when he was finally able to open his eyes again, he was staring down at the floor. groaning, he didnt try to move. his entire body hurt, it felt like he'd broken all the bones where the blade had touched.

"your awake, good ibiki's been waiting for you"

the hawk anbu left the room to retrieve ibiki, leaving iruka in the care of his teammates. struggling to life his head, he tilted it to the side to be able to see the anbu around him.

"h-how long"

"a couple hours"

iruka let his head drop, he didnt have the strength to fight holding it up. the door came open and two sets of footsteps came in. the anbu returned to his post while ibiki came to stand infront of him. staring at the mans shoes he couldnt help but wonder if he was going to die here today. his hair was grasped and his head pulled back, he didnt bother to wince, it didnt hurt anymore.

"good your awake, im going to ask you one last time, what did you say to the messanger that orochimaru sent to you during the attack?"

iruka lazely let his eyes roll around, never really focusing on anything. frustrated ibiki shoved his head down releasing irukas hair. the chunin could do nothing, all he could feel was pain. his entire body hurt, but his pathways, his pathways were sliced apart like some dicected frog.

"very well, if you refuse to talk, i'll find another means to get my answers"

the man stormed out of the room leaving iruka once again alone with the anbu watching him. he couldnt even bring himself to cry, he hurt too much to try. so instead he sat there in silence, questioning why this was happening to him. ibiki was gone for some time, leaving iruka to idly wonder what the interrogations officer was going to do next. he didnt have to wait long. ibiki returned through the door a small cart with him, on it some vials of a variety of substances and a syringe along with a couple other supplies. iruka just watched as ibiki prepared the needle, filling it with the first substance. walking over to the chunin he showed it to the man tied to the chair.

"do you know what this is?"

"no"

he hoarsley replied.

"this is a stimulant that causes your chakra to surge"

he left what would happen unsaid, iruka already knew what it meant, his chakra was going to race through his pathways and when it got to the broken parts he'd cut-he shuddered at the thought.

"do you have anything to say?"

"no"

"very well"

he winced as the needle was suddenly jammed into the side of his neck, the cold liquid entering his bloodstream. the effect was instantaneous. he felt his chakra react to the stimulant in his system and begin to surge around his body. coming to the first barrier in its circuit around the mans body in his ribs, iruka screamed as the chakra rebelled at being held back from its normal flow.

"that feeling your experiencing right now, its called flowback. with your chakra dissrupted by the cuts i've made your going to experience quite a lot of it. the only thing that will make it stop is when your chakra pathways are put back into order. of course the drug wont last that long. just an hour or two"

iruka sobbed, he was going to have to endure a couple hours of this pain, another arch of pain struck and he cried out, his voice breaking as he tried to express his pain. his chakra continued to surge throughout his body, rebelling at each of the points that ibiki had cut. trying to reconnect with its normal circuit in vain.

ibiki stood there along side his anbu and watched the man thrash in the chair, the chunin hadnt broken yet, but he had no doubts that it wouldnt be long before he did and then he would get all the answers he needed. the anbu winced at the shrill screaming the man was able to produce as he thrashed about. it continued this way for over an hour and half, iruka never quite being able to fall unconciosis, being kept just on the precipise of conciousness, riding the waves of pain throughout his body. he didnt even notice when the waves of pain began to ebb, he'd long since lost his voice from all the screaming and merely made small whimpers or squeeks as the tremors rocked his body. it wasnt until someone started talking to him that he realized the intial waves of pain had gone and what remained was the result of the chakra surging for so long.

"iruka pay attention."

ibiki watched as the hazel eyes rolled about in the mans skull never quite locking on with his, he knew the man was awake, but propably in too much pain to give a valid response.

"iruka this is your last warning."

hereing the buzzing of what must have been ibiki talking to him, iruka tried to find the man in his plane of view, but all he could see was blurry figures. his head was jerked to the side as he was suddenly slapped across the face. it did nothing for his ability to distinguish the people around him, but ibiki apparently thought it would work so he struck him again.

"IRUKA!"

jolting in his seat, the chunin moaned, finally clearing his head enough to see the blurry outline of what must be ibiki. he lazely nodded his head, which could have easily just been him rotating his head around as he had been doing for the last ten minutes, but ibiki saw the sliver of recognition.

"good, now that thats over why dont you tell me some things hmm"

iruka opened his mouth as if to talk but nothing came out, the chunin slowly closed his mouth. ibiki frowned at the chunins refusal to talk.

"iruka dont fight me on this, tell me what you know about orochimaru"

gathering the last of his strength, iruka glarred at ibiki, his most hate filled glare that he could muster before muttering to the man in a quiet whisper.

"goto hell"

ibiki frowned as he watched the man slip into unconciosisness. the chunin was proving to be difficult, looking to the anbu he stated matter of factly.

"since he doesnt seem to wish to cooroporate with us any more, were going to plan b. understood"

a chorus of 'hai' was heard by ibiki as he opened the door and yelled down the hallway.

"get me a gurney"

*********

returning to the real world was a slow process for the chunin. at first all he did was lay there, not even realizing that he was apparently lying on his back. instead he just lay breathing in the musty air of the dungeon he was being forced to live in. he guessed that they were underground because the air was cold. turning his head to the side he allowed a sigh to escape his lips, never bothering to fight to open his eyes.

"iruka"

"hmm"

he managed to make a non comital sound to respond to the anbu, whichever one was talking to him.

"open your eyes"

allowing a couple of tears to slip passed his eyelashes, iruka only thought about how they were going to force him to stay awake from now on until this hell ended. his only reprieve was when he slipped into darkness.he squinted at first, not being able to make out any of the anbu, their shadows filling his vision , but not being able to clarify which ones he was seeing. his vision slowly returned to his control and he found that three of them were on one side of the table he lay on and another two were on the other side of him. ibiki was nowhere in sight. he relaxed minutely, besides watching him the anbu hadnt really hurt him, it had all been ibiki's doing. he lay there for a moment before muttering

"what now"

his voice was nothing but a whisper, his vocal cords strained from all the yelling.

"now you wait"

"for ibiki?"

the anbu nodded, sighing iruka allowed his head to come back to the center of the room,staring at the ceiling again, he didnt bother to count. unable to stop himself, he quietly asked.

"am i going to die here?"

the anbu didnt respond at first, glancing to one another uncertaintly. before the tiger masked female responded.

"it depends on if you give ibiki the answers he wants"

"so i should just lie then"

"lieing will not do you any good"

iruka bitterly stated back to the anbu.

"neither does telling the truth"

the anbu had no response for this, instead having a silent conversation with themselves above the chunin. it was only another hour of silence before ibiki rejoined the group.

"i was beginning to wonder if you were going to wake up"

"sorry to keep you waiting"

ibiki raised an eyebrow at the mans bitter tone. not bothering to comment ibiki reached for something too far out of irukas point of view. when he saw what ibiki held, iruka didnt even flinch as it was revealed which prompted ibiki to ask.

"you know what this is?"

"truth serum-propably high grade"

ibiki nodded, leaning over to get at the mans neck, iruka couldnt help but warn the man.

"you really shouldnt give me that"

pulling back ibiki frowned at the man.

"and why is that? are you allergic to it?"

"no-i just dont respond well to it"

ibiki shrugged his shoulders before leaning over and injecting the blue liquid into the mans body. iruka only flinched as the plunger was depressed allowing the vile contents to enter his bloodstream.

"that will take a minute or so to work, so just relax and let the drug do its work, dont bother to fight it. even my anbu cant completely overide its effects. i'll leave you in their capable hands then."

"what you getting tired of me"

ibiki snorted to the man, before replying.

"i have better things to do than listen to you ramble on, once the drug is in full effect i'll start questioning you"

with that ibiki left him to lay on the cold table, surrounded by anbu guards who were prepared to stop him if he struggled on the bed. he didnt bother to do such a thing, instead choosing to relax against the cold table and ponder over his current situation. he couldnt help but smile a little and turn to the anbu nearest to him.

"he really shouldnt have done that"

the anbu tilted their head at him, having gotten their attention. iruka couldnt help but snicker at the anbu. the drug already beginning to make him feel loopy.

"i-i told him, dont react well"

the anbu crossed their arms, reguarding the trapped chunin cooly. looking back to the ceiling, iruka used the last of his willpower to ask one final question before he succumbed to the drugs complete effects.

"what'll you do with my body?"

the anbu looked to one another, before stating.

"your not dead yet"

iruka shrugged before closing his eyes.

"feel that way"

the anbu didnt respond, so they fell back into silence. iruka didnt bother to strike up any more conversation with the anbu, especially since he could feel the drug starting to make him lose his inhibitions. he knew he was going to start rambling anytime now. he wasnt wrong, before he knew what he was doing he started talking nonsense.

" did the west gate fall? i thought i saw it fall"

before the anbu could answer his question he was moving ono another subject.

"my apartment was trashed from the attack, i wonder who will clean it up when im gone-do they have cleaning crews for after you guys get rid of some one or does that just fall to some genin team? seems to high profile for that-pft do you have to clean out my house"

the anbu frowned at the chunin's train of thought.

"mah-what kind of story will you come up with? will you say i was a traitor or will you say i died in the attack-no one would know the difference i suppose, but it would easier to tell the kids i died in the attack then try and explain what a traitor is-they dont compartmentalize those things very well"

sighing the anbu tried to get comfortable as the chunin went on and on. his train of thoughts were only getting darker and darker which revealed quite alot to the anbu.

"i would have liked to see the memorial stone-did it get damaged?"

there was a long pause, when no one answered him he asked again. the anbu then spoke up when the man didnt divert to another topic.

"it was undamaged"

"hmm oh thats good, i know so many people who go there to pray, it would be sad if it had to be replaced- so many names"

looking over to the tiger anbu who had genjitsu'd him he asked quite seriously.

"when your gonna kill someone, can you make them see just about anything? like a happy memory so they dont know whats happening to them"

the tiger anbu seemed a little uncomfortable with the question but answered the now distraught chunin.

"i suppose so"

"i'd like that-get to see my kids again, even if it was a lie"

the anbu looked to one another, the man seemed to be coming to peace with a fate that hadnt been judged on yet. the door suddenly opened to reveal ibiki, his arms crossed the interrogations specialist reguarded those in the room.

"he ready?"

the anbu nodded. approaching the chunin, he pulled out some paper and a pen, he was going to document everything that happened of consiquence.

"alright why dont we start with something easy. whats your name?"

"umino iruka"

"good, whats your rank?"

"chunin"

"alright whats your position?"

"currently im laying down on a very cold table"

sighing, ibiki rephrased the question.

"not your present position, what is your position in life?"

"pft i'd do either"

confused ibiki had the teacher clarify.

"clarify what you mean"

"i prefer to be on bottom, but i'd top for the right-"

"silence"

ibiki couldnt hold back a smirk as the man was willing to reveal his sexual predispadition. the anbu shifted in the room uncomfortably.

"whats your title"

"school teacher at konoha academy"

"alright now that we have those questions out of the way, why dont you tell me what it would take for you to betray konoha"

he dived right into the meat of things, wanting to know what the mans price was. the eyes had glazed over as the drug had taken full effect and he was no longer aware of what was going on around him. iruka just felt a warm sensation in his stomache and a feeling that he didnt need to hold back, he could just let everything out and everything would be ok.

"the kids"

"excuse me?"

"i'd do anything to protect the kids"

"so if someone threatened their life in exchange for your services you would do so"

iruka nodded his head. ibiki wrote down the information before continueing on.

"why didnt you testify against mizuki?"

"i loved him"

"he abused you-why would you not fight back?"

"i loved him"

frowning, ibiki tried a different way of phrasing things.

"did you like the abuse?"

shaking his head iruka explained a little more.

"i hated the pain-it always hurt to be with him, even if he wasnt hitting me"

"then why stay?"

"i couldnt let someone else go through that pain"

raising a brow ibiki questioned.

"so you stayed with your abuser so he wouldnt abuse someone else?"

"yes"

writing down the information, ibiki asked another question.

"when the third hokage asked you to testify against mizuki, why did you say no?"

"it was all my fault"

"explain"

" i always made him mad-i deserved it"

frown deppening, ibiki pressed further.

"so you believe that the abuse was justified?"

"yes"

"but just in case it wasnt you stayed with him to protect a nameless person who would have been his next target"

"yes"

writing down in his book, ibiki didnt like the way the questioning was going.

"who are you loyal to?"

"konoha"

"why?"

"its my home"

"your from wave"

iruka shook his head

"no, im from konoha"

writing down the mans response, ibiki continued to ask more questions of the drugged man.

"when mizuki stole the scroll and attacked you and the kyubi vessel, you protected the child even though it contained the beast that killed your family. why?"

"naruto-i he was just a child"

"and your visitation with mizuki?"

"i tried to get him help"

nodding his head ibiki, wrote some more in the book. it was one of the anbu who spoke next

"and did he respond to your help?"

ibiki glanced up to see the chunins reaction, other then a puzzled look on his face from all their questions he seemed to be doing just fine.

"no-he hates me"

"how do you feel about him"

"i miss him"

"why?"

"he's my friend"

frowning ibiki reclined in a chair opposite from the chunin.

"he abused you, attacked you and a student, why do you still consider him a friend"

"i dont-he was my friend, now i have nobody"

ibiki scribbled into his notebook, giving the chunin a second to collect his thought.

"you trained with orochimaru, what did he teach you?"

"everything"

"clarify"

"i can do anything, summon giant snakes, poison people, hurt them beyond recognition without leaving a trace i was there. i was trained to kill"

"and do you?"

"no"

"why"

"i dont want to be like him"

"you idealized your sensei, why do you want to be different from him"

"he was so kind to me-i miss that, but he's hurt so many"

"and this kindness he showed you would not sway you to join him?"

iruka shook his head.

"i could never join him- i dissapoint him"

raising a brow ibiki smiled, so they were getting to the heart of the matter.

"and would you try to redeem yourself in your sensei's eyes if he gave you the chance"

"i dont know"

smiling, ibiki wrote down the chunin's response before continueing.

"would you kill for him?"

"i dont know"

"would you kill the hokage?"

"no"

"would you kill the villagers?"

"no"

"who would you kill?"

"myself"

eyes widening, ibiki's frown returned.

"why would you do that?"

"to protect people from me"

sighing, ibiki changed the subject at hand. he wasnt getting the answers he had been hoping for.

"if given the chance to flee this place, would you escape"

"i never want to come back"

"would you do anything to get out of here"

"no"

"why not"

"the hokage wanted me here-so i will stay"

ibiki wrote down the mans response, thinking a moment he allowed the anbu to question the man before him as they saw fit.

"you say your alone, what about your students?"

"they leave me"

"you have comrades do you not"

"they dont know me"

"explain"

"no one knows about my past"

"so you hide from them"

"yes"

the anbu glanced around to each other, this man was more than he seemed to be, his apparent devotion to konoha was unquestionable.

"would you ever leave konoha?"

"yes"

"why?"

"if they sent me away, i would go"

"and would you betray the secrets of konoha to another shinobi village?"

"no"

"why not?"

"i'd be dead?"

"what makes you say that?"

"i'd kill myself"

ibiki frowned at the chunin, something was bothering him about this man.

"have you tried to kill yourself before?"

"yes"

"when"

" a couple days ago"

eyes widening, ibiki immidietly questioned.

"why"

"i didnt want to live"

"how did you attempt to do this?"

"snake venom"

frowning ibiki questioning grew darker.

"so you use your summons"

"yes"

"so earlier you lied to me about using your summons"

"yes"

writing down the information, he questioned the man.

"and why did you choose to use a snake?"

"harder to save"

"how many times have you tried to kill yourself?"

iruka shrugged, he couldnt remember. and stated as such.

"does anyone know of your suicidal tendincies"

"yes"

"who"

"the third hokage"

sighing, ibiki clarified.

"he's dead"

"yes"

"does anyone living know of your tendincies?"

"no"

standing abruptly he approached the chunin, the haze in the mans eyes was starting to fade. their time was running out to get truthful answer, for this session at least.

"do you want to kill me?"

"no"

"why not"

"the hokage has ordered this"

"and if the hokage ordered you to be tortured for the rest of your life?"

"then i would be"

"if she ordered your life, would you allow me to kill you?"

"yes"

writing something down in his notebook he nodded to the anbu and left. he had no more questions for the man presently. he would try again tomorrow after he had seen to his other guests down the hall. being left alone with the man, the anbu took the time to try their own hand at questioning him.

"do you wish to die?"

"yes"

"then why not make sure of it?"

" i deserve to die that way"

"from the snakes venom?"

"yes"

"why do you think that?"

"im a snake"

"how so"

"im hiding in plain sight, i could easily kill numerous people if provoked and be gone before anyone would be the wiser."

the anbu glanced from the chunin to one another. this man was turning out to be more of an enigma then they anticipated.

"do you have anyone you would like to see dead?"

"yes"

"who"

"my sensei"

"why"

"he doesnt deserve to live"

"because of what he's done in the past?"

"that and he killed the third, i owe him too much"

"the third?"

"yes"

"and why is that?"

"he took care of me, after my parents died, made sure i was looked after as much as he could from his position."

"so is it only because you owe the third so much that you would see your sensei dead, or do you have your own reasons to want him dead?"

"he took them from me"

puzzled as to what the man could mean they asked him to clarify.

"my teammates"

"he killed them?"

"no"

"then how did he take them from you?"

"they were scared of me"

the anbu rested themselves against the cold stone walls, contimplating everything that the man had said during his interogation. slowly they watched as the man's eyes began to clear. the hazyness falling away to reveal actual awareness.

"did you get what you wanted?"

he couldnt remember what he had told them, a side effect of the drug, but he knew he must have spilled his guts to them just as the drug intented him to do.

"some"

iruka tried to breath threw his nose, but it wasnt working. noticing that the man was having some difficulty they asked what was wrong.before iruka could respond he turned his head to the side and vomited, the anbu jumped into action to prevent the man from choking on his own vomit, they cut the cords and turned him on his side as he heaved. once he appeared done they allowed the man to lay back onto the table, they wanted to make sure he was truly done throwing up before they resecured his hands.

"does that always happen to you?"

"i dont react well to drugs"

the anbu nodded, iruka took the moment to wipe his mouth with his free hand, before placing it on his stomache. for whatever reason they werent immidietly tieing him back up and he was going to relish the ability to be even the slightest bit more comfortable.

"how do you react to snake venom?"

iruka closed his eyes, so he'd told them about that. looking to the side, the anbu went to help him back up but he held a hand up saying he was fine.

"depends on what kind"

"what kind have you used?"

iruka shrugged, not bothering to tell them that he'd tried just about every combination he'd come up with so far.

"did orochimaru make you immune to the venom?"

"he tried"

"why?"

"he said it was to get rid of my weakness"

"so he poisoned you when you were a genin?"

"yeah-he could never get rid of my ability to hurl after drugs though. that irked him to no end."

the anbu smiled behind their masks. the man seemed to be more willing to talk to them now for whatever reason and they were going to take it.

"what did the third say about you trying to kill yourself?"

"threatened me"

"with what?"

"sanitarium-taking my position away, stuff like that. it never worked though so i think he kinda gave up and just began to roll with the punches"

"you realize that we now know you have lied to us in the past about your summons"

iruka shrugged, not seeming to care about their opinion on the matter.

"that doesnt look good for you"

"nothing seems to lately"

the anbu remained quiet for a time, before one of them called down the hallway for someone to come and clean up the vomit. the wolf anbu approached him.

"are you done being sick?"

"i think so?"

reaching for his hand, iruka couldnt help but pull back suddenly. but rather than continue to try and hold himself away from the anbu he relinquished his hand to the man once he realized that he wasnt going to be struck. the anbu retied his hands to his side and moved back to the wall.

"if you feel sick again, let us know"

iruka nodded his head, he didnt know why but he felt like he could just talk to these anbu, that in the end at least someone would have listened to him, maybe not believed him, but at least listened.
