Thousand Sleepless Nights
Chapter #02 - A Deal With The Devil
After a while Naruto opened his eyes only to find that he was lying on a floor, in a cold dark room.
Not knowing where he was or who put him in that room, The blonde stood on his feet and walked over to the door. The young genin tried to pull and push the door, but it was of no use. The door was locked from the outside.
Naruto hit the door with his fist and yelled for help. But no matter how much force the blonde put in his fist, or how loud the young genin screamed, nobody came or answered to the boy's aid.
Naruto realized that nobody was coming, so he hopelessly stepped away from the door.
After a while of walking around and doing nothing, he remembered what his sensei had told him "Naruto if you are ever stuck in an enemy's clutches. Be patient and if you have the time meditate to gather your chakra..." These were the words of Kakashi which Naruto had just remembered.
Taking his mentor's advance he got into the lotus possession and closed his eyes and without losing any time the blonde started to meditate.
After a while of meditating in complete silence, Naruto heard the doorknob slowly turning which meant that someone was there. A click came from the door as the door slowly opened, and when he felt the shadow was casted over his entire body.
The boy said to that person that cast the shadow over him "It's about time. I've been waiting for..."
The young genin shut his mouth when he saw who was in front of him. He was terrified when he set his eyes on the man in black robe with red clouds on it.
The older man in the black robe walked slowly to the young genin. Naruto cried out of his wits as he said to the man "Who are you?"
The man replied to the boy in a very angry an inpatient tone "Having such a pathetic brat in my sight. It's unforgivable."
Naruto frowned. "You talking about how I'm so pathetic, look at you.". The boy stood up and glared at the man in the robe. The fear for what the man might do to him had grown even bigger as he came closer to him.
The stranger grunted. "What about me?" he said in a tone like he was about to be exploded with rage.
Naruto gulped as he tried to come up with a response. Seconds later, the man in the black robe spoke to him. "Well, what were you trying to say? I don't have all day you know."
Naruto gritted his teeth in anger. He didn't like being insulted, especially by a complete stranger who knew nothing about him. It was best to keep calm in this situation after all. And maybe, just maybe, he could talk his way out of death.
"You know...you look so strong...way too strong to be talking to someone like me..." The blonde said still scared of the death.
The man grunted. "You are correct about that. You brat."
"But..." Naruto said to the man, and the man replied to him in a much angry tone of voice. "But what?"
The genin spoke to the man. "But why would you kidnapp me in the first place ?"
The man humped, turning away slightly. "I hate explaining myself to brats. But if you must know I'm running low on subordinates."
Naruto crossed his arms, at the vague statement. "So what does that have to do with me?"
The stranger turned his attention to Naruto once more, looking sharply into his eyes. "Why don't you answer me this: do other people make fun of you? Treat you like garbage?"
Naruto lowered his headband, thinking back to all the times he was called a pest, a monster, and a pest by the villagers, even his beloved Sakura... "Yes...all my life to be honest." he replied quietly with disappointment filled in his voice.
"What if I say I could give you the power and the ability to make you a legend in this world? The power to burn your enemies to the ground and show those all that didn't believe in your skills. Do you not want that...boy?"
Naruto nodded. His shiny sapphire pools leaked with curiosity at the figure before him. "Of course I do, but can you really can make that happen?"
The man turned and slowly started walking forward. "Very well then follow me, and don't keep me waiting..."
Naruto blinked. Was that a yes or a no? Whatever the case, he couldn't pass up the offer of growing stronger. "Yes sir!" Said the blonde with hope and followed the new figure.
The two walked down the long spiral hallway and neither spoke a word until moments later. "Since you have agreed to my terms, your new name shall be Asun and you will address me as Sasori no Danna."
Naruto blinked, his eye once again peaking curiosity. "And why do I need a new name?" Said the Kyuubi-holder to the unknown man now called Sasori
"Do not question me brat." Sasori said as he got slightly angry with Naruto.
The blonde frowned. "Fine my name is Asun !"
After a long walk down a spiraling hallway, the man opened a door. Both Naruto, now deemed Asun, and the mysterious Sasori walked into the storage room. As the genin was looking around the room he saw broken puppets hanging from the hooks off the ceiling. He shivered remembering a similar scene in a horror movie he and Kiba watched together a while ago.
As he stared at the puppets he asked the mystery man. "May I ask something?"
Sasori peered at the genin from the corner of his puppet's eyes. "Make it quick brat before I lose interest."
"What are these things hanging off the wall?" The blonde asked with curiosity.
Sasori picked up a small box on a table. "Those are puppets on the wall, boy."
Asun shrugged and continued to look around the workshop."Yeah I figured that much on my own. But...Why did you bring me here?"
"Enough questions."
Sasori opened the box and pulled out a strange looking needle from inside the box. He turned around and slowly walked over to Asun and stabbed the needle into his right arm.
Asun screamed out in pain as he quickly pulled the needle out of his body. "What the hell ?! Why did you do that for ? That hurts!" Said the blonde as bore the pain.
Sasori grunted. "I suggest that you quiet down before something else happens." He pulled out another needle and pointed its end to Asun.
Before-called Naruto made no attempt to argue after this. "Y-yes sir..."
"Good. Now for your fist step of training." Sasori slowly walked to the door of the room. "I want you to build your own puppet from the scratch with the parts supplied. You have until sunset before I return, and expect to see some results or I will kill you."
Asun chuckled slightly. "You're joking right?"
Without another word, Sasori walked out of the room, leaving Asun to ponder in shock.
"He is not really going to kill me, is he?" he thought.
The blonde looked around the room and at the parts lying around the room. He huffed. "How am I going to build a puppet out of this crap..."
However, he was afraid of what his master might do to him, so without a second waste, Asun got to work on building a puppet for his master. Hours went by in a blink of an eye. And like he said, Sasori returned to see what progress his trainee had made.
Sasori saw that Asun was still hard at work, even if he had no idea of what he was doing. He walked over to see what the boy was working on and amazingly, he'd built a full-bodied puppet in less than seven hours.
"Well, what have you created ? boy..."
Asun picked the puppet up off the table and turned around to show his master what he had done. "I've been working hard on this one...how did I do?"
Sasori eyed the creation curiously. It was top-notch craftsmanship for sure. "Tell me about this creation of your's..." Said the older of the two with an intrigued face.
Asun thought for a second before replying."Well I named him The swordsman. He has a lot of different weapons which I put inside of him." He scratched his puppet sheepishly. "...and that's about all I have so far..."
Sasori eyed the boy's creation again, this time paying close to its details. It was a male puppet, and a black robe on his body. His hair was short and colored light shade of green.
"Amateurish, but it'll do for now." he turned heading towards the door. "Now come ! it's time to begin the second part of your training, and be sure to bring that puppet along with you. You will need it." Sasori plainly stated in a manner of commanding.
"So was the puppet a failure or pass? Geez..." he thought as he blinked and got confused whether he was successful or not. "Master Sasori sure is vague sometimes..." The blonde thought with a smirk. However, The blonde didn't waste a second and did as told by Sasori. The boy now called Asun quickly gathered his puppet and followed Sasori to the training room for the next part of his training...
