Ephemeral Odyssey: Chronicles of Sasuke Shippuden

Oriaj, aged 32, standing at 1.82 meters tall (5,97 feet), was a martial artist and writer who met his demise in a mysterious confrontation in his Earthly world. A cursed assassin took his life, a pitiful fate. The police always warned, never to resist or fight against a robber demanding your money—why? They have weapons, and even if you know how to fight, the cowards kill you from behind. Nowadays, they don't even use pistols; they use shotguns.

Well, destiny took him beyond death, and his consciousness was transported to a completely unknown place, a surprise for the new protagonist of this story. An enveloping darkness surrounded him, and he felt as if he were floating in an interdimensional vortex, a kind of Nirvana, between life and death.

After all that, suddenly, Oriaj felt an abrupt change, as if being pulled by an invisible power. Was it a deity doing this? No one knows. However, his vision, blurred by darkness, began to clear, and he found himself standing on a worn battlefield, a place made of wood and stone, similar to an ancient room. As he looked around, he realized he was in the body of Sasuke Uchiha, the legendary shinobi of Konohagakure.

"What the hell, I've read these series so many times that I must be dreaming! No, I just need to stay calm and breathe."

Oriaj was perplexed, not understanding what had just happened. He could feel the chakra energy pulsing through Sasuke's body, something he had never experienced in his previous life. He tried to stand up, and as he did, he noticed a strange presence within his mind.

"Sasuke... Orochimaru..." Oriaj whispered to himself, trying to comprehend the complexity of the situation. "I think I just figured it out; so, it's to these kinds of worlds that we are transported, how crazy."

The memory of the battle against Orochimaru began to flash in his mind...

Flashback: The scene was shrouded in an aura of tension as Orochimaru skillfully transported himself and Sasuke to a mental plane. Shadows danced around them, creating a sinister atmosphere. Orochimaru, with a sinister smile, revealed his intentions to take over Sasuke's body.

Sasuke, however, was not willing to become a victim of Orochimaru. His Sharingan eyes gleamed intensely, reflecting determination in his expression. "You won't succeed, Orochimaru. My Sharingan can see through all your tricks," he declared, echoing the wise words of his older brother, Itachi.

The mental battle unfolded, with every move of Orochimaru meticulously analyzed by Sasuke's sharp eyes. At a crucial moment, Sasuke used his Sharingan to reverse the effects of Orochimaru's technique, corroding the very foundation of the mental plane. "You underestimated the power of my Sharingan. Now it's my turn," Sasuke confidently pronounced. The scene shifted drastically as Sasuke began to absorb the remnants of Orochimaru, leaving the environment shattered and collapsing.

Flashback END

Kabuto, who watched everything with wide eyes, was stunned. "Orochimaru... he disappeared?" Kabuto murmured to himself, unable to believe what his eyes had witnessed.

Triumphant, a new Sasuke emerged from hiding, using a fuinjutsu technique to seal Orochimaru's empty body, a victorious smile adorning his face, but it seemed sinister too. "Well, you underestimated the power of the Sharingan, Kabuto. Orochimaru is no longer a problem for this world, maybe I am now," Sasuke asserted, with confidence pulsing in his words in a different way.

"Wait, what? Who are you? Tell me... I need to know."

The scene concluded with Sasuke looking into Kabuto's eyes and saying, "I am not the Sasuke you know, let's say I am a new shadow, a new revolutionary." Then he left the hideout, his journey taking an unexpected turn, but now with a new strength and determination.

He remembered the genjutsus he used to overcome the skilled snake ninja. He also recalled the Curse Mark he had absorbed, nullifying the threats Orochimaru posed.

The consciousness of Sasuke and Orochimaru had disappeared, leaving only Oriaj in control. He was perplexed and confused, trying to understand how he had ended up there and what had happened to the previous personalities.

"Surprising or fascinating, what is happening? Huh, who knows, this is the best day of my life," Oriaj murmured to himself, trying to adapt to the new reality.

Oriaj realized he was now in the world of Naruto, full of ninjas unleashing powers instead of being spies, jutsus, and incomprehensible challenges for someone accustomed only to martial arts in his previous world and writing books. This was nothing. He was determined to explore this new life and discover how to use Sasuke's abilities to the best of his ability, even with the girls.

So, at this moment, Sasuke darted out of Orochimaru's now deserted hideout. Using his chakra on his feet, he scaled the dizzying surfaces at high speed. "What an impressive view," he thought to himself, but soon his mind turned to unresolved matters. "I am still a fugitive from Konoha, but I'll deal with that later. Moreover, I need to gather my team: Karin, Suigetsu, and Jugo... I have some intriguing plans to set in motion." With a renewed determination, Sasuke plotted the next steps of his journey, aware that significant challenges and decisions lay ahead.

With a mix of confusion, surprise, and determination, Oriaj quickly accepted his new identity as Sasuke Uchiha. The future held unimaginable challenges now, but at this moment, he had the skills of a legendary shinobi. Sasuke's muscle memory was still present, and now, combined with the strength of a former martial artist, he became a unique and formidable combination. This time, with these powers, he would be victorious.
