The attack was sudden and unexpected, there was no warning, no demands nothing. wave attacked with the furosity its nation was known for. demolishing a good portion of the town and killing and injuring hundreds of people in konoha. konoha's forces were able to drive the enemy back, protecting their mighty city from falling to the hands of enemy nins. with peace being restored slowly, rebuilding began and the question arose of who could be trusted. many shinobi were 'interviewed' some for longer than others. a few unlucky one's were being held for questioning until it was deemed that they were not a threat to the village. one such unlucky person was one umino iruka. having been born in wave, his family hailing from there and relocating to konoha when he was a child, it could not be certain that the man could be trusted with his loyalty.

one moment he had been getting ready to leave his broken apartment for a shift in the newly formed recovery center for civilians, when suddenly he was surrounded by anbu who immidietly demmanded he relinquish all his weapons. standing there in shock he just looked at the anbu surrounding him, he'd never seen more than two of them at a time, there were five in his living room.
"weapons now"

realizing that he had taken to long to respond he nodded before slowly unclasping his weapons pouch and tossing it to the waiting anbu.

"what is this about?"

"umino iruka correct?"

nodding his head he waited to see where this was going, but the anbu didnt seem to want to relinquish any more information.

"you are to come with us"
looking at the impossing figures invading his ranshackled apartment all he could do was nod, it wasnt like he could fight against them or run, not that he would. but being in the presence of such strong shinobi was frightening to the chunin. an anbu stepped forward and grasped his shoulder a little harsher than was nessasary. and like that they dissapeared in a puff of smoke.

they arrived at an unknown location, iruka at first disorientated by the transportation jutsu. he was pushed along until they entered a room with only a single light dangling from the center. dread spread up the chunin's spine. this was an interrogation room. a single chair sat in the middle of the room and as the door swung shut behind them iruka couldnt help but shiver.
"take a seat"
doing as he was told, iruka sat in the rather uncomfortable wooden chair. at first nothing happened. there was nothing but the silence and their breathing. just as he was about to question them, the door swung open to admit ibiki. standing abruptly got two anbu shoving him back in his seat. glancing to the two masked men, he returned his focus onto the interrogation specialist.
"i-i dont understand, whats going on?"

"with the recent attack were taking certain precautions"

nodding his head he waited for the scarred man to continue.

"your file says you hail from wave"

realizing what was going on, it hit him like a sack of bricks. they thought he had something to do with the attack on konoha.

" my parents came from wave, i was raised here"

"but you were born in wave correct?"

"yes"

nodding ibiki wrote something down in the file before continueing.

"you never advanced past chunin rank, is there a reason for that?"

the man shrugged which was rather hard considering two anbu still held him in place.

"i never really wanted to be anything more than a teacher. i love the kids and it just fit with me"

ibiki nodded before writing something else down. only a second later a horrifying scream echoed down the hall causing the teacher to jump in his seat.

"what was that!?"

"none of your concern iruka- you answer our questions truthfully and we wont have any problems"

"why wouldnt i answer you truthfully why lie? i've lived here my entire life"

ibiki leaned against the door, staring at the man with his scarred face not moving to portray any emotion. iruka glanced around the room and noted the different masks of the anbu, he'd seen a couple of them in passing when delivering files to the hokage, but he'd never spoken to any anbu besides greeting them curtiously. he could see nothing but the darkened eye slits where eyes were supposed to be, naturally it was too dark to even see the eyes starring at him. looking back to ibiki he waited for the man to ask more questions.

"you've been a school teacher at the academy for how long?"

"twelve years this may"

"you've never really left the village for missions besides a few lower level scroll missions correct"

"yes thats right"

"and you work in the hokage's office"

"on tuesdays and thursdays after school lets out and i work at the reports office on mondays and wednsdays"

"why so much work?"

"i dont like being bored, i live alone so its not like i have someone to come home to."

"you realize with your level of clearence and your ability to get to delicate information it makes you a threat to the village if you were compromised"

iruka nodded to ibiki before saying.

"i knew that when i signed up to become a shinobi that someday i might be forced to choose between my life and the village.

nodding ibiki didnt bother to write any of that information down. instead flipping through a couple of pages until he seemed to get to the page he wanted, he stared intently at the page for a moment before looking up to the chunin infront of him.

" do you understand why your here?"

"i think so-my parents relationship with wave was well known before they moved here, you can only assume that i may have some ties there through them, but i dont. they died in the nine tails attack and i grew up here"

nodding ibiki continued to drift through the pages before him, seeming bored by everything the chunin was saying.

" your well liked by all of your peers, even some higher up officers have mentioned that your a good comrade."

"um thank you?"

iruka reached up and scratched at his scar, something he was prone to doing when uncomfortable.ibiki gave a rare smile to the man, before closing the file and going towards the door. opening it, he turned enough to face the chunin.

"you'll be staying here a while, so i'd get comfortable if i were you"

"wha- but i answered all your questions didnt i?"

ibiki nodded, before turning to leave he commented dryly.

"that doesnt mean i believe you"
the door shut leaving iruka in a room of five anbu. sitting there he was relieved when the two anbu holding him in place released him to take their place against the nearest wall with their teammates. sighing iruka leaned back in the chair. he didnt know what to think, whether he should be glad that they were taking such precautions for the sake of the village or if he should be mad that they didnt believe him. either way it was obvious that he was going to be here until he could convince them otherwise. looking to the nearest anbu he couldnt help but voice his curiousity.

" does ibiki really think i need five anbu guards? im a chunin?"

the anbu didnt respond at first before tilting their head and saying.

" appearences can be decieving."

iruka sighed before closing his eyes. he was getting a headache and he was sure that it was only going to get worse with time. it was some five hours later that ibiki came back into the room, iruka was by now getting tired of sitting in the same chair. he didnt try to get up though to bow to the man like he had tried before. he knew that wouldnt be allowed.

"iruka can you explain your werabouts two weeks ago- you were seen leaving the village gates into the forest and you appeared to be gone for nearly three hours"

iruka reached up and scratched at his scar for a moment before it dawned on him.

" oh i was out getting teaching aids, i was teaching the kids about natural remedies and went to go get some herbs"

" and that took three hours?"

"it did"

ibiki did not look impressed, but it was the truth, iruka just didnt know how to make him see it.

" your file says you've had run in with defectors before?"

"defectors?"

"mizuki"

iruka looked away and just nodded. ibiki made a hmm sound before jotting something down in his file book.

"you also appear to be very close to the jinchuriki"

"naruto? yes im close with him, i was his teacher"

" and you hold no ill will towards the kyuubi vessel for killing your parents?"

iruka paused before answering, it was a delicate question.

"i did when i was a child, it was hard not to blame him, but as i grew i learned that he was just as much a victim of the attack as i was."

ibiki wrote something down once more, before approaching iruka, the chunin reclined in the chair at the mans approach. the interrogations officer didnt seem to mind and instead got right in his face.

"it also says you have a temper"

realizing that the man was trying to get a rise out of him, iruka simply nodded.

"mostly with people turning in destroyed reports, but i've never hurt anyone"

still staying in the chunins face, ibiki questioned.

" not just the reports, we have on file that you confronted hatake kakashi about your students entrance to the chunin exams"

iruka nodded, trying to pull away from the man who was practically touching him.

"i was frustrated, i didnt think they were ready-then with everything that happened. i apologized afterwards"

"hmm"

pulling away from the man, he turned his back to the chunin who was finally able to breath.

"this stays in this room am i understood?"

iruka was about to ask what he was talking about when all five of the anbu said 'hai'. realizing that he wasnt talking to him yet, he couldnt help but swallow hard. he had a bad feeling about this.

"lastly its noted that you were aspiring towards great things in your genin days, your sensei had high hopes for you and reported so to the hokage"

feeling that sense of dread grow he just knew where this was going.

"yet you never tried for jounin rank or even higher ranked missions. instead choosing to stay within the village gates. with one of the legendary sanin as your sensei i would have expected you to at least try for a higher rank, after all im sure he taught you lots. tell me what did you learn from orochimaru?"

"ibiki-i had no choice in who my sensei was-"

"oh i cant blame you for that, but with everything thats happened, with the wars and the fighting between konoha and sound and then your previous student sasuke uchiha goes and joins orochimaru-things dont look good for your side of the arguement."

eyes widening, iruka took a deep breath as if he had been punched. this couldnt be happening, he was being linked to all of these horrible things and they thought he was now behind the recent attack on konoha. he sat there his mouth slightly agape staring at the mans back.

"anything to say for yourself?"

ibiki turned around, collecting himself iruka looked to his feet and sighed.

"no there's nothing i can say to make you believe im not a danger to konoha."

looking up to the interrigation officer, iruka continued.

"so do your job and do whatever you need to do to make sure im not a threat to konoha."

" you realize what most likely will happen?"

iruka shrugged looking to the floor again.

"not really, but its not like it matters how i feel about it"

"true-very well then, get comfortable"
iruka had to hold back a laugh as ibiki left the room again, leaving him once again with only his anbu guards. putting his head in his hands he couldnt believe how this day was turning out, he'd been tired from all the reconstruction they were doing and had dreaded another day of it, but this-this was far worse than any manual labor they could have given him.

the anbu didnt say anything-with words, silently they were talking to one another throughout the entire conversation taking place around them. suttle tilts of the head, movements of muscle was all that was needed to ascertain what they were thinking. they couldnt believe all they had learned about this 'school teacher' by the way things were panning out they were sure to have to use extreme measures to make sure he was telling the truth. none of that would be pleasant for the chunin.
iruka was focusing on his breathing so he wouldnt hyperventalate at his current situation when another scream broke through the building. tensing up at the sound the teacher eventually released his tensed muscles when the scream died down to a whisper. whatever they were doing in this place was not something he wanted to be part of. he just wanted to go home and goto bed and forget this ever happened. as it was he was trying desperatly not to cry out in frustration. he knew it wouldnt be good to show how this was effecting him, he couldnt afford to loose his temper at the staged questions to make him look bad. so he breathed in and out, in and out. over and over again until he had managed to calm himself somewhat. it wasnt 100% but it was better than he had been before.

time passed slowly for the chunin, finally at his wits end he had to ask.
"how long has it been"
looking over to the bear mask of an anbu he wasnt all that surprised when he didnt get a response. tilting his head back iruka stared at the cieling, the light was blinding but at least it was a change of scenery, he hadnt stared at the ceiling yet. he managed to count the cracks in the stone building until the door swung open again. ibiki was back and this time he had a black satchel with him, iruka quickly glanced away, he didnt want to know what was in the bag. he heard some rusteling and then footsteps as ibiki approached.
"it would be wise of you not to fight"
iruka refused to make eye contact and instead just nodded his consent to whatever was about to happen to him. he jumped a little when his arm was rather suddenly touched. he saw the anbu flinch as if to jump forward, but when he didnt move any further they relaxed. ibiki was restraining his left arm to the chain with chakra cord. the cord was cold to the touch and made iruka shiver.
"problem?"

"its cold"

"ah"
ibiki ignored his discomfort and proceeded to tie up his right arm as well. before kneeling to his feet and tying them to the posts of the chair. he was now fully restrained against the chair and could do absoulutely nothing about anything they wanted to do to him. finally turning his head to look down at himself he closed his eyes after taking in the chakra cord wrapped around his body. ironically a random thought popped into his head about tying the chakra cord efficiently, he couldnt help but let out a laugh which startled everyone in the room. ibiki frowned at the teacher, who was currently looking down at his wrists.

"something funny?"

"i just taught this to the kids- chakra cord and its many uses"

ibiki didnt comment and neither did any of the anbu, but the eyes behind the masks moved around the room to each other in silent contemplation. taking a breath iruka looked up to ibiki and stated matter of factly.

" you guys need better chairs"

a small smirk graced the interrigators scarred face before he crouched down infront of the school teacher.

" your going to have more pressing concerns than the comfortability of that chair"
iruka nodded, letting his head fall down to glance at his wrists again. his mind started to drift to all the horrible things they could do to him, they could kill him and no one would be the wiser, they would just think he had died in the attack, he hadnt actually seen any of his comrades so it wouldnt be hard for the anbu to explain away his death, not that they would offer up an explination to begin with, but they had plenty of options before them. he was well and truly screwed. ibiki rose from his crouched position before nodding to one of the anbu behind iruka. he heard the soft footfalls of the anbu approaching, hearing them stop right behind him. iruka waited for some horrendous pain to spark throughout his body, but nothing happened, instead the anbu came around and kneeled to make eye contact, it was in that instant that he knew what was about to happen to him-genjitsu.
************

in just a matter of seconds he found himself in another world, his memories it seemed because all of the sudden he was an outsider looking at a much younger version of himself talking with his sensei- he was talking with orochimaru and the anbu were watching. iruka didnt try and break the genjitsu he knew he wouldnt be able, but he did turn away from the scene playing out infront of him. at the very least he wasnt being forced to watch it.

"sensei"

"yes iruka"

" how'd you get so strong?"

"hehehe it took time, and practice lots of practice iruka. just like you and your teammates are doing now"

the boy looked up into the slitted eyes of his sensei and nodded a cheerful smile on his face.

"when are we gonna train next?"

"soon, i have some work to do, but we'll be getting some training in as soon as im done"

the boy nodded, trusting the figure infront of him impleccably.

"how would you like to do a summons iruka, a very special summons?"

the boy practically jumped in the air as he nodded his head enthusiastically.

the scene warped around him, suddenly changing to the battlefield. his back against a tree a teenage iruka blocked an incoming kunai and hid himself better behind the tree. they were pinned down and his sensei was no where to be seen. he was already cut up pretty badly and he couldnt see his teammates. getting frustrated with his situation, iruka watched in a horrified fashion as his much younger self did a summoning jutusu and sent a large snake to attack his enemies. the cries of pain and death making the boy smile.

*********

he was suddenly jolted out of the memory and back into the chair he was restrained too, he was breathing hard and sweating a little. the anbu didnt seem to be bothered by the genjitsu at all, simply standing and walking over to ibiki before whispering some things to the man and then returning to their place around the wall. iruka caught his breath, those memories- his sensei.

"it seems your profile isnt quite complete iruka, it doesnt state in here that you have the same summons as orochimaru"

the teacher shook his head, not bothering to make eye contact as his vainly tried to explain himself.

"i dont use it"

"but you have the ability to release the snake summons onto anyone you choose correct?"

iruka nodded his head, holding back tears he refused to cry infront of the anbu, infront of ibiki. he would be strong.

"how many have you killed with that summons?"

iruka looked up rather suddenly, how many? he had no idea how many times he'd used the technique.

"i- i dont know"

"hmm. i see"

ibiki went back to writing in his little folder before continueing the questions.

" and have you taught anyone about your snake summons?"

"no- never i i didnt want to pass that knowledge on"

"and why is that?"

biting his lip, iruka fought with himself on what he should say.

"iruka"

"its-its not like normal summons, the snakes-they want blood"

"and you've given them this when you've summoned them?"

"yes"

"i see, how long has it been since you used that summons?"

blinking back tears he answered .

"years"

"so you expect us to believe that you hold one of the most dangerous kinds of summons and you dont use it?"

"yes"

"you see how this looks do you not?"

iruka nodded his head, looking to his feet he was suddenly fasinated by the chakra cord wrapped around his legs.

"onto something else, having worked in the reports room you have reported directly to the hokage many times have you not?"

iruka nodded.

"bringing files and reports to his desk whenever he needed them and offering counsil in certain situations."

again iruka nodded.

"and did you ask the hokage to go easy on your sensei when they announced him as a missing nin?"

iruak bit his lip again, almost to the point of blood, he had been so foolish as a child. he'd idealised his sensei like most students do.

"yes- i asked for leniencly"

" and your sensei ended up getting away did he not?"

"yes"

"did you have any part in warning him that the hokage suspected him of committing the kiddnappings?"

shaking his head, he answered somberly.

"i didnt know anything about it at the time. i didnt find out until afterwards."

"would you have intervened on your sensei's behalf if you had information that could have aided his escape."

he didnt know how much more of this he could take. when would the questions end, why did they have to bring him up?

"no"

"so you would have abandoned your sensei to whatever fate the hokage deemed fitting?"

"yes"

"and what of your teammates?"

iruka shrugged, he really didnt want to talk about all this, but he knew ibiki was going to go there.

"it states in your file that one died on a mission early into your teams progression, orochimaru claimed that he could do nothing for the boy."

"he bled out"

"i see, and the wound?"

"kunai to the chest "

"who implimented the wound?"

iruka shrugged before clarifying.

"i dont know- i didnt see anything."

"so you were beside your teammate yet you didnt see who had attacked him?"

"i was just a kid"

"but you didnt notice a nin sneaking up and then stabbing your teammate? they left you alive out of some mercy?"

shaking his head, he looked to ibiki.

"i didnt see the attack because i was bleeding all over myself, the scar on my face, i was currently trying to wipe blood off of my face when he was attacked. sensei was able to get to me before they could finish me off, but by then it was already to late."

sighing ibiki stood up straight, looking down to the man he was interrogating, things werent looking good for the chunin that much was for sure. there was just too many connections to him and bad occurences in konoha.

" i think were done for now- we'll talk again in the morning"

ibiki turned to leave and iruka realized they were going to leave him tied up to the chair, he almost spoke up but then remembered that they wouldnt care if he was comfortable or not, clamping him mouth shut he leaned his head back closing his eyes. the sound of the door shutting sounded louder than it ever had before.
