THE GREAT OROCHIMARU PURGE PART 6: DESTROYING THE ISLAND LABORATORY.

Team Cosmic Dragon was in the Land of Water, near the ocean. They are on their way to destroy the island laboratory.

"So this island laboratory is Orochimaru's main laboratory?" Lincoln asked.

"That's what his info in the Book of Vile Darkness says," Nicole answered.

"We just need this to destroy this, and Orochimaru will be gone forever," Naruto concluded.

"That's right," Sakura replied.

"There are still some of Orochimaru's experiments floating around, and we have to either help them or destroy them," Nicole explained.

"That's right," Lincoln replied.

"Everyone, we have arrived," Nicole announced.

They arrived at an island with a massive building carved into the rocks.

"This is it, all right," Nicole confirmed.

"Yep," Naruto agreed. "The scent of snakes is everywhere."

They entered and were greeted by a massive laboratory.

"This lab is huge!" cried Naruto.

"No kidding," Fu answered. "Look at all this science stuff."

"Orochimaru was sure busy with all of this," Juri observed.

"I agree," Nicole answered. "Let's look around and see what we can find."

They thoroughly searched the lab, uncovering numerous inhumane experiments and logbooks. They sealed them in scrolls for the Leaf to examine.

Rin made a huge discovery in one of the rooms. "Hey guys, come here!"

They rushed over to her.

"What's up, Rin?" Nicole asked.

"Look at this!" Rin exclaimed.

They noticed a big horn in a massive tank.

"That's one big horn!" commented Naruto.

"That's Gyuki's horn," Natsumi explained. "Where did Orochimaru get that?"

Nicole flipped through a logbook and made a startling discovery. "Orochimaru used his Jinchuriki Blue B Genjutsu-Inducing Pills to make the 8-Tailed Beast attack the Cloud while posing as his doctor. He used the 5-Elements Unseal to make the Tailed Beast run amok, and the 3rd Raikage sealed the beast away, resulting in Blue B's death."

"That's horrible," Naruto exclaimed. "Orochimaru was attempting to harness the power of the Tailed Beasts in some way for his experiments."

"That could be the reason," Fu mused. "People frequently regard Jinchuriki as weapons of destruction or use them for their own personal pleasures."

"Yeah," Nicole agreed. "Orochimaru is now worse than the Devil, and he makes him look like a tame kitten in comparison."

"I can't believe that Orochimaru became that evil," Ami added. "He's now like Madara Uchiha."

"No, Ami," Sasuke replied. "Madara Uchiha is the worst of the worst, making even Orochimaru look like a kitten in comparison. Madara wishes to destroy the planet where Orochimaru wanted to rule with an iron fist."

"Well, it's a good thing Orochimaru is dead and will never terrorize the world again," Aki commented.

"Yeah," Nicole agreed. "Orochimaru is the epitome of evil, and so much more. Lets seal the horn in a scroll. We're going to the Cloud after this."

"All right," Naruto replied.

They emptied the tank, and Naruto sealed the horn in a scroll. They continued their search and came across a number of prison cells.

"This must be where Orochimaru keeps all his prisoners," Nicole suspected.

"Yeah," Lincoln agreed.

"Hello? Is anyone out there?"

"We hear you," Nicole answered. "Where are you?"

They noticed a hand poking through the bars of a cell.

"Let's go," Nicole urged.

As they ran, they noticed several people with scarlet red hair inside the cell.

Naruto gasped. "You're all from the Uzumaki Clan."

"Yes that's right."

"Orochimaru got some of the Uzumaki Clan for his sick experiments," Nicole explained.

"That's right. I'm Akira Uzumaki and these are my children Uzuki and Suki."

"I'm Takeo Uzumaki."

"I'm Harumi Uzumaki."

"I'm Akare Uzumaki and these are Hiro, Tsume, and Kazuma."

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you," Nicole replied. "We are Team Cosmic Dragon. I'm Nicole Knudson, the Leader of the Star Dragon."

"I'm Lincoln Loud of the Thunderbird."

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze of the Lifewing."

"I'm Sakura Haruno of the Oceanwing."

"I'm Fu of the Blazewing."

Juri: I'm Juri the Sea Dragon Maiden."

"I'm Ami the Cobra Sword mistress."

"I'm Akiko Suzuki the Maiden of the Nebula."

"I'm Sasuke Uchiha the Knight of the Raven."

"I'm Rin Nohara of the Phoenix Wing, a veteran of the 3rd Great War."

"I'm Yamiko Kaguya, the Bonemancer."

"And I'm Natsumi the 9-Tailed Kitsune."

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," Akira added.

"Same here," Naruto responded. "My mother is Kushina Uzumaki, the Leaf's Red Death."

"We know Kushina," Akira answered. "But we heard she was dead."

Nicole shook her head. "No Akira. She is very much alive. She was in a coma for 12 years after Natsumi was forced to attack the Leaf Village due to a Rogue Uchiha."

"Oh man," Takeo gasped. "That's terrible. But we're grateful she's okay."

"We also found your daughter Tayuya, Uncle Takeo," Naruto added. "She was brainwashed by Orochimaru and turned into one of the most evil monsters ever."

"Yeah," Nicole agreed. "But, I saved her during my match in the Chunin Exams finals."

"Is Tayuya all right?" asked Takeo.

"She is," Nicole confirmed. "I returned her to her normal self."

"Thank goodness," Harumi exclaimed with relief.

"Let's get you all out of there," Naruto stated.

Nicole broke the bars and set them free.

"Thank you, Nicole," Akira said.

"You're welcome, Akira," Nicole replied.

"There's also an Uchiha here," Akira added. "Orochimaru kept him here because his Sharingan wouldn't activate."

"Where is he?" asked Sasuke.

"This way," Akira answered.

Akira lead them to a cell three doors down, where the Uchiha was dressed in blue and green, had a black mullet, and had black eyes.

"So you're an Uchiha?" Sasuke asked.

"That's right. I'm Saiga Uchiha."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Saiga," Sasuke replied. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha. It's nice to meet another family member."

"Likewise, Sasuke," Saiga replied.

"Let me get you out of there," Sasuke offered.

Sasuke ripped the door down and freed Saiga.

"Thank you, Sasuke," Saiga said.

"No problem," Sasuke replied.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Saiga," Nicole added.

"Same here, Nicole," Saiga responded. "I've heard so much about all of you."

"News sure travels fast, doesn't it?" Naruto noticed.

"It sure does," Saiga agreed.

"Change of plans, guys," Nicole announced. "We'll call the Raikage to the Leaf and give him Gyuki's horn. We'll report back to the Leaf and tell Lady Tsunade and the Shinobi Council about our findings."

"Okay," Naruto replied.

"That's a good idea," Lincoln added.

"All right," Nicole answered.

They went outside and Nicole stood ready and cupped her hands to the side. "Never again Orochimaru. KAAAA! MEEEE! HAAAA! MEEEE! HAAAAAAAAAA!"

Nicole unleashed a powerful Kamehameha Wave, and the entire Island Lab exploded.

After the smoke cleared, the only thing that remained of the island was a crater that the ocean had filled.

"That takes care of that," Nicole noted. "Let's head back."

Nicole used Quick Transmission, and they beamed back to the Leaf. They arrived in front of the gate and ran into the village towards the Administration building.

Kushina and Shizune were helping Lady Tsunade with paperwork in the Hokage's Office when they heard a knock at the door.

"Come in," Lady Tsunade ordered.

Team Cosmic Dragon entered the room.

"Lady Tsunade, we have successfully destroyed the Island Laboratory, but we have had a surprising development along the way," Nicole informed.

"What happened, Nicole?" Shizune asked.

"Well, it's a big surprise," Nicole admitted. "You can come in."

Akira and the Uzumaki entered the room. Kushina gasped in shock. "Akira, Takeo, and Harumi! You're all okay!"

Kushina hugged them, and it was a happy reunion.

"We discovered more of the Uzumaki Clan imprisoned in the Island Laboratory, and it turns out Orochimaru was planning to steal the Uzumaki's most treasured Kekkei Genkai - the Chakra Chains," Nicole explained.

"We also found a member of the Uchiha Clan among them," Naruto continued. "Saiga here."

"This is amazing," Lady Tsunade enthused. "Takeo, I'm so glad you and Harumi are safe."

"Me too, Tsunade," Takeo agreed. "It's great to see you again."

"Same here," Harumi added.

"I also think Tayuya should spend some time catching up with her parents," Naruto added.

"That's a great idea," Lady Tsunade replied. "ANBU send for Tayuya, please."

Tayuya was called in, and she arrived 20 minutes later. "What's up, guys?"

"Tayuya, we had a surprising development happen on our mission to destroy the Island Laboratory and well…" Nicole began.

Nicole turned her face and Tayuya gasped when she saw Takeo and Harumi. She had tears of joy stream down her face. "Mother? Father?"

"Tayuya," Takeo responded. "We've missed you."

Tayuya hugged her parents and cried deeply into them. "I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Lady Tsunade, I think everyone needs some time to catch up," Nicole suggested.

"I agree," Lady Tsunade responded. "Kushina, you can take the rest of the day off to see your family again. Everyone but Nicole, please leave and take this time to catch up with your family."

They left, and Nicole filed her report. "So, Lady Tsunade, we found a bunch of experiments that Orochimaru was working on, and we made another major discovery. We need to call the Raikage to the Leaf. We discovered the severed horn of Gyuki the 8-Tailed Beast in the Island Laboratory. It's in this large scroll I have on my back."

"I see," Lady Tsunade commented. "I'll send him a message right away. Please continue."

Nicole nodded. "Right. We discovered a terrifying discovery that went along with it, and Lord A is not going to like it. After we cleared out all the experiments for you and Master Jiraiya to examine, we found the Uzumaki and Saiga Uchiha in the prison cells in the lab, and we were shocked to discover them. Orochimaru was after the Uzumaki's Chakra Chain Kekkei Genkai, and he kept the Uchiha because his Sharingan didn't activate. We set them free and destroyed the Laboratory. We beamed back here after we destroyed the lab. Our original plan was to deliver the Horn of Gyuki to the Raikage and tell him in person at the Cloud, but the finding of the Uzumaki and Saiga changed that."

"I see," Lady Tsunade noted. "Nicole, well done. You will receive Triple S-Rank mission credit. I will call a council meeting and instate the Uzumaki into the Leaf."

"After everything the Uzumaki went through, I'm sure they'd love being in the Leaf," Nicole added.

"I agree," Shizune added. "The Eddie's destruction left the Uzumaki in ruins."

"You won't get an argument from me, Shizune," Nicole stated.

"Yes," Lady Tsunade confirmed. "You're dismissed, Nicole."

Nicole left for the Namikaze estate, where they were catching up with everyone. Sasuke and Itachi were catching up with Saiga. Saiga was shocked to learn that the Clan had been destroyed due to the corruption of the Elders and the Civilian Council. Nonetheless, he was relieved to be home. A council meeting was called, and the Uzumaki and Saiga were inducted into the Leaf.

Lord A, the 4th Raikage, received the message and arrived in two days, horrified to learn that Orochimaru was responsible for Blue B's death when his father was the 3rd Raikage. Knowing this, Lord A was grateful that the horn had been returned to the Cloud. Orochimaru was now officially declared the Ultimate Evil of The Five Great Nations.
