Okay, I'm kind of suck on my other story, so for now I'm going to write this one... If I have multiple stories to work on, I usually write more on both quicker than I would if I only had one story. If you are enjoying my other story, I'm sorry about the delay, and I hope you like this one. I haven't decided exactly where this one will go, but I do know that you will know a secret in it very early on. evil smile Also, at least in the beginning, once Sasuke learns the news, you will see a very vulnerable Uchiha.
Well, for now enjoy, and I will update as often as possible.
Sasuke wasn't stupid. He knew that Orochimaru was strong, and could teach him much, but he also knew that the snake-master wasn't as strong as Itachi. But, Sasuke also knew that he would be able to take the things he learned from Orochimaru to the next level, and achieve the ability that he sought after; the ability to kill his older brother.
The three years that Orochimaru had to wait before taking Sasuke's body passed, but Sasuke refused to give up just yet. He told the snake-commander that he wanted to kill his brother first, that he wanted to see the look on Itachi's face as he died by the hands of his younger sibling. Sasuke said that after that, Orochimaru could have anything that he wanted. Sasuke lied.
Orochimaru watched from the sidelines, a year later, as Sasuke thrust his chidori through the older Uchiha and the snake that was holding him. In just as flawless of a motion, Sasuke swung around and attacked the snake-man. Unprepared for an attack, Orochimaru died without a way to escape. Kabuto was an easy victim after that, as were what remained of the Sound Village.
Even then, Sasuke didn't return to Konoha immediately; it took him a full year before he managed to make it that far, and even then, he wasn't sure he was ready for what awaited him.
