Political Alliance
Chapter 30: Path of Darkness
It was the afternoon and a few days since his 'house guest' had moved in with him. Sasuke had been training none stop with the girl when he got away from his team and then went with Tayuya to train in the use of the curse seal. Slowly he felt he was getting somewhere, but he couldn't help be motivated when she had shown him the second level of the mark. That form had looked powerful to him, she had later explained that like the markings, the second form was different for each person. He wondered what kind of form he would have and the power it would hold.
Unlike the training with his team, this training felt like he was actually learning something. Kakashi was being more even with his team, teaching them in groups and wasn't teaching them any new jutsus as he felt they were coming along fine. Well that wasn't good enough for Sasuke.
For Tayuya she had been watching him as he worked, the boy she had to admit put more effort into training than even most ninja she knew. But she knew what kind of motivation revenge could be. It was a fire that burned inside of you and wouldn't stop no matter what until it was satisfied. Although it was extremely boring in this village, she had to put on a genjutsu or even change her hair color and clothing and walk out looking like a civilian at times. Mainly it was just because she was getting cabin fever just waiting around all day for him to get back. Hell, by this point she looked forward to his time here. At least he was someone to talk to and train with.
Sure it was mostly work related but anything was better than nothing. Still, she was starting to lose patience with how long this was taking. The boy should have left long ago but he was still here. She had been trying to be subtle with pushing him to leave but she soon found out that you had to plant the seeds and let things go from there. Any direct approach wouldn't work with him.
Currently they were taking a break from the training, both were sitting out on one of the decks looking at the setting sun. She was suddenly brought back to an old memory, of a life so long ago and far away that it seemed more like the life of someone else. She wasn't that person anymore, she hadn't been for years. Although her patience was starting to run out, she really didn't like staying in a village that if they found out she was part of the team that had held in their previous Hokage with Orochimaru, well it wouldn't be good for her.
Sasuke was at the moment sitting on the floor in the lotus position trying to bring his curse seal powers to their full potential. He had his eyes closed as he tried to bring the power out of him. He could feel the darkness in it as it slowly moved through his body. He could feel his body becoming stronger and by now he felt that he had more control over it. He was taught to let the power flow all over and through him, to allow it to roam through his body at a constant rate. It reminded him of his tree climbing exercise. He had to keep it at a constant rate, too much and it would overwhelm him. Too little and it would be too uncontrollable. IF it fought it, then that's why he felt pain earlier in his fight with Gaara.
She had explained how he had been trying to use his own chakra but had also been drawing out the curse seal at the same time but was denying the curse seal. Plus Kakashi's current seal on him wasn't helping either. But with the training he had found he could finally draw out the power at will and without any pain.
"How long do we have to keep doing this?" Sasuke finally asked as he opened his eyes looking at her. "I got this under control now."
"Look if you want more I can only teach you so much," Tayuya said annoyed at him. "Only Orochimaru-sama can give you the full power and even more."
Sasuke had heard this all before. He sighed as the power slowly went away, he stood up and glared at her. "You always say that, don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. I know you want me to leave and go with you but I have to know if he can keep his promises of power. I won't waste my time anymore."
"He can give you the revenge you want," she told him seriously.
"And how do you know that?"
She paused, this was the moment she would have to tell him. It would be the only way to get him to know that Orochimaru could give him revenge. She just didn't want to relive that old life but she had a mission. "You think you're the only one that has suffered? You think you're the only one that wanted revenge for being wronged?"
"And how would you know that? You ever wanted revenge for your life and family being destroyed."
"Yes, I do you asshole!" She shouted at him. "You're not the only one that knows the pain of that."
Sasuke looked at her for a moment he hadn't expected that but looking into her eyes he could see she was telling the truth. Those eyes, eyes filled with pain and revenge were the eyes he looked into the mirror all the time. Especially lately, after his last meeting with Itachi all he could think about was killing his brother. "So did he ever give you what you wanted?"
"Yes he did," She said as she sat down and thought back to the memories. "I suppose I should tell you the whole story but I'm only saying this fucking once, you miss anything too bad. I'm not telling you anything twice or anything got it?" She glared at him as she saw him nod his head.
Flashback
It had all started back years ago in one of the smaller nations. She had only been ten years old at the time. Her village was a farming community that worked in a fairly secluded area. She had been an only child in her family and she knew little of the world. What was the point? After all she was learning from her mother to how to be a normal girl, she learned how to do everything from her. Her father even taught her how to play a flute, something she kept doing all her life.
She didn't remember much of her village, but she did remember was that she had enjoyed her life. But then one day it had all changed. She had been helping her mother with the washing when the shouting had started that's when they knew something had been wrong. She had pieced it together after the fact but a group of bandits had came to the village. Since most main villages usually held contracts with certain ninja villages or were protected by other forces. But it was the smaller ones that suffered, they couldn't afford protection or weren't important enough to justify stationing troops.
They ran to the house, Tayuya had remembered how scared she had been. Before than the most violence she had seen was when some of the men got a little drunk in the streets. She saw black smoke rising and knew there was a fire, how bad she wasn't sure at that moment. She just remembered that her mother rushed her into their home. Their home was slightly elevated off the ground as they had plenty of rain in the village it prevented their homes from flooding.
Her mother had been scared, when Tayuya asked about her father her mother just said that he was most likely fine, but even at that age she knew that her mother had no idea. Her mother pulled aside a heavy basket and pulled up a section of the floor. Years later Tayuya guessed that villages like hers usually had small places like this just in case of attack. She was quickly placed inside and told that no matter what she wasn't to say or do anything.
Tayuya waited under her home, she could hear the sounds of battle outside. Cries and screams along with all kinds of things that gave her nightmares for a very long time after it. Then the door to her home opened, at first she thought it was her father but there were many heavy footsteps. She had to cover her own mouth as she heard her mother shout and fight the men. But they were many and she had been just one. Tayuya closed her eyes wishing she could block out the sounds that came next but she couldn't take them away from her mouth in fear she couldn't trust herself not to make a sound. She had to hear what went on above her, until finally her mother was quiet.
She felt the tears on her young face but still made no sound. She listened as they searched her home and then she waited. They left her home and she stayed, she had no idea how long she was under there. Day turned to night and finally when all she heard were the sounds of the night she crawled out. She found that she was the only survivor of that day. She found her mother and closed the door to the room, she couldn't look in there again. She found her neighbours and friends, even a young boy that she couldn't remember his name anymore, only that he brought her a flower once.
She found an empty home and stayed there, the food would last for sometime but not forever. She couldn't sleep for the entire night. She just huddled in a corner and held herself as her mind tried to process what happened. Her life had been destroyed that day. She found a couple of the men that had attacked her village dead, a pitchfork was in one, another had a scythe had decapitated him. They wore a strange symbol on their clothing. She took one she wasn't sure why only that she felt it might be important one day.
She had no idea how long she had been there, or how long it had been. The place stank of death when a new group showed up. She hadn't left the village because where would she go? She had no knowledge of anything outside of the area. She had no idea where to go or what to do so she had stayed, for the simple reason that she had nowhere else to go.
When strangers entered the village dressed in strange clothing she thought it might be them returning or another group. She waited with a knife she had found and hid herself. She wouldn't let other harm her again. She saw that one of them was alone from the others and so she ran at him. He only had the time to turn and cry out as she stabbed him. He didn't die right away but she kept on stabbed him. She was so filled with anger, pain and rage she didn't notice when he had stopped moving on the ground, when she was covered in blood or when his friends pulled her off him.
"We should kill this bitch, look at what she did," One of the masked men said.
"Look at her, she looks like a filthy animal," another said who was holding her as she fought him.
"Has she been here this entire time?" Another one who was looking around asked the others. "This place is dead, is she a survivor?"
"Who cares," The first said pulling out a kunai. "She's dead."
"Hold it," a calm voice said and all of them froze immediately.
It was then that she saw him for the first time Orochimaru walked up to her and looked her in the eyes. She saw something in his eyes that made her freeze, something that was almost inhuman in his eyes as he stared into her, studying her. He grinned as he judged something about her. "So you survived and killed one of my men. I have to say that interests me, maybe you were given a reason to live. Tell me child, what would you do? If there is anything you want to do what would it be?"
She couldn't look away from his commanding eyes, she found herself answering him despite herself. "I want them dead. The ones that did this, I want them all to die!"
He chuckled at her answer and motioned for the one holding her to let go. "Tell me, if I offer you the power to kill them would you swear your loyalty to me? Would you serve me?"
She didn't even had to think on it, she had no life here anymore she had nothing. This man was offering her a way to kill those that he taken her life. She looked up at him with a cold fire in her eyes. "Yes."
Present time
"So did you ever find them?" Sasuke asked hearing the story.
"Eventually," Tayuya said to him looking at him. "It was my initiation into the Sound Four. I was to kill the entire group on my own, which was just fine to me. I waited until dark while watching them. At first I took out the people on watch easily enough. Then made my way through the small camp, there were only fifty of them anyway. I was going to make sure none of them got away."
"When I was ready, I used my flute to call on my three Doki. They ran through the camp killing everyone I could find. I had set up traps in the day that when the few that fled tripped them up. I made sure that those traps were set up to ensure they would suffer before death as well. Then I found the leader of the group, the one that had ordered and led the attack on my home."
"I saved him for last, and when I got around to him, I had the Doki pull his arms and legs off." She grinned at the memory. All the pain and suffering that man had caused in his life was paid back in full. "I watched him die, he begged at first but then he cursed me all kinds of ways. Eventually the blood lose got to him and he finally died. I went back and took my place in the team."
Sasuke looked at her almost for the first time she had avenged her past through Orochimaru it would seem. He didn't find any lie in her story or in her words. It would also seem that Orochimaru for whatever else he was did deliver on his promises. That was something to think over.
-Konoha Streets-
At this moment Naruto was walking with Sakura, they had run into each other and decided to walk together since they were going the same way. It had been some time since they had hung out lately as they were all busy it seemed.
"So how are things going?" Sakura asked her teammate who was walking with his hands behind his head.
"Going great," Naruto smiled at her, "Temari-chan says that pretty soon I'll be able to finally start learning wind jutsu. Although she wants to start me off small, but I'm sure that I'll get some new kickass jutsu!"
Sakura couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm. "It seems everyone is doing something these days. You and Temari are training together Sasuke-kun is doing...something. Honestly I'm a little worried about him. Does he seem more distant lately?"
Naruto thought about it and nodded as he got a bit more serious, "Yeah he's starting to piss me off with his attitude lately. I mean he just goes off alone after we're done for the day with the team, I don't see him around and hardly says anything."
Sakura nodded, Sasuke was getting more and more distant it seemed. She had no idea why, she kept trying to talk to him but he just ignored her or said she was annoying. She thought about visiting him but she knew that wouldn't be a good idea unless he actually invited her. She did respect his privacy enough not to try something like that. But she was stumped as to what was going on with him.
"Maybe he's just sulking about something," Naruto thought randomly. "Or he's just secretly training."
"Maybe," Sakura said as they walked on. She sighed as she thought about that. "You know I've been looking up things in the library about different types of ninja. I mean Temari is a wind user that uses her battle fans, you're a ninjutsu expert given how fast you learn high rank jutsus."
"Really?" He blinked that was one of the few times she really complimented him. He grinned broadly at that, he always liked it when people complimented him. "Thanks Sakura-chan, I never really thought what type of ninja I was. I know I suck as genjutsu and my taijutsu is being improved on thankfully."
Sakura had noticed that, "Yeah but then you get to me. I don't come from some family of ninja or anything to learn from."
"Hey me neither," Naruto offered.
She paused to think on that, at least she had a family Naruto didn't, well until he married at least. "Well what I mean is that I had no idea what kind of ninja I wanted to be. Usually you find your talents in something and train in that, but with my chakra control there is only two real paths for me. Either genjutsu but Kakashi-sensei only knows how to deal with those because he has a sharingan."
"Then the only other route is medical jutsu," in fact there were a couple of other things but she didn't like them. Plus the last mission had shown her that their team needed a medic. Kakashi had to use only basic medical skills to take care of their injuries. When they had gotten back they had to go to the hospital to get checked out. She wanted to be useful to her team, she felt like she was watching them all get farther and farther away from her.
"Oh you mean like Baa-chan?" Naruto said to her.
"Naruto! You shouldn't call her that," She chided him. "Honestly you should have more respect for the Hokage."
"I will when she stops pretending she's not fifty," He countered. Honestly, he didn't see the point in pretending you were younger than what you were. To him hiding behind a genjustu because you didn't want people to see your real age was silly. So he felt it was his duty to remind her that she wasn't young anymore. Well that and he knew how much it irritated her.
"Anyway...you think if I asked for her to train me she would?" Sakura knew that asking training from the Hokage herself was not something most people would even try. After all, what were the odds that the Hokage would agree to that, plus the training would most likely be very intense. But she didn't care about that, she needed the training. From her time with Temari, Sakura had seen that she was behind where she should be and she needed to do something to catch up.
Plus if she was going to train as a medic, she wanted to be trained by the best so her skills would be an asset for her team. Although she was really nervous, what if the Hokage didn't train her, when what would she do? Maybe she could find help elsewhere but she really needed this. She needed to pull her own weight and be there to support her team in the best way she could and this was the way she needed to do it. She just needed for the Hokage to see this and then maybe hopefully she might be given a chance.
Naruto noticed her worried look and smiled at her, "Hey don't worry. Baa-chan is pretty smart and she knows good potential when she sees it. You'll just have to be honest with her and show her your determination and she'll train you."
"You really think so?"
Honestly he had no idea, it just sounded good to him. Naruto was a firm believer that if you kept a positive attitude then there was nothing you can do as long as you threw in all your will behind it. It had worked for him up to this point anyway so why change something that wasn't broken?
"Of course, plus I believe in you and I know you can do this!"
She smiled at him it was nice to hear that from someone. In fact she realized that he had always been there for her and had been trying to make her feel better. She just hadn't noticed it before now. She felt a little bad not noticing him before but she had resolved to be a better friend to him, and to let him know that they were good friends now.
"Thanks Naruto, you're a good friend you know that?"
He only smiled brightly at her chuckling a bit, just happy to hear that.
-Former Uchiha District-
Anko walked along the disserted streets, not many people liked to come down this way. Not that she blamed them the sight of a massacre wasn't the type of place you wanted to live in. Many of the houses were falling into disrepair from being abandoned. Looking around she saw that a few had been damaged in the Sound/Sand invasion. A fire had caught on and had burned up a few houses before it had been put out. Thankfully no one lived in them. She heard the stories, everyone had, how the spirits of the dead haunted this place. Kids would dare others to go into the so called 'haunted houses', it was kind of annoying when they had to call in ninja to deal it at times.
One of the great ironies was that it used to the old Uchiha police forced that usually dealt with this kind of things. She didn't remember much about that old force but from what she heard it certainly freed up their ninja for other matters. They still hadn't been able to find a way to replace that unit, even after all these years. The only professional police force was all dead no one was left to train the others. So they had to relearn everything that the Uchiha clan had started. There were reports and a few manuals for recruits that had been found in the old police station but without anyone of experience to teach them, it was trail and error.
Well it wasn't her problem she wasn't involved in anything like that thankfully. She walked up to the only house that looked both cared for and lived in. This was obviously the place so she walked right up to the front door. She considered what approach to use, but what was the fun in that? So she knocked on the door and waited. She knew the boy had to be here, after all she could hear something moving around in there. She sighed and waited, she mentally counted as she figured how long it was to open a damn door.
So when that time came and gone she tried to door, it was locked of course. Not that would stop her, she pulled out her lock picks and within seconds unlocked it. She snorted at that, as a ninja clan you'd think the Uchiha would have invested in some decent locks. She easily opened the door and walked right in.
"Hey anyone home?" She yelled out looking around the place.
"What are you doing here?" Sasuke said annoyed as he walked into the room. He didn't like people that just came into his home, especially since he wasn't alone. He took a moment and remembered this as that strange women in charge of the second stage of the chunin exams. "Why are you here?"
"Kakashi asked me to talk to you, since you and I have something in common." Anko told him flat out.
Sasuke scowled a bit, he didn't know that Kakashi knew this woman well enough to ask her to talk to him. He guessed that he should have seen something happen with how he had been. But honestly he didn't see much of a difference than how he normally was, and he was busy. But what he couldn't figure out was what in the world he had in common with this strange woman.
"That's why you broke into my home?" Sasuke asked of her.
"Yeah well I got impatient I mean does it take you that long to answer the door?" She told him blowing off the fact she could literally get in trouble for doing so, off like it meant nothing to her. "Look kid, Kakashi is worried and he's wondering if it has anything to do with this."
She pulled her top by her neck aside to show off her own curse mark but with Kakashi's new and improved seal around it. Sasuke hadn't known that this woman had this as well, but then why didn't she use it? She obviously had Kakashi to something with it, was this that new seal that he offered him earlier? It made sense on how he got it working, but still he wasn't convinced that this thing wasn't a curse. He had much more control over it now and honestly he didn't see the problem.
"Look kid if you are using this or not I don't want to know, so you don't have to worry about saying anything you don't want to. Just listen to the voice of experience," Anko told him seriously. "You may not know this but Orochimaru was my jonin sensei. He taught me a lot, although I didn't know it at the time, I was just a tool for him. You see before he was found out he took me somewhere, I don't really remember all the details, he took a lot of memories from me somehow."
It was a sore spot for her, how much he took from her she never knew. There were huge gaps in her memory and there was no telling what exactly she was missing. She spent a lot of time trying to fill in those blanks but she knew she might never fully remember. Who knows what kind of important things to her that had been stolen from her.
"Anyways, he took me somewhere out of the way to put this on me," She pointed to where the seal was. "Then he just left me to die, I don't know why. If ANBU hadn't come across me I most likely would have died. I don't know why he picked me but if I had died then no one would have found me. I was used and then tossed away. That's how he works, if you've outlived your usefulness to him you're nothing to him."
"This damn thing has been a literal pain in my neck since I got it. It hurts sometimes and it can mess with me in important times, I could have been killed because of this." This was very true in the case when Orochimaru had come to this village, the seal had flared up in his presence and it had nearly cost her, her life.
"That's the thing with his 'gifts', they're like a snake. If you aren't careful with them, they'll bite you and you'll pay for it. And trust me, if there is anything I know it's how snakes are."
Sasuke took this in but honestly he wasn't sure even she had all the facts, she admitted to now having all her memories and given that he was actually being trained, he had more control and the pain he hadn't felt in a long time. If she had gotten some kind of training then she most likely wouldn't have these problems.
"Well you don't have to worry about it then, if that's all you came then you can show yourself out." He told her.
"Oh? One small talk and then you want to get rid of me huh?" Anko had a feeling that there was something going on. Maybe Kakashi had been right after all, the curse mark was also seductive in a way, it offered power but the price was just too high.
Sasuke was trying to think of a way to get her out of here, the longer she stayed the more complicated things could get. She was growing suspicious and he couldn't have her looking too close into his life. There had to be some way of getting rid of her that made her think that nothing was going on.
"Sasuke-kun~," A very familiar female voice called out that made the boy's eyes bulge out.
'What the hell is she thinking!?' He mentally yelled out as he turned to look and stood there shocked.
Tayuya came around the corner only in a bath towel that barely covered her body. "The bath will be getting cold so I thought-Oh! I'm sorry I didn't know Sasuke-kun had company!" She quickly hid herself behind the corner looking like a blushing teenager that had been caught by her parents.
Anko blinked a few times before laughing, "This is what's going on? Jeez kid didn't know you had a girl over. Damn, looks like the betting pool on your sexuality is done. Given how many girls threw themselves at you people were starting to talk. What's your name girl?"
"T-Tayuya miss," She did a really great job of sounding meek at the moment. "Please you're not going to tell my parents are you?"
Anko smirked at this, oh Kakashi was going to love this. "Naw, don't worry about it in fact I'll leave you two to it. Guess you really do want to keep the clan going huh?" She winked at Sasuke before letting herself out.
When she was long gone he glared at her, "What the hell was that all about?"
"Why I thought she needed a reason to know why you were being so secretive Sasuke-kun," She said still in her sweat teen voice.
"Knock that off."
"Fine with me asshole," She stated going back to normal. "You think I like stripping myself like this? I have my pride you know but look at it this way. At least now you have a cover story, so people won't be thinking you're doing something strange. She'll most likely tell your sensei about this and he'll leave it at that, or at least he should."
She had to admit it was quick thinking on her part, not many even knew what she looked like in this village so she was pretty safe there. She had been surprised to learn that this woman had the curse seal, from the sounds of it she was one of the first test groups, which one she had no idea, but it was certainly interesting. She also noticed the slight blush on the boy as he tried not to look at her. She grinned, it was kind of funny, the big bad Uchiha was still just a boy after all.
"What's the matter, you haven't seen a naked girl before?" Tayuya laughed. "Like you'd know what the fuck to do with one anyway."
Now Sasuke openly glared at the girl, "The hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Oh please you don't think I haven't heard all the stories while I've been out?" She said to him getting closer. "She pretty much said it, all those girls and you never picked out one? So what the almighty Uchiha clan dies with you huh? What a sad end, so you just can't get it up or you just fucking gay or something?"
"I have a responsibility to both avenge my clan and ensure that when I do plan to revive my clan I have to pick the right woman!" He shouted at her. This girl was infuriating at times, he just couldn't understand it. "She has to be strong and have the makings of a great ninja. I don't want some weak girl that can't do anything."
"Huh, sounds like that Temari girl again, looks like you missed out on that, the other girls I've seen in this village are a joke," Tayuya had seen females of their age and she was disgusted by them. Only the chunin level ones seemed to have grown out of whatever it was that made girls in this village so weak. "Too bad if you stay you'll have to pair up with some air head, I weep for any children from that union."
"Oh, and you think maybe Sound has anything to offer?" Sasuke asked her. "I remember that Kin girl she wasn't much, hell she was taken out by that Nara boy."
Tayuya hadn't known Kin at least not personally, but she had served Orochimaru to the fullest in the end. "You bastard, she died for our village and for Orochimaru." She gripped him by his shirt and the next thing she knew he pushed her back up against a wall.
He held her there with her arms pinned to her sides and her towel fell. Both froze at that moment as they locked eyes.
"Go ahead and peek you little fucker," She sneered at him. "I doubt it will be the only thing you can do to a woman."
"Don't you ever shut up," He told her and he wasn't sure why but he thought of a way to silence her. He surprised her by smashing his mouth to hers. At first she didn't do anything but she figured anything to seduce him would work so she went with it. She didn't mean to actually enjoy it, that was a surprise, it wasn't kind or soft or anything you'd find in some cheap romance novel. It was more animalistic all the heat in their argument seemed to transfer into it. He growled into her mouth and she returned it, feeling her body go on fire for a moment.
Then he suddenly pulled away, he took a breath and then smirked at her. "So that's how to keep you quiet."
She blushed as she pushed him off her and quickly went to get her clothing. "Fucker!" She yelled at him but she couldn't forget the heat on her lips.
Sasuke for his part sat down thinking on what he did he couldn't find her attractive did he? She was loud, had a dirty mouth, they fought and things were heated. But she didn't back down from him, she was strong and knew the kind of pain he did. As he sat there he was just too confused on what to think at the moment, but he knew things might get more complicated from now on.
