Morino Ibiki...
Execution
"Last Words"
The enemy had captured him and brought him to the encampment. Ibiki had told his group of ANBU before every mission to leave him behind if the team obtained the mission objective and he was captured. They did not listen, and the enemy took Ibiki as a hostage.
"They have surrounded us, captain." A red head woman from the Hidden Stone Village said entering the low lit room where they tied Ibiki down to a chair. They had took away his forehead protector that he used to over his bald and mangled head still scarred with craters; some of them have been reopened to learn about his team.
He had told them only this about his team under their pressure: "If you want to survive against them, execute me outside during noon. This would benefit us both."
"How so?" the captain had asked calling off his torture specialist.
"I may be forced to relieve information soon, but it would be my last words," Ibiki had explained, "because I love my country as much as you love your country to gain from my final words to you. This would be useless as my team will kill you after you kill me."
"As a reasonable man, I agree that would not be in anyone's inclination," the captain had shuddered, "the soldier pills have allowed us to live with our resources cut off, so your team must be deadly and we are deteriorating from the pills. But my love for my country will permit me to do irrational feats. Right now, my honour of my country is hurting your country since your espionage has done my beloved a great disservice."
"And if you could hurt my country and avoid being killed by my team?" Ibiki had asked. "This would be reasonable?"
"What do you have in mind?" The captain had asked. He took a metal container and drank from it out of the burning light over the captive. After a moan of relief, he wiped his mouth with his long black sleeve. "I do want to hear those last words you would have with me."
"When you execute me outside, I will use my last words to re-order my team to vacant and return home." Ibiki had replied. "They will not disobey these words."
"You are a desperately honourable tool of your country, and to kill you in this situation would make our countries proud." The captain had mentioned. "Tomorrow at noon, you will order your team to leave and I will kill you."
"As one person who loves his country to another," Ibiki had started, "I request two simple things. One, you will not clean the blood from me so my comrades can understand what I went through for my country. The second thing, I want to die with my precious forehead protector."
"Granted," the captain had said.
So at noon, the five Hidden Stone Ninjas brought Ibiki outside and he dropped to his knees. The captain nodded to him.
"These are my final words," Ibiki shouted, "I request to see the faces of my team."
The four members came out; they all had their masks off. Uchiha Itachi, Aburame Shinobu, Yamashiro Aoba and Hatake Kakashi kneeled down a few meters away from Ibiki placing and placed their swords down.
"We will kill every one last of you," Shinobu put on some blue tinted sunglasses with thin metal frames.
"I will not guarantee I would never if you let him live," Itachi added receiving a hard look from his long red haired teammate and hearing a sigh from Kakashi.
"Must you add crap like that?" Kakashi asked and spat to the side. "You have my word that his subordinates will not harm you or your team if Ibiki is pardoned from your incarceration. Goro, is it?"
"Goro is my name," the captain replied with a smile appearing on his thinning face filled with protruding veins.
"And to mention," Added Aoba, "if you do not free him, Goro, then more of your colleagues will die trying to bring you resources."
"Enough," Ibiki ordered licking off a stream of slow blood coursing down his face. "You have disobeyed me once, but you will be forced to follow my request. Even you, Itachi will head back home on my request. It is for all of you to head back home to inspire the youth of my story so such love can be passed to them. Tell them in my lore that I said something profound in my last words."
"No," Itachi yelled as his teammates dragged him quickly away from the explosion. Ibiki was left alone and was given his forehead protector rested down in front of him folded up with the symbol upright.
"I did not want to cry in front of them," Ibiki said, "but I will miss my love. She meant so much to me and on my forehead protector on the other side of the symbol; I had her initials craved into it. Since my hands are bounded behind me, could someone rip it off my forehead protector and show me. I want her in my mind even more than my own country."
"You are too sentimental," the captain spoke and ordered a member to grant the request. The guy removed the metal symbol and held it in front of Ibiki's face. Goro looked over Ibiki's shoulder to the back of the metal plate and recognized the marking. "No, it's a seal."
"So long, shit sticks!" Ibiki spat blood onto the seal and the encampment blew up.
Team Leader
"Last resort."
The Hokage sat near Ibiki to give him a mission concerning the arrival of Itachi and Orochimaru, two S-class ninjas, to Konoha. Under careful consideration, the Hokage determined it best to allow a group of Leaf Ninjas to bring the sand Genins to the Chuunin Exam so the Genin Team could disarm the traps leaf in the Forest of Death by their previous entrances.
"They do not need to know what we are doing," the Hokage said, "the Hidden Village of Sand has been cut down to prevent a war, and to allow Orochimaru or Itachi to stop them from arriving here because Wind Country did not have enough ninja resources would tarnish our reputation with the other countries and could start a war. In my judgment, to safely bring their only Genin team to Konoha will prevent war."
Around them on this pergola on the roof top, birds chirped and tweeted. Ibiki nodded as he rested against a pillar with his arms crossed and looked over the dawn of Konoha.
"How should I form my team?" Ibiki implored Sandaime.
"Wait," the Hokage said, "you have doubts."
"This does not seem like a mission a leader can win," Ibiki replied.
"Now I can answer your question and dispel your doubts," Sandaime spoke, "so you wish to know how to form your team. Start with Aburame Shiro; you have worked with this clan before and had balanced the struggles between Konoha's two most notable clans: the Hyuga and Uchiha clan. Then ask for his opinion of who to choose and so on until you get six members for your team. As for your doubts of a leader to win this mission, the victory will belong to the team."
"You speak the truth," Ibiki admitted, "but how long war can be prevented is unknown."
