A blonde curled into the corner of the room away from the soft thing the humans had made him sleep in. He didn't remember what it was and it couldn't be any good. A sound came from the door he looked up to the human that treated him well, two other humans followed her into the room. Looking at them from his safe corner eyeing them only the woman looked almost like a lab coat but didn't have the mean glint in her eyes like them.
She came slowly over with something on a tray, it smelt weird but good trying to peek at what was on the tray. He knew that it probably was meant for her or someone else. Taking his eyes off the tray before he could get in trouble for eyeing someone's food. Quickly glancing at the other two humans who enter which they stayed near the door way a small clack noise brought his sight back to the woman who was now just inches infront of him. Sweat dropping from his face not knowing what she wanted "Hey your body needs food, this is for you eat up." she watched him.
He looked down at the food than back to her with his head tilted as if asking if it was ok. "Hey its your food. Eat." she got up and went to the two humans standing there and they all began to leave. The blonde whined not wanting her to go, she was nice and calm to him unlike the other lab coats. Tsunade stopped at the door to look back at Naruto feeling bad "I will only be outside, I'll be right back." Naruto whimpered not wanting to be alone but his stomach growled making him shrink back knowing that he was just a nobody and they held all the power.
Slinking back to the corner with his head down. Laying in a curled ball staring at the food, sure the lab coat said it was ok to eat but he just didn't feel hungry even though his stomach was stating otherwise. The lab coats would sometimes play mean tricks on him when he was caged, they had teased him and others but it got to the point where they put plastic food in at points just to watch.
He watched the humans from his corner, they were talking about something or other never really paying attention had helped save him several times. He didn't even budge when someone walked back in, the human sat down and pushed the tray of food that he had been staring at closer to him.
He shifted his head so he couldn't see the tray of food or the human, why couldn't they just let him go. He wasn't human they should have known that but why treat him like one it made no sense to him. "You need to eat. You won't grow if you don't eat." the pink haired girl forced a smile.
Somehow he knew when they forced themselves to be kind or generous, it would lead him to pain and needles. He swiped the tray away with a flick of his tail, food was knocked over and spilt onto the tray and floor. He didn't want to eat, they would just take him to a room where they would poke and prod him until he bled. He hadn't screamed in pain for several years now because he knew it was useless to resist.
A sigh came from the doorway, the blonde took a peek through his arms and saw a pale human with dark black hair with a scowl etched unto his face. He spoke to the two people at the doorway and his scowl deepened, "Stupid dobe." with that he left the group. He heard movements infront of him and saw the human cleaning the mess he created, he tightened himself into a tight ball waiting for the punishment for making a mess.
Sakura watched the blonde tighten into a tighter ball and was trembling. Picking up the food and the tray she went to the doorway uneasy as she left with a full tray of food. Her teammate they rescued hadn't eaten anything since last night and that was not much. She knew to not expect much for the next several days but this was not going to help him if he wasn't going to eat.
Sasuke watched the blonde cower in the corner like an animal, he knew from some of the reports that he gave to Tsunade that they did somethings that were even more crude then even some other illegal businesses they were able to shut down. But he just didn't know how to help his comrade that they rescued after years of confinement and experimentation. Orochimaru was dead, his assistant on the other hand was mia as they still had yet to find his body in the rubble they called a science lab.
They were called into Tsunade's office along with the others that had been on the rescue squad. She sighed heavily as if she had bad news to tell them and in turn they were stiff anticipating the worse of it.
"Well I presume you know why I brought you all here so let's just get down into it. So Naruto seems to have regressed in age just by looking at how he has behaved since you brought him back but without testing him to make sure I am only guessing this. He does hold intelligence but he does not seem to remember his own name, we need to get him to remember but we need to be cautious and patient." she went on more about how he may see this place as the same place as that horror place that deemed it as science. How Naruto may or may not react to people and how to react to him.
