Sasuke's Revolution

Chapter 8-Lost Otsutsuki

The crab launched out from beneath the cave's surface and spring its giant claw towards them all in an attempt to crash the entire group with the weight. They leaped away in different directions just in time from the capacity of the claw crushing into the ground's surface.

"Sasuke kun, the test subjects' bodies aren't prepared to fight yet!" Orochimaru shouted.

"You stay and guard them until they're ready. We'll take care of this." Sasuke replied urgently suddenly taking notice an the exit above them.

The crab sprayed thick blue liquid from its mouth and threw his claws at them to protect itself from paper bombs and weapons. Kakashi and Sasuke summoned their Susanoo to fight the giant creature head on holding and tossing it around. Ryo sprint forward with gentle fist to cut off the crab's pressure points. Fortunately or unfortunately he was able to block a few but suffered from rapidly hitting the hard exterior shell and luckily missed a claw snap. One side of the crab limped along the ground before held down by the clashing Susannos.

"Now Sakura!" Kakashi shouted to the kunoichi several feet above.

"Chhhhaaa!" Sakura came from the top and punched into its back spreading the damage all over its exoskeleton causing the creature tumble and bury into its own nest.

She jumped down to join the rest as they continued the long trail to the exit. While walking along side her team the memories came flooding back to Sakura's mind starting a pile of questions. Her sneaky look to Sasuke wasn't so clever since he immediately caught her making her turn her face away bashfully. Ryo's arm reached out bumping hers which she gladly took and smiled at him for comfort to take her away from all that just happened. Ryo held unto her hand to help her up from a lofty height upon reaching the exit.

"Where are we?" Sakura asked staring at the scenario before them.

They stood on a tiny cliff while an almost never ending ocean surrounded them. The blue sky acted like a mirror reflecting the mountains far on the horizon and a blinding sun implanted in. Sakura thought she was the only person in shock and confusion but after looking over at the others they shared the same reactions.

"How can there be a sun underground?" Ryo asked bringing everyone back from their wonder.

"It appears to be artificial." Orochimaru stated confidently.

"A man made sun? Is that even possible?" Ryo asked again unconvinced.

"After every insensible occurrence we've seen a unnatural astronomical body is the least of the problem." Sasuke stated to have everyone pull themselves together.

"Lets move." he announced activating his visual powers to host Orochimaru and the test bodies.

Kakashi followed carrying Sakura and Ryo in his across the body of water. The mountains and forested areas came into view after mere minutes. The artificial blue sky changed into shades of pink, red and orange mocking the real to signal dusk is approaching. Two blue and purple humanoid chakrah avatars flew above the thick forest.

"Anything Ryo?" Kakashi asked hopefully.

"No." he sighed scanning the area once again with his Kekkai Genkai.

Sasuke's entire body was stiffened with Orochimaru standing two feet behind him."Quiet isn't it Sasuke kun? If it is an artificially made world the enemy should sense we're here. So why aren't they attacking?" Orochimaru mentioned suspiciously.

"That's what bothers me." Sasuke said keeping his posture still and senses on high alert. Night fall eventually came so they decided to set up camp.
