demon or very angry
Sasuke runs as fast as he can after he gets over the gate. The curse mark begins to burn and hears a voice calling to him to turn back. He ignores it and keeps running. Back to the clan that gave him for research. Itachi his brother was always the family favorite and that's why when it boiled down to it the family he called his loved ones. Told Orochimaru to improve his powers to match Itachi, however Orochimaru had no intention on bringing him back. *I… oh gods this hurt… I need to get my clan and let them know that… Ahhhhhhhgggggggghhhhhh! That Orochimaru is liar… he was going too… to steal the clan's ability.* Sasuke thought as pain surge after pain surge affected his body. He could hear several ninja dogs behind him; he panicked and began forming hand seals that his father taught. (Fire style: Great dragon Bomb)! He shouted, a torrent of flame formed into a ball and shot out from his mouth. It then separated and formed smaller ones as it arched above the location of where he thought the ninja were. He could hear screams as flames exploded, the cursed mark on his body began to further and further. One of his eyes started to glow a golden hue. He began to laugh… he felt another power surge through his body. Then he heard someone yell. He turned and jumped into the trees. He began to run through the limbs, but being untrained he trips over a branch and falls crashing into the ground. A ninja tries to jump on him; he sent his fist right into his gut. It had enough force to penetrate right through causing blood to fly. Sasuke began to see hundreds of birds flutter around him, he kneeled and screamed. "What is… this" his voice turning slightly demonic, he began to convulse. As the power kept pouring into him.
- At Naruto's room-
Naruto still asleep suddenly jolts up as he feels something like a cold wind. However, the door is closed and he seems to feel something… vile. "What the…" he mutters trying to figure out what are going on, he over hears that "Subject 95, has escaped…" *what are they talking about… subject 95? What in the world is a "Subject?" is it an animal.* he thought as he pondered what they said; he got up and grabbed some night cloths that Orochimaru left him. He begins to head out the door when Karin is racing down the hall way. "What the?" he said wide eyed, barely dodging the girl. *I should follow her, maybe I can figure this out?* he thought to himself, he turns and follows behind. Running with her, she turns to him and smiles. "You're up very early; I'm supposed to be guarding you but… I can use some help" Karin said with a sneer forming on her face. Naruto nods and he heads with her. Suddenly several ninja stop them with their hands held out in front. "Halt! All Shinobi staff that have guard duty are to stay in place. We his lord's elite will handle this. "What's going on?" Naruto asked, frustration creeping in his voice. "We are not delegated to answer your question civilian. Please return to your immediate room or rooms. Now!" the guard said sternly, Karin looked back at Naruto he was not budging. The guard suddenly crashes his knee against the boy's stomach. Naruto grunts in pain from the blow and begins to cough up spit. "Karin Uzumaki, take him to his room immediately!" the guard yelled at the girl who was supposed to guard Naruto. She grabbed him and tried to pick him up. "What ever ya eating kid, please lay of it" Karin said in a grunt as she managed to get him over her shoulder. Naruto grunts in frustration and realizes something as they near his door. "Put me down!" he yelled at Karin, "Fine" she retorted playful, letting go of him so that he hit the ground hard.
"Oops did I hurt you" she said sticking her tongue out, she began to walk out the door. "Wait! Why did they call you a Uzumaki?" Naruto demanded causing Karin to turn around. "Because it's my clans name twerp, why is it so important to you!" she yelled back in a mild frustrating tone. Naruto eyes opened wide… *A clan… but… that means… I have family… no… she is laying the leaf told me that everyone was dead* Naruto thought as he stared into her eyes, "Well… what is it?" Karin asked… Naruto had a tear drop out his eye. "My name… is… is Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto said silently, Karin eyes flew open; she did believe what she heard. "What… but… I thought my kinsmen were destroyed." Karin said in disbelief. Naruto had a bit of a smile form on his face. "Am I… you're brother?" he said with laughter forming, he gets cracked upside his head. Karin retorts his laughter with an angry look. "There is no way in hell you're an Uzumaki brat!" she yelled at him, and punched him into the room. She slammed the door. Naruto was in there… crying again. Remembering what all the other kids said about hm.
-Flash back-
"Hey there… look it's the demon" a villager said as a baby Naruto is carried by the thirds daughter. "I think we should kill it" whispered another, "not right now… wait…" said another. A couple of years later Naruto wonders away from the third's daughter, he falls right into a mob trap. He gets rocks thrown into him and he barely dodges one before he trips. "You killed you're mother beast boy, join the ***** in hell. Yeah you little piece shit die crying… my young daughter did not have the chance. Worthless mother ****er, shitty ass whelp, and a pathetic half-breed no less. Naruto blacks out and wakes with what appears to be blood on his hands. Yet he does not know who it came from or where it is from. All he does is walk and is found by the third's daughter.
-End of flash back
Naruto, sitting on the ground crying hears something call out "Naruto" in a deep voice. He looks around and sees nothing. He feels the need to sleep and goes back to bed, with tears flowing.
Naruto closes his eyes he feels a slight breeze and wakes up in a very dark forest. "Where am I?" he asks and his voice echoes, "Naruto" another soft deep voice said, Naruto heard it and slowly walks towards it. "Hello?" he asks, the response is a large wind gust. "Uzumaki, come forth…" a figure said that is very near, Naruto find himself in a clearing. He looks around and realizes that he is back on his none Henge form. "Red sun… so… this is it" the voice boomed with a soft toned, "Red sun?" Naruto asked in confusion. Suddenly a giant claw swipes the ground near him. The red fur flashes by him and Naruto barely jumps out of the way. "I am the Kurama of the red sun… you will not hold me Orochimaru!" it shouts, it is a giant nine tailed fox. "Wha the… oh crap!" Naruto said barely dodging a tail.
"What in the hell… are you?" Naruto asked, his tail tingling. (Kitsune Yokia Style: Wrath of the hunt)! The giant fox said, miniatures of it begin to form from the tails and as they're descent begin to chase after Naruto who is now trying to run. He gets bitten by one of the foxes but kicks it off into a tree limb the bark stabs through the fox spraying Naruto with its black blood. "Awww! What the hell!" Naruto yells in fear, he gets back up and runs. The giant fox following close behind him. Naruto closes his eyes, and feel something come over him. He stops and crouches down. The nine tails tries to pounce but Naruto jumps above him, "Wha the hell…" Naruto muttered as he felt nothing but air. "What… where are you?" the nine tailed fox roared. Naruto drops down and delivers a kick to the might fox's head. He smiles thinking he had actually done something. The nine tails however, simply scratches near Naruto. "Hello kit… nice of you to give me an itch… now…" begins to shake violently causing Naruto to lose balance. (Bijuu dama!) It roared launching a massive ball of chakra that starts to disintegrate Naruto as coal. Naruto however begins to his own little stunt. He drops in a nose dive towards the ground. Now to have grown another tail giving him two. His flesh that was burnt starts to heal. "I'm not dying that easily you over grown *******!" Naruto shouted in a demonic voice. He jumped towards the nine tails face. It merely till Naruto struck with a chakra extended arm. "Gaaaaahhhhhhh, what the ****? Kit you are pissing me Haagaahhh" the nine tails never got to finish the statement it was knocked in the face again. Naruto smiled thinking he had the upper hand… but why was he not going down. Blood was dropping but from where… he looked down and saw that he was impaled through the abdomen.
Orochimaru awakens to feeling of something is off and decides to head to Naruto's room. On the way there he passes by a lady Xian coming to report to him. "My lord Sasuke has escaped and Naruto is…" "I already know about Naruto, find that bastard Uchiha." He demanded, bringing forth 5 flames upon his fingers. Each flame held a marker for a seal. "Naruto where are you?" asked Orochimaru who entered ht room, he saw Naruto in a corner. Huddled and scared. "What is wrong with you, you have the village up and guards. *It can't be… no… it is. Two tails, well now I guess that means he is giving more and more into my will and is growing. * Orochimaru thought to himself quickly while beginning chuckle the sentence he said. Naruto looks at him and hugs him his two tails encircle Orochimaru. "Master… there was this giant fox… I tried to fight it… but it killed me… I don't want to die save me!" Naruto shouted, his scream blood curdling. Orochimaru did his best to try and comfort the fox boy.
"Naruto-kun … it's all right, it was just a nightmare" Orochimaru said with a false smile, *I need to have a talk with one of the "Subjects" after I get done here. * He thought to himself. Naruto huddled against Orochimaru.

Karin was standing outside and she looks to have cried for a bit. *another… one of me… my clan here… I thought they were mostly dead… mostly scattered. She takes out a picture of her and her family… her mother… and father. They had died in a raid on their home village Uzumagakure inside the land of whirlpools. Orochimaru told her she was the only survivor. She had long since believed him… until now. A young mixed hair idiot was her… cousin. It was there she could tell by his personality. Despite what had happened. She tells with his hair… it was slim but there was a bit of a red shade in some of the hairs that matched hers. A common Uzumaki clan characteristic. Now she sits outside the room of Naruto. "I… I can't believe that… boy is my cousin… if he is then there will only be one way to find out. I am going to steal Orochimaru's files on him when he falls asleep or leaves." She muttered to herself. She felt a pain growing on her neck. On it a triangle seal pulsated. "Damn it I hate this stupid thing… I wish I never signed up for being a test subject for the aero seal" she said with a sigh, she picks up and begins to read in her room.

Xian explored the grounds a bit more, looking for any enemies or signs of the Uchiha. She walks into Tayuya's house. She finds several scrolls open and thrown about. "Tayuya what are you doing?" Xian asked, a displeased look inching on her face. "I've been trying to understand these… well riddles." She replied rubbing the back of her head. Xian smiled and set down with her. "Well let's see what they are" Xian said with a smile, holding Tayuya close.
They open a scroll with the kanji for field on it, in a fit a paragraph long riddle is displayed before them. In it read with an inscribed title of Sage.
Several wind strokes go by and by.
Winds that became cold as night, making villagers seek a warming plight.
Red eyes within the clouds, a far cry from the right path.
Behold he who stands upon the mountains.
A master of time in memorial.
The sage that guided all of man to ascension.
Bending the forces of nature to their whims.
The energy they controlled however was corrupting.
Greed took its course, and man rose to war.
Out of lust and wish for an eternal power.
What is the nature of true man?
Is it to make war out of spite and prove to be the best?
Or is it for a cause that will stay in their hearts till they die.
- Asura Kinaki
Xian bursts out laughing and begins to slow down to a chuckle after seeing Tayuya's bewildered face. "This isn't a riddle Tayuya-Chan it's a poem. I can see why with the two questions at the end though." Xian said with a modest bit of muffled laughter in-between her stops. "But what does it mean?" Tayuya asked, getting irritated and anxious for the answer. "It means you have choice" Xian replied now with a serious face. "A choice…?" Tayuya said with hesitation, now afraid she has done something wrong. "You can choose to fight for you believe in… I believe that you will grow strong… stronger than Tsunade the slug princess." Xian joked, she patted Tayuya's head. "… Xian-Chan… I want to become someone that's not weak… someone who becomes a true respected person. Like you" Tayuya said with a smile creeping on her face. Xian smiled *I… feel so proud to be her care taker, too bad that I can't protect you… what must be done has to be done.* she thought to herself trying to reassure her resolve.

In a dark part of the forest Sasuke manages to elude his captors. He is slowly walking towards the hidden leaf village. "Why did they give me to him… too match Itachi! Are you kidding me! All this time to make him acknowledge me… to only be given to a possible research that can improve me… by a freakin seal… I swear when I get back home. I'll… I'll *curse re-activates* kill them all. Sasuke said in demonic like growl. Slowly limping in the forest. He looks up at the sky and calms down. *I want to go home, I want to hug my mother…* Sasuke thought of his mother. A black-haired woman who was always there for him even when he practiced his fire styles… always caring, always so subtle in her voice... Sasuke has a tear start to come from his eyes.

Karin takes a walk through the forest… trying to clear her head. She comes upon to be tracks. She decides to follow them. Drawing a kunai out if, not one-act of self-pity will be taken if it needs to be done... What she sees is a small black-haired boy moving along the dirt road. No more than her age. "Hello?" she says slowly, moving towards him. She notices black marks around his body. His clothing on the top has been ripped open and his veins on his arms are popping out. "Go away… now" he demands in a sigh. "Who are you?" Karin said as she nears him… not noticing a trip wire near her foot. Sasuke turns around and is about to yell at her but his heightened senses from the curse mark lets him see the wire. "Stop! There's a trap!" he yells. She does not listen trips the wire. There is loud noise of opening wood and soon a many kunai fly out in Karin's position. "Awwww!" she screams as they near her. Sasuke rushes quickly, letting himself be taken by the seal. He manages to grab her and lunge forward barely missing the kunai. Sasuke lands back first and Karin falls on top of him. "Stupid idiot" he mutters, he pushes her of him. "I-I-I'm sorry I did not notice what you meant. I thought you were lying." She said, a tear falling past her eyes. Sasuke sees something black on her and scoffs. "So you too huh?" he said, his seal forming a tri tomeo on his body. They each look to have circled around before they stand still. "You mean the cursed marks. Yeah I have one… are you…" she suddenly realizes who she is staring at. "Sasuke!" she yells and gets back up and holds her kunai. "I don't want to fight… especially a girl… I just want to go home to my mother and father. Orochimaru upheld the end of his bargain. He made it with my father… to make me stronger." Sasuke said while, grabbing some Kunai.
Karin just watched as he began to walk away. She blushes and realizes how hansom he looks in the moonlight. She shakes her head and runs back to the village gates. There she is confronted with a smiling Orochimaru. "Hello Karin... Take a walk? I felt your seal loosen." He said with a cold grin. "Did you… find Sasuke?" He said while kneeling down. "Y-yes Orochimaru sama, he said something about you making a deal with his father." She replied nervously afraid to make him angry. "Well… we did… but… it seems my end was upheld so I am going tom let him go." He shrugged as he said this. Surprising a nervous Karin and Xian who had overheard while looking for him. "What do you mean? He just killed several villagers and ninja with the little outburst he just had!" yelled Xian, Orochimaru shot a glaring look at her releasing a heft amount of killer intent. She shot her eyes open upon feeling the pressure. S-s-sorry Orochimaru-kun… I will obey your orders… do you wish for me to create a file for him a dossier?" she asked with a depressed voice. "Go ahead… it shall be interesting… Naruto and I are going to have a test done tomorrow… I wonder what will happen if I ever made him angry enough." Snaps fingers and moves hand forwards revealing a captured Iruka.
"You god damn snake, I knew it! You're going to use Naruto for your own gain." Iruka yelled in a rage. Struggling to break free. His bindings cutting into his wrists.
demon or very angry
Sasuke runs as fast as he can after he gets over the gate. The curse mark begins to burn and hears a voice calling to him to turn back. He ignores it and keeps running. Back to the clan that gave him for research. Itachi his brother was always the family favorite and that's why when it boiled down to it the family he called his loved ones. Told Orochimaru to improve his powers to match Itachi, however Orochimaru had no intention on bringing him back. *I… oh gods this hurt… I need to get my clan and let them know that… Ahhhhhhhgggggggghhhhhh! That Orochimaru is liar… he was going too… to steal the clan's ability.* Sasuke thought as pain surge after pain surge affected his body. He could hear several ninja dogs behind him; he panicked and began forming hand seals that his father taught. (Fire style: Great dragon Bomb)! He shouted, a torrent of flame formed into a ball and shot out from his mouth. It then separated and formed smaller ones as it arched above the location of where he thought the ninja were. He could hear screams as flames exploded, the cursed mark on his body began to further and further. One of his eyes started to glow a golden hue. He began to laugh… he felt another power surge through his body. Then he heard someone yell. He turned and jumped into the trees. He began to run through the limbs, but being untrained he trips over a branch and falls crashing into the ground. A ninja tries to jump on him; he sent his fist right into his gut. It had enough force to penetrate right through causing blood to fly. Sasuke began to see hundreds of birds flutter around him, he kneeled and screamed. "What is… this" his voice turning slightly demonic, he began to convulse. As the power kept pouring into him.

A black-haired woman who was always there for him even when he practiced his fire styles… always caring, always so subtle in her voice... Sasuke has a tear start to come from his eyes.

Karin takes a walk through the forest… trying to clear her head. She comes upon to be tracks. She decides to follow them. Drawing a kunai out if, not one-act of self-pity will be taken if it needs to be done... What she sees is a small black-haired boy moving along the dirt road. No more than her age. "Hello?" she says slowly, moving towards him. She notices black marks around his body. His clothing on the top has been ripped open and his veins on his arms are popping out. "Go away… now" he demands in a sigh. "Who are you?" Karin said as she nears him… not noticing a trip wire near her foot. Sasuke turns around and is about to yell at her but his heightened senses from the curse mark lets him see the wire. "Stop! There's a trap!" he yells. She does not listen trips the wire. There is loud noise of opening wood and soon a many kunai fly out in Karin's position. "Awwww!" she screams as they near her. Sasuke rushes quickly, letting himself be taken by the seal. He manages to grab her and lunge forward barely missing the kunai. Sasuke lands back first and Karin falls on top of him. "Stupid idiot" he mutters, he pushes her of him. "I-I-I'm sorry I did not notice what you meant. I thought you were lying." She said, a tear falling past her eyes. Sasuke sees something black on her and scoffs. "So you too huh?" he said, his seal forming a tri tomeo on his body. They each look to have circled around before they stand still. "You mean the cursed marks. Yeah I have one… are you…" she suddenly realizes who she is staring at. "Sasuke!" she yells and gets back up and holds her kunai. "I don't want to fight… especially a girl… I just want to go home to my mother and father. Orochimaru upheld the end of his bargain. He made it with my father… to make me stronger." Sasuke said while, grabbing some Kunai.
Karin just watched as he began to walk away. She blushes and realizes how hansom he looks in the moonlight. She shakes her head and runs back to the village gates. There she is confronted with a smiling Orochimaru. "Hello Karin... Take a walk? I felt your seal loosen." He said with a cold grin. "Did you… find Sasuke?" He said while kneeling down. "Y-yes Orochimaru sama, he said something about you making a deal with his father." She replied nervously afraid to make him angry. "Well… we did… but… it seems my end was upheld so I am going tom let him go." He shrugged as he said this. Surprising a nervous Karin and Xian who had overheard while looking for him. "What do you mean? He just killed several villagers and ninja with the little outburst he just had!" yelled Xian, Orochimaru shot a glaring look at her releasing a heft amount of killer intent. She shot her eyes open upon feeling the pressure. S-s-sorry Orochimaru-kun… I will obey your orders… do you wish for me to create a file for him a dossier?" she asked with a depressed voice. "Go ahead… it shall be interesting… Naruto and I are going to have a test done tomorrow… I wonder what will happen if I ever made him angry enough." Snaps fingers and moves hand forwards revealing a captured Iruka.
"You god damn snake, I knew it! You're going to use Naruto for your own gain." Iruka yelled in a rage. Struggling to break free. His bindings cutting into his wrists.
