Chapter 2
Week One
Sasuke sat back on the floor with his back against the cool tile of the tub. He was sitting in his bathroom next to his toilet for the third day in a row now. For the past three days now he kept waking up feeling sick. It would pass around lunch time, but each morning for the past three days had been like this. The moment he woke up he felt sick to his stomach. He couldn't keep anything down anymore. All he had been able to eat was bland toast, soup and salted crackers. It was like this bizzare flu he seemed to have caught. He was fine later on in the afternoon, but even still eating anything more complex always made his stomach turn. He hadn't even been able to go anywhere because he was so tired and nauseous all the time. Sasuke had an appointment with Kabuto today and he was hoping he would be able to tell Sasuke what was wrong with him. His stomach hurt every now and then, but Sasuke knew it was from the surgery. He wasn't worried about that, he was more worried about being sick all the time anymore.
Sasuke slowly got up on shaky legs and rinsed his mouth out once again. He needed to get into the shower and start getting ready to head out to his doctor's appointment. He was hoping he would be able to make it there without throwing up. Sasuke was nervous and worried about starting light training today. He had no idea how he was going to get through it feeling like this. He didn't want to be throwing up all afternoon in front of anyone, much less a squad of ANBU. Sasuke had the flu before so this wasn't anything new to him, he was normally better by now. Sasuke tried to clear his head with the warm water, but it only made him even more lightheaded. Once his hair was clean Sasuke got out and dried off. He sat down on the side of the tub to try and get his head cleared and back to normal. He wasn't feeling sick anymore, but he knew that would come back shortly if he wasn't careful. Sasuke let out a shaky breath before he stood up and headed into his bedroom to get dressed. He just wanted to get this over and done with quickly. He wanted his bed and to sleep this flu away. Sasuke put on his normal clothes, there wasn't any point in getting dressed for much else. He would be given a uniform he would need to change into anyways.
Once he was dressed he grabbed a bottle of water to take with him to hopefully fix his lightheadedness. With that he made his way out and headed towards the hospital. This was the first time in four days that he had been outside. When he was released from the hospital he went straight home not in the mood to deal with anyone. Sakura and Naruto had come by later on that first day to check in on him. Sasuke was thankful when they didn't ask him any questions about his new specialized squad. Sasuke truly wasn't in the mood to talk about it. He knew he should be feeling grateful for this opportunity, but all he felt was dread. Sasuke arrived at the hospital and after telling the nurse why he was here, he was guided to an exam room to wait. Sasuke was hoping this wouldn't take too long. He just wanted to get this day over with so he could curl up in bed. It was ten minutes later when the doctor walked in.
"Hello Sasuke-kun. How are you feeling today?" Kabuto asked with a warm smile.
"Not great. I've been sick for the past three days. I think I got the flu."
"Well let me have a look. It's not uncommon for someone to catch a cold or the flu from being in the hospital. Some patients also will get sick right after surgery. It's their body's way of adjusting to the loss organ, even if that organ is useless. I'll take some blood first and then I'll check your incision."
"How long am I going to be sick for?" Sasuke asked as Kabuto grabbed the blood collection kit.
"It's hard to say. Everyone is different. If you have the flu it can be hard to get rid of if you are working your body too much. With your new training and missions you might find that you are often rundown and sick. It's natural when you push your body. You must have experienced that growing up with being in the academy. You don't become the number one rookie for nothing."
"Ya I guess. I trained hard, but I also made sure I ate and slept right so my body wouldn't get rundown and not work."
"You might find that it is harder this time around. ANBU are not to be taken lightly. Their training is very physical and intense. Most new members come in here with all sorts of injuries from training. You'll need to be careful, especially with your stomach. After a surgery like this your stomach is more sensitive to internal bleeding. I'll give you some vitamins though to help keep you nourished."
"Thanks. I can't seem to keep anything down anymore."
"Have you tried plan toast or soup?"
"Ya I've been able to eat those in the past three days, but never in the morning."
"Tea will help soothe your stomach and salted crackers or chips. Young people often have lower blood pressure so you can afford to eat the extra salt. Lots of water and if nothing else popsicles are good for electrolytes. Try and rest as much as you can when you are not training or on mission. Your body will eventually adjust to the new routine."
Kabuto finished the blood collection and then moved on to check Sasuke's blood pressure.
"What kind of injuries do most of the ANBU come in with?"
"Well I can't give you anything specific, but in general it's mostly broken bones, bruises and cuts. Some just come in for an STD check."
"STD? What is that?"
"My you are young. Sexual transmitted diseases."
Kabuto moved on to listen to Sasuke's heart and his breathing.
"How would they even get that?" Sasuke didn't really get the whole sex education with his parents being dead.
"They get it through sex. Hasn't anyone ever had this conversation with you before?"
"No."
"Then you should do some research. Sometimes an ANBU has to have sex or do sexual acts with a target to get close enough to them to kill them or steal information from them. You being young doesn't mean that a target might not like what he or she sees."
"You think I'll have to have sex?" Sasuke asked horrified at the idea.
"I don't know. But it has happened on missions, more often than you would expect. Better to be prepared than not. You should do some research on it just in case. Now, lay back I'm going to check your incision and use the ultrasound to make sure everything inside is healing correctly."
Sasuke still stunned by the whole sex with a target thing just laid down like he was told. Kabuto moved the ultrasound machine over so he could easily reach it. He pushed Sasuke's shirt up and was glad to see the stitches were healing nicely. Kabuto turned the ultrasound on and made sure that the screen was facing towards him. He wouldn't have to worry about the sound just yet as the embryos didn't have a heartbeat yet.
"In a week you will come back here for me to do my final check up with you. I'll do another ultrasound to make sure everything internally is healed to be able to clear you for active duty. It's only a precaution so don't worry about that."
"What if I'm still sick?"
"ANBU don't get time off for being sick, unless you are throwing up blood. You will just have to adapt I'm afraid."
Kabuto kept his eyes on the screen and was very pleased to see that the two embryos were doing very well. They had stayed attached and had started to grow slightly. Sasuke was only a week along, but still it was a good sign that the surgery took. Normally he wouldn't be able to see an embryo on an ultrasound machine, but in this case he knew what to look for and how much he needed to magnify the image. For now everything was going exactly as it should be. Kabuto couldn't wait to document his findings every week. This was going to make him world known.
"Everything is healing nicely Sasuke-kun." Kabuto said as he used a towel to wipe off the gel.
"So I'm cleared?"
"For light duty yes. You should go and report directly to Danzo now. He'll be expecting you. Though, you already missed the training slot for your squad I believe. Most train very early in the morning so they can be ready for any mission that may come up. Danzo will be able to give you that information though. As for you, I will see you in another seven days for your final check up."
"Ok." Sasuke said as he got up and off the bed.
Kabuto went and grabbed a bottle of multivitamins and handed it to Sasuke. "Take two a day and you should start to feel better soon. Drink lots of water and try to get some rest."
"Thanks. I guess I'll see you in a week then."
"Take care Sasuke-kun." Kabuto said with a friendly smile before he opened the door.
Sasuke took his cue and left. He made his way towards the Hokage Tower so he could get this meeting over and done with. He placed the bottle in his pocket so no one would see them. He didn't think taking vitamins was a bad thing, but he didn't need anyone giving him any problems over it, mainly Danzo. Sasuke didn't know if that would be perceived as a weakness or not by the man and Sasuke wasn't in the mood to find out. Sasuke was hoping that since he missed training today that he would be able to go back home to bed and start tomorrow. Sasuke had no idea how early they got up to train, but with any luck it wouldn't be too bad. He was used to getting up at six every morning to be at training for seven, with any luck ANBU training wouldn't be much earlier.
Sasuke arrived at the Hokage Tower and headed straight for Danzo's office. He didn't want to be anywhere near him, but he knew better than to make the man mad. Sasuke knocked on the door and waited until he was given permission to enter. He walked in and saw that Danzo was alone once again in his office. Sasuke went over to the spot where he was directed to once before and got down on his knees with his head in a submissive bow. It took everything in him to do this, but he knew that it was expected of him. If he was going to survive this he had to play by the rules, even when everything in him was screaming for him to rebel. Sasuke thought Danzo would speak right away, but the man had other plans. He continued to work on whatever paperwork he was doing, not even bothering to acknowledge Sasuke's presence. Sasuke stayed like that for an hour just waiting for when Danzo would finally speak. An hour of kneeling on the cold and hard floor. The floor had hard grooves in it so it hurt and was digging into his knees. His stomach was also doing somersaults and Sasuke was doing everything he could to not get sick in this man's office.
"You have been cleared medically for light duty. You will be training with your new squad every day and then released until you are cleared for active duty. Your uniform, mask and katana are here for when I am finished with you. Your codename will be Worm and you will be placed on squad thirteen. They are the village's Hunter-nins. Nod if you know what that means." Danzo said the last part in a condescending tone.
Sasuke had no choice though, but to keep his head still. He had no idea what a hunter-nin was. He heard Kakashi mention it once with Zabuza, but he didn't go into it.
"Hunter-nins are assassins. They are given a target to kill and they cut off the target's head to bring back as proof. Sometimes they were required to torture the target to gather information. They will train you on how to torture someone properly. Training begins at four in the morning in training ground six. They have been briefed on you joining them and your condition. They will take it easier on you until you are cleared for active duty. You will not be late for any training nor will you miss any. If you do, you will be reprimanded for your disobedience. You will be reprimanded for every time you go against what any of the squad members say. You are out ranked by all of them. You are the dirt they walk on. You will obey every single order or you will be punished for it. Any show of weakness or hesitation will be punished. Do you understand?" Danzo said in a deadly tone that made Sasuke shiver.
Sasuke gave a nod, too afraid to even try to speak in case he wasn't allowed. Sasuke heard Danzo getting up out of his chair. He still kept his head down, but he could hear Danzo moving around so he was behind him now.
"ANBU's identities are meant to be kept a secret. You told Kakashi about yourself. You went against one of the sacred rules. That cannot go unpunished. Remove your shirt now." Danzo snapped.
That was the very last thing that Sasuke wanted to do, but he also knew any hesitation and it would only be worse. Sasuke removed his shirt and placed it down beside him. He had zero idea of what was about to happen. His mind kept going over what Kakashi had told him about weakness and showing it, even for a second. Sasuke knew that no matter what happened he had to keep quiet.
"I expect my ANBU to be of the highest level. I expect for them to know the rules and live by the rules. When one of those rules is broken you will be punished accordingly. Ten lashes, each violation the number will go up."
Sasuke just barely had the chance to brace himself when Danzo brought his cane down across his back with all of his strength. Sasuke clenched his teeth together to keep from making a sound. Danzo was relentless though. He made sure each hit was at full strength and went across his back, all over it. Sasuke wouldn't be able to lie on his back for easily a week and every hit to it would hurt. He would have to be careful during training until it was healed. Sasuke stayed there counting each and every hit. He knew it would be ten so he at least had something to count towards. When the tenth finally came across his back Sasuke thought he could actually cry in relief. His whole back was on fire and he could have sworn he felt blood. Sasuke heard Danzo move back to his desk.
"After each training session you will come back here and wait. I will receive a daily report on your progress. If I feel you have been inadequate you will be punished accordingly before you are dismissed for the day. Get dressed, grab your gear and get out of my sight."
Sasuke didn't waste a moment before he grabbed his shirt and put it back on. He then got up doing his best to ignore the pain from his back and his knees. He grabbed the gear off the desk and made his way out of the room. Sasuke walked as quickly as he could out of the Hokage Tower. He needed fresh air to try and settle his stomach. His back was killing him. Sasuke could feel the blood on his knees from the floor. He just wanted to get home. He didn't want to see anyone, he just wanted to be alone to his own misery. The only thing worse than the pain was the shame. He knew logically he had no reason to be ashamed of what happened to him. He had no control over it, Danzo had no right to do that to him. Yet, he felt ashamed. He felt like it was something he needed to hide from everyone. As if he had done something to deserve it. It made no sense, but he couldn't help but feel this way.
Sasuke was so absorbed in his own thoughts that he didn't hear Kakashi calling his name. Sasuke went into his apartment above a restaurant and immediately went into his bathroom. He just barely made it to the toilet before he collapsed onto the floor and threw up.
Kakashi had been on his way to Sasuke's apartment. He had been worried about Sasuke for the past four days. He hadn't gone by to check in on Sasuke because he was sent out on a quick C-Ranked mission with the team. Naruto and Sakura were happy to be going on a mission, but it was a different atmosphere without Sasuke there with them. Kakashi also found himself being more on edge now that he didn't have Sasuke around. He had never realised how much he had relied on Sasuke to add some extra insurance to security. Sasuke had strong senses and he was able to detect someone further away than a normal ninja. Kakashi's senses were heightened from his natural clan's abilities and then with the ANBU. It was different without Sasuke on the team. They were missing a vital part of their team and it wasn't a part that could easily be replaced and one deeply felt. Now that they had returned Kakashi wanted to see Sasuke and make sure he was healing well after his surgery.
Kakashi saw Sasuke walking towards him, on his way to his apartment. Kakashi was immediately concerned with how Sasuke looked. He looked horrible. He was pale, shaky and he was staggering slightly. Kakashi had called out to him, but Sasuke didn't even acknowledge that he had heard him.
Kakashi went to Sasuke's apartment and didn't even bother to knock. He walked right in and as he was about to call out for Sasuke he heard the sound of someone throwing up. Kakashi went into the bathroom and saw Sasuke bent over the toilet throwing up. Kakashi could see the misery all over Sasuke's face. This wasn't something new to him. Kakashi grabbed a cloth from the side of the sink and ran it under some cool water. This whole time Sasuke hadn't even said anything and Kakashi was starting to wonder if he even knew anyone was here. Kakashi bent down and placed the cool cloth on the back of Sasuke's neck to try and help to settle his stomach. At the cool contact Sasuke snapped his eyes over to Kakashi, the shock confirming what Kakashi had expected.
"It's ok Sasuke. How long have you been sick?"
"Few days now."
The exhaustion was clear in Sasuke's voice. Kakashi's heart went out to him. It was no fun being sick, much less so soon after surgery. It had to be hurting his stitches.
"Did you go to the doctor today?"
"Ya, said it was probably the flu. But he said sometimes it can happen where a person's body reacts this way to losing an organ."
"Did he give you anything to help?"
"He gave me some vitamins, but that's it. He said rest."
"So then you weren't cleared for light duty."
Kakashi had to admit he was relieved with Sasuke being sick. He at least wouldn't have to deal with training. He knew Sasuke was cleared for light duty even with it being so soon after surgery, but with him being this sick he wouldn't have to worry about it just yet.
"No he cleared me. I start tomorrow."
Sasuke moved slightly so he wasn't on his knees. They were both hurting him and the cold hard tile of his bathroom floor was not helping him any. Kakashi instantly noticed the blood on Sasuke's knees and was alarmed.
"Sasuke what happened to your knees? Did you fall?"
Kakashi reached out to touch Sasuke's left knee, but Sasuke moved back slightly and kept his head down, a clear sign to Kakashi that something was bothering Sasuke.
"It's nothing."
"Nothing eh? Well they need to be cleaned, it looks like some dirt is in them."
Kakashi placed a hand on Sasuke's back gently as he stood up. He was not prepared for the small scream that came from Sasuke's mouth. Kakashi instantly removed his hand and gave Sasuke a hard look.
"What happened to your back Sasuke?"
"It's nothing." Sasuke said again, refusing to make eye contact with Kakashi.
"I let you get away with that for your knees. I'm not letting you get away with it again. "
"I don't want to talk about it." Sasuke said softly and Kakashi could hear the shame in his voice, something Kakashi had never heard before from Sasuke.
Kakashi bent back down so he was at eye level with Sasuke once again. This time he made sure he didn't put a hand on Sasuke's back.
"Why not Sasuke?" Kakashi made sure he kept his tone gentle so Sasuke knew he wasn't trying to interrogate him.
"It's embarrassing." Sasuke admitted so softly that Kakashi almost didn't hear him.
"Oh. Well, I've done some pretty embarrassing things in my time. But none that have ever caused me that level of pain that you seem to be trying to hide with everything in you. Did you get hurt today?"
Sasuke gave a small nod, still not making eye contact with Kakashi.
"Did you do it to yourself?"
"No. Maybe. I don't know."
"Oh sounds complicated. I'm pretty good at figuring out complicated problems. I told you Sasuke that I would be in your corner. That you could tell me anything. I'm not going to laugh or judge you. I won't make fun of you. If you tell me what happened I can help you. I can't if I'm working in the dark."
"That's the problem. I told you about being in the ANBU and I wasn't supposed to. I broke a rule. It is my fault. This is my fault." Sasuke said sadly still looking down.
"Sasuke, I'm going to ask you something and I need an honest answer out of you. Even if you think you're not supposed to tell me. I need you to be honest with me. Do you understand?"
Sasuke just gave a nod.
"Did Danzo hurt you?"
"It was my fault." Sasuke said with a shaky voice filled with shame.
"No it wasn't Sasuke. Look at me." Kakashi placed his hand gently on Sasuke's chin to force his head up. Kakashi could see the shame and pain in Sasuke's eyes and he never wanted to see it again. Kakashi wasn't going to let Sasuke blame himself for something that Danzo did to him. He would not let Danzo break this kid. "Nothing that he did to you is your fault. You didn't deserve it. You didn't know you couldn't tell me. He never told you otherwise. This is not your fault. That is what he wants you to believe. He wants to break your mind so you will be too afraid to go against what he says. Do not let him break you Sasuke. Don't let him manipulate you like this. You have nothing to be ashamed of."
"It doesn't feel like that." Sasuke softly admitted.
"I know, but you need to remember that it's not your fault. That you have done nothing wrong, even if he says you have. He wants you weak Sasuke. He wants to break your spirit so he can control your power. He wants you as a weapon and nothing more. It's what he does. You can't let him. Did he do that to your knees?"
"Not really. He makes me kneel on this spot on the floor until I have earned his respect. He kept me there for an hour before he decided to address me." Sasuke said as he eyes slipped down once again.
"He's a bastard that gets off on the pain of others. I need to clean your knees and I need to see your back Sasuke. Will you let me?"
"I don't think I'm supposed to tell anyone."
"Everyone is supposed to get medical care when they are injured, especially ANBU. You wouldn't be going against Danzo's rules and I'm not going to say anything if asked. You can trust me Sasuke. I promise you I'm not going to tell anyone. I'm not going to put you in greater danger. I'm on your side, even if that means I have to lie to Danzo or the Third. Please let me look you over."
Sasuke was quiet for a moment before he gave a nod. He was in a lot of pain and he had no idea what condition his back was in.
"I'll do your knees first ok?"
Kakashi really wanted to see Sasuke's back, but he had a feeling Sasuke needed to work up to that. Sasuke just gave a nod and Kakashi opened the bottom cupboard under Sasuke's sink. He grabbed the first aid kit and Sasuke moved slightly so Kakashi could see both knees. They were both cut up with dirt and blood in them. Kakashi began to clean the cuts as Sasuke spoke, still in a softer tone that Kakashi was quickly hating the sound on Sasuke's voice.
"Can I ask you something?"
"You can ask me whatever you'd like Sasuke. It's part of growing up. Asking questions and discovering those answers. It's how people learn, especially with a growing mind like yours."
"What are the rules for ANBU? Danzo said every time I break a rule I'll be punished. But I don't know the rules and asking seemed like a bad idea."
"It would have been. The rules are simple. You don't reveal yours or anyone's identities. You don't fail your missions. You show respect to every member. You do as you are instructed by any senior member. You don't hesitate on a mission and you show no emotions. Basically, do as you are told or expected to do and you'll be fine."
"What if I can't do it? He put me on squad thirteen. He called them the Hunter-nin squad."
Kakashi stopped what he was doing and looked at Sasuke. He felt complete dread flooding his body. That was no squad for a twelve year old boy to be in. Not even Itachi was in it. That squad sucked any form of humanity out of a person. It turned them cold and dark. It destroys people. Sasuke was far too young for that world. It was bad enough he was in the ANBU, but he did not belong in that squad.
"That son of a bitch. You have no place being in that squad. No one your age has ever been placed in it. Not even Itachi. There is no can't do it in that squad. If you don't they will turn on you and kill you right then and there. It would be an act of betrayal if you refused to follow through on an order. They hold no mercy. They train very early and go for hours without breaks. They have years of training under them that makes it so they can go days without sleep. They can survive off an hour or two a night from years of practice. They rarely stop long enough to drink water. They won't hold back with you. They won't care how young you are. Anything they train you on will be for torturing someone. They won't train you to fight or jutsus. They'll hold your brother's actions against you. It's the worst squad for you to be on."
"Great. I'm going to die before I can even kill my brother." Sasuke said completely defeated.
"You are not going to die. I'm going to train you and be here for you. We'll get you through this together. Danzo won't keep this up forever, he'll get bored and move on to someone else. You just need to survive long enough for that to happen. You can do this Sasuke. I believe in you and I am here for you no matter how bad it gets."
Kakashi went back to cleaning Sasuke's knees. Sasuke stayed quiet and watched Kakashi work. He didn't really know what to say about any of this. He didn't want any of this to be happening, but he was trapped in it. Trapped in his own version of Hell it felt like. Sasuke knew him being sick and tired was only making it all seem that much worse. Sasuke was hoping he would be able to get some sleep and hopefully wake up feeling better tomorrow. Kakashi had just finished putting bandages on his knees when Sasuke's stomach flip. Sasuke moved to the toilet and threw up once again. What was annoying was the fact that all he had in his stomach was water. He hadn't been able to eat anything yet today because of it being so upset. Kakashi picked up the cloth and dabbed it against Sasuke's neck and forehead to help try and soothe his stomach.
"When was the last time you ate anything?" Kakashi asked as Sasuke sat back slightly once again.
"The night I got home from the hospital was the last actual meal. I haven't been able to keep anything down since the next morning. I woke up sick. It's annoying because I'll be sick all morning long until late in the afternoon, but then I'll be feeling better. I can eat soup and drink water without any problems. Then the next morning it's the same thing all over again. And the smells from downstairs are not helping. They don't normally bother me, but for some reason this time around I can't stand half of them. They instantly turn my stomach."
"I think you just need some good rest and be able to actually eat something real again. Your body is so rundown from being sick and the surgery it's making this all worse. Try some ginger tea that will help soothe your stomach. Ginger is very good for it. And when you can eat maybe try some plain rice instead of soup. Let me look at your back and then you can curl up in bed and try to sleep. What time do you have training tomorrow?"
"Four a.m. I have to be up at three just to be there on time. I don't know how long it will go to."
"Normally until twelve, sometimes a little earlier. You're body cannot handle eight hours of training. Not like this."
"Don't have a choice."
"I know."
Sasuke went and started to remove his shirt. Kakashi helped him and he was sickened by the sight in front of him. Sasuke's back was covered in ten lashes. They were red, swollen and some had blood running from them. Kakashi knew these came from Danzo's cane. The bastard had actually caned Sasuke. He was caned for making a simple mistake. Sasuke didn't know he wasn't allowed to talk about being placed in the ANBU with anyone and he certainly didn't know he couldn't talk about it with past ANBU members. He didn't deserve this at all.
"Oh Sasuke, I'm so sorry."
"It's my fault. I should have known better than to talk about it with anyone. I should have known that from Itachi. It's my fault."
"No it's not. This is not your fault. You didn't do anything to deserve this. You need to say it Sasuke. You need to say that this isn't your fault."
"Saying it won't change how I feel."
"Yes it will. If you say it enough times, you will start to believe it. You need to say it Sasuke."
"It's not my fault." Sasuke said softly.
"Louder."
"It's not my fault." Sasuke repeated at normal voice.
"Good. Keep saying it. Whenever you feel guilty over this, say it. I won't let him break you. I will not lose you to that piece of garbage. I need to clean your back and put some bandages around it. This will hurt though until it's healed in two weeks. They're gonna scar though Sasuke. Nothing will fix that."
"Uchihas aren't supposed to have any marks on their skin. It was always a sign of weakness and disgrace in the clan. Their skin was supposed to remain pure. They would make me an outcast if they saw this. These scars are just the first of many more to come."
"It's not your fault Sasuke. Even they would see that." Kakashi said sadly as he picked up what he needed to start cleaning Sasuke's back.
"Do you think the dead can see us?"
"I'm not sure what I believe. Their bodies go into the ground and become one with the dirt. I believe their souls go somewhere, but where I don't know. Maybe they go to a place of peace or maybe they stay here with us watching over their family. I honestly don't know. But one day, decades from now, you'll be able to get that answer when you die of old age."
"I'll be lucky if I live long enough to see my fifteenth birthday at this rate. I was just curious."
"I'd imagine you get curious a lot. You have a very high IQ score, that always leads to curiosity and a wide interest."
"We were never allowed to ask questions growing up. It was forbidden. You were expected to do as you were told and never ask why. Especially why. My father hated that question. If you didn't understand something or know something you were to keep quiet about it and then go and look it up in the library. An Uchiha couldn't appear as if they were incompetent by asking questions. The only exception was when you were on a mission and needed to know something vital to the mission."
"My father was the exact opposite. He loved questions. It didn't matter what type of question they were or what topic it was. If he knew the answer he told me and the times he didn't we would look it up together. Even when I was very little and he would read to me. He was never annoyed when I would interrupt with questions about something in the book."
"Itachi used to be like that with me. He taught me how to read. But then father got mad that he was getting too close to me. Said Itachi couldn't afford to be human and I was his humanity. Your father was a great shinobi. Why would he let you ask so many questions?"
"Because like I said, that is how a young mind grows. No questions are off limits. The mind should be free to learn and question any topic. You can always ask me any questions Sasuke and I will do my best to answer them or find the answers to them should I not know. I won't find it annoying and I won't lie to you. You never have to hesitate with me."
"Even if I asked you about why you wear that mask or are always late?"
"They are hard emotional questions, but yes I would answer them for you."
"But you know I would never ask them." Sasuke easily understood.
"Because you know what emotional pain is truly like and you know that the answers to those questions requires a deep emotional bond and trust with the person. Just like I wouldn't ask you about the night your Clan was killed. Anything else though I'm pretty much open to."
"There is one question I've been wondering and it doesn't seem like the type of question I should be looking up in the library." Sasuke said hesitantly.
"Ask away."
"How do you get an STD?"
"What?" Kakashi asked shocked as his hands stopped. That was not the question that Kakashi was prepared for, or ever would be prepared for.
"Is that an inappropriate question?" Sasuke wasn't strong in the social skills. He wasn't working at a deficiency, but having no parents to help guide you through some of the social aspects of your life did make it harder at times to blend in with everyone.
"To ask a librarian, yes. To me, no. I was just shocked that that was the question on your mind today."
"I asked the doctor about what types of injuries ANBU often came in with. He said that STDs can be common. He told me they were sexually transmitted diseases, but when I asked how someone gets one he just said to do some research on it. Without any parents I couldn't get consent for the sex education at the academy. I haven't read any books on it yet. You don't have to answer if it's uncomfortable for you. I was just curious."
"It's not uncomfortable for me Sasuke. And this isn't something you should be reading about in books. At least not for the first time your mind is learning about it." Kakashi stated as he went back to his work. "An STD is something that one person can give to another through sex or oral sex. It's an infection that is often curable with medicine, but some are incurable and will eventually kill you. You get an STD from having unprotected sex or oral sex with someone infected with an STD. A blood test can show if someone has an STD and what kind it is. So when you are older and want to start having sexual relations with someone always wear a condom or make sure they wear a condom during sex. Wearing a condom also helps prevent pregnancy."
"It can only be passed along through sexual contact?"
"That's right. Some of the more serious ones can also be passed along through blood. So their infected blood mixes in with your blood. That can happen with dirty needles from shady doctor offices or drug users sharing needles with each other."
"Seems like a lot of risk for something so menial like sex."
"You say that now. But you are twelve and sex is the last thing on your mind. Some people think it's worth the risk."
"Do you?"
"Um… that's complicated. Even though it is important to practice safe sex sometimes things happen in the heat of the moment. It's those moments where people have sex even if they don't have protection."
"Have you ever had an STD? Is that a question to ask someone?"
"It's a question to ask the person you plan on having sexual relations with yes. As for me, no I've never had one. Why so much interest in sex?" It wasn't like Sasuke to be interested in anything outside of training. Kakashi didn't mind answering his questions, but he was curious as to why the sudden interest.
"Sex wasn't allowed to be talked about in the Clan. I've always been interested in things that are forbidden. What that doctor said today brought up questions."
"What did the doctor say?"
"That sometimes ANBU will have sex with a target to get information from them. It doesn't make sense though. Why would someone talk more because they had sex? It's not rational."
"Well that is your problem right there. Sex isn't rational. Sometimes you can hate a person with everything in you and still be sexually attracted to them. As for the talking part, it is a known fact that people tend to talk after having sex. It opens them up to more personal questions that they wouldn't have normally talked about with a stranger. It's called pillow talk."
"But that's not rational. Just because you have sex with someone doesn't make them any less of a stranger. Why would anyone reveal vital information like that? It's not rational."
"People aren't rational Sasuke. You'll see one day when you're older. It's not like you to talk so much. Not that I'm not enjoying the more chattier side of you."
"I talk more when I'm tired and sick. It's a bad habit since I was little."
"It's a good habit to have Sasuke. You should talk more. It's important for your growth on social interactions."
"How so?"
"You aren't in the academy anymore. Being a ninja is just like any other career out there. Having connections with other ninja could be helpful to you. You might develop a valuable connection with an ANBU Captain. That Captain could see you being more valuable on his or her squad and might be able to make an argument for you being there instead of on squad thirteen. I know that is a lot of maybes, but it's worth a try. Connecting with people is important, especially at your age Sasuke."
"What's the point in connecting with people when they'll just die?"
"Because it's worth it Sasuke. Every moment is worth it. Even the bad ones, the ones that cause pain. It's all worth it. Because there are moments of happiness and love. You need to connect with people even though it could end in hurt and heartache. It's how you live, it's how we all live. Humans are not meant to go through life completely alone. Building connections are important, especially to your mental and emotional health."
"Uchihas don't really do mental and emotional health. I'm more concerned for my physical health right now."
"I'm concerned about all three. But as for your back, I've done the best that I can. You are going to be sore for about a week and you need to be careful during training. Any hit to it will make it worse. Your knees will feel better in a couple of days, but you might want to pad them for training so they have the chance to heal. How are you feeling?"
"Tired, sore, but my stomach is more settled now. I need sleep. I have to be up at three for training."
"Let's get you into bed. You get changed and I'll get you some water."
Sasuke gave a nod and Kakashi helped to get Sasuke up. Sasuke swayed slightly, but Kakashi was there to steady him. He helped to get Sasuke into his bedroom before he went to the kitchen to grab Sasuke some water, a bucket and wet a fresh cloth. Kakashi made his way back into the bedroom to see that Sasuke had thrown on some sleep clothes and a baggy t-shirt. He was already in bed on his left side. Kakashi went over and placed the glass down on the bedside table. He placed the bucket down on the floor as he spoke.
"Just in case."
Kakashi placed the cloth against Sasuke's forehead to help keep his stomach settled.
"I can stay if you want."
"I'll be ok. I'm just going to sleep. Thanks though."
"I'll come by tomorrow in the late afternoon to check in on you. If you are injured after training come to my apartment please."
Sasuke just gave a nod and Kakashi could see he was already fighting to keep his eyes open.
"Get some sleep Sasuke." Kakashi said warmly before he made his way out of the bedroom and out of the apartment.
He was worried about Sasuke, but his hands were tied. He couldn't do anything about Sasuke's situation other than be there for him to help get him through it. Kakashi hated that he had to leave Sasuke in this type of life, but he refused to not be there for him. With any luck Danzo would get sick of whatever game he was playing and leave Sasuke alone before there was nothing left of him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was another morning and Sasuke found himself hunched over the toilet throwing up once again. Only he had nothing in his system left besides water to throw up. It was mostly dry heaves at this point. Sasuke had woken up at three, thankful that he had remembered to set his alarm yesterday before getting into bed. He had slept the whole time, close to sixteen hours, and yet he was still exhausted and sick. Sasuke had no idea how he was ever going to get through this training today. He was sick, exhausted and his back still felt like it was on fire. Sasuke wanted to take a shower, but he knew he shouldn't with his back being so injured. He was only going to be able to shower once today and it would be better to wait until after his training was over. Sasuke forced his body to move. He had to get something in him if he was going to survive today. Sasuke knew he wouldn't be able to eat anything this morning, but he was hoping to get some tea into him. With any luck he would be able to keep from throwing up today or at least until he got home.
Sasuke made his way into his kitchen and started to make some tea. He was hoping the ginger would help to soothe his stomach. While the water was boiling Sasuke went into his bedroom to get dressed in his new uniform. It was mostly all black with the exception of the grey vest to add protection. Once he was dressed he grabbed his mask and katana before heading back out into the kitchen. He cut up some ginger before he grabbed a mug and got his tea ready. Sasuke went and sat down with his tea and took a small sip. He couldn't help but stare at the katana laying on his counter. He always thought that when it was time to learn how to use a sword Itachi would teach him. It had been a long time since Sasuke had even thought about Itachi, but since finding out he was going to be placed in the ANBU Sasuke couldn't stop thinking about him. So much could have been different if Itachi was still around. Sasuke had felt a lot of things since the Clan's death, but this was the first time he had actually missed his brother. Itachi would have been able to stop this from happening. Sasuke knew Kakashi had tried, but Itachi held a different fear and respect to him. Everything would have been different.
Sasuke felt his eyes stinging with tears and he quickly blinked them away. He didn't know what was going on with him recently. He couldn't seem to get control over his emotions like he normally can. He needed to get back to how he used to be a week ago. He couldn't afford to have his emotions like this, not when he was going to be training with cold blooded killers. Sasuke drank as much of the tea as he could. It was soothing on his stomach and he was hoping it would work to get him through the day. With a sigh Sasuke put on his mask and strapped his sword to his back. It felt heavy and foreign. Sasuke wasn't sure it was something he would get used to. With no other choice, Sasuke headed out of his apartment and made the walk towards the training grounds. It was just after three thirty in the morning so the streets were dead. It was nice compared to the busy morning streets. Only the quiet was making it harder for him to not think about what was going to come. Sasuke was nervous, there was no denying that. He had no idea what to expect today besides pain, he knew that without a doubt. Sasuke wanted to get stronger, he wanted to be able to train more but with them training so early in the day Sasuke doubted he would be able to stay awake afterwards. He was hoping that in time his body would adjust to the hours so he would be more awake afterwards. He just needed to get over this flu so he would be able to have more energy. Sasuke arrived at the field and found that it was empty. Sasuke didn't know what that meant or if he was the first one to had no idea how this worked at all. Was he supposed to stand here and wait? Was he supposed to be hiding in the trees? He hated not knowing what he was supposed to do. He hated feeling like an idiot.
His answer came ten minutes later when he sensed an attack coming towards him, only the attack was coming towards him from all directions. Sasuke activated his Sharingan to try and avoid the kunais and shurikens that were being thrown at him. The problem was these were trained ANBU killers and they didn't really miss. Sasuke could throw fast, he was an Uchiha after all and that was their trade, but these guys were impressive. They were on a whole other level. Sasuke had just barely been able to avoid the five his eyes were able to pick up. The other twenty though, he didn't register fast enough and he felt them slicing through both of his arms, his sides and his legs. The cuts were deep, but not so deep that he wouldn't be able to walk or use his arms. Sasuke found himself surrounded by five ANBU and Sasuke had a feeling behind their masks they were not happy.
"So this is Uchiha Itachi's little brother." One with a wolf mask said with disgust.
"We hate Uchiha Itachi. He's a traitor and a disgrace. You don't deserve to be here." One with a cat mask said.
"Danzo wants you on this squad and we can't go against him. He told us to show you no mercy. We are just forbidden to allow you to die or hit your stomach at risk of internal bleeding." A fox mask commented.
"But we can push you past your breaking point and you kill yourself." The Wolf added and Sasuke could hear the gleam in his voice. This was fun to them.
"You won't last two weeks Worm." The Cat said.
"We train eight hours a day, every day we are not on a mission. If you are so much as one minute late we will double the hours for that week. Any sign of weakness or hesitation will result in punishment. We won't hold back. You don't belong here and we have every intention to ensure that anyone with that traitor's blood in them is killed." A man in a lion mask said. Sasuke figured he was the leader of this group.
"Where should we start today Boss?" The Fox asked the Lion, confirming Sasuke's suspicions.
"Today we work on accuracy. Worm, you are going to run around at full speed throughout the trees with your Sharingan activated. No stopping, no slowing down. The rest of us will throw our kunais and shurikens at you. We will do this for the full eight hours. Worm, if you receive more than two hundred slices on you, then you will fail and be punished for it. If you stop or slow down, you will be punished for going against orders. Do you understand?"
"Yes Sir." Sasuke didn't have much of a choice. All he could do was hope he survived this and didn't pass out from being sick, exhausted or losing too much chakra by the end of it. He had never used his Sharingan for that long before. He didn't even know if he could use it for that long. It wasn't like they could see his eyes, but Sasuke highly doubted they wouldn't know if he was using it.
"You have ten seconds. Go."
Sasuke didn't need to be told twice. He took off at full speed for the trees and all he could do at this point was hope for the best. He learned quick so he at least had that on his side. With a little luck he might make it through this without any added punishments. He also had no idea what the squad would say to Danzo at the end. They could lie and say he failed just so Danzo would hurt him. It was all up in the air and Sasuke hated it. Especially because it seemed like they were going to be harder against him from Itachi. It wasn't his fault that Itachi went insane and killed his whole family. Sasuke would have loved to grow up with his parents and brother by his side. He didn't ask for any of this and he didn't want it. Sasuke forced the thoughts out of his mind and focused on the task at hand, surviving this training. Sasuke felt a slice going over his left arm and he knew his head start was up. Only eight more hours to go.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Eight hours and three hundred and five cuts later Sasuke was finally finished with training. He was barely conscious and he felt blood running down his face from his eyes. They were burning, a burning Sasuke had never felt before in his life. Sasuke just wanted to pass out. Everything in his body was screaming for sleep, to just collapse here and now and let the darkness take over. Everything in his mind was screaming for the exact opposite. Knowing it wasn't safe was the only thing keeping Sasuke upright at all. What made it all worse was knowing he wouldn't be able to go straight home after this. They were going to punish him and then he would need to see Danzo, who would probably add to his pain.
"Three hundred and five cuts, a hundred and five more than you were allowed to have. Each of us gets a hundred and five seconds to beat you as your punishment. You will not resist Worm." The Lion said before he snapped his fingers and the Wolf stepped up to Sasuke.
Sasuke knew what was coming, but it didn't help him prepare for it. They were all huge and Sasuke knew they wouldn't be holding back on their punches. He was proven right when the first punch came at his head and knocked his mask clear off. With only less than two minutes the Wolf didn't wait to throw another punch. Sasuke was quickly knocked down to the ground, but his arms were grabbed by two other ANBU to hold him up on his knees. The hits continued to come for over eight and a half minutes while each member took a turn. They avoided his stomach completely, why Sasuke had no idea. He knew they were given orders to not cause any damage to his stomach at risk of internal bleeding, but why that would matter Sasuke had no idea. He could get internal bleeding from his ribs or his head, why his stomach was off limits Sasuke had no idea. With the last punch Sasuke was thrown to the ground covered in blood from his head, his mouth and his nose. The very thought of moving hurt. Sasuke had no idea how he was ever going to survive this. He didn't know if he wanted to survive this. He knew he wasn't as strong as he was supposed to be. He wasn't that strong mentally. He thought he was, he wanted to be, but going through this was proving he wasn't even close to as strong as he thought he was.
Sasuke was about to get up when he felt a foot on his back kicking him over and then putting said foot on his chest holding him down. Sasuke didn't know what they were going to do, he figured they were going to hurt him. What he didn't expect was for them all to unzip their pants. Sasuke was disgusted and horrified when they all started to urinate on him. Two of which made sure it hit Sasuke on his face. When he went to move his arms to cover himself, they each got a foot on them to pin them down. Every time Sasuke moved his head, they would make sure to follow the movement.
"Worms are nothing more than dirt and that is how you will be treated." The Lion said and the others snickered.
Sasuke's stomach flipped and it took everything in him to not throw up right then and there. He knew that wouldn't have gone well. So he clenched his mouth shut to keep his stomach from emptying the very little it had in it. When the ANBU were finally done urinating on him, Sasuke was certain he was never going to get clean again, they pulled back and removed their feet from him.
"Danzo wishes to meet with you. Move it. He doesn't like to be kept waiting." The Lion said and with that the others were gone.
Sasuke let out a slow breath as he tried to get his body to move. He knew he couldn't afford to waste time. He had to get up and get to the Hokage's Tower before he angered Danzo. All he wanted though was a shower, a very hot shower. Only he couldn't, which meant he had to go to the Hokage Tower covered in pee. Very slowly Sasuke got up and stumbled over to his mask. He knew he had to wear it or he risked his identity being exposed and that would only get him into more trouble. Sasuke put the mask in place and headed off to the Hokage Tower through the trees and rooftops. Sasuke made it to Danzo's office and waited outside for when he would be able to enter. That moment came twenty minutes later when the ANBU had walked out. Sasuke entered the room once he was given permission to do so. Sasuke went over and took his normal position, thankful that he had taken Kakashi's advice and padded his knees.
Once again Danzo left Sasuke there waiting, at least this time it was only for thirty minutes. More than enough time for the urine to dry and the smell was making his stomach even more queezey.
"Remove your boots Worm."
Sasuke knew better than to argue and at this point he just wanted to get out of here so he could take a hot shower and get some sleep. Sasuke could hear Danzo moving behind him. Sasuke didn't really know what was going to happen, but he knew it would hurt.
"You failed your training today. Failure needs to be punished. Twenty lashes."
Danzo hit with full strength mercisley against the bottom on Sasuke's feet with his cane. Sasuke knew by now not to make a single sound. Sasuke did what he did yesterday, he counted each and every hit until it was finally over. Sasuke knew without a doubt that the bottom of both of his feet would be bloody and painful to walk on. Just like he knew he would have to do it regardless of the pain.
"Dismissed."
Sasuke put his boots on and stood up. He almost screamed at the pain, but he had managed to stop it just in time. It took everything in him to not limp out of the office. Once back outside Sasuke took to the roofs so he could get home faster. He tried to keep to being on his toes so most of his weight wouldn't hit his feet. It was still painful regardless, but it at least didn't make him want to scream and cry out in pain every step. He arrived back at his apartment and immediately headed into the bathroom, stripping along the way. He knew the water was going to hurt his whole body, but he didn't care. He needed this day off from him. He needed the urine off from him. He got into the shower, making sure the water wasn't too hot, but would still be hot enough for him to feel clean. The water against his abused skin felt like acid was hitting it. All of the cuts, bruises and lashes left him feeling like he was on fire. The added pain was enough to push his stomach over the edge and Sasuke bent over facing the drain and threw up what very little water he had in his system. After a few more dry heaves the camping had stopped and Sasuke leaned his head against the cool tiles of his shower. He tried his best to fight the tears back, but he was so exhausted and in pain he couldn't do it. He let the water mix with his tears as he tried to convince himself that it wouldn't always be like this. He was more sensitive because of the surgery, being sick and being exhausted. He just needed to get over this flu and he would be able to handle this better. He just felt so miserable and alone.
Sasuke stood there for as long as his body could tolerate. His eyes kept closing and Sasuke knew if he didn't move he would fall asleep in the shower. He still needed to wash his hair so Sasuke made quick work of it, making sure to wash it twice, before he got out. He instantly felt the cold in the room and quickly wrapped himself up in a towel before he made his way to his bedroom to get some clothes on. He went to put on a longer sleeved shirt to help with feeling cold, only it hurt the cuts on his arms too much. Sasuke had to put on a normal t-shirt and some sweats before he went out into the living room. He grabbed a blanket that he had on the end of the couch and wrapped that around his shoulders. It still hurt his arms, but it wasn't as bad. Sasuke wanted to curl up and sleep, to give what his body was so desperately craving, but he also knew he needed to eat something first. Sasuke put a pot of water on before he went and sat down at his island. Sasuke fought with keeping his eyes open, but he quickly lost that fight as he fell asleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was just before four in the afternoon when Kakashi was finally able to make his way to Sasuke's apartment. He was very worried about Sasuke and how the training had gone today. Kakashi knew that the Hunter-nin squad had no interest in training someone. They expected any members of the squad to have a vast experience and be able to handle themselves in any type of situation. Sasuke was the exact opposite of that and they wouldn't tolerate it. To top it all off Sasuke was sick, exhausted and injured, not to mention still recovering from surgery. He had barely been able to focus today with his own training session for Naruto and Sakura.
As Kakashi started to walk up the stairs he noticed the sound of a smoke detector going off. Kakashi ran up the stairs and into Sasuke's apartment. The first thing he noticed was the amount of white and grey smoke that was filling up the apartment. It wasn't thick, but it was a good amount of it. Kakashi at least knew nothing was on fire, not yet at least. He looked over at the kitchen and easily spotted the problem. Sasuke was past out on the island countertop and the stove was going. Kakashi ran over to the stove to turn it off as he called out.
"Sasuke!"
The sudden yelling of his name was enough to wake Sasuke. He was instantly confused as to what the hell was going on. He saw Kakashi removing a very ruined pot off the stove and that was when his mind kicked in.
"Dammit."
"It's ok I got it." Kakashi turned the stove off and put the pot into the sink.
Sasuke started to cough from all of the smoke. He got up and went to open the windows only he forgot about his feet. The second they touched the ground his legs gave out, but Kakashi caught him before he fell.
"It's ok take it easy."
Kakashi helped to get Sasuke sitting back down on the stool as he continued to cough. Kakashi went over and opened the windows before he used one of his wind jutsu to blow the smoke out the window. Kakashi left the window open to help with the smell, but the bulk of the smoke was gone now. With the danger out of the way Kakashi then turned his full attention to Sasuke. He was covered in bruises and cuts. Kakashi couldn't see a spot on him that wasn't either bruised or cut.
"Sasuke." Kakashi started as he made his way back over to Sasuke.
"I was cooking rice. I just closed my eyes for a second." Sasuke shivered and he bent down to pick up the blanket that had fall off him.
"It's ok. You are exhausted and sick. Have you eaten anything today?"
Sasuke just shook his head.
"Ok, I'm going to cook you some rice, you need to eat something. While it's cooking I'm going to look you over ok?"
Sasuke just gave a small nod and Kakashi could tell he was absolutely miserable with life, not that he could blame him. Kakashi grabbed a glass and filled it with some water before he got a new pot out. He placed the pot on the stove before he placed the glass down in front of Sasuke.
"You need to drink lots of water to hydrate or you will get sicker. Drink it slow. I'll grab the first aid kit."
Sasuke picked up the water as Kakashi headed into the bathroom to grab the first aid kit once again. Kakashi didn't know if Sasuke needed it or not, but he figured with the number of cuts on him he might need some to be bandaged. Kakashi headed back out and placed the first aid kit down on the countertop.
"Is it just the cuts and bruises?"
"The bottom of my feet."
"What happened to the bottom of your feet?"
"Danzo."
Sasuke had his head against his arm and he was barely awake.
"I know it's hard Sasuke, but I need you to stay awake for me. At least until we get some food into you. Let's get you sitting on the counter so I can see the bottom of your feet."
Kakashi didn't even give Sasuke the chance to respond. He simply placed his hands on Sasuke's hips and lifted him up onto the counter. Kakashi moved back and lifted Sasuke's left leg first as Sasuke spoke.
"Must be nice to be strong."
"You are strong Sasuke."
Kakashi couldn't believe how bad Sasuke's foot was. It held ten lashes and each step would have been unbearable. Just like Sasuke's back though, he couldn't do anything for it. Sasuke had already taken a shower so the lashes were clean. The only thing that would help was time.
"Doesn't feel like it anymore." Sasuke softly admitted.
"It's been a hard week for you, especially the last two days. It won't always be like this Sasuke."
Kakashi moved on to the next foot just in case.
"Do you really believe that or are you saying it to try and make me feel better?"
"I want to believe it."
"They hate me. Because of Itachi. They refuse to train me. They used me as target practice today. For eight hours I got to run non stop dodging weapons that they threw at me. Danzo said they couldn't kill me so they want me to kill myself. That's their plan. Said it would take two weeks."
"They are trying to get into your head. They can't kill you because Danzo has some sick plan in his head for you. They want you weak, mentally, so Danzo can manipulate you. You can't let them Sasuke."
"How can I not then? I don't think I've ever been this tired before in my life. I thought I was stronger than this. I thought I could handle this."
Kakashi finished with Sasuke's feet as he stood up. Giving Sasuke his full attention.
"You are stronger than this. You just had surgery a week ago. You are sick as hell, injured and exhausted. Anyone would be feeling like shit right now. Anyone would be feeling like you are right now. That doesn't make you weak that makes you tired. People who are supposed to protect you and look out for you are trying to break you. It's natural for you to be feeling like shit and it pisses me off that they are doing this to you. You don't deserve this. You didn't commit the crimes, your brother did, they have no right to take it out on you. I am going to train you and get you prepared for whatever is going to come your way. We just need to get you a little bit healthier first."
Sasuke just gave a nod and it was clear to Kakashi he wasn't so sure about any of this. It was understandable with how he was feeling on all levels. Sasuke just needed a bit of time to get over this flu and he would start to feel better.
"Does anything hurt? Anything feel broken?" Kakashi asked as he began to look over the bruising.
"Nothing broken, but my eyes hurt. They had me using my Sharingan all day. My eyes were bleeding, has your eye ever done that?"
"A few times from using it too much. I mostly run out of chakra and pass out though. It's dangerous for you to be going to the point of them bleeding. There's a lot of chakra that goes through them, you can damage your eyes. You need to be careful Sasuke. I know you didn't have a choice today, but when you are on a mission try not to use it unless you have no other choice. Give your eyes a break before you end up blind."
"Does that happen?"
"It can yes. Not just with your clan, but any clan that has an eye technique."
"Is there a way to make it so that only a small amount of chakra goes through my eyes?"
"I'm not sure. I can do some research though and let you know if I find a way. It might just have to be something you try out and see how much chakra you need to use to get your Sharingan activated."
"Are there different versions of the Sharingan?"
"There are. It's a little complicated and every one is different to an extent. There is one called Mangekyo Sharingan. I have one because of Obito and Itachi has one. We both can do something different with our Mangekyo. Itachi can do more than I can do because I only have one eye. Each eye can hold a different ability. I don't know what your brother can do with his. I only know he has it because I saw it for a second when he was training before he sensed me. I am able to teleport a person to another dimension. It takes a great deal of concentration and chakra though so I don't tend to use it."
"Is it just you two?"
"Alive yes. But many powerful Uchiha were able to activate it, including Madara. Each one looks different and each one holds their own power. There is also something called the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, but it is rare and only Madara has ever been able to obtain it. It's the highest level and extremely powerful. Madara was able to use it with something called Susanoo, it uses purple chakra to create a demon you could call it. He was able to use that with the tail beasts to strengthen them. Madara was also rumoured to have the rinnegan, which is the third infamous eye technique that is a blood limit. It was rumoured and never proven before he was killed. No one that I am aware of has the blood limit anymore and where it originated from is even uncertain."
"It seems like there is so much that I'll never be able to know. I was too young when they were alive for anyone to tell me anything important. Itachi always made sure my time spent with him was about fun and not training. I tried looking through the public records, but the whole Clan was removed. They were my family and I know nothing about them."
"One day you will be able to get those answers Sasuke and I will help you find them. Maybe Itachi would be willing to talk to you at some point. Assuming you both don't kill each other."
"I hate what he did. I hate him. But today was the first day I've missed him since that night."
"It's natural that you would miss him Sasuke. He was your brother, he was your hero. What he did doesn't change that you had so many good memories with him. I miss him sometimes too."
"Really?"
Kakashi finished patching up Sasuke and made his way over to the stove put the rice in the water.
"Itachi wasn't close with many people. I wasn't either after losing my whole squad during the war. We went on a good number of missions together in the ANBU. We spent a lot of time talking with each other. He became my best friend. We could tell each other everything and we did. Bad days, good days, he would talk about you a lot. There wasn't a problem that we couldn't figure out together. So on the very bad days I miss him."
"Doesn't that make us bad ninja by missing him? He is one of the biggest traitors in the village's history."
"No it doesn't make us bad. It makes us human. You are allowed to miss your family, even if that family isn't who you expected him to be. But for what it's worth, I think there was more going on with Itachi than any of us know. I don't think he woke up one day and decided to kill the whole Clan. Something had been bothering him for about six months. He wouldn't talk about it. I think whatever was going on for those six months contributed to his actions."
"He was fighting with our father a lot. He was different those last six months, but he tried to keep it from me. He tried to still be the same around me. Maybe if I had been older he would have opened up to me about what was bothering him so much. Or maybe he wouldn't have. It doesn't matter, doesn't change that he's not here."
"You know it's also not wrong for you to be wishing he was here. Even the version he is now and not who he used to be. Your brother is very strong and scary. It would make sense that there is a part of you that wished he was here to handle this situation. To fix it."
"Today, for thirty seconds. I shouldn't still feel like this. Like I need him around. I don't want to feel like that."
"You are too hard on yourself Sasuke. You are twelve years old. A child, whether you like it or not. Itachi was a person who made you feel safe. A person who took care of you and loved you. This is the first time since your family's death that you have been through something horrible. Something that was challenging you in every sense of the word. It's ok to wish he was here to help you through it or to get you out of it. It's ok for you to remember what he used to be like. And one day when you are ready for it I'd be happy to tell you stories about him."
"I'd like that."
Kakashi gave Sasuke a warm smile even if he couldn't see it. He saw that the rice was done and he went to put a small amount into a bowl. Sasuke moved off the countertop and sat down on the stool once again. He was so tired he honestly didn't know what to do with himself. He needed to eat something though or he would never get over this flu. Kakashi placed the bowl down in front of Sasuke before he sat down himself.
"You should start to feel better in a few days. Once you do we will figure out some time for me to train you. You have far too much potential in you and I am not risking you falling behind. We'll focus on the sword first, you will need that more than anything."
"What are the fastest ways to kill someone?"
"That is a conversation I never thought I would have to have with you. There is a book that I have from being in the ANBU. It is about the human body and its weakest points. I'll give that to you to read for when you are ordered to torture someone for information. I can answer any questions you might have on it. As for killing, stab through the heart is the fastest and less painful death. Hitting any main artery and the person will bleed out. There are a few poisons that will stop someone's heart, but you can't always guarantee you can get close enough to pour it into a drink. For you, a sword right through the heart will be the easiest."
"I don't see how it could ever be easy."
"It's not. Taking a life is something that will stay with you forever. It's easiest on the other person. They die almost instantly and they don't feel much pain. I know it might be hard, but when you can, tell me when you are going on a mission so I know."
"I'll try."
Sasuke was trying his best to stay awake and eat. He was so tired though that sitting here was taking all of his energy. His stomach wasn't upset though so he was happy about that. He was hoping that meant he was finally on the recovery side of things.
"Naruto and Sakura are doing well. They have been pushing themselves hard so they can be at your level. When you feel better we should all go out to dinner. It would be good for you to still see them."
"Ya I guess."
"It's important for your mental health to still be interacting with people your own age."
Sasuke hummed in agreement and Kakashi knew he was too tired to be able to hold any conversation at this point. Kakashi was just glad that Sasuke was eating some of the rice. Kakashi sat there and watched as Sasuke tried to stay awake as he ate, but failed miserably. It was five minutes later when Sasuke's fork was falling out of his hand. Kakashi got up and picked up the bowl and fork and placed it in the sink.
"Sasuke."
Kakashi touched Sasuke's back and the contact woke Sasuke up slightly.
"Let's get you into bed."
"Hn." Sasuke said as he had his eyes closed once again.
Kakashi picked Sasuke up bridal style and carried him into his bedroom. He placed Sasuke down in his bed and pulled the covers over him. He made sure the bucket was still there just in case Sasuke woke up sick. Kakashi then went and grabbed a glass of water and wet a cloth. He went back to Sasuke and placed the glass on his bedside table and put the cool cloth on Sasuke's forehead. Kakashi was hoping that Sasuke would sleep the rest of the day and night away. With any luck he would start to feel better and that should help to put Sasuke's mental health back in a stronger position. Kakashi went out into the living room and sat down on the couch. He pulled out his favorite book and began to read. He was going to stay for a little while to make sure that Sasuke was alright. He wasn't going to let Sasuke believe he was alone in this, because Kakashi was not going to let Sasuke do this alone.
Week Two
Sasuke found himself in the doctor's office once again. Today he was supposed to be getting cleared for active duty. Sasuke was praying to any God out there that he would be placed on medical leave. It had now been two weeks since he was released from the hospital and a week and a half since he had first woken up sick as hell. He was still throwing up every morning and even during the day. That was not helpful with his squad as they continued to push his body well beyond its breaking point. Every time he threw up it only made the punishments worse. He had been training, and he used that term lightly, with the ANBU squad for a week now and so far he had learnt nothing, but he was getting faster and better at dodging shit thrown at him. Not much of an accomplishment, but it was at least something. Danzo had taken his cane to Sasuke's back once again three days ago. Sasuke had gotten to the point where he didn't look in the mirror anymore. It was easier to not see the injuries that covered his body. Sasuke needed to not be cleared today. He needed the break to try and get past this flu and let his injuries clear up. He also need to get some strength so he could train with Kakashi and maybe stand a chance with his ANBU training.
"Your ultrasound is clear Sasuke-Kun." Kabuto said with a warm smile. A fact that very much pleased Kabuto.
"I'm still sick though. I can't seem to stop throwing up in the mornings and mid afternoon. I'm also cold all the time now."
"That happens with the flu. You should be over it by now."
"I'm not. I think I just need a week to rest and then I'll be better."
Sasuke was really hoping that Kabuto would catch his hint, but he didn't.
"It's not the flu. Your blood work came back perfectly clean."
"Then why am I so sick all the time?"
"Your body is reacting to stress and the change in your new position. It's natural that you are feeling stressed or worried about it. That has just manifested in a physical illness. You did have the flu when you first came here last week, but you are healthy now."
"How do I stop being sick then?"
"By getting your mind around what has changed in your life. You are new to ANBU and have been going through some tough training. Your mind is reacting to it by making you physically sick. You just need to get your mind to accept your new position and not stress over it."
"My new position that was forced onto me involves me killing and torturing people. That's not something you just accept."
"You have to or you will continue to be sick and tired. We all have our jobs to do and roles to play. This is now your job. You can't quit and resisting will only result in your being hurt and sick. The sooner you accept your new role the better off you will be. You are cleared medically for active duty. Report to Danzo and inform him of the good news. See you next time Sasuke-Kun."
With that Kabuto got up and headed out of the room. Sasuke let out a huff. He had no choice now, he had to go to Danzo and pray today wouldn't end like all the other days for the past week, in pain. Sasuke got up and made his way out of the hospital and down to the Hokage Tower. He allowed himself this time to think about what the doctor had told him. He wasn't too convinced that he didn't have the flu, but the blood work all came back normal. Sasuke had no idea how he was ever going to manage to get past this if it was true. Sasuke couldn't accept killing and torturing people. He had no idea how he was ever going to stop being sick all the time. He needed to not be sick so he was in better condition. There was no accepting for this position, it was horrible and Sasuke didn't want it. He couldn't quit though, because that would be disgracing his family's name. He was stuck until he was able to figure a way out of this. What that way was going to be Sasuke had no idea.
Sasuke did what he always did for the past two weeks once he was allowed to enter Danzo's office. He knelt, bowed and waited. At least this time he didn't have to wait more than fifteen minutes, a serious improvement.
"You have been cleared for active duty. You have thirty minutes to get ready, you have a mission. Your squad leader has the information. You are to eliminate the target and return with proof of death. You know what will happen if you fail in any way. Dismissed."
Sasuke got up and headed out of the office. He wasn't dressed in his gear so he would need to head home to do that. He also needed to talk to Kakashi quickly before he left. Sasuke only had thirty minutes so he went to Kakashi's apartment first. If nothing else, he hadn't thrown up in two hours so that was something. Once Sasuke arrived at Kakashi's apartment he knocked and waited for when Kakashi opened the door. Kakashi gave Sasuke a warm smile when he saw that it was Sasuke.
"Sasuke, come on in."
Sasuke walked in and Kakashi closed the door.
"I just wanted to let you know that I've been given a mission. Target elimination. I leave in thirty."
"You were cleared for active duty? You have been sick for almost two weeks now."
"According to Kabuto, I am not sick, but my stress is making me sick. All my blood work came back cleared. I'm not medically sick so I'm cleared."
"You've never had this reaction to stress before. It makes no sense for you to have a reaction like this now. Is he sure that there isn't anything in your blood work at all that could indicate a physical reason?"
"He seemed sure. Maybe it is stress, I don't know. It could easily be from being sick that I haven't been eating right and now my body is trying to catch up but it can't."
"You don't get enough food or water during the day because of your training schedule. That makes your body rundown and when you do get to eat your system is too rundown to handle it. So you get sick. It's possible. It does happen. I'm not saying stress isn't apart of the reason, but I find it hard to believe it is the only reason. Did he say anything about how you can stop it?"
"Accept what my new role in life is. That's not going to happen. I get to just deal with it and see. I'll try to eat and drink more often, maybe that will help."
"It will help. Do you know anything about your target or mission?"
"No. Danzo said that my squad leader has all of that information. I guess it's going to be a quick one. I need to get going. I only have thirty minutes."
"I don't have a mission right now. Come here when you get back so I know you are ok. Remember, do what you are told to do. Don't give them a reason to hurt you more than you already are. If they tell you to kill the target you need to do it and deal with the consequences afterwards. If you don't, they will still kill the target, but they will torture you for going against them. Nothing you do will save the target's life Sasuke. But everything you do will decide how your life goes."
"They're gonna make me do this." Sasuke stated as it all came together in his mind.
"Yes, yes they are. But I will be here for you when you get back and we will deal with it together. You need to get home and get ready. You can't be late."
Sasuke just gave a nod and he turned to head out. Kakashi placed his hand on Sasuke's forearm, stopping him in his path. Kakashi pulled Sasuke into his arms and Sasuke welcomed the hug. Sasuke only allowed himself a few moments to feel safe before he pulled back. He had to get ready for this mission and Kakashi was right, he couldn't be late for it. Kakashi gave Sasuke a small smile of encouragement before Sasuke headed out of his apartment. Kakashi let out a sigh as he closed his eyes. He had no idea what Sasuke would be like when he returned, but he knew it wouldn't be good.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They had been traveling for close to four hours now when they finally arrived at their destination. So far no one had told him anything. All Sasuke knew was that they were to eliminate a target. When they arrived at the village they stopped in the trees and Sasuke finally got his answers.
"The targets are Mihko Millan and his organization. They are suspected on multiple criminal charges including treason. All must be eliminated and any witnesses. Worm, this is your first mission as your reward for getting this far you are going to be the one to kill them all. We will detain them and you can kill them one at a time. You need the experience on killing. We will advise you on the different ways to kill each of them. Understood?" The Lion said.
"Yes Sir, but if I may ask, how many are there?" It took everything in Sasuke to keep the dread and fear from his voice.
"Ten that we are aware of. They are located in that warehouse right there. Move out."
They all leapt from the tree to the rooftops and Sasuke had no choice but to follow. He didn't think he could kill one person and now they were expecting him to kill ten. All of which would be defenseless against him and all are only suspected of these crimes. They could be innocent. Sasuke knew he couldn't think like this, that it wouldn't be helpful. He had to get his emotions and his mind to switch off so he could do this and then get back home where he was somewhat safe. He had to listen to Kakashi. These people were going to die regardless and if he didn't listen to the orders he would be suffering a worse fate than them.
When they arrived at the warehouse it was too easy for them to get in. These people were never expecting an attack. Sasuke did as he was instructed and waited until he received the ok to enter. He was to keep an eye on the outside while the others went in to round everyone up and detain them. Sasuke was really hoping that there were only ten people inside and they were the ten that they needed to complete their mission. Sasuke didn't want anyone else to be getting hurt or killed because of this. It only took five minutes before Sasuke received the all clear. He dropped into the warehouse and saw ten people all with their hands chained above their heads. There were eight men and two women. Most didn't look older than twenty. Sasuke was thankful for the mask, at least no one would be able to see the disgust and dread that he was certain covered his face. Sasuke approached the leader, not sure what he was expected to do. He had never killed anyone before. Kakashi had said to go for their heart, make it quick and as painless as possible. Sasuke wasn't sure these ANBU would let him get away with such a clean kill though.
The Lion slung his arm over Sasuke's shoulders as he spoke.
"Today marks a very important day in your life Worm. Today you become a real man. In order to do that you need to bathe in the blood of your first kills."
The Lion moved his free hand and pulled Sasuke's mask off, revealing himself to everyone in the room.
"What are you doing? I'll get in trouble." Sasuke immediately said without thinking. All he could remember was his punishment the last time he broke this very important rule.
"Relax kid we won't tell anyone. Honestly, I didn't think you'd make it past a week and here you are. You might be worth more than the shit I thought you were. We'll keep this our secret no one will rat you out. I give you my word and all ANBU have is their word. And these people don't matter." The Lion said.
"He's right Worm. We ain't gonna say anything. You only get your first kill once, it needs to be done right. With you looking right at them and them being able to see you back. We've all done it." The Cat said.
"Today you take one step closer to being just like us. To being accepted." The Wolf added.
"Listen kid, you become one of us and your life will get better. You'll be family. We'll train you properly. We won't punish you when you do something wrong. We'll cover for you with Danzo so he won't punish you. None of us thought you would survive the first week, but you did. You are so close to being family, don't bitch out now." The Lion said.
"I don't know how to kill." Sasuke softly admitted.
He didn't know what to do. He knew it was wrong. He knew they were trying to manipulate him. Yet there was this part of his brain that wanted to do it. To make them happy so they would stop hurting him all the time. He was going to have to go through this anyways, would it really be a bad thing if he wasn't getting hurt to go with it? He could be in less pain. He might be able to stop throwing up every day. He had to survive. He couldn't die, he had to avenge his Clan, his family.
"That's ok, we'll teach you. It's not that hard. Take a kunai out it'll be easier than your sword in close quarters." The Lion explained calmly.
Sasuke shut down his emotional sensors of his brain as he knew he had to do this. Sasuke pulled out a kunai from his pouch and waited. The Lion moved Sasuke so he was standing in front of the first man.
"There are a few main points to the human body that will cause certain death. The heart and the neck are the most vulnerable. A stab to the heart bleeds more internally. The neck bleeds externally. We prefer the neck. You have an artery right here, right where your pulse is." The Lion said as he touched that part on Sasuke's neck. "A straight cut deep across the neck and they will bleed out within minutes. You need to have a good amount of pressure on it to make it deep enough. Cut from the pulse and follow the line of the neck until you go through his pulse on the other side."
"Don't do this please. I'm innocent. I didn't do what they are accusing me of doing. Please don't do this." The man pleaded with tears in his eyes.
"You have your orders. Either you are with us or you aren't. But you know what will happen if you go against the family. Is that a life you really want? We'll protect you, keep you safe, train you. No one will hurt you while we are around. This is the next step to achieving that. Decide kid."
Sasuke knew they were leaving it up to him, but he also knew there was no choice. Either he killed them or they would be killed and Sasuke's hell would continue. Kakashi said that they would deal with the consequences when he returned. They were going to keep hurting him if he didn't do this and the people would all end up dead couldn't do anything to save these people. He had to do what he could to save his own life. Sasuke pulled out a kunai and placed it against the man's throat. The man was taller than Sasuke and Sasuke had a feeling that this man's blood was going to get on him from this angel, but perhaps that was the point.
"Please." The man pleaded again.
Sasuke didn't say anything though. He knew anything he said would be taken as a weakness and he couldn't afford that. Sasuke made sure there was enough pressure so the cut would be deep and clean. Sasuke pulled the knife across the man's neck and instantly he was sprayed with the man's blood. It hit his face, neck, arms and chest. Once the kunai had went all across Sasuke went to move back, but hands on his arms stopped him.
"Look at him. Keep eye contact. You are going to be the last thing this man sees. This is a moment for you to remember. You will never get your first kill again. Soak it all in. Feel his blood on you. Embrace it." The Lion said.
Sasuke had no choice, but to stand there with his eyes on this man. A man that claimed he was innocent, a fact that Sasuke refused to let his mind think about. This man was a criminal, it was just that simple. It had to be. Sasuke kept his eyes locked on this man. He saw as the blood stop spraying out of his neck and turned into dripping out. He saw as the man's eyes slowly grew darker and darker as the life was drained out of him. Within five minutes it was over, the man was dead. Sasuke had killed him. Sasuke's stomach threatened to revolt, but he forced it down. He couldn't get sick here. That would make everything worse. He had to hold it back. He had to block it all out and later when it was safe to do so he would feel this.
"Good boy. I'm proud of you. You did really good. Now, you just need practice to perfect your technique. You got nine more people to kill before the mission is complete. Don't stop now." The Lion said into Sasuke's ear, but everyone else could hear him.
"You are one step closer to being apart of the family kid. Don't stop now. Keep making us proud." The Wolf added.
Sasuke moved down to the next person and with each kill he made he felt sick. But with each kill he made they all praised him. They told him how proud they were. How they were a family. With each kill Sasuke's mind was slowly being manipulated and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kakashi was walking down the street on his way to his home. He had finished with training for the day and he wanted to head home and wait for when Sasuke might return. He walked past an alley when he heard his name being whispered. Kakashi stopped and without even needing to look he knew who it was.
"Tenzo."
"Sasuke has returned from his mission a few moments ago. I saw him on his way out of the Hokage Tower. He's covered in blood. It's not his."
"How do you know about Sasuke?"
"New ANBU that is young and then Sasuke goes missing from your squad. It was simple to connect. I heard squad thirteen got a new member."
"It's him. He had an elimination mission. The Third tried, but the boss won't listen. They are not allowed to kill him or have him killed, but they are trying to get him to commit suicide. They told him that himself. He won't survive for long."
"No one could at his age doing these things. That squad is relentless and shows no mercy. They are hand picked by the boss because of how cruel they can be. It's the worst in history. I'll see what I can do. Word has already been spreading through the squads about a twelve year old being a hunter. People are disgusted by it. I'll speak to the other Captains, see what I can do."
"I'd appreciate that. I know there are hard feelings because of Itachi."
"That was on him, not on his brother. The other Captains still hold a level of respect for Itachi because of how strong he was. They respect the old him. They won't stand for this treatment of his brother. I'll see what I can do."
"Thank-you Tenzo."
"You're welcome Senpai."
Kakashi didn't need to look to know that the man was gone. He was a good friend of Kakashi's from when he was in the ANBU. They had been on many missions together and now the man was an ANBU Captain. Kakashi was pleased to know that someone within the ANBU was going to be helping Sasuke and with some luck they might be able to apply enough pressure on Danzo to move Sasuke. Kakashi turned and took off to the rooftops to reach Sasuke's apartment. If he was covered in blood Kakashi knew that meant he was right and they had forced Sasuke to do the killing. The blood meant he didn't get to do it with a quick death to the heart. Kakashi had to get there and make sure Sasuke was ok. He wouldn't be, but that was why Kakashi needed to be there. He had to get him through this. He refused to let Sasuke kill himself. He refused to let Sasuke be destroyed. He was too good hearted to be hurt like this. He had been through enough evil in his life he didn't need this to go with it.
Kakashi arrived at Sasuke's apartment and went straight in. He didn't know what he was expecting, but he wasn't prepared to see Sasuke sitting on the floor with his back against the island and his legs curled up against him. What took Kakashi's breath away was seeing the amount of blood that was covering Sasuke. It was all over his torso, arms, neck and his face. It looked like they had bathed him in it.
Kakashi went over to Sasuke and bent down in front of him. Sasuke's mind was shut off though. His eyes were blank and Kakashi knew he had done that so he could get through the mission. Kakashi got up and went over to the sink. He ran a cloth under some warm water and went back over. He spoke as he began to wipe the blood from Sasuke's face.
"Sasuke it's ok. It's over Sasuke. It's ok."
Kakashi continued to gently clean the large amount of blood off Sasuke's face. When it was halfway clean Sasuke's mind started to snap back into place. Sasuke took in a shaky breath as he looked around and saw Kakashi.
"It's ok Sasuke. You're safe now."
Tears instantly flooded Sasuke's eyes as Kakashi continued to clean the blood off his face.
"I killed them." Sasuke said with a hitch to his voice.
"You didn't have a choice. It was you or them. They would have been killed anyways. You did nothing wrong Sasuke."
"He said he was innocent. He begged me not to do it. What if he was innocent? Does that make me a murderer?" Sasuke asked as the tears freely fell from his eyes.
"No. You listen to me Sasuke, you are not a murderer. You are the farthest thing from it. You did a mission. You did your job. Never forget that." Kakashi said with strength in his voice.
He was not going to allow Sasuke to think he did anything wrong. Even if they were innocent he was not a murderer. He had no choice, but to survive. He did what anyone else in his position would have done.
"Tell me what happened Sasuke. It'll help."
"We got to a warehouse. I thought it was just going to be one person, one target, but it turned out to be ten of them. They told me I was going to be the one to kill them. I didn't want to."
"Of course you didn't. They didn't give you a choice."
Kakashi placed the cloth down as Sasuke's face was clean now. The tears down Sasuke's cheeks didn't stop.
"They went inside and told me to wait until they had secured them all. When I went in they all had their hands chained above their heads. The Lion, he's the leader, he took my mask off. He said he wouldn't tell anyone, that they wouldn't tell Danzo. That they were impressed that I hadn't quit yet. He said my first kill was a memorable moment. That it was the first step to making me apart of their family."
"Part of their family?" Kakashi had a feeling he knew what Sasuke was going to say, but he needed to hear it anyways.
"He said if I was family then they would stop punishing me. They would keep me safe and protect me. They would cover for me with Danzo so he wouldn't hurt me anymore. They would train me and I would be their family. All I had to do was kill them. He told me how and then told me to make a choice. He wanted me to cut their necks. He said I needed to feel their blood. I didn't want to, but they were going to be killed anyways. You said to do it."
"I did. They would have killed them and you would have been hurt. You had to survive. You had to kill so you could survive."
"I saw the life drain out of his eyes. He begged me not to. The blood went everywhere. Once he was dead the Lion, he told me he was proud of me. That I was a good boy. They said they were proud."
"They are trying to manipulate you Sasuke. They want to be able to control you. To brainwash you into becoming one of them. To keep your weak. All of this is to manipulate you. You can't let them."
"I know that, but there's this small part of my mind that believes them. That wants to be kept safe from the pain. Each time they told me they were proud, that part of my mind felt good. I don't want to be them, but that small part of my mind wants what they are offering and I don't know how to make that stop."
Kakashi placed his hands on the side of Sasuke's face. He had to make sure Sasuke not only heard, but understood him. This was vital to keeping Sasuke with him. Sasuke was young, he was being physically, emotionally and mentally abused by these men. It would be too easy for them to manipulate Sasuke regardless of how smart he was. He was still a twelve year old boy who lost his whole family in one night when he was too young to even begin to understand what death meant. He was easy prey.
"By remembering that that is what these monsters want you to do. They want to manipulate you. They want you to believe that it's all your choice when it isn't. They are taking advantage of you. They are trying to manipulate you with what your heart and mind truly desires, a family. They don't care about you. They only want to control you and please Danzo. You have to fight against it otherwise they will win. You are stronger than this. I know you are."
Sasuke just gave a nod as he fought back the tears. Kakashi pulled Sasuke in for a hug. He didn't care about the blood that was getting all over him. He didn't care about the tears that were soaking into his chest. All he cared about was this boy. Keeping him alive and healthy. That was all that mattered to him and in that moment Sasuke was close to breaking.
"Don't fight the tears back. You need to cry this out. You need to cry the pain away that is the only way you will start to heal from this. I've done it myself. Anyone who has taken a life has done this. Give your body what it needs Sasuke and cry it out. I don't care how long we stay here like this. Let the pain out."
And with that the dam broke once again. Kakashi didn't say anything. He just held Sasuke against his chest and let him cry it out. He didn't care how long this would take. He would have stayed like this for the rest of the night if that is what Sasuke needed. He would be lying to himself if he said he wasn't worried. Sasuke's mind was giving in easier than Kakashi had expected. It only proved how thick his walls were. He had always known that Sasuke was guarded, but he had no idea he was this guarded. Behind those walls was a scared and traumatized boy. Sasuke's mind was easy to break because it was already part way broken. His mind hadn't had the chance to heal yet after witnessing the horror of his own family being killed. That trauma was making Sasuke's mind weak and would be easy to manipulate.
After forty-five minutes Sasuke had no tears left to cry. He pulled back and wiped at his cheeks, but he still had blood on his hands and that only cause it to smear across his face. As if noticing the blood for the first time Sasuke couldn't stop staring at his hands. At the smell of the blood Sasuke's stomach flipped and it was not going to settle. Sasuke ran to his bathroom and was just able to reach the toilet before he threw up what little he had to eaten that day. Kakashi was right behind him with a clean cloth and a glass of water. He sat on the side of the tub and began to rub Sasuke's back to offer what comfort that he could to him.
Once Sasuke was certain his stomach was finished he sat back and leaned his head against Kakashi's knee.
"I've never been this sick before in my entire life. I just want to go one day without throwing up."
"I know. You'll get better again. We are going to figure this out Sasuke I promise you."
"I need to shower. I need to get this stuff off of me."
"You shower and I will find you some clean clothes to wear. I'll throw these ones in the wash for you." Kakashi said just looking to do anything he could to help.
Sasuke just gave a nod and moved so Kakashi could get up. Kakashi headed out to gather some clothes while Sasuke went and got ready to take a shower. Kakashi made sure to wait until he knew Sasuke would be in the shower before going in and switching out the clothes. He put the dirty ones in the washer and got that started before he went into the kitchen. He wanted to feed Sasuke something, but he knew that Sasuke's stomach was not going to tolerate it tonight. Not after everything that happened to him today. Kakashi settled for making Sasuke some ginger tea to help soothe his stomach. Kakashi was also planning on spending the night here with Sasuke just in case any nightmares came, which Kakashi knew would. He was going to get Sasuke through this no matter what.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Lion stood there in front of Danzo after Sasuke was dismissed. When he was first told that Sasuke would be on his squad he wanted to argue against it. It made no sense to have someone like Sasuke on a squad like this. He was too young. After today though the Lion was starting to see the benefits of having someone like Sasuke around. He was very easy to control and manipulate. They would be able to make him do things that they wouldn't be able to get someone their age to do. Danzo was right if you start young they are easier to mold. The squad had kept their promise though and didn't tell Danzo about Sasuke having his mask removed. They all knew that in order to gain Sasuke's trust they would have to keep their word. It would be worth it in the end.
"How is the Uchiha handling everything?" Danzo asked.
"Better than I thought. His mind is far weaker than I had expected. He's nothing like Itachi. With enough time we'll be able to make him do anything. We got him to kill ten people with the promise of making him part of the family. He wants a family, it's his greatest weakness and that can be exploited. He's very close. We just need one more push with him and then he'll be in the palm of our hands."
"And what would that push be?"
"I'd like to spend eight hours tomorrow torturing him. His mind is even weaker right now from these killings. Eight hours of torture and it'll break. He'll do whatever we say. All with the promise of us protecting him. Being brothers. Though, it would mean you couldn't punish him for anything that may happen outside of this room."
"That still allows me to punish him for anything that happens inside this room. I need him completely brainwashed. I have big plans for him and it will only succeed if he is completely loyal. Do whatever you need to do to ensure that happens and do it fast. The clock is ticking."
"Yes Sir. I'll make it happen."
"Dismissed."
With that the Lion gave a nod and headed out. He had a lot of work to do for tomorrow, but it would be worth it. Tomorrow Sasuke would be their own bitch. He would do whatever they wanted from that point on. It was going to be the ultimate revenge against Itachi for the disgrace he brought to Konoha and the ANBU.

Sasuke walked into an underground training room. He had been on his way to the training grounds when Fox had found him and told him they were going somewhere else to train today. Sasuke didn't know what to expect at this point, but he was glad to be inside as it was already starting to rain. The inside training room was a cement room with chains hanging from the ceiling in one section and the walls were covered in different weapons. Sasuke had no idea what was going to happen, but the sight of the room alone was enough to fill him with dread. He thought yesterday would have changed things in the squad. He thought he was done being hurt by them, but he was apparently wrong. This room looked more like a torture chamber than anything else. Sasuke also took notice that for the first time the others weren't wearing their masks. The Fox removed his as well once in the room and the door was closed and locked.
"It's ok you can take your mask off in here. We're in part of the headquarters for ANBU." The Fox said with a warm smile.
Sasuke removed his mask as he spoke. "What is this room?"
"One of three training rooms we have. One even has a pool in it. Do you swim?" The Wolf asked.
Sasuke just shook his head no.
"We'll have to teach you. It doesn't happen often when we need to swim, but it's better to be safe than sorry." The Wolf said.
"It's good exercise too." The Fox added.
"How are you after yesterday kid? You look tired." The Lion said.
"I'm fine." Sasuke automatically said. Not looking to show them any weakness.
"Come here kid, sit down." The Lion said as he went and sat down on a bench.
Sasuke went over and sat down like he was told. The others all came over and stood around.
"We talked about this yesterday. You can trust us. We didn't tell Danzo about you not having your mask on right? He didn't hurt you. We kept you safe from him. We all told him how impressive you were yesterday. That you were a pro. We did that so he wouldn't find any reason to hurt you. And he didn't hurt you right? If he did you can tell us." The Lion said.
"No, he didn't hurt me. He dismissed me almost right away."
"See. He wanted to hurt you yesterday, but we protected you. Yesterday you started to become a part of our family. We look out for each other. We care about each other. If you are having problems you can talk to us about it. We've all been there. We've all have killed before. We know how the first kill can feel like afterwards. You don't have to hide what you are feeling from us." The Lion said.
"Tell us how you are feeling kid. We won't judge. You don't look good." The Bear said.
Sasuke didn't see any lies in their eyes. He figured after yesterday they had at least proved that they would help keep Danzo from hurting him. They did lie for him.
"I'm tired. I didn't sleep well. I've also had the flu for a couple of weeks now. I got it after surgery. I'm fine though."
"Surgery for what?" The Cat asked.
They were all really confused about why Danzo had put a strict rule on not hurting Sasuke's stomach. It was odd to place a ban on it.
"I had my appendix removed." That didn't fix the curiosity at all among them.
"You got to be careful with the flu. You've had it for a long time. Did the doc give you anything for it?" The Fox asked.
"Vitamins." Sasuke said with a shrug.
"We all take those. Not the best eating habits in this squad. We don't always have the time. Make sure you take them it'll keep you healthy. Two weeks with the flu, at this point it's probably more from you not eating enough when you had the flu and now your body is having a harder time getting back into eating. It can happen. Eat small meals throughout the day to help your stomach adjust back to normal." The Wolf said.
"He's a trained medic. Follow what he says it'll help you get healthy again. And you had trouble sleeping last night from nightmares right? It's ok it happens to all of us." The Lion said.
"How do you live with it?" Sasuke asked trying to figure that out himself.
"Believe it or not, it does get easier. You need to remember that the people we go after are criminals. Even if they are just suspected criminals in terms of the law. We always have enough proof to show that they committed the crime. We never go after anyone that is innocent. And they will all say they are innocent if it gets them out of the situation." The Lion answered.
"You need to learn how to separate yourself from what happens on missions. We are all weapons for the village to use. What happens on missions isn't who you are, but what you do for your village. You would do anything to protect the village wouldn't you?" The Bear asked
"Of course."
"That's all you did yesterday. You protected the village and all of the innocent children in it. You should be proud kid. Just like we are of you." The Bear said.
"They were guilty?" Sasuke asked in need of confirmation.
"They were. They could have hurt a lot of people. You did a good thing." The Lion confirmed. In actuality they had no idea. They didn't care. They loved to kill and torture people. They were all loving the game they were playing with Sasuke.
"It'll get easier, don't worry. You just need to get over this flu and you'll feel a lot better." The Cat said.
"It would be nice to get through a day without throwing up." Sasuke commented.
"Look, we got some training to do today and I'm not going to lie it'll be hard on you. But after today you can take the rest of the week off to rest and that should get the rest of that flu out of you. And you'll be rested and fully recovered from surgery to be able to handle your training. We got a lot to teach you." The Lion said.
"Man the things we need to teach you. You ever use a sword before?" The Fox asked.
"No."
"We'll start there first, it'll take the longest to learn. We also have some books you need to read on anatomy." The Wolf said.
"You just have to get through this part today. We've all had to go through it. We know how you'll feel, because we've felt it." Another lie, but it wasn't like Sasuke would know. The Lion continued. "Today, we need to teach you how to escape into your mind. How to block pain out. To do that we have to torture you. It won't be hard torture, but it will be painful. You need to be able to block it all out in case you get captured."
"Not that we expect you to get captured. We will protect you out there and make sure you are safe. But should something happen you need to learn how to survive without making a sound until we are able to rescue you." The Fox added.
"You want to torture me?" Sasuke asked shocked by this.
"Want to, no. But we have to. We've all had to go through this and afterwards we'll get you through it. Nothing that we do will kill you. I promise. We go for eight hours and not a second more." The Lion said.
"We hate to do this, especially to each other, but we have to with every new member. The last thing we want to do is hurt you kid. You've been proving us all wrong about you and we all started to like you. We want to keep you safe not cause you pain. We want to show you how to live and how to get stronger. After today, you'll be our brother for life. Nothing will ever hurt you with us around." The Cat said.
"That's right. You will be our family, our little brother. You need trust us. Trust that we won't hurt you for no reason or too badly. After today this is it. Any other training will be normal training. You won't have to go through this again. I give you my word. And I didn't break my word to you from yesterday right?" The Lion said.
"Right." Sasuke agreed.
"Trust us kid, this will hurt us just as much as you." The Wolf said.
"Just today?" Sasuke asked.
"Just today. All you have to do is not show weakness. Keep quiet and no matter what don't say the secret word." The Lion said.
"Secret word?"
"We'll tell you a word that you have to keep secret. Think of it as a vital piece of information and we are the enemies trying to get it out of you. That's the whole point of this. You can't tell us that word no matter what we do. If you do that, if you get through this without making a sound or crying. Then you will be our family. You survive today you will be our brother and we will protect you and teach you everything we know." The Lion said.
"Think about it kid. You'll finally have a family again. We'll train you and in no time you'll be stronger than your brother ever could be. We'll show you how to have fun and a good time. You'll be laughing and smiling in no time again. Don't you want a family?" The Bear asked.
"More than anything." Sasuke softly admitted.
"All you have to do is make it through eight more hours. You can do this. We all believe in you kid." The Lion said.
They were manipulating him. Sasuke knew that, he did. Yet, that part of his brain again was screaming at him to believe it. To take them at their word. They didn't betray that trust yesterday with Danzo. They kept him safe. Even if Sasuke didn't want to believe them, this was happening regardless. Even if he refused they would still do it, only it would be worse. Sasuke couldn't show them he was betraying them. That would get him killed or worse. He had to do this and maybe it wouldn't be so bad after this. They said he could have the rest of the week off to sleep and rest. He might be able to get over this flu and finally start to feel like his old self again. It was just eight more hours, he could do this.
"Ok."
They all knew they had him. Sasuke was so easy it was almost pathetic. All he wanted was a family and they were offering him it. He had no idea that they were only playing with him. They were going to make him do horrific things and they were going to love watching as he spiraled down and eventually killed himself. They were enjoying all of this.
"You need to remove all of your clothes even your boxers. We'll chain your hands above your head and then we'll start." The Lion said as he stood up.
"You want me naked?" Sasuke asked uncomfortable with that.
"Any enemy will do the same. First rule of torture make the person vulnerable. It's not like you have anything we haven't seen before." The Lion said with a smirk.
"You don't have to be shy around us. We've seen everything. We've all had orgies together." The Wolf said with a smirk.
"Orgies?" Sasuke asked clearly confused by the word.
"It means when a group of people have sex together." The Fox answered.
"You don't have much education on sex eh?" The Cat asked.
"Not really. No parents so I couldn't be in the sex education class at the academy."
"We'll teach you all about sex. Don't worry about that you will be a pro by the end of it." The Fox said.
"Come on, clock is ticking. Get your clothes off." The Lion ordered.
Sasuke didn't have any choice in the matter so he removed his clothes and did his best to ignore the others in the room. Sasuke was then guided to the middle of the room and his arms were chained above his head. Someone behind him went over to a table behind him and grabbed something. Sasuke didn't move his head as the was also focused on the others in the room. Sasuke looked down when he felt something against his ankles. He saw that a metal bar was being attached to his one ankle and then over to the other. The bar extended to force his legs completely apart as far as they could go.
"There are four types of torture. Physical, emotional, mental and sexual. You will experience all four. Your secret word is thunder. The eight hours starts now." The Lion said.
The Fox came over to Sasuke with this device in his hands. Sasuke had no idea what it was, but he knew he would find out very soon. What he didn't expect was for the man to attach it to his balls and feel them pulling down. It didn't hurt too bad, but it was uncomfortable. He didn't like being touched by them like this. The Fox put a ring around Sasuke's soft cock. Sasuke felt it vibrating and he had no idea what was happening but he could feel himself getting hard. He had never felt like this before.
"That ring will keep you hard and the weight attached to your balls will slowly hurt more and more as each hour passes. Sexual torture." The Fox said.
The Lion picked up a knife and went to stand behind Sasuke. He began to cut into Sasuke's shoulder blade. The Wolf went and stood in front of Sasuke.
"The trick to handling torture is to block it out. You pick a spot in the room, something that doesn't move and you focus on it. You focus every part of your mind on that one spot and you don't look away. If you do it long enough and right your mind will block everything else out around you except for that one spot. You don't feel, you don't think. All you see is that one spot. Pick a spot and focus."
Sasuke did as he was told. He tried his best to ignore the sawing that the Lion was doing on his back. He tried to ignore the Cat burning into his chest. He picked a brick on the wall in front of him and he focused. He could do this. He just had to get through eight hours and then it would be done. Eight hours of pain, but then that would be it. He wouldn't have to be caned by Danzo again. He wouldn't be punished by anyone again. He was getting the rest of the week off to rest. He could spend it in bed and read. Only eight hours stood between him and being pain free. He could do this. He could endure and stay quiet. Block it out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Block it out, it seemed so simple. Sasuke quickly found out that it wasn't. He was able to block it out for awhile, at least until the pain got to be too much and his mind couldn't help but notice it. That happened around hour six. Sasuke found that when you block out the pain when your mind snaps back it's like being hit by a train. His whole body was on fire. He was covered in burns and cuts. Cuts that were bleeding a great deal. He was covered in bruises from being hit with random objects. He had taken stab wounds to his arms, legs and side. All of them were shallow and wouldn't kill him. They were designed to cause a great deal of pain. What hurt the most was his balls and balls felt like they were being ripped off from his body and his dick was swollen and pulsing with pain. Sasuke had no idea how the ring was ever going to come off.
At the seven and a half hour they all stopped and stared at Sasuke. He hadn't made a single sound and he refused to give up the word. But the abuse was taking a serious toll on him. He was shaking and if it wasn't for the chains holding him up he wouldn't be able to. He only had thirty more minutes though and then it would be over.
"You've done really good kid. We're proud of you. Most men would have broken by now, but you haven't. You've proved how strong you are. There is just one last thing we need to do for you to be in our family. We've all had to go through it and today is your turn." The Lion started.
"What is it?" Sasuke forced out through clenched teeth.
"You need to know what it feels like to be raped." The Lion answered.
"You want to rape me?" Sasuke asked horrified and disgusted at the same time.
"No, that's not what we would be doing. I said you need to know what it feels like to be raped, not to actually be raped. How it works is simple. You pick one of us, that person will roleplay a rape with you. It's just rough sex that's all. No one is being raped. It's consensual sex and you get to pick the person you want to do this with. It's done so your mind is aware of what will happen and how it will feel. If you are aware of it, then if it happens to you it won't affect you." The Lion explained.
"We know you've never had sex before. Normally we wouldn't be stopping and telling you this, but you are young. You can pick any one of us to do this with you. Once you are done then that's it for the day. We'll take you down and I'll heal you the best that I can." The Wolf added.
"If you don't then we would have to consider this a fail and continue it for another eight hours. Otherwise Danzo will make it go for days next time until you agree. It's better if you just agree to it now and get it done and over with. You've already successfully gone through seven in a half hours. Seems stupid to go through this again and for longer." The Fox commented.
"And we've all done it. It is really not that big of a deal. It's just sex, any animal can have it." The Cat added.
"Just that and then that's it?" Sasuke asked with a shaky voice. He just wanted this to be over with. He couldn't do this for any longer and the thought of having to go through this for days terrified him. He wouldn't survive.
"Just that last thing and then you are officially apart of our family. You would have done the impossible." The Lion said.
"All you have to do is pick." The Wolf said.
Sasuke didn't know who to pick so he figured it would be best to just pick the leader. He just wanted this over and done with.
"You." Sasuke said with a nod to the leader.
The Lion just smirk and went over behind Sasuke.
"Remember it's just pretend. Don't make a sound."
Sex Scene Begins
The Lion gave Sasuke's ass a hard smack. Sasuke clenched his teeth to keep quiet. The Lion slapped Sasuke hard ten times, leaving red marks and bruises already rising to the surface. He undid his pants and pushed them down slightly before he grabbed Sasuke's hips and pressed Sasuke's ass against his already hard cock.
"You like that eh? Your cock is all hard for me. It feels good doesn't it whore. You want this."
The Lion moved his hand and pushed against Sasuke's back forcing his body forward. The movement bent Sasuke over and pulled his arms painfully behind his head. He felt like his shoulders were going to dislocate. The Lion continued to slap Sasuke hard against his ass. Missing a few times on purpose to hit Sasuke's balls. The Fox came over and placed his hand on Sasuke's back to keep him bent over when the Lion used both hands to spread Sasuke's ass apart.
"Look at that sweet virgin hole. You want my cock eh slut. You're a dirty whore aren't you. I got the biggest cock in the room, nice and thick and long. You picked the right one to fill that tight hole slut."
"You want a condom or lube?" The Cat asked.
"Naw a whore like this doesn't need that shit. He wants to feel my cum filling him up."
The Lion lined himself up with Sasuke's hole and without any hesitation at all he pushed in and he didn't stop until he was all the way inside of Sasuke. The pain was so bad that Sasuke had to bite down on his tongue to keep the scream from escaping. Sasuke could taste blood filling his mouth as he fought to stay quiet.
"So fucking tight whore." The Lion said as he stayed deep inside of Sasuke and slapped his ass once again.
"He's so hard. He loves it. He loves being fucked by you." The Fox said.
The Lion began to pound into Sasuke, making sure he caused him a great deal of pain when he did it. Sasuke tried his best to ignore what was happening and what was being said, but it was impossible. The pain was horrible. He could feel blood starting to run down his legs. He wanted this to end. This was only supposed to be roleplaying, but it felt so real. It felt too real. He had to clench his eyes shut to make sure that no tears came out. He couldn't lose it all now. Not when he was so close to it being done. Sasuke began to count in his mind. He didn't know what else to do, but if he counted at least he would be able to count the minutes down until it would be over. If he was lucky they would be done before the half hour was up.
"Fuck, I could fuck you all day slut. And you would love it. You would beg for it. You love the pain." The Lion said.
He made sure that each time he pounded into Sasuke he hit Sasuke's balls, making them swing back and forth, only adding to the pain that was already radiating off from them. Sasuke kept counting, it was all he could do.
When Sasuke had reached twenty minutes he felt the Lion going crazy behind him. He was groaning and panting with each thrust.
"Here it comes, you ready for me whore? Oh you want it. You want to feel my hot cum filling you up. Here it goes."
The Lion went even faster, something Sasuke didn't think would be possible. Two minutes later Sasuke felt a heat hitting his abused walls, making it sting, as the Lion came with a roar. Sasuke could feel his dick pulsing inside of him, but it was over. He had made it, he had survived this day.
"Fuck." The Lion said out of breath. He slowly pulled out of Sasuke and Sasuke let out a shaky breath as he fought to get his emotions under control.
Sex Scene Ends
"Come up gently." The Fox said as he helped Sasuke to stand back up straight. Sasuke's arms screamed in protest, but he was relieved to be at least standing again.
His legs were shaky and his whole body was trembling. Sasuke could feel the blood going down his legs, but also the cum. He needed a shower. A shower would make it all better. The Lion went to touch Sasuke's arms and Sasuke couldn't help but take in a shaky breath at the contact.
"Sh it's ok. It's over now. You did it, you passed. There's no more tests, no more training like this. We're gonna get you down and then healed." The Lion said in a calm and gentle voice.
They got Sasuke's legs free of the bar and his hands free above him. He couldn't stand though and the Lion caught him and gently brought him down to the ground with his back against the Lion's chest. The Lion didn't move, but instead started to whisper into Sasuke's ear as the Wolf started to heal Sasuke's stab wounds.
"You're ok, you did it kid. I'm sorry for what I said, I had to. I didn't want to do this to you, but you picked me. You consented to this. It's done now though and you did great. You didn't make a sound. I'm really proud of you."
"Take a few slow deep breaths kid. You're safe now." The Cat said.
"I should be able to heal most of your injuries. It won't take long." The Wolf said.
"You did it man. You impressed all of us. We're so proud of you. Now we're brothers." The Fox said.
"And brothers take care of each other and look out for each other. No one can hurt you while we're around." The Bear said.
"We'll have to celebrate this next week when you are feeling better." The Lion said.
"How?" Sasuke asked trying to get his mind back.
"We'll go out. You can't drink, but you can still have a good time. We'll party and celebrate your success. There are lots of places we can get you into." The Lion answered.
Sasuke just gave a nod and watched as the Wolf made his way all over Sasuke's body to work on healing. It was another fifteen minutes when the Wolf was finally done, but Sasuke noticed he left on the device that was hurting his balls and his dick.
Second Sexual Scene Begins
"Your cock is too swollen to get the ring off. You need to be soft." The Wolf said.
"You'll have to jerk off." The Cat said.
"What?" Sasuke asked confused.
"Which part are you confused on? The needing to jerk off or what jerking off means?" The Bear asked.
"Both. Why can't you just take it off?"
"Because it's been on there too long. Your cock is swollen right up and it would hurt too much coming off. I can't get the device off your balls either until the rings comes off. And jerking off means masturbating. You have to touch yourself and make yourself cum." The Wolf explained.
"Just like what you do at home." The Fox added.
"I don't do that." Sasuke said with a slight blush.
"Really? Everyone does it. It's perfectly healthy and natural. It's actually good for lowering your stress. You should be doing it at least once a day." The Wolf said.
"And he's a medic." The Bear said.
"We'll show you." The Lion said as he looked at the others.
They all knew what he was getting at. They undid their pants and pulled out their dicks. Most were already hard from watching their little sex scene before. They all started to touch themselves.
"See watch how they do it. It's the best way to learn, especially with sex." The Lion said.
"This is wrong." Sasuke said.
"No it's not. It's natural. We've all had sex in groups with each other before. We do it all the time. This isn't the first time we've jerked off together, We do it in the shower all the time. The other groups do it too. We're brothers, I thought you wanted to be our brother?" The Lion said easily manipulating Sasuke.
"I do."
"Then join in and be a brother." The Lion grabbed Sasuke's right hand and moved it over to his cock. He started to move Sasuke's hand up and down. "See just like that. Don't think, just feel. It's supposed to feel good."
Sasuke couldn't help but close his eyes at the contact. It felt really good. He didn't understand why, but it did.
"You got a good size cock for someone your age. You're gonna grow up to be nice and big like me." The Lion said.
"The woman are gonna love it. Or maybe the boys. It's ok if cock turns you on." The Bear said.
"Keep your eyes on us. Watch how we do it." The Fox said.
Sasuke opened his eyes and watched the men in front of him. He was trying to do what they were doing, but his arm was killing him from being hanging for so long. A stabbing pain shot through his arm and Sasuke stopped his movements.
"Don't stop now." The Lion said.
"My arm hurts."
"It's from the chains. You'll feel better after a hot bath. Here let me. I'll make you feel real good. It's the least I can do after what we did together." The Lion moved Sasuke's hand out of the way and started to jerk him off slowly.
He leaned Sasuke back slightly so the cum would go on Sasuke's stomach and not on his hand. The men all bent down closer to Sasuke so their cocks were more at his face.
"Get a good look at how we do it. It's the best way to learn." The Cat said.
"What I'm doing to you would technically be second base, kissing is first base. After this one would be oral sex. Where you would be licking a wet pussy or sucking on some cock. Which one do you think you would prefer? Pussy or cock?" The Lion asked.
"I don't know." Sasuke was panting at this point. His mind was so foggy with feelings he had never felt before.
"The way you can't take your eyes off those cocks tells me you'd prefer to suck on them then a pussy. That's ok though, and we can always find out one day. This feels good though doesn't it?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure? Because I could stop."
"No, please. I need the ring off."
"Won't be long now." The Lion was purposely moving his hand slow to buy them time. He was going to make sure Sasuke came last.
"Oh fuck." The Cat was the first one to cum. He made sure to spray it all over Sasuke's face.
"Shit that is hot." The Bear groaned as he was getting close.
"Sorry, didn't have time to move away." The Cat said to Sasuke.
Sasuke went and brought his hand up to wipe the cum off, but the Lion stopped it. The Lion used his left hand and got some of the cum on his finger and brought it to Sasuke's lips. He smeared it all over Sasuke's lips as he spoke.
"Now you are really becoming one of the family. We've all tasted each other. Now it's your turn. Lick your lips, taste him." The Lion stopped moving his hand on Sasuke's cock and he waited.
Sasuke's tongue poked out slightly as he tasted a small amount of the cum that was smeared on his lips.
"Good boy." The Lion said as he started to move his hand once again.
"Fuck. Open your mouth and stick your tongue out." The Bear groaned.
Once again the Lion stopped moving until Sasuke did as he was told, only then did the Lion move his hand. The Bear came with a hard groan as he shot all over Sasuke's face, making sure to get some in his hair. The Bear squirted once onto Sasuke's tongue, but he took his cock and ran the tip all over Sasuke's tongue and moaned.
"Your cock just pulsed. I guess you do like cock over pussy. Swallow it, you know you want to." The Lion said.
"Cum is good for you. It helps settles stomachs." The Wolf said.
Sasuke swallowed the bit that was on his tongue.
"How do I taste?" The Bear asked.
"Salty." Sasuke answered.
"Mine turn." The Fox said. "Stick your tongue out."
Sasuke did as he was told once again.
"Good boy." The Lion said, not even needing to stop this time.
The Fox came with a moan and he made sure he got his load all over Sasuke's face and in his mouth. He ran the tip of his cock over Sasuke's tongue as well before he stepped back. The Wolf did the same and when the others had finally came the Lion picked up his pace.
"You got their cum all over your face. Now you are truly a member of this family. I'm proud of you. You did so good. Now it's your turn to feel good. You're close. I can feel it. You want to see what it feels like to cum?" The Lion said.
"Yes. Please it hurts."
"I'll make it stop hurting for you. I'll take the pain away."
The Lion picked up the pace and Sasuke couldn't stop moaning and panting. Part of his mind was screaming that this wasn't ok, that he was being taken advantage of. That part of his mind was silenced out by the rest of his mind trembling in pleasure. He had never felt this good before and he had no idea if he would ever feel this good again. He wanted to embrace this feeling for everything it was worth.
"He's gonna cum boys. That's it, don't hold back on us." The Lion said.
Sasuke gave a long moan as he came. He shot line after line of cum that covered his stomach and shot up to his chest. He never thought it was going to end and each pulse felt amazing. His whole body was trembling from it. His mind felt like he was high. He didn't think this feeling could ever get old. When he was finally soft the Lion removed the cock ring and then the clamp around his balls. And with that the last of the pain was gone. His whole body was sore and there was still pain in it, but it was nowhere near the level he was at before.
End Of Sexual Scene
"See, told you that would feel amazing." The Lion said.
"Manners kid. He just made you cum." The Wolf said.
"Thank-you." Sasuke automatically said.
"Anytime. Now, you need to get dressed and we need to report to Danzo. Don't worry about him we'll cover for you. You just need to come by the locker rooms first to grab those books then you can head home. You don't need to be in until Monday morning for training." The Lion said.
Sasuke just gave a nod and he went to stand up. His legs were weak and he almost fell, but the Lion helped to steady him. Sasuke got his balance and then went over to get dressed. He did it quickly as he just wanted to get out of here. His mind was starting to kick back in now that the pleasure was gone. Sasuke wanted to wipe the cum off his face, but there was nothing in here that he would be able to use. Once he was dressed they all put their masks back into place and headed out. Sasuke grabbed the books from Wolf on his way out and they went up to speak to Danzo while Sasuke took for the rooftops. He needed to get home and shower. His mind couldn't stop going over what had just happened to him. His whole body hurt, but it was mostly his ass. He could still feel the blood and cum running down his legs and the cum all over his face. He needed to be clean. He didn't understand what was happening. He felt so dirty now, but in the moment at the end all he felt was pleasure. It made no sense to him at all.
Sasuke got into his apartment and stripped off his clothes as he made his way towards his bathroom. Sasuke turned the water on as hot as it would go, not caring about what it could do to his injuries and he got in. Sasuke welcomed the burning against his skin, it meant he was being cleaned. Sasuke scrubbed at his face until it was raw to get the cum off from it. He scrubbed his whole body raw and he still didn't feel clean. The weight of the situation had hit him full force. He couldn't stop the tears that poured down his cheeks. Eight hours of torture was too much for his mind. He couldn't understand that last part. He mind screamed it was rape, but he had consented to it. He picked the Lion to do that to him. He let it happen. He could have said no and chose the other options, but he didn't. He said yes. That couldn't be rape. He let the Lion touch him like that afterwards. He could have moved his arm regardless of the pain, but he let the Lion touch him. He consented again. The Lion wasn't doing anything wrong. He had to train him on being raped. He had helped Sasuke get the pain to stop when he couldn't do it. They were just training him. The Lion didn't want to hurt him like that, Sasuke knew that. Yet Sasuke could still feel the man inside of him. He could hear their words playing over and over again in his mind. Was he a whore? Did he enjoy that part of it? He was hard, even with the ring shouldn't that have made him go soft anyways? He watched as they jerked off. He tasted their cum. He felt their dicks on his tongue. He must have wanted it. Somewhere deep down he must have wanted it. He let it happen. He agreed to it. So then why the hell did he feel this way?
Sasuke's legs gave out and he collapsed into the tub. He pulled his legs up to his chest and cried his heart out at the pain and confusion within him. He didn't care if he was sitting under straight hot water. He just wanted the hands off from him. That was the only clear though running through his mind.

Kakashi was once again making his way into Sasuke's apartment. He was going to be checking in on Sasuke every day when he didn't have a mission. He wanted to make sure that Sasuke was doing alright and wasn't injured. He didn't want Sasuke feeling like he was all alone in the world, because he wasn't. Kakashi walked into the apartment and his nose immediately picked up two scents, blood and sex. Kakashi was instantly on alert, because there was no reason for him to be smelling sex in this apartment. Sasuke was twelve years old. Kakashi followed the scent and saw Sasuke's ANBU uniform spread out in a trail towards the bathroom. Kakashi picked up the shirt and he could smell cum, the same could be said for the mask, but it was more of a hint, like Sasuke had put them on afterwards and the contact got some on it. The bulk of the smell was coming from Sasuke's pants along with the blood. There was only one reason for that to happen. Kakashi had heard the phrase saw red before, but he had never experienced it himself until now. He literally saw red. It took him a moment to get his eyesight back to normal. He dropped the pants on the floor and headed towards the bathroom. He could hear the shower running and he knew Sasuke was in it. There was steam coming out from the bottom of the door and Kakashi feared how long Sasuke had been in the shower for.
Kakashi opened the door and immediately noticed how hot the room was. The water was on straight hot and based on the steam it had been on for awhile now. Kakashi saw Sasuke's shadow in the curtain and saw that he was on the floor of the tub.
"Sasuke." Kakashi called out as he opened the curtain slightly.
The second the water touched his skin it burned. Kakashi could see Sasuke's skin, it was red, raw and parts even looked burned. In the middle of the stream was Sasuke, crying silently. Kakashi reached over and immediately turned the water off. That caught Sasuke's attention.
"No leave it on. It needs to be on. I need it off. It needs to come off." Sasuke panicked and went to turn the water back on, but Kakashi grabbed him and gently brought him into a hug. "You don't understand, I need it on, I need them off."
Kakashi continued to hold onto Sasuke though. "Shh, calm down, just breathe Sasuke. You're burning your skin. It's not going to help you. It won't fix this."
"Then what will? Please tell me. I don't understand. I don't understand."
Sasuke broke down into Kakashi's arm and Kakashi continued to hold onto him. He reached over and grabbed a towel and placed it over Sasuke's lap to provide him with some coverage.
"It's going to be ok Sasuke. You're gonna be ok."
"I don't understand." Sasuke cried again.
He just wanted someone to explain this to him. To explain why he felt like this, but his mind told him it wasn't rape. His mind was telling him he consented to it all, so why did he feel like this?
"Don't understand what Sasuke? Tell me and I'll help you."
"Why do I feel like this?"
"Because they did something unspeakable to you. I smelt it on your clothes. One of them raped you. It's natural for you to be feeling like this. To be feeling like his hands are still on you. They aren't though Sasuke. It's just my hands, my safe hands."
"They didn't."
"Sasuke I smelt it on your clothes. I know one of them did."
"I said it was ok. I picked him. It was training. I consented to it. It was just training, that's all. I shouldn't feel this way. I consented, I know that."
"What they did wasn't training Sasuke. It's just what they told you. Who did it Sasuke?"
Kakashi was filled with rage, but he couldn't let that show right now. He had to stay calm. Sasuke wouldn't be able to handle it if he allowed the anger to come through.
"The Lion. It was just training. They had to go through it too. They didn't want to hurt me like that, but they had to. I said it was ok."
"What was the training?"
"Every hunter-nin has to go through eight hours of torture to be able to learn how to block it out. They all had to go through it. It was training. That's all it was. I just need sleep."
"ANBU don't go through that training Sasuke. They hurt you like this on purpose and they are calling it training to manipulate you."
"No, no they didn't want to. They had to. They even went easier on me so I would pass it. The Wolf healed me and they gave me the rest of the week off to get over this flu. I'm just tired, tired and sick. That's why I feel like this. I consented to it all. I picked him to do it. He didn't want to, but he had to. I picked him. I'm just tired."
"Sasuke, they are manipulating you. I need you to believe me and trust me when I tell you that there is no training like that within the ANBU. They hurt you because they wanted to."
"No, no you weren't there. You don't know what you're talking about. It was just training. You need to leave. I need to sleep."
Sasuke pushed away from Kakashi, but a wave of pain shot through him. Sasuke let out a scream at the sudden pain. Kakashi saw blood running down towards the drain.
"Sasuke did they heal you after you were raped?"
"It wasn't rape."
"Did they heal you after the sex?"
"No. It hurts. Why does it hurt so much all of a sudden?"
"Because your body and mind were in shock. Now your mind is able to feel the pain your body is in. You need a hospital Sasuke."
"No, no hospital."
"You don't have a choice. You probably need stitches. You might need surgery from what he did to you. A grown ass man cannot fit inside of a twelve year old. There is no telling what level of damage he has done to you."
Kakashi was beyond furious at this point. He wasn't going to let Sasuke get out of it. He picked Sasuke up bridal style and used the summoning jutsu to take them to the hospital Kakashi went straight over to the nurses' desk.
"I need a doctor now."
"Bring him into exam room four. I'll call for Dr. Yakushi to come down." The nurse said.
"He needs a doctor now." Kakashi demanded.
"I understand that, but only Dr. Yakushi is allowed to see him. Take him to the exam room and I'll have the doctor come down."
Kakashi wasn't happy about this, but he knew better than to try and change the nurse's mind. Kakashi brought Sasuke into the exam room and placed Sasuke down on the bed. He covered Sasuke's lower half with the blanket on the bed.
"It really hurts."
Kakashi grabbed Sasuke's hand as he sat down on the edge of the bed.
"I know. It'll be ok. The doctor will be here soon and he can heal you and take that pain away. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from this."
"It was training, that's all. It's done now. It's done."
"Don't let them do this to you Sasuke. Don't let them manipulate you like this. They don't care about you. They want to hurt you. They want you to believe whatever they say. You can't let them do this to you. You can't let them manipulate you like this Sasuke. They don't care about you. I care about you. I would never do this to you. I would never hurt you like this even if I was ordered to. No decent person would. This is the farthest thing from training. They tortured you, they raped you and they have you believing it was normal, that you said it was ok, but it's all a lie Sasuke. You know that. It's why you feel like this, your body knows the truth."
"I'm so confused." Sasuke admitted.
"I know you are, but I need you to believe me Sasuke. I wouldn't lie to you."
Before anymore could be said the door opened and Kabuto walked into the room.
"Hatake Kakashi, please leave the room so I can speak with my patient."
"I'm not going anywhere." Kakashi was not about to leave Sasuke alone. He didn't trust this doctor anymore than he did Danzo or those ANBU.
"You are not authorized to be here. Sasuke is within the ANBU and you are not. Leave now, or I cannot treat him and seeing as how I am the only one authorized by Danzo to examine Sasuke he will have no choice but to go home."
"He was just raped."
"Regardless, you are still not authorized. Leave now."
This was doing nothing to ease his anger, but Kakashi had no choice. He turned to Sasuke as he stood up. "I'll be right outside."
Kakashi headed out of the exam room and Kabuto closed the door.
"I need to know if you were raped Sasuke or was this training?" Kabuto asked as he put on some gloves.
"Kakashi said it wasn't. That this isn't training that ANBU do."
"Kakashi hasn't been with the ANBU for awhile. He doesn't know what level of training a squad like you are on has to go through. You are not the first member to come in after this type of training."
"Others have gone through this?"
"They have. I'll heal you and then keep you overnight for observations just in case. In a week from now you'll need to come back for some blood work and a checkup to make sure you are ok. It's important that you remember this was just training. You are in an elite squad with adults Sasuke, you have to learn how to handle what they do. You don't want to be known for being the little kid do you? If you want to be taken seriously you have to be able to handle what they do for work and for play. They won't respect you otherwise."
"This was normal?"
"It was Sasuke. They must be so proud of you for surviving it. Many don't. You should be proud of yourself. You've managed to impress them and that is not easy to do. Don't lose that now because Kakashi doesn't understand."
Sasuke didn't say anything back to that. He was so tired that he couldn't think straight. He needed sleep and then he would be able to decide how he felt about all of this. He ignored what Kabuto was doing and just allowed his mind to shut off. He needed sleep and then everything would make sense. It was thirty minutes before Kabuto finished with Sasuke.
"Ok, stitches are done. I am going to give you a mild sedative to help put you to sleep for a good twelve hours. When you wake up I'll examine you once more before I discharge you."
Sasuke just gave a nod and Kabuto injected Sasuke with the sedative. Once he was out Kabuto used the ultrasound machine to check on his experiment. He wanted to make sure the stress from the torture or rape didn't do anything to harm them. He was pleased to see they were continuing to do well. With that done he went out to where he assumed a very angry Kakashi would be. Kabuto didn't care. He might be considered a Genin in Konoha, but he had Danzo on his side. As long as he was valuable Kabuto could do what he wanted. Kabuto saw Kakashi standing right by the door and it was clear he was not happy. Kabuto made his way over to the now empty nurses' desk to write into Sasuke's file.
"When can I take him home?"
"I am keeping him here overnight just for observations. He can leave tomorrow once I have cleared him."
"Did he need stitches?"
"I am not authorized to release that information to you. All of my findings regarding Sasuke's health reports straight to Danzo. Just like all other ANBU. If you wish to speak with him you will have to wait until he is discharged."
"You can't keep me from seeing him."
"Actually I can. You are not an authorized person to see Sasuke in the hospital. Only his ANBU squad and Danzo have permission to see him. If you'd like permission you'd have to take that up with Danzo, but honestly that would be a waste of everyone's time. Even if you were allowed, I have sedated him to help him rest. He won't wake up until tomorrow sometime."
"When will you report to Danzo about the rape?" This was not helping Kakashi's anger at all. It was like Danzo was doing everything he could to isolate Sasuke and keep Kakashi away from him.
"There was no rape. Sasuke said it was a special training exercise and he consented to everything done to him. In my medical opinion, Sasuke had rough sex with a consenting party. It happens the first time someone has sex at his age. He consented to the whole thing. There is nothing to report."
"Nothing to report? A grown man slept with him. He's twelve years old. It's training alright, training him to be molested."
"Sasuke made an educated choice to consent to the roleplaying of rape verses being trained on torture for another eight hours. He chose the roleplaying to end the torture training. He even picked the man that would do it with him. There was no rape Kakashi, not medically and not in the eyes of the law. You could try and bring it up with Danzo, but Sasuke was not authorized to speak about anything he does while he is within the ANBU. I can't imagine Danzo would be happy about that."
"You can't just ignore what happened to him. You know this was rape. Consent or not."
"What I know is what I am told. Now, I have other things to do. I suggest you leave and wait until Sasuke is back home to see him."
And with that Kabuto was gone. Kakashi was pissed. He had never been this pissed off before his life. Kakashi couldn't even see inside the exam room to check on Sasuke. He headed out and went to the one place he would be able to get some answers, Tenzo's apartment. Kakashi needed to know who the Lion was so he could make sure that this never happened to Sasuke again. He couldn't stop that Sasuke was in this squad, but he was damn well going to stop them from ever touching him like this again. Kakashi knocked on Tenzo's door and walked right in once he opened it. Tenzo had never seen Kakashi this angry before.
"I need to ask you something that I know I'm not supposed to. But this is important." Kakashi started.
"Of course Senpai. What's wrong? You've never been this mad before." Tenzo said as he shut his door.
"I need to know who the ANBU is that goes by Lion."
"You want me to reveal the identity of an ANBU. You know I can't do that."
"Dammit Tenzo he raped Sasuke." Kakashi snapped.
"What?" Tenzo asked shocked.
"They tortured him for eight hours today. Told him it was training and that they had all been through it before. That he had to do it. After they tortured him for eight hours they then told him that he had a choice to make. Either they could torture him for another eight hours or he could agree to experience what rape feels like. Roleplay it. They made him pick which one, like he was going to agree to being tortured for an additional eight hours. He's twelve years old. He had no idea what the roleplay would do to him, what they would do to him. He picked the one that would have been faster, what he thought would have been less painful. They made him pick which one would do it. He thinks it was consensual. That it was just training. I had to take him to the hospital. He was bleeding, he probably needed stitches. He's twelve years old and a grown man forced himself inside of him. They have him believing he wanted it, that he said it was ok."
"They could have killed him. His body isn't designed to handle sex right now, not with a full grown man. They could have caused internal bleeding. He's lucky he only needed stitches. What were his other injuries?"
"The Wolf healed him from them. Apparently, being raped didn't concern him enough to heal that part. I need that name, you know I wouldn't ask you unless it was important. That doctor won't even let me see Sasuke. Said I'm not authorized, that Danzo didn't give me permission to see Sasuke when he is in the hospital. I can't tell Danzo what happened to Sasuke because then Sasuke is at fault for telling me about secret ANBU training. All I can do to protect Sasuke from this happening to him again is to ensure that son of a bitch never touches him. I can't do that without a name. Please Tenzo."
Tenzo gave a nod as he spoke. "Tempra Mika. You'll find him in training grounds two at this hour. He likes to watch the younger ninja train. He likes them young. Danzo doesn't do anything about it. Mika tried to drug another Captain's son a year ago, all Danzo did was tell him not to get caught next time."
"That's great. He's a child molester and Danzo is allowing it to happen."
"All five of them are the worst of the worst. Danzo picked them all for that reason. It never used to be like that, but Danzo felt it was better to have Hunter-nins as emotionless as possible. They are worse than the criminals they hunt. They have no souls, no hearts. They will kill, torture and rape at willing. Danzo allows them to do whatever they want and covers for them as long as they keep making him look good. Sasuke is just a new toy to them. The Lion is the leader, if you put the fear of God into him, that fear will trickle down to the others. I'll keep an eye out for Sasuke and do what I can. Like I said the other Captains are worried as well. I'll do what I can."
"Thank-you and I'm sorry for forcing you to break your oath on this. But I needed to know. I need to stop this from happening again."
"I know you do. And you didn't force me to do anything Senpai. I offered the name. I could have said no. Be careful."
"I will."
Kakashi made his way out of the apartment and headed straight for the training grounds. He was not going to let this man turn Sasuke into one of his victims, not again. Kakashi found Mika easily enough in one of the trees watching a group of male ninjas working out. Kakashi threw a kunai at him, the man easily dodged it but that was what Kakashi wanted. Kakashi came up behind Mika and grabbed him. He held onto the front of Mika's shirt and slammed him up against a tree placing his knee between the man's legs. When most would have been afraid to see an enraged Kakashi in front of them, Mika just smirked.
"Heard did ya? I guess I need to talk to the bitch about telling people about our training. I'll make sure he doesn't talk anymore."
"You think you're tough? You tortured and raped a defenseless twelve year old boy." Kakashi said through clenched teeth.
"He was so easy too. All we had to do was tell him he would be apart of our family. He just had to pass that one training session. All he wants is a family. He wants it so bad that he will believe anything we tell him as long as we treat him like he's one of us. Pathetic. At least his piece of shit brother wasn't so weak minded."
"He's a traumatized kid and you took advantage of that to hurt him even more. You're supposed to be protecting people like him."
"I don't do protection. But I guess he would know all about that now wouldn't he. I pounded into him without any lube or a condom. I've never felt an ass that tight before. I could have fucked him for days. It only sucks I couldn't hear him scream." Mika gave a chuckle before he continued. "He thanked me afterwards too. We put a cock ring on him. Shit his dick was so swollen I thought it would fall off. He sat there and let me jerk him off. We told him it was a bit of sex ed. The others jerked off on his face and I made sure he tasted each and every one of them. All it took to break him was forcing him to kill ten people who were probably innocent and eight hours of torture. I think next time I'll see what it feels like to shove my dick down his throat. I bet he'll moan after awhile. They always do."
That was enough for Kakashi. He wasn't going to let this son of a bitch anywhere near Sasuke like that again. He wanted to kill him, but he couldn't. He would if he had to later though, he didn't care if he ended up in jail for it. Kakashi lashed out and punched Mika hard across the face earning him a satisfying crack as Mika's nose broke. Kakashi continued to punch him until his face was a bloody mess. Kakashi then slammed him back against the wall and watched as Mika tried to stay conscious.
"You listen to me you piece of shit. If you ever lay a land on Sasuke like that again, you or your friends. I'll kill you. They'll be finding your body parts for years by the time I'm done with you. I am stronger and more powerful than you could ever be and you fucking know it. Keep your hands off from him. I'll know if you don't. He'll tell me and then I'm going to find you and make you scream. This is your only warning."
And with that Kakashi used all of his strength and kneed Mika right in the crotch. Mika collapsed down onto the ground withering in pain. Kakashi turned and walked off. He didn't know if Mika would take his threat seriously or not. All he could do was be there for Sasuke and hope this never happened to him again.
