Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 2000-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.

(Village of Sound.)

Marmora was awakened by another punch. He turned his bruised face towards Shin before one of the man's 'clones' stepped backwards. He cracked his neck before he looked at the man.

"What's the matter, you get sick of talking with your son?" He asked, he felt blood on his lips before Shin stepped in front of him.

"You know, I got very lucky with manipulating your enemy to bring you here… You have no idea how many channels I had to get you here." Shin said, Marmora pursed his lips.

"I'm just some nameless soldier, you brought me here for what? You want Sasuke dead but you don't have the guts to get your own hands dirty." He said, another slap, he spat blood to the ground.

"I will snap his worthless throat like a twig! Hmm. You seem to think you are worthless. You are a lot more then you appear, these eyes do not lie. You can pretend to be something you aren't; you might not have the powers of the Hokage… Or the eyes and abilities of that imposter… But you are something similar." He said before he turned to the rest of his men.

"Prepare for their arrival. They will be here soon; the imposter is married to a tracker… Leave Sasuke to me." He ordered and the thugs, soldiers and clones left.

"The Akatsuki will be reborn anew." He stated before Marmora chuckled.

"I pegged you wrong, you're not ugly like I thought, your just insane if you think your stronger then Sasuke and Sakura combined." He said before Shin left.

Marmora hung from the chains and looked at his bloodied chest. He started twisting his hands.

He just needed to break the shackles and he would go after Shin.

(10:30AM, with Sasuke, Karin and Sakura)

Karin used her Mind's Eye of the Kagura and hummed, Karin turned to Sasuke and Sakura.

Sakura hadn't changed into her ninja clothes, she didn't care, she didn't want to waste a second.

"I can sense Marmora, he's a few miles outside of the town… It's in one of Orochimaru's old hideouts." She stated, Sakura crossed her arms.

"Hmm…" Sasuke hummed, Sakura turned to look at them.

"We need to go and get him! Danuja could be torturing him to death!" Sakura yelled before Sasuke shook his head.

"We need a plan. Danuja wouldn't kill him if he wants something from him, he'd keep him alive… " He stated before he turned and then he turned in time to notice something.

He blocked a kick that sent him backwards before the being flipped backwards.

"I shouldn't have expected an easy fight… good." He heard and then saw the figure.

It had pale skin, no hair, no teeth. He saw that he… If it could be called a he, had no right arm at the bicep. He had 2 Sharingan eyes, 3 on his head, he could see more through his eye… 2 on his shoulder, one on his pectoral muscles, 1 on each of his triceps, 5 on his left arm and 1 on his left hand.

He recognized where he had seen the man before. He had seen that arm on Danzo before…

"Who are you?" Sasuke asked, slightly caught off guard by the appearance of so many Sharingan eyes.

"I am the one who will dispose of your corpse and return this world to its natural order of warfare. I believe you would know me as the man who took your friend…" Sasuke heard, Sakura ground her fist into her palm.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KIDNAPPED MARMORA!?" Sakura yelled; the man chuckled with amusement.

"Yes, I am the one who masterminded the capture of Marmora Aito, he is such an interesting test subject… You may call me Shin Uchiha." He said before he rushed at Sasuke.

Sakura rushed forward, looking to crush the man under her fist. Shin leapt to the side before her fist crushed the ground near him.

Sasuke pursued the man while Sakura went to chase after him. Sakura turned and saw something behind him.

A much smaller version of Shin? 2 of them, they retreated back, Sakura rushed after them. She knew they would lead her to Marmora. She risked one glare toward Sasuke, he was already fully engaging Shin, a Chidori in his hand.

He would be fine; she would help him if he could. She turned to the… Sons? She saw one of Danuja's elite soldiers rush at her.

She quickly dodged his sword slash before she kicked the man into the air. She continued to pursue the sons; she would get Marmora back.

(With Marmora)

Marmora looked at the 2 clones and Yousuke standing in front of him. He hummed and then looked to the side.

"So, how did Danuja's own bodyguard and enforcer doing working for what I can only assume is a walking science experiment." He asked, he looked at the man who huffed with annoyance.

Yousuke hid himself under and a metal mask, he had the symbol of the Akatsuki on the forehead of his mask and wore metallic black and grey samurai like armor. He had never seen the man wear anything but armor.

"The boss got soft after the war; he was willing to try to branch out to include more groups… We've never been one to accept help…" Yousuke said, Marmora chuckled with amusement.

"You should know you're not going to get away with this…. You think you have the guts to fight Sakura or Sasuke?" He asked, Yousuke said nothing and left.

Marmora looked at the clones but said nothing, Shin clearly had much bigger plans then just Sasuke.

He couldn't allow him to do something that put the entire world at risk, he wouldn't allow it…

Still, he was too injured and tried to try and fight his way out of the compound alone. he looked at the clones and wondered about his options.

He also wondered what happened with Sakura and the others. He hoped they were alright.

(With Sasuke and Karin)

Sasuke wanted to be mad at Sakura for running off, but he knew that she was having just as much of a hard time as him.

He saw her slid back from a kick before he was forced to dodge Shin uprooting part of the tree and throwing it at him.

He blinked before he rushed forward, Shin caught his blade but blood oozed from the sword.

"I heard stories about you when I was still being grown in a vat… I was supposed to be your replacement if something happened to you… But then you ended up betraying Orochimaru and I was left in the shadows." He muttered before he balanced on the remains of the tree.

"Your another of Orochimaru's experiments?" Sasuke asked, Shin said nothing before he jumped at Sasuke.

He knocked the tree towards Sasuke who rushed forward with a Chidori in his hand.

(With Sakura)

Sakura turned and kicked one of the sons back while the other continued to barrage her with punches and kicks.

She was interrupted by a flaming Shin being tossed to the ground by a fireball from Sasuke.

He brushed off the flames and then he went to rush back into the fight.

"THIS IS FOR MARMORA, YOU BASTARD!" Sakura yelled while cloaking her fist in Charka. Shin turned, he didn't see it coming, too absorbed in killing his hated enemy.

Shin went to block it before her fist slammed him backwards, she felt something break inside of the Uchiha wannabe which threw him into a tree.

Shin screamed as he felt that his ribs and possibly 1 or 2 of his organs was crushed by the hit. He looked at Sakura who advanced on him, murder in her green eyes before he touched the tree again, leaving a symbol on it.

"I see I underestimated you… Well, I suppose if you want to see your friend." He said before he turned and launched the tree which split into shards at Sasuke and Karin.

He grabbed Sakura while Sasuke rushed at him with a Chidori. He pushed her out of the way before one of his clones leapt off his shoulder.

Sasuke's Chidori pierced through the clone, Shin grabbed Sakura as his other clone reached them along with the 2 elite soldiers. Shin looked at the injured man with disgust.

"We will meet again, Sasuke…." He hissed before he activated his Sharingan and teleported his troops and Sakura away.

Sasuke looked at Karin who started tracking both Marmora and Sakura. Shin had entirely overlooked her, probably not expecting her to contribute anything.

She would gladly punch him in the face before she helped save Marmora and Sakura.

(With Sakura)

Marmora didn't say a single thing after his talk with Yousuke, he heard the sounds of scuffling and chuckled.

"What's the matter, your little science experiments having an argument with dad?" He asked, he got a kick to the ribs before he heard a voice over a speaker.

"Yousuke, come here. We have a new guest…. The Uchiha will arrive within a few hours… I'm going for surgery." He stated before he cut off the speaker.

Marmora frowned before Yosuke and his clone guards left. He looked at the ceiling and then started focusing on building enough Charka to summon a sea sword.

'I have to get out of here… That walking science project is going to wage war on the entire world if I don't stop him… I need to just get an arm free…' Marmora muttered; he knew he couldn't move his wrists much.

All he would need though is a single cut to his chains. He chuckled under his breath.

He seemed he would be getting his Charka Control training this week.

(With Sakura and Shin)

Sakura was thrown in a cell with a reinforced cell, one that Orochimaru had wanted to store Tsunade in if he had ever captured his comrade.

"She is a lot stronger than I thought she'd be…. Keep her under heavy guard. I wish to see why Marmora's Charka is so unique…" Shin ordered before he left to the surgery he planned. He would be dead within a few hours if his injuries got worse.

"Ugh…." Sakura groaned; she had been hit on the back of the head by the clones when she arrived and then Shin knocked her out with a punch to the chest.

She shook her head and looked around before she cocked her head and looked at her cuffs.

She had also been secured to the wall by Earth Style cuffs. She saw that Shin hadn't taken chances with her.

She guessed this was where Marmora was, she ended up trying to tug her hands free.

Shin should know about her mark, but he seemed to be preoccupied. She cracked her neck and slowly starting to pull her hands free.

He gave her 2 layers of security? He should have given her more, every single enemy she had been around underestimated. She had been around people who saw her as nothing more as a joke.

She wondered how Marmora was doing, he couldn't be far from her. He was probably being an experiment before Shin would dispose of him.

"Marmora… Hang on…" Sakura said before she activated her seal.

She slowly began to crack the earth; she would be free. She would stop Shin… And she would find Marmora.
