Hello readers and welcome to the next chapter of this story. Now I don't have much to say other than the fact that one of the games I have been playing has been eating up a lot of my time seeing as I am a bit addicted to it at the moment. Thankfully I would like to think that I have enough time management to not make this affect anything in my plans. So, this doesn't truly matter for you guys but just felt like saying it.

Chapter 88

=Ino's training area=

"So you really are doing this?" Ino asks with a small frown. For this time instead of coming himself Naruto sent his clone to her training.

"Yup. It should work seeing as we share thoughts with the original and I am here with more than enough chakra to create several clones just in case you pop one or two of them." The naruto clone happily told her but saw the frown on her face stay in place. "…listen the real me can't risk ruining your training or causing trouble. Something that your dad will surely end up doing if he could." Naruto whispered to her quickly glancing over at the man who was glaring daggers at him.

"Heh, scared of an old man? Oh how the mighty have fallen." Ino tells Naruto teasingly but had a clear blush on her face. For when her father saw her in the morning he had a talk with her that was just as awkward as it was embarrassing….and her mother didn't help at all congratulating her and asking about how she felt. Needless to say for once the gossiping kunoichi wished for nothing else but to keep secrets as buried as they possibly could be. But at this time the focus wasn't at her.

"I'm not scared…I just don't want to deal with the wrath of a crazy father." Naruto told her with a frown.

*cough cough* "Ok I think that is quite enough chit chatting for now. Let's get started. Today's lesson is going to deviate from the plan just a little bit. For I think it is the perfect time for you to learn just how to pull information from one's mind when needed in interrogations." Inoichi tells her with a cold look making Naruto gulp.

"O-okay" the Naruto clone muttered creating a clone that reluctantly sat in a provided chair. "Man real me I hope you have a plan to block these memories at least a little bit…something tells me the memories of me and the others are gonna be anything but pleasant." Naruto's clone though pushing away the desire to flee from the facility. He just hoped Ino knows just how much she meant to him that he was willing to go through pain for her benefit.

(AN: just to make it clear yet again. There should NOT be suffering caused for your relationships in normal healthy relationships. (ya know other than having to give blood, help with therapy, ect.)

_Orochimaru_

Orochimaru was leaning back in his chair simply thinking. For Kabuto just informed him that the villages were finally planning to do something. But rather attack separately like he expected they apparently were going to be meeting together to figure out a plan that involves all of them. Something that was outside of his expectations but in his mind would not cause any true damage to his plans.

"kukuku so those fools figured out that my plans are a lot bigger than any one of their pathetic mines could piece together by themselves. Well this won't stop my plans…if anything it just makes it so I don't have to waste as much time before I set up this world in the way it should be…. though I suppose I should greet them properly seeing as the meeting is all about me afteall." Orochimaru thought happily. He then looked to see his throne room's door open up briefly to show Kabuto.

"Orochimaru-sama" Kabuto muttered giving a small bow to his master.

"Kabuto-kun." Orochimaru muttered acknowledging the young man in front of him.

"My lord my project has gone next to perfectly. With your permission I would like to bring it to the next phase." Kabuto tells Orchimaru with a smirk peaking the snake's attention.

"Oh well let's see what has become of your newest idea." Orochimaru told him getting up from his throne and began to follow Kabuto to his own lab.

"So, a while back you showed me your Uchiha plan. But I have managed to make it not only more secure but have improved the product." Kabuto tells his master then pressed a button on a control panel opening up the metal shroud that was around a large tube. Inside said tube was a fully grown adult wearing nothing but a mask on his face that covered only his mouth. "Meet the improved tube growth program. Not only can we create any living being from mixing the semen and eggs in our canisters. But I have also perfected the levels of chemicals that allow advanced growth without causing terminal damage to the subject." Kabuto explains with a cocky smile.

"Subject 24 here was only born ten days ago and already is medically a 20-year-old man. And of course, all of his organs appear to have normal levels and functionality." Kabuto explains as Orochimaru takes a closer look at the tube.

"And this man will live without the supplement support?" Orochimaru asked looking closely at the man. Course instead of answering him Kabuto pressed a few more buttons on his panel and the room was filled with a light siren sound as the fluid slowly drained from the tube.

"As we wait I would also like to mention that it seems possible to both artificially inseminate and transfer a fertilized embryo into a healthy woman. In the cases I have attempted all women have been found to be properly going through the progress of pregnancy. Though of course none of the woman have given birth yet seeing as I did not do anything to speed up the process due to the risk of possibly contaminating the experiment." Kabuto explains as the tube slowly drained until there was nothing left in it other than a puddle at the bottom and a man leaning on the glass. Kabuto then opened the tube and gently removed the mask from the man before lifting him out of the chamber and placed him on the floor.

"Please just wait the few minutes it takes for the anesthetic to wear off." Kabuto tells him and then they both stood in silence looking down at the figure before them. A few minutes later the man stirred and quickly tried to stand up only to fall back over. He then looked at the two figures looming over him and began to cry. Course both ignored this and Kabuto quickly went over to him and scanned his entire body.

"Hmm it seems my machine can increase the growth rate while keeping the body healthy. The only issue is that the specimen in question still only has the brain processing power of an infant even though it is already matured…I am not sure if forcing memories into his brain would be successful or if they would simply need training…" Kabuto mutters frowning a bit before turning to Orochimaur.

"Well it seems to still have issues with the brain but if you were going to be taking over at least that part does not matter." Kabuto tells him with a small shrug.

"kukuku. It seems you are getting close to creating an easily grown army but still have some flaws." Orochimaru tells him then moves to terminate the now free subject only for Kabuto to stop him.

"Let me keep this specimen until we can determine if it is actually possible to learn or if they are forced to keep their stunted mentality after the process is complete." Kabuto explains then calls in a random staff into the room.
"keep this man safe and contained….don't give him any chance to hurt himself and keep him properly taken care of…if he dies without my consent then whoever let him do so goes with him. " Kabuto threatened the man who nervously saluted his superior before dragging the man out of the room as gently as they could.

"kukuku well with this at the level it is right now I think it's finally time to call in my body upgrade." Orochimaru tells kabuto simply making him surprised.

"Do you really think it is ok to do so? There still are some clear errors and several things could go wrong." Kabuto asks.

"It is fine. The child that I have hidden is still save and healthy not to mention with your new developments in this study we will have no issue growing my future bodies. Now let the word get out that I am alive and staying in this base. Kukuku I imagine we will have Sasuke here within a month." Orochimaru told him.

"…understood. I will have him subdued and brought before you as soon as he arrives." Kabuto tells him after a moment.

"No let him come to my room. Just have the array set up in there ready for activation. Sasuke-chan does have decent ability to fight but otherwise he relies on his clan's abilities." Orochimaru explains. In his mind while Sasuke had a decent amount of fighting ability he has almost completely relied on his eyes throughout his training. And that is something that he couldn't see changing even after he went off on his own.

"…if that is what you wish." Kabuto mutters.

"Oh? You don't think this is a wise decision?" Orochimaru asks curiously.

"No. I think it is a sound plan as always Orochimaur-sama. I just don't know if the Uchiha will be dumb enough to fall for such a trap when it took us ages to publicly announce you were actually alive.

"Kukuku you are thinking about it too much Kabuto-kun. Sasuke's pride will surely blind him to the possibilities. After all even while I trained him in all the arts of a shinobi he focused only on a few of them and never showed any desire to use them. I mean I wasn't a worthless teacher that didn't really teach my student anything. And I for sure didn't tell him to stick to only a few jutsu even though he knows many of them like he was trying to save someone money on animation or something." Orochimaru explained.

(AN: yes this is a slight dig at the fact that they had Naruto be taught basically nothing over his training. Not to mention both him AND Sasuke really didn't have that man moves they used besides variations of their go to ones…personally find this annoying though I am sure it did save them money to do)

"As you wish Orochimaru-sama" Kabuto told him leaving the room even though he was still a bit confused. After all he wasn't required to know all that his master planned. "I still don't understand but now that I think about it Sasuke didn't even question how all these bases stayed in function even with their main boss supposedly gone. I suppose he truly does ignore things that he doesn't deem important….oh well it will be his mistake not ours." Kabuto thinks while walking down the hall.

~Sound base far away from Orochimaru~

Sasuke currently was sitting calmly in the bases throne room simply staring at the wall. Or he was until Suigetsu opened the door and walked right on in not bothering to present himself at all. Course this time he brought the rest of the team and a small and very scared researcher with him.

"Come on tell him." Suigetsu ordered the small man pushing him into the center of the room.

"W-well Sasuke-sama we have just received a report that Lord Orochimaru is currently stocking up his main base to be ready for the war to come." The man told him simply.

"Oh and how is that possible…I ended him with my own hands." Sasuke told the man.

"I-I I am just the messenger Uchiha-sama I-I don't know…I promise!" the man told him fearfully.

"Tsk, and where did this message come from exactly." Karin asked clearly annoyed. Afterall she never trusted anyone other than Sasuke to actually be competent.

"O-one of our hawks came back with a note from what use to be the main base in the sound village." The man told them still nervous. For all of team Taka was well known to be be crazy and unpredictable.

"The main base! Bah that base had to be overrun by whatever smuck decided to claim they are the kage after Orochimaru died. They are probably just telling the other bases this so that they stay under the sounds base out of fear." Karin grumbles.

"Tsk, as much as I hate to agree with a know it all…for once you are probably right. People don't just come back from the dead." Suigetsu says with his arms lazily behind his head.

"Know it all….Just because you are a stupid fool that hardly knows the basic language doesn't mean that anyone smarter than you is some horrible nerb!" Karin yells at Suigetsu who smiles at her.

"I am not saying they are. I am only saying YOU are." He tells her making her red with rage.

"Why you-" She begins to yell only to be interrupted.

"Silence." Sasuke called out from his chair making the rest of his team look at him.

"If there is a chance of that snake still being alive then we must see it for ourselves. If he is then I will simply kill him again and make sure he stays dead this time. But if he isn't…well then it will truly be time for the sound to realize just who controls things around here." Sasuke tells the group standing up from the chair. For while he didn't truly care about any of the sounds resources or land. He just wanted to have people that could take care of the annoying stuff such as getting necessities that he used. Not to mention he often used some of the subjects and slaves for his own training. "Get ready. We will leave at daylight." Sasuke tells the group and then quietly leaves the room.

"Right" Jugo calmly states and wanders out of the room himself soon after. Meanwhile Suigetsu and Karin shared one last hateful glare before leaving themselves. Meanwhile the messenger stood still until they all left before letting out a sigh of relief.

+Next morning+

Just as Sasuke ordered his team they were all ready to leave just as the day started. So, with hardly a word being spoken they all began the trek back to the sound village. Thankfully due to keeping a rather quick pace it only took them a few days before they saw the familiar village come into view.

"Tch I haven't seen what this place actually looks like in ages…things really don't ever change do they." Suigetsu grumbled remembering being placed in his test tube which might as well have been a jail cell.

"Fool of course they haven't! Why would a ninja village waste time trying to become flashy or MORE visible to the rest of the world? And the researchers were probably all far too busy with their own little projects to do anything." Karin told him seeing as she often had to force the researchers she controlled to actually do the work they wanted instead of personal projects.

"It is nice to see that the nature around here isn't horribly ruined." Jugo mutters looking around at the scenery. Still Sasuke ignored this all and instead continued his way until he reached the gate. When he did a man stopped him and quickly glanced the group over.

"You must be Sasuke right?" the guard asked rather uncaringly.

"That is Sasuke-sama to you! He took over everything ages ago you idiot." Karin growled out.

"Tsk whatever woman. I don't really care what you think. All I am doing is following orders." The guard told her annoyed. "And that order is just to bring that guy to Orochimaru-sama as soon as he arrived." He added pointing at Sasuke.

"So the bastard still is kicking huh?" Suigetsu mutters only to be ignored.

"Anyways let's go…and I guess your group can follow as well. I don't really give a shit." The man told them waving off the rest of the group. Something that made them glare at the man but Jugo stopped Suigetsu as he reached for his sword.

"Sasuke-sama's goal will be finished easier if we let this man show us where Orochimaru is. At least wait until then." Jugo tells him seriously making the water man stop for the moment.

The group then followed the guard as he walked through the village while looking around at the area the whole time.

"This place has certainly gotten more run down since I've last been here. Who let the ninja actually form what looks to be almost gangs rather than being one group?" Karin grumbled disapprovingly. For all around the village there were groups of various sizes that seemed to glare at the other groups they came close to. Sometimes there was even scuffles that would start from said meetings.

"Lady that is just how the sound is now. Most of us ninja live off the saying 'the strong will prosper; the weak will wither' meaning that you gotta have power here if you wanna live a decent life. Course the big wigs know about this and really don't care. They just are happy as long as the battle power we have stays the same or increases. So, as long as not too many of us die nothing will be said. The only real rule here is to leave the egg heads alone in the research facility…but even then if it doesn't hurt the actual village's projects no one cries if a few go missing." The guard explains waving off her statement.

"Sounds like my kind of place." Suigetsu states happily looking forward to showing these people just who the boss is.

"…this place makes the urge increase….so much blood is in the air" Jugo mutters feeling his bloodlust increase as he smelt blood all through the village.

"…Jugo remember who your boss is." Sasuke muttered sending the larger man a firm look out of the corner of his eye. A motion that while minor seemed to make the man rein in some of his bloodlust. Thankfully before anything could happen they found themselves entering the research base that made up a large portion of the village. As they did, they noticed a drastic change in the atmosphere. For while the area was by no means perfect it was taken care of a lot better. Not to mention the bloodlust that was felt outside the building was almost nonexistent in the building with the only people they saw far to busy with random things to pay them any mind.

"We are almost there. For some reason the boss likes having his lair around these egg heads…this building always seems far too nerdy for me to stand though." The guard told them glaring at a random researcher. "No care at all for gaining true power instead just feeding off what we give them like leeches." The guard tells bitterly but carried on walking until they went to Orochimaru's throne room.

"This is as far as I go…good luck and don't piss him off." The guard tells them then without bothering to wait for their reaction walked away from the group.

"Well I guess we just gotta go in and see what the hell is going on." Suigetsu says with a shrug opening the door and the group walked into the room. Course they all had various reactions to seeing Orochimaru sitting on his throne with a cocky smirk on his face.

For Karin it was surprise that quickly changed to focused. Jugo looked on uncaringly having already decided to follow Sasuke's lead no matter what. Suigetsu looked on with a hint of fear but mostly rage at the man that kept him in a test tube for ages. And finally, Sasuke was looking at Orochimaru first with surprise but then quickly turned into complete rage.

"Welcome Sasuke-chan and friends. I am so glad that you could make it so soon." Orochimaru tells them with his smirk never leaving his face.

"Tsk, what does it take to keep you dead you damn snake." Sasuke growled out.

"Kukuku now did you expect it to be so easy? You even knew that I was close to achieving my goal of immortality." Orochimaru asks before looking at the rest of the group. "And look at you know. Bringing this rag tag group of finished experiments and study subjects."

"You bastard!" Suigetsu growled out.

"No matter…I will just finish what I already started." Sasuke told Orochimaru only to open his eyes wide out of shock seconds later.

"Kukuku what's wrong Sasuke-chan? Can't seem to get your special eyes to work?" Orochimaru asked amused.

"There is a massive seal that just activated around this room and several people surrounding us as well!" Karin calls out sensing the massive amount of chakra that was being used.

"Jugo get us out of here now!" Sasuke called out at the guy who quickly blasted through a wall only to see a purpleish barrier surrounding them behind it.

"Now now. We wouldn't want you to leave early after we set up such a great party room for you now would we?" Kabuto asked with a sneer from the other side of the barrier. The same barrier that they used against Hiruzen years ago.

"Tsk fucking bastard" Suigetsu growls out refocusing on Orochimaru. Course before he could even think about attacking, he saw Sasuke running at the man with his hand already coated with lighting. Sadly this attack was dodged simply by Orochimaru jumping from his chair. Course he quickly found himself followed by Chidori needles that were just as easily dodged.

"Kukuku come on Sasuke-chan you are just making slight changes to the jutsu that you were taught ages ago. I know you have to know more than just that justu seeing as I taught you. After all only a buffoon would train someone for several years and not show them any new jutsu." Orochimaru tells them with a smirk only to have to jump again to dodge a fire ball. "Still just more of the same Sasuke-chan. You are acting like animators forced you to only use a few moves so they didn't have to spend ages creating actual new animations."

(AN: this will be the end of the third wall breaking commentary…just had to put it seeing as both Sasuke and Naruto are truly what basically ends up being one trick ponies for a good portion of the show. I mean honestly)

Course He wasn't able to stay still for too long seeing as Jugo quickly rushed at him already mutated while Suigetsu swung his blade at him from the other direction. So he quickly jumped up high enough to have both of the attacks miss but saw Sasuke come at him from behind his back with lightening coating his blade. Orochimaru quickly turns around and launches a kick at Sasuke's side fast enough that he couldn't react before the impact slammed him into the wall.

"Tsk, why couldn't I see him? I have faced him loads of time in training and he never was this fast!" Sasuke thought glaring at the smiling man in front of his group.

"As I thought even though I told him to train his eyes without his sharingan he failed to do so…honestly he was easily capable of being S rank but now that his crutch is taken away from him he is low A rank at best" Orochimaru thought rather disappointed that the man who previously was his student ignored his advice so much that he was practically no match to him without his eyes. But he didn't think for long before he quickly sent a wave of snakes at jugo from his mouth. Said man quickly glared at the snakes and crushed them with a heavy blast before they could bite him.

Seeing the opening Sasuke quickly used his max speed to attack and smirked happily when he saw his sword pass straight through Orochimaru's torso. Sadly that quickly changed when a snake launched out from his torso and bit him before he could react. After it bit him the snake quickly retracted and more came out repairing the damage to Orochimaru as if it never happened.

"Sasuke!" Karin called out in concern as she saw him quickly stumble and fall to a knee. Lucky for him though Suigetsu hit him away from Orochimaru with the flat of his blade before swinging at said man.

"You monstrous bastard" Suigetsu growled out with his swing. Meanwhile Karin quickly went to where Sasuke landed and quickly diagnosed a poison in his system and tried to cure him as fast as possible.

"Kukuku coming from a test subject made completely of water." Orochimaru stated amused as he quickly grabs the kubikiribocho with one hand stopping its movement completely.

"Tsk strong bastard." Suigetsu grumbled pushing all the strength into his swing as he could but really wasn't getting anywhere. Sadly, before he could retreat from his failed attack he yelled out in pain as a massive jolt of lightening run through his system "Gah!"

Jugo quickly re-engaged with Orochimaru but this time stayed in close trying to him him with anything he could but was either dodged or had his blow pushed off course no matter what he did until he felt a punch in the stomach that was hard enough to make him cough out some blood and fall to his knees.

"H-how is he so strong…is this truly what an S rank ninja is like" Karin muttered out in shock. For while she finished healing Sasuke she knew that her fighting ability was no where near the rest of the group leaving her only as a healer. So, she got a front row seat to see just how much her team was being overwhelmed even though all but her were somewhere in the B or A rank. "Does having Sasuke's eyes sealed really lower our ability that much…with him normally I felt like we would have a chance at any opponent though." Karin thought with her courage weakening by the second.

"Jugo fall back!" Sasuke ordered now standing in front of Orochimaru. Course he didn't even spare his teammate a glance as Jugo followed his order and moved him and Suigetsu away.

"Tsk you think you are all mighty just because you have gotten lucky so far. But I will show you the true power of an Uchiha!" Sasuke told him and allowed his curse mark to quickly spread across his body as he ran close to Orochimaru. But what he wasn't expecting was for the seal to quickly withdraw itself before he could actually engage the older ninja.

"Kukuku did you really think that I would give out a tool without having at least some control over it?" Orochimaru asks happily with Sasuke now standing right in front of him. "Now you put up a decent fight but how about you surrender before my next body is damaged anymore?" Orochimaru asked before grabbing Sasuke by the shirt. A snake then appeared out form his sleeve and quickly moved across Orochimaru's arm until it was able to bite Sasuke in the neck. After it bit the snake quickly retracted and Orochimaru let go of Sasuke who simply stood there.

For while nothing visibly happened the black-haired man felt his entire body get numb rather quickly and soon enough fell to the ground as the toxin fully took hold of him.

"Don't worry you will be cured…but only when I need my body prepped." Orochimaru told the Uchiha who couldn't even glare at him before turning to the others. "Now then you can either rejoin me like good pawns or I will kill you all here." Orochimaru told them cooly.

"You bastard!" Jugo called out in a rage and quickly lost himself to his mutation's rage and launched himself at Orochimaru. Sadly, for him the direct attack was far from effective as a sword quickly pierced through his chest. Said blade was none other than the sword of Kusanagi. The blade was coming from the mouth of a snake that came out of Orochimaru's mouth but said snake quickly retracted and left the hilt out enough for Orochimaru to grab.

"Sorry Jugo but I have already finished the curse seal study more than enough to remove any use I have for you." Orochimaru told him pretending to be sad but quickly decapitated the man.

"Now what will you pick?" Orochimaru asks uncaringly as the other two quickly froze up under his KI.

"Tsk, as long as I am not sealed up in a fucking tube again and get a chance to gather the seven swordsman's blades I will work under you." Suigetsu grumbles out. After all he hardly felt the desire to die a pointless death…even if he still wanted his revenge.

"Suigetsu!" Karin called out before throwing out a smoke bomb in front of Orochimaru and dragged Sasuke a ways away. "D-don't worry I promise I will get you all cured in just a minute then you can save us Sasuke-sama" Karin stated as she began her jutsu. Sadly she was smacked into a wall hard enough to leave cracks soon after.

"As big of a fan girl as ever huh Karin….but at lest your genes might be of use." Orochimaru mutters looking over at Suigetsu.

"Prove yourself and follow my minion to place her in a jail." Orochimaru ordered and smirked when he saw Suigetsu grab Karin's arms behind her back and made her stand up.

"Suigetsu please! We still can win!" Karin states to the man holding her.

"Stupid women…we've lost. You should only think about how to save your own life now." Suigetsu tells her as he watched the barrier fall. The men that did the barrier then surround Suigetsu and begin a walk to a jail cell that he followed without saying a word.

"Kukuku wonderful!" Orochimaru stated happily when they were finally gone.

"Well I was skeptical but like always your plans work perfectly Orochimaru-sama" Kabuto states walking up to his master.

"Yes. Now prepare for the next step Kabuto-kun" Orochimaru ordered the man who just smirked.

"As you wish." Kabuto states with a small bow then looked at the still paralyzed ninja. "Look on the bright side you will at least be helping start a new world order."

~Konoha; Naruto's apartment~

Haku walked calmly through the house with a small pad of paper in hand as she left the kitchen.
"Hey Haku-chan what'cha up to?" Naruto called out happily when he saw her making the girl jump a little bit.

"Naruto-sama I thought you were training with Ino-san today?" Haku asked quickly recovering herself.

"Yea I was…but let's just say that I got her dad a bit upset with me…so for the next few days it will be a clone's job while I give him some time to cool off." Naruto told her awkwardly. Thankfully though Haku was more than happy to let it drop at the moment and didn't press him for more information.

"…ok then. Well to answer your information I am just about to head out and get us groceries for the week." Haku told him simply.

"Well do you want some help with that? Afterall, I haven't spent time with you in a little while." Naruto asked her.

"Sure, I'd appreciate the help." Haku told him with a small smile.

"Excellent! Just give me one minute to get ready." Naruto told her quickly rushing off making Haku giggle a little bit.

"Naruto-kun may be a goofy guy at times but I am glad that he has changed my life as much as he has." Haku thought happily. After all if he never entered her life then she couldn't imagine all the good times she has had to ever have happened. Although she had to quickly bring herself out of her thoughts as Naruto returned and the duo walked out of the house.

As they walked the couple happily talked about random things until the finally reached the market where loads of people were moving about to get their own items. As they walked down the road Naruto couldn't help watch as Haku interacted with many of the regulars around.

"Hey Haku-san thank's again for healing my boy up. The little tike is already back to his normal crazy self." A shop keep called out to her with a large smile.

"It was no problem Heato-san. I was just doing my job." Haku tells him with a smile.

"Oh hush don't give me that. If you were on the clock you would have been in the hospital and not in the park. Now here take this as a small thank you." The man told her handing her a small container filled with a few fruits.

"You don't need to do that." Haku started only for him to wave her off.

"I did it because I wanted to. Now go on and enjoy your little date." He told her with a smile then chuckled as he saw the two of them blush but walk away from the man.

"H-Haku-chan welcome how can I help you?" A little girl called out shyly when they came up to her with her mother right behind her.

"Hello Teri-san can I get two sacks of rice please?" Haku asked the girl who nodded and grabbed the sacks.

"Here you go and now that will be…um…14 ryo?" the girl asked looking over at her mother who nodded. She then smiled happily that she got her math right.

"Heh good job Teri-san you are getting better every time I see you." Haku tells the girl who seemed to smile even wider.

"Thank you." The little girl called out happily as they continued their walk.

"Heh it seems that you are pretty popular huh Haku-chan?" Naruto asks with a wide smile.

"Yes I do have a few acquaintances in the village now. And that is all thanks to you Naruto-sama." Haku states

"Ap Ap Ap." Naruto mutters waving his finger in front of her face. "I have NEVER been close or really talked to these people. You having all these friends and people to enjoy time with is all thanks to YOU and YOUR hard work." Naruto corrected her.
"I-"

"Nope" Naruto stated confusing her.

"What?" she asked

"I refuse to take any excuses you make up. Your life is better because you worked hard to make it into something great. Don't ever deny yourself of the rewards your work has given you. All I did was give you the chance." Naruto told her giving a one-armed hug. "Be proud of yourself Haku-chan because I sure am." Naruto told her making her blush yet again.

"I-I…" Haku started feeling flustered before finally giving up. "Thank you Naruto-kun." She simply told him with a smile giving him a kiss on the cheek. "You have given me the life I never knew I wished for." She stated happily.

"Aww, it was nothing. I mean the boyfriend is supposed to make their girlfriends as happy as they can." Naurto told her blushing a bit himself.

"Oh really?" She asked getting a nod in return. So, she leaned into him until her mouth was next to his ear. "Well what I really would love is help passing on my bloodline…maybe you can help me with that when we get home?" She asked him with a sultry smile before breaking free from his hug and continued to walk. Meanwhile Naruto stood in place confused for a minute before he finally got what she meant and found himself heavily blushing as he tried to catch up to her. Meanwhile behind them was the little girl and mother that they just recently went away from.

"Mommy why did their faces go all red when they were just talking?" the little girl asked confused.

"Ahh that is what happens during young love. It means they are happy." Her mother told her with a knowing smile.

"Oh? Well I am happy that Haku nii-chan is happy." The girl states.

"Me to hun, me to." Her mother stated watching the couple walk away.

And that is where I am gonna end this. Now I am sure several people are gonna be pissed but honestly you should have seen that this story was focusing on having Orochimaru's stuff going a lot different than cannon. Also with Orochimaru beating down team Taka…well just look at the examples that the anime gave us. For Orochimaru could stand up to a formed 4 tails of Naruto without too much fear (though he did have some troubles). So it is reasonable to state that a S class ninja can hold at least an ok fight with a jinchuriki. Now look at Sasuke's fight which yes was with a fully formed 8 tails but his cockiness and skill level hardly let him get anywhere with Killer B until he used ameratsu…and even then he got tricked. Course this also means that I don't truly think Naruto is S class either seeing as they are pretty even….they both don't really become S until they get their boosts be it demon or bloodline. Not to mention in my eyes Orochimaru is one of the top tier S classes even though I hate the guy. I mean each time he is beaten it is his cockiness that leads to it or the 'cheaty' bloodline…which in this case was neutralized. Anyways I hope you aren't too mad with me Ja Ne.
