Blood Clone of Dexter that was posing as the Kage POV; (Long POV statement^^)
And so it began. The Boss is already after Gaara and Sasuke. Orochimaru separated me from Sarutobi by a kick. He's already behind his barrier. The ANBU that were guarding him are left outside and were only watching. Idiots, all of them, except the Neko one. Yuugao-nee can't be an idiot, she is surely assessing the situation and hasn't yet come to the conclusion that it would be better to helping to fight off the invasion, rather than sitting here and doing nothing. Or simply destroying the roof under the sound four. Really, the ground they are standing upon isn't protected.
I walked over to the barrier but was stopped by an ANBU with a gorilla mask.
“Uzukage-sama, please don't touch this barrier, it will burn anything that comes into contact with it”, he said.
“I know or do you think Uzushiogakure wouldn't know about a puny seal such as this one?”, I asked right back with slight anger at this underling.
“I didn't mean to question the skills of yours Uzukage-sama”, he quickly said.
“Then step aside and let me do my thing”, I shot back and walked past him. He didn't stop me and had to watch how I casually touched the barrier with an activated Hungry Ghost path. The barrier dissolved around my hand and a hole large enough for me to go through formed itself.
I casually walked through the hole and had to suppress a snicker when I heard the shocked curses from Tayuya.
Orochimaru had already ripped his face off and was showing his teacher what he became after leaving the village. The pale face of the geezer was a nice sight.
“I'm hurt. Here I thought I would come to watch a fight of Genin against Genin and am now seeing a fight of Sensei against his student, only to be stopped from getting a good visiting place”, I said in a mocking tone and interrupted Sarutobi's pleading for Orochimaru to stop all this.
“How were you able to come inside the barrier?”, asked Orochimaru, who jumped back into a position from where he could face both me and Sarutobi.
“Are you kidding me? The [Four Purple Flaming Position] wouldn't stop any Uzumaki seal-master from gaining entrance”, I answered with a laugh and saw that he was visibly sweating.
“Please help me fight this evil man Uzukage-sama, we were once allies. I'd like to show that we still can be”, pleaded Sarutobi.
“Allies? As if Sensei. Let me tell you what Uzushiogakure's allies did to help your village during the second great Ninja war Uzukage-sama”, said Orochimaru hurriedly. He surely didn't think that I will be part of this fight and is now hoping to get me on his side.
This will be fun to watch.
“You mustn't listen to him! Orochimaru is a liar”, shouted Sarutobi.
“I a liar? Is it a lie that Ninja from Konoha were giving away the information of secret passages that led the fighting force into Uzushiogakure? Is it a lie that these forces even had help from Konoha's own Ninja? Is it a lie that you even allowed, no, ordered this attack?
Please tell me that this is a lie”, shot Orochimaru back in a calm tone.
“Don't listen to him!”, pleaded Sarutobi again, not refuting, nor affirming what Orochimaru has said.
“Help me Uzukage-sama and you will be able to gain the riches that will remain once Konoha is burned down. The riches that were once stolen from your own village”, tempted Orochimaru further.
I have to say, he one fine speaker.
“Don't you see that old Sarutobi hasn't claimed that I am wrong? He never said I was lying about the things I said. That is because they aren't mere things, they are facts!”, he further said and the sweat I saw was already gone by now.
“I can see that the things spoken here aren't for everyone's ears to hear, so please allow me to erect a silencing barrier”, I simply said and slowly formed the seals for the [Dimension of the Silent Whisper]. None of them stopped me and the noise of fighting that were coming from the village vanished once I activated the seal.
“Now that we are only us three, let me tell you a secret”, I then said and both got ready to fight.
“I am well aware of what Konoha had done during the second great Ninja war, I even heard the story from those who were part of this”.
“How could you? They are dead”, asked Orochimaru.
“Were dead, Orochimaru, you're one who is constantly searching for a way to get immortality. Don't you think that there is a way to revive the dead?”, I asked back with a smile and Sarutobi got paler than a sheet of paper.
“Of course there is, the [Impure Earth Resurrection] would be one way to revive the dead temporarily”, he affirmed.
“Yes, but that isn't the only way. You know of the Rinnegan”, I said and he looked stunned for a moment before he started to snicker and then laugh.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
“Yes, yes the Rinnegan is said to have the ability to revive the dead. Let me guess, you first used the [Impure Earth Resurrection] and then the power of the Rinnegan to fully revive the victims of the attack on Uzushiogakure?”. I gave him a small nod and he burst out into laughter.
“Brilliant, simply brilliant. That would also explain how you created the village this quickly. You already had a whole village, to begin with. But here is my question for you, where do you stand in this little invasion of mine? And what would I need to give you to have you on the side lines or even on my side?”, he further said and leveled a battle ready glare at me.
“On your side wouldn't be possible, I don't like you very much”, I said and he raised his hands, but I stopped him with an open hand of mine.
“Which doesn't mean that I wouldn't agree to stay out of this and watch, let's say for one of your minions?”.
“One of my minions? Who do you want to have?”, he asked with a raised eye.
“The girl with the red hair, she strongly resembles an Uzumaki and I want to see if I am right with my conclusion that she is a survivor of the massacre”, I said and pointed at Tayuya. The girl in question was still looking as if she was shouting curses at me and increased her rambling when she saw me pointing at her.
“Hehehe, I thought the same when I took her in, fine for me. You can have her, drop the silencing barrier and I will order her to go with you”, he said with a large creepy smile.
“You can't do that Uzukage-sama, I agree that the things done during the second great Ninja war weren't right, but that mustn't mean that every innocent civilian in Konoha has to die for what I have done. I will offer myself to your mercy if you help me in this fight and once it is over, and the village safe, I will do anything you wish”, said Sarutobi suddenly. He saw how things turned against him and is now trying for the good in me.
“Oh, I would have done what you ask of me Sarutobi if there wasn't one tiny little thing that I refuse to believe. And that is the innocence of your civilians. For you see, I wasn't always the Uzukage, once, a few years ago by now, I was a child of your village. A child that was being tortured for hosting something”.
Sarutobi took a step back in shock and Orochimaru looked gleeful at hearing these news.
“No, you can't be, Dexter is...”, he began but stopped mid sentence.
“Oh, I can. Don't you think it's possible for me to know your involvement in my childhood if I know your involvement in Uzushiogakure's doom? I read your diary, I know that it was your idea to have me abused. True, not as heavily as it did happen, but you were still ready to force a child into loneliness and abuse.
There is almost not one single Ninja or civilian in the whole of Konoha who hasn't either badmouthed or hurt me”, I shouted angrily.
“I never knew what happened to you in your first four years and I helped you once I knew. I helped you create Dexter Uzuki, allowed Yuugao to become your sister, even gave you one of our best Jonin-senseis”, he argued.
“True true, but you didn't stop the abuse from happening to the blood clone we made. Naruto got hunted almost once each week. I had to remake him twice at the beginning, just because he starved to death, the vendors wouldn't sell him any food”, I now almost screamed back. I may physically know that none of those happened to me, heck even to the Boss. But the memories the Boss gained were now mine and they didn't distinct between knowing and not knowing. They feel as if it happened.
“But...but Naruto died, none of his memories should have come to you”, he tried to say, only for Orochimaru to laugh again.
“Oh, this is the best. Now it makes sense why you attacked me during the Chunin exam. I somehow dispelled your blood clone. The memories weren't erased, they came right back at you”, he said between his laughs.
“That is mostly true Orochimaru. Only that you didn't fight me, but the Kyuubi, you see Sarutobi. The one who is the reason for my abuse isn't at fault for the attack, to begin with. It's your fault.
You forced Kushina to come to Konoha and destroyed Uzushiogakure after gaining her as a possible breeding mare. I know that you thought of using her as a baby factory for new Uzumaki, the same as you thought of me.
Kushina would have been in Uzushiogakure during her birth, this would have saved her and in return would have saved the village from an attack that wasn't even started by the Kyuubi.
The thing is, the Kyuubi was forced to do what it has done and the mastermind was the masked man you also know of. He controlled the fox and forced it to attack”, I explained and even Orochimaru looked surprised with these news.
“The fox isn't at fault? It's even helping you?”, asked a now extremely old looking Sarutobi.
“Yes it is”, I simply said and scolded myself for naming Kura-chan it. But I couldn't say that she is my lover.
“This gets better and better”, was Orochimaru's only comment. He was now almost fully relaxed towards me and looked mostly at Sarutobi my now.
Sarutobi, who was now even crying, was stuttering apologies to me.
“You can spare yourself your apologies. I don't need them, Konoha will pay for what it has done and you will have to die for it”, I said with hate and he stopped his apologies.
“Your parents would be sad to hear that from you”, he then said.
“As if, my mother is in full agreement with me and my father could see my reason but didn't want to help”, I scoffed.
“You...mean they spoke with you?”, he asked in disbelieve.
“What of being able to resurrect did you not get? I revived my mother fully and asked my father about his opinion through the [Impure Earth Resurrection]. The first wanted to help and the second wanted to stay out of this. Both were disgusted with Konoha and you”, I confirmed and Sarutobi almost fell down from this.
“That would mean I can't use him, well nothing gained, nothing failed”, chimed Orochimaru in.
“So this is it, old man, I'll gladly watch how your previous student kills you, while you are forced to accept that the second grandson who you believed to have is going to bring your loved village down”, I said with an evil laugh.
The face of Sarutobi got even more pained, before settling in a determined expression.
“Then I'm forced to fight you both”, he then said and summoned the ape that turned into a pole.
I dropped the silencing seal and the noise came back. Tayuya was still ranting.
“Tayuya!”, snapped Orochimaru and she shut up instantly.
“You will go with this man after the fight, he will be your new master from now on”, he then ordered and she glared at me, before accepting the order in a silent whisper.
“Thanks for your none involvement in this part Uzukage-sama”, Orochimaru then said and used the hand signs to summon the coffins of the first and second Hokage.
Sarutobi was already on the move and spit fire bullets at me and Orochimaru. I just jumped to the barrier and began to watch, while Orochimaru used his snake-like body to evade the attack.
The now resurrected Hokage got their orders implanted and began to attack Sarutobi.
The fight was mostly canon. A big stone wall was built as a defense against Tobirama's water attack. The raised wall was then used for a tree based attack from Hashirama. His attack was also evaded by the use of fire and evasive movements. Orochimaru was in between with his Kusanagi sword and the old man was even forced to diverse his attention to me whenever I repositioned myself for a better view.
It was clear that Orochimaru wasn't as skilled as Kabuto with the Jutsu, as neither Hokage showed his true strength, but it was enough to get Sarutobi using the Death Reaper seal. He also managed to seal the first and second Hokage, before he was stopped from sealing Orochimaru.
Again, he had the hands of Orochimaru already pulled out.
“This looks like you are in trouble Orochimaru, do you need some help?”, I asked and Orochimaru looked at me with a pained expression.
“What do you want?”, he asked between pained breaths.
“Please not Dexter-kun”, pleaded Sarutobi, who needed all his strength for sealing Orochimaru.
“Hmm, I want Guren and the little boy she's so fond of, I think his name was Yukimaru?”, I stated and he managed to look surprised with what I knew of his minions.
“I will give both of them to you, if you help me”, he quickly agreed and I hit the arm of Sarutobi's ape summon downwards, which forced the grabbed sword also down. The sword cut all the way through Sarutobi and his organs began to fall out of the now almost halved body.
He was instantly dead and the Jutsu stopped.
“Huff, thanks, Uzukage-sama, I'm glad to have you on my side”, he then said between more deep breaths.
“Don't forget our agreement. They will wait on the bridge that was built in Wave in ten days. I'll take Tayuya with me now”, I said and grabbed him by the throat and activated the Human path.
His eyes widen in shock.
“This is a way stronger technique that the [Reaper Death Seal] and is what will await you if you don't deliver”, I then said and let him go.
He didn't reply and stood up as if nothing happened. Both of us walked to the barrier, where the sound four were waiting for further orders.
“As agreed beforehand, Tayuya you are to go with the Uzukage and will serve him as you served me”, Orochimaru then ordered Tayuya again who nodded with a glare.
“We will depart, I'm sorry Uzukage-sama, but your department wasn't planned, so you two will have to get out on your own”, he continued with a grin and reversed summoned himself and the remaining sound four.
The barrier vanished and Tayuya could only get out a fuck, before I used the Hiraishin to get both of us out of Konoha.
By now the Boss should have finished his fight against Shukaku and the other shadow clones already dispelled after finishing their mission. Konoha won't be the same after today. Of that I'm sure.
