"You know how it is in the game of chess...Pieces must be sacrificed." -Orochimaru
AND IT'S SYMBOLIC!
Orochimaru (a King) is in check from Sasuke (a Knight) He is also in check from The clock, or time (a Rook) Orochimaru could attack sasuke with Manda (a Knight) But then he would still be in check from the clock. Kabuto (A Bishop) is not close enough to be of immediate help. But, if Sasuke kills Orochimaru himself, he will be in line for an attack by Kabuto. Problem is, what use is a Bishop when the King is already gone?
Basically, it's talking about the Orochimaru vs Sasuke fight (spoilers) Orochimaru couldn't Kill Sasuke, because he needed him for his next body and he was running out of time. Kabuto wasn't in the room during the fight, so he couldn't really help, but now that it's over he seeks revenge on Sasuke.
Plus all the sound nin that have died in naruto are watching the game, like pieces taken out during the game.
This is so much fun to look at! Definitely a new favorite of mine.

I love the symbolism. I was surprised when i saw it because I love to play chess (but the time piece being the rook confused me a second, I was like..eh? God I hope Kabutos not the queen...)
This is a nice bit of work you've done. I can tell your improving more and more.

...just how bad is it with me if despite beautiful symbolism and imagery my very first thought was 'OMG WHY IS OROCHIMARU NOT STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD HIS FEET ARE OVER THE LINE ARGH! *twitches nervously*'
I suppose that's why people stopped playing chess with me. Sigh.
Weeeell, back to what matters - this is definitely a new favourite of mine because Kabuto, Orochimaru and chess have got to be somewhere in the same league of Kabuto and caffeine. Plus I love Kin's 'expression' in the background, maybe you just intended her lying dead or so, but to me this is totally screaming 'I'm bored. I want to poke Manda with a stick.'
And uhm... I think I'll just walk away and fave quietly now
And yet this will never stop amazing me, not only because the art itself and idea would be so awesome (chess), but because, despicing that, if ANYONE who hadn't read the explanation sees this, he could arrive to that same conclution just thinking about it...! This is symbolic AND universal..:!!
Congratulations!!! Truly...!!! This blows me..!

I bide my time, I play the games
While darker blood runs through my veins
I wait the day that I can show
The demon that is Kabuto.

if you steal my art, you will be dragged off in the night and dissected, inch by inch, with a rusty scalpel

Sleep is a symptom of caffeine deprivation.
