Chapter 2 Alive

Orochimaru

He was weak. He has never been used to that. The last thing he remembered clearly was Sasuke betraying him ans killing him? Nothat couldn't be right he remembered something after that. He remembers seeing Naruto? He could feel himself talking but his voice was all wrong. The images were so fragmented but he was fighting and gaining some leverage over what? He didn't know.

Then he feels weak. He slowly becomes aware that he is aware and can feel. He opens his eyes feeling beyond dazed.

"Hello Orochimaru Sama..."

Tsunade

"That sick twisted bastard." Anko spat out.

Tsunade has just finished giving Anko the lastest info concerning her old sensei and her old teamate.

The way Naruto described it it was more like something out of a horror flick then real life medical jutsu. From what Tsunade gathered from what the team could tell her was that either Kabuto would be taken over by Orochimaru's spirit or Kabuto would die fighting it.

Tsunade had been concerned about the shade of color Anko had turned. But it was the first color to her she'd seen in months that wasn't pale. She was beginning to look like the old snake sannin himself.

Tsunade suspected that Anko didn't quite grasp that Orochimaru's spirit was still alive.

Anko

Anko was thoroughly disgusted.

To take pieces off a dead body...

And graph them onto your own skin...Sick!

Kabuto must really lost it.

She was barely listenig due to her troubled thoughts.

Tsunade was saying something about a mission to find out what Kabuto was up to. As much as it made her sick she accepted. Maybe if she was lucky she would get to pummel him.

She felt that familiar ache as she left the Hokage's office. Worse then the curse mark had ever been. Like a knife stabbing directly into her heart.
