the anbu released a breath they didnt know they had been holdiing. at least it appeared that the chunin had good intentions with the knowledge he had gained from the snake sanin.

"tell me iruka, are you dissapointed in yourself for dissapointing orochimaru?"

"yes"

the anbu winced, that was not a good answer.

"why"

"i only wanted to make him proud of me"

"and now knowing he isnt, how does that make you feel?"

"angry"

"angry? why?"

"cause i tried so hard to be a good shinobi, yet we just werent meant to remain on the same path."

"and do you think your a good shinobi?"

"no"

nodding his head, ibiki continued to write down some notes that the others couldnt see. whatever ibiki was writing, they couldnt help but call into question if it was for the good of the village or the good of iruka.

"alright iruka, if you could do anything right now, without any punishment, what would you do"

"punch you"

the anbu couldnt hide their smiles, not very many people ended up liking ibiki, especially after being on the recieving end of his interrogation techniques.

"thats all? you wouldnt want to kill me or anyone else?"

"no-though i might be tempted to lose all of their reports for a while and make them do them over again"

the anbu smiled, this was the type of character they had come to know of iruka,he had a temper yes, but he was good natured. ibiki smiled at the nin infront of him.

"alright just a couple more questions. the hokage wishes to know why you refused the thirds offer"

the anbu looked to ibiki not understanding what the man was talking about. iruka calmly explained.

"it was too much, i didnt deserve it"

"i see, so you didnt believe you would be strong enough for the position?"

iruka nodded, his head was starting to clear a bit, and it reflected in his eyes. ibiki pressed on anyways.

"you understand that it is a high honor to be granted such a position so close to the hokage, you would have effectivly been his right hand man"

the anbus eyes widened, iruka had been offered the position of regent to the hokage? shizune now held the position looking after the well being of tsunade, but if the third had really offered him such a position, why turn it down.

"i understand"

"why didnt you deserve it?"

"im tainted"

"what do you mean by tainted iruka?"

ibiki waited for the mans response but none came, instead the man just blinked a couple of times before shaking his head like a dog would.

"iruka, what do you mean your tainted?"

iruka looked up to ibiki owlishly. his eyes a little unfocused before replying.

"times up"

frowning at the chunin ibiki made sure to drive home a very important point.

"you wont be going anywhere until all my questions are answered"

iruka laid his head down and shrugged his shoulders he was fighting back the rising nasaue, calmly retorting to the man

"and you wont get answers unless you drug me"

ibiki growled under his breath before replying menicingly.

"you realize you could O.D. on truth serum."

"one could only hope"

turning away, ibiki quickly left the room without saying another word. looking back to their ward, they stared at hazel eyes that just blinked at them. that is until, he reached for the bucket they had placed near him, he heaved, but with nothing left in his system to throw up all he was doing was dry heaving. he spit into the bucket before laying back down.kakashi decided to advise him.

"you should have just answered him"

"where's the fun in that?"

iruka mummbled as he readjusted his head on his arm. kakashi frowned at the chunin. before asking.

"are you sure you dont enjoy torture?"

iruka didnt bother to respond at first before retorting the legendary copy nin.

"would you be so open with your past?"

kakashi didnt know quite what to say at that, but managed to reply.

"if ibiki was the one asking the questions i would answer."

"thats why were very different people"

the chunin let out a huff of air as he got as comfortable as he could. just staring straight ahead at the wall. the anbu looked to each other for clues as to how to make the chunin talk to them, to get more answers for ibiki to hopefully spare the chunin more truth serum. the screaming from down the hall began again and like some sick twisted theater iruka could almost count down to when ibiki would return to him. in the meantime he just tried to avoid talking with his 'comrades'.

"are you feeling any better?"

iruka didnt bother to reply to that question, instead choosing to close his eyes for just a moment. apparently he had had them closed too long because a battle worn hand touched his shoulder causing him to jerk awake. asuma pulled his hand back simply nodding to the chunin. iruka sighed, but didnt bother to try and close his eyes again. instead he went back to staring at the wall. it didnt take long for him to zone out again, just thinking on what was happening to him. then a horrible idea struck him, if he was gonna die who would tell naruto? he knew it would most likely fall to kakashi, glancing to the sharigan user he met the normal eye of the man before quickly looking away. taking a deep breath he tried to process everything that he knew. ibiki wasnt about to let him go, apparently having to many unaswered questions. having discovered their identities, he was in serious trouble with not only ibiki but the hokage. his loyalty to konoha was being torn apart infront of him and he was utterly alone while being surrounded by people he used to trust. finally he came up with what he thought would work out the best for everyone. looking to kakashi he frowned at the ninja gaining his undivided attention.

"what?"

he wasnt sure why the chunin was glaring at him above all people, but he was going to find out why.

"i need a favor"

raising an eyebrow he waited for the chunin to respond. they all did, wondering what on earth the chunin could be requesting of kakashi while in this prediciment.

"a favor? you realize that asking me to let you go is out of the picture right?"

iruka snorted at the anbu, he wasnt that stupid.

"honestly, why the hell would i try to ask that? no it concerns naruto"

"im listening"

biting his lip like he was prone to do in times of stress iruka broke out of his own thoughts to continue his conversation with the copy ninja.

"he's not gonna just accept that i became a traitor, if thats what they decide to go with, so your gonna have to either tell him the truth bluntly and i mean down to the detail bluntly or lie through your teeth like you've never lied before"

kakashi was a little astounded by the request but allowed the chunin to go on, he wanted to see where this was going. he wasnt the only one.

"it'll be easier if you say i died from complications from a wound or some bullcrap like that, he'll more than likely leave it alone, but he might request to see me, dont let him- just say he should remember me as i was or something, i dont want him to see me after this"

in truth the chunin looked like hell warmed over, he hadnt slept in days and had deep circles under his eyes and had some interesting patterns of bruising from where ibiki had slapped him.

" your jumping to conclusions that their going to order your death"

iruka shrugged before responding

"its better to be prepared for something then be overwhelmed by it"

kakashi nodded his head before saying.

"if it comes down to it, i'll make sure he's taken care of in reguards to you"

iruka smiled for the first time in a while, a true smile that they could tell, this wasnt a mean spirited one, but one of thanks. rolling onto his back, he groaned a bit before getting as comfortable as he could.idly he did wonder how his other students were doing, but he didnt have the heart to ask and find out. it was going to be hard enough to leave anyone of them behind. he didnt even flinch when ibiki came through the door, instead he just started counting cracks on the ceiling.

ibiki stared at the sight before him, all of his anbu were to on one side of the chunin and he had apparently interupted something by the way their faces displayed sorrow. turning to the chunin, he asked.

"telling sob stories iruka?"

"bite me"

ibiki's eyes widened, the chunin had balls he'd give him that. the anbu themselves were shocked at the chunins gal to talk to ibiki like that. instead of growing angry though, ibiki simply approached him,

" too much truth serum is bad for the body"

"who woulda guessed that"

frowning at the lippy chunin, he continued what he was going to say.

"so i've decided to give you a break from that, no point in melting your brain inside your skull"

iruka shrugged, not really paying attention to anything the nin was saying to him. he didnt struggle when his head was jerked to the side by a gloved hand, or when a needle was roughly shoved into his neck. he was prepared for what was about to happen, or so he thought.

it wasnt truth serum that had been pumped into him, it was the chakra surge concoction. iruka screamed, bucking and curling in on himself at the same time. the anbu jumped forward to pull him back, to try and prevent him from flailing about. kakashi forwned at ibiki, they should of had the teacher restrained properly before he did that. as it was, the chunin had crashed his head back against the table and managed to claw at his throat with his good hand. ibiki shook his head to his anbu, he wasnt in the business of caring for other people and he had a job to do.

"come and get me when its done"

with that he left the team to struggle to tie down the chunin as he fought to thrash around as his chakra raced through broken pathways.

iruka didnt know how much time had passed, all he knew was that he had lost his voice halfway through and couldnt even manage to make a sound as his body continued to be wracked with violent tremmors. his eyes were screwed tight as he endured the pain as well as he could, his mouth open in a silent scream, his hands were clenched shut digging fingernails into his palms. even his broken fingers had curled in a macabe display of tangled bone and flesh. finally the tremors began to subside, only aftershocks tremoring his body and causing random spikes of pain. allowing himself to sink into the table beneath him, he found himself idly wishing that he could just convince them to kill him. it wasnt worth it. his life would never be the same after this if he was proven to be innocent, he could never go back to his life before this. he vaguely heard genma say he would go get obiki, he didnt bother to open his eyes, he figured they knew he wasnt trying to sleep. he must of fallen unconciousis because he was suddenly being shaken rather roughly by ibiki. his arms and legs now untied from the table. groaning, ibiki threw him back down to the table.

"time to wake up"

iruka coughed weakly, somehow the air had become dusty to him. he rolled to his side and curled upon himself as much as he could comfortably, it wasnt much but it gave him some comfort.

"now are you feeling more cooroporative? i have a very simple question for you. what are your intentions"

iruka's mind couldnt wrap around the question, intentions? he thought he had already answered this question with everything else he had said, wasnt it clear that he didnt want to hurt anyone, well except for maybe himself.

"iruka"

coughing again, the chunin nodded his head to show he was listening. allowing his body to uncurl some he tried to relax as much of his body as he could, keeping it tightened did nothing for the pain radiating throughout his body.

"what do you mean"

it came out as barely a whisper, but ibiki heard him.

"your intentions, do you intend to stay in konoha for the rest of your life, or would you flee the city if given the opportunity? would you be loyal to our hokage or would you spill secret information to other countries. would you die for konoha?"

ah so this was what he wanted, he wanted iruka to say something that would damn him, after all the torture he expected iruka to want to high tail it out of konoha and betray them as fast as possible to the highest bidder. he couldnt help but let out a dry laugh, licking his lips he spoke.

"your a slow learner arnet you-konoha is my home"

ibiki grit his teeth at the first part, he didnt like be demeaned by some lowly chunin whose head he had on the chopping block.

"would you die for konoha?"

"just kill me"

it was barely a whisper but all the parties inside the room heard it. kurenai couldnt contain the gasp that left her lips. ibiki was frowning at the subject of his ire. this man had broken, that much was sure, but how much of a danger was he to the village like this?

"so you still think killing yourself is the answer?"

iruka didnt bother to reply, he simply shut his eyes and relaxed as another tremor rocked his wiry frame. looking to his anbu he silently asked their opinion on the matter. it was obvious that they couldnt completely detach themselves from the fact that they knew the man, but they also hadnt done anything to stop the progression of the case.

"alright iruka, if you would rather take the cowards way out, that can be arranged"

iruka nodded his head, not bothering to open his eyes. he felt as light as a bird, finally it was all going to end. they wouldnt be able to torture him anymore and he would be free to see his parents again, if kami deemed him worthy enough to pass over. a small smile graced his lips as ibiki called for the anbu to join him out in the hall, mildly yelling over his shoulder to iruka to stay put. the man raised a hand and flipped him off.

upon shutting the door, the anbu waited for ibiki to speak to them about the chunin.

"the council has deemed him a threat"

the anbu lowered their heads, they understood what that meant. even if the chunin wasnt suicidal, he wouldnt be getting out of this mess unscathed.

"as such, the hokage is making arrangements for him to be transfered to a more permanent location, once that is ready we will escort him to his new quarters and his sentence from the hokage will be carried out within the following week depending on her schedule. any questions?"

the anbu shook their heads, there was nothing more they could do for the chunin beside try to be his friend as they guarded him through his final moments. ibiki nodded his head and turned to leave, he stopped himself and managed to say.

" for what its worth, i think he was a good teacher"

with that said, ibiki continued down the hall to enter his next guests quarters. re-entering the room they found iruka just where they had left him, with only a slight change. he was sitting up and poking his leg.

"what are you doing?"

"its numb, probably because of the pathways, but it feels weird."

they simply nodded to the chunin's evaluation. iruka stopped poking himself only to look down at his mangeld hand, it reallly did hurt, he couldnt deny that, but there was no way he could straighten the fingers on his own. deciding to chance it he asked.

"can one of you straighten out my fingers?"

the anbu were a little surprised by the sudden request, but asuma came over and gently took his hand, examining the damage to the digits that were now twisted in the wrong direction.

"you sure?"

"why the hell not, it might hurt but at least then it will not look all jacked up"

nodding his head, asuma grasped one of the chunins bent fingers and with a sharp crack made it straight again. iruka didnt cry out at the pain, he had no voice left for that, but he did bite his lip. asuma glanced at him waiting for him to tell him to continue, with a nod he moved onto the next finger. this continued until all of the fingers were facing the right direction again. asuma then returned to kurenai's side to merely watch the injured chunin. they didnt know what to think about iruka, it was like the decision that he wouldnt make it had just cleared the chunin's head and he was just excepting it.

"i dont suppose i could sleep now could i?"

raido shook his head before clarifying.

"were gonna be moving you soon, so just wait until we get to the new location and then you can sleep"

nodding his head iruka tilted his head to the side before asking.

"new location? you guys are gonna be watching me, dont they have other people to do things like that."

"your to be moved to secure location until sentence is carried out"

"ah, how long?"

"until we move you, an hour or so-"

"no until sentencing"

"a week or more depending on the hokage's schedule"

iruka didnt seem impressed by this and simpley stated matter of factly.

"one of you could do it and it would be done, why the wait?"

they winced at the cold hard fact that the chunins life was literally in their hands right now. iruka didnt seem to notice their revulsion to his claim of how easy it would be for them to kill him.

"everyone is given a chance to speak with the hokage before their sentencing, your case is no different"

iruka shrugged,before asking.

"cant i just waive my right to that?"

they looked to one another, they werent sure about that, they would have to ask ibiki, but it was kurenai who asked.

"iruka, you realize this is your life at stake"

the chunin nodded his head to the red eyed beauty before him. he smiled up at her and said.

" there's really no point to all this-nothings going to change between now and then"

as they were about to rebute the chunins words, another anbu came into the room and spoke swiftly saying it was time to move him. iruka couldnt help but call out.

"umm how ya gonna do that, my legs dont work at the moment"

the man glarred at him from behind his mask, it didnt go unnoticed by the chunin but by now he was just too tired to care.

" a med nin will be provided to make you moveable"
