It's been 1 year since that moment. The moment that he and Naruto freed everyone from the Infinite Tsukuyomi and after everything was back together again, he's been imprisoned since.
Naruto tried his absolute hardest to persuade Kakashi, who was the new Sixth Hokage, to free him. It was to no avail though because Kakashi deemed him too dangerous to be roaming around even if he had switched a new leaf. The villagers and everyone else even agreed with him. Sakura was beyond heartbroken and devastated about it, but she eventually moved on from the situation..Sasuke convinced her to for her own sake. Recently she visited him and told him she was finally seeing someone, so that was good for her.
He actually didn't blame anyone, but himself for his predicament..to be honest he didn't expect anything less from the Hidden Leaf Village. He would have done the same thing.
What amused him is the fact they thought that the seals on his eyes and the restraints they put him in would well..restrain him
Unfortunately for them, they thought wrong.
He would occasionally replace himself with a Shadow Clone and train in another dimension. After all, he couldn't get rusty or afford to have lost his strength. Regular Shinobi were oblivious and clueless to the clone and everything would flow smoothly.
Shinobi like Naruto, Kakashi, and Sakura though knew if it was a clone, so days when they would visit, he would be there.
He definitely used that time to learn how to use Senjutsu. Fortunately for him, it paid off.
Right now, he was even stronger than that time he stated he was the strongest in the world.
No one knew that fact except him because he suppressed his Chakra to the maximum.
So even though his circumstance may have looked depressing and despairing to others, to him this was a free vacation in a sense.
"Oi bastard."
Well look who decided to show up.
"Hn Loser." Sasuke responded back to Naruto and 'faced' him.
"There still haven't been any progress with getting you out of here. Kakashi Sensei seems adamant on you staying." Naruto said with a noticeable dejection to his tone.
"..." Was Sasuke's silent response.
"I know..it's just hard ya know? With everything that's going on, it's like they want you to stay in here forever." Naruto said.
"I wouldn't be surprised..I'm in here while the real criminals roam free. Quite the irony is it?" He decided to respond this time. He referred to the village elders. His clan and his brother still haven't been done justice.
Naruto's head hung low. "Yeah..I know Sasuke. Trust me I've done my best."
He decided to change the subject. "How's you and the Hyuga?"
Naruto's head snapped upward at that. "You mean Hinata? We're still close friends of course..why?"
'How dense can the Loser be?' Sasuke thought. He guessed Naruto would get it eventually. "Nothing..nothing at all. Anyways thank you..for everything Naruto." He said with gratitude.
Naruto smiled widely at that. "Anytime Sasuke. Well I gotta go now since I've got some paperwork to fill out. I should be Hokage real soon!" He yelled excitedly.
Sasuke grinned at that. He was happy for his brother in all but blood. "Good luck." He replied.
"Thanks Sasuke. I'll see you later." Naruto said and waved at him. Sasuke nodded back.
To be honest Naruto and Sakura were the only two who regularly visited him, but Team Taka have paid him visits before.
Orochimaru even secretly implanted Jugo's cells into him so he could always draw in Natural Energy. This boosted his training with Senjutsu to the max. Now he even had Senjutsu Chakra. He was basically the Sage of Six Paths now, especially since he created Yang Release through the Hashirama Cells that were already implanted into him.
He had his arm back too..unknowingly to others.
'It's time to get back to training.' He thought as he did his regular routine of replacing himself with a Shadow Clone.
He nodded and summoned a dimensional portal, but this time something unexpected happened..
His eyes widened as his body was pulled into the portal before he could register it happening.
After Sasuke was no longer seen and his clone dispelled.
-Meanwhile-
"Is that all you needed pipsqueak? I'm ready to get back to doing my tricks." Great Red grunted out with annoyance.
"You can leave now." Ophis stated as she stared fondly at their work.
"Remember your promise." Great Red growled out before flying away.
Ophis scoffed. She would leave him alone for now..this was way more important anyways.
What was in front of her was a pure black and scarlet snake created from both hers and Great Red's power.
Whoever consumed the snake..could possibly end up being stronger than the both of them.
But she needed a body..she needed someo-
Ophis's thoughts paused as a dimensional portal opened up above her and someone then dropped out of it.
She caught the person as he landed in her arms.
Her eyes widened with surprise at the overwhelming power and pressure she felt emitting from him.
What was even more shocking is that she could tell that most of it was suppressed..
How could a human have power that far surpassed hers and Great Red's?
She looked at his perfect and handsome sleeping face.
She couldn't help but to smile. A genuine smile that she haven't smiled since Great Red interrupted her silence.
"Yes..you will do." She said with a small hint of eagerness and excitement in her tone.
She rubbed his face and immediately gained a look of curiosity at something else she felt.
"A Sacred Gear? Not just any in fact, one of the thirteen Longinus with the spirit of the Welsh dragon Ddraig." She said, her eagerness and excitement increasing even more.
She couldn't wait to control and use him for her own purpose..to drive that stupid lizard outside from her home. Even though she did make a promise to Great Red to stop nagging him about it, she still very much wanted him gone.
Before she began, she also tried to search through his memories, but his mental fortitude and reinforcement was too strong for even her to break through. She decided to just ignore it for now and start the process.
The pure black and scarlet snake slithered on top of his chest. It then was absorbed into him. To add even more power and implement more of her control, she placed a deep chaste kiss on his lips. More of her pure power of infinity was absorbed into him.
She released from his lips and was surprised to see glowing red and purple eyes staring back at her.
-Sasuke pov-
Sasuke could say he had been in many bizarre and strange situations, but this one actually slightly surprised him.
Was it the fact he just got kissed by what looked to be a young girl?
Yes
Was it the fact that he could feel a newer more powerful and immeasurable energy within him?
Yes
Was it even the fact that he could feel himself absorbing in..well whatever the hell the Natural Energy of this place was?
Yes and Yes
How should he go about this..his old self would've definitely decapitated the young girl with no hesitation, but he was a different person now.
Way different in fact. Something intriguing he noticed, was that the young girl herself had massive power within her and there was another power of similar or even more power nearby. Interesting.
"You're awake."
He could hear her voice speak to him. It sounded curious with a hints of interest.
"Who are you and where am I?" The Last Uchiha said, wanting answers. He realized he was in her arms and immediately leaned upright.
"I'm Ophis the Ouroboros Dragon and you're in the Dimensional Gap." Ophis answered immediately.
Dragon? Dimensional Gap? Huh?? This was definitely the result from being sucked in forcefully by his own portal. This had to be a new dimension, he was sure of it.
"Are you going to kill him now?" Ophis questioned.
The Last Uchiha raised an eyebrow at that. "Kill who?" He questioned back with curiosity.
Ophis gestured upwards. "Great Red. It was my will for you to kill him when I gave you a portion of my power." She said.
'Well that explains the difference in energy I feel inside of me.' Sasuke thought. He was still curious about one thing though. "What do you mean by your will?"
"As in you are mine to use and control whenever." Ophis replied matter of factly.
"..." She was met with silence in response.
"Did you not he-" Ophis was interrupted by the iron grip on her neck.
Sasuke was no one's puppet. Just because he switched a new leaf didn't change that fact. Before he killed Ophis, he wanted to go through her memories first. His Dojutsu activated and he did just that.
After a couple of minutes, he released Ophis. Ophis healed from his attack almost immediately and looked at him with confusion and curiosity.
"Was it something I said?" She asked genuinely.
Sasuke temporarily ignored her as he contemplated what he had just seen. 'A new dimension' was an understatement. This place was filled with new characters of power, new power systems, and was way more modern than the Elemental Nations.
Ophis herself was indeed a dragon and she was actually not a young girl in the least, but a being of thousands of years of age and 'Great Red' was the same way. One major curious subject he found out about was the Shinto Faction. His techniques were basically alive and real living people. He wondered if he would ever meet them and if he had a certain connection to them.
Anyways, back to Ophis. He couldn't really blame her for the way she acted because it was basically her thought process and what she held to be true.
"You're good. I'm Sasuke Uchiha. I'm curious Ophis, if I killed Great Red, what would you do for me?" The Last Uchiha asked her. He already knew what her answer would be, but she didn't need to know that. Apparently Ophis valued her 'home' and silence so much to the point she would do anything to have it back in her hands.
What fascinated him about the Dimensional Gap is the fact that it existed between Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld, so basically he could technically travel between the three. Earth would be a good first start. Also, this 'nothingness' within the Gap been absorbing into him since he awakened. He wondered what this meant and what it would do to his body.
"Whatever your heart desires.." Ophis answered without hesitation.
Sasuke thought about it for a second and an ingenious plan entered his mind. He innerly smirked. "I'll fulfill your request. I hope you stick to your word." He said while activating his Dojutsu and looking at Ophis.
"Of course." Ophis responded with a nod and floated backwards.
The Last Uchiha then stared upwards at Great Red as he started to approach him.
He remembered that he also had a Sacred Gear now, according to Ophis's memories. Once he got completely settled in, he would speak to the Red Welsh Dragon himself. He felt avid about the conversation they would have.
'Time to get his attention.' He thought with a dangerous smirk.
He blared out his power and even he was surprised at the tremendous pressure created from him doing so. He wasn't even close to full power, or even half, but the pressure created said otherwise.
Great Red stopped doing his tricks completely and focused his attention on the massive power that came out of nowhere.
'A human? But how can one possess such power??' He thought and decided to see for himself. He flew down in front of the him.
"Who are you human?" He boomed with curiosity in his tone.
"I'm here to kill you." Sasuke ignored his question and got straight to the point.
"You arrogant bug. Forget what I asked how about you just-" Great Red swiped his large claw down at Sasuke. "Die!!"
Hymp. Sasuke jumped in the air to dodge the hit and summoned his Perfect Susanoo forth, but he was immediately surprised at its changes.
It was now scarlet, purple, and silver. It also looked more draconic in nature. It was taller and looked more stronger like it received an enhancement. All in all, it was like if his Perfect Susanoo fused with a dragon of this world.
Great Red and even Ophis stared at the grandiose construct in front of them with emotion words couldn't explain.
"Begone." The Last Uchiha stated with ending authority and summoned his Susanoo bow forth and launched an arrow at Great Red.
-Cutscene-
Regrets.
Sasuke could say he had plenty of them.
Killing his beloved brother
Trying to kill the members of Team 7 and hurting them inside and out
Being blindly manipulated and used
Even not finishing his tomato soup before he was literally pulled into this world.
But asking Ophis to join him in his journey after he put her in a Genjutsu to make her believe Great Red was 'dead' was definitely in his top ten.
It's not that she was bad company no not at all.
"What's a vagina?"
The Last Uchiha facepalmed at that.
It was the constant questions she asked because she basically had the mindset of a child.
Well at least this new journey wouldn't be boring he supposed.
As he released his hand from his face, he looked at it to see that it was much smaller than normal.
He himself looked more younger than he normally was. It was thanks to a suggestion from Ophis.
He was now around the age of 11-12 and had on the same attire he wore in the Chunin Exams. He gave his thanks to Ophis for that.
With the age decrease also came a power decrease and he was now as strong as when he first awakened his regular Mangekyo Sharingan which was still impressive, but he had a long way to go to reach his former strength he was just at.
He was glad about it though because the extra time will be used for training, mastering, and refining his current techniques and even his new techniques.
By the time he reached that age again, he would definitely be beyond that strength and power.
"It's the lady part between your legs Ophis." He answered her as he shook his head and kept walking.
He and Ophis were approaching a town in Japan that looked to be about medium sized in fact.
Why this particular town?
Well it was because he sensed the energy of a Fallen Angel inside of it and was curious to see who exactly the person was. It was strange..because as he neared the energy, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Well..here goes nothing.
