over DOATEC because the daughter of the original owner is still alive and she has the full right to take over the company as It should be, face it Orochimaru you're days are over I will kill you right here and now"
Orochimaru was still holding his sword Kusanagi while still looking amuse like he wasn't going to take the fight seriously, Sasuke glared ready to charge at him when he gasped something behind him. When he turned around he saw that the all of the snake statues have come to life, without warning the snakes have lunged at him with their sharp fangs destroying the ground where he stand. Orochimaru was grinning never thought he would defeat his student so quickly, his eyes widened as he saw all of the snakes hit by lighting. Sasuke was still standing without a scratch on him he has used his thousand bird current to hit the snakes, a couple of seconds later the snakes vanish in a cloud.
Sasuke deactivate his lighting staring at the snake sanin" I already knew that you used genjutsu on those snakes to make them look like stone statues you're forgetting that you're fighting someone who possesses the sharingan"
"Of course your sharingan has become powerful in the last couple of years you can spot any kind of genjutsu with those eyes, however there is more to them than you could ever know Sasuke-kun"
"Enough with your cryptic words are we going to fight or talk?" he spat.
Orochimaru grinned he opened his mouth releasing thousands of small snakes heading to his direction they opened their mouths releasing a sharp sword.
(Not going to happen) Sasuke thought making fast hand seals" FIRE STYLE GRAND FIRE BALL TECHNIQUE"
He shot the giant fire ball from his mouth crashing with the large group of snakes they were all burned to a crisp while Orochimaru was chuckling.
"Not bad Sasuke-kun you thought quickly to use fire to destroy the snakes…."
He blocked a quick attack from Sasuke's chidori Kusanagi with his sword, both crashing swords while Sasuke's chidori Kusanagi was sparkling with lighting as soon as it make contact Orochimaru's Kusanagi.
Sasuke smirked" you were quick Orochimaru just remember if I hit you with my chidori Kusanagi your whole body will go numb and this fight will end"
The snake sanin grinned" I'm well aware Sasuke-kun but don't forget that I possess the original Kusanagi sword which is more resistant than yours, you won't be breaking it with your chidori blade"
Orochimaru released snakes from his sleeve capturing the Uchiha in their grasp he vanished and reappeared behind him, he stabbed Orochimaru with his chidori Kusanagi but he knew the fight was not over. Orochimaru's body turned into mud falling into the ground, Sasuke with his sharingan knew he has used an earth clone to escape the attack. The real Orochimaru was behind him and stretch his head opening his mouth releasing a sword however Sasuke knew where he was and block his sword with his chidori Kusanagi, he charge with his quick speed kicking him upwards and continued kicking him in the air. He was now using his lion combo he used another kick to his stomach and before he hit the ground he charge up chidori, he fell to the ground receiving the powerful blow of the chidori.
Sasuke landed safe on the ground waiting to see if he was really dead, he has plunged his chidori right on his chest so there was the possibility that he killed him. He got his answer as Orochimaru's mouth open and slowly the snake sanin like a snake shedding its skin, the Uchiha growled knowing this technique of his Orochimaru was now in perfect health with no injuries whatsoever. Sasuke kept his gaze on the snake man even if he was strong enough to take him on and beat him he has realize that the fight was going to take a while to finish, he smirk this is how he was expecting that the fight will be.
Orochimaru chuckle" Sasuke-kun you have really become strong I have taught you well, you have truly surpassed Itachi"
Sasuke growled at the mention of his older brother's name" don't talk about him, I'm not done yet Orochimaru I'm just warming up"
With his speed he threw a barrage of shurikens along with the demon wind shuriken he quickly made hand seals" FIRE STYLE GREAT DRAGON TECHNIQUE"
Sasuke has released a large fire dragon straight at Orochimaru who was grinning at the sight he quickly blocked the shurikens and the wind demon shuriken with Kusanagi, he made hand seals faster than Sasuke" SUMMONING TECHNIQUE RASHOMON GATE"
From the ground a giant demonic face gate came it blocked the fire dragon shielding Orochimaru from harm, Sasuke growled seeing that his attack failed.
(Damn I wasn't expecting him to used that jutsu I can still take him on and I have enough chakra left, since I'm underground I can't use Kirin the magenkyou sharingan is the only edge I have left against him but it takes too much chakra to use)
"Impressive Sasuke-kun but you will have to do better" Orochimaru said with a grin.
"I will" he replied with a grin as he quickly threw the demon wind shuriken which shocked the snake sanin.
Orochimaru dodge it but it split in two he blocked the first one with his sword but the second came at him at fast speed, his eyes widened when the shuriken vanish in a cloud of smoke and was replaced by Sasuke with chidori in hand.
"CHIDORI!!!"
Orochimaru was hit by the lighting attack again sending him flying to the ground, Sasuke was smirking at the thought of turning into a giant shuriken because it was Naruto the one who taught him the trick it was the same trick the blond used on their first C rank mission when they fought against Zabuza. Orochimaru left used his snake skin technique returning from his old body with no injuries, he saw that the Sasuke who threw the shuriken was gone.
Sasuke growled at the sight" you know I'm starting to get very annoyed of you doing that whenever I hit you with fatal blow"
Orochimaru chuckle as he got back to his feet" I see now very impressive Sasuke-kun you combine a genjutsu with a transformation jutsu you really have me there"
"I can still fight and yet you are still weak to think you are one of the sanins" Sasuke said with snort.
"Now now Sasuke-kun there's no need for taunting if you see me as weak then it's quite obvious why, I am not my complete self"
The Uchiha raise an eyebrow" complete self?"
Orochimaru laughed" so you have forgotten about three years ago when you fought Itachi, remember when you took the power of the white snake in you to have regenerating abilities I fused part of my soul along with my chakra. In other words you absorbed part of me in you, you do remember when you were out of chakra and that part of me was released however things didn't went well as Itachi used the sword of Totsuka on my other half sealing it into a genjutsu state for eternity never to return again. When that happened you lose part of my powers and the regenerating abilities of the white snake along with the curse seal of heaven, which leads me to tell you that I'm not the true Orochimaru but a half of what he used to be"
"So I should call you Orochimaru and a half" Sasuke said with hint of humor.
"That won't be necessary I'm still Orochimaru but it seems I will have to take you seriously from now on Sasuke-kun" he made hand seals" NINJA ART SNAKE MOUTH TRAP"
The two were now surrounded by some kind of long tunnel Sasuke could see that the color was a dark pink so he could tell that they were inside of something, someone he had the idea where he was and it wasn't a good thing.
Orochimaru grinned" judging by the look in your face you can tell what I just did I have summoned the stomach of a cobra viper which is very hungry meaning that you will be digested like any regular prey of his, luckily for me I won't be affected"
Sasuke saw that he was now surrounded by acid he was going to be melted like he was part of the snake food chain and digested like any other, he quickly threw shurikens but Orochimaru block them with his Kusanagi sword. He jumped towards him charging with Kusanagi but Orochimaru released a snake from his sleeve taking a sword from its mouth, the Uchiha was stabbed in the middle of his chest. Orochimaru gasped when Sasuke's body turned into a couple of crows just like Itachi, he has used another genjutsu to dodge his attack. Orochimaru knew he had the advantage in the fight right now the stomach of the cobra was full of acid like a pool his opponent didn't have anywhere to go. That is until he was stabbed by his chidori spear on his right shoulder, he looked to see Sasuke standing on top of Kusanagi's handle he released his chidori spear while the snake sanin was grinning.
"Not bad Sasuke-kun using Kusanagi as a stepping stone since the whole area is surrounded by acid, but it's not enough to escape me" he then threw a sword from his mouth hitting the Uchiha.
Once again he vanished transforming into dozens of crows, he repapered behind him" you may be good using genjutsu and forbidden jutsus but I have the advantage in everything, face it Orochimaru I have become stronger than you"
Orochimaru chuckle" you shouldn't be so arrogant Sasuke-kun never underestimate your opponent especially if it's me" he was about to move but gasped in horror he try to move but he couldn't" wh….what's going on I can't move"
Sasuke move in front of him with a grin that would put Orochimaru's grin to shame" so you finally notice you were so confident in beating me that you forgot to watched your surroundings"
"What did you do Sasuke?" asked the snake sanin hiding his scare tone.
"Take a long look at my Kusanagi"
Orochimaru's yellow eyes widened in shock seeing that the Kusanagi blade that was stab in the ground had chidori running through it, he finally realize what was going on the chidori was running underground reaching him from below the surface of the cobra's stomach. He was hit by the chidori Kusanagi meaning that his body was numb and he couldn't move a muscle, he couldn't believe it one minute he had the advantage in the fight and the other Sasuke has managed to turn the tables around. Without having control over his body he couldn't control the chakra flow meaning that he couldn't keep his jutsu active, the cobra's stomach started vanishing slowly, Sasuke grabbed Kusanagi while releasing a snake wrapping its body around the snake sanin.
Sasuke charge a chidori on his left hand his sharingan was flaring" Orochimaru I think it's time that I finish this fight for good"
Orochimaru saw the three tomoes in his sharingan spinning rapidly suddenly everything turned black, he knew that he has cast a genjutsu on him one that look very strong than his previous ones. From behind someone grabbed his arms, when he looked behind him his eyes widened seeing a very familiar figure. He was now staring at his formal teacher the Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, the old man only gave him a stern look at his formal student which was the one that killed him during the sand and sound invasion at the chunin exams six years ago.
"S….Sarutobi sensei" his voice was broken (this is one strong genjutsu Sasuke-kun has cast on me)
"It appears I will have to take your arms once again Orochimaru" Sarutobi said with a solemn tone.
"Stay away from me you senile old man" Orochimaru hissed.
"Now that's not the right way to speak to your formal teacher Orochimaru-sama"
Orochimaru's eyes widened seeing another figure appeared, it was his formal right hand man and last vessel Yakushi Kabuto he adjusted his glasses while smiling at his formal master" Orochimaru-sama it won't be so bad if you join me in hell as your loyal servant I will give you that right"
Orochimaru growled seeing that Kabuto was helping Sarutobi holding him he couldn't move for the first time in his life he was helpless he was still feeling the effects of being hit by the chidori Kusanagi, he couldn't break the genjutsu either because he was paralyze. Suddenly a third figure appeared in front of him, he also recognize the figure as his formal teammate another sanin like himself Jiraiya.
Jiraiya made a rasengan in his right hand" Orochimaru I've been wanting to do this for a long time"
(I have to find a way to break this genjutsu or I will die) Orochimaru thought.
Before Jiraiya plunge his rasengan everything turn back to normal they were back in the chamber, Sasuke was shocked he didn't dispel his genjutsu so what happened but most importantly he notice that Orochimaru was gone. He looked at every direction and didn't found no sign of the snake sanin, Orochimaru appeared next to him but Sasuke was quick and jump out of the way landing a few feet away from him.
"You have truly become very strong Sasuke-kun that genjutsu was strong, it was very thoughtful of you to use my formal teacher, teammate and vessel to carry out my execution" Orochimaru said in an amusement tone.
Sasuke growled" what the hell did you do? How the heck did you broke my genjutsu you couldn't move let alone used your chakra to break the genjutsu"
"My Sasuke-kun have you forgotten that the effect of your chidori Kusanagi it doesn't last long it doesn't bother you because of your fast speed, however that little defect can caused you the fight"
The Uchiha growled (damn I was hoping to finish him with that move, if this keeps up I will be out of chakra) he glared at the snake sanin" still that doesn't explain how you broke free from my genjutsu you will need a very strong jutsu to break it"
Orochimaru chuckle" I do have something that strong in my possession Sasuke-kun"
"And?" he asked expecting that he will tell him.
The snake sanin gave him a wicked grin" that's my little secret"
"Secret?"
"It won't be a secret if I tell you now would it, but enough of that no more games Sasuke-kun I won't hold back anymore"
"Hn…….so you're finally going to fight me for real about time"
Orochimaru grinned as he made the hand seals tiger, snake, dog and dragon making Sasuke's sharingan eyes to widened recognizing those hand seals (no that's…..)
"SUMMONING TECHNIQUE IMPURE WORLD RESURRECTION"
A purple circle appeared from the ground and a casket appeared he then released another one and finally a third casket rise from the purple circle, Orochimaru was enjoying the look of horror in his formal students face it show a lot of fear.
"I did told you about this forbidden jutsu before Sasuke-kun back when you were still my pupil, this is one of my most favorite forbidden jutsus I used this jutsu against the Sandaime with it I brought back the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage from the death but don't worry I didn't brought any of the Hokage's you will be quite surprise who are the people I brought back, actually you know them quite well"
"Who are you talking about?" asked Sasuke fearing for the worst.
The snake sanin grinned evilly" let' find out shall we"
The three caskets open releasing a lot of dust when the dust cloud was lifted Sasuke was in shock, he stood still as his whole body tremble at the sight his sharingan eyes widened he never thought he would see them again.
"No…..it can't be"
The three figures left their rightful casket walking towards Sasuke, he was still shocked he was looking at a couple of people that he knew a long time ago. The first person was a boy around sixteen with silver hair and blue eyes wearing regular ninja clothing and he had a long sword with a hole on the tip and a half hole on the side it was the sword that belonged to Momochi Zabuza. The second person was a girl the same age as the boy with red hair glasses, she was wearing a white shirt revealing her belly and black shorts with long black sandals. The third person was a little taller that the other two, he looked a little older than the two with brown hair and brown eyes wearing regular clothing. Sasuke watched in shock as he was looking at his formal comrades from team Hebi, the same group he formed three years ago after he defeated Orochimaru and went to hunt down Itachi.
He remembers the day like it was yesterday when he reunited with Naruto and Sakura after Itachi's death he went after his team to provide help, they were fighting Kisame while he went after Itachi. But when he got there it was too late Kisame has killed them the Akatsuki member was too much for the three with his huge amount of chakra. He was so enraged that he wanted to kill the shark man but he was out of chakra and weak from his fight with Itachi, Naruto and the rest of the retrieval team fought against him and he delivered the final blow to Kisame killing him with his rasen shuriken. After the battle and returning to Konoha he buried their bodies while mourning their deaths, even if he didn't spend enough time with them they became good friends of his reminded him so much of his Konoha team.
He gaze at them with sorrow in his sharingan eyes" Suigetsu, Karin, Juugo"
"Hey Sasuke don't tell me that Orochimaru has summoned us from the dead damn that sucks" Suigetsu said with his usual smile.
"It seems so looks like we have no choice but to fight you Sasuke I'm sorry" Juugo said with sorrow in his voice.
"Sasuke-kun…." Karin said as a small tear fell from her right eye in truth she was really in love with the Uchiha even if she acted like a crazed fan girl.
Sasuke glared at Orochimaru with so much hatred" you bastard how could you"
"Why Sasuke-kun I thought you'll be happy to see your old team again I wanted to make this little reunion just for you" Orochimaru said in a mocking tone as he took three kunais with a red seal attach, he stabbed the three bodies with the special seal erasing their minds putting them in his complete control "Now everyone why don't you give Sasuke-kun your welcome back present"
The three only gaze at the Uchiha whom he knew that they no longer have controlled of their bodies, Orochimaru was now controlling them which fighting them was inevitable. Instead Sasuke vanish using his quickness and went to his first target which was Karin, she was after all the weakest of the team the only thing she was useful was for her healing abilities and detecting chakra sources at long distance. Sasuke has stabbed her on her chest with chidori Kusanagi paralyzing her in the process, he saw Juugo activating his curse seal to level one.
"Kill…..I must kill"
Both Juugo and Suigetsu charged at him, Suigetsu used his long sword but Sasuke used his thousand bird current hitting both of them. Orochimaru was impressed at his formal students strength, when bringing the dead back to life with the impure world resurrection they become twice as strong as they originally were.
"Not too bad Sasuke-kun but you can't defeat them like that the only way to stop them for good is by removing their souls and I doubt you know the dead demon consuming seal technique"
Sasuke growled but he didn't have time to think because Suigetsu and Juugo charged at him, Karin was able to move again because the effect of his chidori Kusanagi has been lifted. Sasuke reacted quickly created two shadow clones, to even the numbers. One of the clones took on Suigetsu he swung his long sword but the Sasuke clone used chidori Kusanagi and broke the sword when it made contact with him, Suigetsu's body turned into water in a attempt to try and drown him but the clone grinned and he used thousand bird current electrocuting him because he was mad of water. He took the chance that he went to his physical self and released a snake from his sleeve wrapping its body around him making sure he didn't break free. The other clone had no trouble fighting Karin because the red head teen didn't have any fighting skills whatsoever she was the easiest to bring down, the clone dodged a couple of punches and kicks that were out of range he released a snake and warp itself in her body just like the other clone did with Suigetsu.
The real Sasuke was having some difficulty with Juugo he was going in one of his usual killing spree moods which was not good, Sasuke remembers the first time he took Juugo on and he wasn't this strong to beat. Things turned complicated when Juugo started going level two, Sasuke charged at him with his chidori Kusanagi and stabbed his left shoulder stopping his movements. He then released a snake trapping the level two curse seal Juugo along with Karin and Suigetsu, he suddenly heard Orochimaru applauding him for his performance.
"Well done Sasuke-kun you have become so strong that you didn't even broke a sweat fighting your formal comrades, usually when using the impure world resurrection the victims brought back to life increases their strength twice however you're not having any trouble at all I wonder how longer you can keep on fighting"
"I can still fight and I have plenty of chakra left and I know what to do about them" he used his sharingan on the three formal team Hebi members and suddenly they fell on the ground while the two clones vanished along with the snakes.
"What did you do to them?" asked the snake sanin.
"They are asleep I cast a genjutsu on them I will stop them eventually, there is another way to stop the living for good besides removing their souls if the caster of the jutsu is killed then the jutsu will be lifted so yet I have another reason to kill you Orochimaru"
Orochimaru chuckle" most impressive you truly are a genius just like myself however I think it's time that we finish this fight once and for all"
"What do you know we actually agreed on something" Sasuke said with a grin this time he was going to finish the fight he gaze at the three sleeping bodies of his formal friends (I have to hurry and defeat Orochimaru I don't know how long they will remain asleep)
"And to think I wasn't expecting to use it against you, I admit that I have enjoyed fighting you my formal apprentice I hope you're ready for me Sasuke-kun it seems I will have to tell you my little secret after all"
"What are you talking about is it about how you dispelled my genjutsu from before I'm not interested anymore"
Orochimaru started laughing as he revealed his secret to the Uchiha, Sasuke was shocked at what he was seeing something he never thought he will see. He was staring at Orochimaru his eyes had the sharingan the red pupil with the three tomoes, he was trembling having a terrible feeling about it.
"It's……not possible sharingan but how did you obtained it?" asked the shocked Sasuke.
(Music: Orochimaru's theme)
Orochimaru's was laughing enjoying himself as his formal student was in complete shock he gave him an evil grin" I think you already know why I have the blood line limit of the Uchiha clan Sasuke-kun" he then reached for his face and removed his face revealing to the Uchiha the face of his new container.
Sasuke's sharingan eyes widened in pure shock and fear, he was trembling at the face of the person that Orochimaru's has taken over for his new body. It was a face he thought he would never see again in his entire life, but it was true and now Orochimaru's has taken over his body the only thing he could was to whisper in shock the revelation of the one person he thought died three years ago when he fought him.
"No…..It can't be its not possible……..Itachi"
Orochimaru in Itachi's body started laughing his sharingan flaring" THE SHARINGAN IS FINALLY MINE!!!"

"HELL YEAH!!! This is my chance to test my cooking skills if I win I will make some food for Ryu" inner Sakura said raising a fist.
"All right you begin in three.. two.. one BEGIN!"
The three girls started making the ramen Hitomi was amazing using her karate skills to prepare the ramen, while Kasumi was doing everything quickly this was her chance to impressed Naruto and she wasn't going to let it go to waste. Sakura was having a bit of trouble she was putting the wrong ingredients, Naruto was watching her with a sweat dropped on the back of his head of course he knew that her cooking was not eligible not in the least. After a while Naruto finally shut the clock because the ten minutes have passed.
"Times up ladies it's time for me the official judge to taste the ramen you made for me I will start with you Hitomi-san"
He ate the bowl in a matter of seconds he nodded with a smile" this ramen taste very good Hitmo-san"

"All right that's enough now I will announce the winner"
"HEY WHAT THE HELL WHAT ABOUT ME!" Sakura shouted angry as she grabbed Naruto by his collar while offering her bowl of ramen" here eat it"

"That has to be the biggest lie in the whole world everyone knows that you have a bottomless stomach now eat"
"But Sakura-chan you're cooking is um…..well how can I say this without hurting your feelings um….you're cooking is bad really bad"
WHAM!!!
Sakura smacked him on his head angry at his comment while Hitomi and Kasumi sweat dropped at the sight, the pink haired kunoichi picked him up giving him the bowl of ramen" Naruto if you don't eat the ramen I will shove it where the sun don't shine"
That was enough for the blond to eat the ramen he slurp the noodles and his face turned green he left the studio heading to the bathroom to throw up, Sakura sighed" great I messed up as always how can I cook food for Ryu when I can't even make a simple bowl of ramen"
"I guess Naruto-san is not coming back were not going to find out who won the contest" Hitomi said.
"I think it will be best if we help Sakura-san with her cooking" Kasumi said.
"You guys will help me cook you really mean it?" Sakura said with tears in her eyes.
"Of course we'll help you" Hitomi said while Kasumi nodded.
"Wait" Naruto said as he got back to the studio" the winner is Kasumi-chan"
Kasumi blush" thank you Naruto-san"
"Hey Naruto did you hear Hitomi is going to teach me how to cook" Sakura said happy.
"What really?" he gaze at the brunette" Hitomi-san if you can teach Sakura-chan how to cook then you must be one heck of miracle worker because she's BAD…."
WHAM!!!
Sakura punched him again knocking him out of cold while the girls sweat dropped.
