Chapter 14: Clash

Orochimaru took his stance, Sasuke glared at him furiously but without hesitation continued on the fight. His sharingan moving furiously, three wheels all moving, as the centre concentrated on the venomous snake infront of him.

“Let’s get this started…shall we?” Orochimaru asked him. Disappearing in an instant he was now seen behind the Uchiha. Sasuke had spotted his movement and countered it, forcing his katana against his opponent’s.
“If you want to beat me you have to be quicker than that” Sasuke told the sannin in an insulting tone of voice. A glare came across the Uchiha, from the sannin, his yellow snake like eyes, telling him that he was close to dying any minute or any time further.

Each time their swords had interfered which each other, sparks of Chakra would be seen coming from each one of them. Furious amounts of Chakra would been seen coming of each time.

Itachi and Kisame had already arrived back to base the minute when Sasuke had came to Orochimaru’s base, hoping to find the blossom. Sakura was still asleep, Itachi had placed her in another cell, in Akatsuki’s underground basement. Placing the girl gently on the cold stoned tiles he left her, closed the gates and walked the other direction.

Itachi had now returned back to his dorm, searching for most of his belongings he hoped that Zetsu hadn’t consumed most of his belongings.
“Let’s just see how strong Sasuke has gotten when I have the girl he desires…” A small chuckle came from the evil elder, as he smirked at the devilish thoughts that came to mind.

Several hours had passed. Sakura re-opened her emerald orbs, finding a place that she thought was familiar to her. “Doko?” she asked herself, trying to see through the darkness of the cell. Each end was overrun by darkness, the constant dripping of water she remembered had stopped. “Sasuke?” she tried to re-call the person that had carried her away. “Was it a dream?”

The sound of swords clanging together could have been heard in the surrounding woods around the snake sannin’s lair. Kabuto was there observing each move that had been made from the youngest sold survivor of the Uchiha clan against the Legendary Snake Sannin.
“Oh? What are you fighting for this time?” Orochimaru asked him, licking his lips in delight. “What made you stronger?”  Orochimaru continued his questions, all the questions had arrived and ranged in the Uchiha’s ears as he gave a slight smirk came to his lip.

“Sasuke?” she called out again. Only receiving a familiar figure walking down the hallway and eyeing her with his red crimson eyes. “Sasuke?” she called again. Itachi came closer to her watching her from the cell.  Itachi opened the cell and came closer to her. Grabbing her by the chin he made her look at him.
“Your close” he said, in his deadly monotone voice which scared the cherry. Kisame was now seen down the hallway with a torch in one hand and hovering it over for the cherry to have a closer look on who had captured her.
“U-chi-ha….Itachi?” she tried remembering their encounter some years ago when she and Naruto was assigned a mission to save Gaara, she had encountered him. “You’re Uchiha Itachi?” Her emerald eyes widen in shock. Being here was far worse than at Orochimaru’s lair. She was facing an S-ranked criminal from her village. A guy that had one time wiped out his whole clan without breaking a sweat. Itachi smirked as she recalled the hidden memories that had been concealed in her mind.
