Chapter 7 – Interrogations and Second Chances

'Naruto and the rest arrive at the T & I Department where Ibiki greets them.'

Ibiki: Hokage-sama, Kazakage-sama, what brings you to the T & I department?

Tsunade: Well Ibiki, we have two Akatsuki members sealed in the scroll the Kazakage has and we would like to use your expertise to see what kind of information we can get on the Akatsuki. You can use any means necessary to get the information, but from what Naruto told me the seal he has on both of them, I doubt that you are going to have any trouble with them. Either way, we will monitor the progress of the interrogation to make sure they don't try to escape or anything like that.

Gaara: Ibiki-san, here is the scroll Hokage-Dono mentioned.

Ibiki: Thank you Kazakage-sama, Hokage-sama please leave it to me to get all the information that I can. You can observe the interrogation out here while I take them into the interrogation room.

Naruto: Ibiki-san, I would like to go into the interrogation room with you, if that is okay Tsunade? I placed a seal on the both of them that I can control. If they give you a hard time or don't want to divulge any information, I can take their chakra away from them that would turn them into civilians which would make your interrogation a whole lot easier! I will only observe and use the seal if I need to.

Tsunade: Yes, that is fine Naruto. Ibiki, please proceed.

Ibiki: Right away Hokage-sama. Come with me Naruto-san.

(Ibiki: I wonder why the Hokage is allowing the Kyuubi boy to go into the interrogation with me and since when does he know how to do seals? I know his father and mother were proficient with them, but never knew the brat was. This boy just gets more and more interesting! I can't wait to see what he really can do!)

'Inside the interrogation room with Naruto, Ibiki, Sasori, and Deidra.'

Naruto: Ibiki, please place the scroll on the table so I can release them and you can begin your interrogation.

(Places scroll on table)

Kai: Release!

Naruto: Ibiki-san, they are all yours. I will stand back and watch just in case they try anything funny. They both know what the seal does so I doubt they will give you a hard time.

Ibiki: Thank you Naruto-san. So, gentlemen, we can do this the easy or the hard way. It's up to you, but I hope you decide to go about things the hard way! (Smiles a sadistic smile).

Sasori: Morino Ibiki, master of interrogation both physically and psychologically, as much as I am sure you want to use your torture methods on us there is no need to use any techniques on us. We surrendered on our own free will and are willing to divulge information on the Akatsuki.

Deidra: You know this person Sasori?

Sasori: Not personally, but this man is known throughout the elemental nations for his abilities to get information from prisoners. He has the ability to subject people to great suffering without ever using physical torture, or so it is said. Kisame killed all his comrades once because he found out that this man in front of us was going to interrogate them.

Deidra: Whoa, are you sure this is the same guy Sasori my man?

Sasori: Yes. Trying to be deceptive with this man is only going to hurt you in the end. I suggest you give up any information willingly.

Deidra: Fine, Hmp! So what is going to happen to us once we give you the information you want, Hmp!

Ibiki: That all depends if the information you provide us is valuable or not. Also, it depends on what the Hokage and Kazakage decide.

Sasori: Fair enough.

Deidra: I guess, hmp!

Ibiki: Let's start with the following, how many people are in the Akatsuki, who are they, and what abilities do they have that you can tell us?

Sasori: There's a total of 10 members including the two of us and all are S-Ranked. The leader maybe SS-Ranked, that, I'm not 100 percent sure since we have never really seen the full extent of his abilities, but he has the legendary dojustu, the Rinnegan. Because of the Rinnegan, it is said that he is able to manipulate all the elements and can do gravity manipulation. He is known as Pein. His partner is Konan. She has the ability to manipulate paper and can use Earth, Wind, Water and Yang release.

Then, there is the zombie brothers Kakuzu and Hidan. Apparently, they are both immortal. What they are able to do, I'm not sure. Even though we are all part of the same group, we never really interact with one another in person and I never met any other member except for Konan, Deidra, and the Snake Sannin, Orochimaru, but he is no longer part of the group.

Then there is Uchiha Itachi, which I am sure you don't need us to go into detail about and his partner, Hoshigaki Kisame, the tailless beast and member of the Seven Swordsmen of Mist. He's a big water jutsu user.

The last members are Zetsu and Tobi. Zetsu is a plant like looking creature who is our spymaster. That is all that is really known about him and is a complete mystery. Tobi, he wears an orange spiral mask and acts like a baka. He has a Sharingan, but we don't know if he is an Uchiha or if he has it transplanted like your Copy-Nin Hatake.

That's pretty much it about the group and its members.

Deidra: Sasori my man forgot to mention that we hunt the Jinchuriki or the tailed beasts that don't have a host, Hmp! Not sure why though. Leader never told us why, but he is someone you don't say no to if you want to live, Hmp!

Sasori: As of right now, only the one-tails has been captured. We don't have an official base of operations, we use any abandoned caves to rest all over the elemental nations. We sealed the One-Tails into this statue that leader summoned, so it is safe to say he is the only one who has access to the tailed beasts once sealed.

Deidra: The sealing takes up to three days but can be longer depending on how many members are doing the sealing and it can be tiring standing still the whole time, Hmp!

Sasori: After giving you all the information we know on the Akatsuki, I have a question, but it's not for you Ibiki or the Kages. I have a question for you, Naruto, Kyuubi Jinchuriki.

Naruto: Me? Why would you have a question for me? I'm nobody and am only a Genin of my village.

Sasori: Somehow I doubt that with the power you displayed back in the cave. Anyways, how did you know about my 100 puppet technique and to place the seal on my heart? No one knows about my 100 puppet technique nor that my heart is the only organ i have that is actually alive.

Naruto: Well, the questions that you asked, I am unable to answer as to how I know, but I know and I know that all the information you provide about the Akatsuki is true, but there is more information that I am able to add on top of what you guys provided.

(Sasori: Hmm, I wonder. Is he a Yamanaka and entered my mind to read it? No, I doubt that, but there is something about him that has me warry of him.)

Sasori: Fair enough. I guess that is all the information that I have that I am able to provide. What now? What happens to the both of us?

Ibiki: Well now that that is out of the way, Naruto-san, can you reseal them while we talk to Hokage and Kazakage on what we are to do next?

Naruto: Sure.

"SEAL!"

Naruto: That went easier than I expected Ibiki-San. I was actually hoping that they resisted and I got a chance to see you in action!

Ibiki: Maybe next time kid. Let's go.

'Outside the Interrogation Room with the Kages'

Naruto: So Tsunade/Gaara, what's the next move? I have more information that I can add to what was given, but will do so at a later time, maybe you can call a Kage summit and we can pass along all the information to the other Kages and try for the shinobi alliance earlier this time around and move towards peace for everyone. There's people I want to see, but can't until peace is achieved.

(Thinking of all the people of Uzu and his Jiji.)'

Anyways, before the summit, I can start with training people to start a taskforce to start eliminating threats like the Akatsuki and Orochimaru.

Tsunade: Who exactly do you want to see Naruto, from what I understand, everyone you know or knew is still alive.

Naruto: True, but there are others I want to see, but can't disclose of who. I promised them that I wouldn't say anything and even though I have changed, the one thing about me hasn't, my nindo, my ninja way and I don't go back on my word!

Tsunade: Damn brat! I hate and love that about you, but I will respect your decision. Gaara, what would you like to do next with the information provided and with the two S-Ranked criminals?

Gaara: Well Hokage-Dono, if possible, I would like to take Sasori back with me to my village. I'll decide with my council on what they would like to do with him since he is a missing nin from my village.Also, I would like to reunite him with Chiyo-sama since he is her grandson.

Tsunade: Tsk, fine. Take him. I'll deal with the mad bomber or just send word to Onoki and see what he would like us to do. Maybe that will help with the tension our villages have and help with him agreeing to attending the summit. Naruto, can you explain to both Gaara and myself what exactly the seal that you placed on Sasori and Deidra do?

Naruto: Well, to keep it simple without any confusion, it can basically destroy their chakra coils so they can never mold chakra again if I so choose. It also acts as a tracker beacon if we are ever in the need to track them if we decide to let them live.

WOW/WOW (both GAARA and Tsunade said at the same time)

Tsunade: Just how good are you with seals now Naruto?

Naruto: That's a secret granny, well for now at least. I'll reveal my abilities at another time.

Tsunade: Tsk, fine. But it better be sooner rather than later. If you really know me and how I am, then you know that I am not the most patient person there is!

Naruto: Dully noted granny! Come on Gaara, I will drop you and you siblings off. See you in a few hours granny and it was a pleasure working with you Ibiki-san!

Ibiki: Likewise Naruto-san!

(Tsunade: Time to send word to Jiraiya to return back to the village. If I know Naruto like I think I do, then things are going to get interesting and I could use the pervert for support.)
