Chapter 2: The Subliminal Silence…
A/N: WARING TO ALL VIEWERS! THE FOLLOWING CONTIANS SCENES OF INTENSE VIOLENCE AND TOTURE, VIEWER DISGRESSION IS ADVISED!
Silence, normally it would be a peaceful and tranquil thing, but to the eight teens watching what was going on in the room before them. The subliminal silence entailed a sight of pure horror. Over and over Marino hit Naruto's chest with an iron rod, leaving small gashes that bled, and over and over Naruto didn't even make a sound, in fact you had to look very closely to see the small wince that took over his face with every hit.
"All I want is the word boy, give it to me and all this pain can stop right here right now, give it to me now or I will be forced to step this torture up." Marino said in a very soothing voice to the already suffering teen before his eyes.
Naruto scowled at the man and spit on his boots in a sign of pure defiance. Marino slapped the boy hard across the mouth causing a slight bit of blood to drip out of his mouth.
"We shall see how defiant you are after level two, stupid boy." Marino said with a scowl as he grabbed Naruto's hand in his own and held it tight.
"We are going to play the classic game of ten questions boy, I will ask you a question, if you don't answer, or lie to me then I will break your fingers, one by one… Question one, what is your safety word Naruto?" Marino said keeping his sad eyes hidden from the boy.
Naruto just simply kept his mouth shut and bit down on his lip as Marino snapped his left index finger. "You are being very stubborn and taking on a lot of unnecessary pain young one. Question number two, what is your safety word Naruto?"
The same series of events happened over and over again, until Marino had broken all ten of Naruto's fingers. "You are a fool boy…but I will admit that you are strong, but you will break boy, so why not just give up now and save yourself a lot of pain by giving me that safety word?" Marino asked, while Naruto answered simply by spitting up some blood on his boots, which in turn got him another slap across his mouth.
"Its time for level three Naruto lets just see how much of a man you really are…" Marino said while pulling out a piece of metal from a small lantern, the tip was glowing red hot. Marino waved it in front of his face letting him feel just how hot it was without touching his skin. This is your only chance Naruto, tell me your safety word or you leave me with no choice…" Marino continued to speak in a soft voice trying to break the boy's spirit down.
Naruto once again answered with silence and was stabbed right above his scar with the red hot metal. A gasp escaped Naruto's lips as he lifted himself up by his horribly shaking arms as he fought with everything he had to hold back from screaming. When Marino pulled the metal away from Naruto's body in slumped down. Naruto was shaking all over and was covered in sweat and blood.
Marino examined Naruto and decided that he was still fine for torture. He then told Naruto that level four would begin as soon as he gathered up the necessary tools for the job. He then walked out of the room and was gone for five minuets before a woman stepped into the room.
The group of eight in the other room had a look of complete terror in their eyes. All the girls were crying and even the boys were tearing up for their comrade. They watched as the women walked up to Naruto and struck up conversation.
"Hey, normally I wouldn't do this but I'll strike a deal with you kid, give me a hint as to what your safety word is and…I'll give you a shot of painkillers, what do you say kid?" She asked him while holding up the needle squirting some of the liquid out just to add to the effect.
Once again Naruto simply answered a question by spitting on the person's boots. The women scowled and walked out of the room. Not even two minuets after she had left did Marino come back into the room. "Congratulations on passing level 4 Naruto, you have done well, only 3 more levels to go, can you do it Naruto? I very seriously doubt it." Marino said while pulling back a sheet revealing a needle with a strange orange liquid in it.
"This, dear friend is known simply as fox fire, it is a serum that will make your entire body feel like it has burst into flames. Just for kicks, I will give you a small taste of what is to come…" And with that Marino stuck the needle into Naruto's arm and injected a small amount.
Naruto's entire body arched up and he bit his lip so hard he burst it open to keep from showing the pain. He gasped as the feeling left and began to suck it deep breaths.
"Now Naruto, if you don't give me that damned word then I am going to have to inject this whole serum into you, and I don't want to have to do that, so why don't we just call it a day and have you give me that word huh bud?" Marino asked softly to the shaking boy.
Naruto bit his lip and shook his head miserably as another act of pure defiance. Marino sighed and inserted the needle into the boy's chest and drained the entire liquid into his system. This was too much, even for Naruto to handle; he arched his back and let out a scream that pierced the night all over Kohona.
Naruto groaned and whimpered until the serum wore off and yet still he refused to tell the man the safety word.
Marino gave Naruto's body another check over and saw that still, somehow, he was fit for more torture, he guessed that it was the Kyubi trying to heal the wounds as quickly as possible, but there were just too many to heal, and it seemed that the Kyubi was getting tired.
Every single one of the eight kids in the other room were sobbing at the pure amount of pain that Naruto was undergoing, and most of them were begging him to give in and give him the word.
"Okay Naruto welcome to level six, this is it Naruto, the final chance." Marino said. After that he spoke into an intercom and had all eight of his teammate's line up in front of them. "Take a look Naruto, and remember all the pain that you went threw, and imagine every single one of them having to go threw the same pain. Now it is time for you to make a choice, you can both condemn your friends and not give up the password forcing them to all undergo the torture, or you have two separate options. One is to give up the password and free yourself but still condemn them, or you can choose to take level seven, this will save them from any torture, but I must warn you, there is only one person who has survived all seven levels of our practice torture and lived. What is your choice?"
Everyone yelled at him to give up the password and save himself and to not worry about them until Marino screamed at them to be quiet because Naruto was about to make his decision.
"I choose……."
