Orochimaru's eyes cast a stone cold glare at the defenseless Sasuke's body, laying on the ground without any chakra left to protect itself. This was his chance, he had waited for so many years for the apportunity to steal Sasuke's body away from him. A sudden explosion of wind errupted throughout the village, shaking the tree that Orochimaru had been in heavily causing hundreds of tiny leaves to fall from their branch and float gently to the ground. Orohcimaru's long black hair flaired about at his back as he moved from the tree down into the open field at incredibly high speeds, both of his feet trailing at the ground like the wheels of a train, peeling away the grass and leaving turnt up soil. His laughs chilled the blood of everyone that heard it, even the sound nin that served under his command. The fact that he was on the ground, was the signal for their retreat. Sasuke was down, Itachi was dead. It was apparent that this mission had been a failure, without those two, there was nothing that could be done. The intire point of this battle was to use Sasuke to put Itachi in a weakened state, Sasuke was supposed to die, so that there would be no one to stop Orochimaru from stealing the weakened Itachi's body. But those plans had been shot, Itachi was dead, and Orochimaru would steal Sasuke's body instead.
Sasuke opened his eyes wide, as he witnessed the scene before him, Orochimaru's long tongue curled out infront of his face, a hand drawn back to the side of his face with a kunai's tip jutting from in between the palm of his hand. Orochimaru's body twisted, lurching heavily and sending the kunai directly for the side of Sasuke's rib cage. Sasuke brought his arms up and curled in a slight ball, trying to find some way to protect himself from the inevitable blow. Nothing...nothing? Sasuke opened his eyes, feeling a small plat of liquid land on his forehead, and another man standing above him.
"Naru..to?"Sasuke forced these words out of his mouth.The person standing above him was a battered and beaten Naruto. He had jumped in the way of the kunai knife and allowed it to stab into the back of his left hand.
"Get..the hell...away from Sasuke you piece of.." Naruto brought his right fist back and bawled it up tightly, the red chakra surrounding his body bubbled angrily around the wound in his left hand, healing it up quickly. Naruto placed his right foot into the ground, then turnt it sideways causing the ground to cave into itself a bit as he shifted his lower half, and send his fist directly into the mouth of the sannin, sending him flying backwards, flipping a number of times before landing on the back of his head, the force of the fly made him roll along the ground a little bit, tumbling backwards over himself before hitting a tree with a large thud.
"You piece of shit!" Naruto called out, Orochimaru opened his eys to see the things around him, only to get caught in the middle of his face by yet another stiff right fist, this fist sending Orochimaru's head crushing through the trunk of the tree, and through to the other side. The other jounin of Konoha, all surrounded Orochimaru, some in the trees, and others on the ground around him. This was the last time they would allow someone to cause their families so much trouble. Orochimaru had killed their beloved third hokage, Sarutobi-dono, and no he was trying to kill them. Orochimaru staggered to his feet, this battle would be impossible to win, he still could not use his arms. The forbidden kinjutsu the third had used on him still had not be cured, he was no longer able to use any of the jutsu he had learned, all he could use was his abilities to use Taijutsu, and some of the other jutsu he could use without the need for hand seals.
"I dont think you understand the position you're in...children..." Orochimaru growled, his growl turned into a hiss.
"The man you all fight to protect, works for me now. He is a shinobi of sound, no longer affiliated with that of you Konoha brats." Orochimaru continued to mock them, even though he was surrounded above and on land. He was aware that he couldn't get away from them without a fight, but purhaps he could draw Sasuke with his words, sasuke was practically his slave now and he knew that there was no possible way they could beat Sasuke.
"Isn't that right...Sasuke-kun?" Orochimaru let out a small laugh. flipping his hair out of his face by jurking his neck back strongly, flinging it into the air.
"No!" Sasuke yelled, now standing directly infront of Orochimaru, his sharingan's extra pupils spinning violently in his eyes as he stared down his former kage.
"I was never part of Otogakure. I came to you for the power I needed to kill my brother, I have that now. You are no longer usefull. Now you are just a useless parasite, destined to become a memory..." Sasuke snarled at Orochimaru, then ducked quickly as a sharp right kick forced Orochimaru to stumble sideways. The kick was from Konohas great blue beast, Rock lee.
"Hiya!" He yelled as Orochimaru stumbled. Orochimaru pushed from the ground, trying to get away from the crowd but found himself stuck to the ground. Orochimaru looked down at his feet and gasped, seeding two large hands made of nothing but sand that seemed to pull him into the ground slowly grasping his ankles tightly. Gaara Of the desert mumbled heavily, the sound of anger piercing the skies.
"SUNA SHIGURE!"
A rain of sand pelted Orochimaru's body, the droplets of sand hit the ground around ihm, the rose up from the dirt, spinning around his body like a mini tornado made of the harsh brown substance that the Kaze-Kage was known for. Gaara Closed his hand right hand, a small circle of chakra immited from his hand briefly, forcing the tornado of sand to stop spinning and crush inswards tightly, compacting Orochimaru's body. The sound of bone cracking filled the air, along side Orochimaru's cries of Pain.
"SABAKU KYUU!" Gaara called out, then released the sand tight grip apon Orochimaru's body, leaving him alive, but terribly wounded. Orochimarus back slumped over, his long black hair fell from his shoulders and hung past his knees, dragging itself across the nod blood covered ground. Orochimaru's breathing had become shakey, blood dripped from his mouth and into the dirt.
"Its not over!" A voice called out.
"Hakke Rokujuu Yonshou!"(Devine 64 strikes) Soon Orochimaru felt himself caving in as fingers came quickly pouding into his chest relentlessly, hit after hit after hit. Orohcimaru could feel his chakra flow slowing down greatly, this could only mean one thing, it was one of the Hyuga Children most likely Neji. This ability was the most devistating of them all, purhaps he should have taken this boys body instead. It was too late now though, the only thing left for him would be the help of his otherwise loyal subordinate, Kabuto. The pummling stopped, and Orochimaru opened his eyes, blood now dribbling out of his ears, he forced out breath and yelled in pain as the expantion of his lungs stretched his brother ribs.
"Hakke Hyaku nijuu hachi shou!"(Devine 128 strikes) Neji called out, then commenced to pummling Orochimaru again. The Sounds of Orochimaru's chest being hit repeatedly shook the trees a bit, as each hit made its own chakra enduced "psh!". Hinata glared at Orochimaru from the tree tops, her Byakugan activated and glaring sternly downwards apon the head of the thoroughly beaten foe. Hinata began to jump down from the tree to get in her attack, wanting to punish Orochimaru for putting her husband through the hell he had gone through to gain Sasuke back, but she felt her jacket yank backwards, holding her to the tree limb.
"Dont go down there, its over...Look" Chouji pointed towards the on coming Naruto and Sasuke, walking side by side with their headbands tied tightly around their foreheads. Sasuke's blood stained white hair, bounced at his shoulders, then waved forwards as He stopped just infront of Orochimaru's standing body. Naruto stopped beside sasuke, the red chakra from before still flowing freely around his body, forming the outershell of a small wolf of some sort. Five long red chakra-tails flapped gently from the butt of the red chakra. Naruto growled and bawled his left hand up into a fist and brought it back towards the middle of Orochimaru's face.
CRACK!
Naruto's fist slammed up against the bottom right side of Orochimaru's jaw, causing him to bend backwards heavily, blood flipping from his mouth and onto his face and some on the knuckles of Narutos fist. Gaara looked from the trees, his hand still clamped tightly holding the hands that he had wrapped around Orochimaru's ankles a few minutes ago tightly, keeping him held down to the ground making it impossible for him to get away from the punishing blows Naruto delivered. Sasuke quickled reached forwards, grabbing a hand full of Orochimaru's hair and jurked him back upright, forcing him to stare into his eyes.
"Mangekyou sharingan!" Sasuke yelled. He created an illusion he had prepared specially for Orochimaru. He had planned on turning his back on Orochimaru sinse the day he came to him for help. Now he would use it. Orochimaru let out a horrible scream as Sasuke left his hair go.
"The pain you feel is real, this illusion will cause you tremendous physical pain. Tell me...How does it feel to have your arms stripped from you by Sarutobi-dono? I can only imagine the pain you're feeling right now." Sasuke stared down at Orochimaru who was holding his head and drooling on himself, the drool mixed with the blood at the ground, and dripped from his bottom lip, he scrame again.
"What you are experiencing now...is the pain you've caused. The lives you've taken, stare them all in the eyes, and feel the pain that they felt during their deaths. Yes, thats right, what you're feeling now, is a mixture of all their pains. If you cut their necks, you feel he slit in your own throat. Horrifing, isn't it?"Sasuke felt a hand grasp his shoulder, he turnt his head upwards and looked into the eyes of a tall woman wearing heels and a green vest.
"Tsunade?" Sasuke said with the slight sound of suprise in his voice.
"Old lady?" Naruto blurted.
"Kaze Kage-Sama, please release him from your sands grip." Tsunade asked Gaara. He did as she asked of him, allowing Orochimaru to fall to the ground in a crumbled heap of flesh.Tsunade stood above him, her legs spread, one leg on one side of his body and another on the other side. She looked at him, then put her hands on her hips and spit at him, splattering the blood she had in her mouth across his face. Tsunade bent down and picked Orochimaru's head up, placing a soft kiss on his forehead, whiping the blood away from his pale skin softly. She looked him in the eyes, his body shaking and trembling.
"T-Tsunade..sama..." Orochimaru's eyes opened wide.
"I always did think you were kind of cute, its too bad you pissed me off." Tsunade dropped his head coldly back onto the hard dirt and brought her fist backwards, then slammed it deep into the middle of Orochimaru's gut. As this happened, the ground Orochimaru was laying on cracked inwards, caving in on itself as the impact surged through his body. Tsunade sent a large explosion of Chakra through her arm and out of the tenketsu of her knuckles, activating the technique that was known for crushing mountains with a single tap of the finger. Its power added ten fold by the sheer force of the fist.
"ASSHOU!" She yelled as she felt the chakra shoot from her fist. As she said this, Orochimaru's body went directly into the earth, creating an extremely large crater in the ground about a mile deep. All of the ninja jumped into the air, to avoid getting caught in the downwards pull of the move the hokage just used. Everything stopped for a moment, the jounin landed safely on the roof tops of konoha and watched from a safe distance.
"KAI!(Release)" A sudden explosion of visible chakra roared into the skies above them, continuing to force Orochimaru into the ground, deeper and deeper. Rocks and dirt floated with the upwards pull of the chakra, passing softly by Tsunade's face as she bared her teeth and grinned her fist into his body. Tsunade soon stopped then turnt around and walked away, leaving the dead Orochimaru laying in the crater alone with the look of fear frozen on his cold face. She whipped dirt from her clothing and glared up at Sasuke, who walked up to her and stared her in the eyes. The intensity of his gaze had softened. He no longer saw her as an enemy, but someone he had deeply hurt. Sasuke turnt his eyes from hers, then put his left hand over the elbow of his right arm holding his wounds, and turnt to walk away.
"Where the hell are you going..."She said calmly.
"I belong to no Village now. Im leaving to go to the Rice COuntry." Sasuke said, determined to leave the shame he'd be forced to face if he stayed in Konoha.
"You belong to Konoha." Tsunade put a hand on his shoulder, and turned him back around tieing a fresh clean hitai-ate headband around Sasuke's forehead.
"You, are now an official Jounin of Konoha. I knew you'd go to Orochimaru before you left. He put his mark on you, it was inevitable. I know you killed Sakura, but she knew you'd kill her before you did it. Sakura asked me to forgive you for what you've done, and Naruto. He fought to bring you back, time and time again. After all the things you put him through, I couldn't let you leave like this, if I did, Naruto's beatings would have been for nothing" She smiled pulled Sasuke into her body and gave him a tight hug. Everyone watched silently for a moment, until Naruto jumped into the air out of sheer happiness screaming and dancing.
"BELIEVE IT!" He exclaimed happily. Naruto's joy seemed to take complete control over the rest of the jounin, even the lazily Shikamaru who normally didn't do anything other than complain. It was one of the most devistating days of konohas history,but also one of the happiest. It was finished, Tsunade looked at Naruto, walking towards him.
"I believe its time for your training...The sixth"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Orochimaru-sama...Orochimaru-sama... wake up..."
"Kabu-to?"
"Very Good..I was afraid I wouldn't be able to dig you out in time. The blow Tsunade delt you almost killed you, it took alot of Chakra, but I was able to use my Medicle abilities and heal your organs and vital areas. Your bones may take sometime to heal, but atleast you'll be able to try this again."
Faded...Broken...Completely destroyed...Orochimaru's eyes opened, their gaze, completely blurred and blinded due to the pain his body was in. It was as he thought, Kabuto would help him out. Kabuto and Kimimaro, the only two of his close subordinates to ever go through such straining tasks, to see for his safety. Orochimaru lifted his right hand up, and placed his palm on the cheek of the white haired mans face.
"Next time...we will destroy Konoha!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A cold wind blew apon two cloaked figures.One with a sword, and another with a small bell clipped on the brim of a straw hat. They both looked down apon the cheering village of Konoha with expressionless eyes, and a cold heart. They found no reason to cheer, and didn't see the point in cheering. Half of Konoha had been destroyed, it would take months, maybe even years to clean the rubble, count the bodies of dead ninja, villagers and children, then ontop of all that, rebuild konoha and train new stronger genin, to replace the chuunin, jounin and anbu that died a tedious task that would not be completely quickly nor easily.
"Come on Kisame...We shouldn't waste time. We have alot of trail to cover, and not much time to do it."
"Alright Itachi, but, I have a question."
"what?"
"Why didn't you go down there and fight your brother yourself? Its obvious that you could have killed him if you had just gone down there yourself. Clones can't do all the things the real person can do."
Itachi looked over his shoulder at Kisame, his eyes in their Sharingan form.
"He still isn't worth killing..."
