"Come in," Orochimaru says as I knock on his door. As I enter the room I see him sitting at a desk, and he reminded me of a principal. He's looking at some sort of map, but then turns his gaze to me. "What is it Madevila?"

"The curse mark," I tell him.

His eyebrow raises, "What about it?"

"After my fight with Sasuke, I realize that I'll need it in order to become as strong as I can," I inform him. This isn't something I'm deciding on a whim, this idea has been well thought out, and I'm prepared. It's also necessary to test my new jutsu...

"I understand. My plan was to give you one within the next month, but we can speed that up."

"Perfect."

"Your willingness has been suspicious Madevila, but you and I know there's only one way you get out of this mess."

"Yes M'lord."

With that, Orochimaru gets out of his chair and leaves the room. His arm waves, motioning me to follow him. The man leads me to his lab, and tells me to sit on the table.

"There's really nothing special to it," he tells me. I move the hair off of my shoulder and wait for him to bite it. Orochimaru's head stretches out and a pain is sent throughout my entire body. I let out a yell and immediately grab my shoulder. "I know you'll survive Madevila. There's no one else in the world with a will as strong as yours. Not even Sasuke."

"I know, M'lord. That's why I asked for it," I respond. Even calling him 'M'lord' makes me want to vomit. The world around me gets dizzy and I end up passing out on the table.

I wake up back in my room. This time there's no one there, and I just sit up. I figured Orochimaru would be here, just in case I were dead, but waking up alone makes sense too.

Picking up a towel, I leave the room and head for the showers. Once there, I turn the water on and strip down. The curse mark still hurts, like a bad blister, but it's nothing too bad. The stinging sensation is sort of relaxing, it makes me remember that I am in fact still human.

After my shower, I brush out my hair and get myself dressed. A new tank top was left next to me when I woke up, so I swapped them out. The sweatpants are a little bloody, and I wish for a new pair. Once my chest is wrapped and I'm fully dressed, I head back out to my room.

I remind myself on my way that I need to talk to Sasuke. The thing I needed from Orochimaru was now done, but I need more information on it before Sasuke decides to kill him.

Sasuke lays in his room. Maybe I should have knocked before I opened the door, but it doesn't really matter. He lays on his bed and touches two fingers to his forehead. An odd thing to do, but I don't question it.

"We need to talk," I tell him and enter his room.

Sasuke sits up and looks at me. "Yes, we do."

I make my way over to him and sit down across from him, making sure to shut the door as I came in.

"What is it that you're thinking?" I ask Sasuke.

"About earlier," he replies.

"Me too."

"And what do you think?"

"Your plan to kill Orochimaru can commence, just give me at least a week."

"What?"

"You want him dead, as do I. Just let me learn more about the curse mark and I'll be fine."

"Madi that's not-"

"Try anything before the end of this week, and I'll kill you myself."

Sasuke sighs and looks down. He seems like he wants to say something else, but we just sit in silence. The thought seems to exit his head, but then another look of concentration appears on his face.

Sasuke decides to speak again, "What do you plan on doing once you're out of here?"

"That's none of your concern."

"I'd like you to join me. You're strong and would be necessary in the hunt for my brother."

"Find someone else."

"Are you returning to the Leaf?"

"No."

"Why? Everyone you love is there."

"I love Naruto only. I have things to do though, so I will not be joining you and I will not be going back to the village."

"You have to go back."

"Absolutely not."

"Then you're doing the same thing I did."

"My goals aren't selfish desires."

A silence blooms between us. Sasuke seems to be surprised by my statement, but then turns angry.

"You can't just leave your village Madi," he says with an aggressive tone.

"Yes I can, and I will. The village was never mine. Keep in mind this is the same village that tormented me for years. Left Naruto and I alone for our entire lives. The village that pushed me to hate myself and everyone around me. I should have left sooner."

I don't let Sasuke respond. Instead I get up and exit his room, headed for my own. If I said anymore I could have ended up giving away my plans, and that would have been extremely bad.

----

At the end of the week, I've learned a lot about the curse mark. Sasuke told me to leave last night, and so I did. It really wasn't that hard, as Orochimaru had just begun to trust me. I have faith that Sasuke will follow through with what he had planned, my only regret is that I couldn't stay to kill Kabuto.

After a night of traveling, I make my way to the main parts of The Village Hidden in The Mist. This is where the hideout we'd been transported to was, and we haven't left since. My plan has finally begun, and my research should have paid off.

The way of the Shinobi is a corrupt way of thinking. The Third Hokage was the person who was closest to making that realization, but he was old and too soft. The strong shouldn't be able to get away with whatever they please, just because no one will dare to stop them. The evil will always get away with things as long as someone who poses a bigger threat is being targeted. Naruto's dream is to become Hokage, but it isn't to instill change. He's too naive to see the corruption of this world.

My job is to bring light to this dark world. There's nothing and no one to stop me. I've mastered the ability of the curse mark, and I've worked with the chakra of the Nine Tails. Someone needs to correct our society, and I know there are other people out there who think like me. My goal is to find them, and force the world into a new way of function. Until then, I'll destroy everyone who feels they have the right to rule, the right to destroy, the right to inflict fear, and the right to take whatever they please. The way of the Shinobi will change, whether it wants to or not.
