Legends

Ok, no one is reviewing or offering to beta so I give up. Here is the first chapter in it’s entirety. It’s dissected into three parts. One part is what Naruto is dreaming Sasuke is doing right now. Another part is what Sakura is imagining what’s happening to Sasuke right now. The other is what Sasuke is doing right now. Guess which one is which. I didn’t make it too hard. Also vote on which part you want me to continue first.
It helps me to know what you all want to see.
PS This takes place approximately 6 months after Sasuke leaves.
PPS Don't worry about me including Sakura in this chapter and the summary. While she is an important character she will not appear too much in my story.


Part One

It was a nice day in the forest. There were a few clouds in the sky, but the sun shone through the thick foliage of the canopy of the unusually tall trees. It lit up parts of the ground in such a way that it looked like the coat of a great jungle cat. When the wind blew it almost appeared as if this phantom beast was moving. It stalked until it came to an abrupt halt were the trees stopped, as though it dare not go any further. As though it could sense an even greater, darker, more dangerous predator just ahead. The clearing it had come across was an unnatural one.

The trees and underbrush had been cleared long ago, but life had dared not attempt to take-root on this parcel of land. There was foulness in the air that only the use of dark, evil, powerful Jutsu’s could incur and it smothered all life before it could take more than a few breaths. Any real animals that lived in these woods had abandoned trails that went through or any where near this place. Even birds flying miles above would skirt around this bald patch in the otherwise impenetrable forest.

However this wasteland was not completely lifeless. Within it were three beings, three human beings, though one could barely be considered that. He watched, a perverse smile on his snakelike face, as two younger men carried out his wishes. One of them held a large scroll that unrolled, as it currently was, held names of a chosen few written in blood. The other, barely old enough to be considered a young man, was currently adding his name to the list. The dagger used to prick the tip of his finger was held by the snakelike man who licked it clean with his unnaturally long tongue.


Part 2
It was a very, very hot day in the desert. The sun was so bright, so hot that if a stray rain cloud appeared it would evaporate almost instantly. Tall cacti provided little shade, their needles so long and threatening they made you think twice before seeking it for shade. The sand covered ground radiated it’s own heat in waves. Even the desert dwelling creatures refused to come out of their hiding places today, making this desolate place even more desolate.

There was one patch of shade. It was created by a giant beach umbrella. Yes, there was a giant beach umbrella in the middle of the god-forsaken desert. There was even a man sitting under it in one of those reclining beach chairs, holding one of the fruity drinks with an umbrella. Next to him stood another, younger, man fanning him with a palm branch; he would stop long enough to feed his companion a grape then return to fanning. It made for an utterly ridiculous, and truly cliche scene but I‘m sure you could figure that out.

The only un-cliche, though still ridiculous, thing about it was the third person just outside the ring of shadow. It was a young raven haired man and he was also hard at work, doing push ups. Sweat soaked his already dark shirt as he mumbled “552, 553, 554, 555,” and so on.

The snakelike man in the chair smiled. “Keep going Sasuke. We want that body of yours to be in tip top shape for when it will become my body,” Orochimaru said in his creepy voice, finishing with an evil cackle. “Kabuto, fan me harder.”

“Yes master Orochimaru,” the silver haired medi-nin answered. Sasuke rolled his eyes and continued his pushups, “567, 568, 569.” He was beginning to wish he had listened to a certain blonde whom had warned him not to go to his current teacher.


Part 3
It was cold in the underground room. The sporadically placed florescent lights (1) in the ceiling gave off very little light and somehow made the room seem even colder than it was. It was spacious to say the least, with a stone floor and stone pillars throughout. The stone itself was gray but parts of it were a rust color. The color of dried blood.

This was a training room in Sound Country which was currently being used by Orochimaru and Sasuke. The snake sannin was testing the handsome young man’s Tai Justsu, to see how much it had actually improved over the past few months. (I’m going to skip the actual fight sequence this time as it’s not important and I suck at them but I promise I will right one....eventually). “Mmmnn Sasuke you have improved greatly. I actually had to put a little effort in it this time. A few months of personalized training and you’ve flourished. At this rate, you surpass my own progress when I was your age,” praised Orochimaru. He walked over to his panting apprentice and put a hand on shoulder.

“You really do remind me of myself at your age. Even back then I could tell I had a far grander fate than either of my comrades. Neither of them could see the truth. there is no right and wrong. Only power and those wi....” he was interrupted by Kabuto. “Orochimaru sir. It seems we have intruders.”

The long haired mans left fist clenched slightly then he said. “I see. Well, it would be rude of me not to great them. Sasuke start work on ninjustsu. I’ll be back in a few moments,” and with that he left.
