Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
It had been some time since he had been in this base. It was one of the few remaining bases that he had left which was located in The Land of Fire. Having not set foot in it for years since it was too close to Konoha but now he was back in it for the first time.
Torches lit the walls of the room as Orochimaru made his way, walking through the base a snake smile on his face. "To think I would wind up back here. Oh well." He said with a chuckle as he walked on. In the room was several jars and tubes as this was a laboratory for his minor experiments.
He was alive again, having brought back to the world of the living. He knew that one day he would very well die before his work was completed, so he had a backup plan put in place. Using it to restore himself so that he could live and continue his work. "Even when you attempt to strike out on your own, you still work for me Sasuke." He said with a chuckle as the irony was not lost on him.
Orochimaru looked around the base as there was no lights or electricity as only torches on the wall provided light for him as he made his way. "It seems that I shouldn't waste this new opportunity. I still have much work to do." He said to himself. "I may not have any followers this time around but no matter."
He could just as easily start again, it would take a few months if not a year to get back to where he was before on his work but he had time on his side. He had been given a free pass by them to experiment as their gratitude for his actions in the war.
Orochimaru stopped as he brought a hand up to his chin as he pondered what he should start with. Before his untimely illness that had lead to his first demise, he had been quite close before. "But I'll be needing bodies, live ones to work on it." He said with a shrug of his shoulders. "No matter, the war has created vast confusion throughout the entire land. I'm sure I can get a few volunteers who nobody would concern themselves if they disappeared. Vagabonds and those with no family or friends." He said as already ideas for his newest projects were filling his twisted mind.
A sound then caught his attention from behind. Turning around, Orochimaru looked and saw someone standing there having entered the base standing in the doorway as he saw who it was.
"Ah, if it isn't the pariah turned hero of the war." Orochimaru said as he looked on. Standing in the doorway of the base, was Naruto. "Whatever do I owe the esteem pleasure of having you join me?" He said with a facade of a smile as he gave a deep bow to Naruto. "I would offer you refreshments but I'm afraid I have nothing here suitable for your tastes." Orochimaru said to him as he raised his head back up to look at Naruto
Naruto said nothing in response as he looked on at Naruto which surprised Orochimaru slightly. He knew the boy, he would've responded in an impulsive matter of some sort of manner due to his jest. But instead he had said nothing.
"Are you here because you are worried that I'm still after his body?" He asked him. "Worry not, I have no interest in it now." He said with an amused smile. "I am quite surprised you are not out celebrating, or perhaps are you tired from having people slapping your back and heaping praise on you?" He said to Naruto.
Again, Naruto said nothing in response as he stared ahead at Orochimaru who frowned in annoyance as the boy wasn't acting like his usual self.
"Did I need snakes to come out of my nose to get a reaction out of you Naruto-kun?" He asked dryly. "Because I'm quite tired of this game, if you have nothing to say then leave because I have much that requires my attention right now." He told him as he then turned around to walk to one of the containers.
Suddenly, before Orochimaru could react, a sharp searing pain erupted in his lower back to his spine.
A deep lacerating cut was shown on his back, as he had been cut from behind. Slashed deeply cutting through his tunic and past his flesh and into his spine.
He barely had time to scream in pain as he felt another deep slash, across his shoulders as a sickle was shown having cut him. Having been wielded by Naruto who had used the weapon to unexpectedly assault him with.
Orochimaru tried to say something, anything when Naruto spoke up.
"Zaku Abumi." Naruto said suddenly calling out a name.
An image then appeared in Orochimaru's mind when he said the name remembering it. That of a boy wearing headgear and a yellow shirt with the kanji for death on it. He held out his arms spreading his hands wide and let loose with a powerful gust of wind from his palms
"Kin Tsuchi." Naruto then spoke as he slashed him across the arm, slicing through it and cutting it off at the elbow as the limb fell to the floor landing there.
A kunoichi was shown having remembered her name. A girl with long black hair that ended at her feet with a purple ribbon attached at the bottom of it. She wielded in her hand several senbon that had bells attached to them.
"Dosu Kinuta." Another slash across his other arm, cutting through the nerves and muscle as it hanged limply unable to move
Another ninja appeared in Orochimaru's mind. A shinobi whose's entire face except for a small portion of his right eye was heavily bandaged standing in a hunched over position. He wore on his back a large fur bundle and wore on his right arm a metal gauntlet with holes in it.
Naruto slashed him across the shoulders with the sickle as Orochimaru fell to his knees, unable to speak or talk as Naruto using his other arm to hold him in place raised the sickle up and attacked Orochimaru with it. With each blow and cut he made, he spoke a name.
"Jirobo."
A large heavyset ninja with a mohawk was shown.
"Kidomaru."
A tanned figure with multiple spider limbs was shown.
"Sakon, Ukon."
Twin conjoined brothers with grey blue hair were next to be seen.
"Tayuya..." Naruto said and anger flashed into his eyes as he spoke the name.
A girl with long red hair wearing a hat was shown, she was seen playing a flute. Unaware of her true lineage and family as he had stolen her away before she knew the truth of her family.
"Kimimaro Kaguya."
The last of The Barbarian Clan was seen. The one who was most devoted to him and willing to push his dying body to lengths not though capable. A young man with white hair and two red dots on his head. On his chest he had a Cursed Seal that was placed by the man who had discarded him once he no longer had any of him.
"Arashi, Kagero," Naruto said as he then spoke several names. Those of The Fuma Clan, whom he had manipulated and deceived into following him on the context and belief that he would save their clan and restore them beyond being rabble. When in truth their only purpose was to be fodder for him
"Anko Mitarashi." Naruto said his voice full of venom as he spoke the name loudly.
A Kunoichi with purple hair was seen. The girl who at one time, had thought of Orochimaru as a Father to her and he had repaid her trust by making her the first to be branded with The Cursed Seal. Abusing her trust and devotion to him as in the end like all the others, even she was nothing more than a tool for him to use and then toss away once she was of no more use to his goals.
Naruto stood there with no remorse, this was for everyone who had been hurt and betrayed by him. When he had saw him during the war, having been resurrected and back from the dead, he had made a vow that Orochimaru would not live to see the sun set as he had followed after him once he had recovered and rested from his wounds. Having told no one of what he was going to do as this was a task he was undertaking all by himself.
Naruto brought the weapon up to his throat and then slit it, cutting his throat all the way without a pause, severing the flesh as blood poured from Orochimaru's neck as he fell forward onto the floor, laying there on the ground in his last moments alive
The life left Orochimaru's golden eyes forever, bringing his rebirth back to a sudden end, as his soul departed his body and went down. Down, deep into the darkest and coldest pits of Hell, to his final resting spot, where he would be tortured for all eternity by the spirits and souls of all whom he had manipulated, deceived and harmed who would have their vengeance at last for what he had done to them.
Naruto looked on as he then grabbed one of the torches on the walls as he set the body and base aflame. Destroying Orochimaru's body, making it so that not one single trace of The Snake Sannin remained. So that this time, Orochimaru could not cheat death and come back once again as Naruto set the entire building on fire, destroying all of his experiments, notes and research. Eradicating all of his knowledge so that the Cursed Seal would never again be used to torture another human.
A short while later, Naruto was seen outside the base looking on as it was now cinders, having been fully destroyed by the fire. Having watched it all burn down as he had stood there for over an hour as he watched the flames, not moving from the spot until there was no more left.
Some may question why he had done this but Naruto had made his decision at what he had to do and be burdened with it for the rest of his life.
Turning around, Naruto left the ruins of the base as he had finished up the last loose end of the war as he returned home.
