I don't own Naruto or any of its characters, I'm just a fan I enjoyed the anime but I love the fanfics even more, they made me fall for the whole franchise.
Chapter 73
This is the price of being nice, you help someone and they repay you with betrayal.
Sasuke Uchiha second son of Fugaku Uchiha sighed in the room he found himself in. He had his hands and feet bound with ropes and left on the floor like a worm, that was their first mistake. Second mistake? the exit was a simple wooden door.
The young Uchiha was quick to perform the rope escape technique, one of the mandatory techniques thought in the academy. Using his flexible and acrobatic body to Maneuver in his restraints, the young teen was free after wiggling enough.
"Tsk" The Uchiha sounded out while standing up, he was weaponless. At least his captors were smart enough to disarm him. Walking down the length of the room to reach the door. The boy blinked his dojutsu into activation and with his dojutsu's X-ray vision quality, Sasuke saw through the door and smiled when he the outline of a guard standing right in front of the wooden door.
Performing the jutsu Itachi handed him in exchange for the Fire-style jutsu he declined. Sasuke performed the first lightening style jutsu in his arsenal. 'Boar, Ram, Snake, Horse, Dragon'. Finishing his hand seals in record time he called out the name of his jutsu.
"Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder!" Sasuke performed the jutsu to a tee showing his prodigious status as an Uchiha. Even if a par lower than his older brother.
The Genin dropped into a squat placing the palms of his hands on the floor and released a wave of electricity directed at the door and the man he could spy outside. The user can vary the jutsu's power from a small surge to shock an opponent to a powerful stream of lightning capable of ripping through solid rock.
The guard getting shocked was unlucky because the Uchiha chose the latter. He was fried from the inside out without a sound to vent out the unimaginable pain he felt before his crispy demise.
The wooden door didn't last in the presence of the excessive electrical charge and was quick to be obliterated.
The Uchiha stood from his squat and his hands went into his pockets before he was casually walking out of the ruined door and over the dead guard's corpse.
Sasuke smirked when he saw fear in another guard's eyes, he was young, about a year or two older than Sasuke, or just a very tall 12-year-old with brown hair and brown eyes as well as a scar running across his forehead.
"H-HEL-p….. umm." The boy dropped like a rag doll when he gazed into Sasuke's eyes. The Uchiha walked past him but not before sending a charge of electricity aimed directly at the boy's relaxed heartbeat, stopping the organ in its tracks.
Sasuke was angry, it was hidden well in his cool frown and his Sharingan's hypnotic gaze made it impossible to read his mood. The Uchiha twirled a Kunai in his right hand, the one he somehow swiped from his first victim, and twirled another in his left hand, swiped from his second victim.
Seeing two outlines in his vicinity one about to turn a corner of a hut and the other inside said hut. Sasuke acted quickly, throwing the first Kunai and the second in quick succession. The kunai's met when they reached the corner of the hut and deflected off each other. One went right and the other went left.
The teenager about 15 years of age probably a genin or Chunin of the sound village who approached from the left was unlucky enough to receive a Kunai in his left eye. His scream came out loud and screeched like a siren of pain.
Sasuke sighed, his aim was off, he was aiming for the teen's throat which would have silenced his screams. The Uchiha quickly jumped up and high while performing seals just as the person inside the hut came out in a rush.
"Fire style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" The Uchiha shot out a perfectly calculated ball of flames that hit his target at the perfect temperature to be most effective. A theory Sasuke learned during the first phase of the Chunin exams while cheating from an Iwa genin who was cheating from a Konoha Chūnin in disguise.
The sound-nin was turned to burnt crisp and ashes in a matter of seconds never getting to scream because his throat was parched in seconds.
When Sasuke landed on top of the hut that was starting to catch on fire he jumped up and high once more while going through more hand seals. The Uchiha called out what he learned was his second affinity all along.
"Fire Style: Phénix flame Jutsu!" He shot out many smaller balls of flames from his position in midair aiming each to land on a hut, tent, or makeshift shelter. The final ball of flames was aimed at the screaming boy with a Kunai in his eye socket.
When Sasuke landed he was in a new setting of a burning environment. A moment later he was dashing to find Sasame and maybe not kill her.
The efficiency of an Uchiha came from the combination of being able to read an enemy move for move, and while the Sharingan's X-ray quality was not as detailed as the Byakugan's that could see the tenkentsu in the system, the Uchiha dojutsu could still see an enemies chakra system and capacity.
The fact the dojutsu can predict movements was just a bonus to make its wielders just that much more overpowered.
Place that in the hands of a born killer, a born reaper, and a prodigious ninja and you had who could only be called your everyday merciless death God who seeks blood with his red gaze.

"What do you mean he escaped!?" Sasame flinched back at the outraged voice not directed at her. The person to speak was Arashi.
Arashi has long, smooth, chin-length purple hair and grey-colored eyes. His bangs hang just over his eyebrows. He wears a green short sleeve shirt, but the collar and sleeves are white. He also wears two black arm sleeves on his lower arms and long grey pants.
"I-I don't know A-Arashi-Sama." Sasame slowly looked to Kamikiri, another member of the Fūma Clan. The man was strong but in the face of the most prodigious the Fūma Clan could offer he was a stuttering mess.
Kamikiri has short smooth black hair and dark-colored eyes. He had thick eyebrows. He wore a short sleeve brown shirt with a maroon-colored line running down to the end of the shirt on the right side, a black pair of fingerless gloves, and a grey pair of pants.
The man had a set of scissor pincers on his right arm and a black strap holding it to his arm. He also wears a grey t-shirt under his brown shirt, a black belt to hold up his pants with a silver belt buckle on them. He has had sideburns running down the side of his face to the bottom of his ears.
"Go Find him!" Arashi demanded, slamming his hand on the table he stood next to. Sasame watched as Kamikiri ran outside the hut they were located in.
"Stupid Uchiha's." Arashi swore but deep down he was simply jealous of all that the Uchiha name represented. People feared the Uchiha, revered and shook in their presence. The Uchiha Clan's pride which is their dojutsu was something Arashi wishes he was born with.
"We are Uchiha too, so why do we lack the Sharingan?" Sasame jerked back to reality at the sound of Arashi's voice. The young man sounded contemplative.
"Uh?" Sasame sounded out in her confusion about what her cousin was talking about.
"Never mind Sasame-Chan." Arashi said with a gentle smile aimed at the orange-haired girl who smiled back at him and nodded not noticing the smile never reached her older cousin's eyes.
«««««"»»»»»
"He escaped? Guren must not hear of this." a grotesque, hunchbacked man with buck teeth, grounded out to his companion.
"Do not worry, Guren-Sama left the village this morning with Kimimaru-Sama and the sound four are accompanying Orochimaru-Sama in his endeavors." The grotesque man's companion responded. He is a bald man with long spider-like limbs, he has very thick eyebrows and a scar on his right eye.
"If it is so, we should clean this mess up before they return Jigumo." The grotesque man told his partner.
"Then let us do that Kagerō." Jigumo replied and received a nod from Kagerō the deformed man.
The two males quickly dashed out of the room they were located in and into a spacious hallway heading for the exit in the distance.
«««««"»»»»»
Sasuke reached the biggest building in the village hidden in the sounds and pressed himself against the wall. A second later two figures stepped out in a rush and jumped off in the direction he had just come from.
Quickly leaping inside the building before the door swung back close, Sasuke found himself in a hallway with patterns on its wall that resembled scales. The Uchiha Genin slowly crept through the building while listening for any noises.
For a Hidden Village, Sound had mediocre everything, the village seemed to have no civilians, a limited amount of Shinobi, and even less competent ones. The village was more of an estate with guard dogs.
Sasuke slowly creaked the first door to his right open and peeked inside. There was a stairway leading down, and on the right side of the stairway was a flaming stick which the raven-haired teen took.
"What are u hiding here?" Sasuke mumbled and began his trek down the stairs but not before closing the door behind him.
It was not long before Sasuke reached the end of the stairway and found himself in a dungeon-like room/space filled with cages where many people sat down looking mostly dead than alive.
Sasuke saw people with animal-like limbs, deformations of varying degrees, and regressed body parts some of the captives were alive and others dead.
Sasuke looked at the prisoners and wondered what he should do, if he frees them their protection would fall on him, and they would hold him back.
The Uchiha looked away, deciding he would help them when he was finished with what he needed to do, and took off to the right, dashing down the dungeon with his source of light lighting the way so he does not overuse his Sharingan to see in the dark.
The Uchiha Genin realized he was going the right way when he saw the cages he passed were housing more and more grotesque individuals. Some of them the Uchiha could not identify by gender.
At the end of the dungeon-like underground lair, the young Genin found another wooden door and pushed it open. Sasuke found himself in a room, a Spartan type of room that somehow still managed to look stylish.
Inside the room was a king-sized bed covered in a purple duvet, giant black pillows, and gray sheets. A bookshelf in the corner of the room next to a table and chair standing on a purple carpet.
Sasuke walked in while closing the door behind him and scanned the room again. This was Orochimaru's room he realized with a grunt and smirked before he began his search of anything valuable. Sasuke did not bother hiding his presence as he threw things left and right causing a mess.
Throwing the sheets of the bed to the side Sasuke heard a clinging sound. He quickly scanned the room and spotted a ring bouncing on the floor. He dashed to the accessory and grabbed it in his hand before bringing it close to his face to examine the object.
"Sky." Sasuke read the Kanji engraved in black inside the red gem of the ring. Looking at the ring once more he decided he liked it and placed the item in his pocket before scanning the Sanin's room with his dojutsu. He found a secret safe behind a bookshelf with some kanjis that resembled Fuinjutsu scripts that had chakra running through them.
Sasuke walked up to the bookshelf and pulled on the book he saw had a mechanic leading to the safe. The clogs turned and the hatch opened, revealing a secret compartment in the bookshelf with notes upon notes.
The second son of Fugaku Uchiha smirked deviously when a plan formed in his head that could just earn him the Snake Sanin's ire. He went through hand seals quickly and leaped back while spewing out flames from his mouth.
"Fire style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke shot out a 10 feet tall fireball aimed at Orochimaru's notes on his research and experiments. The Uchiha not knowing the consequences such a move would entitle would be detrimental.
Sasuke's eyes widened when a vortex-like distortion appeared in front of the bookshelf and swallowed his fireball into none existence. In his landing, he reached for a Kunai in his pouch and grimaced when he remembered he was weaponless.
"Ts ts ts ts ts….Bad Uchiha." A deep and broad voice carrying power spoke from nowhere before the distortion in front of the bookshelf stopped and began spinning anti-clockwise. Sasuke felt fear grip him when he realized who was coming out of the distortion.
A second later, Ghost as Sasuke learned to idem him made his appearance known still wearing a swirling orange mask with one eyehole and a new black cloak with red clouds adorning its surface.
"Ghost." Sasuke whispered before steeling his resolve and taking the interceptor fist style, ready for a throw down to the death. Hopefully not his.
"A true Uchiha, always so quick to resort to violence and destruction." Ghost/Tobi said unbothered by Sasuke's Sharingan glare. The masked individual placed his hand on the previously targeted notes and another distortion was there to swallow them up.
"It is better to acquire another's knowledge than destroy it, Sasuke-Kun." Sasuke gritted his teeth when his name was spoken by the man.
"What are u blabbering on about?" Sasuke asked rudely, showing that he was no better than his blonde teammate when it came to showing respect.
"Simply advice, you are much like I was in my youth." The man said placing his hand back to his side while he chuckled from his throat.
"Who are you really?" Sasuke asked feeling that the man's presence was too heavy, like he had a force that was physically weighing down on the young Uchiha's shoulders. Even Itachi did not weigh him down like this.
"I am your ancestor. MADARA UCHIHA." The name spoken gave Sasuke shivers. The name alone seemed to carry such power it paralyzed him for a second but a second later Sasuke was scoffing not buying the story.
"How about a history lesson then?" The masked man said with his eyehole glowing red and gaining Sasuke's curiosity.
«««««"»»»»»
Kamikiri Fūma dashed down the hallway of the Otokage's building heading toward the most critical area for an enemy Shinobi to attack. They were short-staffed on Ninjas due to most of Oto's forces being dispatched toward Sunagakure.
Orochimaru promised their people power and infamy. The Fūma clan would rise once more with the help of the Snake Sanin and Kamikiri Fūma believed the man one hundred percent.
The first clue that someone had gone down Orochimaru's underground chambers was the fact the torch on the right side of the wall was missing. The second was the fact the prisoners Orochimaru was experimenting on to find a way to unlock the Fūma clan's latent ability to activate the Sharingan were active in their own way.
Kamikiri paid them no mind and headed toward Orochimaru's chamber in haste. The Fūma member made it a point to not look at any of the faces in the cages too closely or he might recognize some of them.
He reached Orochimaru's door and kicked it open while throwing a barrage of Shuriken at whoever might be inside.
The Fūma Clan member saw their young prisoner dodge to the right by throwing himself out of the way and rolling away in his landing. Kamikiri did not see anybody else around so he concentrated his anger on Sasuke. He had found one of his students dead with no signs of injury and he knew who to blame.
Kamikiri quickly dashed right, his pincer-like weapons coming to his side to slice the shorter raven-haired boy. Sasuke still weaponless rolled away from the man's diagonal swipe aimed at his stomach.
The young Uchiha took a ready stance and waited for the Fūma member to attack again and when he did he jumped to the side. Kamikiri grimaced understanding that the young Uchiha had experience fighting opponents with longer reach.
The scissor-like pincers Kamikiri wielded is sharp and pointy. The spring of the pincers is connected to his right arm and bicep by a black strip. He uses a white cord tied to the base of each blade and held in the hand, it allows him to use the overly large pincers without much effort or using both hands.
'He hasn't activated his eyes, he is still young too. Does he not have the Sharingan?' Kamikiri wondered as he took the time to assess the Uchiha's appearance and mannerisms.
'He seems distracted.' The Fūma clan member realized spying his opponent's eyes were scanning the room occasionally like he was expecting someone to pop into existence. Kamikiri dashed in once more ready for another trust at the Uchiha Genin who moved in at the last second to get into his guard.
The man expected this and brought his knee up letting it collide with the Uchiha's midsection. His opponent was sent rolling backward with Kamikiri dashing in to land the finishing blow.
"It's over!" Kamikiri said with his pincers coming down to pierce Sasuke but when the Uchiha looked up his Sharingan was active. Kamikiri swore closing his eyes and continuing his attack, hoping for the best.
"Idiot." Kamikiri heard and made it his mission to make space but he was kicked in the chest two times by the soles of the Uchiha's shoes. Kamikiri rolled with the blows and made his space.
"Fireball Jutsu!" Kamikiri only heard the end of the technique which means he dodged a moment too late. The Fūma member found that his brown shirt was catching on fire and he quickly removed it.
The Fūma member tensed his muscles when he saw Sasuke going through hand seals. The Genin dropped into a squat and called out his jutsu.
"Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Murder." A supercharged torrent of Electricity was sent in every direction of the room leaving Kamikiri no choice but to jump up and stand on the ceiling. The Fūma member found his pincers would give him a disadvantage against electricity because of its conducting nature.
Kamikiri frowned, the Sharingan was a hack of great magnitude. Comparing it to a dojutsu like the Byakugan was asking to be called retarded and stupid. The eye of insight and the eye of hypnosis was the Sharingan's only giving grace but when you looked deeper into those two categories you realized that the world was unfair and the world was unfairly biased.
Kamikiri looked at Sasuke Uchiha's feet not planning on making eye contact anymore. The Fūma member knew he was at a disadvantage before he attacked again, blasting himself off the ceiling like a bullet aimed at the raven-haired boy who smirked.
««««««"»»»»»»
Kagerō and Jigumo dashed back toward the Otokage's administrative building in haste. They were delayed because they had to quench the flames eating away at their homes. Luckily the Uchiha did not mind their rice fields.
"Quickly Jigumo, we must hurry." Kagerō, the grotesque man beckoned his partner but got no response from the man, so he stops in his tracks and looks behind him.
"Jigumo!" Kagero called out to his missing partner. The man with spider-like limbs was right behind him a second ago. The area he stood in got quieter until a distortion appeared in space and time a few feet from the sound Ninja.
"Oh no!" Kagerō cried out in horror to find his friend spat out of the distortion, looking like a dead bloody mess with wooden spikes sticking out of his body. Kagerō did not get a chance to question the method used to kill his friend because...
"Hello, Kakashi Hatake." Kagerō tensed when another form appeared from the distortion. A man draped in a cloak with red clouds and wearing an orange mask with one eye hole.
"What the!" Kagero cried out in shock when he was suddenly dragged into the earth until only his head remained. A second later Kakashi Hatake, the famed copy ninja revealed himself by coming out of the earth while facing the masked man.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Kakashi Hatake asked, looking very serious. The Copy ninja did not know why his Sharingan was pulsing but he felt the sensation before when he was visiting the memorial stone 12 years ago.
"Who I am is not important." The masked man replied easily. "All I want is to see an old face." He continued, the man's deep voice was unrecognizable to Kakashi but the laid-back Jōnin shrugged with a lazy exterior.
"I can't take off the mask if you haven't taken me on a first date." Kakashi responded unbothered, Kagerō who was still a head on the ground blinked at the response and wondered what the hell was wrong with the copy ninja of Konoha.
"Rin would have liked that." The masked man said casually and kagerō felt himself choke on the killing intent to manifest like a plague. It froze him in place and held him there, Kakashi Hatake was suddenly very serious.
"I'd advise you to not repeat that name." Kakashi warned.
"Obito then?" Kagerō saw his death flash before his eyes when Kakashi's hand which was already close to him was suddenly encased in lightning that sounded like a thousand birds tweeting.
"You don't listen." The son of the white fang stated he was angry but his posture did not reveal it, nor did his voice. The sign of a true ninja.
"Minato?" Kakashi attacked suddenly, crossing the distance between him and the masked man in seconds. Kagerō quickly released his jutsu which was revealed to be a disguise.
Revealing herself to be a petit girl with lime-colored hair and deep blue eyes, dressed in a white dress and sprouting four chakra wings from her back. Kagerō went through the Ram seal and called out her jutsu just as Kakashi reached the masked man and thrust his arm forward.
"Earth Release: Antlion Technique!" She called out. The technique caused the ground and everything on and around it to be sucked in towards the middle of a large pit, with the focal point being where she cast the technique.
Unaware that Kakashi had somehow phased through the masked man. Kagerō quickly dashed to go collect her friend's corpse and was met with a nasty surprise.
Boom!!!
The Fūma clan Jōnin screamed out in pain when It was revealed Jigumo's body was rigged with an explosive tag that exploded the moment she raised his body from the ground, sending body parts and blood everywhere.
"Predictable emotions." The masked man commented while in a hand-to-hand fight against Kakashi. The two seemed to be evenly matched with the copy-nin not revealing his trump card.
Kakashi landed the first blow which was a straight kick aimed at the masked man's stomach and Kagerō acted once again even if she already sustained some injuries.
"Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique!" The technique allowed Kagerō to silently merge into the earth's surface and move inside as a fish does underwater.
She quickly appeared from the earth like a mirage jumping out with a Kunai aimed at Kakashi who turned on his axis, grabbed Kagerō's offending arm, and broke it in three different places before turning around two times with the female Fūma member in his grasp and threw her at the fast approaching masked man who simply let her phase through him.
"Still as efficient as ever, too bad you couldn't protect Kushina when it mattered most." Kakashi dashed in twirling a Kunai in his hand and throwing it at his opponent. The masked man revealed his own Kunai and deflected the one thrown at him before he met Kakashi halfway.
The masked man swiped his Kunai at Kakashi's throat with the leaf Jōnin swerving away from the sharp weapon and out of reach. Kakashi turned around bringing his elbow around to meet his opponent's masked head but the man swerved in the opposite direction creating space between them.
"You are stalling." Kakashi deduced.
"Am I?" The masked man asked seeming almost happy to be interacting with the copy nin.
Kagerō who had gotten time to recover from being thrown like a rag doll jumped up and high while performing seals even through the pain of a broken arm. 'Snake, Ram, Monkey, Tiger.'
"Fire Release: Mist Blaze Dance Technique!" The Fūma Clan Jōnin created and blew out a flammable gas from her lungs that when it comes in contact with fire or spark ignites into a large fireball.
She ignited the gas by clicking her teeth together where she had replaced two with metallic teeth.
"I will take my leave." The masked man told Kakashi and disappeared in a distortion in space and time while Hatake used the 'Hidden like a mole technique' to hide from the giant flame ball heading his way.
Kagerō landed with her wings fading away and her breathing hard. She knew her chakra capacity was nothing like an Uchiha's and that too many chakra-intensive jutsu drained her quickly.
The Sound Jōnin's eyes widened when she heard a thousand birds tweeting behind her but couldn't react fast enough to avoid what she knew was coming.
She spat out a glob of blood from her mouth and grimaced when she looked down and saw the lightning-encased hand sticking out of her chest. She had no more strength in her body due to the lightning running through Kakashi's hand that paralyzed her in place.
"Rest in peace." Was what was whispered to her before the hand was dragged out of her chest looking clean and unbloody. Kagerō dropped, all along realizing she was more a nuisance to the two males than an actual threat.
Her eyes shut with the Image of Kakashi Hatake dashing toward the Otokage's administrative building where she figured Kamikiri was now located.
«««««"»»»»»
"Wait for me up here." Sasame watched as her precious person, her older cousin dashed down the stairs with great speed while heading towards Orochimaru's chamber. The hope of the Fūma Clan, Arashi of the windmill is said to be prodigious in the art of the Fūma Shuriken.
The Fūma Clan's pride and joy is Arashi's ability with the giant shurikens that are said to be the sharpest thrown weapons in the Elemental Nations. Sasame was proud of her older cousin, and the clan was proud of her older cousin, but her older cousin was not proud of himself.
Sasame found herself unable to stay put disobeying her cousin's words and heading down the stairs.
When they visited the Uchiha grounds in Konohagaru as Kids, the orange-haired girl had noticed how Arashi wanted to be like Itachi Uchiha, the hope of the Uchiha Clan.
He would trail him around, try to mimic his behavior, and move like him, at one point Arashi even tried out a ponytail. Sasame frowned when her memories became bitter, Everything changed when Arashi learned what power meant to an Uchiha and what it meant to a Fūma.
Hope Of The Uchiha Clan.
The title alone carried more weight than Arashi's. To earn a name like that is to be a crop above the rest. At 19 years old, a teenager like Itachi Uchiha already had the same Ninja career as Kakashi Hatake who is almost a decade older than him.
Arashi could not compare to what Itachi weighed. They compared so well before but now Itachi was so far away, Arashi felt he had reached his limits. Orochimaru promised to break those limits, and Arashi was quick to accept.
Sasame did her best to not gaze at the deformed prisoners locked in the cages littering the underground dungeon. This was the price of evolution, Arashi always told her, it was the price of all power.
"I will kill you!!!" Sasame hastened her pace even if by only a margin at the sound of Arashi's angry scream, but a glance in a particular cage had her stopping and choking on tears at the sight of who lay inside dead and deformed.
«««««"»»»»»
Sasuke grimaced, he was already battered and bruised as he dashed out of the way of Arashi's barrage of Shurikens and found himself on the other side of Orochimaru's for a while, broken king-sized bed.
"Arashi Fūma." Sasuke said in a growl recognizing his distant cousin who accompanied the Fūma Clan head in diplomatic visits to the Uchiha clan grounds along with Sasame his younger cousin.
"The Uchiha brat. If I had known it was you they had caught I would have told them to cut off your tongue first." Sasuke smirked at the thought of Arashi's anger and looked to his first opponent Kamikiri, who was in the corner of the room in a sitting position looking battered and bloody on the floor with his head next to his body and pincer-like weapons looking like the culprits.
"Wannabe Uchiha." Sasuke mocked, knowing what buttons to push when it came to Arashi.
"You think I will not kill you." Arashi asked with clear anger before he did a 180 and smirked. Sasuke lost his smirk at that and figured something out about his distant cousin.
"What do I care?" Arashi asked rhetorically seeming unbothered, the Fūma member even shrugging with his hands up.
"Did you think I was gonna cry and bawl my eyes out? Scream into the air and start hating the world like some emotional Uchiha?" Arashi's voice was losing its cool as he spoke but Sasuke kept his cool and examined his opponent with his two tomoe Sharingan.
"I am better than that, I am Fūma, we are the true descendants of Indra!" Arashi's anger rose, Sasuke didn't seem to have to say much because the young man already had a lot bottled inside. Sasuke did wonder who this Indra could be.
"What are you blabbering on about?" Sasuke asked while taking out a Kunai from the pouch he had swiped from Kamikiri's corpse. The Uchiha twirled his weapon and held it in a reverse grip before dashing at his opponent.
Arashi quickly reached into his pouch and pulled out two tags that in a plum of smoke unsealed A Fūma Shuriken. Sasuke before getting into Arashi's extended reach was already letting his Kunai fly at the man's stomach with great force and speed at a close distance.
His active dojutsu was quick to catch on to Arashi's hand tricks that had him holding onto another Fūma Shuriken in his other hand that he used to deflect the Kunai away. Arashi twisted in his axis once and brought his hand up and around to strike the top of Sasuke's head.
Already seeing the attack coming thanks to being able to read the slightest muscle movements. Sasuke leaped back and drew another Kunai before throwing it at his opponent.
"Stop it!" Both males stopped and Sasuke watched how Sasame, the girl who betrayed him deflected his Kunai with her own.
"Hey we are family right, we-we d-don't have to hurt each other right?" The orange-haired Fūma member asked with fearful eyes that ran down tears, obviously the sight of Kamikiri Fūma on the floor was not helping her emotional state any.
"We have to avenge our fallen brethren Sasame, he killed them." Arashi tried to explain and the girl standing in front of him shook her head.
"You are a liar, you don't care." Sasame whispered with tears streaming down her face that Sasuke was privy to because she was facing him.
"What….What are…."
"I heard everything!" Sasame shouted in frustration. "You just want power, you are just like Orochimaru!" she accused still giving Arashi her back.
"I-I saw Hanzaki-Sama in the cages, I-I recognized his red headband," Sasame revealed with a stutter but was unable to see Arashi's eyes lower and become emotionless.
Sasuke saw something in the young Fūma prodigy's eyes and he was quick to blast forward.
«««««"»»»»»
"For a man who can move so fast, I wonder what the secret is to your legendary tardiness." Kakashi already figured that the man running alongside him and phasing through anything in his path was just trying to stall him.
'Is he after Sasuke?' Kakashi wondered finding a stairway leading down and following it at his top speed. At that moment the orange-masked man phased into a wall and disappeared.
'He knows a lot about me.' Kakashi thought reaching the end of the stairway to find himself in an unground dungeon for lack of a better word.
The names the masked man was calling all held a place in the copy ninja's heart as well as their scars. Kakashi did not give the deformed individuals in the cages any mind as he used his tracking ability to head in the right direction.
"I heard your Uchiha teammate was infamous for his tardiness. Did it perhaps rub off on you?" Kakashi passed many cages and behind them, he saw the masked man literally running through the deformed men and women to keep running alongside him.
"Mmh, did you say something? I did not hear you." Kakashi voiced out still dashing forward. The copy ninja received a chuckle he felt was real from the man.
The copy ninja blinked when he remembered Obito's laughing face at that moment. He quickly looked to the cages once more but found he was alone with the deformed people who did not make a sound or cause a ruckus like obedient dogs.
'I will have to talk to Hokage Sama about that guy." Kakashi decide while stopping in front of a kicked-down door only to find Sasuke fighting what looked to be a monster.
Kakashi could only deduce that the monster was of Orochimaru's design. He decided to observe a little.
«««««"»»»»»
Sasuke was not fast enough to save Sasame from Arashi's betrayal which was a literal stab in the back before the Fūma male somehow went ahead to absorb her freshly killed corpse and transform it into an extension of his body.
"Idiot." Sasuke mumbled. Arashi's appearance changed, his body grew a head taller, his muscles got bigger and his skin somehow turned brown. On Arashi's back was Sasame's corpse which now resembled a grotesque figure with a big right arm and a small left arm, the only thing untouched was her face which looked forward in shock.
"W-what is this? I should have gained the Sharingan!" Arashi raged while throwing Sasame's new muscular arm to the side and destroying the wall next to him.
Casualty Puppet is the technique Arashi used to absorb Sasame's still-warm body and Though absorbing allows one to gain access to the absorbed target's techniques, the use of Casualty Puppet can warp the user's mind and body, making the user highly unstable.
Orochimaru did not share most of the negative effects with Arashi only telling him it would increase the potency of his Uchiha heritage.
"Hn, Wannabe Uchiha, have some pride in yourself." Sasuke found Arashi to be the kind of person he did not like. Sasuke was born an Uchiha and that's why he held pride in the clan, if he were an Inuzuka he would do the same.
"I-it must n-not be enough……." Arashi who seemed to be in the process of losing his sanity turned around and gave Sasuke his back dashing towards Kamikiri's corpse.
"I won't let you!" Sasuke dashed in with a Kunai held in hand but had to duck when Arashi's extra limb turned to attack him. The Uchiha rolled with his duck and made it in front of Kamikiri's body.
The Uchiha placed himself in the way of Arashi's approaching form and went through hand seals.
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jut…." Sasuke tsk and jumped back while aiming his jutsu at Kamikiri's body turning it to ashes in seconds. Sasuke's target was Arashi but the young Uchiha saw Sasame's face dropping tears, maybe she wasn't dead.
"AGHHHHHH!!!!!!" Arashi ran into the flames still heading for his fellow Fūma member's corpse.
"He lost it already." Sasuke mumbled going through more hand seals and releasing a stream of lightening that he kept limited to not expand too much chakra. Sasuke was already tired and on the verge of exhaustion, Kamikiri was a strong opponent but Arashi did not seem the same.
Sasuke took his interceptor fist stance and waited for Arashi who had absorbed Kamikiri's body parts.
"NO SHARINGAN!" The monster screamed now having another figure sprouting from its back and not what was originally promised.
"HE LIED!!!" The monster screamed with eyes wide and frantic. Kamikiri's face appeared to look relaxed and dead while his body became brown and his left arm got muscular and big.
"Sharingan." The monster said when it laid eyes on Sasuke's dojutsu and attacked. For one it was slow, Sasuke dashed left and picked up Arashi's discarded Fūma Shurikens. The monster slid to a stop clumsily and dashed at its enemy once more.
Sasuke ran, jumped, and threw. The Fūma Shuriken traveling with great accuracy and precision aimed at Sasame's connection with Arashi's body. Sasuke frowned when the shuriken bounced off the hard-as-rock flesh.
The Genin felt like he should just cut his losses and kill Sasame along with Arashi but one look at the doorway and seeing Kakashi there observing was all Sasuke needed to refrain from using that idea.
'Madara said Kakashi would not teach me anything unless I was going to use it to protect those important to me.' The Uchiha would have rolled his eyes if he was not too cool for that.
"Fine." Sasuke stated and dashed toward the second discarded Fūma Shuriken before tying ninja wires to the sharp weapon and taking a ready stance. Sasuke threw his weapon and quickly went through hand seals.
"Lightening Style: Electromagnetic Murder!" Sasuke sent electricity through the ninja wire and transferred the electric surge to the Fūma Shuriken, encasing the projectile weapon in electricity and sharpening it further.
Sasame's deformed corpse dropped when it was cut free and Arashi screamed in pain. Sasuke dashed toward his deformed distant cousin's downed form and picked her up bridal style before looking to the copy ninja and nodding in his direction.
Kakashi nodded and moved, Sasuke kept his Sharingan active the whole time Kakashi fought and less than 10 seconds later Arashi dropped dead on the floor of Orochimaru's room. Sasuke deactivated his eyes and looked down at Sasame who cried silently, her condition was not reverting.
The young girl looked broken and depressed as she silently cried away her frustration, pain, anger, guilt, and sadness.

It was hours later that Kakashi and Sasuke were leaving Otogakure. On their way out they realized every single prisoner was slaughtered. Kakashi informed Sasuke another individual was infiltrating the village but Sasuke did not share that he knew and already made contact with the man twice.
Sasame revealed she would commit suicide not wanting to be the last of her kind and looking so deformed with no legs, a muscular right arm that was too big for her new body, and a baby-like left arm that did not respond to her brain signals.
She thanked Sasuke for saving her and stopping Arashi in his hunt for power but the revelation that their missing clan head was also in those cages with many of her clansmen made her regret not trying harder to convey her distrust of the snake Sanin.
BOOM!!!!
Sasuke refrained from looking back at the Explosions rocking Otogakure courtesy of Sasame seeking revenge after hearing that all her clansmen were dead. A promise of power led them to become test subjects to the snake Sanins' thirst for power. Sasame said she would take Otogakure out with her.
"You did your best." Kakashi said also not looking back at Otogakure. The man was particularly serious and Sasuke figured it was because of the masked man claiming to be Madara Uchiha.
'The Naka Shrine.' Sasuke thought with curiosity plaguing his mind. The masked man told him the secret of the Uchiha's power was located there but only the strongest Uchiha could read all that is written inside.
"I guess you earned yourself the right to learn the Chidori." Kakashi told Sasuke who turned his head to stare up at Kakashi in shock.
"Congratulations." Kakashi simply said and walked past Sasuke who stood in place for a few seconds before smirking and jogging after Kakashi Hatake of the Sharingan. Resting on Sasuke's left hand on his index finger was the ring he had stolen from Orochimaru's lair.
Authors note:
Damn, next chapter time skip and the start of our Chunin exam finals with many cogs twisting and many plots turning. The Fūma clan is now extinct thanks mostly to becoming Orochimaru's test subjects because they were the closest to blood to the Uchiha and kidnapping an Uchiha in Konoha would be silly and very dangerous.
Sasuke earned himself the right to learn the Chidori because he prioritized saving Sasame than kill her along with Arashi who had gained physical strength but lost speed, intelligence, and his ability to perform jutsu.
Everybody says yeah...
A UFO CRASHED ON MY REVIEWS SECTION AND TOLD ME MY CHAPTER WAS NOT UP TO PAR WITH PREVIOUS CHAPTERS SO I WENT BACK AND ADD/REMOVED OTHER THINGS.
The Sharingan does not have an actual ability to see through solid objects to spy what is behind said object.What it does have is the ability to perceive chakra even behind solid objects.
An example is like an X-ray machine being able to see ur skeletal system but not perceive the blood and organs all around it.
Mmmh just realized I made a mistake somewhere which will contradict this statement I'll fix it now...
