-1The Kyubi roared at Sasorimaru. Its tails began to swing. Sasorimaru took out all three tails and attacked. The Kyubi roared again and Sasorimaru flew back out of the cave. Orochimaru caught Sasorimaru as Sasori sent in his puppets. The Kyubi roared from inside the cave as the puppets came out broken.
"The Kyubi is far more powerful than we suspected." Sasori said as he jumped further back away from the cave. The Kyubi came outside as Orochimaru took out his Kusanagi sword. He pierced Kyubi at the side. The blade never went inside the Kyubi as the chakra was pushing it back. Sasori sent a puppet at Kyubi which exploded near it. The explosion sent the Kyubi back towards the cave. Orochimaru summoned Manda and Manda attacked Kyubi. Kyubi grabbed Manda with two of its tails. Sasori sent a large number of puppets towards Kyubi which were caught by four more tails. Sasorimaru looked at the battle and went in.
"Summon the Scorpion Ruler." Doku said.
Sasorimaru formed the seals and bit his thumb. A giant scorpion emerged as big as Kyubi itself. The scorpion looked around and saw Sasorimaru. Upon recognizing who he was, the Scorpion Ruler mentally talked with Sasorimaru.
"Why did you summon me human?"
"Help me in the fight against the Kyubi. Doku said I should summon you." Sasorimaru replied.
"So be it. But after the battle, you are going to be punished for summoning me." The Scorpion Ruler said.
"Fine, but do not kill it. This is just a provocation." Sasorimaru said.
Orochimaru and Sasori jumped back as the Scorpion Ruler charged at the Kyubi. Kyubi swung the remaining three tails as a gust of wind emerged. The Scorpion Ruler was not affected as it continued to charge. It grabbed its neck with one of its pincers as the other pincer punched the side of the Kyubi. Upon seeing Manda, the Scorpion Ruler swung its tail at Manda. Manda slithered around it and managed to break free from the grasp of the Kyubi. Manda returned to Orochimaru as Sasori joined him. Sasorimaru appeared at Orochimaru's side.
"Why did it attack Manda?" Orochimaru asked.
"Tell him because we scorpions do not like the snakes." Doku said.
"The scorpions do not like the snakes." Sasorimaru replied.
"No one likes us. But it should know that I am not the enemy" Manda said as it slithered back towards the Kyubi.
"How do we make it go on a rampage?" Orochimaru asked Sasori.
"We lead it in one direction and escape while it continues on the path." Sasori replied.
"Then I have the perfect direction." Orochimaru said as he looked behind him. "Tell the scorpion to make it follow it towards that direction." Orochimaru told Sasorimaru as he pointed towards Konoha. Sasorimaru was a bit shocked but did what he was told. The Scorpion Ruler jumped towards the given direction as the Kyubi followed. Orochimaru told Manda to go and Manda poofed away.
The three ninja watched as the Scorpion Ruler lured the Kyubi towards Konoha. When the two giant beasts were almost out of sight, the Scorpion Ruler was told to poof out of there. It did and the Kyubi continued towards Konoha. Instantly, Sasorimaru fell on the ground.
"This is what you get for summoning me." The Scorpion Ruler said as Sasorimaru was screaming on the ground. Orochimaru looked at him and was a bit worried. Sasori just watched him.
"What is happening to him?" Orochimaru asked.
"I do not know. Most likely a punishment for summoning the big scorpion." Sasori replied.
A short while later, Sasorimaru stopped screaming as the pain stopped. He got up and told Orochimaru not to worry.
"This is where I go. Hope to see you soon." Sasori said.
"Where are you going?" Orochimaru said.
"I need to replenish the puppets I lost." Sasori said. He then began to walk away. Orochimaru and Sasorimaru then left and went towards the direction from where they came from.
Meanwhile
"Lord Hokage." An ANBU ninja said as he appeared next to the blond Hokage.
"What is it?"
"We have found Anko Mitarashi. She was alone and has no memory of what happened to her." The ANBU replied.
"Where is she?"
"She is at the hospital along with the Third."
The Hokage raced to the hospital. He found the room where Anko was in and saw his predecessor there. "What happened to her."
"No one knows. What did Orochimaru say about her when he returned from the mission?" The Third asked.
"He said she was struck by the monster which they were hunting and that her body was not found." The Fourth answered.
The Third sat there thinking as a doctor walked in. She walked over to Anko who was sleeping. "How is she?" The Fourth asked.
"She has lost all her memory from what she told us. How it happened we still cannot say. We predict it was the rocks which she might have hit with her head when she was underwater. But there is another thing about her." The doctor said catching the attention of both men. "She has a strange mark on her neck." The doctor said as she pointed to the mark.
The two men looked at this mark and tried to figure out what it was. "It looks like a seal of some kind. I will call in a specialist on seals." The doctor said as she left the room. The two Hokages sat in the room. Suddenly, an ANBU ninja entered the room.
"Lord Hokage. We have a situation. The Kyubi is on a rampage. It was spotted approaching Konoha from the direction of the Valley of the End." The ANBU said. The Fourth Hokage stood up and looked at the Third.
"Go, I will wait here to see what is wrong with Anko." The Third said as the Fourth ran out of the room. A while later, the doctor returned with another person. The Third instantly saw that this other person was a Hyuga. The Hyuga walked over to Anko and examined the seal.
"This seal has a similar pattern as the Hyuga Cursed seal. But the effects do not seem to be the same." The Hyuga said. "Do you know where she might have gotten it?"
"From Orochimaru. Only he could do something like this." The Third said as he looked out the window.
While the Third was in the hospital, the Fourth tried to figure out what to do. The Kyubi was approaching fast and there was nothing that could be done to stop it. Only one option remained. The Fourth then went back to the hospital.
The Next Day
Orochimaru and Sasorimaru returned to the Sound Village. They walked to the training field and saw the Sound Five training. Seeing Orochimaru, they bowed their heads.
"How did the training go?" Orochimaru asked.
"It went well Lord Orochimaru. We have new techniques that help us become better than before." Kimimaro said.
"Good. Show me. Sasorimaru, go to the lab. Kabuto should be back now. I will be there shortly." Orochimaru said.
Sasorimaru nodded his head and left to the lab. Upon entering, he indeed saw Kabuto there. He walked over and said hello.
"Ah Sasorimaru. How are you?" Kabuto asked.
"Good. And you?"
"Fine and dandy." Kabuto replied.
"What are you doing?" Sasorimaru asked.
"Just going over a test. The results are not pleasant." Kabuto said.
"What is the test?"
"The implantation of the First Hokage's DNA into other people. So far, no one has accepted the genes." Kabuto said.
Orochimaru then entered the lab and walked over to the two. "How is the test?"
"Not good. So far seven have died out of the sixty. I am afraid that they all will die." Kabuto said.
"Keep trying. If forty die, then give up. Put the rest in the hospital and let them die there." Orochimaru said. Kabuto nodded and left the lab.
"How was the Sound Five?" Sasorimaru asked.
"They did get better. And for that I gave them all a Cursed seal." Orochimaru said.
"Is that what you gave Anko?" Sasorimaru asked.
"Yes. But she was not grateful and she declined my offer so that is why she is not here." Orochimaru said.
Meanwhile
"Prepare the sealing ceremony. I cannot hold on much longer." said the Fourth Hokage. They Kyubi and him were locked in a battle and none of them could move. The Third put a baby and began to form seals. The Fourth activated his jutsu and the spirit of the Kyubi began to transfer into the baby. After a while, the Kyubi was completely transferred in the baby. With the small amount of time left, the Fourth form another seal to keep the chakra of the Kyubi flowing normally into the baby's own chakra system.
"Make this baby a hero. Name him Naruto Uzumaki." The Fourth said. The Third nodded and took the baby as the Fourth fell on the floor as a cost to using the jutsu which stopped the Kyubi.
And so the Kyubi was defeated and Naruto Uzumaki was given the power of the Kyubi. The Fourth Hokage was no more and the Third took over again. In the Sound Village, The Sound Five became the elite unit of bodyguards to Orochimaru. Orochimaru tried to take over Itachi Uchiha but failed and left Akatsuki. Ten years will pass before Orochimaru returns to Konoha for the other Uchiha.

A/N: Thanks for the review xangelxkurumi, it helped. More reviews are obliviously welcome. Also, I know this is a short chapter but it is just to fill in for the next chapter. I hope the next one would be much longer. I tend not to write long chapters. Maybe that will end.
Next Chapter: Sasorimaru meets the other Uchiha and his team in the Chunnin Exams. But will Sasorimaru follow Orochimaru's plans for him?
