Saviors from Whirlpool

As Hayabusa had stepped out of his recent discovery, the Akatsuki Memorial cave, he had looked up into the red sky. The sun was peaking around the horizon. His Sharingan had stayed active, and he could see a great volume of lingering chakra that had been here… as if it was recent. He prepared to jump up to the cliff side as he exerted chakra to his feet to stay afloat on the water. However, his jump was interrupted by one being coming down from the Cliffside. Hayabusa had readied his Nythyia puppet, crouching low for any sudden movements.
The white haired man in front of him had an ANBU mask on, and was from Konoha. Hayabusa had smirked, as he had finally been found. Hayabusa had lifted his arm, as he activated the body and it floated high above him. That was until thirty more people had come down and surround Hayabusa. He widened his eyes. One of the people stood by the original one. A womanly figure. Hitomi? Hayabusa had lifted his fingers up readying to use Hiraishin, but the woman shot a wire at his wrist… some type of chakra wire that cut off chakra circulation.
“Shit…” Hayabusa said as the others had jumped in the air, preparing to come down on him. “Should have had back up….” He said to himself as he watched his quick capture come forth. Or so he thought. In an instant, he felt a tug on his body, and he had been looking up to the sun. He was now somewhere else… a forest of some type. He looked around. His puppet was missing.
“NYTHYIA!” he yelled, biting his lip and performing hand seals, slamming his hand to the ground and summoning the puppet. He picked it up and smirked. “Now…. What the hell just happened?” he asked himself. He looked around. There was something eerie about this place. His senses sparked as he felt someone close to him… or something. Hayabusa turned and extended his arm, and from under it, white snakes had came from under his arm, wrapped around and attempted to grab whatever it was. But he then realized, it was another snake… black. Hayabusa looked at this red streaked Cobra. It wrapped around all of the snakes and squeezed, crushing in a matter of seconds.
“What the hell…” he said, before his head cocked to the side. His inner body began to change, again, as he heard the voice of Orochimaru in his head once again. ‘MY SNAKES BEING DESTROYED SO QUICKLY!? IMPOSSIBLE!’ it said. Hayabusa yelled back in his head. ‘My snakes…’ ‘SHUT UP YOU INSOLENT LITTLE BRAT!’ Orochimaru continued. He then heard his own heartbeat, as his Sharingan eyes reverted and had become yellow and snake like. He was no long… himself.
“Heh heh heh…” he said in a somewhat deeper and snake like voice. “Snake versus snake…” he said to the snake. The Python stood high like a strong serpent, facing Hayabusa right in the eyes… or more like Orochimaru’s eyes.
“You have got that wrong, White Snake…” he said. “Snakesssssss” he said, prolonging the s with a slivering snake like tongue. Hayabusa looked around now to see the different lengths of black and red Cobra’s and Black and blue Pythons. They surrounded Hayabusa… Orochimaru.
“Hmph…” Hayabusa in Orchimaru state fell flat on his back and molded his body into nothingness, as it slivered away, running away from the other snakes. They did not hesitate on chasing him, as all 6 of them of all sizes chased him. They all slivered, moving side to side and tree to tree. Hayabusa in Orochimaru state had been fast than four of them, but the other two had kept up with him, one Cobra and one Python. He could see in the distance that there were no trees what so ever. HE pushed his speed a little faster and had come to skid across water. He got in some ways and looked at the others.
“Hmph…” he said, cocky and arrogant. The snakes stopped and looked at him. Hayabusa had began to turn around, before the water below him began to erupt. There was a overly large Python, Hayabusa being the size of the snake’s eyes, and attempted to take Hayabusa in from below. Hayabusa in Orochimaru form jumped back, and began to run, until he could see the two snakes that were chasing him had mounted on the surface of the water.
“More snakes that use chakra? The Snakes of Shadows… hidden ancient snakes… show themselves now for what?” Orochimaru in Hayabusa’s body asked. He turned, readying to leave, until the before him, a larger Cobra had stared him down. It’s eyes were red and hot, as it stared into Orochimaru’s cold, yellow eyes. It opened its mouth and began to strike, before being hit by the other snake, the Python, smacking it with his tail. Hayabusa… or Orochimaru, took this chance to run as fast as he can.
“He is Orochimaru in Hayabusa’s body, but it is still Hayabusa, none the less. We cannot harm his body…” The Python said.
“Thissssss blowsssss…” the Cobra hissed. Hayabusa did not hear this conversation, but he continued to run, without looking back. After he was in the clear, off of the water, and huffing and puffing and held his back against the tree. He coughed.
“This body… I have to fully take control of it… but I am still too weak. A few more jutsu and he will be MINE. OROCHIMARU WILL ONCE AGAIN BE ALIVE!” he yelled, as he began to laugh. He then gritted his teeth and gripped his head. He breathed heavy before standing straight up, revealing the Sharingan.
“So that’s how you do it…” Hayabusa said. He had taken control back, but waited it out. “The more I rely on you, the more control you get. Well then… I don’t know what to do about that… have to study some way to counteract this from happening…” Hayabusa said. He looked back at the snakes. “So… Snakes of Shadows? Interesting…” Hayabusa had stepped out of his way and began to work back out into the water. The chase was over.
The snakes, all eight of them, caught up to Hayabusa and surrounded him. He simply looked at the lot of them, mainly amazed by the big ones… the Python especially. They simply stared him down for a moment, confused as to why the man stop running. Just then, Hayabusa bowed lightly to them.
“Uchiha Lydeck Hayabusa…” he said, in greeting towards them. “Might I ask you few where I am, how did I get here, and who you are?” he said in the most polite voice he could think to do so in.
“Hssss….” The big Cobra hissed, saying nothing. He could tell this one had lust for battle. The Python looked at Hayabusa.
“You are in Mount Kage Hebi. We summoned you here… We are of the ancient Hebikage clan. Here we have Kweti, Nisha, Naxa, Newa, Palenax, Kwetash…” he said pointing his tail from the smaller ones to a more regular sized one, to the overly sized ones, then to himself “I am Nishash, and this is…” he said, pointing to the Cobra “Xash… you are destined to be the next of our clan, an honorary member. The Black Snake of Shadows. However, your body is being consumed by the White Snake… the honorary member of the White Snake clan. They thought us to be in hiding, however, we were waiting on you before we began to make our appearance.”
“Granted…” he continued. “That you will keep the powers of the White Snake, our clan must balance out the snake usage in which comes of is. Without the white snakes, you can’t use such spectacular jutsu. That is one thing they excelled at... assisting Orochimaru with such jutsu. However, during are hide in the shadows, we have studied the use of the jutsu. We can counteract the take over. However… you will develop your own dark side. You may not be able to handle it completely, and sometimes, during adversity, you will be overwhelmed by it. But, you will still be you and not Orochimaru. Just… Bi-polar.”
“Hmmm…” Hayabusa had begun to like what he was hearing. “Ok… this is interesting… even the drawbacks are a turn on. I accept this honor and this assistance.” He said.
“Excellent. Well… we hope we did not summon you at such a bad time.”
“Heh… you don’t know the half of it…” Hayabusa said, chuckling a little bit. “Ok… well… where do we go from here?” he asked.
“We will display power to you… it is required before you make it to our blood contract… so…” he looked at the two smaller snakes. They were all of the same fashion… the black and red Cobra, and the Black and blue pythons. Hayabusa nodded. They began to sliver away, and the rest moved aside, as Hayabusa followed the two.
They made it back on land and Hayabusa had observed their lower amount of chakra. The Python was only about 3 feet long, and the Cobra was probably about a foot and a half.
“So…” Hayabusa said. The two looked at each other. Hayabusa waited, and almost suddenly, the Python jumps at Hayabusa and cuffs his legs together by wrapping around them. Hayabusa fell to the ground and the Cobra slithered up and bit him. The Python let go and Hayabusa attempted to move, but he couldn’t. After a moment, Hayabusa looked at the two when he could move.
“I assume your bite paralyzes. Lovely… what else…” he said as he began to heal his bite. The two looked at a tree and opened their mouths. The Python shot a small stream of water, and the Cobra shot a small stream of fire, that did quite some damage to the trees. The two looked at him as if to wait for his approval. Hayabusa nodded. “I can work well with you two…” he said. The two slithered away. He didn’t know whether to follow or not, but he assumed not to, for another two had come and slithered in front of him.
The Python was much bigger… a normal sized Python at about fifteen feet long. The other was more or less about seven feet long. He knew he had to be the one to take the damage… so he looked on at them, waiting so he could endure the attacks that were about to be bestowed upon him. The two somehow flung themselves in the air and rotated, whiplashing their tails at Hayabusa. The force of both of them was so strong it cut him and he was pushed back. He hit the tree and recoiled. The Python opened his mouth and spewed water from it, similar to Hayabusa’s water basin technique. Hayabusa exerted chakra in order to stay afloat. He jumped and constricted Hayabusa, tight enough to cut off circulation of chakra to his feet. He fell straight in the water as the snake choked him.
When he got the just of it, the snake let go and let Hayabusa float back to the top. The water died down and went back into the ground. He coughed the water up and looked at the Cobra. He waited for her other two jutsu. She opened her mouth and a stream of fire had vortexed around Hayabusa, trapping him in excruciating heat. They closed in on Hayabusa and burned him with hardly any way out. Hayabusa had fell, before pushing himself up from the burning. He waited as he pondered on what the following jutsu could be. This was only number four out of eight… Hayabusa was not sure if he could handle all of it, but if it meant he could have himself from Orochimaru, and use their power, then he would have to be something he would have to deal with. So he would have to endure it all.
When Hayabusa finally stood up, the Cobra bit him almost immediately. Then, saddening, the area around him disoriented. At first he thought his was poisoned, as the pain surged through his body. Eventually, Hayabusa had began to focus on the bite, and seen nothing but blood. Poison doesn’t work this fast. He attempted to stabilize his chakra and focus it to his hand, as he made one seal.
“Kai!” he yelled, and the pain released. He did not know how he knew it was a Genjutsu, but he successfully dispelled it. He looked at the two and bowed, as they slivered away. ‘Ok… the first two… Kweti and Nisha have two jutsu each, and Naxa and Newa have three. Not hard to remember.’ Hayabusa thought to himself as the other two came. Now these two were oversized… the Python was about 50 feet long, and pretty thick, and the Cobra was about twenty five feet. He was fascinated by how fast and gracefully they moved. Hayabusa looked at them.
“Palenax and Kwetash, right?” Hayabusa asked. They nodded. “Ok… do the damage…” he said, waiting. The Cobra moved first this time, wrapping around Hayabusa. The only difference between what she did and the previous binders is that her body turned into hot flames, burning him as it constricted. He looked at Palenax who had also spit out a water basin, after it swallowed from the water. Hayabusa thought this would be great, but when it was spit, it hurt at a high water pressure. Right after he swallowed the basin and Hayabusa with it.
While in the mouth he had begun to feel drowsy, before he realize he was being swallowed and in the water, he had began to go through the digestive system. However, out side of his own body he could see himself being spit outside of the mouth of the Python. His Sharingan had been put to work, as he realize when he was put in the mouth a Genjutsu was cast on him. He began to drown in the basin, but he surfaced himself, right before Palenax went underwater and began swimming circles around Hayabusa at high speeds. He developed a whirlpool full of chakra that pulled Hayabusa in and flung him across the underwater ground.
When Hayabusa resurfaced he looked at the Python, that bit itself, slicing off half of himself. Hayabusa thought he was crazy at first, until he seen that the snake had began to regenerate, as did the Cobra. That may be a skill both of them knew. It seemed as though Palenax was finished and it was Kwetash’s turn. Hayabusa watched it slither circles around Hayabusa, making a flame tornado that could either hurt or protect Hayabusa. When it vanished moments later, Hayabusa looked around. He could not sense or see her anywhere. He could not even trace her chakra. But almost right in his peripheral, she came up and struck him, biting him in the arm. He had began to feel pain, before he felt relief in all wounds and burns. Her bite was healing him… he felt he would see a lot of her.
She hopped down, bowed her head, as did Palenax, and slithered away. He smirked. He looked to the left and the other two didn’t move. He figured he would have to go to them. He walked out into the ocean as he exerted chakra at his feet. He walked slowly to them, before he watched as the overly large 200 foot long Python dove under water and out of sight. Hayabusa watched the other, that opened her mouth and formed a purple mist around them. Not only did this cloud his vision, but he had breathed it in and felt that it was poisoness. He coughed up a little blood as he looked back up. That was before he felt the water beneath him pull him in, as Nishash had swallowed him whole.
After a moment Hayabusa had been spit back out in a water basin so destructive, if Hayabusa wasn’t on his game, and already in the water, it could have broken his body. Immediately after wards, he roared and multiple shards of Ice came out, shooting towards Hayabusa. So far he had seen three jutsu, but he seem to have stopped. He looked at Xash, whom stopped as well, sucking back all of the mist. The two looked at each other.
“We have been told that this was enough… the rest you must witness in battle before you can meet our elders.” He said.
“You have been told?” Hayabusa asked.
“Yessssss…” Xash said. “We can telekinetically communicate. Once you become one of the Shadow Sage of the Black Snakes, you can do the same.” She said. Hayabusa smiled.
“Now… you must travel through the forest of the Hawks as stealthy as you can. They protect the Snake’s Black Poison. You must touch it in order to be enlightened with the power of Sage mode.” Palenax said. Hayabusa nodded. The two then broke down into multiple masses of their own selves, dripping into the water being as small as baby snakes. Hayabusa looked behind him back to the edge of that forest. He smirked, as he turned and walked to the edge of the forest. He attempted to observe the sky, but the further he walked, the further away the sky seemed to get from him. Eventually, his legs webbed together. A mile into the forest, Hayabusa’s body had turned into a body of a snake. But his Sharingan stayed entact.
‘Absorb the chakra of Nature around you to stay your normal self…’ a man’s voice said inside his head. Hayabusa had stayed where he was, closing his eyes. He attempted to feel the chakra in the ground and the nearby trees. He opened and he could see chakra in the air, as a different color than regular chakra. Was this always in the air? He absorbed some in his body and he looked down. He had become himself again. He looked up. He began to see the Hawks patrolling the sky. He had began to make a run for it, but soon, after a good half a mile run, weaving in and out of trees and making it away from the Hawks, he had become sluggish and began to slow down again. Hayabusa had gathered Nature Chakra, or he would have been a snake and overly easy to spot by the Hawks above. But as a Human, they were looking for something that walked in a straight line, but something that slithered side to side. Therefore he was in the goods if he had continued to work in a stop, gather, go, stop, gather, go fashion. After a good ten miles of flawless mobility, Hayabusa had made it to a small fountain architecturally designed with snake stone. The black liquid looked at it. He quickly shoved his hand into it before he felt his power emerge into something different.
“Whoa…” he said. ‘You fool…’ the voice of Orochimaru said in his head. ‘You have DOOMED ME!’ ‘Pipe down… instead of becoming your tool, you will be mine…’ Hayabusa argued in his own head, just with some type of evil sense. Hayabusa could already feel the bipolorness of his being, but he didn’t mind at all. When he turned, all the snakes were there looking at him.
“Now… search out the scroll holder of the snakes, and immediately put your blood on the contract. The boy’s name is…”
“Uchiha Kurix…” Hayabusa said.
“Yes…” Palenax said. “How did you know?” he asked.
“He’s my student… and my cousin.”
“What a coincidence…” Palenax said. “Well… now you return to where you were.”
“WAIT!” Hayabusa said. “Can’t you send me somewhere else?” Hayabusa asked. He didn’t want to be back in the middle of a raid.
“Sorry…” Xash said. “We cannot…” she said.
“Good luck Hayabusa…” he said, as again, Hayabusa felt a tugging on his body that he was all too familiar with. He had went from a sunny climate to the dawn of another once again, where he was before he had been summoned by the snakes. He had immediately exerted chakra into his feet, staying afloat on the water. He looked around. The crowd was not there anymore. He had been gone for a good four hours… maybe the lot figure that he was not there in Whirlpool anymore and left. He had jumped up on top of the cliff from the water and had began to walk, until h seen a figure with the ANBU mask on. But, there was only one. He had white hair.
“Do not be alarmed… Lydeck Uchiha Hayabusa…” he said. The voice was familiar. Hayabsua didn’t know whether to be alert or not. The man had taken off h is mask and revealed his eyes to e Byakugan… that of a Hyuuga… these set of eyes being specifically of ANBU recruiter Hyuuga Brad Wong of Konoha…
