"How can this be. I created this universe. This is my own space!" A pale man shouted in shock and disbelief as he was attacked by his own dark snakes.

"Try all the Jutsu you wish. But my eyes." A young man said but was interrupted.

"No! I will not allow this to happen. This will not happen to me. Especially not here!" Orochimaru screamed in denial.

"You should've known better than to assume that your will could overcome mine, Orochimaru. Now witness your reckoning." Sasuke admonished while standing with the snakes he turned against their master.

'How dare he turn this ritual against me. Damn that brat. Damn him straight to hell! Tsk, it appears I have no other options. Well if I am to die then I'll make sure that I'll drag Sasuke with me. And here I thought this part of the ritual was unnecessary, of course, that was made with Sarutobi-sensei in mind.' Orochimaru thought.

"It seems that the end is nigh. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll have plenty of company in hell. Itachi will be joining you soon enough." Sasuke gloated.

Orochimaru chuckled, a sound that would normally terrify most Jonin and ANBU, but in this instance came out as rasping and weezy.

"Even now you still utter that annoying laugh. Has your madness fallen even further?"

"Well no. It's just that if I'm going to hell then it won't be Itachi that'll be keeping me company." The Sannin taunted now he held the advantage.

"How so? Your world is falling apart at the seams. There is nothing you can do now." The Uchiha asked.

"That's where you are wrong."

Right at the moment where Orochimaru was almost consumed by Sasuke's will did something happen.

The world was disintegrating.

"What did you do!" Sasuke shouted, his calm and assured sense of victory broken by this development.

"All you had to do was simply step aside and let me take your body Sasuke. At least then I would've killed Itachi for you and completed my goals. Now unfortunately because of you none of that is happening. Now we'll both die. Well, temporarily in my case." Orochimaru said relishing in his new found victory.

"If you think I'll let you get away with this then think again!"

"Soon you won't be thinking at all. Once the disintegration effect is complete there will be nothing left of this world. You will either die or be trapped, falling in an abyss for eternity."

"Won't the same happen to you too!"

"Of course not. You aren't the only person with my curse mark. Once I 'die', so to speak, I will awake once again and live on."

"No."

"Kukukuku! No! Kukukuku! I'm sorry Sasuke but denial will do nothing here. Prepare for the end." Orochimaru gloated, enjoying the look of despair on the Uchiha's face.

"I refuse! I REFUSE!"

'Looks like Sasuke can't handle the cold truth. No matter, it's best to savor-What!' This time it was Orochimaru's sense of victory that was shattered.

"Impossible! It can't be!"

Tears of blood now fall from Sasuke's face as his Sharingan morphs into something. That something being the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"If I'm dying then I'm sure as hell not doing so without taking you with me!" As he said this he ran to Orochimaru who was still trapped in the fleshy substance that made up the dying world. "Amaterasu!" Was all the Uchiha exclaimed.

'Amaterasu was Itachi's Jutsu, how can it be that Sasuke has it too!' It was becoming harder to think over the agony of being afflicted both by having his soul being destroyed and the black fire eating at him 'No matter, all this means is that I'll be out of here soon enough.'

'Wait a minute. I can feel the Amaterasu, yes, however, I'm also feeling it distantly somehow.'

"My neck!" A woman with purple hair cried out as a mark on her neck caught on fire.

"WHAT DID YOU DO!" The Snake Sannin's worry turned into panic when could no longer sense his Curse Marks.

"It seems that the hellfire of Amaterasu consumes all, and in here, even the soul."

"H-how… HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!"

"It's simple. The power of the Uchiha transcends all other, even your very being can not compare to the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan! How fitting that what you have obsessed over be your very downfall.

'No...dammit all. It can't end like this. I was to receive everything…..'

"...don't forget, Mangekyou or no you cannot survive. I'll...be...seeing..you..s-soon Sasuke Uchih…..ha" These were the last words Orochimaru has ever spoken. So erased his soul has been by Amaterasu that he will not even appear in the Pure World, all that awaits the Sannin is oblivion.

'Heh. I finally have the same eyes as you Itachi. But what good is it now that I'll be gone soon. I hate to admit it but my only hope for revenge falls on to you, Naruto. I hope you can forgive me for the pain I left you and Sakura.'

'Uncle, Auntie, Shisui, Mother, Father, I hope that you and the rest of the clan can forgive me for failing to avenge you. But at least I can see you all again.'

With the last thought of Sasuke Uchiha passed, the world where Orochimaru used to steal the souls of countless others has come to an end, along with its final inhabitant.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Once I finally regained consciousness the first thing that took my notice was the ache I'm feeling in my everything. It felt like I fell off a roller coaster going at max speed. Except rather than that it was by having my very soul grabbed, spun a bit, and threw in a scene reminiscent of BT throwing Cooper to only God knows where. Literally in that case with that son of a rabbit bitch aka the Sage of Six Paths being the one who threw me. Turns out that the whole talk with the ninja God and being put in the body of Sasuke Uchiha with all of the nonsense that was the Six Paths Chakra thing wasn't just a dream.

Oh God, I've been put in an isekai. Let's ignore the thoughts that'd lead to an existential crisis or focus on the sadness of losing my previous life and just focus on the adventure I'm sure to have here.

The pain was pretty bad but thankfully something took my mind off it, the smell. Like holy shit why does it smell like rotting animals?

squish

A quick look at the floor answered that question. Turns out I stepped in the remains of Orochimaru's snake form thing. Ew ew ew ew! The worst part was that I had sandals on so I can feel this shit on my toes, all slimy and squishy and shit. Even while dead that fucker makes me disgusted. Yuck.

Whatever, my main priority should be getting the hell out of here. This was one of Orochimaru's hideouts and it's sure to be full of nasty shit, said shit likely to break free once they realize that the boss ain't around. Although that shouldn't be an issue with who I am and what I could do but I really do not want to get into a fight right now, especially not when I just got this body.

Sure Sasuke at this point of time was well above the level of any prisoner or experiment here, and the extra power ups I've gotten would trivialize anything this place has to offer but those power ups drains a lot of chakra that I can't use right now and would get a lot of the wrong attention. And no amount of Itachi looking out for his brother will stop Pain, Obito, or Zetsu from dealing with a threat to their plans.

Oh, and speaking of threats to plans, there's Kabuto.

Hold up, I don't see grey hair near the door. What happened to Kabuto?

—-

A conversation was being held at the ramen place Naruto liked so much. Right now he was finishing up his story of how his trip to find the new Hokage went.

"And you know that Kabuto guy from the Chunin Exams right, turns out he was with Snake face the whole time!" Naruto said continuing a story he was telling. A nod of the head was Sasuke's reply.

"So I catch him beating on Granny Tsunade and I step in cuz I'm awesome like that. He got a few hits in, I'll admit it, and said some crap about dreams or whatever. Then while he's distracted I hit 'em with the Rasengan that I mastered, the same Jutsu that the Fourth Hokage used! You should've seen his face! …and the mess." Naruto excitedly said before it died off when he remembered this Rasengan jutsu's aftermath.

'I hadn't seen him get so somber since Wave.' He thought.

"Didn't Tsunade rant about you almost throwing up on her, and then I quote, 'using your face as a mop'" The Toad Sannin butt in adding a part of the story Naruto left out.

A chuckle escaped his lips with the thought of his teammate in such a position. Said action got the attention of Naruto and Jiraiya as this was the first time they heard him chuckle today.

The laughter of his Sensei and his rival seemed to tic Naruto off even further. First he turned to Jiraiya. "I said I was sorry, jeez! She didn't need to say something so gross." Then he turned his head in my direction. "And you shouldn't be laughing at me! When I become Hokage I'll make you the janitor of my office, believe it!"

Before Sasuke could reply and possibly set off an argument Jiraiya interrupted with his comment. "Kid you're lucky! The things I'd do to get Tsunade to use me like a mop, you don't even want to know!" The suddenly perverted old man said with a lecherous giggle.

'He was right, I don't want to know. What was with Konoha and having its strong shinobi being so perverted or so strange?'

"I think I heard Sakura calling for me, I'll see you later Naruto." He decided he had enough of this conversation and left to do something better with his time.

"Sasuke don't leave me with him!" Naruto cried over whatever nonsense the Toad Sage was shamelessly speaking.

'Heh. This is what you get for thinking you could make a janitor out of me Naruto.' With that he made his way to the Uchiha compound to get some training in and improve his Chidori.

Huh. So the Rasengan actually kills people.

Well shit.

(Made some edits, i.e cutting out the part with the Sage. So hopefully this looks better now even if it's a lot shorter. And for any new readers who are confused, basically I removed a ROB conversation that went on for a little too long.)
