Path to Perdition (complete)

A/N: Hey there sweeties! I have to say, I never thought this many people actually didn't like Oro! But not to worry, I think I won't be writing another NaruOro, unless someone wants me to. If they do, then I'll post it at my live journal or something, so everyone can be happy ok?

Secondly"¦to all those who want a happy ending I will not disappoint you"¦.the summary says it all"¦it is up to Sasuke to change Naruto and the story is going to be the way he does it and events that follow. I have a pretty specific plot actually but I don't know if this story is going to be long"¦it depends on how long my chapters are I guess. Neways now that we got that cleared, on with the story!

Chapter 5:

Orochimaru stroked the blonde's face lightly. He smirked; the biggest turn on last night had been that arrogant Uchiha's screams. How he hated that dark haired man"¦the container who had walked away. He reveled in the fact that Naruto was his"¦this was what gave him sweet revenge. After everything he had put the blonde through he knew that Naruto would never return to being who he used to be!

The thought made Orochimaru laugh. He cant help remembering the broken fifteen year old boy who Kabuto had caught wandering around in the forest, all Orochimaru had had to do, was push the brokenness a bit further and then gain the boy's trust. It had been very easy to convince Naruto that Orochimaru and Kabuto were the only beings who cared about him"¦very easy indeed, but if they had gone any further, then the boy would have broken"¦it was very good luck that he had succumbed.

Orochimaru smiled. He did really care about this boy"¦this Naruto; his Naruto"¦this Naruto was the best person in the world to aid Orochimaru. Orochimaru couldn't have cared less, if it was still Jiraiya's Naruto"¦the one with a head full of shit, like never breaking promises and such like. But then he owed it all to Konoha, he supposed. If Konoha hadn't broken the boy enough"¦Orochimaru could never have made him into the man he loved and desired. Of course he would stop caring all at once, if Naruto stopped being the way he was now. But he was sure that it couldn't happen"¦not even with the Uchiha near by.

Slowly he extracted himself from Naruto's clinging arms and got dressed. He had the boy's complete loyalty and in the end that is what mattered to him. If that stupid Uchiha boy wanted to try then, he even give him a few ways to turn Naruto"¦he wouldn't succeed anyway. He closed the door and started to laugh"¦he laughed all the way to his own chambers.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto woke up wondering why he had a sudden depressed feeling. It had been ages since he'd felt like that"¦five years to be precise. Must have been because of the stupid Uchiha"¦god he'd have to ask the bastard to behave, he could be such a mood killer! Naruto decided to visit his slave and tell him few things.

He walked to the door and pushed it open gently, it opened half way, but something was obstructing it. Naruto slipped in and saw the Uchiha's pale form, lying on the floor. There was no doubt that Sasuke was deeply asleep, usually he would wake at the slightest disturbance.

Naruto, felt his chest tighten involuntarily, as he turned the Uchiha over, gently so as not to wake him. Tear tracks marred the man's perfect face; his hands were covered in what looked like blood, most likely from trying to tear the door down. Naruto felt for his charka and saw that some of it was depleted, and then he realized that the idiotic Uchiha had tried to use chidori on the door! Naruto carried him to the bed, forgetting about the firm talking to he was supposed to be giving the man.

He laid the man upon the bed and went into the bathroom, to get a bowl of water and a cloth. He then began to clean Uchiha's wounded hands, concentrating completely on the job so he wouldn't have to think of what he was doing. The merciless Naruto-sama was cleaning his Omocha's wounds"¦if anyone found him, his reputation at Sound would be finished. This was the time when he wished he'd learned how to heal other's injuries, instead of just healing himself. But then Kabuto was right, he was a killer. Why would a killer know how to heal other people's injuries?

While Naruto was musing, Sasuke woke up to something wet being rubbed across his left hand. Upon discreetly looking to the left, he saw Naruto sitting beside him, in nothing but his boxers, cleaning the blood off his hands with utmost concentration. Sasuke wondered whether to let the blonde know he was awake or not, he decided against it. If Naruto really was concentrating on the wound, then he wouldn't realize that Sasuke was awake. This was fine with him; it would give him more time to observe the blond. Naruto seemed to have zoned out, his concentration only breaking while he shifted to Sasuke's right hand. Behind the carefully blank look on his face, Sasuke could make out some concern trying to break free. Naruto was concerned about him"¦which meant that somewhere in there Naruto was still there.

Naruto stopped cleaning once he was sure all the blood was gone and reached for the medicine he had brought. Picking up a can he sighed. "I wonder why I always use the Hokage's medicine"¦Kabuto is very capable, but I've never approached him for anything other than learning healing jutsu's." he murmured aloud. Sasuke was asleep, so it didn't matter if he did say anything aloud.

Smearing some cream on Sasuke's hands, he wondered why he felt so out of it. He rubbed his chin, feeling the stubble, before realizing he'd rubbed swath of cream on to his face. "Shit! I'm so fucking out of it today! Must be that fucking aphrodisiac, stupid Oro-sama used! Idiotic bastard, one would think he wanted me to be all dazed and unable to finish my missions."

Sasuke didn't know whether to smile or choke. Naruto sounded a lot like the old Naruto, swearing and cursing and being clumsy, but then the topic he was talking about forcefully showed Sasuke that it really wasn't his Naruto. Then he realized that Naruto had finished tying up, the bandages and found it safe to open his eyes.

Naruto was staggering, to the door. He leaned on the door frame, before letting out a bellow. "KIMURA! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE RIGHT NOW!"

Sasuke wondered what this was all about. A very pretty shinobi was bowing in front of Naruto. "Yes, Naruto-sama, what may I do for you?" she said in a soft voice, oddly reminding him of Hinata.

"Get Orochimaru-sama. Tell him I'd like to see him immediately. Tell him I'd like to meet him here because I cannot walk all the way to his bloody fucking room!" Naruto yelled, his eyes turning a slight red.

"Yes, Naruto-sama. Right away Naruto-sama." She speeded off.

"Must be really nice to be listened to like that"¦having all of them do your bidding and wiping your floor with their asses. Never thought the stupid dobe, would have this much respect"¦unless he did really go on to become Hokage." Sasuke remarked.

Naruto turned to him red eyed. "How long have you been awake"¦?"

"Long enough for you to destroy your "˜evil' image with a few really sweet things."

Naruto smirked. "Don't let it go to your head"¦I like my toys beautiful"¦I'm not about to fuck a broken toy"¦you should be glad I'm not like Jassin, my apprentice"¦he throws away toys which have even a single scratch."

They heard the door opening and Orochimaru came in. "You wanted to see me Naruto-kun?"

Sasuke almost yelled a warning as Naruto caught Orochimaru and pinned him to the wall. But the Sannin only smiled. "You seem to be in a really bad mood Naruto-kun. Did I do something wrong?"

"YES YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG, YOU ASSHOLE! What the hell did you use last night? I can barely stand! I have to go on missions, I have to give out missions, but I can't because I'm feeling dazed and I can't think straight! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" Naruto growled; killing intent completely focused on the Sannin, who Sasuke noted with satisfaction, wasn't unaffected. Orochimaru actually had small beads of sweat forming on his forehead, though he didn't sound scared at all.

"I was thinking Naruto-kun that you should have a small vacation, before carrying out the mission I'm going to assign you. I knew you'd work yourself to death if I didn't do it. What Kabuto gave me was an aphrodisiac, though I did mix something else in it for relaxation. Since I used a lot of it on you, it affected you more than me. Why don't you let me go, Naruto-kun?" Orochimaru gave him what would have been a sweet smile on any other face.

Naruto didn't let him go. "Don't you dare try something like this again"¦I can't keep a hold on Kyuubi's power! Do you know how fucking dangerous that is? If someone attacks I can't help you"¦how can I help you when I can't fucking walk? Next time you do this I'll fucking"¦"

"You'll do what Naruto-kun? Kill me? And lose one of the only people who care for you? You know how much I care about you Naruto-kun"¦don't you?" Orochimaru caressed his cheek.

Sasuke watched as Naruto suddenly slumped and let go of the Sannin. He bowed. "I'm sorry, Orochimaru-sama. I had no right to act like that. After all everything you do is for my own good." Sasuke frowned, the stupid git actually sounded sorry.

Orochimaru gave something that resembled a paternal smile, though it couldn't have been that"¦no parent would fuck their child. "It's all right, Naruto-kun. I don't mind. Why don't you rest and spend some time with your toy today? You'll have a lot to catch up on I'm sure."

Sasuke stared at him wondering why Orochimaru was giving him such an opportunity to get through to Naruto, but the Sannin just smiled at him and left. He must be up to something"¦

Naruto stared after the door looking like a lost puppy. Sasuke scowled. "Naruto, you idiot. You know that's not true! You know we all care about you back at Konoha too"¦you're just letting him manipulate you! What makes you think that snake is capable of caring?"

Naruto looked at him with a dead look in his eyes. "Do they? I never got the impression they did. Orochimaru-sama loves me, he cares about me and he protected me when I was weak. He's not a snake"¦"

Sasuke gave him an exasperated look. "Naruto! What happened to you? You're acting crazy, dobe! Orochimaru knows nothing of love. He'll protect if you're something he wants. What happened to you?"

Naruto's eyes scared Sasuke now. They looked so lonely and dead, Sasuke wanted to throw his arms around him, but Naruto's stance was still in "˜deadly' mode and he knew he would be beaten to pulp if he let that continue. Naruto began talking in a slow voice. Sasuke had to strain to hear it; carefully he went to sit by Naruto who'd collapsed on to his bed. The blonde's voice was making him feel cold dread inside, it was so dead.

(Flashback)

It was raining again; it always rained really hard during this time of spring. Naruto had just turned fifteen in October and it seemed like everything was going to be ok. The villagers seemed to respect him after seeing his fight in the chuunin exams a year back. He had just had a really good bout of training with Sasuke. The dark haired boy had left a while ago before it had stared to rain.

He hadn't seen it coming. He hadn't had time to think"¦the chakra's were those of the Konoha nins, he'd felt them everyday now in the same place, he had never thought they'd be a threat. But they had been the biggest threat ever. It had all been quick, a needle to his throat and he was down. Unable to defend himself he just lay there. He could hear the men, whispering and then he heard zippers being undone, fear had taken a tentative hold on his heart, he still was a little out of it.

He didn't remember much after that, they had broken a few bones, but the most overwhelming feeling was pain. There were layers and layers of pain, coming in waves one after the other. He felt like he'd been ripped in two"¦like he'd been sent to hell, they had never stopped, one after the other. He was praying, praying hard to any god that they had quenched their lust and would leave, but they didn't. In the end the damage was so bad, that even Kyuubi couldn't heal him.

He lay there in the puddle of water, blood and semen all around him. He couldn't remember their voices or what they looked like just the never ending pain. He got up at last; he didn't know how he could do so. Making his way to Hokage tower he collapsed in front of Tsunade's door.

The next thing he saw was Tsunade crying, she asked him who did it, but he didn't know. He gave her his trade mark smile. Being next to her, made him feel protected. He promised he would be fine, neither Sasuke nor Sakura knew. She just told Kakashi to keep an eye on him. After a month or so everything seemed all right. Kakashi was sent on an urgent mission and he found himself alone after training.

It happened once more. He didn't even know if it was the same men. Once more all he could remember is pain, but this time he didn't make it to the Hokage's office. This time he went home. He used a bit of the cream Tsunade has given him and rested for a while. He knew he wanted to leave. He also knew that he must say goodbye. He couldn't help but feel a hatred for Konoha. The villagers never cared for him! But he squelched it.

He headed to the lake where he knew Sasuke would be. He just sat there next to the dark haired boy knowing that he would be gone soon. He told him his "˜secret' about his parentage and then decided to leave. He couldn't bear the thought of touching anyone but then he was leaving and would never see Sasuke again. He kissed him lightly, told him loved him and ran back home.

After that he spent days wandering in the forest, far away from Konoha. He couldn't remember how he got there, but suddenly he was stuck in this cave. This tiny voice kept telling him how horrible the villagers were. The tiny voice was showing him the light, telling him how foolish he had been to care about Konoha or Tsunade-baa-chan. It told him how Tsunade baa-chan was at fault, how if she had placed more protection it wouldn't have happened a second time. His mind replayed all the awful memories of Konoha; he started to see what an idiot he had been, caring so deeply for the hell!

The tiny voice had stayed with him day and night, it never left him, and the memories never left him, the pain never left him. He knew he was going insane. He knew any day now he would break. He yearned for death"¦a nice quiet death with him and his insane little mind. The tiny voice would keep him company"¦he could die with the tiny voice which was his sole companion. He was stuck in a cave, the entrance closed up, dirty, tired and insane.

Then just when he thought he would die at last, he'd heard scraping. The entrance was being opened; someone was digging up the mud entrance. How had the mud got there? Why was the cave covered in mud? The tiny voice asked. Oh yeah I shut it up myself"¦I wanted the darkness.

All he saw before he passed out were snake eyes. When he woke up he was in a bed. He had freaked out; he'd lashed out at anyone who dared to touch him. Until Orochimaru had come in. He had taken the medicine from Kabuto and calmed Naruto down. He had been talking in a soothing voice, Naruto had quietly taken it.

Orochimaru-sama had come in everyday, talked to him, read to him, made sure he was comfortable and gotten him used to someone's touch again. Once he was able to train, Orochimaru-sama had taught him, making sure he grew stronger. When he had turned eighteen, he was already an ANBU. He was finally ok with touch, and had let Orochimaru-sama, make the moves. The Sannin had let him be seme, though that was odd for him, because he was too sacred to let anyone inside him. The Sannin had taught him how to interact with Kyuubi and become the perfect container. Orochimaru had stayed with him through the night when he had merged with Kyuubi. Orochimaru was there after the painful process, comforting him.

He hated Konoha. He hated everyone in it and everything about it. He had hated Konoha ever since the tiny voice had shown him the truth of Konoha when he was fifteen. He no longer wanted to be like his dad. His dad was responsible for the whole thing. All Naruto wanted now was to serve Orochimaru-sama, whether he did or did not become Otokage. He just wanted to be with someone who cared.

(End of flashback)

Naruto finished talking, just lying quietly on his side of the bed. By the time he had told the whole tale, in low broken tone, it was lunch time. Sasuke watched the blonde, horrified at the amount of pain he had gone through"¦but wondering how to bring him back now. To make him see that people did care. He knew now why Orochimaru had been so over confident about keeping Naruto.

Orochimaru had been there for Naruto for the last five years in every thing he had done. And unlike Sasuke Orochimaru had never left the blonde, he had made sure Naruto understood that the blonde was his top priority. Orochimaru had made Naruto feel loved"¦by pretending"¦Sasuke knew the snake didn't or couldn't have any gentle emotions"¦to love the blonde. Sasuke felt sick"¦it was the perfect plan. He even had a feeling he knew where the tiny voice in Naruto's head had come from"¦after all the blond didn't remember how he had gotten to the cave"¦

Sasuke looked at Naruto's still form. The dobe was still staring off into space. He reached out and touched his shoulder, carefully. Naruto jumped and looked at Sasuke, fear brimming in his eyes. Sasuke held up both his hands. "Naruto"¦I'm your best friend, I won't hurt you. And I know I've never said this but I'm sorry for all the pain I put you through back then"¦please Naruto"¦just give me another chance to get to know you"¦"

Naruto stared back at him stony faced, obviously not believing a thing, but he didn't say anything. He didn't even object. Unfortunately for Sasuke, a servant came in bearing some trays, followed by a shinobi. Naruto's face went straight back into his tough look. It was the shinobi who Naruto had sent on a mission to retrieve the container.

Naruto looked him up and down; the shinobi looked a little worse for wear. "Did you capture him, Shinjou? Is the container safe? And were there any casualties?"

"The container is safe, Naruto-sama. But we lost Kuro; she fell to some rock nins while we were retrieving it. Hisato is not too good either, but we sent him to Kabuto-san. Jassin lived up to his reputation and his teachers, he isn't hurt except for a scratch, you have taught him very well, Naruto-sama, as is expect of you." Shinjou bowed even lower.

Naruto smiled. "Send him in. I want to see him. I want to see the container as well"¦did you capture the kid who had Kimimaro's ability? Are you sure it was him? He's the last one left and it's a miracle that Kabuto spotted him."

Shinjou nodded. "Yes, he is. He was willing enough, he has heard about you actually and was happy when we told him you would be training with him. It looks like our spies in hidden rock have done their job well."

Naruto waved his hand. "You're dismissed. Send Jassin in."

"You have an apprentice?" Sasuke asked as Naruto laid a tray on his lap, before laying one on his own lap.

"I started training him when I was eighteen"¦I went with the ANBU at night and trained him in the morning. He was a very good student"¦he had the compassion I used to have but I wiped it out, I think." Naruto looked at Sasuke's bandaged hands. "Your right hand was not too badly bruised, so the cream should have healed it by now. I'll remove the bandages so you can eat. I do not feed my pets." Naruto undid the bandage quickly and went back to eating his own food. Sasuke was surprised that it was not ramen, but rice, with some kind of seafood curry.

A boy entered the room. He looked about sixteen years old. He was beautiful, Sasuke noted. He had long silver hair and deep gold-green eyes. Actually it looked like green flecked with bits of gold. He also had a cool expressionless face"¦something he would not expect from Naruto's student. And then he smiled and his expression changed to a really sweet one.

"Naruto-sensei," he said, his voice a low sultry one. "You wanted to see me?"

Naruto smiled back. Sasuke's heart clenched it was a genuine smile, like the old Naruto had given him before leaving. "Jassin, come sit by me would you? Ask Kimura to ask the maid to bring in one more lunch tray. It's been very long since I saw you."

Jassin did so and then looked at Sasuke. "Who is this?"

Sasuke bristled at being spoken about in that contemptuous tone, but Naruto did nothing to correct it. "It's my new Omocha"¦Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke thought he saw something flash in those beautiful eyes as the boy looked him up and down. "He is hurt"¦if my toy was hurt, I would throw him out. Why do you still keep him sensei?" the tone was petulant.

Naruto sighed. "I'm not like you. Besides I don't waste people just like that. Sasuke here hasn't been used too much"¦he's stubborn which accounts for his hands."

Jassin pursed his lips with irritation. "I think that some one like you deserves a better toy"¦not some rabble like him. What else did you want to see me about?"

Naruto sighed a little irritated. "You really are impatient. Well nothing really, we'll talk some other time. I can see Sasuke's presence is bothering you. I am finished with my lunch; let me just wash up and maybe we should go for a walk or something?"

Jassin nodded watching Naruto go to the bathroom for a bath, before looking at Sasuke. "So you're the one." His voice had suddenly lost its husky quality, and was deeper. "You're the Uchiha who was sensei's best friend. The one who put him through so much pain, the one who made him the murderer he's become. Not that I'm complaining"¦but I always knew Naruto-sensei used to be different. You're trying to bring back the old Naruto aren't you?"

Sasuke stared at boy who looked at him hatefully. "I don't know what you're talking about. Naruto doesn't care about me like he used to. He's different now. Crueler and the snake's lover." He smirked. "And yes, I will succeed, in bringing him back."

Jassin looked ready to rip Sasuke apart. "He used to tell me about you! I hate you! I have no idea why sensei wanted you for a toy, all you do is hurt him still, and I could see it when I came in. I love Naruto-sensei, he's been like a father to me and so has Orochimaru-sama. If you try anything I will kill you. Naruto-sensei is better off the way he is."

Naruto came out fully dressed. He looked from Sasuke to Jassin. "Is something wrong? Jassin-kun, you look very angry, has my Omocha been saying things he shouldn't have?"

Jassin was back to his sweet at the same time, calm killer mode. "Nothing sensei. You know I don't care for broken toys. The last broken toy I had I gave away. You should do the same. Shall we go?"

Naruto nodded and they left. Sasuke stared after them. This Jassin seemed to have all of Naruto's attention. Sasuke knew now that he was walking on egg shells for real. If everything he did to bring Naruto back, was undone by Jassin or Orochimaru, then he would fail. I have to be careful, and I have to gain this Jassin's trust"¦hard though it maybe"¦

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: so how was it people? How do you like Jassin, he won't come in much though he plays a small part kind of in the end. Though it is important. And so what happened to Naruto is also out! I love the way I can make Naruto slam people to the wall and I love he can make people grovel at his feet. He deserves people groveling at his feet when he's not evil! I love Naru-chan!

And did you guys see Sasuke in the manga's latest chapter? Wow! I love the bare chest thingy (I'm so perverted) but I can't like the rope thingy for the life of me or the bit of cloth tied around him. The bare chested shirt and black pants would have been awesome! But I still love Naru-chan a lot more"¦no actually I love Sasuke though he is a bastard. Wait you know what? I just love Itachi and Kakashi!
