Disclaimer/ Warnings: From now on I will only post these on the first chapter. I don't want to fill up the chapters with these things and annoy you, the readers. Sound fair?
I know I said I would stop but looking at the chapter I decided to do this in Orochimaru's POV. My take on his reaction as to finding out he marked the wrong kid and his thoughts behind the upcoming invasion of Konoha by Oto and Suna.
"Family Ties"
By: Beloved Shadow of Light
+ Whose Will is Stronger+
This is the moment I have been waiting for. I have spent so many years perfecting my plan, waiting for this moment to take my revenge on this for turning its back on me, and on my former mentor for not giving me what I rightly deserve. Watch Sarutobi-sensei, watch as I turn one of this village's most powerful names against you, watch as your little village crumbles beneath the weight of my vengeance. None shall be spared from my anger and hatred.
I watch as the brats come together in the arena, smirking to myself as I see my spy has made it into the final round. Good, all it going according to plan and now all I must do is wait. I listen quietly to what the old man is saying, having found myself in their position a very long time ago.
"Since so many teams survived the second exam, we will be holding preliminary matches. From here on you will be chosen randomly to fight one another, even against your own teammates," he explains, pausing to let the youths comprehend what they have just told.
"In order to become a shinobi one must have trust and faith in their team but they must be able to stand on their own. There will be times where you must put your life down for the sake of your village but you will not always be in a team. You may have to face several of your enemies alone." He pauses once more, hearing the hushed talking and waits until they quiet down before speaking once more.
"Before we begin, if there are any who do not wish to participate then please step forward. Your team will not be affected and you will have the choice to retake the exam if you so desire."
A single hand was raised into the air as a young man with silver hair tied into a ponytail stepped forward, smiling. "I quit," he said, a bit too happily. I smirk quietly to myself.
"Kabuto-san, what are you doing?" Naruto asks in disbelief. "You helped us out, you can't quit now!"
"Gomen but since the brief fight with the nin from Oto I haven't been hearing very well." He continues to smile as if this was nothing important. "I'm lucky I made it through but I'm afraid I can't continue. And I can always take it again."
"Hai..."
I smirk as I watch the young man leave. No one is suspecting anything out of the ordinary. I knew he had great potential when I first laid my eyes upon him, and he has yet proven me wrong in all these years.
"From this point on, each battle will display all of your skills as a ninja and your loyalty in becoming a shinobi. In other words, you will win the battle when your opponent is unable to continued, has forfeited, or is killed."
"Nani?!" More than one genin looks shocked at this but a few didn't let this bit of news bother them. In fact, these same people seemed--excited about the idea of killing the competition off one by one. Hmm, perhaps this will be more enjoyable than I had originally thought.
"If there is no one left who wish not to continued then look up at he screen on the wall. Your names have been entered and will be randomly selected as well as that of your opponent. Now, let the preliminary matches begin!" A large mural shifts to reveal a flat screen. Everyone watches with halted breathe as their names flash, praying for their names to appear (or not appear) before it stopped on two names.
Shiruba vs. Akadoi Yoroi.
A man dressed in black and white smirks behind his mask, his eyes hidden behind a pair of black glasses. His eyes glance up to me very briefly but I say or do nothing but as the others move out of the arena I frown, watching the Uchiha boy closely. There is something strange happening; I can feel the curse lying dormant but not from him.
'Something is wrong. I know I marked the Uchiha boy but I sense nothing from him.'
"Shiruba-chan, are you sure you can do this? You don't have to continue," Haku says with concern.
"Hey I came this far not to give up," she says with determination but still her hand grabs the place where she had been bitten even tighter.
"You haven't had a chance to rest up much less heal, this is suicide."
"Everyday is a suicide so why should this be any different?"
"Gaara, tell her she can't do this!"
"... Shiruba."
"Hai?"
"... Don't die."
She blinks before breaking into a smile as she flashes him the peace sign. "There's no way I'm dying today. I gotta be the Dancing Queen after all!"
Naruto looks over at his sister as his feet took him to the stands where everyone could watch the matches take place but even so he took a deep breath and cupping his hands around his mouth, shouts to her. "Shiruba-ane!! Don't you dare lose to that jerk!!"
She looks up at him and smiled, holding her hand out to him with all her fingers spread. "Hey Naru-kun! I bet you a whole month of ramen dinners that I'll end this fight in five minutes!"
His blue eyes open so wide they look ready to fall out of his skull. I cannot help but smirk at he grins, the whisker-like scars on his cheeks curling ever so slightly, giving him the appearance of a grinning fox. "You're on!!"
Yoroi watches the strange girl that is to be his opponent, smirking at how weak she appeared to be and the amount of blood on her clothes. 'Too easy.'
A leaf jounin lands into the area, his hitachi tied over his head so it covered most of his hair but he has such a sickly and pale expression on his face. He looks ready to keel over if even so much as a strong wind blew in. "I'm Gekko Hayate and I'll be the examiner for the premilinaries," he tells them but it was somewhat hard to hear him out as he kept coughing between words. "Ready... fight!"
Yoroi smirks and charges at the girl. "This will be over in a sec-" His hand grabs nothing but air. He stares at the empty ground but whirls just in time to dodge a punch. I blink quietly. This young lady is quite fast.
"Kuso!" she grunts and throws her arm up, blocking the punch but as she twists her body to get away a powerful kick caught her on her side in the back, catching her by surprsie. Skidding back several feet she winces in pain, holding the more-than-likely bruised area as she glares at him. "Cheap trick for a cheap ass," she grunts.
"You're faster than you look, little girl. Why don't you quit before you break a nail," he taunts.
"Funny, I was going to say thing about you," she smirks and straightens, rubbing the area before letting her hand drop. "You caught me off-guard with that kick but seriously, do you honestly think you'll beat me with such a weak attack?"
He frowns at her words as I continue to study her. "Don't toy with me, kid. I coud easily break that pretty neck of yours."
"You couldn't handle an army of fire ants. For that matter, neither can I. Gods they get into everything and before you know it each bite is like someone dropped a lit match right on your skin. Ouch!"
"Grrrr! You think this is all a game?!" he yells out angrily.
The silver-haired girl smirks as she tries fixing her hair, pulling the long strands out of her eyes. "Life is a game, I just follow my own set of rules."
I can see the disbelief on Yoroi's face; I knew his over-confidence would one day be the best of him but it does not matter. While this girl may be faster than him he has a certain ability that makes him quite useful. Smirking he studies her for a few moments before charging once more. Throwing his arm back he prepares to strike her but the subtle shift of her posture was seen right through and so he changes tactics. Shifting his own posture he punches her opposite fist into her stomach, catching her completely off-guard I watch with a small smirk as he grabs her by the collar of her shirt and body slams her prone form into the ground, followed by a sharp elbow jab. A large cloud of dirt rises into the air, filling the arena and making it difficult to see but even with the mask on I can tell that Yoroi is smirking
"Nice try little girl but your taunts won't get to me now," he taunts himself, growing confident once again. "Looks like your smart-ass mouth couldn't save you in time."
"You're like the 100th person to talk about my mouth and I'm getting really sick of it," came the feminime voice. I knew this girl was fast but so fast not to be seen even with my eyes? Before even I can grasp what is going on I watch as Yoroi's limbs are pulled back into akward positions, falling onto the hard-packed earth with his legs bent up behind his back.
A small breeze drifts through the arena, blowing the dirt away to reveal the girl--Shiruba--several feet away, crouched down on one knee but her arms are crossed over her chest, fingers lightly curled. Her eyes have a hard set determination in them but as she gets to her feet she spreads her arms out at either side of her, fingers spreading wide. Yoroi cries out in pain as his arms are pulled straight out behind him, his legs slowly being forcsed even further back until his ankles are nearly touching his shoulders!
"Arigato for getting rid of the shirt for me though, the blood was making me sick and I'm sure Uchiha was mising it," she adds. It isn't until now I can see what I have this feeling of my plan not going as well as I had wanted it to go. Without the dark shirt I can see wrappings stained with blood binding her chest tightly but there on her neck, nearly hidden by her hair is a mark of three black swirls.
I can feel my own eyes widen at the mark on the pale skin, my fingers digging into the flesh of my arms, trying to contain my anger before anyone around me could notice. 'Impossible! I gave the curse mark to Uchiha! How did she-'
"What's wrong, boy? Is this the best the Uchiha clan has to offer?" the kuniochi taunted, smirking as the dark-gaired boy tried to fight her off but was losing. She had expected more of a fight with him but still it didn't matter. From behind her a huge snake rose from the shadows of the foilage, and lunged at the boy but it pulled back with a loud hiss of pain.
"Nani?!"
"Try that again and I'll make a whole line of luggage and accessories of your pet!" a voice called out. A girl dressed in a black shirt and skirt with a white haori over it but it bore ice blue flames dancing along the bottom hem and high collar. She held two bloodied kunais in her hands as she glared angrily at her.
"This isn't your fight, little girl."
"It became my fight when you hurt my brother. I'm gonna rip out your tongue then hang you with it, bitch."
"This is my fight, now get outta here!" Sasuke yelled at her but she ignored him and landed on the branch he was on.
"Enough with the high-and-mighty act, kwaidan. If this is really your fight then you deal with the bitch and I get the snake."
"Quit telling me what to do!"
"Then get the stick outta your ass!"
The woman growled and sent the snake to lunge at them once more but she was forced to jump out of the way when she recognizes the final hand seal. She has no choice but to move quietly as the Hōsenka no Jutsu tries to burn her.
The huge snake hisses and lunges at the girl, fully intent on eating her whole but all it tasted was the moss covered wood of the brnach as the girl nimble jumped out of harm's way. Shiruba landed lightly on her feet as she landed on the snake's head she barely had time to focus the chakra into her feet when the reptile tried to shake her off. It wasn't working but still it refused to give up as it wove it's way through the branches.
The young girl grunted as some of the smaller branches struck her but she didn't care and finally, jammed her kunai's into the snake's eyes. She jumped off at the last moment and didn't bother to suppress the giggle when the snake rammed itself into a thick tree but it faded away when the snake turned to an unsuspecting Uchiha who was still busy throwing fireballs as a very nimble kuniochi. Cursing she moved as fast as she could, launching herself from tree to tree she shoutd a warning and tackled the Uchiha off his branch just in time to have the huge anaconda ram itself into the branch, nearly cracking its skull open.
The woman landed on a branch, barely breathing hard but cursed when she detected no sign of the Uchiha boy or the strange girl. The snake hissed angrily, flickering its tongue out repeatedly as it moved its massive body around the branches. She whirled when she saw a very faint movement of the bushes below and was about to go after it but pulled back as a kunai shot through the air and embedded itself into a trunk just behind her. A moment later a paper thin cut appeared on her cheek just below the corner of her eye.
Sasuke straightened from his crouching position, glaring angrily at the woman and snake with a calm, collective look on his pale face. "It's me your fighting," he said in a calm and collective tone. Quickly glancing at the area below she made out the white coat of the girl running off and smirked, facing the young man.
"So I am." The two clashed in a fight, scorching the ground and trees around them but it was in a certain move that had the woman bound to a tee with steel wires that was nearly her undoing as on the other end the Uchiha boy smirked, holding the wires in his mouth his hands flashed through the signs to release the jutsu.
"Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu!" The flames coursed along wires at a rapid spread, engulfing the woman in a burning blaze all that was heard was her screams. Sasuke drew back, watching intently he sighed, shoudlers dropping but it was too soon to celebrate as the flames quickly died out. "Nani-?1" he began to say, tensing for another fight but he was taken back when he heard a jutsu being released.
"Nan no Kaizō!" Without any other warning the partially melting face of the Kusa genin lunge at him on a neck that seemed to be made of rubber. Before he could attack or get away the woman struck and bite him deeply on the side of his neck, fangs piercing the skin deep enough to make it bleed.
"Aargh!!" Finally getting to his senses he swipe a kunai at the long neck but she pulled her head back. He could feel something coursing through his body, making it hard to do anything he felt himself falling only to realize he was but managed to land on his feet before falling to his knees.
"W-What did you do to me?" he demanded, grabbing the bite mark. Beneath his fingers the twin bite marks turned into a strange circular pattern of three black swirls.
"Enjoy my gift, Uchiha Sasuke. Once you've had a taste of my power you'll come begging for me to give you more," she taunted before jumping away as the pinked haired girl ran over to him.
'She tricked me. I placed the curse mark on her thinking it was him! How could I have not noticed it before?!' I growl to myself angrily. What could was this child when the one I watned was that last of the Uchiha Clan?!
The boy from Suna dressed in solid black frowns as he watches the fight below with a knowing eye. "So that's how she did it," he mutters to himself. The blonde at his side with the large fan looks at him questioningly.
"What are you talking about?" she asks.
"When we first ran into them I used my chakra-strings to trip that loud-mouth blonde but then they were somehow used against me. I didn't realize it until now but that girl, she managed to catch mine chakra and trapped me with them, turning me into a puppet. That's why I was able to disspell it so easily."
"You mean right now--she's using the same thing?"
"Hai." He rests his hands on the railings, watching intently. What they didn't realize was that someone was listening in quietly before looking abck at he match. While the girl was good the exhaustion was taking its toll on her: she was breathing hard, her chakra levels were getting low, and if one looked closely they could see some of her muscles spasming beneath the skin, resulting in slight ripples.
"Give up, there's no way you can break free," Shiruba says with a weary tone in her voice, tightening with each struggle he causes. Yoroi growls in anger, the chakra strings bite deeper into his skin but as he looks up at her he smirks. I smirk just slight enough to have the corner of my lips twitch. There was a reason I chose Yoroi to partake in the exams.
"I beg to differ." He closes his hands into tight fists and to everyone's amazement, they began to glow an unearthly bluish color.
The young girl could only stare as her chakra strings were being dissolved no matter how strong she made them. Releasing them she turned, hoping to put some distance between them and figure out what just happened, but it was too late. Yoroi grabbed her ankle ankle tightly, pulling her back towards him but she quickly spun around, lifting her foot to drive the heel of her thick boot into his arm but his other hand moved up and roughly pressed into the soft tissue behind the knee, forcing the tendons to buckle and causing her to fall flat on her back. Before she could get up she found his heavy weight atop of her, his glowing hand slamming her head into the ground. She cries out in pain though as the glow grew brighter and the rest of her chaklra was forcefully leeched.
"W-What are you doing?!" she screams, trying vainly to get away.
Yoroi chuckles under his breathe (as do I) as he feeds off every bit of chakra she has. "You're not so tough now that you can't use your little tricks," he taunts, ignoring her futile attempts at escape. "Is this the best you can do?"
It's no use. Those who have fallen to Yoroi Akado's Chakra Kyūin Jutsu have never survived long enough to defeat him. This girl will be no differ as she becomes weaker and weaker, her struggles lessening but just when I think the match is over Yoroi pulls back with a shout ot pain. All I can see is blood falling from a vicious bite wound on his hand.
The young lady sits up so abruptly her forehead connects with Yaori's face, the sickening sound of his nose breaking is over-powered by the shout of immense pain as he stumbles off and away from her, trying to stop the heavy loss of blood coming coming down his nose. She quickly jumps to her feet, grabbing her neck and panting heavily. I can sense the curse mark activating, her chakra levels are being replenished with the tainted chakra, her body nearly glowing with deep violet almost bordering on black, the mark spreading as elegant stripes curve along her skin, enhancing her pale beauty. Her power is unbeleiveable, with her skills I could easily destroy all my enemies; I would be invincible!
I watch as Hatake takes in the situation, looking ready to call the match over but he doesn't get the chance as the girl begins to calm down. Her breathing becomes steady and calm, her body slowly unwinding from a tight coil, the dark silver strands of her hair hiding her eyes from view. But I try very hard to hide my disbelief as the curse begins to go dormant. Impossible! No one has ever been strong enough to will away the seal, not in such a low condition as she was! The marks receed and she slowly stands, her eyes glowing intently.
"This round is far from over," she whispers so soft it's hard for me to hear her. Before anyone can say or do anything she charges at Yoroi but instead of hitting him head on she keeps running around, shifting side-to-side as if she was having trouble keeping her balance but no, that's not it at all. She's slowly gaining speed, building up the momentum. Yoroi is not pleased as he fires random jutsus at her, hoping to slow her down but she side-steps them all as if it was a child's game. Taking a sharp turn she charges at him one more, her speed making it hard to see except for a blur. I watch as my pawn prepares for an attack but its no use as he barely has time to finish the first hand seal when she drives her knee into his face. The sound of bones crushing startles me for a moment, having not heard that sound in many years but what surprises me is her speed and strength.
Before he can hit the ground and the moment her feet touch the ground the girl quickly grabs him but the front of his shirt and forcefully punches and kicks him in the stomach and face, the impact enough to give me phantom pains. I have not seen anyone this young so aggressive in a long time. Yoroi tried to defend himself, to block the attack but it's futile as she shatters through all his defenses. I watch as he manages to catch her in a tight embrace, pinning her arms to her sides but the victory does not last long. Once more she breaks his hold, causing his own knees to buckle from the sudden attack he is unprepared for when her knee comes up and shatters his jaw with the sharp and powerful impact. He falls back on the ground, slowly choking on his blood and withering in pain, his mask soaked in his blood.
Shiruba pants, glaring down at him and ignoring Hayate kneels down and hauls him up and off his feet. Her hair falls back from her eyes, revealing the silver-blue depth but the other eye is a startling blood red, darker than that of the Sharigan.
"Forfeit... or else," she growls deeply, her tone voicing a dark promise to shred his blood all over the areana.
Yoroi tries to say something, anything but he could barely breathe much less speak. He grabs at her arms hoping to release the pressure but she was inhumanly strong. "F-Fo-it!" he gasps as loud as he could. He loses conscious thought as he's released and strikes his head on the ground.
Hayate coughs into his hand, announcing Shiruba the winner but he barely has time to catch her as she slowly falls to the ground, her breathing growing very shallow. Lifting her up, he quickly passes her to one of the medics. "Get her to the infirmary now!" he orders.
"Hai!" The doctors in their stark white coats leave without another word
"Ane-chan!!" I look to the side and watch as the blonde child tries to get into the arena but he is held back by the Copy jounin. The strange man with the large sword is forcing the strange boy with the sand against the wall none-too-gently, slamming him against the wall as he ignores the sand trying to engulf him. The pale woman is standing behind the feminine looking boy and they appear to be arguing but I cannot hear anything. I watch as the woman speaks and the boys bow their heads in shame. I watch as the woman speaks with the other man who nods. Stepping back she vanishes in a swirl of leaves. I have no time to think about why she seems so familiar as the screen reveals that next two combatants.
Tsurugi Misumi vs. Uchiha Sasuke.
Another of my pawns and this time, he's fighting against the Uchiha boy. This is the match I have been waiting for and although I did not mark the boy it would be nice to see if he truly lives up to my expectations. Misumi smirks as he enters the arena, followed by the Uchiha boy who seems to be deep in thought. Hayate gives the cue for the fight to begin; the boy is not thinking clearly as his hands flash through the signs, a frown on his face as he makes such am amateur mistake.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" Taking a deep breathe he releases a large fireball from his mouth, heading straight for Tsurugi. Everyone is shocked that a mere genin can control a jounin-level jutsu so easily but he was sadly mistaken if he thought his opponent would just stand there and take it. Two arms shoot out and wrapped around his throat, causing a sudden stop to the stream of fire.
"Nani?! He hould be barbeque by now!"
"Something feels very wrong."
'You have no idea, child,' I think to myself.
The back clad man chuckles as the flames fade away to reveal his arms now to be three times their original length. "You must be good if you can use that Katon at your age," he smirks, unfazed at what was happening. "Yoroi actually wanted to fight against you, too bad for him he lost to that little girl."
Sasuke tries to say something, shock stealing his movements but he is too slow and too late to move as Misumi's hands wrap themselves around his throat, slowly choking the air from his body. His heels dug into the groun to keep from getting pulled towards his opponent, ahnds trying to pry the fingers off but all his efforts are failing right before his eyes. It seems this boy is failing at all my expectations, he has yet to even use his kekkei genkai once-
I sense the slight aura of chakra and looked up as the pale woman appears next to the sandaime, talking in low terms. They looked to be arguing but I cannot hear and cannot move any closer or else I would give myself away. She looks upset, shaking her head and glaring angrily at him. I smirk as he sighs and looks away. Weak and pitiful old man. I watch as she walks past the other genins and their instructors, watch as she walks by me and I shiver. I can tell most of her chakra has been suppressed but what I can sense is unbelievable.
The blonde looks up and immediately runs to her, wrapping his arms around her in a tight embrace. "Okaa-san, how's ane doing?" he asks softly.
"She's in pain and she's sorry she won't be able to see any of your matches," she replies softly.
"What's wrong with her?" the strange man asks.
"She's being treated for internal bleeding as we speak. She reopened her stomach during the fight but that's not what I'm worried about. The mark on her neck is a tainted seal, not only is it trying to suppress her charka its also causing havoc deep inside her soul."
"In other words, she's fighting herself," the red hear mutters. I frown as I listen in. How do they know all of this? I look over into the arena when I hear a cry of pain just in time to see the Uchiha using some taijutsu against his opponent. It was impressive but it seems not everyone was pleased with it.
"He's using bushy brow's own moves," the blonde fox says angrily.
"What did you say?"
"Earlier, before the exam bushy brow--I mean a guy name Rock Lee--challenge Sasuke to a fight. He actually had him on the run, it was cool and he kept saying how hard work would always prevail over genius. Damn teme."
The woman frowns but looks at the others, ignoring the rest of the fight. "I'm here because I ahd to tell you what was going on and to be expected for the worse."
For the worse?
"I'm going to try and seal the mark but since you are all connected you may feel an aftershock of it. I don't care what you feel you cannot interfere." The boys look at one another before slowly nodding. "Zabuza-"
"Just go to her, Hidama. She needs you right now," he tells her in a soft tone that does not suit him in the least. Hidama looks grateful as she gives the blonde one last hug before pulling back. As she walks off I follow silently, overhearing but not truly caring as Uchiha Sasuke is proclaimed the winner and but at a glance I can tell the boy is on the brink of utter exhaustion. Though he ahs failed my expectations I still want his eyes for my own.
I follow Hidama out of the stadium but curse under my breathe when she vanished from view. A Kage Bunshin, one so well done I have no idea until right now. But if what I heard correctly is true then I know exactly where she will be. Silently I head deeper of the tower, moving to one of the lower levels. I remember coming here in the past before I left Konoha, where I used to do my most secret of experiments. I pause though when I feel a powerful surge of chakra and something else, something that both terrifies and excites me. This is power I had dreamed of, power that I had wanted since that day, the power that I knew would make me the most powerful being alive.
I still want the kekkei genkai but with this power as my own, no one would stop in my way., Possible, not even that man who dared to stop me before. I slowly entered the room, watching as the girl kneeling in the middle of the room screams, the scriptures running along her skin like tiny serpants and before my eyes I watch as the seal tries to activate, spreading along her skin then retreating then spreading once more. It's a battle I have never seen before, never to this degree but before my eyes I watch as it finally goes dormant. It has not been broken or removed but it was been sealed away.
Hidama removes her hand from the mark and sighs. "It worked but this will all depend on your willpower--are you listening to me Silver?"
"... I wanna see them fight," Shiruba whispers, slowly pushing herself to her feet but the moment she stands she begins to sway and silently crumples to the floor the moment she takes a single step, falling into the woman's arms. "Dizzy..."
"I know hon, just close your eyes and get some sleep," she whispers. I watch as the girl sighs deeply and closes her eyes, falling into a deep sleep but before I can make to leave I watch as the woman tenses, lifting her head. Setting the girl down she stands, her hand slowly moving to the swords strapped on her back. My eyes widen as I recognize the wrist guard on her arm. There is only one woman I know that wore such an item every second of the day, one woman with features as pale as the moon, one woman with the heart and soul made of the hardest and coldest diamond. "Show yourself!" she demands angrily.
I chuckle and make myself know, my reptilian yellow eyes regarding her slender form as her pale blue orbs narrow in recognition. "It's been years since I've last saw you, Hidama. And you haven't changed a bit," I tell her, licking my lips at how she managed to regain her eternal beauty after all these countless years.
She growls angrily, never relaxing from her guard stance she holds before the girl she calls her daughter, her gaze sharp enough to cut through any man. "Far too long, Orochimaru," she hissed angrily; "Far too long."
Author's Notes: I really don't have anything to say except things are getting interesting. Yes I'm doing the genin matches differently but that's to be expected. Also don't count Sasuke out yet. I have a lot planned for this story and as much as I would love to jump forward in order to follow with the series I won't. Wouldn't be more to myself and the readers. Well review if you like it please and thanks for taking the time to read this as well. Later all!
