A Shinobi Awakens - Chapter 56 Eternal Torture

Drip. Drip. Drip. The sounds of a liquid hitting skulls was an interesting sound that permeates the entire area. Every breath was laboring, every thought was bleak as Orochimaru listened to the voice narrating his fate.

“Through Master’s eyes Warden watches on in great joy! Master has become powerful! Master has become a great Man! Warden will work twice as hard to assist Master in whatever he needs. Warden senses a modified Uchiha Bloodline in you, It seems Master has made the Genjutsu effect more prominent to live up to the name Saimin or Hypnosis. Once activated your eyes will be able to see through all deception with the exception of Master’s Zettigan or Lords Itachi and Shisui’s Timeless Sharingan.” Warden materialized in front of Orochimaru his Eyes Identical to Ichizo’s, The Zettigan displaying it’s dominance.

“Master is Absolute. Warden enforces his will, Master gives Warden toys, Warden breaks those toys to make them guards of Master’s Eternal Night.” The Skeletons began to put themselves together, Muscles, Blood vessels, Joints, Ligaments, Skin, Hair began to grown on the skeletons. Every enemy that died by Ichizo’s hand stood before Orochimaru, Their Eyes reflected different Dojutsu that peered into the eyes of Orochimaru.

“In this world Warden’s eyes see all, Eternal Night is a Genjutsu that not only affects the mind but the Physical body as well. In here Warden has control over your life and death.”

Warden waved his ethereal hand, with that motion like a Formation of well disciplined soldiers the Eternal Guards stepped forward and grabbed the limbs of Orochimaru before he had the opportunity to do anything in retaliation.

“Master says that you have earned a certain degree of his trust however, Warden is not convinced. Through Master has a great fear of betrayal and you are the cause of that fear so, Warden will beat Loyalty into you. Warden will make betrayal even Thoughts of it a taboo in your heart, if you ever decide to act upon it remember what these guards will do to you today. Warden will personally and actively make your life a hell that the Universe has never seen before.”

After Warden gave his speech the world shifted to the steel prison Orochimaru was placed at the bottom of the tower. Orochimaru looked around the red tinted steel room in confusion until once again Warden began to speak.

“Eternal Night takes your fears amplifies them then makes a physical embodiment of them, They are real and can kill you. Step by step Warden will peel the layers of your psyche, slowly, methodically, Warden will reinforce the loyalty to Master you have within you. Warden will also trigger the Saimin bloodline within you, Now Guards you may begin!”

Danzo appeared this shocked Orochimaru to the core, it’s been 6 years since he has heard anything from Danzo now he stands a few feet away for him. A partner in crime, That Crime lead to his death but, not even in death will he rest. This is the terror of Eternal Night, the dead will forever roam the halls of the prison heeding the orders of Warden, terrorizing all unfortunate souls that find themselves within it’s walls.

“What caused your thirst for immortality? Was it your own fleeting mortality in this chaotic ninja world? Was it your thirst for Knowledge? Power? In the past the mere thought of immortality was nothing more than humans fearing death. Master has made it possible yet you still harbor apprehensions to swear your unwavering loyalty and devotion to his greatness. Yet a good leader does not forcefully impose his will so Warden will be that tool, The tool that will hammer down the nails that stick themselves up and refuse to fall into place. Allow Danzo to let you experience a terror unlike any other.”

Danzo placed his hand on Orochimaru’s head, with that the environment changed once again. The Hidden Leaf after the 1st great Ninja war, Orochimaru was an orphan all alone never knowing the warmth of a Family. He was just 6 years old due to his appearance he was ostracized by the boys, he was just to girly. Empty, this was how he felt, He sat in the class paid attention to the Teacher and eventually he graduated as a Genin to become a member of team Hiruizen.

He felt for the first time the warmth of companionship, they worked hard then the Second Great ninja war began. Team Hiruzen fought hard defending the leaf and carrying out assigned missions. This was what Orochimaru was reliving, Warden wanted him to find his highest point just to bring him to his lowest. During a Battle Orochimaru was hit by an attack which blew off his arm and part of his torso, death was certain but not instant. Warden slowed time to allow Orochimaru to experience his fear of death, His fear of loneliness, The pain was magnified by 10 times.

Warden let him feel the life being sucked out of his body, Organs failing, Sight fading, his body becoming cold, his voice unable to produce a sound as his companions fled leaving him their to die.Warden replayed this manufactured event in Orochimaru’s head many times in different scenarios until Orochimaru actually believed he was going to die.

At that Moment the Fear of dying was the magnified to the point normal people would become afraid to even brave the dangers of stepping out of their homes, cooking, or bathing. Such a terrifying level that the frail would die of shock, Orochimaru reached out with his remaining hand and what grasped it was Ichizo pulling him out of the Eternal night.

“Warden may have gone a little to far this time.”

Orochimaru was covered in sweat, and his face covered in tears as he stared at the Marble floor of the Palace. After a few moments to collect himself he looked up to see Ichizo looking back at him.

“Warden may have gone to far but, he does bring about amazing results as always.”

Orochimaru’s eyes were a magnificent scarlet color, the Normal three tomoe of the Sharingan were Larger and more defined in this modified bloodline. Today a Clan Leader was born after surviving the challenges of the Eternal Night, and the Monarch sitting comfortably upon his throne. Orochimaru Saimin, The world will know him as The Snake of Deception.
