Onwards to part iv
NARUTO
As Naruto walked out the room, Yomi turned to the blonde. "That was fast, what happened?"
Naruto walked to the wall in the hallway before lightly putting his head against the wall, looking down at the floor. He had no idea what had just gotten into him. "I don't know man, I must be really drunk."
"Why would you say that?"
Naruto put a hand to the wall, before turning back to the ANBU. "What we're doing to that kunoichi, it seems… cruel." Naruto could only imagine the expression on Yomi's face.
"Cruel? Cruel?! That piece of trash assisted in the invasion of our village, the DEATH of the Third. How is any of this cruel?" Naruto shot his hands up in defense.
"Look, look, you think she wants to work for him? She did tell us everything she knew about him right?" The fellow shinobi nodded. "Right, and she said that she was a prisoner of Orochimaru, and that he had pitted all the prisoners against each other to the death."
"That is what she claims, Baka, she can very easily be lying to let herself off the hook."
Naruto squeezed his eyebrows together in focus, "I still think we should give it a shot. She's a Jonin ninja after all, she could contribute to the vill-"
"And you would have this traitor live amongst us! You are as stupid as you look!" Yomi shouted.
"I don't have time to deal with this, I'm leaving." Naruto said bluntly to the ANBU, turning his back to walk away. He stopped after a couple strides before turning back around. "Ummmm, how do I get out?"
Yomi rubbed the temple of his mask before groaning and making a hand sign. A moment later, both ninja found themselves standing on top of the roof of the academy. Naruto flailed his arms in the air as he caught himself from falling off the building. "You could've fucking warned me!" Naruto grunted.
"Be careful where you choose to go, kyuubi. There's ANBU everywhere on patrol in the village since the attack. Think wisely." Yomi said, before leaving the blonde and zipping atop the Konoha skyline. Fucking dickhead.
Naruto leaped off the roof and headed for the one person he knew would hear him out.
Lady Tsunade was drooling on a stack of documents, having passed out during another long night of endless, tedious paperwork, when she woke up to a loud bang against the window. The Hokage snapped her head back to the source of the noise, to find an open window. I don't remember opening the window.
"Turn around, grannie."
Tsunade snapped her head back facing forward, to find bone other than the numero-uno-most-annoying-ninja-ever Naruto standing with his arms crossed in front of his chest. "Oh kami have mercy."
Naruto ignored the comment before continuing "I come to you with a proposal." Naruto had been thinking of his elevator pitch as he headed for the Hokage's office, and he felt that he had it pretty on point. Time to talk-no-jutsu.
"And what might it be? Does it have to do with Sasuke?"
"No. Well in a way, yes, actually. But promise to hear me out first, okay?" Naruto gestured with his hands. Lady Tsunade nodded as she stood up to get herself some tea. Naruto started his pitch.
"Okay so I'm sure you're aware that we caught one of the Oto ninja right? I assume so, anyways I was thinking that we should, instead of killing her, put her on probation or something for extended period of time and rehabilitate her into a Konoha kunoichi. She has no ties to Orochimaru, and my gut says she's genuine when she says it. I-" Tsunade put a hand up to motion Naruto to be quiet as she returned to her seat.
"As the Hokage, I am kept informed on all matters that pertain to the village. I am already fully aware of the kunoichi we have under control, and the limited Intel she provided."
"Orochimaru is paranoid snake shit, he won't tell anyone else about key facts, he's smarter than that." Tsunade nodded in agreement to this. "Plus, if she probes loyal and becomes a ninja in the village, she could help us navigate the Oto countryside when we do eventually make a move."
Tsunade raised her eyebrow, scratching the bottom of her chin. "She's still a safety concern little one. She could try to defect very easily. Or retaliate against the village."
"Then we can keep a tracker on her or something, put her under probation so she can't leave. Have someone keep an eye on her."
Tsunade groaned and muttered something under her breath before biting her pencil. After a minute, she spoke up, saying "Fine, she can stay and we will follow with your idea. But YOU are gonna take her in and have to monitor her on a 24/7 basis so that she doesn't get any interesting ideas. Understood? If you mess this up Naruto-" the genin interrupted Lady Tsunade mid-sentence, "Worry not, grannie, trust me I'll do what I must for the safety of my village, I won't anything happen. If acts funny, I'll kill her myself." This seemed to assure Tsunade. Who nodded her head curtly and motioned her hands to dismiss the blonde. Naruto wasn't quite done yet though.
"Oh, and grannie."
"Y-Yes?" the woman said back simply.
"Could you fix her legs, it's grotesque to look at and feels wrong to ignore." Naruto said, scratching the back of his head.
"I'll see what I can do. Now go, I have shit to finish."
"Thank you Lady Tsunade you can count on me!" and with that, Naruto dashed out the room. Tsunade looked where the ninja had just stood, deeply perplexed by the situation at hand. What's this joker up to?
TAYUYA
Back in the prison cell, Tayuya had awoken from her uncomfortable-as-fuck nap on the floor, after a gruelling torture session. She was relieved to have earned the mercy of the last individual, as her body could not withstand anymore punishment. They had tossed her around like a ragdoll and done as they had pleased with her for kami knew how long. It felt like years but was probably closer to a few hours. I wonder how long I have till I die. Had they been in Otogakure, she would either be dead by now or mutilated beyond recognition. Pansies, not that I'm complaining.
So she waited. And waited. And waited. Did she mention she was still starving. And thirsty. Fuck! The solitary room was getting to her nerves now, and she found herself speaking to herself before long, though only a mutter.
Eventually, after an unknown span of time, Tayuya woke up to the bang of a loud door open. As the redhead pulled her face of the floor, coughing as she looked towards the source of the noise, she heard a pair of footsteps walk up to her. "Oh what the fuck do you mother-"
"Today's your lucky day." The ninja immediately grabbed her by her arm, before tossing her into a wheelchair, and strapping her onto the chair. This must be a BDSM person's wet dream. Tayuya was gonna make a statement as to her discomfort on the chair, but the ninja put duct tape over her mouth. "You don't just know how to shut the fuck up, do you?" The ninja muttered before shaking his head and strolling the prisoner-of-war out of the room.
As Tayuya looked out into the hallway that the door opened into, it was pitch black. She couldn't make out a single thing in front of her, and she had no idea how her 'custodian' was navigating, taking numerous sharp turns as they continued to walk down the abyss. After several minutes of walking, her helper suddenly stopped the wheelchair, before walking around her and walking away into the abyss. As Tayuya witnessed the man abandon her in the chair, she started to shout through the duct tape, desperate to capture the man's attention. Once he had disappeared, however, Tayuya started to look around frantically. She started to bang against the chair, in hope of breaking out of her constraints, but to no avail. The straps around her torso were tight and did not budge. The habanero's fears were compounded when the floor seemingly fell out from underneath her chair, and she felt her seat fall through the eternal darkness. Tayuya could feel her chair accelerate as it fell down, and she closed her eyes, bracing herself for whatever it is that awaited her at the end of the abyss. The feeling was short-lived though, and she soon noticed that her chair had stopped falling.
She opened her eyes to find herself in a small, white, hospital room. In the room was the blonde ninja that she had encountered earlier, along with a tall, busty woman, who looked to be in her late twenties. The woman straightened herself up, before she began to speak "Tayuya of the Sound, consider what's happening to be a second chance of sorts. We have a proposal for you."
