Inoichi surveyed the room before settling his gaze on the third Hokage, waiting for his approval. The Hokage tilted his head giving the blond permission. Inoichi hands motion Sasuke to stand in front of him.
"I recommend that you get comfortable, this might take a while." Inoichi spoke haltingly. The small crowd shifted in their seats attempting to get more relaxed. Naruto loosened his grip on Minato's coat and snuggled into Minato's side. Minato shifted the position of his arms and rested his arm around Naruto's shoulders unconsciously.
Sakura hitched her loose-fitting shirt she had borrowed from Samatha. She shifted her legs in an uneasy manner while biting her underlip, her body was tense as she abided to be absorbed into Sasuke's head. Dreading what she was going to witness.
Inoichi hands moved in a rapid speed as he maneuvered his hands in a familiar motion. One moment they were all in the Hokage office, thereafter they were in a dark corridor with ceiling lamps going on and off in a bizarre way. The walls were coated in blood red and cracks and dents were everywhere.
The small crowd walked in a noiseless atmosphere. Only the sound of the lights turning off and on. Chills crept up Fugaku's spine. He has gone through a lot of things in his lifetime, but this outdid it all. He wasn't certain what made this outstrip all he had encountered in his life, but something about seeing what is inside his son's, who he knows roughly nothing about, mind made him feel revolted in his stomach. The thought occurred to him that he is one of the people that made his own son's mind so ... grim. Fugaku felt so powerless and unfit for a father. He didn't even dear to ask what the hallway signified.
After walking down the corridor, they spotted an exit. It was a dull, green door. The doorknob was surprisingly clean in comparison to the rest of the place.
Inoichi halted in front of the door and turned around and scanned once over every person. He stood there awhile before he addressed to the crowd. "We are now entering Uchiha Sasuke's memories. As we know, there will be a lot of unpleasant sights that will be seen once we enter this room. So if any of you want to withdraw, speak up now. You cannot go back once you have stepped inside there."
None of them even battered an eyelash. They all stood there determined and ready for anything.
