~Sasuke's P.O.V.~ 

"...Sakura...and Naruto... Those names don't sound familiar to me." Akina says while looking at Sakura and Naruto. She doesn't remember who they are. It's been 2 years since we left the village, and they came all this way to bring us both back to the village. 

But Akina can't remember neither of them. It's probably because of her form that she has taken. Her hair is purple and it's practically touching the floor. Her horns have turn black, and her mark has spread all over her body, as if it were a curse mark. 

Akina has no memory of the Leaf or the team. Especially Naruto. Her former 'Darling'.

"Akina... What's happened to you!? Why can't you remember us!? What has Orochimaru done to you?!" Sakura yells at her. Akina says nothing has she emotionlessly stares down at the new Team Kakashi. 

~Akina's P.O.V.~ 

Sakura... And Naruto... Who are they? Why have they come to take me and Sasuke to the Leaf Village? 

My eyes are focused on the blonde boy. "You want to take me back to the Leaf Village? That's why you came all this way?" I question the team. "You want to imprison me again?" 

"No! It's not like that, Akina! We have to talk things out!" The blonde boy shouts up to me. "It's not going to be like!" 

"Naruto..." That name is stuck in my head. His voice... "Weren't you the one who called me a monster?" 

The boy grits his teeth together and tightens his hands into fists as he looks down at the ground. That's right. He was the one who called me that. 

"It was you." I'm not in front of Naruto, where my lips are touching his ear. "You called me a monster. Thanks to you, I am living up to my title. Isn't that what I've always been to you? To everyone in that Village?" My voice grows dark at the end of my sentence. "Your chakra... Not too long ago, I had an encounter with a tailed beast. The 9 tails. Your are its host. I can feel it coursing through my veins..." I gently rub the side of my head against his cheek. "The 9 tails and your chakra... I want it all." 

I feel his eyes widen at my words. 

"It's time to finish what I started!" I quickly pull away and grab the boy by the throat, then lifting him in the air. He grunts and holds my wrist, trying to get me to let go of him. 

I widely smirk as I begin to absorb his chakra. Sai is quick to run over to me, attempting to stop me. I use my other hand, the one that holds the sword, and point it at him. He stops when the blade is close to his face. 

I don't say any words to him as my smirk widens. This is starting to become fun. I don't remember the las time I felt this much thrill! "Just wait your turn. You're next." I smirk at Sai and I see the jounin performing a hand sign. 

Wood comes out of his palm and comes at me, ready to grab me, until Sasuke intervenes. "Chidori Stream!" He hops down from his spot and shoots Chidori through his body, and aims at Sai and the Wood Style user. 

While those two are out of the way, I continue to feed on the chakra that the boy, Naruto, has. I can feel it. The 9 tails chakra. It's flowing through my veins. 

I remember this feeling. I remember this chakra. I've taken the 9 tails chakra before. That's why I had a connection with it. This has happened before. "Your chakra..." I widely smirk at Naruto as my eyes widen. "Is worth taking!" I laugh. With the 9 tails chakra, I'll become even more powerful! 

"You let him go!" I hear the girl, Sakura, yelling as she runs at me with chakra coming out of her fist. 

Using my free hand, that holds the sword, I swing my sword across to slice the girl in half. But the Wood Style User gets in front of her as Sasuke gets in front of me. His blade hits his shoulder and pins him to one of the broken down walls. 

I look back at Naruto who is struggling against my hold. "It won't be long now~" I giggle at him. But my smile drops, and my eyes slightly widen when I see his face. 

The whiskers on his face have darken and his eyes are a different color. The same color as the 9 tails. Not only that, but his nails have grown sharper. 

I gasp when the chakra begins to burn, causing me to drop Naruto to the ground. Not again! Why is it burning? My chest is burning because of the 9 tails chakra. Why now? 

'It's rage.' I think of the solution. It's just like earlier. But the burning in my chest won't stop. I've let go of the boy. Why is his and the 9 tails chakra still in contact? 

Naruto grunts as stands up from the ground. The whiskers on his face has gone to normal and his eyes are back to blue. And his nails are back to normal, too. Also...the chakra had stopped burning my chest. 

It's so strange. I came into contact with boy and the 9 tail's chakra, and the chakra didn't begin to burn. But, when the boy's form had changed, the 9 tail's chakra began to burn. It doesn't make any sense. 

I look down at my hand to see burn marks all over it, but it's starting to heal. I've never gotten injured because of chakra before. Is this because of the 9 tails? 

"Now! Wood Style: Dome Wall Jutsu!" The jounin clamps his hands together. At the same time, wood came out of his shoulder, which caused my sword to push out of his, as a wood dome wall rose up from the ground, surrounding me. 

Quickly, Sasuke jumps over to me, grabs my waist, and jumps to the cliff. He lets go of me and I glare down at the team. I look back at left hand and see that my hand has finally healed. 

"Akina." I look at Naruto who had called to me. "Why are you... Why can't you understand?! Orochimaru is using you! He'll take Sasuke's body and throw you aside like trash! He's only using you so you can protect him! Why can't you see that!?" He shouts. 

"I know that..." I say in a low tone. "If Orochimaru does decide to throw me away, then it happens. As long as I can do what I want, that's all that matters to me. A human like you can never understand my reason." 

"I do understand, Akina! I've been there! I know what it's like-" 

"Then let me ask you something." I calmly say, cutting him off. "Do you know what's like to be locked away in a dark place all alone? Do you know how it feels to have your wings clipped countless times? Do you know what it's like to be treated...like a monster?" 

Naruto glares and looks down at the ground, speechless. 

"As I thought. You know nothing. I'm living up to my title and acting like the monster I've been called and am numerous times. I remember... That day... That day when you called me a monster... That was the breaking point. It's all your fault." 

Naruto's eyes widen as the Wood Style user stands. "Captain Yamato," Sakura looks at him. 

"What are you doing?" Naruto asks him. 

"They are rogue ninjas. We cannot allow them to go about freely. We are to bring them back to the Leaf Village. By force if we have to." The Wood Style user, Captain Yamato, speaks as he stands up. 

"The Leaf Village." I look at Yamato. "You really do want to chain me down, just like you did before. The Leaf Village is still the same. Both the village and the leaf shinobi." I close my eyes. "Sasuke," 

Sasuke looks at me. 

"You can get rid of them now." 

Sasuke nods and drops his katana, and performs a quick hand sign. As he raises his right hand, Orochimaru appears out of nowhere and grabs Sasuke's wrist. "Akina." He glares at me. "I wouldn't provoke Sasuke in using that jutsu. You know that. Be smart, now." 

"Let go." Sasuke orders Orochimaru. 

"Now, now." Kabuto appears. "I told you before. Watch your tone with Lord Orochimaru. And you, Akina," Kabuto looks at me. 

"Don't you think you're taking things a bit too far?" Ritsu appears behind me. Where has he been this whole time? 

"He's right. You should be more careful." Orochimaru adds. It took me a while to answer Orochimaru, as I was glaring at him. I close my eyes and turn my head away, and say, 

"I guess I got a little carried away. Can we go now? I've taken enough chakra... I'm full."  

"Ritsu?!" Sakura glares at him. "You've been with Orochimaru this whole time!? You betrayed us too!?" 

"Tch." Ritsu scoffs at her and turn to Sasuke. "The Akatsuki is on the move. You want the leaf village to get rid of them for you, right? So you can have your precious revenge?" 

Sasuke glare at him. 

"Stop fooling around with them and focus on your main priority. It's about time we go. Right, Orochimaru?" Ritsu looks at Orochimaru, who nods his head. With that said, the 5 of us leave the hideout.
