Arc 1: Chapter 23
A ray of clarity shone through your rage fueled thoughts. Dosu was immortal, there was no way he'd simply pass out from a physical beating like this! Gathering inspiration from Kabuto, you dropped Dosu to the floor then stomped on his unprotected knee, feeling it crunch underneath your foot, the sound cracking and echoing throughout the room. Dosu's eyes snapped open as he let out a shriek of pain and clutched at his broken knee. You were about to break his other leg, but Dosu placed his palm on his chest and fired out a Decapitating Airwave, rocketing him away across the room and away from you!

"Using your own attack to escape, eh? How innovative! But it won't save you!" you shouted! You were about to continue your rampage, but something stopped you in your tracks. Laughter. Dosu was laughing. It wasn't some raspy chuckle, it was full blown laughter, the laughter of someone much too confident for his own good! "Why are you laughing, you worthless scum?!"

"It's prepared!" Dosu said, stifling his laughter. He reached down and ripped off the upper portion of his outfit, revealing his bare torso. You grimaced in disgust as you saw the left side of his chest throbbing, contorting its shape. You could hear his ribs slowly cracking apart and Dosu stood onto his feet, purposefully putting weight on his broken leg and making it snap even more!

"What the hell is this?!" you roared, rushing forward and landing a kick on Dosu's chest. He slid backwards until he hit the wall of the building. You were going to continue your attack, but then a sickening vibration ran through your body, pummeling you internally. You fell to one knee, spitting up blood. "What did you do?!"

"Honestly, I didn't want to do this, but...I gotta. Remember when Orochimaru gave me a reward? I asked for a custom made tool. Here it is, Kurama!" Dosu declared, thumping his pulsating chest as he stood once more."With the technology granted by the Sound, I made myself a new heart. Not like ripping out the old one would kill me anymore! This heart constantly absorbs sound that rings throughout my body. From my voice to the shattering of my bones, it absorbs it all. When it's full...well, you're gonna figure it out soon!"

Dosu ripped off his sound gauntlet, revealing in his other hand a tube in his palm, like the other one. He placed his hands together, palms outstretched and aimed at you. Dosu began vibrating violently, his artificial heart beating so hard that you could see its outline pushing against his chest!

This was bad, even with your immortality, you had absolutely no desire to get hit by something this powerful!

What will you do?

Critical Moment!

[] Fuck this, fight fire with fire, use Wrathful Fire Stream!

[] Get the hell out of here!

[] You won't let Dosu have his way! Attack him before he can use his jutsu!

[] Go Cursed Seal Level 2 and rip Dosu to pieces!

[] Write In.
 
@Megacookie Does activating CS2 actually interfere with attempts to burn Dosu or run away? Do we need to take a moment standing still to activate it or anything like that?

IDK, based on the responses, this plan might be a bit too fancy for a split-second decision point - but I do want to see the big-ish caliber spells clashing in a beam-o-war.

Worst case scenario, I'll take it as a lesson not to get fancy in situations like these.

Apologies for the delay, writer's block and life got in the way. Also shiny new quest but shhhhhh
---

Your seal spread over your entire body, transforming you into its demonic level two state as you slung together hand seals. You stared Dosu down, hatred and malice pouring out of you as you inhaled deeply. Right before the two of you used your jutsu, you saw fear in Dosu's eyes as he suddenly realized what he was facing.

"SOUND ENGINE ROAR!" Dosu screamed, unleashing a beam of compressed air, chakra, and sound right at you.

"WRATHFUL FIRE STREAM!" you shouted, exhaling a massive bolt of bright fire, tinged with dark energy at Dosu.

Right before the jutsu collided into each other, a massive gate with the face of a demon on it erupted under the ground, in between the two jutsu. Between Dosu and your jutsu, the poor gate was instantly turned into scrap, but most of the damage you two would have caused was contained.

Soon the dust settled, and Dosu looked just as confused as you did. You couldn't keep up the cursed seal form any longer and reverted back to normal as a cold voice began to speak. "What are you two doing?"

Turning your head, you saw Orochimaru, Kabuto right by his side. The Sannin looked rather furious, his eyebrows furrowed and a malicious glare in his eyes.

"Taking care of some loose ends," you answered, staring straight at Orochimaru.

"You do this the day before we launch the invasion on the Leaf? You waste you energy and chakra for a petty rivalry?" Orochimaru hissed. "Not to mention the building you ruined, it was full of research material..."

"You know who I am, Orochimaru. Destruction is always a guarantee when I'm in action." you said unflinchingly.

Orochimaru curled his hands into fists for a brief moment before releasing them. "I should just imprison you and keep you as research material, but...no. I will postpone your punishment until after the invasion. You are needed, after all."

Orochimaru seemed to have calmed himself down and looked at Kabuto, telling him to bring you to the hospital for treatment. Kabuto kept a straight face, but you could see the disgust in his eyes. Kabuto flicked his eyes towards Dosu and asked, "What about him, Lord Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru turned towards Dosu, looking at him for a moment before turning around and walking away. "He is unimportant. Leave him."

Before you could say anything, Kabuto made hand seals and you saw some feathers falling from the sky. You were confused, but then suddenly became drowsy. Within moments, you had passed out...

---

When you awoke, you found yourself on a hospital bed, all your injures having been healed and bandaged. Of course you were still sore but you could easily ignore that. You saw a clock on the wall, telling you it was only a few hours before sunrise. No doubt you will be pulled out of this room and begin the invasion of the Leaf.

You began to think. While you were going to enjoy carving a bloody path throughout the village that had imprisoned you for fifty years, Orochimaru's words rung in your head. After the invasion, he was going to punish you, implying another imprisonment. You wouldn't dare go through that hell once more, not after having the first taste of freedom in so long!

You had to decide what you wanted to do. You could try leaving the Sound after the invasion, but then you'd be on your own once again, now with two villages hunting you down. You could stay in the Sound, Orochimaru knows how important you are, any punishment would be rather minor in the grand scheme of things.

What will you do?

[] After the invasion, you will leave the Sound.

[] After the invasion, you will stay with the Sound.

[] Write In.

(Note, you cannot make any votes that make you avoid the invasion itself. Kurama is too hyped on that to ever think about missing it.)
 
[X] After the invasion, you will leave the Sound.

Just can't justify staying in-character, even if we do have more things to take from Orochimaru.

Yeah, he openly mused about just imprisoning us again and using us as research material. If that is already in his head then its time to bug out before he inevitably decides to go for it.
 
Arc 1: Chapter 25
Been awhile, eh? Sorry for the wait.

You knew you no longer had a place within the Sound. With the way you mulled it around in your head, it felt like it took almost a year to make a choice! You've gained what you reasonably could, your power has grown considerably. You will raze the Leaf with your hatred! Then you will go back to your original goal of finding a way to free yourself from this cursed human body! With your future firmly determined, you rested your head back onto the hospital pillow and tried to get as much rest as you could.

---

As you predicted, once morning came a few Sound shinobi entered your room, one of them telling you to get up and prepare for the invasion. Usually, you'd chew them out for daring to bother you, but you stayed silent. You were focused purely on the destruction of the Leaf. In the back of your mind, you vaguely remembered the request your vessel asked of you, to get answers from her father about her fate. You had no intention of following it through, but perhaps you might get lucky.

You followed the squad of shinobi as they quickly gave you everything you needed. New clothes, a tool pouch with fresh weaponry, and even a Sound headband that you simply slipped into your pocket. After you got ready, the squad led you to a man clothes in long robes that were trimmed with gray, and a large hat with cloth around the sides and back. The man wore a cloth mask that covered the lower portion of his face, only revealing dark eyes. Next to the man was Kabuto, who glared at you hatefully, his eyes still bloodshot from the 'prank' you had played on him.

"I hope you got plenty of rest after your playtime yesterday." the robed man said with malice. He was in disguise, but there was no doubt it was Orochimaru.

"There is nothing that would stop me from my revenge." you coldly said. "Not you, nor the gods themselves."

"If only more of my underlings had that attitude." Orochimaru mused. "Now, for a small refresher, you will stay with me until the invasion starts. Understood?"

"Very well." you bluntly answered. Orochimaru nodded and another nameless shinobi walked over and gave you a cloak that would hide your figure easily. You were also given a mask, similar to Orochimaru's and a pair of tinted glasses to hide your Byakugan. You quickly put the attire on and stood at attention, your eagerness for the slaughter that was about to ensue coming out in waves of killing intent. The lesser shinobi were terrified, while others merely kept their distance around from you.

You saw familiar people come and go, getting information from Orochimaru, such as the Sound Four and Kobura. You didn't say anything, almost in a trance. Eventually, Orochimaru spoke to you again. "Calm your urges, we are leaving to meet the squad of Leaf shinobi. You cannot reveal your true nature."

You barely responded, but did your best to calm yourself. Soon enough, you'll be able to destroy as much as you like...

---

Finally, you left with Orochimaru and a few other shinobi. Walking through one of the many winding tunnels of the Sound Village until you reached an entrance above ground. After that, you all travelled to a certain rendezvous point, the trunk of a rather large, but still unremarkable tree. It was there you saw some Leaf shinobi, none of them you've seen before. The first was a man with tanned skin with a trimmed beard, smoking a cigarette, and the second was a woman with long hair and striking red eyes that looked very similar to that damnable Sharingan! Besides those two were some shinobi who didn't register in your mind as important.

"So this is the mysterious leader of the Sound Village." the man spoke, snuffing out his cigarette and putting it in a small container.

"Asuma, don't be disrespectful!" the woman chatisted. "Apologies, I am Kurenai Yuhi and he is Asuma Sarutobi. We are to be your guides to the Leaf."

"Sarutobi? So you are the son of the Third Hokage then?" Orochimaru asked, his voice being modified with chakra.

"Yep. Surprised I was given this job, but I suppose Tezaki hasn't been around." Asuma shrugged. You perked up at that name. Tezaki was one of those men who tried to take you back to the Leaf on the orders of someone named Danzou. "Oh, I see you have a tagalong! Who are they?"

"She is my personal student. Unfortunately she could not participate within the exams, her team was killed on a mission and there wasn't time for a replacement. Thus as a compromise, I decided she will watch the finals with me." Orochimaru smoothly lied.

"I'm so sorry to hear that." Kurenai said sorrowfully.

"What's your name, kid?" Asuma asked, kneeling in front of you. Orochimaru flicked his eyes at you, giving you a cue to answer the man.

How will you answer?

[] State your name. Get this farce of an introduction over with.

[] Release your killing intent and tell Asuma to get out of your face. How dare he get so close to you!

[] Walk past Asuma and tell everyone to hurry up. Your urge for destruction was rising, you don't know how much longer you can hold back.

[] Strike Asuma and tell him to stay away unless he wishes to risk the consequences.

[] Write in.
