The fate of the first
Suigetsu peeked into the medical experimentation room and eyed the large tank in wonder as he watched the small floating lump that had formed. It had been 6 months since they placed the first vial into the tank, Kabuto told him that it was forming on schedule so far. His eyes widened as his ears picked up the screeching of one of the machines. Flinching, he quickly covered his ears as the sound became unbearable for him. His panicked gaze locked on Kabuto, and he watched as the glasses-wearing ninja simply powered down the machines attached to the tank and began to write on his clipboard. Suigetsu’s eyes narrowed at the male, he didn’t even try to keep the kid alive.
“Suigetsu, come dispose of the corpse while I get the machines ready for the next one.”
Suigetsu quickly made his way over to Kabuto, not breaking his glare. He had hoped that Kabuto hadn’t picked up on him being around. With shaky hands Suigetsu took a small towel and wrapped it around the tiny lump before marching outside the base with it. He knew what ‘get rid’ of it meant, but he decided he wanted to give the poor thing a resting place. Slowly walking to the nearby woods, he found a younger tree and decided this would be the marker for the grave. He gently set the towel down beside him and performed hand signs to activate his waterball to dig into the ground. As soon as the hole was made, he gently placed the towel inside of it and pushed the dirt back into the hole before walking back to the base.
“Suigetsu, I need you to finish cleaning the desk. I must report this to Lord Orochimaru.”
Suigetsu nodded slowly as he watched Kabuto leave the room. His purple eyes gazed over at the large tank. Before he knew it, his legs carried him over to it. He gently placed his pale hand against the glass and narrowed his eyes in determination.
“I will keep you from the same fate as the first. I promise.”
Suigetsu hesitantly moved away from the tank to clean Kabuto’s mess.
