A couple of days of walking and dodging several ANBU, Orochimaru and Sasorimaru arrived at a little building. Orochimaru walked to the door and opened it. He walked in and Sasorimaru followed him in. A long dark hallway lit with torches was all Sasorimaru could see. Orochimaru stopped in front of a door and turned around.
"This is where you will stay. I will be back in a short while. Do not leave the room until I have come get you. When I come back, I will introduce you to a group of people who you will work with." Orochimaru said. Sasorimaru nodded his head and entered the room. Orochimaru closed the door and left. Sasorimaru unpacked and sat on the bed.
"What now? I left my village for what?" Sasorimaru asked himself.
"Relax. Do what I told you. See where this goes. You are stronger than the snake if you use your true potential." Doku said.
"And what is my true potential?" Sasorimaru asked.
"You have another ability besides your tails and scorpion jutsus. You can access your inner scorpion and transform into a human scorpion soldier. More than you are now. But you cannot access that yet." Doku said.
"How can I access it?" Sasorimaru asked.
"Whenever I give it you. And that is whenever and wherever. Do not ask me to give it to you. I will choose when to give it you or not." Doku said.
"Fine. Can you then tell me what happened to my parents and how you got inside me?" Sasorimaru asked.
"Fine. Your parents gave their lives to the Scorpion ruler. As part of the agreement, their lives are sacrificed to put me in you. You are the last of you family. Your parents wanted you to be the greatest and to have respect that can match even the Kages. How they came across us is not known by me." Doku explained to Sasorimaru.
Sasorimaru sat there thinking and not realizing that footsteps were approaching his door. A knock was made on the door and Sasorimaru asked who it was.
"I am Kimimaro. I am one of the Sound Five." Kimimaro said.
"What do you want?" asked Sasorimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru asked me to come and get you. Please open your door and follow me." Kimimaro said.
"Orochimaru said that he will come get me. He never said anything about others coming to get me. I am afraid I will have to decline your offer." Sasorimaru replied.
"Fine." Kimimaro said as he left.
Sasorimaru sat there thinking if he should have gone with him. What if Orochimaru really did want him to go with this Kimimaro fellow? "Whatever." Sasorimaru said quietly.
A short while later, Orochimaru cam back. He opened the door and told Sasorimaru that he passed his little test.
"The test was about you following orders. I know you follow them but I wanted to see if that status changed. I am glad that it did not." Orochimaru said. "Now follow me."
Orochimaru left with Sasorimaru down the long hallway until they entered a giant room. In front of them were five kids. Now Sasorimaru defiantly knew he wasn't the only one with strange appearances. One of them had six arms while another looked like he had two heads.
"This is Sasorimaru. He is my student from Konoha." Orochimaru told the five. He then turned to Sasorimaru. "This is the Sound Five. From the left are Tayuya, Kidomaru, Jirobo, Sakon and Kimimaro. They are orphans which I have taken under my wing. In a few years of harsh training, they will be the elite unit of the Sound."
"Who is this little shit?" Tayuya asked Orochimaru.
"He will be my personal bodyguard and right hand man." Orochimaru said. "But for now, he will fight you five."
Sasorimaru looked at him and then at the others. "This is going to be too easy." Sakon said.
"Sasorimaru, go there and wait until I say start. You five are to wait until he begins. You may prepare your battle formations but cannot attack until Sasorimaru has." Orochimaru said. The Sound Five nodded as Sasorimaru went to where Orochimaru told him to go. Orochimaru jumped up to the balcony and said start.
While Sasorimaru looked at the five of them, they began to take on their battle formations. Jirobo was just standing there with his hands out as if to stop a boulder. Tayuya took out a flute and began to play it. Three giant demons appeared and took their own battle formations. Kidomaru began to chew something but Sasorimaru did not know what. Sakon and Kimimaro just stood there. Sasorimaru was really impressed with this and began to think on what he was going to do.
A moment later, Sasorimaru took out his two tails from his hands. The others were impressed but not intimidated. Sasorimaru then took out his tail from his spine and crouched. He sent his two front tails at Jirobo. Jirobo dodged them and grabbed them with his hands. Kidomaru spit a giant web at Sasorimaru. Sasorimaru retracted his two tails which hurt Jirobo's hands from the speed of the retraction as he jumped into the air. Meanwhile, Tayuya sent her three Doki at the flying Sasorimaru. Sasorimaru saw them coming and launched his other tail towards the wall behind him and pulled himself to it. Sasorimaru then disappeared instantly and reappeared behind Tayuya and knocked her unconscious. Jirobo used his Earth Style: Chakra Absorption Technique. Layers of rock surrounded Sasorimaru as he was closed off in it. Sasorimaru felt his chakra being drained away. Outside the rock sphere, Kidomaru began to create a web around the sphere. Sakon and Kimimaro remained standing there. Tayuya lay on the floor.
"My chakra is being drained. How am I supposed to get out of here?" Sasorimaru said.
"The only way is if I give you your next abilities. But in order for me to do that, you must promise only to use them whenever you are in a situation like this." Doku said.
"Fine."
Sasorimaru then felt new power and his body began to change. His hands were now pincers as his skin began to mold into a cuticle. It hardened instantly. His spine emerged and formed into a tail similar to its predecessor but bigger. His head was in the cuticle as well as his eyes were now entirely dark. His legs were in the cuticle and began to form little spikes. Sasorimaru punched the wall as it exploded. Jirobo was shocked while Kidomaru flew back from the blast.
Sasorimaru stood there looking at everyone. Orochimaru looked at him and smiled even more. Sasorimaru charged at Jirobo and punched him in the chest. Jirobo flew back and hit the wall. Sakon and Kimimaro looked in horror and began to ready themselves. Kidomaru got up but couldn't move with the tail around his waist. Sasorimaru picked him up and slammed him into the wall. Kidomaru was knocked unconscious as well. Sakon and Kimimaro were the only ones left. Sakon ran up to Sasorimaru and was about to punch him when Sasorimaru swung his tail at him. Sakon flew back, but another one appeared in his place. Ukon grabbed Sasorimaru and began to merge with him. Sasorimaru placed his tail in Ukon and poison began to drip on Ukon. The merging stopped as Ukon began to scream in pain. Kimimaro took out bones from his elbows and ran up to Sasorimaru. Sasorimaru grabbed him with his pincers and began to squeeze. A crack was heard as Kimimaro looked in shock. Kimimaro managed to break free.
"That is impossible. Nothing can break the bones at that density." Kimimaro said.
"My strength is too strong for you to keep up with." Sasorimaru said in a high pitched voice. Sasorimaru ran up to Kimimaro and kicked him. Bones appeared and grabbed the foot. Sasorimaru looked at him and twisted his foot. The spikes on his foot destroyed the bones and before Kimimaro knew what happened, Sasorimaru punched him with his pincer in the chest. Kimimaro flew back into the wall.
"That is enough." Orochimaru said as he jumped down. Sasorimaru began to retract into his normal self. The Sound Five slowly got up. Kidomaru shock Tayuya awake and told her what happened.
"Now you five see how strong Sasorimaru is. Obey him as if you were obeying me." Orochimaru said.
Sasorimaru was looking at the Sound Five and thanked Doku for the new powers.
"Just remember the deal." Doku said.
'I will. I am already beginning to like this. I am the right hand man for Orochimaru and have the respect of these five.' Sasorimaru thought.
A few days later, the short man from the Chunnin Exams appeared at the door of the Sound Village. He entered and Orochimaru met him in his office.
"What brings you here Sasori?" Orochimaru asked.
"The leader wants you to provoke the Kyubi. This will result it in attacking the villages. Then we can capture it when it is weakened." Sasori said.
"Where is the Kyubi?" asked Orochimaru.
"Here." Sasori took out a map with a location of where the Kyubi was located.
"Why me?" Orochimaru asked.
"It is your duty." Was all Sasori said. "We leave tomorrow."
"Fine." Orochimaru said. "But I am taking my subordinate with me."
"The kid from the Chunnin Exams?" Sasori asked.
"Yes. You saw him?" Orochimaru asked.
"I did. Has a lot of potential. Interesting that he can summon scorpions." Sasori said.
"Yes. Anyway. Will you be staying here?" Orochimaru asked.
"Yes."
"Fine. I will take you to your room." Orochimaru said. Orochimaru stood up and walked out of the office with Sasori behind him. "Do you ever get out of that puppet of yours?" Orochimaru asked.
"Yes. Just when no one is around. You never know when a person can get attacked." Sasori replied. "How is the boy I gave you coming along?"
"Very good. A little shady but very good." Orochimaru said. They came up to a door and Orochimaru opened it. Sasori walked in and looked around. "Horrible art." Sasori said quietly.
"What time do we leave?" Orochimaru asked.
"As soon as the sun is up." Sasori replied. Orochimaru nodded and left the room.
Sasori looked around the room again making sure there were no hidden surprises. After a while, Sasori opened the puppet he was in and out came his real self, a red haired teen. Sasori put aside his puppet and took out some tools and began working on his arms.
Orochimaru walked towards Sasorimaru's room and knocked on the door. Sasorimaru opened the door and Orochimaru entered the room.
"I have a mission tomorrow morning with an associate of mine. You are coming with us. This will be good training for you." Orochimaru said. Sasorimaru looked at him for a while before asking what the mission was.
"The mission is to attack the nine tailed demon fox, Kyubi. We provoke it and leave, while it attacks any village in its path." Orochimaru replied.
"Why are we attacking it and then leaving? There are better ways to attack a village than using a demon." Sasorimaru asked.
"True, but this is not my decision. You see, I am in a certain organization. The leader of the organization is giving this order. The reason is that we are looking for all nine of the tailed demons. But the Kyubi is too powerful for any of us so we shall force it to attack the villages until it is defeated or sealed. Either way, we shall get it. We shall capture the container after the sealing process is complete. But if the Kyubi is somehow defeated, then we just look for any remnants of it." Orochimaru said.
Sasorimaru looked at him and nodded his head. He now was getting excited that he can face something this powerful, even though it is only as a provocation. Orochimaru then left the room in search of the Sound Five. He entered the training field and saw them training together.
"How could anyone beat us. It was five on one. If only those two actually fought with us and not at the last second." Kidomaru said pointing at Sakon and Kimimaro.
"Hey, we didn't think that you three would have trouble. Besides, if fat ass over there actually did his job, then we would have won." Tayuya said pointing at Jirobo.
"Don't talk like that Tayuya. And I was doing my job; it's just that kid had more chakra than I thought. None of us knew he could do something like that." Jirobo said.
"Quiet. Lord Orochimaru is here." Kimimaro said. They all got in a straight line and bowed their heads to Orochimaru.
"I will be leaving tomorrow with Sasorimaru. You five are to train until we come back. If I am pleased with your training, you will receive a gift of power." Orochimaru said.
"Yes Lord Orochimaru." The Sound Five said in union.
The next day, Orochimaru and Sasorimaru left the Sound Village with Sasori. They walked for a couple of days until they reached the Valley of the End. There they saw two enormous statues. But that was not what they were looking at, but the waterfall in between the two statues. They walked up to it and heard a soft growl. Orochimaru told Sasorimaru to look inside with his eyes. Sasorimaru walked closer and looked inside. Using his eyes, he saw a cave with a giant animal sleeping. Sasorimaru came out and told Orochimaru and Sasori what he saw. Orochimaru then told Sasori what they should do. Sasori agreed to the plan and they both began to prepare. Sasorimaru was in the meantime a lookout if the Kyubi should change in its state. An hour later, Sasori and Orochimaru were ready. Orochimaru told Sasorimaru to attack the Kyubi and wake it up. Then immediately to retreat and let him and Sasori to finish the plan. Sasorimaru nodded his head and walked into the cave again. But when he was in, the Kyubi was no longer sleeping. Sasorimaru was face to face with the Kyubi.
Disclaimer: Naruto does not belong to me, yeah.
A/N: The reason I gave Sasorimaru the new power is to give him a similar effect as to what the Sound Five will have in Cursed Seal 2. More reviews are appreciated.
