Chapter 104: Doctor of Doom
No matter what Zoro did, nothing seemed to work. When Mr. 1 tossed him into a building he cut to pieces, Zoro remembered a conversation that he had with his Sensei years ago.
(Flashback)
"Sensei! Sensei!" yelled a very young Zoro, "I just heard there are people who can cut though anything! Even steel!"
Zoro's Sensei (who was also Sasuke's father) laughed, "Yes that's true." He said, "Watch this carefully Zoro."
His Sensei tossed a piece of paper and tried to slice, but couldn't.
"It's still in one piece." Said Zoro with a sweat drop.
"Listen Zoro, there are swordsmen in this world are not able to cut though anything, at the same time these people are able to cut though steel." Explained his sensei.
The two then sat down to continue their conversation.
"The Principal of swordsmanship is the power to protect what one wants to protect and to cut what one wants to." Explained Zoro's Sensei, "A blade that injuries all it touches isn't really a sword, do you understand."
"Sensei! I'm going to be a swordsmen that can cut though anything!" said Zoro.
"Did you hear a word I said?" asked Zoro's sensei with a sweat drop.
That's when a really, really young Sasuke came running though.
"I need you to hide me!" cried Sasuke.
"Why?" asked Zoro.
"Sasuke!" came the cry of several girls.
Sasuke ran into the house and cried out.
"Please tell them you didn't see me." Said Sasuke running to his room.
That was also the day that Sasuke learned the true evil of fan girls.
(End of Flashback)
Zoro got up out of the rubble of the building, holding a piece of the building… and it wasn't a small piece either. It was huge.
"Go ahead, try to wound me, you'll never cut me if you're the one taking the beating." Said Mr. 1.
"You're not going to see me cut thought steel." Said Zoro lifting the building up high, "Cause when you do, that will be the end of you!"
That's when he threw the building, that's right, he threw a frigging building! What the hell man! Who the hell throws a frigging building! Seriously!
Now in order to change the subject from the building thrower…
Sasuke stared in shock.
"How do you know Itachi?" asked Sasuke once again.
"I know him though Lord Orochimaru, I have to say you two look a lot alike." Said Kabuto, "I honestly never thought we would meet each other so soon."
"So you're friends with him?" asked Sasuke.
That's when Kabuto hit Sasuke in the arm, he screamed when it his.
"What did you do?" asked Sasuke.
"I simply used my version of the Gentle Fist." Said Kabuto, "As I said before the normal Gentle Fist uses the energy to hit spots to cripple the body. Sometime even canceling Devil Fruits. I thought to myself, what if you used a different way that's when it came to me. What if you used the Gentle Fist to cut internally."
"What?" asked Sasuke.
"I use my Gentle Fist to cut inside, each blow I give off a precise cut, I cut muscles and tendons or even shred organs… Isn't that interesting?" asked Kabuto.
"So that's why your Orochimaru's right hand man." Said Sasuke.
"That's right, I'm both his right hand man as well as his doctor." Said Kabuto with an evil smile, "Howa about a little deal, if your able to defeat me, I'll give you all the information you want about Itachi."
Sasuke's eyes winded.
"Are… are you serious?" asked Sasuke.
"Of course! But that's only if your able to beat me." Said Kabuto.
Sasuke gritted his teeth.
"If I defeat him! I'll finally be able to find Itachi." Thought Sasuke.
He remembered what Itachi told Mihawk, "If you do indeed want to find me… I'm in the Grand Line…"
"All right! I have to beat him! I can finally find out why did killed Kuina." Thought Sasuke.
"But that's only if your able to defeat me." Said Kabuto adjusting his glasses, "Especially since I made your arm useless."
That's when an idea came to Sasuke.
"I have a question for you… what do you think happened to the Chidori Scroll?" asked Sasuke.
"Since it was Anko who helped you, I honestly have no idea." Said Kabuto, "Anything could have happened to it… And I mean anything… this is Anko we're talking about so…"
That's when Sasuke got a strange image in his head… it's best it's not known what it was and that he was extremely happy that never happened.
"I bet what you're thinking is something I thought about a long time ago." Said Kabuto.
"Maybe." Said Sasuke who regained his composure, "However did you ever think that she might have given it someone?"
"What?" asked Kabuto.
That's when Sasuke's hand began to crackle with electricity. He ran towards Kabuto very quickly, Kabuto managed to dodge. Sasuke withdrew his arm.
"Damn it." Thought Sasuke.
"If that thing hits…" thought Kabuto sweating, "I might not be able to recover."
"So is the deal still good?" asked Sasuke with a smirk.
"This might prove very interesting." Thought Kabuto with a smirk.
Elsewhere in the City, Zoro and Mr. 1 continued their fight after Zoro threw the frigging building on him, Mr. 1 cut it to piece. However after that the fight turned bad to Zoro, Mr. 1 cut Zoro to a bloody mess, he pushed Zoro into a pillar which collapsed.
Mr. 1 was walking away thinking he won… that was when he saw Zoro standing there, bloody, not having been hit by the broken pillar.
"How can you be standing! More importantly how did you dodge that falling rock!" yelled Mr. 1 in shock.
"Doge it… no I knew where the rocks were falling." Thought Zoro think back to what happened.
"My sword." Thought Zoro that's when he sensed where his sword was and dug out of the rocks of the broken pillar.
He began to recollect everything… everything that happened… it was as if everything around him was breathing.
"To "not be able to cut anything" is that like hearing breathing?" thought Zoro, "Have I learned to be able to cut though steel."
"What's your trick swordsman!" shouted Mr. 1, "You took too many hits, you lost too much blood."
"I can hear it the breathing of his steel." Thought Zoro.
That's when he decided to test something… he slashed though a nearby palm leaf, nothing happen, then nearby rock… which was sliced in half… If it was possible, he might have found to key to cut though steel… And with that hopefully he will win.
Next Time: Sasuke and Kabuto continue their fight! Will Sasuke beat Kabuto and learn about his brother? Or will Kabuto shred his inside? Also Zoro wins... Yeah... it's going to be the first few paragraphs it's going to happen... so yeah...
