Days passed. Soon months. Soon I was there for half a year. Sasuke hadn't come to talk to me again. It was like he wasn't interested in me. Like I was last weeks left over's. I had become stronger. My hair was now below my ears. It was no longer sticking up. My wounds had finally healed. My shoulder was still burned with movement. It figured it was something I would have to live with. I no longer slept heavily. I slept lightly. When I had the first chance of escape, I would escape. I would wake up every time a guard walked down the hallway. They watched me closely. I'm not sure if it was Sasuke's or Zenaku or if I was there curiosity. I had a feeling it was all three. I had tried several times tried to have the fox let me see everyone back home but for some reason he wouldn't. I don't know if he was protecting me of something or if he couldn't do it again.

I sighed as I rolled over. I faced the wall not wanting to see outside. People still cried, screamed. People were tortured every moment of the day. Someone died once a day. The majority of the time it was from Zenaku. I heard the door open and my eyes stayed closed. I wanted them to think I was asleep. If I had an opportunity for surprise, I would take it.

"Get up," The guard said shoving me to the ground. I stood up not speaking. "Look at you. You look savage. You look like a beast." The guard said poking my ribs. "You looks starved." I bet I did look savage. Only getting enough food to survive. Looking thin, pale from never seeing the sunlight, scars on my back, shoulder, and arm. I didn't doubt I look savage. "Not going to speak?" He laughed.

"I do look savage because you fat pigs are eating all the food," I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"What did you just call me?" The guard's face was turning red. He was fat. He wasn't skinny.

"A fat pig," I dared. I was suddenly on the ground looking up dazed. I felt my shoulder throb.

"You will be punished for this." The guard said storming out while slamming my cell door.

I was left alone on the floor in pain. My shoulder was throbbing. It was like everyone of them knew I had hurt my shoulder and it still caused me pain. I sat up and that only caused my shoulder to throb even more. I grabbed it and leaned against my bed. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes.

"Why did you call him a fat pig?" Zenaku drilled me.

"Because he was pissing me off," I said. I was no longer afraid of them. I knew they wouldn't kill me. They would leave me close to death but they wouldn't kill me. I was needed to win the war for them. Why would they kill me?

I was thrown to the ground by Zenaku. "You will not talk to me like that. That was no excuse to call the guard a fat pig." Zenaku turned around and I stood up. "Take him away. Put him in chamber four."

I was dragged out of the room and down a hallway I had never gone down before. Chamber four? What was that? They dragged me down hallways I had never been down before. I had never been to this part of the camp before. A guard took out a key and opened the door. Inside the door were more doors. There were four on each side and they were numbered one through eight. The guard took me to in front of chamber four door. He slid in the key and opened the door. He dragged me in there and held me against the wall. He took a shackle and clipped it to my wrist. He did this with my other arm and feet. I was soon suspended in mid-air. I had my arms stretched to either corner of the room. My legs were shackled together attached to the ground. "Have fun," The guard laughed locking me in the room. I was left in a pitch black room.

I wasn't sure how much time had passed. I knew it was longer then a day, shorter than a week. I had gotten use to not seeing. At first, I had tried to struggle out of the shackles. I knew it wasn't going to do any good. When I eventually gave up, my shoulders began to burn. I was hanging from the corners of the room by chains. My shoulders were being pulled out of their sockets.

As I hung there, I thought. Thought about a lot of things. Thought about Hinata, Jiraiya, my parents. I knew my parents but knew nothing about them. I knew they were Namikaze Minato and Uzamaki Kushina. I knew my dad was Hokage. That I looked exactly like him. I knew he created the Rasengan and the Hiraishin. The only thing I know about my mom is she had red hair and was very tom-boyish. That's the extent of the information I knew. Nothing more. I wanted to know more about them. I want to actually know them.

I wondered what Hinata was doing. If she was worried about me. If she was concerned. If she still loved me. I still love her. If she was with a different man. If she thought I wasn't coming back. If she thought I was dead. Hinata was one of the few things keeping me going.

More time went on. How much, I don't know. I had long ago passed hunger. I was no longer hungry. It was like that didn't exist anymore. I knew my body was weakening. I need food; I need water. I wasn't going to last that much longer without water. I don't remember the last time I had drunk something. It had been a long time. Food was something I was use not having. I would do weeks without food. It was something every ninja had done. They needed to during certain missions or if they were fighting in a war. My body was soon going to shut down if I didn't get food or water soon.

More time went on. Finally, the door opened. I was blinded by the light. I quickly closed my eyes. I heard the guard laugh at me. I opened my eyes to fell the guard slap me across the face. It hurt like hell. "I would have left you in here for another week. Then I wouldn't have to look at you because you would have died." The guard said unlocking the shackles. For some reason, he unlocked my wrists first. I slumped forward when my right arm was unlocked then I fell forward when he unlocked my left arm. I smacked my head on the ground and felt blood flow from my head. He laughed and unlocked my feet. He then kicked you. "Get up."

I struggled to getup but I couldn't. I didn't have the strength. "Get up know." I stood up and staggered forward. The guard laughed at me the whole time. He took me to Zenaku's office. He was sitting at his desk and looked up when I fell into the room. The guard kicked me again and I gasped as the breath was knocked out of me.

"Naruto, if you wouldn't put yourself into these situations then we wouldn't have to punish you." Zenaku said walking up to me. He looked down at me. "I don't want to see him. Take him into the room and get information out of him." I was lifted up and dragged into another room. I was tied to another wall and the guards began to ask me questions. I didn't know the answers to the questions. When I didn't speak, they hit me.

I was put through a brutal integration. They left me in my cell. I had no energy to get up. I had no energy to get up. I'm not sure my shoulders would cooperate with me if I wanted to get up. I stayed on the ground and fell asleep.
