Itasuske, the actual begining.

[Chronos]

Well, it's been awhile, but here is a new story in the Itasuske series. ;D


The whole room was filled with incubation chambers. Each one had a mix of both Hyuga and Uchiha blood gestating, all of them trying to attain life. After the third abortion of the day, Orochimaru was not pleased. The last one counted up to be casualty 134 out of his possible 200 candidates. He also knew that the pesky Leaf village had spotted him, and that they knew his general area. Time was running short, and he knew that if he didn’t get any results soon, he would have to leave this experiment behind. Three of the test subjects showed excellent signs of reaching maturity. One was a hybrid of the strongest living Hyuga, their so-called Lord Hiashi, and his student, Sauske. Another was a hybrid that seemed more feasible, one of Neji Hyuga and Sauske again. Those two were his favorites of the three that he thought would make it. The last one was a strange combination, Itachi Uchiha and Neji. That one did show the most promise, but he resented it for what it represented. Two ninja who had disrupted his plans in the past in one being. “You know,” a female voice said, “that #3 has the greatest chances of living, correct?” Orochimaru was annoyed at this fact, so plain and clear, that he snapped. “Of course I know that #3 has the BEST ratio of living, but I don’t CARE!” He threw his arms in the air at the end. The woman gave a small, sarcastic smile. “What ever you say, Lord Orochimaru…” she said as she walked into a different room.

Her name was Azami and she was excited. Her combination was doing the best of all the experiments. She knew that with a strong Hyuga blood combined with a strong Uchiha blood would create a very unique and interesting specimen. She was of average height and weight, and her hair was deep crimson red. She had the air of a cold, calculating genius, but most did not live to tell how she really was. She cared for all the things she created, be it summoning a creature or creating a jutsu. Everything to her that she made was precious to her. That may have been why Orochimaru had hired her to create this thing for him, because he knew that she would make sure that whatever it was knew how to defend itself. She would make sure to teach this creation how to defend itself, and she already had a name for it. She walked down the corridor, and ran into Kabuto. “What are you planning?” he asked her. “Nothing,” she said, shrugging her shoulders and placing her hands in the air, “why are you asking me?” “Because ,” he said, pointing a finger in her face, “All of your experimental data has shown much more promise than ours, and I want to know why.” She looked at him dangerously, “Are you accusing me of anything, Kabuto?” she said with icy coolness. That threw him off a bit, and he faltered, “N….no, but I do suspect some sort of foul play is about. Keep your eyes peeled for anything.” He quickly walked away. “That was a bit close,” she thought to herself. In reality, she was a ex-Anbu specialist in genetics, and still had a few connections in the Leaf. That was how she got a hold of the blood samples that were currently in use to make the experiment that she provided for.

A clash of kunai was what was all that was heard. One of the outside guards fell. 3 Anbu agents appeared out of thin air. “If the information was correct, Orochimaru should be nearby.” the bird-faced agent said. “Yes, but our informant still needs time, it is not the right moment, or so our informant says,” the cat-faced agent said. “Well, let’s hide for a few more days, then if the informant doesn’t report back, then we press on.” the dog-faced agent said. “Agreed,” both the bird- and cat-faced agent said. The three agents disappeared right back into the night. The dog-faced agent, at a safe distance, took off his mask, revealing the face of Shikamaru. “This is such a drag, I didn’t even want to be assigned to this mission. Oh well.” He put his mask back on, and disappeared.

ooo nice. But why did you cut off at a good part?!?!!? I mean it just seemed like it was going somewhere and you cut it off!!!!!

[Chronos]

I cut it off so you will come back for more. You know how i like to do that.

[xravenx]

Yes, how you so deliberately do that evertime. Shikamasu is in the story! how cool! lol

[Chronos]

Before you read this, no this is not the end to this thread, I just felt like being overly dramatic at the end. Keep looking for updates, they will be posted at the next available time.


Azami went back to the experimentation room. All the experiments were coming into their final stages, but the two who weren’t hers were looking a bit on the ailing side. One of the experiments was looking like it was going to be another abortion, but her favorite and Orochimaru’s favorite were both probably going to make it to the final stages. Then, while looking at the chambers, she got visions of what she was going to do with hers after he became a full ninja. The powers of both Uchiha and Hyuga, all hers to command! Just then, she noticed another presence in the room. See gave a sidelong glance, and saw a small girl in the corner, looking so much like her father. Nakita, the daughter of Orochimaru, was also as interested as all the adults in this experiment. Azami realized that this girl probably had more innocent reasons for wanting one of these experiments to come into the world, such as having someone to at least train with. In a way, she envied the small girl, for she was not tainted too badly with what the world was like outside. Then she snapped out of her revere, knowing full well that Nakita could also be a spy for her father, and quickly left the room.

Orochimaru was walking down the halls of his current base, contemplating what to do. He then had a idea. The true test of survivability. He quickly rushed to the incubation chamber, and called Kabuto to him. “Yes, what do you wish, Lord Orochimaru?” Kabuto said as he arrived in the incubation room. “I want you to be here in case one of the experiments fails, so that you can do your best to keep it alive.” Kabuto looked a bit confused, but decided to resign himself and expect the worst. Orochimaru reached for the emergency drain button. “Lord Orochimaru, don’t!” but before Kabuto could finish his sentence, Orochimaru released the button, draining all the chambers at once. One of the experiments died at once, with no warning whatsoever. One of the others, The Neji-Sauske combo, was fairing badly, so Orochimaru quickly directed Kabuto over to that chamber. The other, the Neji-Itachi combo, was still stable, despite the fact of being prematurely opened. Orochimaru saw this, and he also saw that Kabuto could do nothing to stabilize the other experiment, so he told Kabuto to stop.

Azami heard the bells ringing that told that there was a emergency in the incubation room. She quickly moved to the incubation room, just in time to see Kabuto stop treatment on the other experiment that was not hers. Then she saw Orochimaru walking toward her experiment, and wondered what he was doing. She then saw young Nakita rush up to her father with a very confused look on her face. She saw Orochimaru take her experiment in his arms, then realized what he was doing. He was stealing her research! She quickly ran to the door, but before she could reach it, a wall of snakes blocked her path. “No, Azami, you can do no more here. I know what you have been doing from the start, so I am going to take what is most precious to you. Have fun when the Anbu show up in a hour. They probably have the place surrounded by now. This is good bye.” Then the snakes disappeared, and their master with them. “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time,” Kabuto whispered behind her. “Chakra Scalpel Jutsu!” He quickly severed the chakra flow to both her arms and legs. “Well, this is the time where I leave you. Good bye, Azami.” and with that, he disappeared.

Neji unmasked his bird-face mask. “It’s time.” He told himself. He put his bird-mask back on, and moved into position. The place looked really quiet, but judging from the capabilities of what Orochimaru could do in the past, anything was possible. He activated hi Byakugan, and looked around as far as he could see. Inside the building, nothing. Inside the compound, nothing. He contacted his teammates. “There’s something wrong here, there is nobody inside.” Another voice, dog-face, responded. “Nothing at all?” “Wait,” Neji said, “I do see someone, but she is lying on the floor, and her chakra flow has been severed in four different places!” The other, cat-face, responded first. “That’s who we are looking for! How many other women would be in such a stink hole?” “Calm yourself, cat, we don’t have time to make rash decisions.” Dog-face said. Neji started thinking to himself. “That would be a good place to start looking, though, just in case it is a trap. Better to spring the big one and see what happens. There was silence for about a minute, then Dog responded. “Agreed, where is it?” Neji took another quick sweep, then said, “on the north side of the building, on the top level.” All three of them converged on the target in a matter of seconds, and saw Azami lying there, helpless to defend herself. The cat-faced one reached her first. “Where is Orochimaru? What happened to all the incubation chambers? Who are you?” He said all of this in a matter of seconds, and Azami had a look of bewilderment on her face. The dog faced one, Shikamaru, reached out and grabbed the cat faced one. “You are to fast, let me handle this one.” Neji arrived two seconds later, and held the cat faced one back. “Now,” Shikamaru said, “Who are you, and don’t give me any crap, remember that I am Anbu.” Azami resigned herself, and decided that she, even now, could turn this in her favor, possibly. “My name is Azami Ayako, and I was captured by Orochimaru to help with his experiments. He left me to you guys, thinking that you would kill me off.” She prayed that her small untruth would work, but she couldn’t tell because they were wearing those damn Anbu masks. “Azami Ayako? You worked for Anbu for a sort period of time, as I recall,” the dog faced one said. He sounded bored, but also was the one in charge. “You were a geneticist, and I believe you got kicked out for something along the lines of being a safety hazard for not only those around you, but yourself as well. We will take you in for questioning.” He finished. Well, she thought to herself, if she could get through this, then she would escape and hunt down that snake, wherever he was.

Meanwhile, in a remote location, a young boy just came to realize that he was alive. No one, not even his creators, would understand how his life would shape the leaf forever. His name, as he came to learn, was Itasuske, and he represented all the hard work and dedication to perfection that Orochimaru had dedicated his life to.

[dragonjinchuuriki3]

another cut off.... >.<

You read my mind! I was going to ask you something about Nakita in all this mess. I also want to talk to you about more stuff, but it can wait. NICE JOB!

[Chronos]

look, another part is up! woo hoo!

A flying kunai flew straight past Itasuske’s face. His training with Kabuto was always intense, but this time it seemed that he was out for the kill this time! Itasuske had to think quickly, for at the rate that things were going, he was not going to last long. He kept running, for he had no offensive weapons of his own. He quickly hid, and started thinking. “I know you are around here, young one. Now come out like a good boy and accept your fate.” Kabuto was taunting him, trying to bait him to come into the open. Itasuske realized this, because when he wanted to, he could become near invisible with his natural skill at hiding. Now, he had nothing himself, this was true, but if he could collect all the ones that Kabuto was using……… that could be a idea. He quickly got up, and called out, “Hey, snow hair, over here old man!” Kabuto, being quite sensitive to his white hair, quickly threw a Kunai at the young ninja’s face. This time, though, Itasuske pulled up a piece of the floor board, and the Kunai buried itself in that. Itasuske pulled out the kunai, and disappeared before Kabuto could do anything about it. “Hmmm, clever, just like his descendants. I just guess I’ll have to be more on my guard from now on.” He pushed his glasses to his face, and took out another kunai. Before he could blink again, though, he felt a kunai bury itself into his back. “Got ya!” Itasuske said, just before he saw the body turn into a log. “damn….” was all he could say before he got kicked in the gut, then thrown against the wall. He sat there, I a heap, while Kabuto walked right up to him. “Clever, setting a small trap up, but the difference in our abilities is just to great for you to compensate for. So, for now….” He knocked Itasuske out with one swift motion. “Huh, I think Orochimaru will be pleased with his progress. Not 3 years after birth, and he thinks in a way that most genin can’t. Impressive.” Kabuto said to himself. Of course, by body age, the young ninja was at about genin level right now, at the ripe age of 12. He brought the child to his room, which consisted of a bed, and a closet for clothes. “Sleep well, Itasuske.” Kabuto said, as he kicked him in the gut, making sure that the young ninja was unconscious.

“I told you all that I know, so why don’t you let me go?” Azami said to the Anbu interrogator. “Because we have reason to believe that you could also be the culprit of a theft that took place 2 days before your resignation. We had blood samples of all the Ninja that have ever been inside the leaf village, but two days prior to your resignation, blood samples from both the Hyuga and Uchiha bloodlines were stolen,” Azami snorted, “I know all about that. If you check the file again, you will see that I was forced to resign because of that incident. Besides, why would I steal from my own lab?” The interrogator considered this, but still was firm in his resolve. “I am not putting into question that you stole from yourself, but rather that you let someone in to steal those blood samples, so that nothing would happen to you while you would still reap the benefits of whatever was happening. I think that you cut a deal with Orochimaru, and in return, that he would give you something in return. Stop me if I am wrong.” Azami considered his words, and made a quick counter. “While I was Anbu, I upheld the will of fire. I have proven myself on the field, and have saved countless lives with my knowledge. Why are you questioning me now? I told you, I was captured, and they drugged me. I have no idea what happened or how long I was there. If you’re so good at interrogation, you should know that I am telling the truth by now.” The interrogator, surprised at her truthfulness, which was his special ability to detect, to a degree, backed down. “I understand that you are under a great deal of stress, so I will give you a break. Return to your cell.” Azami, still a bit flustered, returned to her cell in a huff. When she got there, she heard a small hissing sound. She looked around, looking for any gasses going into her cell, but didn’t see any which meant one thing. She quickly dove for the nearest cover, which turned out to be her bed. The farthest wall from her exploded, but there was no noise from the explosion, just the rubble hitting the floor. A slightly large man walked through the hole, making his way to her bed. “Come on,” he said, “Though I can mask the explosive noise, those Anbu boys can smell smoke from 20 miles away. We have to go now.” Azami, relived that the cavalry had finally come, grabbed the man’s hand, and quickly changed her form. With her extensive research into genetics, she found a compound that allowed a person, with great effort, to change his or her own appearance, making it impossible to track her down. They quickly left the holding building, the Man and the Woman, and found a semi-safe place to hide. “So, Takeshi, how did you find me?” The man sighed, then started explaining all the tracking down he had to do. He also explained that he was not alone, and that others were waiting for their arrival. This took Azami back, and asked “So, is the original team coming back together?” “Yep” Takashi said. Takashi was a master of explosives. His skill was so good, that he could make a entire tree explode with the right jutsu. He was the heavy hitter of the group, while Azami acted as the healer ninja of the group. Only one person was missing, and they were about to get back together.

Orochimaru was sitting, thinking about his great success. He had in his possession the only living being that had both the Sharingan and Byakugan, in theory. No results as of yet on weather the child had the abilities as of yet, but then again, young Itasuske was only 3 in conventional years. It could take some time, he realized, but it was growing tiresome. He wanted to know weather he should kill the little twerp off, or if he was to be useful, to keep him as a replacement to Sauske. Sauske didn’t know of Itasuske, of course, because that would become quite a mess if he did find out that Orochimaru was going to replace him. Orochimaru had to wait until the opportune moment arose, then he would either use Sauske to kill off Itasuske, or, if Itasuske fended off the Uchiha, then he would replace Sauske at that time. Orochimaru laughed at himself. He had worked so hard to get Sauske, and here he was talking about replacing him. My, how times change, he thought to himself. Oh well, it will all pay off in the end. He then got up, and started heading toward his daughter’s room. She was so young, and yet she looked so much like him. He wondered if he should allow her to see Itasuske, so close to her own age. Then he considered against it, for if they became friends, if Itasuske had someone to care for, it could ruin his entire plan. He let young Nakita sleep, and returned to his own lab. He started contemplating what to do next, then went out to the field where Kabuto trained both Nakita and Itasuske, but at different times. He started making modifications, and kept working through the night, trying not to think of anything but making his two little ninjas better.

[xravenx]

aw i could just imagine little Itasuske and Nakita! lol

[dragonjinchuuriki3]

I know what you mean raven. That would be so cute!!! ^^ YAY more plot, which means, I can't wait for more!!!

[Chronos]

Well, a new part is here! Sorry it took so long, but, you know, school sucks. Yes, I'm in the Navy, but I still have to go to school. A bit retarded, really. lol.

Azami and Takashi were both skimming around the woods, looking for what, Azami didn’t know. Their other partner was a hunter by trade, so he knew that he would have to cover his tracks all the time. The only way you could ever tell he was there was if you could see the little clues that he left behind, if he wanted to leave any. And they were always small things, like a leaf out of place or a blade of grass that was slightly bent the wrong way, things of that nature. Azami and Takashi kept on going in the same places, but could find no trace of him. Finally, Azami realized their mistake. She stopped in the last place where they found a clue, which was at the very top of a tree, and stood there. Takashi, not very perceptive when it came to stealth missions, stopped in the same place, but had a dumbfounded expression on his face. “Why are we….” was all he could get out before Azami hushed him. She concentrated on the tree, and it’s genetic makeup, and found something wrong. At about 3 paces toward to tree, which was were the trunk was located, Azami stopped. She then reached out a hand and grabbed a man out from his very cleverly disguised hiding spot. “Alright, alright! You caught me.” The man was tall, but he was also extremely thin. One look at him, and you would think that he was a skeleton, but upon closer inspection, one could see the very tightly packed muscles and hard earned tan from years of outdoor experience. Across his back, a backpack that was filled with hunting and trapping equipment could be found. He also had a bow around his back and a quiver of arrows strapped to his leg. His jutsus all revolved around nature, and manipulating it to fit his hunting style. He had no name that anyone could remember, so he just called himself Relic. Supposedly, he was around since the first Hokage had created the village, and he was also the one who established the Anbu corps. Unfortunately, he was also the first to be exiled out of the leaf village, for he was unsatisfied with the game that he found in the forest, but instead resorted to hunting people. First it was great, for he could track down any ninja that escaped or attacked the village, but then his methods became more and more brutal, so, in his infinite wisdom, the First exiled him for his actions. He is still loyal to the Leaf, but now he was freelance. Azami found him one time, while he made one slip up, and was badly hurt. She healed him, or as much as she could. Since she healed him, he became part of her team after she left Anbu. “So, what’s the job that we’re going to do now?” Relic said, in a voice that reminded one of the wind blowing. “We have a snake to track. You think you can start leading us in the right direction if I took you to the last place of origin?” Azami said. Relic sat, a rare sight for him, and pondered. “Orochimaru. The ultimate traitor to the leaf. A chance to track him down? A wonderful challenge!” Relic said, and broke out into a smile, which was terrifying, seeing as how all of his teeth were sharpened to points. Takashi, taken a bit aback from Relic’s reaction, hesitated a little. “Are we sure about this? I mean, the top dogs at the leaf’s Anbu Dept. are looking for Orochimaru as well, right? What if we get caught with them? I don’t want to fight brothers.” Azami, realizing this dilemma within Takashi’s head, tried to sooth him a bit. “If we do happen to run into Anbu, then we have a different objective than they do. If they come up to us, I can, with limits, change us to look like rocks or background stuff, that way we won’t have to fight them. Deal?” Takashi considered, then shrugged, “Ok, I’m in.” He put his hand in. “I am as well,” Relic said, putting his hand in. “Then let us get to it!” Azami said, putting her hand in. Once they broke, Azami started leading them to Orochimaru’s last base of origin.

This was fun, Nakita thought to herself. She was supposed to be at training with Kabuto, but she instead was hiding in the forest, exploring in the forest. It was going to be interesting when Kabuto caught up with her, eventually, but for now, she was going to see what there was to see. She quickly assessed that they were very far from the last place they were staying, even though the base set up was about the same. So, she decided, she was going to see the area, and try to find some new places where she could terrorize Kabuto some more. And what of that boy that they had brought back with them? She had asked her father about him, but whenever she did, all she got was a quick dismissal that left her unsatisfied. She knew that the other boy was on the base, but for some reason could never find him! It was quite frustrating, having something you know be there, but never see it. She would have to look into that, but for now, she had to find a place she could hide and look around the base from. She quickly made a small hole in a tree that was nearby with a small jutsu that her father dismissed as useless. She climbed in the hole, and did her summoning jutsu. Nutmuncher popped out and had that same irritated look on his face. “What do you want?” He complained. “I want you to look around the base until you find a boy about my age, and when you do, come back and tell me where in the base he is staying.” The little snake gave what looked like a quizzical look, and almost didn’t move until Nakita added, “And I’ll give you a nice, fresh, juicy mouse when you do that for me.” That made Nutmuncher much more agreeable. “Got ya, boss! I’ll have it done before the next sunrise!” Nakita sat back, wanting to relax, but then a hand reached in, grabbed her, and pulled her out of her hole. “I found you. You know that you shouldn’t run away when we are supposed to train!” Kabuto said. Nakita blew a raspberry in his face, but really couldn’t do much more. Kabuto sighed, “Come, let’s head back to the base, while we still have some time for training.”

Something was wrong, Orochimaru considered. He had his own spies inside the Leaf village, and he had been getting reports that someone had broken out of the Anbu facility. It took a very exceptional ninja to not only break the walls to escape, but to do it so silently that not even Anbu agents heard it. Only one person he knew had that sort of resources, and that was a woman that he thought he had gotten rid of. If this was all true, then he had to accelerate his plans. It was now imperative that he train both of his pupils himself now, for they might have to defend themselves from ninjas that were exceptional. They were not at his level, for no one could attain that sort of knowledge, but they would be quite trouble some. He also had to warn Kabuto about this, for if what he thought was going to happen, then Kabuto had to always be on the alert, and not loose any of Orochimaru’s pupils. If either Nakita or Itasuske got out and started wandering about, they could be used as bartering tools to make him do something. He knew that If Itasuske got out, they would take him automatically, and would never be seen again. He would not let that happen, for that would represent a year of research down the drain. He simply could not let that happen, no matter the consequences. He reached for a small microphone. “Sauske, come in……..”

[xravenx]

why do you always do that? damn, its on purpose isn't it?!
haha hunting humans...funny idk why though....hm...

[dragonjinchuuriki3]

wOOt Nakita's famous running off X3 Any way... calm down raven it is on purpose, knowing chronos, but that means the next one will be, most likely, better!!!

[Chronos]

Another part. Dang, i'm good. lol

They all arrived at Orochimaru’s last known hide out. Azami led them to the incubation chamber, where she first saw Orochimaru disappear. She started studying the surrounding area, Relic accompanied her, while Takashi stood a vigilant watch. It was usually conducted this way, except when they knew that explosives could be around, then Takashi and Relic switched spots. But, in this instance, Relic was the obvious better choice, seeing as he was a professional tracker. He got low, and started making slow hand signs. The room started giving off a eerie blue glow, which revealed all the spots that human contact had been made. Obviously, the incubation chambers glowed bright blue, seeing as how they were always attended on, but the floor, surprisingly, didn’t give much of a glow. “Why…” was all Azami could get off before Relic shushed her. “It only works on the most recent contact with the floor, excluding us. As you can see over there.” he pointed over to a bright spot on the floor a few paces away from where Azami was standing. She looked over, and also noticed residual biological incubation material, which also proved that Orochimaru was most likely standing on this exact spot before he transported himself off, some how. “Relic, go relive Takashi, and have him come in here.” Azami said. As soon as he stood up, the glow faded, and the room returned to it’s normal lighting pattern. Takashi came in five minutes later, and started to walk over where Azami was. Then, he dived toward Azami, knocking her over. “Takashi, what in the world are you thinking?” Takashi didn’t even notice that Azami was yelling at him, but was staring intently at the spot that Azami was examining. “What is it?” Azami asked, now also noticing that Takashi was staring at the spot. “It reeks of a trap. Though I specialize in explosives, knowing how to set them also involves trapping, so I have lots of experience in that as well. I have no clue what was there, but if you had stepped into that spot you were looking at, something real bad would have happened to you. Let me look at it..” he said, and did a small summoning Jutsu. A small thing of Takashi’s own creation, a roller-bomb, sprang into life. Takashi pointed to the spot where all the commotion was from, and the roller-bomb, happy to please it’s master, rolled quickly to the spot. Almost immediately, the roller started springing up boils all across it’s body. Seeing it had a short life span, Takashi gave a hand sign, which caused the roller bomb to explode with a quite impressive 3’ radius, seeing as how it was only 4” in diameter. The two of them watched, being a safe 5’ away, and Takashi went in first to asses the damage. He was much more free with his movements, and Relic came rushing in, bow drawn to it’s full extent. He then saw the hole in the floor, and realized that Takashi had to have his fun, and slowly relaxed his bow. He sighed, and rejoined Azami. All three of them gathered around the new hole in the floor, and saw a small platform that seemed could fit two adults and a child, if need be. Takashi and Relic both looked at Azami, who shrugged when she saw that they were looking at her, and climbed down to the platform. Relic, relishing in the adventure, climbed down after her. Takashi, being naturally nervous, given his profession, very slowly climbed down after them. It was a tight squeeze, to be sure, and none of them knew how to work the platform. Then, suddenly, the platform floor dropped out from underneath them, and all three of them started falling through a chute. To where, none of them knew.

Itasuske knew the objective. He knew what he was supposed to do. How to do it, though, was the big question. He had to scale the building, undetected, and find what was inside the top room, and fight, if he got caught. It was about midnight, by his reckoning, and couldn’t use any ninja tools, for they all gave too much noise. He started concentrating chakra into his feet. He had just mastered the tree climbing technique, and was eager to find out what it would feel like going up a building. Though he couldn’t simply run up the building, so he started using the same concept on his hands. He started crawling up the building, quite happy that he could focus his chakra like this. He had gotten the idea from looking at a spider and how it dispersed it’s weight evenly along the web to go across at sometimes lightning-fast speeds. Slowly, silently, he started gathering his speed, and before he knew it, he was at the top. He quickly jumped into the open window sill, and was amazed at what he found. A whole slew of Ninja tools, some he had never seen before, and some a improvement from their original counterparts. He started looking through, and found one thing that caught his eye. A kunai, which looked simple and out of place with all these high-tech tools. The reason it caught his eye was simply this reason, so he decided that it was probably important. He reached out to touch it. Before he could though, he was snatched up by a unknown assailant. “You are not to be here, young one.” Kabuto’s all-to-familiar voice rang through his head. Itasuske, quickly knowing his opponent, made a quick turning motion and made a mighty kick. It connected straight to Kabuto’s knee, which made him grab it in pain, releasing Itasuske. Itasuske, in turn, hit the ground, and tried to make a uppercut, but all he could see was air where he had just swung. Itasuske looked around, and saw Kabuto looking like he was about to make a jutsu on the ground. Wanting to disrupt anything that Kabuto was doing, Itasuske rushed at him. Just as he saw Kabuto get it, Itasuske knew it was too late. “Urani Temple Jutsu!” Was all Itasuske heard before he started seeing dozens of feathers start falling from the sky, making him more and more sleepy. Quickly, Itasuske was sound asleep.

“That was close, Kabuto.” Kabuto heard from the corner of the room. “Lord Orochimaru, I didn’t know that you were here. If I had, I wouldn’t have used that juts…” “Think nothing of that,” Orochimaru interrupted, “I was talking about Itasuske. Is he getting out of your control, Kabuto? The same is happening with Nakita. It seems that they both resemble their creator in more ways than one. Itasuske has the same thirst for knowledge that I had in my youth, while Nakita seeks solitude away from, of most things, you, Kabuto. She also resembles myself in that aspect. Hmmmmm…..” Orochimaru started pondering, wondering what would happen next. “Kabuto, I want you to keep double guard. I’m expecting guests in the immediate future.” Orochimaru added, as if this sort of thing happened all the time. “Double guard……. This place may become unsafe, but as you command, Lord Orochimaru.” Kabuto said, lifting up the unconscious Itasuske and returned to his room.
