Chapter 5: Dangerous minds part 2

"Orochimaru?" Kisame said looking up at the two connected Towers from the outside. "Should have known, why else would the kid be here." They'd finally tracked Konohamaru down after some…interrogation, that involved bullets, and it lead the two to Orochimaru's front door so to speak. "So which building do we take?"

"The one on the left." Itachi told him confidently.

Of course Kisame couldn't see the reason he picked one over the other. "Why that one?"

"Or Information suggest that Konohamaru was travailing by car before he was intercepted by Orochimaru. The Left tower is the only one that has an underground parking garage or a Helipad." Itachi explained. Kisame only shrugged and walked forward to the front doors of the left tower. Glass doors with a shutter closed on the other side blocking any attempt of anyone to see or get inside.

"Tch, like this is really going to stop me." Kisame, now having his holster over his shirt, drew one of the Magnums, the on left side with a brown handle. Holding it outward at point blank range to the door, he fired one shot and the bullet almost instantly shattered the glass and went easily through the steel shutter on the other side. Kisame knelt down and reached past the broken door to the bottom of the shutter, firing one shot into the center where the lock resided. From there Kisame could easily lift it up to reveal the lobby.

Both of them stepped inside, A large room with chairs against both walls, a large circular desk in the center. Behind it was a hallway on the left wall, two elevators and a door leading to a stairway in-between them. A Guard was sitting at the desk, he reached down and pressed a button before attempting to draw his gun. He couldn't get his hand on the handle before Kisame shot him in the head. "Too slow."

Itachi jumped over the desk, landing behind it next to the chair where the dead guard's body lay. A few things were back here, a box of 9mm ammunition, personal items and a layout of a map above a calendar. Itachi took the map and climbed over the desk again, looking over it quickly the handing it over to Kisame. "That button just alerted the security office on the third floor."

"They're probably waiting for us to get on the elevator so they can stall it and trap us there." Kisame said, standing in front of the door to the stairway. "By now they're waiting for us on the steps too. Ready Itachi?"

Itachi only glanced at him, pulling his Custom M4A1 assault riffle from the strap on his back. Itachi pressed his body against the wall, peering over in to the glass window to make sure no one was waiting for him on the other side, then abruptly turned and kicked open the door.

! - ! - !

"I have to admit, you're a tough kid." Orochimaru said with a hint of something between amusement and sarcasm in his voice. He looked down at Konohamaru, laying on the ground curled into a ball with his body shivering, though not from coldness. His eyes where wide and his mouth was open slightly. "I'm sure you can take one more injection."

"NO!" Konohamaru shouted, pleaded, begged. A violent shudder tore through his body at Orochimaru's words, he just wished it would end already…"Please…don't"

"Then you'll tell me?" Orochimaru inquired with some sense of victory in his voice.

"…No." Konohamaru clinched his eyes tightly, he had to force the word out because he knew what it would bring.

"Alright then, this drug apparently isn't work so I'll just have to stop using it." Orochimaru said with fake defeat, Konohamaru peeked one eye open and looked up at him curiously. It seemed true, the man was putting the needle and the vile back down on the tray sitting on a table in a slightly illuminated room. "We'll move on to something different."

Orochimaru walked out of sight in the shadows and flipped a switch, to Konohamaru's relief it turned on the lights. "My sources tell me that you hold a certain anxiety towards Blood." Orochimaru reached down and picked the boy up by his neck, holding him outward to make sure Konohamaru wouldn't kick him.

Konohamaru gasped for air, clinching Orochimaru's arm an a futile attempt to pull him off. He could only squirm and try to breath while the man carried him across the room, the last thing he needed was to be deprived of air again after the paralyzing drugs. "You should feel special, I built this just for you ." Orochimaru looked on to the strained expression on the boy's face and knew this would be the breaking point.

Orochimaru tossed Konohamaru against the wall next to what appeared to be a large box. He didn't get a good first look, he was too busy bracing himself for impact but he did a poor job since he was more concerned about filling his lungs with air only to have it knocked out again. Orochimaru lifted the lid on a long black container that came up to Orochimaru's waist.

He pressed a button, making the black tent of the container become clear like glass, showing what was inside. There was a thick, red liquid that make Konohamaru freeze at the sight while still panting heavily 'Blood….'

"Your remind me so much of your parents when you make that look." Orochimaru said, looking down at the boy with his chin cuffed in his hand thoughtfully "That's the look they made right before I shot them." Orochimaru was telling the truth, but he was only telling Konohamaru this to farther torture him mentally. And also as a segway to his next form of mental torture he would inflict.

Konohamaru glared up at him again, Orochimaru's been making his life miserable since he was born. He never felt anything like the hate he felt for this person, it was overwhelming, engulfing. Something that seemed to be consuming his soul, and it scared him. It was a pain that followed him everyday, at night it would stalk him like the shadows on the wall and enter his dreams, changing them to nightmares. It was terrifying to him to think he could even feel this way, but he wouldn't let it control him…easier said then done.

Orochimaru grabbed him by his neck again and lifted him into the air, holding his body over the pool of blood…but that wasn't all that lay inside of the container. "I sure your mad at me for that…but I can reunite you with them right now." He looked on as Konohamaru's eyes grew wide again and his struggling increased. "Don't worry, I'm not talking about killing you."

Orochimaru let go of him, dropping him into the blood with a loud yelp from the boy. Konohamaru tried to jump back out but Orochimaru pushed his head under with his hand, he could feel the boy squirming, shaking, fighting to get out . But it was no use, Orochimaru had him too tightly.

Konohamaru could feel some other things drifting around in the liquid, pieces of something soft but firm… and hard surrounded him. But he really didn't care, he was surrounded in this, surrounded by the death of who knows how many people.

Finally after a minute Orochimaru let him up. "Stop it! Let me out of here!"

Konohamaru flailed wildly, half wanting to get as much of the blood off of him as he could and half just wanting to get as far away as he could. But some time in the course of this, something had gather in Konohamaru's hair when he was under and it fell down around his neck, making him freeze again. "No…No, No, No….." Konohamaru pulled up in front of his face and looked at it carefully, it was his father's dogtag.

'Hotagashi Reedamaru'

"I told you I'd reunite you with your parents." Orochimaru said with a small laugh, watching Konohamaru's face turn pale when he realized that these were his parent's blood and body part's chopped up in place in this container. "Ready to tell me?"

Konohamaru didn't respond, he couldn't find the strength to say anything at that moment even if he wanted to. His body started to shake causing ripples in the liquid, tears fell from his eyes causing the blood to splash slightly. He felt violently sick at that movement and that normal anxiousness turned to a pure fear like state though he wasn't scared. Orochimaru could only shrug uncaringly "If you have to vomit do it now."

Konohamaru yelled at the top of his lungs, louder then he ever imaged he could go. His throat instantly hurt from pushing his voice past it's limits, but his mouth closed on it's own when Orochimaru shoved him under again. The struggling was much more violent this time, Orochimaru had to use two hands to hold him down.

! - ! - !

"Konohamaru!" Naruto shouted in surprise, he knew he heard the distinctive cry of Konohamaru, it was unmistakable. He was still handcuffed behind his back with Kidomaru standing over him, it didn't matter anymore, he had to do something now. Naruto started shifting around in the handcuffs, using the easy way out of two escape options and slipping his hands through.

"Fuck off!" Naruto shouted, jumping to his feet and sending a sharp kick to Kidomaru's shins. While he was falling, Naruto ran over to the one armed Guard still remain and grabbed the Ak7 assault riffle, only it was still strapped to his neck. Naruto pulled it back, making the unexpecting man lean forward only to get a sharp kick to the crouch that made him hunch over enough for Naruto to pull the gun of his neck and run for the door.

But the time he got to the hallway Kidomaru was directly behind him about to grab him. Naruto dived forward, rolling in the air and landing on his back just in front of Kidomaru. He immediately pulled the trigger, the gun in turn roared to life and sent a barrage of bullets into Kidomaru's stomach and chest.

Naruto stopped firing and backed up as the man fell to the ground and the other guard ran out of the room. Only Naruto was expecting him and pulled the trigger once quickly, firing one shot into the side of his head. He hadn't gone through military school for nothing, he knew how to aim and fire a gun.

"Where the hell am I?" Naruto said to himself, looking around the empty hallway. The wall opposite the door was made mostly of long glass windows allowing one to see outside clearly. The only thing he could tell was that he was near the top of the building, about 4 floors from it. This was the only room in this hall, the only other thing here was a door leading out of the corridor.

"Konohamaru's voice came from above…I have to get up there."

Naruto heard a sound outside, curiosity drove him to look out of the window again toward the source. On this side of the building a helicopter was heading towards them from the sky…"What's going on?"

! - ! - !

"Was that sound what I thought that was?" Kisame said stopping just outside of the security office door after leveling a trail of dead bodies behind him. "Was that Konohamaru?"

Itachi looked towards the air vent above them, his scream was carried down through the shaft which seemed to be directly connected to the room Konohamaru was being held in. He immediately pointed that fact out to Kisame. "We need to figure out where this leads."

"Alright then." Kisame pointed one of his Magnums at the lock on the door, easily shooting it apart and kicking the door open. Two men were waiting for them with handguns pointed at the door, they open fire as soon as the door opened. But they were surprised to find that no one was on the other side.

They didn't have time to contemplate it through, machine gun rounds flew threw the walls, the first to hitting random places on there torso's but the rest of them hit in the head and heart region. Itachi was the first to enter the door, walking over to a control panel with a screen for each camera in the building, except that there was no cameras on the top floor

Along with it was more buttons, switches, and 3 phones. More importantly a separate screen with a complete 3D layout of the building, everything from the rooms to the ventilation systems. Everything was wired to the alarm system so everything was mapped out.

Itachi sat down at the panel, and after giving it a once over look he was able to figure it out completely. "That ventilation shaft leads to many different rooms on every floor, but only one room on the top level."

"And I assume that's where Orochimaru is." Kisame said, glancing around at the cameras on the screen, not spotting anything in particular worth interest. Everyone on the first 3 levels were dead anyway, Kisame shrugged and looked at the controls underneath. It didn't take him long to find the one he was looking for and use it to reactivate the elevators.

While Itachi figured out a way to get there, Kisame dropped the empty clip out of his silver Magnum with the black handle. He customized it to take ammunition clips through the handle like a regular handgun, used to load his customized ammunition, as well as normal bullets the normal way.

He pulled a clip from his waistband under his shirt, some of his customized ammunition he created. Then he did the same for his other gun with the brown handle. One of them were .44 Freezing rounds, thin aluminum shell surrounding a small capsule of Liquid nitrogen. The bullet heats up when it's fired, Kisame uses that heat to melt the casing around the bullet launch the liquid nitrogen capsule into the target.

The other one was his regular incinerating rounds, they were created using the same concept of the freezing rounds, that heat from the bullet's discharge heats up a highly flammable liquid inside. The casing melts and launches a capsule that already on fire before it leaves the gun's barrel. All of his custom ammunition used that concept to unleash it's contents on to the user, including a clip of Poison rounds he was saving just incase he ran out of any of the other two types he brought.

"The bastard did pretty well for himself since he dropped out. " Kisame smirked evilly. "I can't wait to see him again, payback is so really going to be a bitch."

Itachi glanced back at him, as much as Kisame acted like he didn't want to be bothered with Konohamaru, he was highly protective and as it appeared now, very vindictive over him. Itachi may have been stronger and more powerful, but Orochimaru's main problem was defiantly going to be Kisame. "There's no cameras on that level, I'm not sure where Konohamaru is exactly."

"All I know is that if we don't find him, I'm aiming for Orochimaru's balls first."

! - ! - !

Ebisu, strapped a knife to his left leg under his pants and out of sight, clinching his STI Eagle 9mm in his hand tightly. 4 other men of his usual team were in the helicopter with him as the pilot approached Orochimaru's Towers, all of them getting ready to encounter hostile enemies.

"What should I do?" The pilot asked.

Ebisu hadn't realized they where here already, and they'd be the only ones coming. Ebisu had a hell of a time trying to get another Helicopter being this far way from the Leaf country. And they were the only ones coming because they couldn't get a call to Konoha warning that Konohamaru had been captured. A jamming signal was being sent out from the Sound country (Get it?), and from where they're first Helicopter went down they had already been too close so they where effected by it.

"Drop us off on the Helipad and then circle around." Ebisu directed, he couldn't help but think of just how much hell it was to get this Helicopter, they had to steal it from the on coming Sound forces. Not an easy task! And he would have got a fighter plane if he didn't need to carry his team with him. They couldn't turn back to Konoha, they would never get past the forces surrounding the city, They'd be killed before they got close.

They couldn't go back so that that meant they were infiltrating this base with little weapons or equipment. That meant only a Handgun for Ebisu, but it didn't matter, he had to find Konohamaru. "Every one get ready to move, we'll have to go fast when we land to get past anyone on the roof. " Ebisu said. "Be conservative and be careful, remember our main goal is to get Konohamaru and get out of there, not fight the security team. Use stealth, and if possible avoid gunfights."

"What about the other two that were with Konohamaru?" One of the men asked.

"If you see them, bring them along. But remember our main objective is Konohamaru."
