Character assessment, sasuke
Haha. I thought I'd better be good to Mrs Seno, since I do know of a Mrs Seno, and in fact she's a really nice person! So I'll make her seem appreciated in this 'lil fic of mine! And sorry for some irrelevant parts... I don't have the manga to refer to currently
DISCLAIMER AND SPOILER ALERT!
I'm picking random parts outta the story to elaborate on (or fancify on) and use as plots, cuz I'm not really that creative a writer. Furthermore, it makes chapter updates alot more consistent and easier to keep track of. This alert and disclaimer applies to all my chappies okay? For the disclaimer, I don't own any characters specified in this entire story, but if I DO have a character, undoubtedly her name would be lspeakl. Yeahh.

'Ahh... sweet money' Kabuto sighed, as he finally picked up the 'what to do' list for the money. The first priority was 'paying rent'. Following that was 'Getting a gift for Mrs Seno'. How surprising... Kabuto didn't even expect himself to place Mrs Seno on such a high priority. Glancing at the remainder of the list, he had no choice but to place Mrs Seno in that high priority position. After all, without Mrs Seno's help, he probably wouldn't have been able to fufill the remaining checks on the checklist. Items such as 'subi throwing stars', 'double blade kunai' etc. would probably have not even existed for him. He would probably have rotted away without by then.
Kabuto then headed off to the nearby hypermarket and purchased the necessary items, before heading back home. A piece of paper then fluttered by.
'Ah?' Kabuto questioned under his breath as he looked at the writing. It wrote: 'Remember to practise chidori. Fight Naruto.' What the! Kabuto almost voiced out loud. The only people who could use the chidori were.. Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke. But judging from the handwriting, it must have been Sasuke. But wasn't Sasuke already under Orochimaru-sama's care? Wait.. he wasn't, was he? Kabuto scrunched his brow. His memories seemed kind of jumbled. Ah? Then suddenly the thought struck him. Just yesterday, Orochimaru-sama had given him the Magic Mirror of Time. No wonder he was so jumbled! He could switch his mindset back and forth in the naruto storyline
Back home, Kabuto then read the instructions at the back of the mirror. It went along this line:
1. Use this to travel through time, not to comb your hair.
2. To go anytime in the Naruto series, look into me and concentrate on which part of the story you want to go to.
3. I've jumbled your thoughts, cause I'd just randomly inserted the entire the entire Naruto series into your brain. Don't sweat this out. It's quite simple actually.
4. Don't break me! Cause if you do, you'll just get bad luck!(inserts heart)
Kabuto sweatdropped. What kind of a mirror was this? Then he noticed some fine print. It went: 'Oh, and you can't see your own future. Parts where you existed will be blanked out.' How handy. Kabuto sighed. Wearily, he then removed his spectacles with one hand, while using the edge of his shirt to clean his spectacles. Just then, something beeped.
'Beep beep!'
'Beep beep!'
Kabuto haphazardly jammed his spectacles onto his face, and hunted for that beeping noise. Aha! It came from.. the mirror! Kabuto picked it up, and not knowing what else to do, peered into the glass piece. Almost immediately, Orochimaru's face appeared, along with a series of ripples.
'AAH!' Kabuto yelled, almost dropping the mirror.
'Ah? Didn't you read the fine print?' Orochimaru asked the stunned youth.
'I guess not all..' The youth replied hesitantly
'Anyway, your next mission is to spy on Sasuke!' Orochimaru chirped, sounding like a mix of bird and nails on chalkboard. 'A thousand dollars bonus if you finish it within the hour!' The face disappeared as quickly as it did appear.
'Damn.' Kabuto cursed. 'I still had some questions to ask him..' He then decided to complete the mission. After all, who could ever have enough money? The young man smiled. Picking up the mirror, he then looked into its depths and thought silently: Bring me to a situation where Sasuke and Naruto are having a fight for their lives. Even as he was thinking the thought, he felt the ground beneath him start to spin, and somehow lost all sense of direction as the world around him spun like never before.
As the ground stabilized, Kabuto realised that he wasn't suffering motion sickness or anything of that sort. Amazing. Suddenly, he heard a loud crash. Impulsively, he jumped backwards and pulled his emergency kunai out of its sheath in his sock, bracing it against his palm, ready to stab, when suddenly he spotted Sasuke. The battle! Just then, Naruto came rushing toward him at lightning speed. Ah! Then a 'whooshing' sound was heard, and Kabuto realised that.. Naruto had ran through him! wow.. Jumping backwards, Kabuto then hid himself behind a large boulder, and started to observe.
Sasuke was obviously in his Second stage of the curse seal. His hair was flared up, white and devilish, and his eyes had become dark hollows with two piercing yellow balls serving as pupils. His speed was amazing, but looking at Naruto, they both were probably at around the same power level. And Naruto hadn't even fully unleashed his Kyuubi. Amazing. If he ever got a fully impacted hit from either of them, he would most likely be unable to continue any report for a long long time to come. Kabuto shuddered.
Suddenly, Sasuke stopped, and did a few hand-seals at superb speed, while turning around. As his body completed the turn, he let out the large breath he was holding, only to have it come out in a HUGE fireball. In fact, the flame was at such a high temperature that it looked blue. Darkish blue. Even in his unusual form, Kabuto still felt the massive heat wave sweep over him, and felt his hairs singeing. Another amazing feat.
Naruto however, was now emitting a reddish chakra, which apparently had shielded him from the flames. A physical attack! Tha.. that can't possibly be. It never happened before, unless it was spun at such high speeds that it caused the dust in the air to solidify or wind to spin at a speed so that the attack was spun off course. No.. This chakra.. He then noticed the state of Naruto clothes. The chakra had burned some parts of it, while cutting up other parts. Simply amazing.
The battle then continued for a few more hours, with both sides seemingly equally matched. Then he noticed Naruto's speed increasing. Or was it that Sasuke was slowing down? Probably the latter. But Sasuke noticed too, and suddenly rained a barrage of attacks on Naruto, until he pushed Naruto off the edge of the waterfall. Ow.
Then came the part where both Naruto and Sasuke seemed to be doing something with both their chakras. Naruto seemed to be.. spinning his, while Sasuke seemed to.. compressing it into this ball structure.. Kabuto gasped. That was the legendary palm Justus, Rasengan and Chidori. How could they have mastered such intricate Justus at such a young age? Kabuto was awestruck. He penned it down hurriedly.
Then both turned around simultaneously, and charged at each other at lightning speed. The next thing Kabuto knew was that there was this big explosion, and there was this ball of nuclear? chakra just above the surface of the water. Kabuto saw Sasuke and Naruto's shadows vaguely in the ball of highly charged chakra. Yet another amazing feat. Evil chakra against demon chakra. which would prevail as the stronger one? The chakra suddenly exploded, and Kabuto was pushed back a few centimetres by the sheer force of it. Even in his 'shadow' form.
Kabuto was squatting over a toilet bowl, clutching on to his notebook and pen for dear life. Opening his eyes a slit, Kabuto then realised the change in area. 'What the!' Kabuto exclaimed. He then stood up, and dug for the freshest memory in his brain. The Sasuke and Naruto battle. Chidori. Rasengan. Chakra. Level two. Good. The facts were still there. Kabuto then raced out, thankful that he had transported to the time before the battle. He then raced home, and started penning down all that had went down, and all that he remembered.
Kabuto's notes on Sasuke
Power-hungry as he activates his curse seal Level two at a early stage battle
Naive as he probably doesn't know the soul exchange rate for the curse seal, especially for the much accelerated level two curse seal.
Accomplished as he masters the Chidori at such a young age, along with Naruto who masters the Rasengan. Probably knows many more Jutsus
Has effective chakra control as he can blow a fireball of a big size, yet with enough pressure that the flame is hot enough to turn blue.
Here, Kabuto then inserts some of his memory into a piece of glass (somewhat like putting info into a floppy disc) of the heated battle, which would happen soon.
'Orochimaru-sama, the info.' Kabuto said with respect, while handing over the paper with the shard of glass.
'Glass, huh?' Orochimaru then commented, as he glanced at his watch.
'Congrats, boy. You made it at the 59th minute and 51st second.' A fresh thousand-dollar note was pressed into Kabuto's palm.
'Ah? Didn't I spend a few hours in the looking glass?' Kabuto queried
'Time varies in different dimensions, boy. And it truly is a gift that you could unlock the time travel secret..' Orochimaru said as wistfully as he could.
Kabuto's eyes widened. He never knew that only certain powers were unlocked to certain people. But he knew now.
'Keep the mirror then,' Orochimaru ordered.
'Yes, sir.' Kabuto smiled. He was starting to like his new boss more and more.
Knock knock Kabuto rapped twice on Mrs Seno's door.
Hesitantly, a person opened the door, her fear only changing to joy and suprise.
'Kabuto!'
'Ahh... Mrs Seno, here's only a small thank-you gift for all your help all these while.' Kabuto said, hoping he sounded more grateful than he felt. He felt like Jell-o. Mrs Seno smiled.
'Thanks!' She replied, while accepting the boquet of flowers, smiling.
