[Kusagakure, Orochimaru’s Hidden Base]

Sasuke Uchiha

It was strange to just blink and have a whole lot of memories in my head, strange and very painful. I wish I had more time to take account of what I now know but I can already hear the steps of Orochimaru, the snake has a very distinct gait that makes it easy to identify him even when he is playing hide and seek inside someone else’s body for all his genius Orochimaru sure can miss the obvious.

The door to my darkened room opens and I waste no time in activating my Sharingan for a properly dramatic entrance. I can almost hear the ominous music playing in the background or maybe I’m just going insane that would surely explain the new memories.

“You’re late I guess that means that Naruto proved to be more trouble than you thought he would be” thanks to my enhanced eyesight I can see the shock on all of their expression even if most of them are putting on their best blank faces “if I wasn’t aware that you were holding back I would have killed you right now for wasting my time, I guess that means that apart from the Jutsu you promised me before I can add another. Don’t you think that’s fair Orochimaru?”

There is an intense look on Orochimaru’s face as if he was delighting in my disrespect, his eyes passed all over my body as if he hadn’t seen me in ages and I was sure that it wasn’t a ‘my new body is amazing’ kind of look more like and more like ‘I want to pass my tongue through those abbs’ were he a woman I might have considered it…that also gave me an idea for later.

“Stop being so rude Sasuke you owe everything to Orochimaru-Sama” Kabuto was being the perfect little follower again and I couldn’t help but sneer at his display of loyalty to a man that would easily sacrifice him if that would give him a second more to live.

“Don’t be so angry Kabuto, I did break my promise and it’s only fair if I reward him. I’m curious though, how did you know that Naruto was the one that gave me so much trouble”

The seeming arousal in his voice was putting me off but I powered through it to answer his question “There are wisps of chakra barely visible even to my Sharingan that cling to you, I could recognize that chakra anywhere. That and the fact that your new companion there is a ninja of Konoha and Naruto would follow him the moment he knew that there was news about my whereabouts”

“Hello Sasuke Uchiha, my name is-“

“Sai, I know” and for the first time I can see a semblance of discomfort in Sai and the look Orochimaru was giving me became even more smoldering “I put you all in a genjutsu the moment you walked in and forced you to tell me your name”

At my pronouncement Orochimaru starts laughing without care looking more unhinged as he continues laughing while Kabuto and Sai try to make sense of what I’ve told them, it was all a lie of course I was cheating with future knowledge but illusions came from different places and while I was here I would make sure to use them as best as I could.

For all his power Sasuke never reached the peak of what the Sharingan could do until he was literally handed the power of a god, but I was planning on becoming more proficient with the eyes that could allow me to make a kage my puppet just as Obito did with the Fourth Mizukage. It was also a good way to make sure that I wasn’t going to fight until I could get used to what I knew, there was a real possibility that my new memories? or maybe old memories? Had done something to my motor skills and I would rather not find out now.

Finally, Kabuto found the ability to talk and the first thing out of his mouth was a denial of what I said “That’s impossible! You aren’t nearly as powerful as Orochimaru-Sama!”

“Kabuto, would you like me to tell you your mother's name?” I spoke with disinterest and I barely looked at him but for the first time since I had joined Orochimaru I could see fear in the eyes of Kabuto. “Would you?”

“That can wait Sasuke~” Orochimaru moaned out my name and I felt an unnatural shiver go down my spine “Why don’t you play with your fellow ninja?”

I snorted at the reminder that technically Sasuke(or should I just say me?) wasn’t a missing-nin, at least not yet, all thanks to my pretty reality-warping eyes. Speaking about reality-warping eyes, I focus my gaze on Sai, and in my mind’s eye I can see the way the Sharingan starts to spin and soon we find ourselves inside his head, It was weird knowing that what I was experiencing and what Sai was watching was merely my chakra hijacking his senses and showing us both what I wanted but unlike Sai I could see both reality and the illusion.

We were underground in a room where a kid was drawing on a piece of paper and was watched over by an older teen. Sai was rooted on the spot and couldn’t take his eyes off what he was seeing with a bit of help from my eyes I allowed him to form the face of his ‘older brother’ Shin.

“Fascinating, I see that in spite of what I originally believed we do have something in common, at one point we both wanted to kill our older brother”

Sai’s face changed and the usual smile was replaced by something ugly and filled with fury but before he could do anything to interrupt my game I shifted the scene and now we were at the moment his fake brother died, whatever rage he had soon disappeared as his face took on his usual look of disinterest.

“You were trained well even in the face of trauma you managed to move on or rather suppress your problems, still you’re as pathetic as the corpse at your feet” I walked towards the corpse and kicked the body away from Sai, as I did he flinched but he refused to move still “What a loyal dog you are, but I’ve lost interest in you and I don’t want to be captured by Naruto, at least not yet, I do have a message though and I hope you can deliver it”

“a message?” the monotone voice he answered with almost made me laugh but I didn’t want to waste more time.

“Yes, for Kakashi I discovered something funny, tell him Obito Uchiha lives, that he now lives as Madara Uchiha and that he was the one that freed the Nine-Tails from its container, he was also the one that inflamed your master’s distrust of the Uchiha, isn’t that funny the puppet master of Konoha has been dancing on the strings of a man who was once called a fool by everyone. Don’t say anything about this to your team only report it to Kakashi and Danzo, if you say anything to anyone else a genjutsu I put on you will activate trapping you in an endless dream from which you won’t wake up”

“I understand” as soon as he said the words we came back to reality, only a few seconds had passed in the real world but the mental strain I had put Sai had been so great that he had to sit on the floor as his legs started to fail him. It had come almost instinctively to me, the way to make time slower or faster for a person, it had taken a lot of chakra too at least as much as a couple of Chidori but it was well worth it.

Orochimaru looked attentively at us smiling widely as if he was expecting praise but I quickly burst his bubble “I’m bored of him now, he wasn’t a good toy. Let him go back to the others and let’s go, I don’t want to hear Naruto screeching at me”

“I think you just broke his heart Sasuke”

Looking behind them I can see Naruto, Sakura, and Yamato. How unfortunate.

Sakura Haruno

Sakura couldn’t believe it Sasuke was so close, she could finally see him again! She shouldn’t be so excited while not technically an enemy he was still dangerous and Sakura hadn’t forgotten what Sasuke had done to Naruto but she couldn’t help but hope that he decided to come back to them (to her).

As they got closer to where Sai was supposed to be she started hearing voices and among them was one that always made her weak in the knees.

“- He wasn’t a good toy” as they arrived they noticed the trembling Sai on the floor, gone was that infuriating smile that made her want to hit his insincere face and while she couldn’t see any injuries on him the possibility of poison remained and Sakura had had enough of poisons to last a lifetime when she went to Suna “Let him go back to the others and let’s go, I don’t want to hear Naruto screeching at me”

Sakura winced at the tone Sasuke was using as she faced Naruto she noticed that he wasn’t smiling anymore.

“I think you just broke his heart Sasuke”

That dammed snake was laughing at Naruto and Sakura had to contain herself not to attack him, it wouldn’t have ended well for her anyway since there was a huge difference in strength between them.

“You’re here faster than I expected but you’re wasting your time I haven’t killed Itachi yet so you can just go back empty handed” Sasuke dismissed them with his hand before turning around.

“Sasuke! I’m not leaving this place without you bastard!” Naruto advanced without care but instead of reaching Sasuke or being intercepted Naruto suddenly collapsed instead. Sasuke sighed and turned to look at her his Sharingan was spinning and while she knew that she should look away Sakura couldn’t help but lose herself in his eyes.

Between one blink and the next Sasuke moved in front of her, he pushed her against a wall while he trapped her between his arms, the way his hair framed his face gave him a dangerous look but it suited him perfectly like a perfect mix of refinement and savagery.

“Sasuke-“ the words she was about to say died in her throat as his face got closer to hers, Sakura felt like she was in a dream and she didn’t want to wake up.

“You got stronger” of course that would be the first thing he notices, Sakura almost sighed in frustration but then something unexpected happened.

One of Sasuke’s arms stopped trapping her, instead he was using his hand to touch her face, then the hand moved downwards to her shoulder, Sasuke briefly squeezed it before his hand moved further down to her chest, he let out an appreciative ‘hmm’ as he molested her breasts in front of everyone and Sakura almost let out a moan when he rolled one of her nipples between his fingers.

“Your body is also better” his hand moved down again until he arrived at her hips. Sasuke was checking out her hips! Sakura wanted to faint but she couldn’t not if she wanted to convince Sasuke to come back to the village “I would like your chest to be bigger but you have very nice hips, perfect for breeding and your ass is very nice too”

Sakura felt like steam was coming out of her ears as she heard what Sasuke said, her mind was trapped in a loop as she repeated the word ‘breeding’ in her mind. Then to her disappointment, his hand retreated making her whimper at the lack of his touch.

“Yamato right?” Sasuke turned to her leader and looked at him with clear interest “Or do you prefer Tenzo or perhaps Kinoe fits you best”

Yamato flinched at the names Sasuke spoke of and soon he was taking on a fighting stance making him snort.

“Surrender or I will be forced to-“

“Forced to what? To fight? Don’t make me laugh you can’t fight me and Orochimaru together much less if you have to protect both Naruto and Sai from Kabuto and despite how much Sakura has grown she is still too weak to do anything, now why don’t you go to sleep just like Naruto”

As soon as Sasuke finished speaking Yamato fell to the ground unconscious, only then did she realize what a dangerous situation she was in.

“I guess that’s all then, let’s go Orochimaru I still need more training” they all started to leave and for some reason, Sakura was rooted on the spot her legs were not moving no matter how much she wanted them to “Oh! Right I almost forgot”

Sasuke pushed his hands into her shorts and with a pull, he ripped off her underwear. He observed them like he was analyzing intel for what felt like forever and then he smiled at her, Sasuke smiled at her, it wasn’t a smirk or a sardonic smile it was a true smile and it was better than she had ever dreamed it could be.

“I’m taking this with me and I got to say Sakura, I approve! thongs really are your style” then just as if all had been a genjutsu he disappeared but she knew it was real as the bare sensation on her lower lips was very real.

Sakura didn’t know what had happened with Sasuke or how he got strong enough to knock people out with a look but she couldn’t say that she disliked his confidence or the way he looked at her.

So this is what i promised and while my characterization of Sakura may be a bit off this is my story so I'll do what i want, Sisuke? Sasusi? i still don't know what i will call the SI, is going to follow the path of one of the more overpowered villains in anime history Aizen Sosuke! so expect illusions convoluted plans and technically no lies as the SI tries his best to stop a simp, a plant, and his literal previous self from fucking up the world.

Eventually, this will update alongside Savage-Time.
