So, you want me to tell you what really went down during the invasion? Or are you all set with the lies you spin your children? Oh, don't give me that, Ibiki. I know all of your tricks. Psychological torture simply won't work. Now, I'd be happy to tell you the true story behind the death of the Yondaime Kazekage. I just have a few conditions.

One, there is one in your village called Aburame Shino. I require a talk with him after my part of the story is done. Let's just say he knows more than he's letting on.

Two, my release form your prison. You probably saw that coming. Well, I have much work to do, and I'm afraid I simply can't get it done here.

Three, I'd like access to a certain book, currently in possession of the Hokage. It's absolutely vital that I get a hold of this book. It could be a matter of life or death for someone very near and dear to me.

Myself? Oh, no. Not for me. For Orochimaru-sama. No, I can't tell you that. Nice try.

Will you give me these three things?

Excellent.

All right, the real story behind the Kazekage's death.

As you can assume, Orochimaru was behind the invasion. But neither he, nor anyone under his command committed the actual act. You see, that was done by a roving band of rouge ninja referring to themselves as the Eisei clan. Oh, you've heard of them, have you? I understand they've given Konoha quite a bit of trouble lately.

Yes, well, two of them seemed to have a real grudge against the honorable Yondaime. The boy, Kushin, I believe it was, and the young girl, Senshi. Although, it may have been that Kushin was the one with the grudge, and Senshi agreed with him. I've had dealings with her in the past, and she gets very… fired up when one of her own is threatened or wronged somehow.

I believe it was Senshi that came up with the plan to frame Orochimaru. After all, have you spoken to the boy? Not quite right in the head, and I'm sure you agree with me. The girl, though, she has a head on her shoulders to rival that of your own little genius, Nara Shikamaru. By the way, I wouldn't bother trying to get any information out of him. He only knows what he's been told.

By who? Well, that takes the fun out of it. You'll just have to wait and see.

Heh… something smells rotten in the state of Konoha, eh?

But I digress. Senshi put together a plan to assassinate the Kazekage. I'm sure, due to Kushin's genjutsu ability, that in his last moments he saw things no one should see. Have you ever been caught in one of his spells? Nearly impossible to break, and it fools your senses into thinking you're experiencing the worst pain imaginable, both physically and emotionally.

One can only wonder where he takes inspiration from.

Now, the older three of the clan and the monkey, Mazamaru, had no idea that their "children" were plotting this attempt. They weren't planning on getting involved with the invasion, no, although we did offer them a position. They didn't take it, although they did not give grounds for it. The old woman simply asked if Orochimaru was still in the Akatsuki, and when we said he wasn't, they left.

Two days later, we found the corpse of the Kazekage and the two children. Kushin spat on it then walked on, and Senshi giggled and followed him. I simply asked what they had done, and Kushin replied, in a calm tone of voice, "Killed the first of four people on my list."

Yes, he has a list of people to kill, and no, I don't know who was on it.

Look, that's all I know, and if you don't mind I'd like to speak with the Aburame boy and collect my book before I leave.
