Also, since Orochimaru did not bring Anko with him this time, she does not have the curse mark or have as much of a hatred towards him (though it still is pretty big)

Orochimaru sighed in his research lab in Otogakure. His village had about 100 shinobi all from the Fuma Clan that was the major shinobi force in the Land of Rice Patties. He was going to wait a few years until changing the name to the Land of Sound. A crash reminded Orochimaru of a promise he had made a few months ago when Akuma learned how to crawl. He would NEVER recruit a child below 3 years old to Oto.

Sure, Akuma was a good kid, to Orochimaru at least. He was quiet, attentive, and only cried when he absolutely needed to except when he was around anyone else. When he was around others he actively tried to be annoying. Of course, he was also curious which while good for the future, was disastrous for a child in a laboratory.

Orochimaru slowly turned around in his swivel chair to see Akuma trying to hide behind a few vials and looked down to see the DNA formula that he was trying to perfect to recreate the Rinnegan spilt on the ground. He could see why Kabuto attempted to get a restraining order from the child now. Orochimaru shrugged and went to go pick up Akuma. He figured the formula wouldn't have worked anyway, Senju DNA plus Uchiha DNA surely could not have been the key anyway.

Orochimaru continued to repeat his favorite mantra of the last few years 'only a little while more' as he put the baby in bed. When the kid grows to be 2 and a half years old he would finally be able to be trained. According to ninja history, it would be best to only train him in the basics until he reached age 4. That was when the chakra system more or less finished adjusting to the point to where using chakra extensively would not harm the user.

After putting the child that seemed to have the goal of destroying every project in his village, Orochimaru returned to his laboratory and sat at his desk. Around him were stacks of papers about various intelligence reports and results on experiments. One of the requirements for the Fuma Clan to join Oto was to give them a kekkai genkai. He HAD been attempting to give them the legendary eye jutsu, so he could possess one of their bodies in the future of course, but someone had ruined that.

Maybe that wasn't the answer anyway… perhaps instead of recreating a bloodline, he should create his own. Since the Fuma Clan was known as the best shuriken and weapon users in the world, maybe a bloodline that made them reform and form metal was the trick. Orochimaru stood up and wrote a note to remind himself to get his scientists hidden in the Land of Wind involved in this study. Perhaps if he altered their blood to take in elements from the air and exert them as metal… Or maybe have their blood have an abnormal ability to produce more iron and exert it through sweat pores as the metal…

"Um, Orochimaru-Sama?" a Fuma Clan member muttered at the doorway to the snake sannin's office/laboratory. She was a woman who seemed to be in her early 20s and had been chosen as Orochimaru's assistant thanks to her attentive nature and lack of murderous intent towards the terror that is Akuma. She wore the usual Oto shinobi gear, a purple vest with black pants and a white undershirt, but did not wear the usual mask adopted by many others. She wore her green hair in a ponytail that reached her lower back and had a fuma shuriken attached to her back. Naifu also was one of the more serious shinobi of the village and had been one of the few that refused to receive a new bloodline trait. She was a chunin and was a sensor who was actually attempting to be considered for the future Oto Jounin Exams. These are exams very similar to Chunin exams except that there were no teams and it was not open to the public. Anyone not a shinobi was banned from watching the exams to prevent spying. Also, the requirement to apply was rather hard to accomplish as you had to be jounin level in 3 skills and complete 100 missions with at least 15 B-rank. During the test, the applicants had to show off their skills, pass a test filled with things all jounin should know, and show their mission record.

"Yes, Naifu, what is it?" Orochimaru asked.

"We have two new recruits at the recruitment center named Misumi Tsurugi and Yoroi Akado wanting to join sound. They want to become stronger and have signed up for the Enhancement Program." Orochimaru smiled at that last part. The recruitment building was at the capital of The Land of Rice Patties and had an option for the sign up form new recruits received. It was different for civilians and ninja as civilians joined the academy in Oto that was recently opened and ninja went through a test to see where they will be put in the ranks. There was also an option that put them in the Enhancement Program, where they were experimented on to give them special abilities. If they worked they were applied to multiple volunteers who would form a clan and pass on the new genetics to their offspring.

"That is very good news," Orochimaru said with a chuckle. "And how old are these two?"

"11 and 12 respectfully. They came from Iwa after their adoptive father was murdered by a ninja right in front of them. Will their age be a problem sir?"

"No, not at all Naifu. In fact, it is better to have young recruits as they have more time to adapt to the experiments and more time to get stronger. Soon, I will actually be traveling the world to pick up a few young ones to join our forces."

"Very well sir. I will go get the recruits ready for experimentation now." Naifu vanished from sight and Orochimaru knew she would be at the recruits soon. He had little doubt she would be promoted to jounin in the exams and was looking forward to seeing her participate. Now then… back to his research. What should he give these recruits hmm…

121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212

(Time Skip: 1 year because why not)

Orochimaru smiled as he looked down in the underground arena that was built a few months ago to hold the jounin exams. Otogakure was now fully complete and was an extremely large cavern that had seal reinforced roofs so that nothing could go through them or collapse them. There were buildings all throughout the village and a monument like Konoha's on one wall of the cavern. The stands were about a tenth of the way filled with multiple shinobi from Oto. In the past year over 200 ninja had joined the village. While most were no-named missing nin or civilians who became genin, there were a few chunin and jounin that had joined the village as well.

Speaking of which, one of the jounin was approaching him right now. Suien was a ninja from Takigakure when Orochimaru met him and he immediately took an interest in the man. He was on a mission to investigate his village and he noticed early on that Suien wanted power. He told the man he would give him that if he joined him and helped him further strengthen his village. Suien accepted and brought about 10 more ninja form Taki with him, including one participating in the Jounin Exams named Suika. Suien had long spikey hair, small dark eyes, and a goatee. His hair was a grass like green and he wore a dark blue jacket, grey pants, black sandals, and a bandana with the sound symbol etched into the middle of it. He was about 28 years old and was one of the strongest ninja in the village after personal training from the snake sannin.

"Are you ready to begin Otokage-sama?" Suien asked as he kneeled behind his otokage.

"Yes, begin the exams as soon as you are ready." The written portion and mission sheet review had already ended so now all that was left was the three skills demonstration. For ninjutsu you had to demonstrate at least 10 jutsu and 2 different chakra affinities, for kenjutsu you had to fight against another jounin who was an expert in kenjutsu, for medical ninjutsu you had to show an example of great chakra control and had to heal a heavily injured boar, the list continued on but there was a test for everything. Also, if a person showed a skill unique to them it counted as one of the three required. This was also why he selected Suien as the proctor of the exams. He was skilled in kenjutsu, ninjutsu, taijutsu, and barrier ninjutsu and could even summon a large catfish called Konenmaru.

"Very well my lord," Suien jumped down to the arena floor below and pulled out the list of applicants. There weren't very many as the village was still new, in fact there were only 6 of them. (A/N: I will not be showing all 6 of their exams. I am only doing this even to show you all what the battle system will be like and he skillset of a few semi-important characters) "First up is Suika, will Suika please come down here." Suien heard a yell and a cry of 'how dare you pervert' and sighed as Suika came towards him. If he passed, Suika would be the youngest jounin here at 16 years old, that is if his womanizing habits didn't get him killed beforehand.

"Who'd you piss off now Suika?" Suien asked almost bored.

"Some chick named Naifu, I swear it was an accident! I didn't really mean to grab her down there…" Suika said while rubbing the back of his head. Suika had a head of long green hair that reached his shoulders in length. He also had black eyes with green eyebrows. He wore a sleeveless black shirt, a pair of grey pants and a blue and orange jacket. No matter how many times he told him to get rid of the awful color, Suika just wouldn't budge on the matter.

"Uh-huh. I'm sure. Now what three skills will you be showing off today?" Suien asked with the patience of a man who's known Suika for a while.

"Summoning Jutsu as a special skill, ninjutsu, and taijutsu."

"Very well, let's start with your summoning jutsu. Remember to try and not use a lot of chakra as the ninjutsu portion is next." Suika nodded his head before biting his thumb and slamming his palm to the ground. After the smoke from the technique cleared the audience of shinobi gasped as they saw a waist high black and red spider glaring at Suien. Orochimaru meanwhile was leaning forward in his seat as he saw this. Summoning contracts were rare, for one of their ninja to have one was extremely valuable to the village.

"Very good, Suika. Now unsummon him so we can start the ninjutsu portion." Suika nodded again and unsummoned the spider. "You will have to prove that you can use two chakra affinities and use ten ninjutsu. The fall down here didn't make you forget how to do them right?"

Suika scowled and began making hand signs. (AN: showing him do each jutsu is boring so I will not do that) In the end he made 7 fire style jutsus and 3 earth style jutsus including; Fireball Jutsu, Mud Wall Jutsu, Mud Dragon Jutsu, Fire Dragon Jutsu, Mud Bomb Jutsu, Fire Vortex Jutsu, Smokescreen Jutsu, Fire Spit Jutsu, Flamethrower Jutsu, and finally Flame Bomb Jutsu. In the end the arena was covered in smoke and scorch marks. Suien had never been more glad that Orochimaru installed ventilation seals in the roof of the village. That smoke smell would have never gotten out otherwise. In fact, the village might as well have been outside with all of the special seals like the air currents and light seals.

"Okay *cough* *cough*, finally is the taijutsu test *cough*," Suien said while trying to cough out the smoke he inhaled. "To pass this, you and I will engage in a taijutsu spar. If I deem you strong enough to pass or you defeat me then you will become a jounin. Prepare yourself," as he said this Suien dropped into a taijutsu stance as well as Suika. Without further warning, the two launched themselves at each other as threw a punch at the other.

The two hit the others' fist and jumped back before Suien kicked and Suika blocked. Suika attempted to punch Suien in the jaw but his elder dropped below the punch and delivered an uppercut that launched Suika a few feet away. Suika flipped around a few times before landing on the ground in a squat and charging again. He reached his elder again and decided to try and use a kick, which was caught. He then grabbed the ground with his hands and channeled chakra to them before throwing Suien away with his feet that he had yet to let go of.

Suien landed gracefully and threw a hard punch at the charging Suika which landed, flattening Suika who rolled away from a stomp. Things continued like this for a few more minutes until Suien eventually won by grabbing Suika in a full nelson and grabbing his neck to snap it. "Congratulations, you pass," Suien said with pride in his voice. Suika smiled a bloody smile before falling forward on his face, unconscious.

Suien sighed, all pride now gone out the window with Suika's consciousness. "If only I could demote him… Alright, next is Naifu Fuma. Will you please step down here?" Orochimaru's assistant arrived in a swirl of wind which just so happened to pick up a rock and drop it on Suika.

Before Suien could tell her to list what skills she would be demonstrating she answered, "Today I will be demonstrating sealing, medical ninjutsu, and sensory skills."

Suien nodded and then pointed to himself, deciding to test her sensory skills. "What chakra affinities do I have and what level of chakra do I have?"

"Water and Wind chakra affinities and you have low kage chakra levels. Very impressive sir."

Suien smiled broadly at the compliment. "Well at least one of our jounin applicants know how to show respect. Here, I want you to make an explosive note, chakra sealing note, and a barrier note." He handed Naifu three pieces of paper and in an astounding five minutes, the required notes were finished and handed back for later use by the village. "Very good, we need more sealers in Otogakure," he complimented as he looked over the seals for any mistakes and finding none. "Finally, we will bring in a boar while you give us an example of great chakra control."

Naifu nodded her understanding at this command and pulled a handful of colored sand. What she was about to do required great chakra control and was the requirement for being a master medic. She closed her eyes in concentration and slowly separated each color of sand with only her chakra. Five minutes later, she finished and allowed the sand to fall to the ground. She did not get to rest as she wiped some sweat away from her brow and set to healing the boar that was sent in. it had a large cut that almost dissected it if it wasn't for how it was brought in. Naifu pulled out a needle and some thread and slowly sewed the creature back together after setting the internal organs back in place. After she finished that she healed the cut together and was promoted to jounin.

Orochimaru looked down in interest as his assistant went back up to the stands. While she was not suited for combat at all, she was still a decent fighter if he remembered right her true talent was he medical ninjutsu and long range shuriken attacks. Judging from what he had just seen, she had the potential to become as good of a med nin as Tsunade herself, well maybe that was stretching just a bit but still. He really should get Kabuto to train under her whenever he was older. Anyway, it seemed like that Suika boy would be a good ninja in the future as well. He may let him train little Akuma-kun when the boy reached the right age. He would not be able to train him constantly after all…

121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212

Akuma was bouncing in place as he waited for his father to return from the jounin exams. He had learned how to talk long ago and was currently using that ability to annoy the hell out of his babysitter. He knew what he was doing, and he enjoyed it. To him anyone who couldn't handle an annoying kid wasn't skilled enough to defend him. In reality, he was calm and quiet most of the time and was always excited to learn new things. He was at a civilian high schooler's level of reading and had already read multiple informative books that enabled him to have a higher vocabulary than most genin. His father would not accept anything less from his successor after all…

"Hey, hey, hey when will papa be back old man? Will it be later or soon? Hey, hey, are you ignoring me? Papa says ignoring people isn't nice." This went on for a while and Akuma would be lying if he said that he did not take immense pleasure in it. He was currently dressed in clothing reminiscent of Orochimaru's cloths as a genin, not that he knew that, and had spiky black hair. Akuma didn't know that his hair had been dyed in a small attempt to hide his identity but if he did he probably wouldn't care.

His babysitter, some teenager named Mizuki who apparently was off on a "training trip" with his also traitor sensei. "Oh my god, do you ever shut up?!" Mizuki finally snapped before he began to cower after being hit by a large amount of KI (Killing Intent).

"What did you just say to my child Mizuki?" There was no mocking tone from Orochimaru this time. There was just a voice as cold as steel and a blade just as cold at his throat. Before he could even mutter out an excuse he was carried off by two sound chunin who were equally as angry at him for what he said to 'Akuma-sama'. Orochimaru looked at the Konoha genin get carried off to the experimentation labs before turning back to Akuma with a sigh. "Must you do your little tests on every babysitter you get?"

"But father, if they can't handle being annoyed then how can they be effective ninja enough to defend me?"

Orochimaru sighed again and put his head in his hands before clapping, startling Akuma. "True, very true. I wish I could have brought one of the babysitters you actually like but they were all at the exams."

Akuma shrugged and shakily stood up to his feet to walk to his father. Orochimaru still couldn't contain his shock at the boy some days. He was a genius that was as smart as people 4x his age and could hold an intelligent conversation with him but still could not fully walk. That wouldn't be until a few months when his training would begin. He still couldn't make up his mind of whether or not he should augment Akuma's abilities like he did for those two recruits last year of the many others he had helped. Speaking of which, he was very close to finishing the makeshift bloodline of the Fuma Clan. He had decided to call it Iron Release and all the members that received it, and survived since there was a 20% fatality risk, would form a new clan called the Tetsu Clan. Speaking of the clan, 75% of the members had wanted to form a new clan while the remaining 25% stayed true to their roots.

While they didn't have a bloodline, Orochimaru himself was proof that you did not need one to be strong and he was excited to see what direction the famous clan would take. His research was also doing very well. His new technique that would allow him to achieve a crude form of immortality until he formed a true version of it would take a few more years to complete, and after he finished that he would start working on incomplete techniques that interested him such as the Edo Tensei technique. On top of that, he would only need a few months to complete the Tetsu bloodline to make it genetic and insert it into members who wanted it. Finally, he was planning a trip to get new members in a few years, probably when Akuma was 7. His goal would be to recruit a personal guard for himself that he would train as well as a personal guard for Akuma. He would allow Akuma to come with him and handpick his five subordinates as well.

"What are you thinking about father?" Akuma asked by his side. Yes, he would take his lessons like water to a sponge in the future.

"Just the future Akuma-kun. Have you read up about Konoha yet?"

"Yes, I think we could even go to the branches of the Hyuga Clan for recruits as long as we can find out how to reverse their seal." Orochimaru stopped in his tracks for a moment before continuing to walk with his son. He had thought about that in the past but didn't give it much thought. However, his 'son' had just caused him to revisit the idea. All they needed was an event to cause even more resentment from the branch families and a few Hyugas captured to study the seal and he could have a new clan in his village. So far they only had 2 real clans, the Fuma Clan and the Mamorimasu Clan which specialized in barrier jutsu. They were originally a group from Mist who left during the Third Shinobi World War because they were being sacrificed to allow 'more valuable' shinobi to live in missions or giving them minor missions. Orochimaru had been able to recruit the small clan of 30 people and they accepted more members until the clan reached 80 members.

The clan heads, Hanzaki Fuma and Shirudo Mamorimasu, along with Orochimaru made up the makeshift council of Otogakure. He hoped to one day have as much clans as Konoha but that would be later on. "That is a very good idea Akuma-kun. When you turn 7 would you like to look in Konoha for any possible candidates for your bodyguard squad?" At Akuma's fierce nod he knew that he would probably have to start figuring out how to sneak into Konoha with Akuma. It would be very troublesome to sneak around the Uchiha police, though he knew he could bypass the Byakugan, but he would find a way for his son.

As the two continued to walk down the hall, Orochimaru couldn't help but think that the future looked bright for them.

Well we did get a lot done in this chapter. You all witnessed many things in the Hidden Sound and met a few new characters that will play a major role later on in the story. Also, Orochimaru is not like he is in the anime. He does not look at his subjects as test subjects or pawns in this story, he is an actual leader but is more like Danzo than Hiruzen. Finally, Akuma is smart because he has spent every waking moment learning since he could understand anything and is not like a kid. He is more like Itachi and is being trained by Orochimaru to be the perfect successor. Now, he is still a bit carefree and likes to play pranks and stuff because that is his personality. Those are the major story points I wanted to go over and if you want to add anything or talk about anything on here then please review. Speaking of which, WOW. I did not expect this much positive support in the form of favorites and follows. I already have more favorites than any story I have ever posted but the reviews are just not as numerous. I would appreciate more reviews but to be honest I'm just glad you guys are enjoying the story and I will be sure to post more content as soon as possible.
