Chapter 10: Savin' Me
As they approach Orochimaru's lair, they find out that there are no traps or misleading ways to find Serina and Akito. Itachi and Sasuke step in front as Sakura and Kabuto walk in the back. Orochimaru's lair was like a cave. Blood filled the air and the ground and walls felt moist. Water dripped and little chirps could be heard. Sakura started shivering alittle with fear but tried to calm herself down. Each step they took, the cave got a little lighter thanks to fire torches.
After ten minutes, they reached a giant door that had a steel lock on it. Sasuke decided that they should think of a plan before they enter through the door. Sakura agrreed on that, so she devised a plan.
"Okay, Itachi and Kabuto, find Orochimaru, while Sasuke and I find Serina and Akito. As soon as Sasuke and I find them, we will join you guys in kicking Orochimaru's ass. And don't use the scrolls yet until i say so. Kabuto, you better be on our side or you'll soon join your ex-master." Everyone nodded and Kabuto shakily nodded.
"Sasuke, help me break down this door." Itachi said. He stood in front the door along with Sasuke. Together, they kicked the door down and the four quickly ran into a large room. Alarms started to go off and the four scattered into their two groups. Itachi and Kabuto went right while Sasuke and Sakura went left.
Kabuto and Itachi
They ran through the right path searching for any sign of a door. Itachi was faster than Kabuto so up ahead he saw a tan door. Their path was flashing the color red. Itachi turned back and yelled to Kabuto.
"Speed up!" Itachi had sensed someone else's chakra nearby and being as this is the hidden sound village, their ninjas move at the speed of sound. Kabuto nodded and ran faster but Itachi slowed down a little so he could catch up with him.
"Kabuto, what's behind this do-" Itachi didn't finished becuase right in front of the door were three sound nins. Each crossed their arms and smirked.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" A nin spoke.
"It seems to be a Konoha nin, and a traitor." Another nin spoke, referring to Kabuto as the traitor. Itachi was pissed at the three ninjas and so was Kabuto.
"Kabuto, lets finish these idiots and be on our way." Itachi said and Kabuto nodded. All five ninjas pulled out either a kunai or katana.
"Let's begin."
Itachi pulled out his kantana and Kabuto pulled out two kunais. Itachi charged at the silent nin and drives the kantan forward. The nin moves and Itachi stabs the door instead. The nin is behind Itachi and Itachi smirks. "Kabuto now." Kabuto throw both kunais, striking the clueless nin in his back. He falls dead on the ground.
Itachi pulls out his kantana from the door and quickly slices another nin. He nods for Kabuto to finish the last of the nins. Kabuto charged at the nin with blue chakra in his hands. The nin took out a kunai and smirked. Kabuto disappeared in front of the nin's eyes and reappered in back of him. Kabuto pokes the nin's back, left arm, and nape. The nin falls dead.
Itachi looks curiously at Kabuto. "How'd you do that?" Kabuto shrugged and Itachi decided to drop the question.
Slowly, Itachi opens the door to find...
Sasuke and Sakura
They ran through the left hall, thrying to find the right cell of Serina and Akito. So far, the only thing they found in the cells were bones and rotting corpses. This hall had flashing yellow lights. Sasuke seemed to be fine with it but Sakura thought that it meant something else.
As she thought, a giant snake was at the end of the hall, where Serina and Akito's cell was.
"DAMN!" Sasuke and Sakura said. Sasuke stood in front of Sakura as the snake started to slowly approach them. Sasuke quickly said, "Sakura, go find Itachi and stay with him. I'll handle the snake and get Serina and Akito." Sakura gave him a worried look. "Go! I'll be fine, I promise!" Sakura nodded. She kissed his cheek and ran the opposite direction.
Sasuke took out three kunai, he placed one in each hand and one in his mouth. 'This should be easy.' He thought. As he ran towards the snake, it hisses at him and attempts to bite Sasuke. Sasuke dogdes the attack and starts slicing the snake little by little. As he kills the snake, and walks towards the cell, Sasuke notices that Serina and Akito are unconsious.
"Oh shit..." Sasuke said and ran into their cell.
Sakura
She ran and ran towards Itachi's direction but only to be trapped. In front of Sakura stood her sister's capturer, Orochimaru. She wanted to scream but her voice would not let her. Sakura had the look of fear in her emerald eyes. She backed away slower but Orochimaru smirked and took steps towards her. She wanted to turn around and run towards Sasuke but she couldn't find a the left path entrance. Orochimaru seemed to have closed off that door.
Sakura's heart was beating faster and harder as Orochimaru stoof a foot away from her. He licked his lips and Sakura shook with fear. She never felt this type of emotion ever. Finally, building up enough courage, she asked Orochimaru a question.
"W-what d-d-o you w-want?" She stuttered out. Sakura hugged herself as Orochimaru hissed.
"Sakura, is it not clear of what i want yet?" Orochimaru began to stroke Sakura's left cheek and she shook her head and slapped his hand away. Orochimaru looked questionly at Sakura.
"Don't ever touch me!" Sakura yelled and took out one of her scrolls. It was Sakuras of Death. She remerbered what Tsuande explained about the jutsu so she had to be careful when summoning her Sakura petal. She did the hand seals and Orochimaru smirked. He underestimated Sakura too much.
"Sakuras Of Death!" She yelled. She summoned only five sakura petals. With her chakra, she was able to move each petal and aim for Orochimaru. She sent one petal speedily towards Orochimaru's right hand. He smirked a bit and put a fist out to block the attack. As the petal soon hit his fist, it exploded and blood trickled down his knuckles. Sakura looked baffled. He hand was suppose to explode, not just bleed a little!
"Whats the matter Sakura? Have you forgotton that I'm three times stronger than I once used to be, or are you just going easy on me becuase secretly you want me to live?" Orochimaru's smirk grew wider. Sakura looked at Orochimaru and looked at the four remaining sakura petals. She didn't know what to do. This was too much for her too handle! She decided to not give up and she flung the rest of the petals towards Orochimaru. A loud explosion was heard seeing as Orochimaru did not expect her to fling the petals.
Smoke and dust filled the air and Sakura no longer saw Orochimaru. She thought that he collapsed or something but unfortunatly, Orochimaru was right behind her! She felt a hand snake around her waist. Sakura wanted to turn around quickly but beore she could, she was hit in the back of her neck. Sakura fell unconcious into Orochimaru's arms. He grinned evily. 'What a way to have fun.' He thought. And with that, he disappeared with Sakura still in his arms.
Kabuto and Itachi
Itachi had opened the door to find an empty room... Kabuto scratched his head in disbelief and Itachi got pissed off once again.
"Damn it!" Itachi yelled. He and Kabuto looked around the room, them Kabuto realized something. "Itachi-san, what if this is some type of genjutsu?" Itachi looked at Kabuto. He decided to ponder this thought.
After a moment, Itachi tryed to dispell the jutsu. "Kai!" He said. His dispell had used up some of Itachi's chakra since the genjutsu ws at such a high level. It turns out that the room was really just amaster bedroom. Nothing out of the oridnary here.
"Odd, why would Orochimaru disguise this room and make us think that it was his throne room?" Kabuto said. Itachi slapped a hand on his forehead protector.
"How could I be so stupid! He was playing with us all along!" Itachi said as he ran out of that room as Kabuto quickly followed. "Orochimaru wanted us to depart from Sasuke and Sakura all along!" Kabuto nodded and tried to catch up with Itachi's speed.
They ran and finally found Sasuke, but no Sakura.
"Sasuke!" Itachi said. Sasuke turned around from facing Serina and Akito and looked at the voice calling him. Itachi didn't see Serina or the baby since Sasuke was blocking them. "Itachi! What are you guys doing here? Where's SAKURA!" Sasuke shouted, not knowing where his fiancee was. Kabuto and Itachi looked at each other and then back at Sasuke.
"She isn't with us..." Kabuto said softly.
"WHAT!" Sasuke screamed. He got up off the ground and headed towards Itachi. "Well, I found your wife and child, but now my future wife is missing!" Sasuke said, slightly calmed down a bit. Itachi ran over to his family and hugged Serina and Akito. But, they were not awake.
"What's wrong with them!" Itachi said.
"They are unconsious Itachi-san." Kabuto muttered. Itachi whispered Serina's name into her ear and he sang a soft yet short tune into Akito's ear. Serina immeadiatly woke up and Akito started to cry.
Serina took a quick look at her surroundings and then saw her husband and heard the crying of their child. "Itachi!" She threw her arms around him and kissed his cheek. Itachi in turn hugged her back. "I missed you." They both said as they parted. Serina picked up the crying Akito and rocked him back and forth until he slowly stopped his wails.
"Um, I'm sorry to break up your reunion, but my fiancee is missing, and we really need to GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE AND FIND HER!" Sasuke yelled. Everyone seemed to have gasped by his outburst but quickly returned to themselves and started to think up of another plan.
"Okay, so this is what we're gunna do. Serina, you will not partake in this fight mainly because you have to watch Akito. Kabuto, you will also not fight, but help heal us and protect Serina and Akito. Itachi, Sakura, when we find her, and I will fight Orochimaru, got it?" Sasuke said. Everyone nodded and they left in a group. Serina walked near Itachi and whispered, "Why is Kabuto here?" "It's a long story, but i think we can trust him, for now..." Itachi whispered back.
The group now started too run as they saw up ahead a large red door. This was the door defintly the one that would lead them to Sakura and Orochimaru.
Orochimaru and Sakura...
Sakura was still unconcious and could pull off being dead right now, but she isn't. Orochimaru had cuffed her wrists and ankles to a metal circle that stood on the ground. Sakura's head was dangeling as she stirred a bit but didn't wake up. Orochimaru smirked at his luck and now waited for the others to soon join him.
BURST!
Through the red doors came in Sasuke, Itachi, Serina, Akito, and Kabuto. Orochimaru was found standing by Sakura, but he was licking her face with his snake like toung. Sasuke felt anger run threw his body and he ran towards Orochimaru and pushed him out of the way while saying, "Get away from her!" Orochimaru smirked once more as Sasuke caressed Sakura's pale cheek. She started to stir once again. Orochimaru walked up to Sasuke and kicked him right in the gut, sending Sasuke crashing into the walls.
Blood dripped from Sasuke's mouth as he held his stomach in pain. Itachi was burning with anger, and he ran towards Orochimaru. Orochimaru was to bust snickering to notice that Itachi was running towards him. Itachi managed to hit Orochimaru on his right cheek. He fell on the ground while holding a now swollen cheek.
Kabuto rushed over to Sasuke to heal his stomach. Serina held her son close to herself and stood next to the door. Once Kabuto was done healing Sasuke's stomach, he stood back up and wiped the trickle of blood away. Sasuke ran next to his brother and they both stood in a fighting stance as Orochimaru slowly got up.
"So I face the Sharingan Masters once more eh? Kukuku, this should be interesting." Orochimaru stated and smirked. He too got into a fighting stance and waited for them to make the first attack.
Quietly, Kabuto went to help Sakura out by cutting the metal chains on her wrists and ankles. Sakura was awoken by now and jumped down once the chains were cut. She quietly thanked Kabuto and ran over to help Itachi and Sasuke.
"Itachi, Sasuke!" Sakura said as she ran up o them. The three men turned their heads to face her. Sakura ran beside Sasuke and also got into her fighting stance. Orochimaru looked at all three of them.
"Aww, three against one isn't fair!" Orochimaru pretended to whine.
"Shut the hell up and let's fight already!" Sasuke muttered. Orochimaru smirked and disappeared in an instant. Itachi, Sasuke and Sakura's eyes started to quickly search the place for Orochimaru. But, in a matter or seconds, he was behind Sakura. Orochimaru wrapped his arms around her waist as she screamed and tried to get himoff of her. He slide his hands up and down her body and whispered something into her ear. Sasuke took action by pulling Orochimaru's long hair really hard until his head leaned back and Itachi punched him square in the face.
Sakura was shaking slighty until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She saw it was Sasuke's hand.
"What did he say to you?" Sasuke asked.
"He said...that if w-we fail...h-he would keep only m-me alive... s-so he could...r-rape...me..." She whispered. Sasuke widened his eyes and grew even more furious. Orochimaru was just asking to get his ass kicked today, wasn't he.
"It's okay, because he won't get you." Itachi reassured her. She nodded and the three ninjas got back into their fighting stances as Orochimaru got back up.
"So you three got game?" Orochimaru said. "Well, you should be sorry that you ever messed with me, because I haven't even showed my true strength yet!" He said once more. Orochimaru decided to charge at Sasuke. Sakura took out two needles and tried to pinpoint the exact location of where she she hit him. She decided to hit his abdomen and right arm.
Orochimaru was hit in both spots by Sakura and he winced a little. Instead of running for Sasuke, he ran towards Sakura instead. Sakura got into her fighting stance and quietly, Itachi was forming hand signs. He was going to use his new teqnique, Empty Darkness. Itachi stood in front of Sakura and drove his chakra infested right hand into Orochimaru's chest. Itachi was going to pull out Orochimaru's soul.
Orochimaru smirked. "Is that the best that you can do Itachi? I expected better from you." He said. Itachi smirked as an answer. He activated his Mangekyou Sharingan to distract Orochimaru so he wouldn't notice that Itachi was pulling out his soul. It's like a two way death trip. Orochimaru looked into Itachi's eyes but wasn't effected by the mangekyou at all. He knew Itachi was planning to pull out his soul, and boy did Orochimaru have a surprise for him.
As Itachi searched for Orochimaru's soul, he didn't seem to find it. Orochimaru's smirk grew wider as Itachi deactivated the mangekyou but kept the Sharingan on. Itachi looked curiously at Orochimaru.
"What's wrong Itachi? Can't seem to find my soul?" Orochimaru hissed. Then Itachi realized something. "You have no soul, do you?" Itachi said. He pulled his hand out of Orochimaru's chest and just as his hand came out, Orochimaru grabbed it and broke his wrist. Itachi yelled in pain but soon dropped down to his knees because Orochimaru wouldn't let go.
Sasuke ran towards them and grabbed Orochimaru's hand off of his brother's. Sasuke quickly nodded towards Sakura. She nodded back and ran behind Orochimaru. He saw her run behind him and tried to elbow her but missed. Sakura managed to take a kunai and peirce it into Orochimaru's right arm. Eactly where the needle was. Orochimaru winced again in pain but composed himself back. Sakura ran back to Itachi and helped him up. She walked with him over to Kabuto so he could heal Itachi's wrist. Sakura couldn't do it becuase she couldn't waste her chakra.
Sasuke took a few steps away from Orochimaru and Orochimaru decided to summon his sword, the Kusanagi. He opened his mouth very wide and out came the sword. It's blue blade sparked and Sasuke also decided that it was time to use his summoning sword. Devil's Sword. Sasyke performed the hand seals and in his right hand came the sword. It slowed flames coming from the blade. Orochimaru and Sasuke charged at each other with both of the swords in hand. Both swords clashed.
Orochimaru and Sasuke tried to hold their own strength but it seems that Orochimaru was stronger. Sasuke kept bending back, trying to hold onto his sword so he wouldn't get sliced by the snake. Sasuke knew that Orochimaru was three times stronger, but he couldn't be a coward and not face him. Sasuke turned his head to look at Sakura, then Itachi, and then Serina and Akito. He looked back at Orochimaru and slowly started to rise again and saw Orochimaru's shiocked expression. Sasuke smirked and the two broke apart from the colliding swords.
They swung swords again and again. Sasuke managed to cut Orochimaru's left shoulder blade, and slice a bit of his neck. Orochimaru managed to get Sasuke on the shoulder too and on his stomach side. Sasuke was panting while Orochimaru just smirked at him.
"You'll...never...win..." Sasuke said in between pants. Orochimaru forwarded towards Sasuke. "Oh Really? Who's going to stop me?" "...ME!" Sasuke yelled and caught Orochimaru off guard by slashing his stomach. Orochimaru was mad now and so was Sasuke. Both off them collided swords once more and Sasuke added more and more chakra into his sword to make it more powerful.
Orochimaru was the one bending back this time and Sasuke saw the his sword was breaking Orochimaru's Kusanagi. Orochimaru didn't notice becuase he also tried to put chakra into his sword to fight back against Sasuke's but something wasn't allowing him to use chakra. Sasuke smirked and knew why Orochimaru wasn't using chakra. Sakura and Kabuto had closed off Orochimaru's chakra holes with their medical skills when he wasn't looking.
"Now who's winning!" Sasuke yelled and broke through the Kusanagi. Sasuke stepped back and Orochimaru stood up. Kabuto and Sakura were smiling as Itachi was smirking. Serina cheered them on as she held Akito close to herself.
Orochimaru looked around the room and started to feel a little pressured and that didn't nomally happen. "So i can't use my chakra eh? Well, i guess I'll just have to revert to taijutsu unless i find the chakra source for closing me off." He shot a glance towards Sakura and Kabuto. He grabbed Sakura and held her hands behind her back. It happened so fast that no one saw it. Sasuke glared harder at Orochimaru.
"Let her go if you know what's good for yourself!" Sasuke yelled. Orochimaru pretended not to listen and licked Skaura's neck. Sakura was wriggling around and grew very angry as well. Itachi ran next to Sasuke and took out one of his kantanas. Sasuke held his sword close to him as well. One more move from Orochimaru and the brothers would attack him.
Orochimaru turned Sakura around and was about to forcefully kiss her but he was punched into the jaw by and fist. It was Sakura's fist. Her bloodline was activated and Sakura's eyes were silver. She had tripled strength so it rivaled with Orochimaru. But what everyone didn't notice was that Sakura had performed the handseals to Dance of the Angels. Her white wings formed onto her back nad Sakura felt another spirit taking over her.
The others watched intenetly and Serina mouthed a name. "Saiyan..." Saiyan was Sakura's celestial maiden. Sakura was furious and started to walk towards Orochimaru. He looked calm but actually he panicked on the inside a little! Orochimaru had no chakra and all he had were kunais and shurikens. He did what any person would, he started throwing them but a chakra shield protected Sakura and the kunais drop on the floor. Sakura achtuaaly stepped on a kunai and crushed it into peices. She got rid of the shield and started doing the angel dance.
Each kunai throw was caught by Sakura who danced angelicly. She threw it back to Orochimaru expertly but she put her celestial chakra into it so it hurt even more than a normal kunai.
"Ah! Damn bitch!" Orochimaru cursed. Sakura rose off the floor with her wings and started to form a large ball of chakra. To Sasuke and Itachi it looked more powerful than chidori or anything that they had ever seen. They had run back to Serina and Akito with Kabuto for safety.
Sakura dove down fast with her wings and the chakra ball. With all her power, she peirced Orochimaru's heart and he oozed out blood. Itachi hugged Serina and Akito from the explosion as Sasuke and Kabuto protected them selves. He yelled and coughed like crazy before Sakura took her hand out and deactivated her bloodline. Some blood was on her face and clothes but she didn't care.
"Too...bad...it...ended..cough...this way..." Orochimaru whispered and died, for real this time! Sakura felt dizzy and fainted and chakra loss. Sasuke ran and caught her in time. He smiled at her and kissed on forehead.
"He's finally gone..." Kabuto said. They smiled and Sasuke picked Sakura up.
Later that Day
It was decided that Kabuto would be in charge of the Sound Village and it people. He turned out to be telling the truth and was trusted by the others. As Sasuke, Itachi, and Serina bid Kabuto a goodbye, they ventured back home to Konoha. Sakura was still unconcious and Sasuke carried her as Serina carried Akito and Itachi put arm arm around her shoulder.
Yes, they finally beat Orochimaru, but the story doesn't end here, because, WE STILL HAVE A WEDDING TO SHOW!
