another Chance

#22

"Orochimaru" sasuke hissed the name in a low voice, that reeked of danger and warning, this finally caught orochimaru's attention he glanced at sasuke, the young boy with raven hair and obsidian eyes standing at the entrance of his laboratory, a few tiny specks and drops of blood on his loose white top that did not properly covered his upper body leaving quite a view of his white pale chest, it was even deshelved as a result of the masscare he just did, his exposed neck where there should be the cursed mark was clean and white, there was no curse mark, this made orochimaru's expressions dull, he narrowed his eyes as he asked "what happened to the curse mark?", The tone of his voice was anything but good, hearing his not so good tone made sasuke's blood boil, the thirst for violence was difficult to control, he knew this was the influence of the toxin or he would not have been this violent and messy, after all he liked to stay clean even if he was fighting, his fighting style was clean. Sasuke wanted to keep his urge for violence under control so he would not cause trouble for his brother, he had after all promised he would not harm and even protect the stupid village, it would not be good if he accidentally harmed someone in the village and his aniki got mad at him for not keeping his promise, by far he had managed to not be too brutal and indulge in the violence but this was still not enough, it was very obvious that there was something wrong with him, that curse mark somewhat acted like blocker and kept the toxin under control whenever it flared but now that his aniki had gotten rid of that cursed mark for him it was a little difficult to control, this was not even th peak of the toxin's flare up but it was gradually increasing....it was the same condition as those 'failed attempts'....he gared at orochimaru who paused as he notice the faint violet markings appearing on sasuke's delicate face, he recognised these markings, it was one of the two obvious symptoms of the flare up his toxin that he had made a long time ago when he discovered the kekkei genkai of Jūgo's clan.
The kekkei genkai of Jūgo's clan is an instinctual ability which allows its members to absorb and make use of natural energy without any training in senjutsu.
Due to the steady but constant intake of natural energy, they are prone to mental instability, sporadically feeling sudden and uncontrollable urges to kill. The wielder's body can also secrete special fluids which, through means of Senjutsu chakra, allow them to transform parts of their bodies, this was also the basis of the curse mark he had given to sasuke and all of his ongoing experiments at the moment, he was surprised as to how sasuke had ingested this toxin as no one else other than him and the ones in this hidden base including sasuke knew about it...it can't be that sasuke had taken the toxin willingly....but who could vet their hands on his research....but at this moment what was important was not the culprit but ..... he kept his eyes on sasuke and readied himself for a possible fight....he licked his lips as he saw sasuke gripping his Katana "this is going to be fun" he chuckled....
Sasuke finally decided to let loose for now as he saw orochimaru licking his lips, he felt disgusted when he saw the amusement and intrest on orochimaru's face  'I must not kill him....he knows where they are.....jūgo must know how to control this.... I need his help...' he thought as he made his first move his concious going black as he let the violent instincts take over him....

When sasuke opened his eyes he found himself on a couch....he recognised this place....it was the lounge room of the hideout....but how did he get here? Where's orochimaru? How much time has passed by now? " Oh he's finally awake" sasuke heard a familiar voice but his head was still heavy with the after effects of the toxin's flare, it took him a moment to adjust hos blurry vision, what came into his view was Jūgo looking at him, his body was tense and he seemed more cautious and careful, next to him were suigetsu and karin also looking at him with wary glances " I went berserk.... I'm fine now.... where's orochimaru?" He asked after telling them he was okay. As soon as they heard the question Jūgo and karin looked at him funny and suigetsu grinned "you killed him....quite brutally...." he answered, his grin and easy look never reached his eyes, his eyes seemed cautious looking for any sign of danger.... hearing this answer Sasuke suddenly jumped to his feet and rushed to the main lab....the scene was quite bloody and cruel....the damage showed how dangerous the fight against the sanin was.....ignoring the discomfort of his body sasuke tried to search for any clue that pointed to the sanin's escape but much to his disappointment everything indicated that he had not escaped, the discomfort in his left eye clearly pointed the fact that he must have used his rinnegan and that must be the why orochimaru couldn't escape, sasuke kicked the broken equipment near his feet to vent his frustration and made up his mind to search through all the documents to get any clue he could...."turn this whole place upside down if you have to, I want the information regarding his other hideouts and about the deal between him and danzo.... I know this snake must have what it want..." he said to the three who had been standing at the door of the laboratory for a while now watching him turning the whole laboratory upside down as if searching for something....which he was.... hearing his cold  and gloomy tone and remembering how the three had spent the past 4 hours surviving a berserk sasuke the protests died inside their mouth as they started the task given to them. Suigetsu glanced at Jūgo thinking how lucky they were that the only 'sucessful one' was here and still wasn't sent to that prison....
