583: turn back the pendulum
kabuto: from the beginning i was no one...
*scene change*
kabuto: darn i shouldn't have been so late from tutoring. mother is going to be ma-...
the convent is flaming, and two men stride through the town. a white snake crawls up kabuto's leg. the first man is a cloaked masked hunchback
orochimaru: sasori-kun, you really do take a bold approach.
sasori: i do try to perfect my art.
orochimaru: you and your art...
sasori: are you saying its different from your goals?
orochimaru: perhaps a little. we both intend on enduring.
sasori: go on ahead, master orochimaru. konoha may send reinforcements.
orochimaru: very well sasori kun.
orochimaru turns into flames (like when they were at the hideout in sai arc). kabuto sniffs and sasori hears him.
sasori - a brat survivor..
kabuto hides again and notices a nun still alive, badly injured. uses medic ninjutsu to try and heal the nun.
sasori: the brat has some talent...
sasori extends his tail.
sasori: you wont have any choice in the matter boy, but how would you like to come work for me? you have skill in the area of medical ninjutsu. ill teach you how to fight, and properly use your skills, if you become a spy for me.
kabuto:...fight? mister i dunno...it was you who destroyed my family wasn't it...
kabuto growls and tries to punch the hiruko armour.
sasori: tsk..poor brat. this body doesnt feel pain. that is what it means to endure, to be eternal. men break and rot. men are corrupted by emotion. and they die young in this cursed shinobi world. you are no one now, but you could become great. you could be someone.
kabuto: ....
present time kabuto: i truthfully thought i was alone. but sasori-sama taught me many things about the true nature of the world. war and suffering are daily occurances. but for a time i thought i was alone in despair. alone in the thought i was the only one who had nothing, was no one.
*scene change*
years later. kabuto is leaving the academy when he notices another building.
kabuto *orochimaru sama, you told me this is a very important mission. i will not let you down.*
kabuto begins exploring and asking around.
guard: what do you want?
kabuto: i..well..ive never seen this place before.
guard: its a place where scum go to die. are you with the pink haired girl?
kabuto: ...no.
kabuto looks utterly confused. but he fake smiles.
kabuto: is she causing trouble? ill go get her.
guard: fine whatever.
kabuto steps into the gaol. sure enough, a tall pink haired woman stands next to a cell, arguing with a skinny white haired man with his forehead protector scratched out.
woman: i hope your proud of yourself. who defeated you?
mizuki: who wants to know...
woman: my sister, ayame haruno and her husband uzumaki ryu...were both anbu. when you stole the scroll, you killed them didn't you?
mizuki: thats what that idiot iruka said...
woman: i dont understand...ryu was a top class shinobi, brother to the late uzumaki kushina. so how could it be you beat them?
mizuki: poison. the nine tails must have made naruto immune to its effects.
woman: so naruto beat you then...damn that brat. it was sakura's job to avenge them, and now she can't.... thats all i wanted to know.
she steps out, and looks at kabuto.
kabuto: i saw her..and i immediately felt her pain, and the difference of experience compared to mine.
*scene change*
the woman, stands in an anbu uniform, talking to the 3rd hokage.
woman: hokage sama, sakura cannot know about this. no one can know. she must be protected.
hiruzen: very well, haruno-san. no one will know. if the village found out the harunos were related to the host of the nine tails, things could be ugly. they only do not attack naruto because of my commands. i will tell sakura she has to drop her father's name for now, and live in a foster home. i have no doubt this fine couple will become like real parents to her before long.
he shows her a picture.
haruno: very well.
hiruzen: do not worry. her foster parents are elites, assigned to protect her. and you are very powerful as well.
haruno: but my niece...she will hate the boy, not knowing he is her cousin...he won't understand. she already thinks he's annoying because of the crush on the uchiha boy, who used to be her childhood friend. till itachi came into the picture.. his mother was friends with kushina.
hiruzen: i understand. naruto has dealt with much pain already. when the time comes, sakura will accept him.
