Ch 101

"You old snake, that shit you pulled almost got me killed!" 

Orochimaru didn't even blink at my audacity, probably because my anger actually came from a place that was passable in his mind. 

"Hitori, glad for you to join us." 

I glanced to his left to see an older Sasuke from the last time I saw him. My anger finally disappeared the moment I saw him, so that's why Orochimaru called me by my fake name. 

"Who is she?" 

Sasuke had a permanent scowl on his face as he side-eyed me. 

Wow, this will be so... fun. 

"Lately people have been saying she's my pupil," Orochimaru made another verbal strike at me. 

I could hardly stop myself from rolling my eyes, "you've barely taught me anything. It's more like you're using my experiments for your own use." 

If I'm going to be thought of as his pupil, sad enough as is, I better have some good things come from it. I was standing in front of both of them now, Orochimaru being taller than me and Sasuke being much shorter. 

"Very useful experiments indeed," Orochimaru chuckled, "but, what were you speaking about before? How have I almost killed you?" 

Is he playing dumb? Is he seriously playing the innocent card after that stunt he pulled. I had become too tired to deal with this, so I just raised a brow at him, silently judging him openly. 

Orochimaru didn't mind, he probably knew he would put up with me so he was ready for this. But why hide what I went through, it was his fault. 

"I got kidnapped by the akatsuki." 

Short, blunt and sums up the story. 

Orochimaru finally showed an expression other than amusement as he raised a brow in surprise. Sasuke on the other hand gave me a death glare as the group in question had his lovely older brother, Itachi. 

"Is that so? And they let you go?" 

I let out a scoff at Orochimaru's question. 

"Of course not, I escaped after a few days." 

While my escape had been a plan in my mind, it did go well a little too easily. I don't care, not my problem anymore. 

"Oh? Did you meet any familiar faces?" 

Before I could even make a thought, a little black haired boy beat me to it. 

"Did you see anyone named... Itachi Uchiha?" 

I glanced at Sasuke unimpressed. I get that he's in the mood for revenge 24/7 and I get that, but please stop making it everyone else's problem. 

"Yes, I met them all. Itachi was the one who picked me up." 

I watched his expression closely, speaking to Sasuke directly instead of Orochimaru this time. And it did not disappoint, Sasuke immediately activated his sharingan in anger as I spoke the name of that I should not anymore. 

While I could see and feel his rage, it didn't affect me as much as Kabuto. 

I smirked, bending down to Sasuke's height. 

"Sasuke, turn it off. I know you are angry, but no one will take you seriously if you keep bringing out the sharingan every time you hear your brother's name. Calm down." 

I need to get this through his head before I have to deal with all this bullshit. I will not put up with the two Uchiha brothers' antics. 

Sasuke, not to my surprise, didn't like my words. He glared harder at me, unable to put up with my words. 

"What makes you think that I will listen to you?" 

He had mocked me to my face and was even asking just a disrespectful question. Well, if I'm going to live with him. 

I take off my blindfold from my head and drop it to the floor. Sasuke recognized me, but not in the way I thought. 

"You're that girl from the Chunin exam." 

Yes I am, but you know who I really am? 

I activated my sharingan, glaring at him with all the anger I've felt since the moment my parents were killed in front of me. 

It doesn't matter if he knows who I am, he will find out. Might as well put him in his place before he connects the dots. 

"Sasuke Uchiha, you are weaker than me. Your sharingan is less powerful than mine. Your mind isn't as experienced. You stand no chance, back down." 

Get them when they're weak, that's what I was taught. That's what the world kept doing to me. That's what I've experienced my whole life. 

The abused becomes the abuser. The cycle continues through me and onto the next gen. 

But I won't do that. I will let him go through this, but he won't be alone. Being alone is the worst feeling on this earth. 

There's no one to look back to. No one to trust. No one to help you when you're down. 

It's just you. 

Sasuke, feeling that he wasn't able to outperform me, finally turned his sharingan off. He definitely looked bitter as he looked away with a scowl. 

Good, now I won't need to pressure him. 

I slowly turn my head to Orochimaru next. 

"And you. I get your actions were calculated and that you didn't release all my information, but what you did could've gotten me killed. And who would've loved that." 

I spat out with all the venom in my body. 

I was tired of everyone pushing me around like I was a pushover. I had to beg and grovel to the ends of the earth, and even then I still nearly died. I barely escaped with my life. 

And now I'll be hunted. All thanks to that damn snake. Before Obito threatened me, he had little interest in me. But now things are different. I'm useful. And also escaped from his grasp and even under his radar. 

Bet he's not happy. 

Orochimaru didn't pay any mind to my words, brushing them off like he's shedding skin. 

"You're here now." 

I felt my eyes twitch at his words. 

I stood up from where I was and started stretching on the spot. Feeling all my joints popping felt satisfying, but not as satisfying as Orochimaru's death would be for me. 

My sharingan was still activated, I did not take my eyes off Orochimaru the whole time. I needed to do something, anything, I just needed to do something to keep myself occupied. 

And it needed to be physical. 

"Bring your men out, I need many sparring partners." 

I need to let off some steam before I burst a blood vessel.

A/n Enjoy~
