10 Freeing the Waves

Orochimaru's ninjas rushed at the mercenaries, while Orochimaru himself lunged at Gato.The midget had no time to react that he already had Kusanagi stabbed in his heart.

"N-No... M-Money, i can give you money"Said Gato, Orochimaru merely smirked as he watched Gato trying to get the blade out of his body.It took a minute for him to let go and die, Orochimaru saw that his ninjas were already about to finish, but he wanted to kill the rest himself.

He motioned to them to stop and walked calmly towards the Mercenaries.

"Kukuku~It might be even more exciting than i thought!"

In a single burst of speed he appeared in front of a mercenaries, and beheaded him.As the others hesitated he jumped and threw multiple Kunai at them, he landed and put an explosive tag on one of them.He kicked him while the explosion killed many of them, Orochimaru dodged an incoming Shuriken and took a scroll.He used seals on all of them, but nothing happened.As they were about to laugh, they fell to the grounds, their whole bodies paralyzed.

"So, so pathetic.I think i know why you became simple mercenaries and not Ninja.You don't have the level!"

Orochimaru beheaded them and sealed them inside a scroll.

[Is host planning on having a collection of heads?]

'Yup, might be useful to scare people, and it will slowly turn me into a monster.I know i can't change so easily, however having some severed heads in front of me everytime i wake up will certainly change me, especially since those will be the heads of my ennemies.'

[Well you can do whatever you want, as long as you get more powerful.By the way you should get some corpses for the Edo Tensei, it will be easier if you could take the corpses of legendary ninja like-]

'Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Shisui and...Ultimately Uchiha Madara'

[It would prove to be a difficult task, i think that it's either Zetsu or Obito who are keeping his body]

'As you said, i just need to get stronger....So strong no one would be able to oppose me!'Thought Retsu as his mind kept getting more corrupted, it could be said that the corpses of his ennemies did help in making his thoughts darker.

"Very well everyone, you'll finish the last of Gato's men and liberate the Land of Waves!I want to be in control of this land in a week!"Said Orochimaru.It was rather easy to take control of the Land of Waves, after all they couldn't defend themselves.

Orochimaru went to Gato's base and stole everything he could inside, until he saw something.......Funny?

'Slaves?'Thought Retsu while he eyed the multiple women who were locked in a cell.The will to live had already left their eyes, as they looked like mere puppets.They didn't even moved when he entered the cell.They were covered in bruises and were literally living on their own bloods, as even the walls were painted red.

'What to do?'

[Take them with you, i mean they could be useful.Plus they're already broken]

'But what for?They're only slaves, and they're too old to be trained.I'm not going to take them only for my sexual desires.'

[Not for that!To do chores!It's easier if those girls become servants and work at the laboratory, they can carry out the simplest tasks.]

Orochimaru pondered for a little and nodded.

"Women you'll come with me, your old master is dead, i think you all know what it means.Starting from now on, you work for me.Don't event think about going back to your families, because you'll stay to serve until the day of your deaths."Said Orochimaru in a commanding tone, the women looked at him and analyzed him, searching for any hidden lust in his eyes.After they found nothing one of the women crawled to him.

"C-Can you a-atleast save o-our country?"Said the brunette, she watched him carefully as she bowed.

"Interesting......Why not?It might be a good idea to help from time to time."Said Orochimaru, noticing the hope returning in the women's eyes.

"T-THANK YOU M-MASTER!"

They all bowed and waited for him to say something.

'Is it me or did they accepted too easily?'

[They're broken, used to being nothing more than slaves.It's already a blessing to be able to request such thing to you.It seems that they're pretty selfless.]

Orochimaru continued to look at the woman when he spotted a familiar face.

'Isn't that Tsunami, the daughter of the bridge builder Tazuna?She looks exactly the same as in the manga!'

"You, come"Ordered Orochimaru, Tsunami nodded fearfully and approached him.

"You're the daughter of the bridge builder?"

Her eyes widened but she quickly nodded.

"Good, i'll allow you to go back to him.In exchange you'll tell him to sign a contract with me, a contract that will make me the Daimyio of the Land of Waves."Said Tsunami.

"B-But-"

"*Glare*But what, woman?You're pushing your luck a little bit too much!"Said Orochimaru, his eyes glancing at her like she was nothing more than a prey to his eyes.She gulped and nodded, before running away and exiting the building.

He turned to the others and cleared his throat.

"You'll all go to the forest in the north of the Bridge, there you'll find my Ninja who are going to escort you to my base.My ninja have orders to kill you if you do anything funny, so.... Be on your best behaviour"Said Orochimaru with a smile, that screamed 'DANGEROUS!'.

After they departed, he summoned a little white snake and whispered to it.

"You'll tell this to Kabuto: Those women will work as servants at the laboratory.If any of them try to escape or refuse to work, kill them......If any of my men abuse them, kill those men and replace them."Said Orochimaru, the snake hissed and went to Kabuto.

"I hope that this Kodaka woman will show up.*Sigh*Atleast now, it's time to take my first step towards World Domination!"
