Chapter 63: Sasuke vs Orochimaru

(Sasuke vs Orochimaru- Spinach Wastes)

Orochimaru was really confused because Sasuke foresaw that he would defeat him. He did not expect Sasuke to say like that. He chuckled, "You foresaw the future that you would defeat me, you say? Heh, to think you will try to bluff me." Sasuke began to smirk, and said nothing. "I thought you want to receive a power? You seek power, yes?"

"Indeed, I do. I want a power!" replied Sasuke.

Gohan stood next to Sasuke and shocked, "Sasuke-san!"

Sakura remained stayed on his knees, and shocked, 'What's up with him? He's back to his old self! What's going on?'

Orochimaru chuckled, "Then let me mark you. If you do, you will be much stronger than before!"

Sasuke raised his right fist tightly and scoffed, "No, I don't need your help! I'm going to get my own power! If I keep doing like that, I will be stronger!"

Kuririn frowned, "Sasuke?"

'I knew it! He's up to no good. Since he fought Junichi, he's back to his old-self who is bending on vengeance!' thought Yamucha.

"How do you plan to do that?" asked Orochimaru.

Sasuke pointed at Orochimaru and growled, "If I defeat you right here, that proves I can defeat Itachi! I will get my revenge! Doing that, I can achieve my vengeance!"

Orochimaru scoffed, "I don't think it will work. By the way, do you even realize that you just surpassed Itachi-kun?"

"Still, I want to beat you, so I will know that I, indeed, surpassed Itach!" said Sasuke.

Gohan looked up at Sasuke and reminded, "Never mind that, we need to defeat him together! If we do, then we can surpass him! Otherwise, it will be—"

Sasuke scowled, "Shut up! If we fight him together, I won't prove that I've surpassed everyone! Leave it to me. I will fight him alone!" His eyes immediately changed into Sharingan, and set his hatred eyes towards Orochimaru.

Kuririn, Yamucha, Sakura, and Gohan shocked, "Sasuke/-san!"

Orochimaru snickered, "It should be pleasure to fight a genius Uchiha like you."

Sasuke glared at Orochimaru and snarled, "Shut up! You're always nuisance! You're getting on my nerves ever since we first met at Forest of Death! Don't think you will mark me this time, because you will die right here! Naruto might regret it to allow you to live. This time, I won't give a mercy to ugly freak bastard, namely you!"

Orochimaru chuckled, "I will take that as a compliment! It doesn't matter. That fact remained the same. I will still mark you regardless of what you would claim."

Sasuke placed his hand forward at Orochimaru and shouted angrily, "Enough with all of that useless talking! I'm taking you on myself!" He fired a powerful blast wave at Orochimaru, kicking up the decent smoke. He immediately charged into the large smoke.

From what Kuririn, Gohan, Sakura, and Yamucha could see was a white flash inside the smoke. It was an intense fighting inside the large smoke. They felt that they were being pushed back every time a strong wind went to them. However, they managed to stand firmly on the ground. Even they felt a multiple shockwave coming from a large smoke.

Watching on, Gohan shocked, "Incredible!"

"They're incredible! Their power is too much even for us! Is that the power of Elementians?" wondered Yamucha.

"They're battling each other ferociously!" stated Kuririn.

"Not even I can surpass Nathas-kun, Sasuke, and Orochimaru! Their powers are beyond my imagination. Even though I'm Elementian myself!" admitted Sakura.

They watched them fighting inside even though they could not see them, but at least they could sense their Ki! However, they were too distracted from Sasuke and Orochimaru's fighting. They had forgotten something really important. But that's good thing that Gohan was the one who remembered most important they needed to do!

"Oh, that's right!" remembered Gohan. He looked at Kuririn and reminded, "That's right! If you have more Senzu Bean left, could you give it to Tenshinhan-san over there?" He pointed over yonder at where unconscious Tenshinhan was.

Kuririn looked down at Gohan and nodded, "Yeah, I have some Senzu Bean. I will give it to Tenshinhan right away!" Then, he ran off on way to unconscious Tenshinhan.

Inside the large white smoke, they continued to battle each other ferociously. They exchanged their blows, and rotated every time they delivered some blows. Sasuke tried his best to land a blow on Orochimaru, but Orochimaru seemed to be able to dodge everything Sasuke threw at.

'D-Dammit! Fighting him is annoyed! But what's more, he did not seem to fight me seriously! Does he really think that I'm easy? Damn it! I will prove that I'm not easy!' thought Sasuke angrily. He yelled before throwing a punch at Orochimaru, who immediately managed to disappear. He shocked, "W-What?! Where did he go?! He disappeared out of nowhere!" He began to look for Orochimaru's existence.

Kuririn finally reached onto Tenshinhan and put Senzu Bean into Tenshinhan's mouth. He sighed, "Please swallow it. It's Senzu Bean." Finally, Tenshinhan swallowed it and began to open his eyes slowly. Kuririn smiled cheerfully, "Tenshinhan!"

Tenshinhan widened his eyes and stared up at Kuririn. He shocked, "Kuririn!"

Kuririn smiled, "Thank goodness! You're okay!"

Tenshinhan sat up, and slowly looked around him. A moment later, he spotted a large white smoke there, as it began to clear slowly. "What? Is that Sasuke fighting Orochimaru?"

Kuririn glanced over his shoulder at the large white smoke and nodded, "Yeah, he told us that he will fight Orochimaru alone. But it's really risk for him to do that. I don't know when Naruto will come back." He frowned, "Maybe he will never be able to come back! Orochimaru said that it's nearly impossible for Naruto to escape there. Without Goku on our side, there's no way we're going to win!"

Tenshinhan snarled, "Dammit!"

Inside the large smoke, Sasuke still searched for Orochimaru's existence. 'Dammit! Where could he have gone? Is he going to ambush me soon? I have to be careful!' Suddenly, he saw someone flew up from the below. He shocked, "W-What?!" As soon as the view became clear, it was Orochimaru who was flying up from the below! However, Orochimaru's aim was not for Sasuke. He simply emerged from the white smoke above. He glared up at Orochimaru and shocked, "Wait up!" He immediately flew to chase Orochimaru into the sky.

Gohan noticed Orochimaru flying out of smoke and said, "Over there!"

Not just Orochimaru, but Sakura noticed that Sasuke went after Orochimaru and said, "What're they doing? It's almost as if Orochimaru is playing around with Sasuke!"

"Sasuke," said Kuririn softly.

Tenshinhan finally got on his feet, and sighed, "He has to be careful! Orochimaru will play around with you until he got tired of it!"

While Sasuke chasing Orochimaru, he clenched his fists and snarled, "Quit doing that! Fight me!"

Orochimaru glanced over his shoulder at Sasuke and chuckled, "Then stop me!" Once again, he increased his speed to fly away faster.

Sasuke snarled, "Don't…. get… too… cocky!" He fired a powerful blue energy wave at Orochimaru, who managed to dodge easily. "Fine! I will stop you then!" He fired another energy wave, but Orochimaru dodged it again. Sasuke refused to give up until he could stop Orochimaru! He fired another energy wave, but Orochimaru dodged it again. Every time Sasuke fired energy wave, his size of wave had increased. Unfortunately, Sasuke missed every single of them. He then threw a barrage of energy wave at Orochimaru, who kept dodging them mid-air.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

However, Orochimaru decided to fly back down towards Sasuke, causing him in shocked. But Orochimaru didn't go to Sasuke, he simply swooped past him! Looks like Orochimaru lured him to follow him just to play with him!

Sasuke immediately followed Orochimaru on mid-air, and continued to fire barrage of energy wave at Orochimaru, as the energy wave landed on the ground, causing multiple explosion.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The golden sphere flared up onto the ground, as the flash nearly blinded everyone in sight. Gohan, Sakura, Yamucha, Kuririn, and Tenshinhan had to shield their eyes so the light would not blind them.

While still shielding his eyes, Gohan cried, "Sasuke!" Suddenly, Orochimaru appeared in front of him. He shocked, "W-What?!" Orochimaru simply stared at him and laughed a bit. Gohan had no idea what he was trying to do.

Suddenly, on mid-air, Sasuke glared down at Orochimaru and shouted angrily, "You're not going to get away!" Then he made a series of hand, and puffed out. Then, he shouted, "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!" Then he expelled a massive orb of roaring flame from the mouth towards Orochimaru from the behind. "Burn in hell, Orochimaru!"

Orochimaru simply smirked, and disappeared thin in air. However, since Orochimaru had disappeared, massive orb of roaring flame continued to launch towards Gohan. He was in shocked to see massive orb of roaring flame going to him like that.

Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Yamucha, and Sasuke cried, "Gohan/-kun!"

Gohan did not know what to do since the large flame sphere was going to kill him soon! He had no way to escape this path! He began to tremble in front of that sphere. Suddenly, he started to have a flashback about four people. Goku, Naruto, Hideo, and Raditz.

(Flashback Began)

Freeza chuckled, "You think I'm going to excuse you? I'm not letting a single one of you go home alive!" He fired another energy beam toward Naruto.

Gohan and Sakura cried, "Naruto-san/-kun!"

Then, Freeza raised his arm upward controlling and pulling Naruto high in the air with telekinesis.

Goku cried, "Naruto!"

Kuririn, Gohan, and Sakura cried, "Naruto/-san/-kun!"

Goku looked around at Freeza and cried, "Stop it, Freeza!" Freeza clenched his hand into a fist with an evil grin.

Naruto cried, "Goku!" Suddenly, he was blown up to smithereens. Goku, Kuririn, Gohan, and Sakura widened their eyes in shock.

BOOM!

Freeza stared down at shocked Z-Fighters and chuckled, "That's what you get for mocking me in my third form and make fun of me just a while ago, blonde brat!"

Goku began to feel anger inside him, because that jerk Freeza killed Naruto. "Y-You're going to pay for that… How dare you… How dare you?!" Freeza continued to laugh. Goku continued to feel the rage inside him. A lightning strike down like a few times. More large lightning flashed down on Goku four times.

Freeza was confused at seeing Goku's rage rising and rising higher. The rock began to float up around Goku. Goku growled, "How dare you… How dare you?!" once again, more lightning stormed down around them. Goku's hair began to turn and faded away the golden hair. Gohan and Kuririn were in shocked to see that Goku's hair began to turn into the golden on and off, while Freeza was utterly confused.

The ground beneath Goku began to creak as the rock continued to float around him. His hair still turned into between golden and hair. Not to mention his eyes began to turn into green and black eyes. The huge storm flashed down behind Goku like four times again. Suddenly, his rage erupted up and he underwent a strange transformation, resulting in a golden aura, yellow hair and green eyes.

Freeza shocked, "W-What?!"

Kuririn, and Gohan were in shocked to see that Goku suddenly transformed into the golden-haired. Goku stared at them and demanded, "Gohan, Kuririn, Sakura, take piccolo with you and get yourselves back to Earth. He's still barely alive." But Kuririn, Sakura, and Gohan did not respond. Goku scowled, "Go home now, while I still have some sliver of reason left!" Then he set his furious eyes on an astonished Freeza, and plan to fight and made Freeza pay. Freeza trembled with fear.

(Later- Dying Namek)

Goku stared at Planet Namek and realized he was stranded on the dying Namek. Planet Namek had been covered full of lava on it. He shocked, 'It's going to explode… Planet Namek is going to explode…' He could only stare at the multiple explosions in Namek.

He could not believe how this could be possible! He shouted, "Damn it to hell!" Four of five lavas erupted up between Goku. "Damn it all to hell!" The planet finally exploded, vanishing completely from the face of the galaxy, and turned into a space dust.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

(Later- Earth- Capsule Corporation)

Bulma looked up at Polunga and said happily, "In that case, I'll make our wishes. First, please call the spirits of Son Goku and Uzumaki Naruto, who died on Planet Namek, here." With that, Dende makde Bulma's wish in Namekian language.

"Understood. I shall attempt it," said Polunga. His eyes began to glow the red. Finally, he finished and reported, "I have summoned the spirit of the being named Uzumaki Naruto here." Bulma and others began to smile happily. "However, I canst not summon the spirit of the one called Son Goku."

Sasuke, Kuririn, and Sakura shocked, "W-What?!"

"T-That can't be! Why not?!" asked Bulma.

"Because Son Goku is alive, I canst not summon only his spirit," replied Polunga. That shocked everyone in the place.

"A-Alive?" puzzled Gohan.

(Later- With Naruto and Gohan)

Suddenly, Naruto and Gohan saw the tiny figure on way. Gohan pointed over younder and confused, "W-What's that?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes at the tiny figure, but he could see that the figure became bigger and bigger. He widened his eyes and shocked, "It's a person!"

Suddenly, they could see that Hideo quickly flew towards them, but he kicked Gohan in the face, knocking him away. As Gohan was being knocked away, Naruto managed to catch him on mid-air.

Gohan rubbed his face and groaned, "Ow!" Then he looked at Hideo, who was laughing at him so hard.

Hideo laughed, "What a great scene! Someone saved kid! I love that! I should get popcorn where you were knocked away, Saiyan brat!"

Naruto growled, "W-What did you say?" He clenched his fists angrily, as if he was about to fight Hideo, but he noticed that Gohan stopped him with his hand.

"Please bring our Dragon Balls back. I'm going to fight him!" begged Gohan.

Naruto looked down at Gohan and shocked, "A-Are you sure you can fight this midget?"

Hideo twitched his eyebrows because Naruto called him a midget. He pointed at naruto and shouted loudly, "I'm not midget! Stop calling me that, you retard!"

Gohan nodded, "Yeah… I will try my best, Naruto-san. Please go and get our Dragon Balls back. It's your birthday today. Remember?"

Naruto stared down at Gohan for a while. Then he smiled, "Fine. I will try to get it back. Please be safe, Gohan-san!"

Gohan nodded, "R-Right! I will stop him when you leave."

(Naruto vs Raditz- Spinach Wastes)

Raditz grabbed Naruto's shirt and raised his right hand. He shouted angrily, "DIE!"

Just as he was about to throw a chop attack, he suddenly got kicked in the face for some reason. He fell backward as he bit through the ground. Naruto widened his eyes and shocked, "W-What?!" Then, he saw someone landed in front of him. That guy was familiar to him. He smiled cheerfully, "Gohan!"

Raditz got up and shocked, "What?! It's you again?!"

Filled with the rage, Gohan glared at Raditz and growled, "It's you again! No wonder your Ki is familiar! Don't bother Naruto! He's like a big brother to me!"

(Later)

Naruto glared at Orochimaru and shouted, "Let's go, Gohan, Raditz!" Suddenly, he charged towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nodded, "Right!" Then Raditz and he charged towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru shouted happily, "I've decided!" Suddenly, he picked up the white ball from his pocket and hurled the ball at Naruto.

Naruto widened his eyes and shocked, "W-What?!" Then, the white ball emerged with Naruto, and suddenly disappeared. Raditz and Gohan stopped charging at Orochimaru and were in shocked.

"What?" confused Raditz.

Gohan cried, "Naruto-san!" Then he glared at Orochimaru and growled, "What did you just do to him?!"

Orochimaru smirked, "Nothing. I just send him to different dimension. There's low chance that he will escape from that ball. If he cannot escape, he will die. There's no food, drink, or anything in it. Knowing him, he will never be able to escape."

(Gohan and Kuririn vs Hideo- Triceratops Jungle)

Gohan growled, "You're still alive?! I'm going to do that again!"

Hideo cried, "W-Wait!" I have only one minute left to live! In other words, I'm going to self-destruct!"

Gohan and Kuririn shocked, "You're what?!"

"That's right! Now I am in condition to control this anymore! That means I can't even control my body! I can't stop self-destruction. If I'm about to die, I will explode myself! It's all because of this stupid seal on my neck!" explained Hidoe.

Kurirn shocked, "You can't be serious!"

"Is there any way we can stop you from doing that?" asked Gohan.

Hideo shook his head and replied, "No, you can't! Now shut up and listen to me!"

Gohan and Kuririn puzzled, "Huh?"

"Before my life ran out, I want you do me a favor!" begged Hideo.

"Huh? You attacked us, and even tried to kill us. Suddenly, you wanted us to do something for you?" confused Kuririn. "What's wrong with you?"

Gohan frowned, "Fine. What's favor?"

Kuririn shocked, "G-Gohan!"

Hideo chuckled weakly, "I'm forced to join Sound Four, because Orochimaru wanted me. If I refused to do that, he will kill my family and friends that I cared about!"

Kuririn and Gohan shocked, "W-What?!"

"That's good thing I found you guys. I think you can manage to do something about them. So… please do me a favor! Kill Daisuke and avenge me and my brother! Kill Orochimaru as well! For the sake of my family and friend! Even for the sake of this world! Protect them!" begged Hideo. Gohan and Kuririn widened their eyes in shock.

Even Gohan thought about this for a while. He began to smile and nodded, "I will avenge you and your brother! But I will not do just for you! It's for us as well! Right, Kuririn-san?"

Kuririn stared at Gohan and smiled,'He's something! Well, he's Goku's son after all!'Then he nodded, "That's fine with me!"

Hideo started to smile and chuckled happily, "T…Thank you." Suddenly, he widened his eyes. He could feel that something was about to happen. He shouted, "Get lost, you idiots! I'm about to explode!" Suddenly, the white aura appeared around his body.

Kuririn widened his eyes and shocked, "Gohan! Run away!" He immediately flew away from Hideo.

Gohan nodded, "Right!" He flew away from Hideo as well.

Hideo screamed, "AHHHHHH!" He continued to power up and began to gather his life force without willpower. It converted into energy, creating flame-like ribbons of energy that spiraled around his body. His body began to emit small flecks of white light, causing a massive explosion.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

(Gohan, Naruto, and Raditz- Spinach Wastes)

"That's why I came to test your strength. That's why I tried to kill you to see if you can prevent it!" explained Raditz. "Now I just saw a proof with my own eyes! You're really strong! Maybe you can stop Orochimaru!"

Naruto thumped his fist on his own chest and grinned, "Leave that to us! We will stop him, datteboya!"

"That's right! We, together, can stop Orochimaru!" agreed Gohan.

(Later)

Raditz growled, "He's here!" Naruto and Gohan widened their eyes and looked up at the sky. They noticed that Orochimaru was hovering above them.

Gohan shocked, "Orochimaru!"

Naruto clenched his fists and snarled, "Orochimaru!"

Orochimaru slowly descended to the ground and landed. He stared at them and chuckled, "I felt so betrayed. I'm so lonely now. Looks like Sound Four and Raditz have failed me. I guess I will have to punish them! Actually, I will have to punish you guys, especially you, Raditz!"

"It's not going to be pretty good! We will have to be careful, guys!" said Raditz.

Naruto and Gohan nodded, "R-Right!"

(Later)

Orochimaru growled, "Damn it all! Time to finish you off!" He placed his hand forward at Gohan and shouted, "Die!" He furiously fired a powerful energy wave towards Gohan.

Raditz cried, "GOHAN!" He disappeared thin in air.

Sakura cried, GOHAN-KUN!"

Suddenly, Raditz got in way of Orochimaru's powerful energy wave, as he took that attack. He screamed in pain.

BOOOOOOOOM!

Orochimaru laughed, "Looks like your death is finally coming out!" However, as soon as the smoke cleared, Raditz stood in front of Gohan! He shocked, "What?!"

Gohan slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Raditz. He smiled cheerfully, "Uncle, you saved m—" He widened his eyes and shocked, "U-Uncle…?" He could see that Raditz was burned. He sniffed, "Why?"

Raditz chuckled weakly, "W-What's wrong? Why are you worrying about me? I'm already dead after all… Heh… to think I would save my nephew like that… My body… my body moved on its own accord…. D-Don't… die… Gohan…" Finally, he collapsed on the ground and passed away.

Gohan crawled towards Raditz and shook his body. He began to shred his tear, and cried, "Uncle… Uncle… Uncle!"

(Flashback Ended)

'That's right! I want to see Father, and Naruto-san again. I won't let Uncle and Hideo's death in vain! I'm not going to be killed by our friend's attack like that?!' thought Gohan angrily. He placed his both hands above his head with the palms facing Sasuke's attack and one hand in front of the other with the fingers going in opposite directions. He shouted, "Masenko!" He fired a beam of yellow, dispelling Sasuke's technique.

BOOOOOOM!

Tenshinhan, Yamucha, Kuririn, and Sakura cried, "Gohan/-kun!"

But then, as soon as the smoke cleared, Gohan appeared to be alive well, and panted heavily, 'That was so close! If I take that attack dead-on, I would have been killed!'

Kuririn, and Sakura ran to Gohan and smiled cheerfully, "Gohan/-kun!"

"You're okay, Gohan! Thank goodness!" relieved Sakura.

Gohan looked around at them and chuckled, "Yeah…"

Sakura glared up at Sasuke and thought angrily, 'What's wrong with him?! Is he really going back to his old self?!'

Sasuke looked around him and complained, "Where did that bastard go?! Where did he disappear to?! When I see him, I will kill him!"

Sakura glared up at him and yelled angrily, "Sasuke! What the hell are you doing?! You almost killed Gohan-kun!"

Sasuke stared back at Sakura and scowled, "Shut up! Whatever happens to Gohan is not of my concern! All I care is to kill Orochimaru! That's all I care right now!" Gohan, Tenshinhan, and Yamucha were in shocked.

Kuririn shocked, "Sasuke!"

"What?! So you don't care about us anymore?! What's the hell over you, Sasuke?!" asked Sakura.

"I said shut up!" scowled Sasuke.

"When I see your face like that, you look like you're your old self! Your old self wanted a power! Your old self has hatred! Your old self bent on vengeance! That's who you were! But after defeating Freeza, you've changed a lot. You have no obsession with those things anymore. But now… now… you've changed back to your old self!" disappointed Sakura.

Sasuke widened his eyes and shocked, "What do you mean?"

"Sasuke, just calm down and clear your mind! Not let your old self come back to you! Orochimaru is trying to change you back to your old self!" said Sakura.

Sasuke widened his eyes and thought, 'That's right! After defeating Freeza, I forgot about killing Itachi, and power. I trained to become stronger so I can fight better! I forgot about killing Itachi because Minato helped me!' He started to calm down, and turned around just to see Orochimaru.

Staring down at Sakura, Orochimaru folded his arms and thought, 'What's this? Sakura spoke through him. Suddenly, he managed to calm down.' Then he looked at Sasuke and smirked, 'Oh, well. It doesn't matter. All of his hatred hasn't been taken out yet. He still has some of his hatred left inside him.'

Sasuke looked at Orochimaru, and sighed, "We will find a way to stop you! If none of us can stop, then Naruto is only one who can stop you!"

Orochimaru chuckled, "Are you sure you want Naruto to stop me?"

Sasuke smirked, "Well, I don't want Naruto to be one instead of me, but I have no choice but to rely on Naruto's power if we could not stop you!"

"But right now, if I try to talk to you, you will not listen to me. I guess I have no choice but to beat you up, so I can mark you," said Orochimaru.

Sasuke raised his right fist and scoffed, "Do it! Try me!" He prepared his battle stance to fight Orochimaru soon again.

Gohan, Sakura, Tenshinhan, Kuririn, and Yamucha looked up at Orochimaru and Sasuke who prepared to fight each other again. Sakura said softly, "Sasuke…"

"Looks like they're going to fight again," said Yamucha. Tenshinhan remained say nothing.

"Be careful, Sasuke!" worried Gohan.

Kuririn clenched his fist and gulped, "Dammit! Please hurry up, Naruto! Get out soon!"

"In that case, I will go all-out!" said Orochimaru.

Sasuke chuckled, "Me, too."

They would not waste any time more! They immediately charged towards each other and punched at each other, clashing their fists head-on. It caused a large shockwave. Then, they disappeared together, and appeared in every direction as they continued to exchange their blows each other. They continued to exchange their hard blows, but none of them touched each other. However, Orochimaru was the one who managed to land a blow on Sasuke.

Sakura shocked, "Sasuke!"

Orochimaru kneed Sasuke harder in the guts, doubled him over. Then, he grabbed his hair and pulled to his knees so he could hit him with that. Next, he punched him away. He picked up two kunai from his pouch and threw them at Sasuke.

Sasuke immediately regained his sense and flipped up. He glared at Orochimaru and growled, "Dammit!" He deflected Orochimaru's two kunai with his kunai.

Unfortunately for Sasuke, that managed to distract him. Orochimaru delivered a powerful elbow smash to Sasuke's face, knocking him away. Then, he appeared above him and raised his clasped hand. He chuckled, "You're welcome, by the way!" He slammed his both fists on Sasuke's stomach, bashing him onto the ground.

Sakura, Kuririn, and Sakura cried, "Sasuke/-san!"

Orochimaru slowly descended to the ground, while Sasuke struggled to get up. Sasuke's face got a lot of blood, and bruise. His body was full of throbbing. He muttered weakly, "Dammit! Is this much damage I got from Orochimaru? It's even worse than taking damage from Freeza!" He fell several times before managing to fully get up on his feet and stared at Orochimaru carefully. 'D-Dammit! Even if we can't stop him, then I would hate to rely on Naruto, but I got no choice anyways! If I can stall him for a while, then it should be no big deal.'

Orochimaru chuckled, "Do you realize that you can't fight me on par? I graciously offered you a chance to serve me without hurting you at all, but you turned it down. So I got no choice but to force you to do so!"

Sasuke growled, "Shut up! I told you I will not serve you!"

"Go ahead. You can continue to refuse. Eventually, you will be mine soon!" remarked Orochimaru.

Sasuke scowled, "I said no! No means no!" He immediately jumped towards Orochimaru and pulled his fist in attempt to hit him, but it did not success. Orochimaru simply sidestepped before Sasuke could even touch him at all! Sasuke widened his eyes and shocked, "W…W-What?"

Orochimaru made no time to waste, so he elbowed Sasuke's back. Then, he kneed him onto the face, tossing him up into the air. He appeared above him, and dropkicked him onto the ground. At last, he smashed his knees onto Sasuke's stomach. Sasuke spewed the blood out of his mouth and yelled in pain.

Sakura, Kuririn, and Gohan cried, "Sasuke!"

"This is too much! Orochimaru is torturing him as he pleased! What should we do?" said Yamucha.

Tenshinhan clenched his fists and sighed, "We can't do anything! He's too strong! Only we can hope is that Naruto comes back sooner!"

Gohan frowned, 'Naruto… Please come back!'

Orochimaru stood next to injured Sasuke and laughed, "It's about time for you to be mine, don't you agree?" He extended his tongue out to wrap around Sasuke's neck, and hung him up in the air.

Sasuke gripped Orochimaru's tongue, and glared down at Orochimaru. He growled, "Y… Y-Y-You b-b-bastard…!"

Suddenly, Orochimaru punched Sasuke in the face. He snickered, "You will be pummeled by me. Then I can mark you afterward! Let your friends see you suffer the pain like that! They will tremble before me!" He punched him in the guts. Then he began to pummel on every of his bodies.

From the distant, Gohan began to boil up with the rage.

(With Naruto- Dimensional Maze)

A lot of Naruto clones scattered over the maze just to find the exit! But the real Naruto continued to run forward, following the path. He could hear someone's voice cried to his ear. He confused, "What's going on? What's this I'm hearing? It's almost as if it's leading me to exit!"

He saw a bright light around another wall. He shocked, "A light? What's that?" He decided to check for himself, and ran around it. He widened his eyes and began to smile. "It's… It's…" He found himself in front of bright white portal! "It's the exit!"

He began to hop around and cheered happily, "Yes! Finally! It's the exit! It's the exit! It's the exit!"

Suddenly, he heard the voice cried, "Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun!"

Naruto widened his eyes and shocked, "What?! That's Sakura-chan's voice!"

"Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun!" cried the voice of Sakura.

'This is bad! I don't know what's going over there, but I have to hurry up and get out of here!' thought Naruto. He clenched his fists and growled angrily, "Orochimaru! You will pay for it! Mark my word!" Then, he jumped right into the portal.

(Sasuke vs Orochimaru- Spinach Wastes)

Orochimaru continued to pummel Sasuke until Sasuke would be out of shape. He delivered a powerful punch to Sasuke in the guts, doubled him over.

Kuririn, and Sakura cried, "Sasuke!"

Orochimaru glanced over his shoulders at Kuririn, and Sakura, and chuckled, "Yes, just you watch! You will be our witness! Witness that Sasuke is going to be mine! After that, I will have Sasuke killing you guys!" Once again, he punched Sasuke in the face again. He repeatedly punched him in the face and guts.

Gohan continued to boil up with the rage and snarled quietly, "Orochimaru…!"

"This is really bad! We're no match for him after all!" said Yamucha.

Tenshinhan nodded, "Yeah. How can we stop him like that? He's too strong for us!"

With the final punch, Sasuke seemed to be unconscious for now. Orochimaru looked up at Sasuke and chuckled, "Looks like you're finally worn out, Sasuke-kun, huh? It's about time for me to mark you, eh?" He finally removed his tongue to release Sasuke, allowing him to fall. However, Orochimaru was not satisfied by just simply dropping him onto the ground. Suddenly, he backhand punched unconscious Sasuke away onto the ground.

Sakura, and Kuririn cried, "Sasuke!"

Then, Orochimaru walked slowly toward unconscious Sasuke, and laughed, "Finally, your Sharingan will be mine! I will obtain those eyes soon! Today's the day I will obtain Sharingan! Sasuke, bestow me a gift!" He grabbed Sasuke's shirt, and lifted him up. "Yes, it's time! Even after I attempted to obtain Sharingan from Itach, but I failed! But this time, I will obtain those eyes without any failure!" He opened his mouth and prepared to bite Sasuke onto the neck.

Gohan knew what Orochimaru was going to do. Naruto told him about Orochimaru! Gohan shouted angrily, "STOP, OROCHIMARU!" He powered up the blue aura around his body, as the strong wind pushed Sakura, Kuririn, Tenshinhan, and Yamucha backward a little.

Yamucha, Kuririn, Tenshinhan, and Sakura shocked, "Gohan/-kun!"

Orochimaru looked around at Gohan and shocked, 'What?! What a Ki! His Ki is skyrocketing higher and higher! Is this the power of hybrid Saiyan?! At this rate, his Ki might has surpassed Naruto's Ki at some point!"

Gohan's aura became bigger and bigger. He shouted loudly, "LEAVE SASUKE-SAN ALONE!" He charged towards Orochimaru at high-speed, leaving Orochimaru in shocked.

'Shit! If I take that blow, I will not be able to move again!' panicked Orochimaru. Gohan pulled his clenched fist up, and continued to raise his Ki farther. He continued to glare at Orochimaru, and came to Orochimaru closer and closer. 'I can't move at all! Am I trembling? Why do I tremble?'

Suddenly, the white portal opened up in between Gohan and Orochimaru, leaving both in shocked. Gohan stopped before the white portal. Gohan, Sakura, Yamucha, Tenshinhan, Kurirn, and Orochimaru confused, "What?"

Just then, Naruto suddenly emerged out of portal, and knocked Orochimaru away with just one punching! Sasuke landed a fall on the ground and groaned weakly. Naruto landed on the ground, and glared quietly at Orochimaru.

Gohan shocked, "Naruto-san!"

Sakura smiled happily, "Naruto-kun! You've come back!"

Kuririn chuckled happily, "I knew it! He's back!" Yamucha and Tenshinhan nodded in agreement.

Gohan looked at Naruto and smiled happily, "Is that really you, Naruto-san?"

Naruto did not move his head or his eyes around, but continued to set his furious eyes on Orochimaru, and nodded, "Yeah…"

Orochimaru slowly got up, and stared in shock at Naruto. "Naruto-kun… How did you escape?"

Naruto did not like this a bit. Since he disappeared from the trace of Earth, his friends were already in danger more than enough! He slowly lifted his finger and pointed at Orochimaru. He snarled, "You will pay for it! I'm pissed off! You can ruin my birthday party, or whatever! But… But… But I will not forgive you for hurting my friends!"

To be continued…

A/N: Hello, everyone! My apologies. This story might update every week until I finished my summer college. Next week will be my last one. I hope I can update faster on next two weeks. :D... That's why it takes a time to update chapter.

Anyways, I have a feeling that Orochimaru Arc is going to be over soon. Of course, I will not forget about Kyuubi. Yes, Kyuubi will appear in this arc! Please calm down and take a popcorn! Oh wait! This is ending chapter. Never mind then. See ya later! :D
