Nwandu225 (February 14)- Thank you! And yea, Orochimaru will not be a cliché here. Just think of him like a Hokage but willing to do much darker things for the good of his village as long as he does not directly harm it. Like Danzo but not doing stupid things that will only harm the village (seriously though, why would you make your strongest clan your enemy instead of your ally? How does that make the village stronger?) Also, yea writing Orochimaru and Akuma scenes are one of my favorite things to do.

Antex- The Legendary Zoroark (February 14)- thanks! Your OC will come in eventually just give him time. I need to finish up with Project Falcon and the tournament and then Orochimaru will show Akuma the dark side of Otogakure. And as for Akuma's true heritage… well we will just have to see won't we?

My 2 guys (February 15)- thank you for your support and the chapters will continue coming in. I have given myself a 1 week deadline to post new chapters but if I don't in that time that does not mean that I have given up on the story, just that I might have other things I need to do or I have writers block (which is what I have on my DBZ story).

The Sound Daimyo walked through the crowds of people in Oto with a grace befitting his royal lineage along with his personal guard. Oto had 'graciously' given the man 12 jounin level bodyguards to guard him or keep him in line. He was the youngest daimyo in the entire elemental countries at 15 years old after his father was killed by these ninja for stepping out of line. He had little doubt that they took him to this tournament to show him just how strong a few of their ninja were.

He didn't care if they were strong or weak if he was honest. His country had been doing better under his rule than it had in years and his father was an asshole anyway. His mother had left the country when he told her his opinions, despite the fact that the bastard abused the young lord constantly she never stopped loving him. "Kenshi-sama, we are at the stadium," the leader of his personal guard told him. He sighed in exasperation but did not dare say his thoughts aloud. He could obviously see the giant stone colosseum that looked exactly like the ancient Roman ones everyone learned about in school.

He walked through the main gates while his head guard exchanged hand signals with the gate guard to make sure no-one was an imposter. He went inside of the colosseum and towards the important guest area. It was a secured area with stone walls surrounding every side except for the front, where the fights were taking place. As he entered the area, he saw some faces he easily recognized. The most important of these were Gato from Gato Shipping, Jiraiya of the Sannin, and the Hot Water Daimyo.

After a brief moment of indecision Kenshi walked over to the Hot Water Daimyo and sat down. "Hello, Michael-san. What are you doing here?" Kenshi asked good naturedly as he sat down. Michael was about 30 years Kenshi's senior so he deserved the proper respect when being talked to.

Michael sighed and lit up a cigarette before taking along drag. The man had been a close friend of Kenshi's father, and his death had added many years to the man but he was still thought to have one of the best minds for politics. "I am deforming my country's ninja village," he confessed after a minute of silence. He held up his hand to halt any questions from his junior daimyo. "I know what you want to say, I am aware of the repercussions of deforming a ninja village. It really isn't even a village anymore, besides one promising genin who just so happens to worship the damn devil there are barely any talented ninja. The village is filled with 500 chunin and about 50x as many civilians so there is no point in even keeping a village anymore."

"But, aren't you worried of your country being taken over by Konoha or Kirigakure?" Kenshi asked worriedly.

To the teenager's dismay, Michael just shrugged. "I don't really care about the land anymore. My wife is dead from cancer, my children killed in a fire, my best friend killed in a bandit raid. I have no-one else and can't really care about anything anymore. However, I am still the leader of my country and I have made a decision." He looked at Kenshi and smirked slightly, the only thing besides a frown he had done. "Instead, if I am impressed by the strength of this village, I am willing to give you control of all my lands while giving the Otokage permission to make a ninja outpost in the country."

Kenshi's eyes were so wide he thought that his eyelids would fly off at any moment. This would be the biggest diplomatic deal in the history of the elemental countries. "And what happens if you aren't impressed?" Kenshi asked warily.

Michael smirked again at the boy, "Well, then I will probably either turn all my land over to Snow Country, Fire Country, or just keep it all and become a vacation resort for all of the other countries. Let's hope your ninja impress me, I can't stand any of those other daimyos."

Kenshi nodded dumbly and signaled one of his guards to tell the Otokage about this new development. If they got this land, then their territory would increase to the same size as the Land of Iron. Kenshi smiled as he thought up schemes and ideas in his head. Maybe it was time to recruit a samurai force of their own to combat the Land of Iron's. It would take years but if they played their cards right they could become big enough to be a major country. Sure, it would take a ton of bloodshed and risk, but Kenshi was extremely ambitious, which was why Orochimaru let him live in the first place. He had to stifle a chuckle as he looked down into the arena floor as the first competitors came out. All of his plans were riding on these four shinobi, they'd better now mess up…

121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212

Jiraiya leaned forwards as two of the four competitors left the floor so the other two could fight. He had seen the bingo book entries and knew that these two shinobi were approaching S-class level. Even if he didn't get any information, this would be an interesting fight…

121212121221212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121

Gato chuckled as he saw the two ninja in the field. The bald man looked strong but the purple haired girl looked weak and frail. If she was one of Oto's best he probably wouldn't be doing much business with them after all. Oh well, perhaps he could gain blackmail material to use on this 'super strong' ninja Orochimaru. He signaled to his mercenaries to be on lookout while he recorded the battle with a camera he smuggled into the arena. He was sure someone would pay big money for the man's techniques and fighting style. Before he could even start the recording his camera was destroyed with a kunai and he was left with a destroyed camera in his hands. Damn ninja… they always meddled with everything.

121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212

Orochimaru and Akuma were both seated at the front of the stands on an entirely separate section reserved just for kages and future kages. As Orochimaru looked down at his ninja he smirked. He could practically feel his son's excitement and, not wanting to keep the boy waiting, he signaled for the fights to start.

121212121212121212121212121212121212121121212121121212121212121212

Ken frowned as he looked over his opponent for the first battle of the tournament. He knew better than to underestimate the woman, he had helped train her after all, and was trying to find a way to win without harming her too bad. He shook that thought out of his head immediately. If she ever found out he went easy on her then there would be hell to pay. He sighed as he remembered the one time she had told her wife some completely untrue information and he was forced to sleep on the couch for a month.

As soon as Orochimaru signaled the fight to start, the two sound shinobi leapt back to opposite ends of the arena and prepared their techniques. "Iron Style: Black Steel," Ken said as he formed a few hand seals for the S-rank technique he received his name from. Many spectators' eyes widened in amazement as iron started to seep out of every pore on Ken's shirtless body and form an extra layer of skin around his entire body. However, this technique was S-rank because it did not impede movement at all and the dark metal was several times stronger than steel because it continually compressed until any more would result in loss of movement.

Guren just smiled at the middle aged man and started some hand seals of her own. She was unable to finish as Ken body flickered to her with his fist raised back. Seeing no other option, she burrowed underground and reappeared several yards away from her old teacher. She tried the hand seals again and frowned as she realized it might not even work. "Crystal Style: Crystal Lance!" she yelled out as she stuck her arm out to the right. A large lance made of a purple crystal formed on her arm and she immediately charged at the man.

He made the iron covering his hand shift into a saw blade and ducked under the lance. He slashed towards the lance and his blade embedded itself inside the crystal by an inch. He used his other hand to his Guren in the face, but was surprised when it was stopped by a hand covered with crystal. "Crystal Armor," she said smugly before using her lance to throw Ken away from her.

He flipped around right before hitting the ground and stared impassively at Guren. She could imagine him frowning, but she couldn't see his face behind all of that iron so she couldn't tell. She cancelled her lance jutsu since it was obvious it wasn't going to work, and Ken wouldn't fall for the same trick twice. Guren jumped into the air to try out a new technique she was working on. "Crystal Style: Shuriken Wild Dance!" she yelled before throwing her hands out straight on either side of her body. Crystal particles surrounded the woman before condensing into shuriken and heading towards Ken at high speeds.

He just stood still and allowed the crystals to hit him head on. Guren landed softly and waited for the dust to clear that came up when the shuriken landed. When it finally did clear, she saw Ken standing there with his armor receded back into pores and a hand seal she recognized as one of his strongest techniques. "Iron Style: Iron Dragon Jutsu!" he yelled out with a smirk as a dragon formed from the pores on his back. Guren took a step back as a dragon made entirely out of hard iron and with yellow eyes looked down at her. With a roar, the dragon charged at her and she scowled.

"Crystal Style: Crystal Encampment Wall!" she thrust her hands forward and from them a giant wall of red crystal blocked the path of the dragon to her. This did almost nothing as the dragon smashed throw 3 quarters of the wall before even slowing down. It continued to slowly destroy the wall, but it made a huge mistake. With a single hand seal from Guren, the wall started to repair itself with the dragon still inside of it, and eventually trapped the beast inside. With another two seals, the wall split into countless crystal pieces with the dragon being destroyed as well. It wasn't over yet however…

"This is it Ken! Crystal Style: Giant Hexagonal Shuriken!" she finished forming the necessary hand seals and the pieces of crystals combined to form many giant crystal shuriken that launched at Ken.

Ken watched wide eyed as he did a few rapid seals that Jiraiya was sure only Kakashi could see. "Earth Style: Mud Wall," he said with a bit of desperation in his voice. Right before the shuriken tore through the wall he did ten more hand seals and put his hands on the wall. "Iron Style: Iron Reinforcement!" he yelled out from strain as an iron coating covered the entire wall on both sides. He dropped to a knee as the attack embedded all the shuriken through the wall and Ken looked to see one only halfway still in the wall.

Ken cursed slightly as he realized he wouldn't be able to use many more iron style jutsu. He needed chakra to replenish his iron supply and he had used up most of it. "On the bright side," he thought seriously. "It seems little Guren is almost out as well…" He was right as Guren was leaning on her knees while looking at the giant iron wall that was in the middle of the field. She cancelled her crystal jutsu and the giant shuriken dissipated into nothingness, making the wall no longer have enough support with all the holes and fall down.

She didn't have any time to let Ken recover so she used the last of her chakra to body flicker behind him and hold a kunai to his neck. "It's over. I win," she said with confidence.

"Did you really?" 'Ken' asked as he turned into mud and Guren felt a kunai on her throat this time. Seeing as she was out of chakra and felt like she was going to pass out at any time she sighed and raised her hand.

"I surrender," she said sullenly. There was complete silence in the colosseum until the first person clapped. Soon there was cheering and clapping from every part of the arena. Ken had the audacity to back up and bow before stumbling back to the combatants area while the medics came to replenish both of their chakra. She followed after Ken and fell in step beside him. "So, Ken, when did you develop that wall technique?" Guren asked feeling a bit ashamed about underestimating the man just because he had not been on a mission with her in a while. She had realized when he made that 20 yard tall and 15 yard wide wall that he was anything but soft.

He just shrugged with a small smile on his face, something she had only seen once. "Akuma and I like to spar every now and then. I can easily defeat him in anything but ninjutsu. Don't get me wrong, mine are still stronger than his but he helped me realize that I needed a defense against powerful and wide spread attacks after he used his Dragon Flame Bullet Barrage on me. It takes about a quarter of my chakra to use it though, so I need to work on it some more."

Guren was left wide eyes at his explanation. He decided he needed a better defense jutsu because of some kid?! Sure he was Orochimaru-sama's kid but he was still a kid. She also noticed some pride in Ken's voice and sighed. It was a shame, it looked like he was not going to return to their squad after all. She still hoped she could convince Orochimaru to get Suika off her team though. That ass was a major pain…

121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212

"Heh heh, you ready to get started sweet cheeks?" Suika asked the beautiful woman next to him. Naifu Fuma did not say a word to betray her intentions and swiftly pushed Suika off to the arena floor.

"Aw, how come you get to be the one to do that?" Guren pouted when she came up the stairs.

"Because you reveal your intentions too soon. As annoying as he is, he is still an A-rank ninja, despite his age, and can easily see what you want to do before you do it." She could see Guren was about to say something about being an A-rank too and decided to start the match before an argument could ensue. She did not like talking, talking got ninja like her father killed. Talking revealed information to the enemy that led them to your village. Talking made your once kind cousin emotionless and led him away from the clan. Naifu shook her head as she thought these things. Shinobi did not dwell on past thoughts, they acted based on the information available to them. She would show them all this when she defeated Suika.

Guren just sighed as she sat down in one of the front row seats next to Ken who took a soldier pill. Naifu had been steadily getting worse and worse over the course of their time together. Now she barely did anything without exact information and was extremely cold. She once saw her not heal a person who was crushed by a building because 'he would have died anyway. It would just be a waste of chakra'. Guren frowned for a moment before making up her mind. After the tournament she would go to Orochimaru directly and hope he took her off of active duty. Even if he defected, she knew he kept some ideas from Konoha, especially their ideas of teamwork. He believed in it so much that the academy had a phrase put up above the stone entrance to the academy. It said 'those that break the rules and regulations are scum. But those who abandon their comrades are less than scum- Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Ninja.' She did not understand the quote if she was honest, it really depended on the mission in her opinion. Oh well, she did not need to understand it, all she had to do is convince her kage to help her comrade.

121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212

"That was mean Naifu-chan," Suika whined while he stood up from his prone position on the floor.

"To shinobi, mean is not in our vocabulary," she said softly while dropping into a Jiu-jitsu fighting stance. Suika stood at 5'11 while Naifu was 5'7 so she wanted to use this style to negate the size advantage. The two also looked very different from the mission with each other and Kabuto those few years ago. Suika was much more muscular thanks to 'standard' introductory training with Ken and now wore his hair in a small ponytail. He wore a white shirt with a purple obi and black pants. His Oto forehead protector shined as he dropped into his patented Spider Style. This relied on swift movements and speedy strikes similar to Orochimaru's fighting style but incorporated with his clan's web jutsus and new 'sticky gold' techniques.

Naifu also looked a bit different. She wore a navy blue shirt with fishnet underneath and had her green hair cut to be very short. She wore black cargo pants with boots that were iron studded. She had two tantos slung over her back with a large scroll fixated on the small of her back. Suika was about to say something smartassed but had to rapidly dodge as Orochimaru gave the signal to start and a barrage of shuriken headed towards him. He rolled away to dodge them but body flickered away when Naifu used chakra strings to send the shuriken his way again.

He did not get much time to think as another barrage of shuriken headed towards him as soon as he flickered away. As he leapt to the left he was forced to use a substitution with a nearby rock from Ken's wall from earlier. "Ha, is that all you can do, throw shuriken?" he was forced to dodge again from ANOTHER barrage completely controlled by chakra strings. Or that was what he thought until he saw all the shuriken but 3 disappear after hitting the ground. "Wow, so you made shuriken bunshin to trick me into wasting my chakra by dodging. Smart." This time he pulled out a kunai when she sent her next barrage but was surprised when the other shuriken were real too.

The shuriken hit his heart and with a gaping mouth he fell to the ground… right where he turned into water. Suika reappeared on the top of the nearby pond that was made for water style users. Naifu noticed too late that her opponent was forming seals before he made the final one and smirked at her. "Water Style: Wild Water Wave!" he yelled as he put the seal in front of his mouth and a strong stream of water shot towards Naifu. She ducked under it, but that was exactly what Suika wanted as he made a water clone who used the same jutsu from below. She couldn't dodge this one and got hit by it and shot towards the other end of the arena.

It was not over yet however as Suika formed some more seals and touched the wet ground leading to her. "Lightning Style: Thunderbolt," he said in sorrow for a fight ending so soon. The electricity shot towards Naifu and hit her body where it turned into mud. Suika rapidly dispelled his own clones and turned around, forming hand seals. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" while it was not as big as the famous Great Fireball Jutsu, it still formed a decent sized fireball that shot towards the approaching Naifu.

She did not break stride and pulled out a seal from one of her many pockets. She threw it at the flames and the fire seemed to be absorbed into the seal. Jiraiya smirked up in the stands as he recognized it as a Fire Containment Seal that he used often. Naifu did not stop there and pulled out both of her tantos and stabbed both of them into Suika's gut. Or she would have, if a strange golden liquid had not come out of his stomach and solidified before the weapons struck.

Her tantos simply broke as they flew off the hard surface and she was caught in a web that Suika shot at her from his mouth. "Heh, you lose," he said with a smirk while forming hand seals. He put his palms onto the ground and said with a grin, "Earth Style: Earth Prison Jutsu." A large dome appeared over Naifu and closed off with a loud boom. She would suffocate until she passed out which Suika could feel. At least that was the plan…

Instead, Naifu grabbed Suika's feet and brought him below the ground. "Earth Style: Inner Decapitation Jutsu," she said softly as she appeared out of the ground a foot in front of Suika. Before Suika could counter she threw a seal that completely sealed off the victim's chakra onto his forehead. He was left gaping up at the woman as he passed out from chakra exhaustion.

Many people were shocked that she had won, but some people like Guren and Orochimaru easily saw why he lost. Suika had been overconfident and did not use his best techniques, instead using his mediocre ones while Naifu tired him out and made him think that was all she could do. She always had a good supply of seals for every situation and used them expertly to put down her opponent. Suika could probably defeat her eventually in a full on fight but, because of his actions, he was defeated by the smarter person.

As everyone clapped, Naifu simply body flickered back to the stands. She had only needed about 15% of her chakra because of Suika's stupidity. After using her chakra scalpels to cut through the webbing that trapped her she just needed to use that simple D-rank jutsu to escape and incapacitate Suika. She figured the only real reasons her chakra went down at all were the shuriken clones and shuriken shadow clones. There was also the clone she used and the small amount of chakra needed for chakra scalpels, unsealing items, and D-rank jutsus. She sighed as she realized how stupid it was not to let the battle play out some more. Sure she might have lost but the people would be much more impressed…

121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212

Orochimaru sighed in exasperation as he saw Naifu body flicker back to the stands. He would have preferred if she had put on more of a show or at least gotten Suika out of the ground but a win was a win. He looked down at his son and as much as he tried to hide it, Orochimaru still noticed the disappointment on his son's face. He chuckled and rubbed his son's head. "Relax Akuma-kun. The next fight should prove to be the most interesting. Just imagine it, brain vs brawn, one of the oldest styles of fighting in history. Aren't you excited for it?"

Akuma nodded reluctantly but pouted at his father rubbing his head in public. It was just embarrassing. He fruitlessly attempted to move his father's hand before sighing and allowing him to continue ruffling his hair. "I don't know. It will be weird to see my sealing sensei and my taijutsu sensei fight each other. I just don't know who to root for…"

Orochimaru chuckled at his son's predicament as he signaled for a 30 minute break to start. He wondered how Project Falcon was going… it would be a shame if all of his work to get the tournament aired in Konoha was ruined by no-one watching it. Oh well, if that was not enough of a distraction he was sure Kabuto could come up with something, he was a smart kid after all…

121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212

Kabuto snuck around Konoha slowly towards the Hyuga Clan compound. This was the day. After a few years of study and failure, Otogakure had finally created a seal that could counter the Hyuga Curse Seal. Project Falcon was probably the biggest mission ever attempted in any of the villages to his knowledge. Orochimaru had put this plan in motion ever since his son had indivertibly given him the idea. This was the only day they could ever put this plan into motion as the 20 patrollers were all branch members part of the plan and the main branch member supervising them was poisoned earlier at the café he goes to many times.

The plan was relatively simple, but was so risky that no-one had ever had the nerve to try it. Orochimaru wasn't like everyone else. The plan was to unseal all of the guards with a paper seal that was similar to a chakra suppression seal but took all of the chakra out of only the seal, therefore making it useless but not erasing the seal. Afterwards, all 20 guards would create shadow clones to go throughout the clan and erase all branch member seals. And then the fun would start… Kabuto thought with an evil smile. He had always taken great pleasure in giving people what they deserve and actually dreamed of founding something similar to Konoha's Police Force in the future in Oto.

The branch family of the Hyuga numbered at around 500 people while the main branch only had 50 people. With the curse seal, the main branch could always quell any uprising that would ever form but with it gone, the branch family could overtake the main branch with pure numbers. Most would be killed while distracted by the tournament on the radio and Kabuto was thankful that the Hyuga Clan never gave off much chakra while fighting the others so that Anbu would not catch on to the revolt. After the main branch was… taken care of… then Kabuto would use a summoning scroll to summon many earth style ninjutsu users. That was when it got complicated.

The Anbu would no doubt notice the large amount of chakra used for the summoning technique, too large for any Hyuga to use normally. That was why he would have many Hyuga patrolling the wall before he put the plan in motion to explain that they were working on a new clan technique that used a ton of chakra. If the Anbu did not listen, they were ordered to exterminate them and hide them behind the wall. As Kabuto was met outside the wall by one of the guards he decided to go over terms.

"Now, Hyuga-san, Orochimaru-sama wants me to tell you that in return for us erasing the seal, helping you kill the main family, and getting you outside of Konoha and persecution he will need you all to do a few things. At least half of you will be required to join Otogakure, the remaining family will be split into three combat groups all led by a different commander; the Hyuga Medic Unit, Hyuga Archery Unit, and Hyuga Taijutsu Unit, and all information about Konoha will be revealed to him."

The man looked sickened to know that they were making a deal with Orochimaru but he eventually sighed and nodded his head wearily. "To get freedom we will even make deals with the devil…" he mumbled sadly. "However, only 300 of us will be in on the plan, 100 of the others are just too loyal. We will all join our village for protection under one condition," he looked at Kabuto very seriously at this last part. "You will not do harm to the Hyuga heiress, Hinata Hyuga. If Hizashi was willing to give his life for the girl then we will allow her to win. Also, Neji Hyuga will be part of an elite unit that will give him proper training, no exceptions."

Kabuto gave the man an eerie smile and put out his hand. The hyuga looked at it for a long moment before sighing and shaking it. "Good, I am glad that is settled. And do not worry about Neji, he will be put on a team with the heir of Oto himself if I have anything to say in the matter. Here." Before the man could respond, Kabuto handed him a large stack of papers with sealing writing all over the front of it and walked towards the gates. "Now… let's get this party started."
