CHAPTER 23: Hideout.

Nenma, Jiraiya, and Sasuke then arrived at a cave. Nenma looked at Sasuke slightly confused. "What're we doing here..?" Nenma asked. Sasuke and Jiraiya began walking down the cave. They then stopped looking at the wall of the cave. Jiraiya put his hand on the on the cave wall, and a white door appeared. Jiraiya opened the door walking in, Sasuke walked in, looking back at Nenma. "You might feel a little light headed when you first enter." Sasuke said. Nenma looked confused as he walked in. The door closed behind him, Nenma's eyes widened as he fell to his knee's. Nenma cleared his throat standing up. "What the hell?" Nenma said. Sasuke chuckled, "The room depletes your chakra as the door closes." Sasuke said. Nenma looked at him confused, "Why do we need to do that..?" Nenma asked. Sasuke sighed, "They can sense chakra signatures, therefore we need to hide them." Sasuke said. Nenma nodded, scratching the back of his head. "That's weird but it makes sense…" Nenma said. The base looked like the living quarters in a fire station. There was a kitchen area, a room with multiple bunk beds, a laboratory, A farm, and a gym/training area. Nenma walked into the training room, stretching his arms. "So this is your base..?" Nenma asked. Sasuke nodded, "Basically, yes." Sasuke said. Nenma nodded, taking his Katana's out, along with the whetstone. Nenma began to sharpen his blades with the whetstone. Nenma looked over at Sasuke. "Is Suigetsu here?" Nenma asked. Sasuke looked down at the ground, "He… Didn't make it…" Sasuke said. Nenma nodded, "Just wondering… He gave me this whetstone, so I just wanted to ask…" Said Nenma. Sasuke nodded, walking out of the room. Jiraiya walked in the room with his arms folded. "So… You told me your father didn't know you were dead..?" Jiraiya asked. Nenma nodded with an annoyed look on his face, "Yup… That's what I said…" Nenma asked. Jiraiya nodded, "And he's Naruto's son… Correct..?" Jiraiya asked. Nenma grinded his teeth, putting the whetstone and katana down. He walked over to Jiraiya, grabbing the collar of his cloak. "If you want to know about my life, maybe you shouldn't have gotten stabbed in the back a trillion times!! Maybe my Grandpa would be around!! Maybe my family would love me!! MAYBE I WOULDNT BE SUCH A FUCK UP!!!!" Nenma shouted. Nenma was breathing heavily, glaring at Jiraiya. "You wanna know why I didn't care when I killed that Otsutsuki even though it looked like my grandmother..?" Nenma asked. It was quiet, "Because I don't care… They've never cared for me so why should I care!?" Nenma asked. Jiraiya looked at Nenma hesitantly. "Why should I care!!??" Nenma shouted. Jiraiya stood there, speechless. He grabbed Nenma's wrist, removing it from his cloak. He turned walking out of the training room. Nenma clenched his fist with his bangs shadowing over his eyes. He sat back down, returning to sharpening his blades. A few hours later, Nenma would be laying in bed, looking at the ceiling. He closed his eyes, remembering Uzura's smirk. The way it manipulated him for half of his life. How he did her bidding, without knowing the truth. He remembered how his sister looked at him when he saw her.

"You don't have control."

"You're a freak."

"Outsider."

"Traitor."

"Murderer."

Nenma opened his eyes, looking at his hand. He thought about all the innocent people he had killed for Uzura. For the Otsutsuki. For Kiyomi. For his so-called "family." For Power. Now that he will kill for one thing… Revenge. The next morning, Sasuke woke up seeing Nenma's bed empty. Sasuke looked confused, walking out of the bedroom and into the training room. Nenma would be doing push ups. "1012… 1013… 1014…" Nenma counted. Sasuke knocked on the wall, "Morning…" Sasuke said. Nenma looked up at Sasuke, nodding. Nenma stood up, grabbing his white t-shirt, putting it on. He walked out of the training room, into the kitchen. He opened the fridge seeing a couple bars and food pills. Nenma grabbed two food pills, chucking them in his mouth. "No chef's around here..?" Nenma asked. Sasuke shook his head, "They're all dead…" Sasuke said. Nenma nodded, walking up to a heavy bag. He punched the heavy bag, piercing a hole through it. Nenma looked over at Sasuke, swallowing the food pills. "Lets go kill these Otsutsuki bastards…" Nenma said. Sasuke smirked, nodding. Nenma put on his jacket, putting his swords on his belt. He walked out of the training room, into the laboratory. Jiraiya stood there, with his arms folded. "So, do we know where they're located?" Sasuke asked. Jiraiya nodded, as a robot flew over to them. "They are located at Mountains' Graveyard, located in The Land of Lightning." Said a robot with a familiar voice. "Is that… Orochimaru!?" Nenma asked in confusion.
