-1"You know what to do, Sasorimaru. I will send two Genin which you will accompany to the upcoming Chuunin Exams in Konoha. I myself will disguise myself as your Jounin teacher." Orochimaru said as he was sitting in his chair with Sasorimaru standing in front of him.
"Who are the two Genins?" Sasorimaru asked.
"The first is Dosu Kinuta and the second is Zaku Abumi. You should know them. They are the two who you went with to check up on Karin and her status in the base." Orochimaru said.
"Ah yes. If I remember correctly, Zaku just received his arm cannons before that mission. And Dosu with his melody arm. Very good ninja. Do they know of the plan?" Sasorimaru asked as he walked over to the monitors which were showing different Sound ninja training.
"No. All they know is that they are to kill Sasuke Uchiha during the second part of the exam. Most likely they will die and you are to save them from their death so they can be used for the Edo Tensei against the Third Hokage." Orochimaru said.
"When do we depart?"
"In two days. Go train with them two while I go train with the Sound Five. I do fear that there is something wrong with Kimimaro. Kabuto is currently trying to find the problem but so far nothing." Orochimaru said.
Sasorimaru clicked a button which brought up Kimimaro on one of the screens and Sasorimaru just looked at him. Orochimaru seeing this, got up and walked over to the monitors.
"Anything interesting?"
"No. Just looking at Kimimaro train that is all." Sasorimaru said as he left the room.
Two days Later
The four of them left the Sound Village and headed to Konoha. Orochimaru disguised himself as a typical Sound Jounin while Sasorimaru went in the same clothing as he did when he took his first Chuunin Exams. Dosu and Zaku were talking to each other about how they would accomplish their mission while Sasorimaru was walking up ahead of them as a scout. Orochimaru was walking behind he group making sure that no one was following them. They finally reached Konoha and Orochimaru presented them with their passes. They were allowed through and the four of them went to the Academy building to register for the exams. After they finished registering, They went into the nearest inn and went to their rooms. Orochimaru shared his room with Sasorimaru while the other two got their own rooms. Once they got settled in, Orochimaru left the room saying that hw will be back at night. Sasorimaru then informed his two team mates that he is going out to look at the village and that they should too. Sasorimaru suggested that they go look for Sasuke while they can have the chance. The two agreed and Sasorimaru left.
After about an hour of walking, Sasorimaru felt a chakra which he hasn't felt in years. He looked around until he saw the source of the chakra. About three blocks ahead of him, he saw a group of people standing around arguing. Although the chakra was concealed, for someone with his abilities, Sasorimaru saw past the charade and saw the demon inside the container. The container of the demon was wearing an orange jumpsuit and was sitting on the floor with a guy dressed in black standing over him. Then he saw his target. Sasuke Uchiha was sitting on a tree branch and he threw a rock at the Sand ninja. Just as he was about to respond, Sasorimaru felt another demon chakra and he saw a red haired boy with a giant gourd in his back standing upside down in another tree branch.
"Well, well, well. This is something. Who would have thought that the two containers would meet before the Chuunin Exams." Sasorimaru said to himself as he saw the three Sand ninja leave. Sasorimaru then saw someone walking down the street who he thought was familiar. He followed the person but as he turned the corner, the person disappeared. Not thinking about it too much, Sasorimaru then walked around the village some more and finally went back to the inn.
The next morning, the three Sound ninja left to the location of the first test. Orochimaru stayed at the inn and told them that he will meet them when the test was over. When they got in the room, there were already a lot of people sitting around. After waiting for a while, the three of them saw Sasuke Uchiha enter the room with his two team mates. Sasorimaru was delighted to see that the Kyubi container was on the Uchiha's team. Two other teams joined the team with Sasuke and Kabuto then showed up to tell them that they are attracting too much attention. They then heard that the Sound village was being talked about negatively and Dosu and Zaku went ahead to attack them. Sasorimaru stayed back to see what would happen. A minute later, the first proctor showed up and the test began.
The test was the same as his first time. Sasorimaru did the same to cheat on the test although the questions were a lot easier this time so he didn't have to cheat as much. Forty-five minutes into the test, the tenth question was given. A fair amount of people left the test room and gave up. The Kyubi container, who Sasorimaru then found out the name to be Naruto Uzumaki, got up and slammed his hand on his desk and told the proctor that he isn't giving up. The proctor then said that everyone passed the test. Then Sasorimaru felt a familiar chakra as the window was smashed and a purple haired woman showed herself. Sasorimaru was never more shocked in his life. Anko. She was still alive. Anko didn't spot Sasorimaru at the group of people and Sasorimaru then thought about what to do.
The next test was being given the next day so Sasorimaru had time to think about the situation with Anko. He decided not to tell Orochimaru about her and told Dosu and Zaku to not mention Anko to Orochimaru. Sasorimaru began to think about the plan that Orochimaru had created to destroy Konoha and began to plan how to get something out of all this.
The Next day
Sasorimaru, Dosu, and Zaku met up with the other Genin teams near the Forest of Death and Sasorimaru saw Sasuke and his team. Anko was talking with his team when Sasorimaru saw a Grass ninja give Anko back the kunai which she threw at Naruto. Sasorimaru know knew that Orochimaru knew about Anko. But Anko did not realize that it was Orochimaru. They got their scroll and went into the forest.
"You know what the mission is. Find Sasuke Uchiha and kill him." Dosu said as Zaku and Sasorimaru followed him. The next morning the three of them found Sasuke and his team but Sasorimaru wasn't expecting to see what he saw. Sasuke had the cursed seal. This was not part of the plan. Sasorimaru then realized that Orochimaru did not tell him everything and that he is now beginning to doubt his loyalty to his teacher. But regardless, They began their attack on Sasuke and his team.
But then another Konoha ninja showed up to protect them. The ninja was wearing a green spandex suit. "Who are you?" Sasorimaru asked.
"I am Rock Lee. And I will protect you Sakura." Lee said.
"Then you shall die." Dosu said as he leapt forward to attack Lee. Lee blocked with a root of a tree which Dosu destroyed with ease. When more ninja showed up to fight against Sasorimaru and his team, Sasuke woke up and he was pissed. Zaku said that he was the one who hurt Sakura and Sasuke was beating Zaku with no problem. Zaku then had his arms ripped from their sockets by Sasuke and then Sasorimaru saw that it was enough. Dosu agreed and they gave their scroll and took Zaku and left. When they were safe, Sasorimaru healed Zaku and then told them that he had something important to say. The others listened.
"As you probably know, the plan is not what it seems. What I am about to say cannot be known by others especially Orochimaru. And do not think different of me when I say the next thing which I am about to. I am currently in the same position as you two. The original plan you think was to kill Sasuke Uchiha. But that is not the case. The actual pan was to test him. But even I did not know that he received a cursed seal. I thought that Orochimaru trusted me after all these years but know I know the truth. My mission was to make sure you two survived so that Orochimaru could use you to sacrifice you for his jutsu later on when Sound and Sand attack Konoha." Sasorimaru said. Dosu and Zaku were shocked to what they just heard.
"Yes. The actual mission is to destroy Konoha. You two were just pawns but it seems like I am not far from your position in ranks. But now I have a plan to stop Orochimaru and to be free of his control. While you two are not under his control because you do not have the cursed seal, you two are loyal to him so that is why I consider you to be under his control." Sasorimaru said.
"Don't worry. We are not loyal to him any more. But what is it that you have planned." Dosu asked.
"The test proctor for the second test is someone I know. She was my team mate when I was still in this village and Orochimaru was still in Konoha. She was the first one to receive the cursed seal but Orochimaru told me that she was ungrateful fro it but I know think that he just threw her away. Whatever the reason, He never told me about her status. I actually liked her but he destroyed that. And know he doesn't even tell me the true plans. So here is my plan." Sasorimaru said as he began to explain in detail what they would do and in the end, Dosu and Zaku agreed.
At the end of the test, Sasorimaru and his team got their two scrolls and saw that the two demon containers and their teams passed along with three other Konoha teams. Kabuto and his team were also there. The were going to be preliminaries to see who would pass to the next and final test. Kabuto the forfeited and left. Orochimaru smiled at that and Sasorimaru saw that and smiled himself that Orochimaru didn't know what would happen. The matches went by with no interest. Dosu fought against a fat ninja and beat him easily. Zaku fought against a bug user and was having difficulty but Sasorimaru used one of his new abilities he learned during the past twelve years from Doku. Sasorimaru told the insects to stop in their tracks and to attack their user or else. The insects sensing the Scorpion spirit inside of Sasorimaru obeyed in fear and the bug user was defeated. Everyone was shocked at this. Sasorimaru fought against a lazy ninja. At first, Sasorimaru thought that the match would go easy but then learned that the shadow user was a very brilliant strategist. Sasorimaru did not use any of his scorpion abilities but defeated his opponent at his own game. He used a genjutsu to make the room smaller and when the Shikamaru grabbed him with his shadow and threw a kunai, it was Shikamaru who got knocked out cold and the genjutsu was the dispelled.
Over the next month, Sasorimaru tried to get members for his new organization. So far, there was no name but Sasorimaru knew who he had to get. And two of them were in the finals for the Chuunin Exam. During the last week, Sasorimaru managed to get two people into his organization. One of them was the creator for the cursed seal, Jugo. The second person was someone Sasorimaru needed to make sure that when the second stage of the plan is in motion, that the monster of the Mist Village was being taken care of. Suigetsu was the second person. Now Sasorimaru needed his final two members for his ten man organization. But these two were going to be the most difficult to recruit. His other two members were already on their way to Konoha and they would be here in time for the destruction of Konoha and the end of Orochimaru.
Sasorimaru went around the village to find his tenth and final member. He found the person he was looking for in a small dumpling shop. As Sasorimaru walked in, the person felt his chakra and turned around to see him.
"Anko."
"Sa…Saso…Sasori…Sasorimaru?" Anko stuttered.
"Yeah. How have you been?" Sasorimaru asked as he sat down opposite of Anko.
"Why do I feel like I know you?" Anko asked.
"Its because you do. You and me were team mates together before Orochimaru got rid of you." Sasorimaru said.
"Orochimaru? You are with Orochimaru?" Anko said as she took out a kunai.
"Not anymore. He used me as he used you. And now I am getting my revenge on him. It is time I do what I am destined to do. And I want you to be a part of it. Get your revenge on Orochimaru and help me destroy another group of people who are after me and others like me." Sasorimaru said.
"How do I know you are telling the truth?" Anko asked.
"Because you know it is true. I can get your memory back and we can be together like we were years ago. Help me kill Orochimaru and finish off nine other people who possess something I want." Sasorimaru said.
"Why? Why do you want me to help you?" Anko asked.
"Because you and me were great together. Don't you remember how we used to fight together as a team. We were unstoppable. We can have that again." Sasorimaru said.
"How are you planning to kill Orochimaru?" Anko asked.
"Well, he is here at this village right now. And the next thing I will say is of great importance to kill him. But you cannot tell anyone about me or what I have told you. Just say that you intercepted Orochimaru talking here in this village. Understand?" Sasorimaru asked.
"Yeah."
"in two days, during the final test of the Chuunin Exams, Konoha will be attacked by Sound and Sand ninja. Orochimaru will have the Third Hokage trapped so he can fight him to the death. It is during that time that we can kill him. If Konoha is prepared, then the forces can be repelled. And then there are four of his elite bodyguards who will be protecting him and the Third from any interruptions. I know how to stop them and once they are killed, Orochimaru will have no chance." Sasorimaru said. "What do you say? You can go now and tell the Third of what I have said but meet me here at eleven tonight so we can talk more."
"Fine." Anko said as she left the shop.
Later that night, Anko decided to join Sasorimaru. Sasorimaru then undid the jutsu which Orochimaru used to block out memories from her past. Anko then remembered everything and was happy to be back with Sasorimaru. Suigetsu arrived at the village the same night and Jugo was brought in by the other two members.
"Now that everyone is here, I will tell you the name of this organization. Welcome to Hakubo(1)." Sasorimaru said.
"Hakubo? Why that?" Suigetsu asked.
"Because it fits. Now, in two days, the first phase goes into motion. But first, to make sure everyone here knows who everyone is, we will say our names. I will go first. My name is Sasorimaru."
"Anko Mitarashi."
"Dosu Kinuta."
"Zaku Abumi."
"Jugo."
"Suigetsu Hozuki."
"Tobi."
"Aradam."
"Good. Now, the last two members will be recruited after the first phase. I suggest that we all plan how we will attack the Sound Four. They will create a barrier jutsu which will be almost impossible to get by. The one way to destroy it is for Dosu and Zaku to use their sound techniques and destroy it from inside. If at least one of the Sound Four is killed or rendered incapable of fighting, then the barrier is gone and the rest of us can attack the other three Sound Elite. Konoha ninja will no doubly join the attack so we cannot kill them. Once the Sound Four and Orochimaru are dead, we all leave. The last two members will join shortly after the first phase. Once they join, then we begin phase two." Sasorimaru explained.
"Who are the other two you have in mind?" Aradam asked.
"The first is Sasuke Uchiha. He will be useful with the Sharingan to defeat the other Sharingan. The second is Naruto Uzumaki. He is the Kyubi container and since he contains the strongest demon of the nine tailed demons, he will be also useful to keep Sasuke Uchiha under control from getting to out of control when he is fighting Itachi Uchiha." Sasorimaru said.
Aradam looked at him and then looked away. Tobi raised his hand. "I have a question."
"What?"
"When the first phase is complete, what is the second phase?" Tobi asked.
"That will be told later. First things first. Orochimaru must die and the Sound Village is to be destroyed." Sasorimaru said.
After that, the eight members of Hakubo split and went their separate ways to spend the night. Aradam remained in the room.
"So, the chance to see both of my descendants and to meet the Kyubi once again. This will be good." Aradam said as he got up and walked to his inn.
A/N: Well that is that. Sorry for the long wait. This chapter may seem the same length as the previous ones but I had to stop it here and keep it at suspense. The next chapter hopefully will come soon.
(1). Hakubo means twilight.
