Episode 32: Interrogation
Ice woke up, lying on a table. His wrists and ankles were bound. His blade was gone.
"What the- where am I?" He asked.
"Relax, Ice. I'm on your side." Said a female voice. The voice belonged to a young woman with long blood red hair, and light blue eyes. She was wearing purple and black ninja gear, and she was sitting in a chair with her legs crossed at her knees. She was beyond Ice's line of vision. She made a hand sign. "Don't you remember the sound of my voice?"
A genjutsu implanted memories of the woman into his head. "Oh... right..." Ice relaxed. "You're posing as an interrogation officer with the Village Hidden in the Steel..."
"Correct. Unfortunately, if I let you go they'll know my secret. And they'll also know when you're lying. So when I begin to ask you questions, you best answer correctly. Or something bad will happen."
"Alright..."
She stood up, and her hair went down all the way to her ankles. It flicked around, and it rubbed against Ice's wrist, loosening the binds that held him. Not to where he could escape, but to where he was more comfortable.
"Let's start with something simple..." She continued to walk around the table, loosening the binds with her hair. "What is your name?"
"Inuziki."
"Alright, Ziki... Tell me... Why are you here?"
"Got a mission."
"From whom?"
"I don't remember his face. But his name is... Oh, crap. Hang on. Tadashi. Tadashi Fujino."
"That will be all. Thanks for your co-operation..." She walked out.
She meant up with the other interrogated. "Ice said that Tadashi Fujino hired him."
"Hm. That man described Tadashi Fujino but he didn't say a name. It could just be a lie though."
"Technically we have no proof that he was involved. But we'll be gathering information. Watching him closely."
Kenpachi grinned, as he faced the terrorists.
They all jumped apart. "If we attack him in sync then we might be able to defeat him." Said Three.
"If you all attack me at once then you might have a chance of actually injuring me. But this will probably be no more of a work out than my morning exersizes."
"Kiyoshi." Growled Yellow. "You attack first."
Kiyoshi put chakra into his blade, and he slashed at Kenpachi, despite being about ten yards away from him. Chakra flew at Kenpachi, but he easily leapt up into the air, and dodged it.
Three leapt up after him, and notched an arrow. He let it fly, and the arrow pierced down at him. Kenpachi looked up, as Three made a hand sign making the arrow into a ton of arrows, raining arrow hell on Kenpachi.
Kenpachi landed on the ground, and Outsider ran at him with a kunai. He slashed her head but she dodged it.
Kenpachi laughed. "Is that all you got?"
"How is he still alive?" Asked Kiyoshi.
"Oh dear..." Kenpachi told them. "Forget what I said before, my morning exercises are tougher than this."
"Kenpachi is a demon. I fought him once before when he was a child. And Kenpachi had several chances to kill me, but didn't for the sake of the fight." Three said.
"Taro?" Kenpachi asked. "I just remembered. The Chunin Exams! You're that guy who used arrows!"
Taro nodded.
"So you're a terrorist, eh?" Kenpachi yanked the arrows from his flesh.
"Our job is to eliminate you, Zaraki."
"Is that so?" Kenpachi asked.
Yellow charged at him, suddenly in his partial human form. Kenpachi slashed down at him, and slashed across his shoulder. Kenpachi grinned, and then slashed down at him again, this time aiming for his head.
Kiyoshi took the hit for him, the blade hitting right on his head.
Kiyoshi slashed at him, but the blade didn't have any effect on him.
The Captain yanked his blade from Kiyoshi's head. His helmet broke in half.
"Crap, he broke through my armor..." Kiyoshi and Yellow jumped backwards.
"I told you. Zaraki is a demon." Three notched another arrow. He aimed it at Kenpachi. "We all need to attack in sync. After my arrow goes flying, you need to attack at him, Three. Then after his attack you need to attack him, Outsider. Be prepared before he actually finishes. And Killer. Get him from behind."
"Are you done yapping, yet?" Kenpachi gripped his sword.
The arrow flew towards him, instantly everyone was in action.
Kenpachi dodged the arrow, and he blocked Three's attack with his sword, cutting his foot. He then spun around and slashed Outsider from the left shoulder to the right hip. He stabbed forwards at Kiyoshi, who managed to dodge it with just a chip taken from his shoulder.
"Outsider's down." Three mumbled, everyone else jumped backwards.
Yellow could hardly walk, but he managed it.
The large group of ninjas were continuing to look for the hide out that Rinji was in. They hadn't been successful.
Rinji was hanging there, and he watched as the scientist walked away. He grinned, and he bit into his lip really hard. No good. He thought. He moved his neck around, and he slammed his nose against his shoulder.
His nose began to drip. Blood dripped to the floor, and his eyes turned white. He pulled at the handcuffs, and then smashed his nose even harder into his shoulder causing his nose to break. Blood gushed from his nose, and he yanked himself from the cuffs. He then smashes his ankles free.
"Rinji's Berserk Mode has been activated." Said Rinji's father. "I can sense it."
"How do you know?" Yozo asked.
"Well, a father sort of has a feeling whenever his son is in trouble. And Rinji's definitely out of trouble. He's going to slaughter all of them. We better slow down so we don't get caught in the cross fire."
"We're quite a ways away." Said Yoichi. "Slowing down won't make a difference. Depending on how big it is then Rinji-sensei should be able to kill all of them before we get there. And if it is big then we could just wait outside."
"Good plan, Yoichi." Said Tatsuzo.
Rinji charged through a hallway filled with people and he killed every one of them. He darted through the halls, and he found a strong looking man. He had a spear at his back. He grabbed it, and he hurled it at him.
Rinji didn't try to dodge it, he just tanked it in the chest. He yanked the spear from his chest and he threw it back at him. He jumped backwards, and managed to dodge it. He caught his spear, and then hit Rinji across the head with the blunt head. Rinji punched him in the face, and knocked him backwards.
He stabbed Rinji in the chest, and kept pushing and forced him against the wall.
"Sorry, Rinji Toichi. But I had to kill you."
Rinji grabbed the wooden part of the spear, and he broke it off. He then stepped forwards, and got off of where he was impaled by the spear.
"Oh sh-" Suddenly Rinji grabbed his hair, and slammed his head against a wall. Blood splattered everywhere. Rinji turned around, and he darted through the hallway. Leaving a trail of blood behind him. Most of it from getting stabbed, part of it being that his hands were dripping with that man's blood.
Kenpachi frowned. "You're all slow. Ice was a much better fighter than all four of you combined. I guess I'm going on the offensive." He was suddenly right in front of Kiyoshi, and slashed him across the chest, ripping straight through his armor. His cut wasn't that deep, his armor taking the worst of it.
Kenpachi ducked under an arrow and he slashed Taro's bow in half. He then stabbed forwards, but stopped an inch from his chest.
"They don't want me to kill you. So I'm not going to." Kenpachi then stabbed Three in the shoulder, and he got slashed across the back by Yellow. Kenpachi threw Taro backwards, and he slashed down at Yellow, who jumped backwards and dodged it.
Kenpachi stabbed Yellow in the shoulder, and forced him against the wall. He was unable to move, but he wasn't dead. Kenpachi stepped over to Taro, who was holding his wounded shoulder.
"Where is Rinji Toichi?"
"I don't know." Taro growled.
Kenpachi grabbed him by the front of the shirt, and he yanked him straight up and at the same time he punched him across the face with his other hand.
"WHERE IS HE?" Kenpachi roared.
"I... don't.. know..."
Kenpachi hit him again, this time knocking several teeth on the ground.
"ANSWER ME!" Kenpachi readied to hit him again.
"I already told you-"
Kenpachi didn't hit him again. This time he forced his thumb into Three's wounded shoulder, and he began to press. Three groaned.
"Answer me, or I'm going to keep pressing."
"Killer and Three were the ones in charge of taking Rinji... I wasn't involved in that..."
"Who the hell is Killer and Three?"
"Killer is the armored swordsman... Three is the cat man..."
Kenpachi threw him to the ground, and he tore Killer's armor open. He then yanked The Knight upwards. "I know you're still alive." He growled. "Play dead and that's how you'll end up."
Killer opened his eyes, and looked Kenpachi in the eye. "Three was the one who took him, I didn't take part in-" Kenpachi threw him against the wall, and he walked over to Three, who was still stuck on the wall. Kenpachi grabbed his sword.
"I'm not going to ask it again. If you make me repeat myself again, I'm going to kill every one of you." He growled.
"That Toichi brat's in an Akatsuki base. You'll never find it unless you're a tracker. Toichi will never escape unless he-" He was suddenly cut off by his own screaming as Kenpachi yanked the sword out of his shoulder. He flicked some of the blood off of it, and he sheathed it.
Kenpachi walked away, as all of the terrorists lied there, unable to fight any longer. One after another, they passed out.
Notes: I'm aware that Ice is the one that is bad with names and not Grime. I screwed that up a little, sorry about that.
