Question: Who was Sasuke named after?

No One POV:

'A Jutsu I don't know...'

Orochimaru was more on alert. Hearing Sarutobi saying that he knows a Jutsu that he doesn't, made him on edge.

The three Sarutobi were still in their stance, from when they cast their Jutsu. Behind them was a grim reaper or well known as the Reaper Death Seal Jutsu. It suddenly looks in a direction.

'Must hurry....' Sarutobi mentally noted. 'This darkness is dangerous.'

"I'll have you show it to me," Orochimaru stated. Making Sarutobi keep his head up.

He notices something as he quickly guarded himself. Multiple attacks started to come as he was able to guard most of them. However, because of the genjutsu, he was in, he got hit in the stomach.

Pushing him back as he notices that his shoulder is bleeding. "What's the matter? Are you planning to be killed slowly by your predecessors?" Orochimaru taunted.

'Not yet...' Sarutobi said in thought.

The Reaper wrapped the beads around his hand. The fallen Sarutobi stand up while the two others were still on guard.

Suddenly marks started to appear in the Reaper's hand. Tracing down as it was slowly covering its arm. In front of him was a chakra in the shape of a human body.

Suddenly Sarutobi jumped a bit. It felt like someone, or something just went through his stomach. "It looks like...I was just in time."

"What's the matter? You're already stumbling..." Orochimaru stated.

The two Sarutobi started to make their move as they went in a separate direction. 'Now all that's left...is to catch them!'

One of the clones turns. Sprinting towards a direction as he grabbed something.

"I got you!"

Sarutobi grabbed it as he was stabbed four times. Grunting in pain as he continues to hold it. "I won't let got!"

"Appear!"

The Reaper stretches out more as it digs into the chakra body. Sarutobi's shirt was suddenly ripped as a phantom hand reach out from the stomach where the shirt ripped. Slowly seeking into the unknown body.

Soon the genjutsu was fading away. The darkness was gone as Sarutobi was holding on to the First Hokage. While the second Sarutobi was holding on to the Second Hokage.

'The darkness has disappeared...' Orochimaru frowned. 'What's this Jutsu?'

"Sarutobi!" Enma shouted.

The real Sarutobi's eyes were shaking a little. Both of the clones caught the Hokage, not Orochimaru.

"I'm sorry...Sarutobi." The First Hokage spoke. The Reaper's arm was slowly pulling out as it was grabbing the First Hokage's chakra.

"We caused you trouble..." The Second Hokage dry chuckled. The same process was happening to him.

"Please forgive me..." Sarutobi closes his eyes. "First Lord Hokage! Second Lord Hokage!"

As the Reaper's arm was pulling back, both of the Hokage's bodies started to crumble as they started to turn white. Now they have possession of the entire chakra.

"Seal!"

The arm and the chakra went back into Sarutobi's body as both clones grunted in pain. Breathing hard as a seal suddenly appeared to their stomach.

As both bodies started to disintegrate, two new bodies were found. It was the two sound ninjas from the Chunin exam. The boy who lost against Shino, and the girl who lost against Shikamaru.

"Your subordinates...!" Shadow as covering Sarutobi's eyes. Slowly remember the days as a young boy, he was already associated with the First and Second Hokage.

"All members in the Leaf Village are a part of me." The First Hokage smiled. "The villagers believe in me, and I believe in everyone. That's what the Hokage is."

"Saru..." Second Hokage spoke. "Protect those who love the village and believe in you. And bring them up as individuals to whom you can leave the next era."

"As of tomorrow, you are the..."

"Hokage!"

"Toying with even the lives of your subordinates...!" Sarutobi's veins were popping. Tears were leaking from his eyes as he was glaring at Orochimaru.

"Subordinates' lives? Stop the endless nonsense!" Orochimaru said. Starting to get irritated by Sarutobi's words.

"Didn't these kids believe in you?" Sarutobi question. Both clones starting to disappear. "Come! Enma!"

Enma came to Sarutobi as he immediately takes off. Orochimaru quickly pull out his blade as he wasn't expecting the sudden speed.

Sarutobi gave no chances as he delivers a barrage attack. Swinging efficiently while at the same time with a force that can knock off someone's head.

Orochimaru tries to land a bit, but Sarutobi quickly invaded as he knocked off the sword from his hand. "You're mine!" Enma extended as its target's Orochimaru.

"Striking Shadow Snake!"

Multiple snakes came out of now whereas it grabbed on to Enma. "Dang it! You little-!"

Sarutobi was now in front of Orochimaru. "It's over!" The two glared at each other.

The Reaper reaches out its arm one more time. Entering Sarutobi's chakra body. Reaching out from the body as it now entered Orochimaru.

'What is this sensation...?' Orochimaru grunted. 'This is bad...'

Orochimaru twitches as he motions his fingers. His snake sword floated as it was lining itself up. Targeting Sarutobi as Enma came out from his staff form.

"Die!"

Both the Reaper's arm and the snake sword take action. The arm was pulling Orochimaru's chakra as the blade launched itself towards Sarutobi. Enma was struggling as he was trying to break free from the snake's hold.

Suddenly blood spouted.

Enma was holding the blade with his bare hands. However, that wasn't the main source of blood. It was Sarutobi's blood, the sword piece Sarutobi.

"Why...didn't you dodge?" Orochimaru demanded. The Reaper's arm continues to pull back its arm.

"The Reaper Death Seal...In this Sealing Jutsu, in exchange for the effectiveness of Jutsu...one's soul is handed over to the Grim Reaper."

"It's a Jutsu that costs your life..."

Orochimaru put his hands together. However, his eyes went wide. 'My Jutsu doesn't activate...'

"There's no need to dodge," Sarutobi smirks. "I will die, anyway."

"At the same time the Sealing ends, my soul will also be devoured," Sarutobi stated. "It's a Jutsu of the hero who once saved this village."

"From now, you will also die...and be sent to hell!"

"So, this Jutsu also sealed that Nine-Tailed Fox, huh?!" Orochimaru realizes. "And now, your soul will be dragged out...and sealed!"

Orochimaru started to seat as he looks down. In his eyes, he could only imagine what was happening to him. The Reaper's arm is pulling almost all of his spirit.

'My body...won't listen to what I say!'

"You'll probably be able to see it soon," Sarutobi explained. "Your soul is also already about halfway out, so. Those who have their souls sealed by this Jutsu will suffer inside the belly of the Grim Reaper for eternity and will never attain peace..."

"Those who seal and are sealed have their souls intertwined and will hate each other and continue to battle for eternity!"

The Grim Reaper pulled out the blade from its mouth. Orochimaru's eyes widen in shock and slight fear. "What...?!"

The Reaper pulls out its tongue as it pulls the blades out. Two souls were screaming as it cuts the soul's head off. Devouring them as the souls scream in pain and agony.

'This is...the Grim Reaper?!'

It continues its meal as it was drooling a little. Eating the two souls as Orochimaru glared fiercely.

"Knock it off! You old bastard! I won't let you do as you like!!"

Orochimaru motion his hand as the sword starts to pierce more through Sarutobi's body. Through how long it's piercing through, the Reaper's arm was slowly letting go.

"Hurry up and...die!"

Sarutobi breathes hard as Orochimaru smirk with glee.

Scene Change Jutsu

Kankuro was still taking off as he had Gaara over his shoulder. Suddenly he notices something he glares with anger.

"Someone's coming!" Kankuro growls. "Which one...?"

A flash came as shurikens came towards him. "Uchiha, huh?" Kankuro guesses as he dodges.

'Then, what about Temari?' Kankuro worried in his mind. He stopped as someone now had caught up.

It was Sasuke as he was smirking. "Don't run away like that..." Sasuke stated.

"Fine." Kankuro agreed. "I'll be your opponent this time."

"Wait!"

Someone came down as it was Temari. Now standing next to Kankuro he was slightly shocked. "Temari! I assumed you'd been creamed by him. So, you're, okay?!"

"Yeah. Somehow..." Temari panted. He was also expecting death, but yet it didn't happen. "But...it didn't turn out to be much of a delay."

"No, it's the time necessary for Gaara's recovery," Kankuro assured. "Besides, it'll lead to his consumption of chakra."

Scene Change Jutsu

Pakkun, Naruto, Sakura, Haku, and Y/n was still on the run. Pakkun notices something he started to sniff. "This is..."

"Shampoo, again?" Naruto said. He was still upset by that time.

"No, it's Sasuke." Pakkun answers. "There are several smells near him. He caught up..."

"At last..." Sakura turned as everyone else was glad that they were getting closer. But at the same time, they were worried.

"The other scents must be the Sand Siblings. They're the only one that'll do something like this for Panda." Y/n stated.

Everyone else nodded as they quickly hurried their way. Yes, Sasuke is strong. But is he strong enough when he's up against two shinobis and Gaara?

"He's stopped moving. Is he going to fight with them?!" Pakkun questioned.

'What?! He-He can't! If Y/n had a troubled time with Gaara...' Sakura panicked in her mind. She was seeing how while Y/n had some upper hands, he was still struggling.

Y/n was also panicking. He could see how the battle would go. If Panda wakes up and sees Sasuke, then his bloodlust will raise. Then if that happens, his Tailed Beast will come out.

"Let's hurry!" Pakkun commanded. 'What's this clump of countless smells coming from another direction?'

"Hey! There's something besides us tracking Sasuke!"

"What?!" Naruto yells. "An enemy? An ally?!" Sakura immediately asks.

"I don't know. But..." 

"But?" Naruto asks. "But what?" Haku asks as well.

"It's not human."

Kankuro puts Gaara down as the two sand siblings look at Sasuke. "Go! Kankuro! I'll take him again..."

Kankuro came forward as he put the puppet to the side of him. "Temari, you take Gaara and go on ahead," Kankuro stated.

"What?" Temari asks. "You're at your limit..." Kankuro turn towards Temari. "I don't need a hindrance."

"But...!"

"Go!"

Temari looks at Gaara. He stared at him a bit before looking back. Debating on how this would end. 

"Hurry up and go!" Kankuro yell. Temari stares at the back of Kankuro before closing his eyes. "Alright..."

"It can't be helped...I'll be your opponent!" Kankuro challenged. Temari grabs Gaara as he now flees off.

"Humph! I don't care who it is!" Sasuke stated smugly.

"No!"

A new voice came as it made everyone freeze. Sasuke looks to the side as it was Shino. Standing on a tree next to Sasuke, looking at Kankuro.

"Your opponent is me!"

"You...!" Kankuro was confused. This was his opponent during the exam. But why is he suddenly here?

"Why are you here?!" Sasuke asks. "Better yet, how did you find me?!"

Shino lifted his finger. Suddenly a butterfly came flying down in his finger. "This butterfly has been following you ever since the arena."

Sasuke looks at the butterfly as he notices small scales coming off. "It scales comes off as it led a blessing trail." 

"Sasuke Uchiha...You pursue Gaara." Shino stated. "Because of the battle between him and Y/n, for what he tried to do."

Shino turned as his face was now looking at Kankuro. "I'll fight him because not only for what he's teammate tried. But because originally, I was his opponent..."

"I withdraw! Please go ahead with the match."

"Leave this to me here! Go!"

Kankuro grunted as he was more annoyed. "You're very confident." Sasuke complimented. "But are you going to be, okay?"

"No need to worry," Shino assured. "I'll go back you up if I have just ten minutes."

"Humph. By then, I'll be done too." With that Sasuke takes off.

Kankuro chuckles as he heard what Shino said. "None of you know anything at all. You guys probably don't know of the real terror of this world."

"In that case..." Shino gets himself ready. "You'll teach me that terror?"

"No... If you defeat me and chase Gaara, you'll be forced to know." Kankuro smirk darkly.

"That is...if you're still alive."

I don't know if it's just me but back then and to this day, I wasn't a fan of Sarutobi. I mean he could have done so many things for Naruto, but he didn't. Sure, he's the Hokage and he has rules to follow, but the man could've given Naruto a better place to stay.

Plus, it's the fact he could've trained him. Sure, it would've changed the story, but he could've taught Naruto the basics. He wouldn't have to teach him such a powerful Jutsu, just things like how to control his chakra, or knowing about the elements.
