Kakuzu narrowed his eyes and stared at the jail cell's hard dirty floor. His hands were sore and tied up in shackles, and had scars all over his beaten body by being punished by the Waterfall village.

Kakuzu always had been loyal to the Waterfall vilage, but when he failed on his mission to assassinate the First Hokage, the Waterfall village elders became angered and punished Kakuzu for his failure.

The jail cell opened, and Hisashi, one of the village elders walked in and glared at Kakuzu. Kakuzu didn't look up and only heard faint voices from outside the cell. "He's been locked up in that cell for about a week now, do think he learned his lesson?" "Psh, far from it." "If you ask me, they should keep that monster locked up in his cell forever." The voices became louder. "All the village people are terrified of him, did you ever see his eyes or his face?"

"Silence." Hisashi ordered with a low, deep voice. The voices immediately stopped and turned their attention towards Kakuzu's cell. Hisashi stared at Kakuzu and frowned. "Look at you, once a strong eilte ninja from the Waterfall and now you're nothing but a shame to the village." "Tell me, why did you fail in your mission?"

Kakuzu didn't answer.

"Tell me Kakuzu..." Hisashi impatiently growled.

Kakuzu looked up at Hisashi with complete hatred in his eyes. "The Waterfall village is nothing but a pile of worthless scum." "I swore me loyalty to the village and fought for it, and this is how you replay me?"

Hisashi whipped around and left Kakuzu's jail cell, allowing the jail guards to close the cell door behind him. "Punish him." Hisashi whispered to the jail guards and continued walking towards the exit.

Everything was quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was Hisashi's loud boots and the punches, kicks that were coming from Kakuzu's jail cell, and the faint coughing from Kakuzu.
