Ch 42

I smirked as I faced the Sand siblings. 

They would be useful allies, but as things were going it would be hard. So for the moment, I was going to use fear. 

"We don't want to kill you, so just back down," I chuckled at the word. 

Kill? 

You think you can kill me? 

I smirked, "let's see what you got." I ran to them with my katanas, the sand siblings also did the same. I switched the way I held the katanas so that instead of the knife part cutting them, it would be the handle that would hit them instead. I don't want to kill them, I don't even want to hurt them. But I need to teach these kids a lesson. Temari was the first to try to hit me, we went to use her large fan to throw a wind jutsu at me but I knew that. I jumped over it before knocking the fan out of her grip. It was a narrow alley, not the place to use a large weapon. I then threw my katana at Kankuro, the end of the handle hit him on the head, knocking him to the ground. I threw my other katana, pinning him on the ground. "Don't. Move." I glared at him. I saw him flinch before I turned my attention back to Temari. Gaara hadn't moved, he just watched. "My dear Temari, I won't hurt you. So just stay down," she went to attack me again before I did it. 

///Flashback/// 

"What is it you want to show me?" I asked Orochimaru as he led me to the middle of the training grounds. 

I'm a little concerned. 

"I just want to see your reaction," I was a few feet in front of him, curiously questioning everything. 

But then I felt it. 

The pressure... 

The cold chill... 

The obsession...

The bloodlust... 

The hatred... 

The overwhelming feeling of dread... 

It was Orochimaru's killing intent. 

My body reacted before I could even think. I jumped back to the edge of the room. But waiting for me there was a Kunai in my head. 

It pierced my skin. 

It was a vision of my death. 

I regained my concentration in a few seconds before backing away slowly. 

I was glad I kept my eye mask on because my sharingan activated in response to his killing intent. 

"...Not bad," Orochimaru stopped his bloodlust and I was finally able to relax. 

"Never. Do. That. Again." 

I was serious, the next time he decided to do something like this I was killing him. 

Orochimaru laughed and brushed me off. 

But I was dead serious. 

He would learn later how wrong he was for dismissing me. 

///Flashback//End//// 

I did it. 

My killing intent. 

Mine is different from Orochimaru. His had obsession, greed, hatred and everything bad. Mine had resentment and sadness, and I made sure they felt every bit of it. 

They stood still in fear, never moving or looking away. I stopped doing it and smiled sweetly, while mine wasn't as bad as Orochimaru, that didn't mean mine didn't pack a punch. 

I finally turned my attention to Gaara. 

"Hello, sorry about your siblings," Gaara narrowed his eyes at me. 

"You're not afraid of me," he didn't say it like a question, it was more like stating a fact. 

"I'm not, and I'm not afraid of your little friend either," Shukaku, the One-tails. 

I activated my Sharingan and went into Gaara's mind. When I opened my eyes I saw a sandy-brown coloured tanuki, with black cursed seal markings all over its face. 

Shukaku... 

"Hello there," I bowed in greetings. I was immediately bombarded with Sand, aiming for the kill. 

Ow... 

I will admit, I panicked a little from the suddenness. 

That hurt... 

"Stop." I was surprised when Shukaku stopped attacking. Even more surprised when he stopped moving all together. 

My eyes...

"You alright?" I looked back to young Gaara who looked shocked at me and Shukaku. 

It wasn't Gaara who did anything. 

Was Shukaku being reasonable? 

"...Uchiha bastard." I turned to Shukaku who looked at me in deep hatred. 

"Yes?" 

Does he treat everyone like this? 

"Release me! Right this instant!" I tilted my head confused, what did I do? 

"Deactivate your sharingan!" 

I looked confused before I realized that everything was red. I was confused because the domain we were in was yellow so it made everything brown. 

But normal sharingan don't control tailed beasts. 

Tears of blood came down my face, and then I realized. 

Mangekyou sharingan... 

Oh shit... 

Oh shit! 

I can control a tailed beast with my Mangekyou sharingan! 

"Sorry, I didn't realize what I was doing," I let him go. 

But then he tried to attack me again. 

So I restrained him again. 

"Stop! It!" I sighed, "so much happening in a short time." I rolled my eyes and took myself out of Gaara's mind. Gaara was still stunned from everything so I smiled and patted his head. 

"You're a strong boy for taking care of that big baby, you deserve a reward." 

I knocked him out. 

"No!" Temari rushed to Gaara's side. 

"What did you do?" I stepped back, giving her space. And also taking my katana back. I helped Kankuro up, the guy being very hesitant to receive my help. 

"He's just asleep, stay here for a bit." Temari then tried to wake Gaara up to which I stopped her. 

"Shukaku won't take over, I'm keeping him at bay," Temari relaxed a little but was still concerned. "As long as I'm here, he can sleep without any trouble." 

And that's what I did, I stayed with the Sand siblings for 4 hours. Letting Gaara sleep for longer than I'm sure he does sleep. They didn't really speak, but they did ask the occasional question. 

"Why are you letting him sleep?" I hummed, "because he needed it." 

I smirked "why did you attack me?" Kankuro was the one to answer, "we were curious about you. Our father hadn't told us anything." I chuckled, it was still early in the plan so they wouldn't know. 

Maybe in a few weeks they'll get answered. 

"All you need to know for now is that your lives are about to change." 

I smiled kindly, "for the better."
