Konoha has caught Sasuke, and for his punishment, they torture him for information, information he doesn't have. As a result, Konoha breaks the young Uchiha and reduces his mind to that of a scared childs, a child who can easily forgive and easily be manipulated.

Pairings: Will I even have any? I dunno, perhaps, if so, i'll mention them elsewhere in later chapters. But look on my page and you'll find out which pairing i will not use.

The next chapter will have more action in it, so please stay with it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Prologue

This will have the Akatsuki in it, so yeah for Akatsuki fans.
The pain was excruciating, and it was radiating all over his body. He could feel blood pouring from his body, he could feel his head pounding like mad, he could feel his body being pierced, burned, scarred by many different means. He could feel their minds in his mind, twisting his thoughts and invading his memories.

They were torturing him,mentally and physically, for information he didn't have...information he'd never have. He wanted to scream, but his body had gone limp as more and more morphine pumped through his veins. He was strapped to a chair in dark room, his head down, and IV on his side while two ANBU stood beside his chair inflicting physical and mental torture upon him.

Please...he thought to himself, knowing the ANBU inside of his head could hear him...please just kill me.

Another kick to his already broken ribs, he heard the resounding crunch. His pupils may have shrunken slightly, but that's all. He showed no signs of being in pain, his head hung low, bushy bangs caked in blood and sweat shading his pale face. His hands were tied behind him, all circulation ceased preventing his chakra from reaching his finger tips.

His back was covered with bruises and cuts, welts and burns, as were his arms and just about every other inch of his body. Yet, they didn't stop, they wouldn't stop, not until they got what they wanted.

This had been going on for months, and in the beginning, Sasuke believed he could hold his own for the first few months, as he was the only one out of Taka being tortured, the rest deemed as Orochimaru's "failed" experiments. However, Sasuke's psyche was breaking, steadily breaking, and as another dose of morphine spread through his blood, Sasuke knew that he could no longer take it.

Death was better than this, anything was better than this. He couldn't move, yet his mind screamed in agony. He just wanted to die, he'd do anything to taste death now.

But not even life was that kind, Konoha wanted to break the Uchiha.

OOOOO

Sasuke was taken out of that dark room, free of his tortures a week after when he was reduced to a heap of blood and skin.

It was clear, almost certain, that the Konoha Intelligence could no longer get information out of Sasuke because he honestly didn't have it.

However, months of torture just couldn't be undone with one hospital visit. Sasuke was put into a coma, and for a while, Tsunade doubted he'd even wake up. However, the Sanin was bested, Sasuke woke up a month later, but he was different, very different.

Sakura was the first to realize the change. For an entire week, he never ate, he never drank, he never spoke, he didn't even leave his hospital room. He sat up, looking forward at the white wall in his white painted hospital room. His eyes were blank, his body bandaged.

Sakura tried to speak to him and tried to get him to eat, she even got Naruto to tag along (which he did so very willingly), and to their dismay, it seemed as if he was purposely ignoring them. However, Tsunade confirmed that it wasn't Sasuke's fault he wasn't responding, for deep in the depths of his mind, he was waging a mental battle, one which Tsunade feared he was losing.

When the week was over, changes in Sasuke could clearly be seen. No longer were his eyes blank, but they were wide and curious, like that of a childs. The instant his legs could work on their own again, he left his hospital room and caused a panic throughout all of Konoha.

Many believed he was evil, and ANBU as well as Chunin and up had been dispatched to capture him.

However, when the ANBU team cornered him, somewhere near a park, he didn't fight back. In fact, he seemed terrified. The instant the captain of the ABNU squad had spoken his name, he'd darted behind a tree and it took the sweetest voices of the female ANBU on the squad to coax him from his hiding place.

They escorted him back to the Hokage Tower, bloodshed avoided. It took longer than usual to get there, Sasuke asked a lot of questions, he pointed to a lot of things, but he never strayed from his ANBU companions. He clung on to them like a lifeforce.

Tsunade wasn't expecting such a relapse in Sasuke's head. She was astounded that he willingly followed his ANBU counterparts to her office, but she payed close attention to the fact that he didn't let them leave his sight as she spoke to him.

So, he was terrified of being alone?

Tsunade took a chance to test her theory, she dismissed the ANBU squad. Sasuke latched on to the closest on to him and refused to let her go. It wasn't a threatening gesture, but a fearful one.

"Sorry Sasuke," Tsunade said softly, "I didn't mean to scare you."

Though he looked distressed, Sasuke silently spoke up, "It's allright..I'm not mad."

"Hokage sama?" the girl, her voice high and timid asked, "What should I do?"

"Stay with him, Hinata," Tsunade replied to the ABNU, taking it that Sasuke felt comfortable with Hinata," take him to Naruto and Sakura, but stay with him, i'm assigning you as his caretaker."

Hinata's face flushed under her mask. But she nodded, nevertheless, grabbing a gentle hold on the taller boy's arm, Hinata escorted him out of the Hokage office and into the village.

So this is just the prologue, so that's why it's so vague. It's just explaining what happened to Sasuke and his current situation, I hope you like it. please review. God bless.
