Political Alliances
Chapter 12: Truth comes out
-Sound Base 5, Tea Country-
Orochimaru was still in his bed as he tried to blot out the pain in his arms. It had been too long since that old man had taken his arms from him with that jutsu. If the old man wasn’t dead he would have killed him in the most slow and painful of ways. He grunted in pain as his arms were slowly decaying, having the flesh of your body slowly falling apart on you gave you pain unlike anything a person could imagine. Of course he knew it wasn’t really ‘his’ body, his original body was long since gone.
All the research into immortality had left him only one option, to cast off an old body like a snake sheds its skin. The bodies of course would have to be injected and altered so that he would be able to use some of his more special abilities. It was time consuming but it thankfully he had refined the process by now. At first it took him nearly a year for the body to be altered enough but now it only took a few months. But no matter what he could never make the bodies last, they burned out too quickly for him. Three years and he needed to find a new host, and he had to be careful because not just any body would do. Orochimaru had to make sure they were strong bodies as weak ones wouldn’t last as long and they couldn’t be enhanced enough with all the drugs and forbidden techniques he needed to put into them.
He had learned early on to not just have one person to be his next host but to find those that were perfect for him was hard to find. Only the truly exceptional could be his body, like Kimimaro the leader of the Sound Five-well Sound Four now- his bloodline ability was truly one of a kind. But the boy was dying and wouldn’t last even with the curse mark on him and so the boy was on life support, kept alive for the last time, Orochimaru would need him.
A few others could be used but he wanted Sasuke Uchiha, the sharingan with the ability to copy all jutsu would let him learn in three years what would take him three hundred years to learn. After his failure with Itachi, Sasuke was the only option. While true the boy was a bit too young, Orochimaru had ways to alter the body to that of a more adult form. But he needed the boy for other reasons, with the boy’s body he could use the DNA to help recreate the Uchiha Clan.
His previous experiments in Konoha before his exile, he had been trying to recreate the wood abilities of the First and he felt he had been close. One had survived and although he didn’t know it, he had heard rumors of a masked ANBU with wood abilities. When he heard of that, Orochimaru had started up with his DNA project again and when he got Sasuke he could find a way to make a whole new line of sharingan users to use in the future.
He could infuse a fetus with that and let it grow in a tank or he could always do artificial insemination. He had plans for both at any point, the strongest female warriors were already picked out in advanced and Kabuto kept an eye out for any future prospects. Unlike his ex-teammate he never was interested in the whole sexual side of relationships, to Orochimaru it seemed too vulgar a process. He never understood that part of humanity and he never would, he just felt it was a good thing he was like this. It was only a distraction and he could focus more on his work.
Pain flared up again in his arms and he cried out for Kabuto, he needed more medicine to help with the pain. Soon the flesh of his arms wouldn’t be able to hold together and then infections would start to spread through his body. Even with all the enhancements if his body was too weak he could still get sick. Kabuto tried to numb the nerves but for some reason it wasn’t working, he yelled again when the boy hadn’t shown up.
The door flew open as Kabuto rushed into the room, Orochimaru yelled for more medicine and the boy ran to the side table where they all were. He injected several compounds into his body through the ruined arms, and then into the main body. The needles were less painful then his arms at the moment but soon the pain started to lessen, it never left him but it was now tolerable.
“Where the hell is Sasuke?” Orochimaru demanded.
“The Sound Four are still watching him as per your orders,” Kabuto said as he put the medicine away. “Apparently he’s been training himself trying to learn how to use your little ‘gift’ so far. But they haven’t risked being seen yet, even though thanks to your knowledge on Konoha’s security they could still be found out.”
“I don’t know how much longer I can wait,” Orochimaru said angrily. “If the old fool hadn’t used that jutsu on me I could afford to wait but I need a new body. With Tsunade’s refusal to heal me I need a new body.”
He still was supposed to have at least two years more with this new body but he had to change quickly. Normally changing so fast wasn’t a good idea as it would weaken him to keep changing too fast but he had no choice. He wanted the an Uchiha body for so long and one was almost within his grasp. The boy’s lust for power for revenge would surely motivate the boy to seek him out. Plus the curse seal was also there, it would give him power while feeding on his negative emotions and even increasing them.
That was one of his best pieces of work, something that would slowly twist the minds that used them. The darker the urges the better the seal would work. It was unfortunate that his first success in Anko had been a disappointment, the girl would have made a fine apprentice and maybe even a good host body one day. But she lacked the need for power, she had been physically strong enough to survive but she was too weak as a person. She was too soft and so he left her to die in that place.
He had been surprised to learn she had survived but it had been fun to run into his old student again. She had grown but was still too soft, the curse mark worked against her because she fought against it, instead of embracing it.
“Lord Orochimaru?” Kabuto asked him.
“How much longer do I have?” Orochimaru asked.
“At the rate of decay I would say two weeks at best.”
Orochimaru’s face twisted in pain and anger, he couldn’t afford to wait that long. Sasuke was taking too long to join him and he was quickly running out of options.”
“Start the preparations for a new host,” Orochimaru spat out.
-Uchiha District-
Sasuke had been working hard on trying to understand the seal that Orochimaru put on him. After his team was let go for the day he had gotten as many scrolls on sealing and seals that he could from the library of his clan. Although he only new the simple ones for how to seal weapons he had thought it wouldn’t be that tough. Although called a genius, it turned out that seals required a different type of genius. The formulas were very complex and just getting a rudimentary grasp of it was difficult.
There was also the fact that Orochimaru had created this seal himself and there were no official records, although he bet there were classified ones but even he couldn’t get those. Only high ranking jonins would be the only ones to get those kinds of records and would most likely need to have the Hokage’s approval too. He knew he couldn’t go to Kakashi to ask for them because he wouldn’t approve of what he was doing.
Sasuke needed more power and this seal seemed like the best way to go about it. He remembered when it first activated, he had never felt so powerful or so alive at that moment. He had been enjoying himself in ways he had thought lost to him. When he had been trying to tare that Sound genin’s arms off he had liked it, all battles after he had never felt like that again and he was wondering why.
In battle he only thought about victory but that point he had for the first time actually liked being in battle. He had thrived in the heat of the moment and from even the pain he had been inflicting at the time to the Sound genin.
At any rate so far the seal was too complicated for him to figure anything out, whatever it was he had to work it out on his own. Which led him to his practice sessions by the lake where he had mastered that fire jutsu. That had been when his father had finally taken notice of him, when his father had told him that he was going to train Sasuke personally, Sasuke had been overjoyed. He had been living in his older brother’s shadow all his life and finally, finally he was being recognized. He had gone to bed that night happier than he had been in a long time and couldn’t wait until the next day.
But that was the night when his world was destroyed.
Itachi had but butchered his clan and family, had tortured him for three days and left him broken there among the blood and corpses of his mother and father. He was alone in the world, there was no brother to look up to, no father for advice and no mother who always made him feel safe and warm.
All he felt was the numbing cold of the hole that was left in his life.
Sasuke started up his warm up routine as he started to practice his family fighting style. He remembered the times his brother would train him, back then everything was good. He had loved his older brother and looked up to him, which what made his betrayal all the more hard on the younger Sasuke. The one person he thought he could trust, shattered that bond forever. Sasuke threw out a series of punches as the memories came flooding back to him.
He remembered after he had been found, how he had been in the hospital for a few months. He was shaken by the experience, he hadn’t been able to sleep at night at all. Every shadow he had looked to see if Itachi would come back to finish the job. Sasuke had waited all night long in case his older brother had changed his mind and came to kill him too. He could only sleep in the days when he felt safe, but at night he waited.
Sasuke now started with the kicking combos, then into blocks and parries. His body moved on it’s own as his mind battled with the memories that were swarming him. The fact was that he didn’t hate Itachi at first, no that came later. At first he had been scared of Itachi, scared that he was going to wake up one night with Itachi over his bed. Those red eyes glaring at him as he plunged a sword into Sasuke’s heart. After a few months when he knew Itachi wasn’t coming back he had gone home for the first time.
He had seen the empty homes and streets and he could see the fresh pain to cover the blood that had been spilt there. He stood in the center of the Uchiha district for a long time that day. He felt the tears fall for the first time that day, he had fallen to his knees as he cried his heart out. All that pain and rage he had been bottling up came pouring out of him, he howled his anger into the empty area. He didn’t know how long he had been there, the sun had been setting at that point but by the end of it he felt empty.
There were no more tears in him, and he hadn’t cried again since that day. He had used up all the tears left in his life in a single moment. All that was left was the emptiness, that cold empty feeling like a hole in his chest. But soon he felt something else there, a cold burning sensation. It was the cold fury that was building up in him, he looked up with hard eyes around him. It was at that moment when he truly vowed to kill his brother, to seek revenge for his entire clan.
“Arrgh!” Sasuke felt the pain where the mark was flaring up. It was an intense sensation and for a moment he could barely stand. The pain slowly faded as he tried to think what caused it to flare up like that. Kakashi had told him that the seal around it was only as strong as his will but something else must have happened.
He had been thinking long and hard about the cursed seal, why it worked at the start and why the other times it had activated it had only weakened him. That first time it activated, that was what he needed to try and focus on. When he had fought Gaara he had needed more power and it had activated but not like the first time. His body wouldn’t respond normally and he felt even weaker. So what was different about the Gaara fight and the fight with the Sound genin.
He came to realization it was the emotions involved. With Gaara he had felt fear and doubt but not with the Sound genin. There was more too, it had flared up just when he was thinking of that day he had made his vow to his clan. Something in that moment had triggered it as well.
‘Well I could try it, not like I got anything to lose.’ Sasuke thought to himself. He closed his eyes and tried to remember that day again. He tried to focus on the pain and rage that had been inside of him, he thought of Itachi and what he had done, he thought of their last fight and how he had gone after Naruto of all people. His brother had tossed him aside like he was nothing but had been focused only on Naruto.
‘Naruto Why, why are you so strong now. You’re the dead last, you come from no clan, have no bloodline there is nothing special about you and yet you keep getting stronger. You kept getting taught the things that I could use to complete my mission. Even Suna sees something in you, most likely for beating Gaara.’
‘So why?
“What makes him so special!?” Sasuke yelled out as the curse seal activated.
He cried out in pain but this time he didn’t try to fight it. He embraced what he was feeling and soon the pain was passing. The black marks if he could see, were crawling over his body now covering half of it. He started to feel the power flowing into him and it felt great, better than great even. He threw his head back and laughed as the feeling of the raw power rushing through his body.
‘This is it, this is the power that I need. Now I just need to tame it.’ Sasuke thought to himself as he grinned. He started his physical work out trying to see how long he could keep the curse seal’s power flowing through his body. He was faster and stronger like this, when he met Itachi again he would use the power of this seal as a surprise and finally kill his brother.
-Uzumaki Home-
Temari had been looking all over for Naruto, she tried the ramen stand and then the Fourth’s head but so far no luck. Even the Hokage hadn’t seen him and none of his friends either. After she had left the school she was on a mission to find Naruto and to let him know that teaching kids those kinds of things were not okay. She was still pissed after all this time, in fact not only pissed but her feet were killing her, which only made her more mad. There was only one place left to check and that was at home.
She stopped in her tracks at that thought.
‘When the hell did I ever start to think of this place as home?’ Temari asked herself.
While she still considered Suna her home and always will, she was surprised by how she was starting to think of her two story house as ‘home’. She sure didn’t count the village as home, at least not yet. But for some reason the house was starting to feel like home to her. Sure she had all her stuff there but it was more than that, more then just having a place to live. She was actually starting to enjoy her life with Naruto, it was odd but she was starting to actually like the guy.
He made you feel at ease with yourself, he was always warm and his happiness was infectious at times.
She shook her head remembering that she was supposed to be mad at him. As the house came into view she noticed something on the roof. As she came closer she could see that someone was sitting on it.
Temari had an idea of who it was as well.
‘All that walking around and he was there the entire time?’ Temari wasn’t sure to be pissed or just happy that she had finally found him.
She quickly managed to get on to the roof and there he was, sitting there with his knees pulled up and his arms resting on them. He was looking far off but his eyes weren’t focused as he was in deep thought about something. Temari was about to get out her battle fan when she stopped and took notice of his face. While living with him she had seen the various faces he had but this was one she had never seen before. She couldn’t help but notice just how different it was and she was wondering if she was seeing a hidden side of him.
‘Well I’ll ask what’s going on...then I’ll give him hell for teaching children that perverted jutsu.’
“Alright so what the hell is wrong?” Temari asked the irritation in her voice she couldn’t hide.
Naruto jumped at her voice, he had been so deep in thought that he hadn’t even noticed her arriving. He put on that smiling face of his as he scratched the back of his head nervously. For the past hour or so he had been about what to say and how to go about this. He knew that she deserved to know the full truth of the matter but he couldn’t help but worry how she would see him.
“Oh! Uh, well...I guess nothing much...” He chuckled but soon stopped seeing the serious look on her face.
“Naruto.” She said simply more like a hidden command than her asking him anything.
He flinched a bit before he sighed and looked back out over the village as he got more serious again.
“Hey Temari...what if you knew something about me, something that might change how you see me?”
Now Temari was losing her previous anger as she was getting more interested. Was this that something that she had been looking into? Was this that secret that seemed to surround the blonde ninja?
She sat down next to him looking at him, she could see the look in his eyes. They held a pain in them that she hadn’t seen in a very long time. She remembered how Gaara’s eyes had looked like that, all that pain and loss. Then one night Gaara had changed and his eyes took on that awful look in them. The look of a madman that would kill anyone even her. For years she had been terrified of Gaara but then Naruto had changed him.
Looking at those blue expressive eyes of his she was reminded of those old times.
“Naruto you can tell me, whatever it is.” She told him her voice gaining a bit more of a gentle tone. She wasn’t sure why but seeing those eyes he had one now reached her. She felt a part of her wanting to comfort him, she wanted to see that usual happy look in them.
Naruto was silent a moment trying to get his courage.
“It’s just that...have you noticed how some of the villagers don’t like me?”
Temari nodded her head.
“There’s a reason for it. It’s not as bad as it used to be lately but I guess I can see why many of the older generation didn’t like me.” Naruto said. “Do you know of the Kyuubi attack over thirteen years ago?”
Temari nodded, “Yeah I read about it. The great Nine-Tailed Fox the most powerful of all the Biju, it attacked here and it was your Fourth Hokage that killed it.”
“Well, it turns out that it wasn’t really killed,” Naruto said.
Temari was confused as everyone knew the story, even those outside the village. It was said even Iwagakure no Sato celebrated the death of the Fourth every year on October 10^th. There was something about that date that was nagging her for some reason; it took her a moment to realize that it was Naruto’s birthday. She had memorized as much on him that Suna had and it was listed his birthday as October 10^th. In fact doing the math he had been born on the day the demon had attacked.
Then she remembered his fight with Gaara, when he had turned himself and that huge toad into a replica of the Nine-Tails. The sudden realization came crashing down on her, and why shouldn’t it, after all if she was right then Naruto was exactly like Gaara.
“You’re a Jinchuriki.” She said surprised by the revelation.
Naruto was taken aback by that, he didn’t figure that she would figure it out. She was a lot smarter than he had originally thought.
“So...you’re like Gaara then,” She said to him.
“Uh...yeah,” Naruto nodded his head a little afraid to look her in the eyes. He didn’t want to see any fear in them, he was actually starting to like her and it would be just like his luck for her to not like him because of the stupid fox in his body.
“A lot of the older generation didn’t like me because they saw me as the demon and not the jailer,” Naruto said sadly. “They never did anything physical...but no one would look at me and the few that did they only gave me those cold eyes. Some would say things like ‘demon brat’ and ‘monster’ to me.”
Temari couldn’t help but feel bad, she had seen what that kind of life had done to Gaara. It was amazing that Naruto hadn’t turned out the same.
“So everyone knows?”
Naruto shook his head, “The Third placed a law that no one was to talk about it or tell anyone else. The Old Man hoped that everyone in the younger generation would see me normally, but it didn’t work out so good.”
Temari could guess, the parents would most likely encourage their children to have the same behaviour towards Naruto that they had. Children, being children wouldn’t really question their parents after all? In a way it made her sick but then again how was she any different? Maybe if she had tried harder to be a better sister to Gaara he wouldn’t have turned out the same way. Her father had told her and Kankuro to avoid Gaara and like the good daughter she had done that.
It was just another reason she felt nothing for her father, he had torn their family apart.
“I was alone for a very long time,” Naruto said to her but then a small smile got on his lips. “But I had the Old Man, he could visit me often and then I found Iruka-sensei. And now I have a lot of friends and people that care for me, and people who I will protect.”
Temari was amazed that he could think that way, was this was what got through to Gaara? Was this the reason that he had liked the idea of her marrying Naruto, because her baby brother could relate to the other boy? To go through that kind of life and not end up like Gaara spoke to Temari of the kind of inner strength the boy had. She smiled a little remembering how she had seen that strength in the chunin exams and against Gaara himself.
Naruto’s smile faded a bit, “Anyways I just figured you deserved to know the truth before the wedding. That you should know what you’re getting into and...well I guess I can understand if...if you wouldn’t want to be with me.”
There was a sudden silence and then Naruto felt a fist hitting the back of his head.
“Baka!” Temari shouted angrily at him. “You really think that would mean much to me?”
Naruto holding the back of his head looked at her surprised.
“My brother when through all of that too, he’s like you remember?”
“Well yeah, but you were really scared of Gaara weren’t you?” He asked her confused. He would remember the terror that had been on her face when Gaara first showed up in that tree. He had been afraid to see that look of terror in her eyes when she was looking at him. But she wasn’t afraid of him, angry sure but he could live with that.
Temari’s anger fell away knowing what he was getting at. “I was afraid of Gaara, for so long he would have killed anyone if he felt like it. It was always dangerous being around him, but after you two fought something in him had changed. Before I came here we were actually repairing our relationship. I don’t know if I ever thanked you for that but I do.”
She looked him in the eyes and gave him a small smile, “Thank you for giving me my brother back.”
Naruto blinked a few times and smiled, he remembered how Gaara had seemed different but he hadn’t known about how Temari wasn’t terrified of him anymore.
Temari sighed as she recomposed herself, “Anyways it doesn’t matter. It does explain a few things about you though.”
“You’re the first person I told this secret to,” Naruto said a bit happy how she took it. “I mean I was afraid if others found out they would treat me like the older generation.”
“Well they’re idiots,” she said to him. “And you’re an idiot for thinking that of me. You should learn to trust me more, after all we’re going to be married soon, so we might as well start to trust each other more.”
Naruto smiled and nodded, “Yeah you’re right. I promise, no more secrets between us.”
Temari nodded her head in agreement.
“So, how come the demon hasn’t overcome you?” Temari asked out of curiosity. “I mean Gaara can’t sleep because of that demon and he’s got the weakest in him.”
Naruto blinked not sure exactly, “I guess the seal on me is different. I’ve only talked to the damn fox once...after I got pushed off a cliff, stupid Ero-Sennin.”
“He pushed you off a cliff!?” Temari wondered what the hell was wrong with that old pervert.
“It was to get me to draw on the Fox’s chakra and although I hate it, it did work.”
Temari made a mental note to not take any kind of training with that old man, he seemed to take things to the extreme. “Can I see you’re seal?”
Naruto blushed a bit as he pulled up his shirt, he closed his eyes and gathered the chakra. Temari was curious as the kind of seal that was on Naruto, she wanted to see the difference between this one and the one on her brother. Basically she wanted a comparison to see if there might be a reason why they had such a difference. She got her answer when she saw the seal on Naruto’s stomach of all places.
Temari wasn’t a seal master or even know all that much other than the basics but just by looking at the seal she knew it wasn’t a normal one. It was the most complex thing she had ever seen, she tried to figure out the bits and pieces she could guess at but over all it was way beyond her. It was also a lot more complex and strong than what Gaara had on him. This explained why Naruto wasn’t tormented by his demon, it was held back by the power of this seal.
“You’re lucky you know that.”
Naruto was confused by her statement when he pulled down his shirt.
“That kind of seal would let you have a lot more control, Gaara isn’t so lucky.” Temari sighed. “Even with your help he’s constantly at war with the demon, he has been all his life. If he had a seal like this on him he might have had a lot more control and even able to sleep normally.”
Naruto hadn’t thought about it that way, he always cursed the fact he had this sealed in him when he found out. But after meeting Gaara he could see where he could have easily been like that. If the Fox ever got more control over him, he knew the Fox would make him harm anyone and everything around him.
Then he thought that maybe there was a way to help him, he only just learned how to seal stuff into scroll. But Naruto did remember how Jiraiya had helped him with that thing Orochimaru did to his seal. A smile grew on his face as he planned to ask him the next time he saw him, if he could help Gaara with this seal like he had done with Naruto’s.
Now though he was feeling a lot better, he had been so worried that Temari would reject him but he guessed he should have known better.
She was the first person that he had admitted his greatest secret too and she had accepted him and it felt great. But in the end things had worked out and he was hoping that maybe his friends would one day accept this truth as well, when he was ready that is to tell them.
“Naruto.” Temari said to him.
“Yeah?” He asked and just as he turned he was hit on the head with her battle fan. Now he may have a hard head, but that thing was heavy and it hurt like hell. He fell onto his back covering his head.
“What was that for!?” Naruto managed to say after a moment.
“That was for something called ‘Sexy Jutsu’,” She said angrily and Naruto froze up. He looked up at the very angry girl towering over him.
“Uh…how did you know about that?” Naruto asked carefully, the pain in his head forgotten for the moment. He was too scared to feel pain.
“I met that little brat, Konohamaru.” She grinned evilly at him.
Naruto groaned in his head, for the first time he really wished he hadn’t taught him that move. He yelped out when she grabbed him by his collar and glared daggers at him right into his face. He was nervously sweating by now, he had forgotten how scary she could be when she was pissed.
“Now you look here,” Temari said dangerously. “We can’t get out of his marriage but there will be some ground rules. First off, you are never to use that thing in public. I may be a Leaf genin now, but I am still the daughter of a kage and we both have to put on a good face in the public because of the alliance our marriage represents.”
“Further more, you will not teach that to any of our children. It’s bad enough that you taught a child such a thing but you will not do the same for ours. You got that?” She told him and he flat out nodded his head as fast as he could.
“Good,” she said calmly and dropped him. “But make no mistake Naruto, you’ll have a lot of foot rubs to make up for that.”
She walked off leaving a sore and confused Naruto behind her. He rubbed his head as he squinted his eyes as he thought, one moment she was understanding, then she was violent and scary.
Plus what was that about kids!?
“Arg! I’m never going to understand women!” Naruto moaned out holding his head.
