Disclaimer: Kishimoto owns Naruto but he prefers to own Sasuke

Fuck my life.

And fuck me sideways.

I knew I would regret this; I knew it, and yet I did it.

Fucking Suigetsu. He was truly an asshole in every sense of the word.

I always believed that the infamous cockblocking was only a fantasy of anime and books, yet it literally had to happen to me.

Karin locked the door, so any normal person wouldn't be able to enter and interrupt us but Suigetsu wasn't a normal person by any means, so the moment he saw the door was locked, he didn't knock or ask he simply destroyed the door and caught us in the middle of the act.

Karin was so into the act; she completely ignored her sensory abilities picking up Suigetsu closing in.

Karin's screams were so loud that I felt like my eardrums had exploded, and probably the entire prison heard her very well. On the other hand, I got up, and as fast as possible, I tried to put on my clothes, my face hot from embarrassment.

It was impossible to hide it no matter how much I tried; I got caught in the act. And the shame was, in simple terms, impossible to bear.

And for the cherry on top, the asshole fell on his ass laughing without any hint of stopping; he laughed and laughed and laughed. Even though both of us were already fully clothed, he was still laughing his ass off.

Karin was as red as her hair of embarrassment, and Suigetsu didn't make it any better. She snapped and stomped his face as hard as she could, but the bastard being made of water was immune to her attacks and kept laughing.

I only brought a hand to my face to cover and hide from the embarrassment and left the room; I needed air to cool myself down and rethink a way to save face.

I reached the outside of the prison greeted by the sun, and there I took a seat on the ground, completely ignoring the stench.

In that lapse of time, I was able to think with a clear mind and realize that Karin chakra almost fixed my problems. Despite no longer having headaches, my head feels rather heavy, as if I drank a little too much the day before. But my thought process became much better than a couple of days ago, a much better condition to accept the sudden influx of memories I had to process.

I couldn't tell if it was a surprise or not, but Sasuke memories were practically the same which I could remember, from the Uchiha Massacre to the very moment Orochimaru tried to steal his...my body.

Recalling other memories centered on Team 7; Naruto the same obnoxious brat, Sakura the same childish girl, and Kakashi, the same lazy one-eyed teacher.

However, it did catch my attention a couple of inconsistencies with the timeline; Gaara was stopped before he could unleash his Bijuu, for example. Jiraiya was very much present in Naruto's life. Itachi and Kisame didn't precisely attack Konoha; they remained outside the walls and faced Jiraiya in combat first before running away. So Sasuke wasn't put under the horrible genjutsu again; instead, he was beaten down by Kakashi over and over again for even thinking about going for Itachi.

There were a couple more inconsistencies, but since I could analyze in detail each event at a later date, I opted to meditate so I could understand and assimilate all my new knowledge in chakra.

And to my surprise and excitement, it was effortless to understand and assimilate most of it, like remembering how to ride a bicycle after a while. I didn't know how it was possible, but I didn't care; it was like the heavens sent me a gift, and I was going to accept it with a smile and open arms fully.

But my excitement died down when Karin came to me and surprised me with a hug from behind and grumbled incoherent words which I couldn't understand.

Moments later, Suigetsu appeared with a shit-eating grin and patted my shoulder a couple of times before walking away, leaving us behind.

And so we left with Karin guidance to reach the next facility where Juugo was being held captive, but unlike before we traveled as shinobis.

And the experience of jumping branches at high speed was phenomenal. No wonder Suigetsu was so bored walking for days; nobody would walk long distances if they had the opportunity to jump and move like us.

When we reached the mountain, Karin warned us that she felt many chakra signals scattered around and moving.

We kept walking until we could see the facility and many humanoid deformed beasts in its surroundings, roaring and fighting among themselves.

"These people don't seem to be as friendly as the others." Suigetsu commented as we watched how a group of those madmen tied an unfortunate man to a pole and used it as a piñata.

Karin averted her gaze.

"Of course, they wouldn't; this place had research purposes, and with the news that you spread, nothing is holding them down. Every single one of them had deep grudges against the guards in this place; it would be a miracle if we can find one of them alive." Karin immediately explained.

I looked again at the scene, and the poor bastard wasn't around, but another poor bastard was tied on the pole and received the same treatment as the last one.

"What a bunch of mindless beasts," I said with enough reason; rather than escaping, they preferred to remain and start a macabre celebration.

"My favorite type." Suigetsu casually spoke with his sadistic grin.

I sighed; I tried to remember if he had a trait about always looking for a fight. However, when I looked at the scene, a couple of those deformities were looking at us.

I felt a hand on my shoulder pulling me to the side.

"They've noticed us," Karin whispered to my ear.

I shook her off and rolled my eyes; it was obvious that they noticed us. We weren't exactly hiding from them, to begin with.

"How annoying, but it had been some time since I practiced my moves; this will be a good warm-up," I commented nonchalantly; however, under my face of indifference, I was excited to finally be able to use Sasuke's strength as my own.

"Cocky, are we?" Suigetsu turned to see me with his cocky smile.

"Aren't you?" I shot back.

His smile once again twisted into a wicked grin as he grabbed the handle of his legendary sword. "Heh, let's see who can bring down more."

On the other hand, I unsheathed my katana and slowly walked towards the mass of failed experiments.

"Err...I will be cheering you on, Sasuke-kun!" Karin yelled before disappearing with a gust of wind to who knows where.

I really couldn't blame her since she was no fighter, at least a fighter of our strength.

Suigetsu rushed at the crowd, swinging his massive sword, sending many flying as a trail of their blood followed. I maintained my pace, but the other side was not patient and rushed to meet me in combat-ready to rip me apart.

The very first had a massive claw instead of an arm and, as expected, tried to grab me with it yet I only sidestepped and placed the sharp end of my blade on his path, cutting his stomach. It didn't take seconds for him to fall to the ground screaming in agony; with the memories fused, I was somewhat indifferent, as if hollow regarding life and death; his screams of agony didn't faze me at all.

Of course, the only one didn't stop the rabble; it only fueled their unrestrained rage. People of all shapes and forms came from every direction, yet in my eyes, all of them moved very slowly, and I didn't activate the Sharingan.

The gap in strength was abysmal.

Unconsciously I smiled.

My fight wasn't memorable, it was repetitive, and I could even call it boring.

It could be resumed in dodge and counter over and over again.

If they tried to cut my head, I would cut theirs; if they aimed for my arm, then they would no longer have an arm, and so on.

I turned to see Suigetsu for a moment, and with a single glance, I could tell he was having a lot of fun spinning that giant blade; better said, he was laughing while killing them in cold blood.

When my gaze returned to my fight, a massive hulk of mass was already in front of me with both ridiculous-sized arms were up in the air and instantly came down.

It didn't even scratch me as I jumped away from the impact, which, by the looks of how it destroyed the ground, it had the potential to squash any human to a pulp.

After landing on my feet, I was able to get a better look at my new opponent, a mass of flesh; it was a fitting description for what used to be a human. It used both hands to move like a gorilla, since his legs were comically small to carry that weight.

The thing let out a thunderous roar and rushed at me, the other monstrosities remaining behind as spectators of our fight.

It was highly predictable; even without experience, I could predict his every move, but unlike the others, I couldn't block any of his attacks if I wanted to remain in one piece; his sheer strength was abnormal, every missed hit, leaving a crater behind.

I knew I couldn't keep evading his attack forever, but getting close would be risky, and I had the feeling that my katana wouldn't be able to do much damage to him, so a jutsu would do.

I didn't meditate enough to remember all from Sasuke's jutsu arsenal, and it could be dangerous if I were to try them without actual practice, but I do perfectly remember his signature move; after all, it was impossible to forget since many teenagers loved Sasuke's edginess so much that they would do the Chidori every time they could to look cool...I used to be part of that group as well.

So cringe, dammit.

Moving on, I looked at the thing that was panting for air; it was my opportunity.

Without wasting any other, I sheathed my katana and did all the hand seals in quick succession; soon after, I could hear the chirping birds coming from my hand.

I couldn't lie; it was amazing to look at the real Chidori in my hand.

I looked at my opponent again before rushing at him with my Chidori ready.

It also rushed to meet me midway and raised one arm to squash me like a bug.

But it was too late; he was already within the range of my Chidori.

"CHIDORI!"

My entire hand was buried in the mass of flesh as it was butter before the lighting show began; the electrical discharge started covering the whole body in lightning as it screamed in agony.

Slowly, I removed my hand from his chest and noticed the charred hole I had left.

I could smell the scent of burned flesh coming from it.

The mass hulk slowly fell to the ground to be received by the cold embrace of death.

"Mo-monster…" One of the spectators stammered the word.

I could only smile; being the overpowered Sasuke Uchiha was genuinely fantastic.

"Ironic." I grabbed the hilt of my katana and unsheathed once again, ready to draw more blood; the remnants of the horde needed to be dealt with.

However, they run away screaming in all directions.

I sighed in mild disappointment; I kind of wanted to keep experiencing the overwhelming feeling of domination. But I wasn't going to bother to chase every single one of them.

Before I could sheath my katana, a maimed body fell from the sky, crashing in front of me as I heard laughter getting closer.

"And with that, I scored 30! What about you?" Suigetsu came walking with his sword bathed in blood, wearing his wicked grin.

"I stopped counting after the fifth," I replied quickly, but in reality, I didn't count how many I'd killed.

"That's very lazy on your part, so I win by default!" He exclaimed very excitedly.

Karin came out from her hiding spot between the rocks. "That was the last of them, right?"

"Yes." We both replied in unison.

Karin held her chest and sighed in relief. "If that's the case, then follow me; Juugo is contained in solitary under many locks." She quickly took the lead.

The research facility had a similar structure to the prison, but slightly different. The research facility had its monotonous walls painted in red and a couple of mutilated bodies scattered throughout the hallways.

The prisoners massacred everyone inside without a hint of mercy.

But we remained unfazed by the grim scenario; Karin only kicked a half rib cage from the way and moved forward with us following behind; she only complained that blood is almost impossible to remove and she would need to buy new boots.

On the other hand, I didn't notice how much blood was on my clothes, but her comment did bring my attention and noticed my upper clothes remained clean, but I couldn't say for the rest. Thankfully, they were very darkish colors so that it wouldn't be noticeable.

She took us to a small office that was completely turned upside down and grabbed a set of keys that conveniently wasn't affected by the whole thing.

We followed her across the hallways until we reached a clean zone; no stain or signals of a fight ever broke out, only a lonely metal door.

"If I remember correctly about his strength, then all those locks and doors are pointless." Suigetsu's comment did catch my interest, though Juugo was very strong, so no cage could ever hope to hold him down.

"They aren't because they aren't there to stop him but to isolate him so he can't hear or see anything." Karin adjusted her glasses as she explained.

"But he can still go berserk and destroy everything," I said.

Karin looked at me before grabbing the keys. "Only if he is triggered by something or somebody is almost impossible with this many layers of protection."

"But our little visit won't trigger him?" Suigetsu innocently asked.

"Of course, this would…." Karin had already unlocked the door and was about to turn the handle, but she abruptly stopped when the realization hit her.

She slowly turned to face me with a sheepish smile, accompanied by a faint blush. "Sasuke-kun?"

I sighed. "You should have just given me the damn keys."

"Okay." She stepped aside, given the freeway to open the door and potentially trigger Juugo's murderous beast.

"Heh, pussy." Suigetsu was quick to provoke.

"Shut it! I have a sense of self-preservation, unlike you who are made of water!" She yelled back.

I sighed and turned the handle.

Nothing happened, so I passed through the first entry only to be met with another locked door. I was grateful that the keys were numbered, so I didn't need to try each key because those two weren't the only ones.

As I kept unlocking doors, I wondered how they even fed Juugo?

Did Kimimaro always open each door to give him food? And after his demise, who had been bringing food?

When I was one door away, I could hear the constant murmuring behind the door.

I took a deep breath, preparing myself physically and mentally before using the key to unlock the final door.

"JACKPOT!" I could barely see the form of the man who screamed his delight.

Almost like an instinct, I felt a new appendage coming out from my back, which stopped his killing blow and stopped the impact, preventing any harm from coming to my way.

However, one blow wasn't enough to satisfy the beast; he laughed as he delivered a barrage of punches. While it didn't harm me, it buried me deeper inside the wall.

I wanted the whole thing to end fast; I hated drama.

Juugo was so occupied trying to destroy my face that he didn't expect me to send him flying away with a kick.

After he crashed against the wall, I rushed at him, who was still recovering, and immediately restrained him.

It took seconds to realize how I restrained him; the appendages I felt were the gigantic hands that worked as wings as well which held him down.

Sasuke's cursed seal was surprisingly tame. If my memory serves me right, then his seal was supposed to have corrupted thoughts of grandeur, but I felt or heard nothing coming from the seal on my neck.

Perhaps the whole Orochimaru affair was responsible for the seal only being a power-up seal, but that was a thought for a later date. Subduing Juugo was my priority.

"Are you calm enough to talk?" I asked as I looked down at him, who incessantly struggled, but my wings, surprisingly, were far stronger than him.

Juugo's grey skin slowly returned to its natural color, leaving behind his tattooed body, those marks slowly disappearing from his skin.

Only then I released him.

And to my surprise, I felt my wings slowly retracting themselves back to the seal. It felt odd to grow out of your body and return as if they never existed, but I wanted to experiment even more with the seal.

I knew that Orochimaru could somewhat use it to return to life, but this state didn't fit the description, was utterly different from what I could remember.

"Hey, I asked you a question." Juugo didn't say anything while I thought, so I had to ask again.

He looked at me with surprise on his face.

"I… I think so… I need to go back!" Juugo instantly ran away towards his cell and shut the door.

"Is everything alright?" I could hear Karin's concerned voice.

"Yes," I replied.

Only then did I hear their footsteps getting closer until they finally arrived at the first layer of Juugo's cage.

"Go away!"

"Wow, I didn't expect them so feared Juugo was this…." Suigetsu tilted his head in surprise when he saw Juugo's pitiful form.

"Cowardly?" Karin finished for him

She crossed her arms as she looked at the pitiful form of the so feared beast."The simplest way to describe his condition is double personalities, the real Juugo is this scared boy, and the bloodthirsty beast is the one everyone fears. Juugo is afraid of his alter ego harming innocents more than anything."

"Man, what a disappointment."

"I said leave me alone! I don't want to hurt you." Juugo desperately yelled.

I opened the door and went inside his cage.

"Juugo, come with me." I extended my hand.

"You don't understand!" He didn't look at me before crawling towards a corner where he cowered in fear.

I looked back at Karin and Suigetsu; they only shrugged.

I sighed in exasperation, trying to remember what needed to be said, or at least an adaptation.

"I'm Sasuke Uchiha, and from today onwards, I shall become your new cage." I introduced myself, hoping that it would trigger a memory of him.

"Sasuke...Uchiha?" He muttered.

I nodded.

His eyes widened as they recovered the light of life.

"You...you are Kimimaro's legacy." He looked at me from below as if he was looking at his savior.

"That beast that you fear will no longer harm innocent people as long as I'm alive." I boldly declared.

Juugo's face immediately was filled with tears as he went to hug my legs and let out a cry.

"Thank you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!" He was letting out all of his pent-up emotions.

That wasn't necessary, and I felt uncomfortable trying to comfort him.

But at least I finally recruited Juugo so we could leave for the nearest town and finally have a proper discussion and have some of my questions answered.

"You know how lame this looks?"

Goddammit Suigetsu.
