CHAPTER 2

POV Orochimaru.

I felt the memories of my shadow clone rushing towards me.

It seemed my hard work payed off. I did all my homework and even did additional work before coming here. Kabuto was a great spy. But I didn't relied on him entirely. I used my other spies as well. My spy network might not be extensive as Jiraya's as I always focus on my research. But it was enough for me to collect data. Currently there are three major setbacks in my current plan. One, Jiraya is back in the leaf. Two the true power of the nine tails brat is unknown. And him being Sasuke's teammate, can hinder one of my objective. And finally. The third setback. Tenten Hugarashi. As a seal master, she herself pose a major threat towards my plans. Add that to that ridiculous jutsu similar to the flying thunder God, she was a major threat. And the possibility of sealing away the curse seal also remained. But thankfully with the information he found, it will be possible for him to atleast refrain her from interfering. Sarutobi sensei has done a great job shielding her from Danzo. She didn't have any noteworthy appearance. So only Suna, and Iwa has her in their bingo book from her performance in the Chunin exams. But she is not in invincible.

The girl has a weakness. The Uzumaki brat. A Jinjuriki and a civilian genius. Oh ! Sounds very familiar. They were friends at first. But later the relationship developed into an intemate one.

Sigh. What a waste. But for me it's a chance. According to Kabuto, she is the security incharge of the second round of the chunin exams. It was some kind of chakra identifying barrier that she has developed. So he used a shadow clone for a decoy while applying the chakra suppression seal on himself to avoid detection. It was a perfect plan. I never expected the batch to replaced by a shadow clone of Sarutobi sensei. As my shadow clone dodged his shadow kunai jutsu, all the shadow kunais got replaced by Anbu members and Sensei himself. He was real this time. I can feel all of his chakra. The Tenten girl was their as well. They surrounded my clone.

"Orochimaru !" Sensei's voice boomed.

"What are you doing here ?"

"Hissss ! You wound me sensei. Can't I even visit my old sensei ?"

"Stop your games !"

"No sensei, you ssssseeee .... It is not a game. After my defection, I came across a very powerful individual. That person was the wielder of the legendary dojutsu, rinnegan !"

He eyed me critically. But my clone continued.

"He defeated me. So I survived by joining his group. It'ssss called Akatsuki. A group of ssss rank missing nins."

The clone saw him signalling his Anbu to not attack.

"There objective wassss to collect all the tailed beassstsss from the Jinjurikis and create a weapon of massss destruction. It was not my goal. But I wasn't against it."

"You are here for...."

"No, you ssssseeee, I left Akatsuki. Itachi kun joined the organisation. And I was fascinated by his eyesss. But that fascination costed me. I saw the true power of Sharingan !"

"You are here for Sasuke kun."

"Very perceptive, sensei."

"But your luck ran out. Surrender ! Orochimaru !"

"Kukukukukuk ! Thank you for keeping my company sensei, but before I leave, Tenten chan... I have given Naruto kun a very poisonous gift. If you want the antidote, then don't interfere. I promise I will save him once my objective is over. Now, I will take my leave ."

It's a shame I couldn't see his face after my clone vanished. But I have already given Sasuke my curse mark. First I used a very powerful poison and a sneak attack to take out Uzumaki kun. Then I tested Sasuke kun. He has talent. But no where near the level of Itachi kun. After tasting the water, I planted my curse seal of heaven and corruption seal on Sasuke kun. It will take some hours to take effect. But once it took root, it would be over. Even someone sealed it, Sasuke kun will still come to me. Kabuto will go as their savior. Now

...

I sighed in relief as the monitoring team announced the recovery of Naruto and Sasuke. Last five hours have been the worst in my life. All I could do is to trust Orochimaru ! All these power meant nothing at all !

"We won't interfere untill they come to the tower. It seems Orochimaru has planted a curse seal on Sasuke. We don't know that the antidote that traitor gave Naruto kun is safe So only after their ensured safety you will move" As the Hokage ordered, I clenched my fist.

It took them three days to reach the tower with required scrolls. As soon as they reach, the Hokage allowed me to go to them. Kakashi came with me as well. After the complete medical check up on both of them, I went to check the seal.

"It's a curse seal along with a corruption seal anchored to it."

"What ?" The hokage asked.

"Corruption seal, this one here is rooted to the curse seal. It manipulates yin chakra and feeds negetive emotions to the user and uses the same emotions as a trigger to activate the curse seal. Even with evil sealing method, it can't be sealed completely. The curse seal will be sealed. But the corruption seal will eventually weaken it's effects. I can temporarily seal it for now. But an extensive case study will be better."

"How much time it will take ?" Kakashi asked.

"Case study will take time. I will have to watch the effects under different conditions. So I will do that after the Chunin exams."

"Very well. For now seal away the curse seal." With Hokage's order, I started the process.

I used Hexagonal interlocking evil seal. It took me three hours to finish the process. After the process, I was exhausted. Kakashi carried away an unconcious Sasuke. And Hokage allowed me to go to Naruto.
