Ressurecting the Evils of the Past

[Ryuu]

Orochimaru stepped quietly into the forest near the rice feilds. The air was still, quiet; just as he remembered it.

The day before Ryuu had spent trying to lead him in the other direction, however he had fought so as to not loose too much ground. He hated sharing a body with one such as Ryuu, so kind and peaceful. His face twisted into a terrible grimace at the thought of it.

Long ago he had murdered Ryuu's wife, for she had discovered his jutsu. For a moment, he wondered if he had been to hasty to hide the knowledge. Of course, he would not allow anyone else to know how to use the Immortality Jutsu, but perhaps he should have used he to learn it for himself before killing her...no, it would have been to risky. She would have had too much time to tell others about it.

Ryuu's heart sank in his mind, and Oro's facade softened. He was so absorbed his thoughts that one might have though he was unobservant, yet he was not without his wits.

While he had been away the day before, he noticed that Senshi had been training. Harder than he ever had before Oro guessed. He mused at Senshi's dedication, it seemed Ryuu too was impressed, however completley against the situation.

Now would begin the search for his old home. Due to his loss of memory, it could be days before they stumbled upon it's ruins. And speaking of the day, the sun begain to rise. oro decided it was time to leave again, however Ryuu suddenly gripped his body with all his strength, forcing him immoble.

Orochimaru grabbed his head as Ryuu fought for control, with Senshi right behind him. "Not yet!" Growled Orochimaru, "Are you stupid?!"

"I will not let you mislead this boy!" said Ryuu, his cool voice, filled with distaste, "I will teach him at least, I'll help him, but I won't let you..." Orochimaru cut him off by calling out as he fought to move again, he took a step.
"He doesn't need to die for the power he needs and you know that,"

Finally the sun rose and Orochimaru could only mutter a string of curses before he was sucked into Ryuus mind.

Ryuu fell to his knees, clutching his book, breathless. However it was only amoment before he regained his composure and turned back to Senshi with a smile,
"I'm terribly sorry about all that." he said, standing up, "He didn't want you to know, but I'm sure you figured out that we're the same person." He bowed politely in apology. "Now about teaching you, what would you like to learn first?"

Ryuu, felt a certain need to help Senshi get his revenge, after what had happened to him, recent events included. That girl, Kitsu, that sweet, poisonous girl had cursed him. And if he guess right, this curse would return again in another three weeks, under the new moon. That was one advantage to Oro's plan, Senshi would die, and that would void the curse, however that was not an option Ryuu wanted to consider, but he would help, however he could for now.

[Senshi Uzeki]

Senshi was baffled to what just happened. Orochimaru suddened shouted to someone as his aura turned peaceful. Now he asked what he wanted to teach him, as Senshi guessed, this guy had two personalities. He figured this was Ryuu, the one he met first in the Land of Lightning.

Senshi bowed back as Ryuu did, "Whatever you think is right, you are master and sensei." Senshi replied as he stood up straight.

[Ryuu]

Ryuu laughed modestly, "Very well Senshi-san, we shall begin with this one," he closed his eyes and spun, then with his back to Senshi, sent snakes flying from his sleeves, and then called them back. He turned back to Senshi with a peaceful smile, "Hows that?" He chuckled and began to teach him.

That night, Orochimaru took over once again. He was sitting silently by the light of the fire, frowning, staring off at nothing. He wasn't angry, and yet he was; with Ryuu. He felt they were close, a feeling deep within his memories seemed to sense it. They were
close, so close he could taste it. The Immortality Jutsu. It would be his again, if only he could just...

"Put out the fire," he said suddenly, "This way." and he disappeared into the forest. Then, almost as if he had known it's position all along, he came upon the ruins of his old hideout. He couldn't help but let a crooked smirk slide across his face and he approached the ruins. He would have to clear away the debris, to make a path into the lower chambers where he kept his secrets. So close, he jutsu was so close, it would be his again.


[OOC: Sorry if I went too fast there, but I kinda wanted to hurry and get to the ruins, but if you want I can go back and change it. And I guess I'll let you decide if Senshi still needs more training on the move Ryuu showed him or if he already mastered it.]

[Senshi Uzeki]

Ryuu showed Senshi his Sen'eijashu and Senshi immidiatly started training. Senshi trained his hardest to learn the move, he tried it at first no luck. So he tried again and again for the entire day until finally he got one snake to come out of his gauntlet. Sucess! But Senshi wanted better so he tried some more. As night came he managed to get three snakes to come out, that's when Orochimaru came back and decided for them to leave.

They traveled to the ruins of Orochimaru's old hideout, Senshi looked at the ruins and saw it to be anicent looking, but that made sense because it was probably over 100 years old! Senshi wonder why they were there, he was curious but he didn't ask any question as he did what Lord Orochimaru told.

[Ryuu]

Orochimaru was about to begin removing the debris when suddenly a feeling of urgency washed over him. That girl... he thought of the girl who had cursed Senshi, how he could have used her...perhaps he would if he were to meet her again. Perhaps this feeling and sudden memory of her was a warning. He decided to take it seriously.

"Move the rubble. We must get to the inner chambers quickly." Yes, they would need to move quickly if he was to obtain and destroy his most precious jutsu before someone found him. Perhaps that girl...no she was far too admiring for betrayal, her friend must have spoken of his presence already, he cursed Ryuu's carelessness. Ah Ryuu...if they did come for him, then Ryuu would be the perfect cover, perhaps his presence was not as much of a hinderance as it could have been.

He began moving the rubble, using a jutsu here and there to make the progress faster until an entrance was found. With a satsisfied smirk he made his way inside, manuvering the route flawlessly into the deep underground rooms of his fortress.

There, his experements still were, covered in dust, forgotten, a hundred years past. His eyes widened at the several papers conating his lifes work. He began flipping through them, going from desk to desk. Searching among the bottled creatures and dusty books, until he found it.

Pulling the scroll from a dusty book case he opened it and spread it out on a desk, eyeing Senshi with a crooked smirk as he stared at his chambers. His gaze fell to the scroll and he began memorizing. Hours passed and he had it; he then opened his mouth, his toungue sliding around the scoll and pulling it down into his belly, to never again be discovered. He then sat back against the desk contentedly and looked at Senshi, yet again smirking with satisfaction and contemplating the events to come.

[Senshi Uzeki]

When Lord Orochimaru ordered for the rubble to be cleared, Senshi obeyed as he walked to the rubble blocked entrance and begun moving small rubble with his inhuman strength as he toss them aside like yesterday trash. When he got to the bigger pieces, Senshi reeled back his right fist and then slammed it into the rock as it was shattered into many pieces, then Senshi started to smash rubble after rubble, as he kicked and punched the rubble to pebbles!

After the rubble was cleared, Orochimaru walked into the now cleared entrance and Senshi followed suit. Inside, the entire room was covered in dust as it was on everything inside. Desks, bottles, papers, everything was covered. Orochimaru then started to rummage through the many things as he was looking for something. Senshi with some free time, looked at the many things that was in the room, bottles with creatures, papers with faded text, spider webs everywhere. Finally it seemed that Orochimaru found what he wanted, a scroll.

Orochimaru set the scroll on his desk and opened it, and with a quick smile towards Senshi he begun reading. Senshi not wanting to disturb his master, went to the entrance and leaned against it with his arms crossed. A couple of hours passed as Orochimaru continued reading the scroll and Senshi did not budge a bit, but then he remembered that his armor should be done by then, so he performed the handsigns for Summoning Jutsu and then slammed his palm on the ground and after the smoke disappeared, Onisame was there, with his new armor.

"Took you long enough." Onisame grumbled as he handed Senshi his new armor. "I spent alot of time on this, DON'T MESS IT UP." Onisame said sternly as he left Senshi with his armor. Senshi noticed that he also had a cape along with the armor, not what he wanted but he didn't care. The helmet was strange looking, it had two antler like things sticking out of the side of the helmet straight out. His gauntlets seemed improved and Onisame also made another torso armor. After examining his armor, Senshi began to equip them, he took off his old armor and put on his new one. Then he attached the cape to his armor and finally he put on his gauntlets. He didn't attach his helmet yet.

When Senshi was done, Orochimaru also was finished and he was smirking at Senshi.

[Ryuu]

They would come. He was sure of it, the hour had reached midnight and Orochimaru was in full control, Ryuu would have no control over his actions. It was now, or risk another day without.

"Senshi-kun," he said, darkly, his voice sly, "come closer," he would have asked and tried to reassure Senshi's readiness, but that was already known. Not to mention Orochimaru didn't care; he had agreed to using the man's strength long before. It was true, he could have flown violently across the room and enacted the seal like that, however decided that such effort was not needed, either way, it was time. As Senshi approached, "I'm going to give you a gift Senshi-kun," He took a few steps to meet the other man halfway, and without giving Senshi time to protest, he sank his fangs into his neck. Within moments a fire felt like it was coursing through Senshi's veins, Ten no juin!. Orochimaru, released his grip on Senshi as the cursed seal of heaven shown darkly on Senshi's skin, "You will thank me for this." and then he held one hand before him and bowed his head, and with the use of the body flicker technique, was gone.

Why did he abandon Senshi? He knew the other shinobi would come for him, and there was no way Orochimaru would stick around to get caught before he was prepared. Besides, Senshi would find him again when he was ready, and Orochimaru would complete the process. He was now content to let Ryuu have his life back, at least for a short while. Besides, he now needed to find that girl, and there was no time like the present.

[OOC: hope that was okay]

[Senshi Uzeki]

As Senshi moved closer as he was told, then suddenly Orochimaru's neck extended toward Senshi and bit him on the neck! Instantaniously it felt like Senshi's body was on fire, he dropped his helmet and grabbed behind his neck on the left, where unknown to him, three lightning bolts spiralled into a center. "ARRRRAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Senshi screamed as he struggled not to fall on his knees, and as soon as he looked up to Orochimaru, he vanished.

Senshi stuck out his hand where Orochimaru used to be and clenched his hand as he slowly fell to one knee, still screaming as his vision became blur. The pain felt like burning, burning like he was in an inferno, if Senshi didn't know better it felt like the entire base start to burn (Of course it didn't) and he was the center of it. Pain. Weakness. These two feelings mixed is what Senshi hates most, the weakness to stop the pain and the pain itself. But if this was suppose to make him stronger, then he'll glady sustain it to kill the experimenter of his childhood. But the pain was too great to sustain as he slowly lost his vision and fell to the floor face first.

[Should I play as an ANBU unit, or should the Raikage play as the ANBU? Because I'm going to need a test run once I awake from the dream that I'm going to get]

[Ryuu]

[OOC: I f I had to choose I'd say someone else should play the ANBU, but it's really up to you.]

[Senshi Uzeki]

[Okay for everyone knows, Me, Kotetsu, and Katsumi, will play as an ANBU squad. I will also be playing as Senshi as well]

Three ANBUs jumped from the trees as they searched for their missing comrade that was supposivly seen with Orochimaru, the Leader wearing a wolf mask jumped down as he inspected foot prints in the dirt.

It was fresh, maybe made about an hour or so, he swipe few of the dirt into his index and thumb as he rubbed it until it floated away into dust. Wolf turned his head to his two team members and looked at them through his mask. "This fresh, about two people travelled through here. Hardly anyone comes around these anymore, do you think it's them?" Wolf asked his compainions.

[Katsumi]

Nana Yasiko, her face hidden behind a plain white and red facemask engraved with the symbol of Kumogakure, landed beside her squad leader with a muffled thud. 'Pride', as she was dubbed, was an expert tracker, and quickly began analyzing the prints. She crouched low to the ground and examined the trial markings carefully, before looking up to Wolf and making eye contact through the thin slits in their masks.

"I'd say so. Whoever made these tracks was definitely a ninja, although by the looks of it, a rather clumsy one." She announced, pointing out the way that the footprints sunk in deeper at the front end, suggesting that the persons' weight was on the ball of their foot - second nature for all first-class ninja. She traced the path and made a mental note of the direction it was facing.
"Look at this-" She muttered, pointing to a second set of footprints several meters away, heading in the same direction as the first. "-Whoever made these seemed to be moving at a faster pace than the other, with some intent. I'd say these are no more than a few hours old - three at the most." Hidden beneath her mask, her young face turned adamantly serious. "They must still be nearby. Be on guard."

From her crouching position she launched herself skyward and landed on a thin tree bough some thirty foot above the ground, scouting the landscape for any leads or possible threats. Satisfied, she turned back and nodded to Wolf to continue.

[Senshi Uzeki]

"I see, then let us pursue with caution." Wolf said as he got serious, "Uzeki is not to be taken lightly, and if he's joined Orochimaru, who knows how dangerous he's gotten then." Wolf said as he his face grimmed behind his mask. Wolf heard about the incident about Senshi Uzeki putting a Gennin three years his senior in intensive care.

"Be careful you two, we are to begin Uzeki in ALIVE for questioning. This isn't going to be easy, Uzeki is dangerous and stubborn. So bringing him in won't be easy without killing him." Wolf said, "Let go. We cannot lose him!" Wolf said as he took off into the trees.

[Kotetsu]

Kanraku stood back a bit as the two discussed the tracks. he was excited his mask, split in half, half of it happy looking, the other, reseambled a demon's, concealed his smile at the thought of the fighting to come. "we may not be able to kill him, but we can bring him within an inch of it, and back." he said confidently as he followed the others of his group, preparing himself mentally, and phisically for the fight.

[Senshi Uzeki]

Senshi awoke from his collapse from earlier with a pounding head. "Where am I? Senshi asked himself as he looked around, he was not in the room as before but now, he was standing in air as screens from his life as an experiment was everywhere! Many pictures where there, him strapped on a table, being cut into while his parents stood by. It pissed Senshi off and when he was looking at all of the pictures, he saw a three to five year old boy sitting on the ground with his knees to his head and his arms wrapped around his legs.

"I'm weak..." Muttered the boy "If I was only stronger...." he continued, "Then.....then.....then......" Mumbled the boy started to cry, "This wouldn't have happened to me." The boy said as he raised his head, revealing it to be Senshi!

Senshi was shocked to see his younger self sitting in front of him! "I-I'm....weak.....I was always weak.....I was weak to my parents....I was weak to stop them...." Young Senshi cried as Senshi took a step forward. "Shut up...." Senshi said softly. "I was weak to stop that man from cutting me open like a rat...." Young Senshi continued not listening to Senshi, "Shut up.." Senshi said more forceful. "I was too weak....too weak to stop everything....because.....because..." Young Senshi said before Senshi ran to him and grabbed him by the collar and hoisted him off the ground! "SHUT UP!!!!" Senshi shouted in rage as he looked at his Younger self's face, but there was no tears, there was no sadness, all there was...was a sadistic grin. "....Because you were weak." Young Senshi said with a different voice that sounded like Orochimaru's, "You weak to stop them, you were weak to even kill that man when you had the power to kill him, but you let him escape because you were weak!" Young Senshi shouted.

Senshi in shock dropped his younder self as the Younger Senshi landed on his feet and stood up straight with his hand on his face. "If you want the power, the power to kill him and to forever be freed of weakness, take my power." Young Senshi said as he peeled off his face to reveal Orochimaru! At that point Senshi began to lose feeling in his legs as his vision went black as he fell again into darkness.
