Chapter 15
Kitsune Tails
“How many times are you going to come here?! I want you OUT! Right NOW!” Naruto attacked the man, his boyish frame was in utter agony and even here the walls seemed to drip blood. A massive fox was snarling and slamming up against the bars even as Itachi avoided the attack with a simple side step.
“I suggest you stop fighting me. You know you can’t fight me and keep holding back from the pain” He turned lightly, grabbing Naruto by the hair and sending him propelling in the opposite direction. He looked towards the beast, the snarling creature was smashing up against the cage in a mad way. He was truly trapped within the confines of Naruto’s mind now. It was terrifying that Orochimaru had succeeded.
“I SAID GET OUT!!!!” The power hadn’t come from Naruto completely. He was using the demons strength for it. The fiery rage swept through Itachi. What a nasty trick, all the pain Naruto was enduring was in that blast as well. Itachi took a step back and released a slightly shaky noise from his mouth. Sweat had tracked down the side of his face and his heart rate had picked up considerably. He composed himself and slid his eyes towards the lithe man that was waiting. He was taller than him by a foot at least. Still, Itachi’s black eyes went to slits as the snake like smirk was stretched over his face.
“Well?” Orochimaru asked obviously delighted.
“It’s contained completely. But…” Itachi frowned slightly looking over to the young boy strapped to the table. He had wires pouring from his body and the scarring on his belly and face were livid red. The boy was heaving, tears were coming from the closed eyes and he was twitching like puppy having a dream. Unconscious?
“I can remain in his mind for as long as you need, but he fights the entire time. It only makes it harder and that demon” He tore his eyes away from the blond boy’s body. “It’s stronger then you think”
Orochimaru was practically purring. “Well that’s why we’re developing your brother, isn’t that right? He’s becoming quite impressive, I knew we should have brought him in sooner but you had insisted” He wagged his finger as if he was admonishing a young child. Itachi was not amused by the gesture and narrowed his eyes even further as Orochimaru stepped over to the blond. Orochimaru checked the marking on the belly, a pale finger stroking over the livid flesh. The boy whimpered and jerked, before a small sob wrecked from his mouth. The narrow chest heaved.
“Orochimaru” Itachi clipped and the man pulled away leaving the boy in peace, but it was at a price. “Let’s get your brother” Orochimaru said in a drool way. “I think it’s time” His head turned and he didn’t see the spasm of anger on Itachi’s face. “Keep him stable. I don’t need him flat lining on the table….again” He warned one of the doctors and the man visibly winced and nodded. Itachi fell into step behind the man his eyes slightly narrowed until they reached the door. “You know they have already gotten close” Itachi said and saw the man nod.
“Yes. That is why this is perfect. He trusts him after all. He will let him in and I will get what I want.” He turned his head and the curling smirk had fallen. “Is that anger I see on your face? I suggest you remove it and just do what I have you here for.”
“Of course.” Itachi’s voice went flat and he opened the slat of the doorway and peered in. What a mess the little boy was. The head jerked up, blood was streaming from the corners of those young red and black eyes. Itachi’s own flared to life. “It’s time for you to begin your work Sasuke” He said and opened the door. The boy stood and sniffed and looked away.
“I don’t...I don’t want too..I heard Naru…you’re hurting him...” Little hands twisted at the bottom of his shirt.
Yes he was good. Even this early he could fight the suggestions and his own abilities. “Don’t you want to see Naruto? Don’t you want to make him feel better?” Orochimaru crooned and at this Sasuke was nodding and hurried towards the door. Itachi grabbed his shoulder and squeezed hard. The boyish head tilted back, he looked down at him before nodding. “He’s this way” Itachi released the shoulder and Sasuke staggered forward towards the room operation room.
~
‘That’s how it started of course’ Kyuubi thrummed lightly, ‘They brought you to me and Naruto trusted you. He let you in and this place became a safe haven.’
“How can you know all this? How can you know the details of Itachi’s face or thoughts and what Orochimaru said and did??” Sasuke demanded, not liking where this was going. The beast laughed throwing his head back in the effort.
‘I listen with my vessels ears, smell with his nose, and see with his eyes. It’s more than that. I know these things because I know you Uchiha, you melded your minds with my vessel so your memories became my own. As did Itachi. I know more than you can ever dream…now listen! I have more to tell you’
~
“How much longer are you going to let me beat you?? Huh? God you’re a fucking disgrace no wonder we can’t do any missions you’d just fuck them up all the time” Sasuke snarled nastily from one side of the mat, taunting the blond. It was the usual fight but he was growing more annoyed and irritated, the last session of experiments had left the back of his shoulder aching and spasming. He would have surges in his abilities then they would stagnant and then they would surge again. Not just that, there was this constant sensation at the back of his mind. Like a big he couldn’t seem to get rid of. He knew it was his brother at the back of his mind, he wished he could just shake him off!
“Language! The both of you!” Iruka roared but he was ignored as they clashed again in the middle of the mat sweat and blood flying as they met furiously. Sasuke’s blade sang before crashing into the heavier fighting blades Naruto had.
“BASTARD! Why are you such…..a fucking…asshole today?!” Naruto reiterated each word with his own weapon. Sasuke sent him a sneering smile, “Maybe…because that’s…just….what I am….An asshole!” He replied nastily. Out of the corner of his eye he saw it. It was just a shadow in a doorway but he knew who that shadow was. Naruto sent him flaying across the mat with a well-aimed kick and he hissed in response the throbbing in his shoulder growing. “HA!” Naruto roared out in delight. Sasuke lips curled, the tickling sensation only seemed to grow at the back of his mind. He tried to force it out but Naruto was already moving this time he was fully using the beast’s strength. He was learning control.
Destroy it
The thought filtered through his mind like it was his own. Was it his own? Destroy it? Why would he destroy it?
Destroy it.
Again it came and Sasuke’s stance shifted as he attacked Naruto without a qualm or hesitation, the eyes blazing red and black, and scrawling black inky snakes crept over his body. Itachi looked up and met Kakashi’s eyes, he didn’t look away but other man did. Dropping his gaze Itachi saw Naruto barely avoiding the blade but before Sasuke could step in to make a final blow Kakashi was between them throwing them apart.
“Training is over” Kakashi said darkly looking between them. “Sasuke. Lower your blade”
Itachi pulled back and Sasuke’s blade dropped down towards the mat, the scrawling black ink fading. His chest was heaving and pain riddled his body. He fell to one knee, his sword falling from his hand. Where had that come from he had almost…”YOU BASTARD! You almost fucking got me!!” He was tackled down to the ground, Naruto having wriggled out of Kakashi’s grip and slammed his shoulders down to the mat. Sasuke hissed in pain, “get off” He mumbled but the blond peered at him curiously, his outrage replaced by concern. “You ok??” Sasuke threw him off, he rolled to his feet and grabbed his sword in one fluid motion. He stalked off without a backwards glance towards the trio.
~
‘I knew his taint was on you Sasuke. I could smell him in your actions. He played you like a puppet little boy’ Kyuubi drawled huskily. ‘Do you want me to show you the rest?’ The snarling amused noise rumbled from the massive fox throat and he shook his head the tails lashing lightly. ‘Maybe Ill just tell you. It might scar your oh so soft minds.’
“Just get on with it!” Sasuke hissed angrily even as the fox laughed again. The sound sent a chill down his spine and he found himself touching the hilt of the blade.
‘That is useless you know. Just what you like to carry. But I’ll tell you. Your brother came to you that evening. He immobilized the guards and unlocked your door. He had you dress and bare your sword. Don’t you remember? That dream of someone whispering in your ear. Who did you think it was? Orochimaru?’ The fox muzzle pressed to the bars and the flames flicked out past them towards both Naruto and Sasuke. ‘No. No…your brother…your brother planned this from day one. He would dismantle everything Orochimaru had ever done. His test subjects. His buildings. You.’
The fox was sneering down at them. ‘And the best part is.....you became enemy number one before you even left your cell. He made sure of it. Even Naruto thought you were a stranger….so very well done on his part…he even came begging for my strength and I knew I couldn’t tell him any different. I gave him strength so he wouldn’t die’’
Sasuke scowled angrily, “What the hell did I do?!” He roared slamming his fist up against the bars and the teeth snapped at him in warning then pulled back baring them in a snarling grin.
‘Do? Why that’s a simple answer.’
Kyuubi brought his nose back down and turned his head, his massive eye fully on Sasuke. ‘You killed them all. You took that pretty blade of yours and Cut. Them. Down. Even my incompetent vessel couldn’t stop you. Oh he tried. Tried so very hard.’
Sasuke took a breath and staggered back a step even as the monster laughed in a keening manner. “I didn’t.” He started then looked to Naruto. The other was staring at him with wide blue eyes one hand touching his throat.
‘Oh yes…he forced his way in here. Don’t you remember Naruto. He forced his way in. And he tried to kill me from here. When that didn’t succeed he tried to kill your body. Oh yeeeesss. Why would I lie about this, hmm?’
“I didn’t!” Sasuke snarled but he knew it was a lie. He could feel it in his bones. He had done that. He had gone after them one by one in the middle of the night. He had killed them all.
“Get. Out” Naruto snarled but Kyuubi growled. ‘You don’t even know the entire truth yet. It gets so much better!’ He crowed loudly.
“They’re still alive! How could I have killed them but they’re alive now??” Sasuke demanded grabbing Naruto before the other could fling himself at him. “I HAVE to know” He hissed he dared to look away from the monster and into those cerulean blue eyes. There wasn’t an ounce of caring in them. Nothing but rage and hurt. Naruto shoved him back in disgust.
“How?!” Sasuke turned back. “How could I kill people only to meet them again years later?!” He slammed on the bars to get the foxes attention. The tails lashed wildly and Kyuubi growled at him. ‘All I know is I had to repair this stupid humans body before he bled out all over the place…even then he was unconscious for a long time. Maybe just maybe…’ The fox leered at him, ‘They are just figments of both of your imaginations brought on by Itachi’s meddling’ He let out another snarling laugh at their expressions. ‘Or maybe….even with all of Itachi’s efforts you couldn’t truly hit their kill spots…too much sentimental attachments’
A wave of heat slammed into him and Sasuke staggered back and out of Naruto’s mind. He sucked in a gasping breath barely dodging the swinging fist that came at his face.
“You…BASTARD! They were right! They were ALL FUCKING RIGHT!” Naruto roared lunging himself at Sasuke infuriated to almost tears. “You KILLED them all! You tried to kill me! Have you been laughing about how stupid we are this entire time?!”
Sasuke scowled grabbing the arm and sending Naruto into the ground. “Hardly! I didn’t remember it! I wouldn’t have done it…” he jumped back as Naruto raced towards him again. “LIAR!!!” Naruto screeched at him. Sasuke was jolted it wasn’t just anger in those eyes, there were tears. His jaw clenched and as Naruto came at him Sasuke let him grab him by the midsection and they both went tumbling into the ditch on the side of the road. He allowed Naruto get one swinging punch into his face and through the pain he was flipping them over. He pinned Naruto into the mud panting hard. Damn he could taste blood in his mouth.
“Fucking. Stop!” He growled past gritted teeth, “It was fucking Itachi. It was him. I wouldn’t have done that. I wouldn’t have gone after you. You wouldn’t have gone after me. Remember what that damn fox said. Itachi made you my enemy and vice versa he has THAT much power! This is exactly what they wanted!” He slammed him harder down into the ground but Naruto bucked under him and with the unsettling of his Sasukes body wright was crushing him into some kind of pipe. Sasuke clenched at the pain but didn’t fight back as Naruto bared his teeth.
“This is what Akatsuki….wants” Sasuke breathed out taking in the snarling face. “They knew you would kill me if you really remembered. They expected you to remember but you didn’t. They want me….dead for some reason. And for some reason my brother let us escape…” His eyes faded to the deep black, he was utterly spent. Everything in his body hurt. The back of his neck throbbed, a part of his face was already bruising from Naruto’s fist. His eyes burned in a way he only remembered from his childhood and his head was killing him.
“You kill me. They fucking win” He whispered reaching up and touching the hand digging into his collar. The expressions flitted over the blonds face. Uncertainty, rage, hate, and finally resignation. The blond head fell against Sasuke’s shoulder and they both slumped back in the mud and watery ditch. Sasuke let out a soft sigh of relief. “We can’t let them win. I can’t let them have you…and you can’t let them kill me” He whispered the words quietly. He was sure they were a sight, they were in a rural area but that didn’t mean no one would come rolling by. They had to keep moving.
The head jerked up at his words and suddenly the man’s mouth was against his own in a brutal kiss before Naruto yanked back so suddenly that Sasuke was dropped into the muck. The blond dragged himself out of the ditch and started his stumbling walk down the road. Sasuke watched him go and finally pulled himself out as well. It was already moving towards morning. Had they really been inside Naruto’s mind that long??
He watched the blond tense back but didn’t bother to try and catch up. Had he really done all those things? Had they really been orchestrated by his brother? Why? What the hell was his motive?? Pinching the bridge of his nose he let out another calming breath.
He killed Orochimaru’s test subjects, or had tried. He and his brother escaped to fend for themselves before joining Akatsuki. They did countless missions around the world destroying property, taking out federal agents, disrupting the peace. Even capturing those on the run.
Then when he wants to get out Akatsuki send him back to his group to be killed. He was told Orochimaru had died during the escape of his test subjects but…could that even be true? Was he the one behind all this? His eyes flickered up towards the lightening sky.
Orochimaru would want him back wouldn’t he though? He was success after all. So was Itachi. He rubbed at his sore cheek and grimaced at the sensation of a loose tooth.
Itachi let him live, and so far had let them be one step ahead, why though? What was his brother’s motives for this? He wanted to get him out of Orochimaru’s clutches, he could see that, but this? He winced a little and reached back rubbing at his shoulder. Damn why was that aching so much?!
He recounted Kyuubi’s story over and over again in his head, trying to piece together his own memories that were now waking up. Kyuubi had said Itachi had wanted to kill all of the test subjects. Why hadn’t he done it himself? Why had he sent his little brother in for the slaughtering?
Destroy them.
He remembered that, Itachi really had been in his head, had put that idea there and pushed him into action. No one was dead. It had failed? Or had it? Itachi had pulled him out in the chaos and they escaped. Only to be pulled back into the world of killing by another group of similar freaks. How had he not noticed how odd they all were?
Slowly Itachi had separated them…he was doing missions on his own and even some of them he completed but not always the way he was supposed to.
There had to be something bigger going on that he wasn’t seeing. Itachi had ample opportunity to kill any of them, especially when they were younger. If he wanted to destroy Orochimaru’s successes then it was simple matter so what was his true intentions?
Why would he disobey orders from Akatsuki? That had been bothering him the entire time they had been running. He never disobeyed a direct order, until now. At Naruto’s house, he had given him a warning shot, on the bridge he had engaged with Kakashi but otherwise when Sasuke pulled Naruto from his grip he had let him. So why?
Was this how Itachi showed he was his brother? Could it be that simple? Sasuke could barely get that thought wrapped in his mind fully. He thought of what he had done though while they were with Orochimaru, what he had made him do. No it wasn’t that simple. He had killed his best friend, or tried too.
Sasuke re-arranged the thoughts again in his mind. Itachi had let him go and find those like him, Shikamaru brings along knowledge of others like them as well. Possibly still trapped. It felt as if they were almost getting herded and directed. His eyes slightly widened and he stopped, the gravel side of the road crunching under his muddied boots. Didn’t Shikamaru mention that there was another like Naruto? How did he phrase it?
“Powerhouse.” He said out loud. Naruto stopped suddenly and whirled on the spot, “What was that bastard?” He snarled. Sasuke ignored his tone and the bait to argue. “I said…powerhouse” He pinched the bridge of his nose as he thought. “Shikamaru said that while he was under Kabuto’s thumb there was another, someone like you. A powerhouse...his name was…”
“Gaara” Naruto said the name his eyes watching Sasuke carefully. “So what? You’re saying there’s other demons out there that Orochimaru put into people??” He asked scoffing lightly but there was a little fear in his eyes.
“Maybe there are.” Sasuke whispered the words and finally met Naruto’s eyes. ”If he’s done this to others I’m sure Akatsuki would want their hands on them” His mind went back to the only time he had ever seen Itachi wounded. He had come back from a mission, bloodied head to toe…he had said it had been a success then he had gone to his room and hadn’t come out for days, only allowing in certain doctors.
“Sasuke…”
Sasuke dark eyes came back to the present, the blond was stock still on the spot, but Naruto wasn’t looking at him. They were looking down. Sasuke’s eyes followed the gaze and a chill went down his spine at the slender black hand that was wrapped around Naruto’s ankle. It was coming straight out of the ground.
“Gooooot…Yoooou” a voice jeered delightfully.
~*~
The room wasn’t large, there was a table lit by a single over head lamp. It set the corners pitched in darkness. A man sat at the head of the table a glass of brandy on the slick black surface. He was surveying his guests who were all sitting calmly around the table. A few select were stationed at the corners of the room.
“I see you have all arrive” His voice was smooth even as he leaned back in his chair, the shadows deepening on his face. The chairs around the table were all occupied by similarly shadowed figures. “Of course, we have waited a long time for this” One drawled light, “You have what we need?” An annoyed voice asked. The man at the head of the table chuckled humorlessly and finally pulling out the tablet. Carefully he placed it, screen forward towards his guests. On the bright screen was a grid with ten slots. Each slot had a photograph, underneath each photo was a single name.
“You have them all?” Another leaned forward a smirk pulling at his mouth, obviously pleased by what he was seeing. A small murmur of voices slipped like whispering leaves around the table. Excitement filled all their voices.
“Im afraid he doesn’t” A voice said ponderously from one dark corner. Heads turned towards it and the small glass cup clinked on the table after a second. “This was a closed meeting.” The voice was dark and dangerous with anger.
The other that had spoken stepped forward into the dim light, his glasses glinted and the grey hair fell haphazardly around his face. He was young and almost boyish in the smile he gave them and inclined his head towards their host.
“I know it was but I couldn’t help myself but join it, you see I do have a vested interest in this as well.” He spoke his words carefully and silkily the smile never fading. “A vested interest perhaps but you don’t have the coin to sit at a seat” An annoyed sigh before the hand raised. “Leave.” It was an obvious command and the three others stationed in the corners slipped closer towards the intruder but the young man didn’t move from the spot. Instead he stepped forward and leaned over the table. His finger brushed one of the images and brought up the young blond.
“I believe I do have the coin to be here. But, you don’t have the right to call this meeting because you don’t have him” He pulled back, his eyes staring into the darkness of the seat and finally the man leaned forward into the light revealing the swirling red eyes and wild black hair.
“The Kyuubi is of no consequence at this time. I will have him in under 72 hours” There was a sinister edge to his tone but the young man didn’t seem phased in the least.
“72 hours? He’s been missing for years now.” He mused lightly and moved around the table. “It’s interesting you are just NOW trying to capture him, what’s stopped you before? Why now? Why wait?” His voice was light even as the eyes followed him as he moved fluidly around the table.
“He is correct, you have found them all except Kyuubi, why have you called us here if you have not captured the final one?” Another voice peaked sinisterly.
“Because” Those red eyes slid around narrowed, “We can still put our plans in motion regardless,” He looked up to the other who had gone silent. “And I intend to put everything in motion. Now Kabuto, if you have the coin, please sit and join us” He gestured to one seat that was available closest to him. Kabuto sat and steeple his fingers a moment. “I appreciate the invite. Why don’t I start then?” He looked to the screen still brightly showing the boy grinning weakly in the photo. “I would like to offer 11 billion for the Kyuubi” He drawled lightly the smirk curling across his features and his eyes narrowing in delight.
