Chapter 8
Naruto, Hinata and Shino arrived at the class with just 10 minutes to spare, they had started to walk slower the closer they got, after all none of them really wanted to know what Anko had cooked up in her sick twisted mind. Even Kyu shuddered, remembering one of the few times Naruto had made Anko mad at him in the future. Sure he was stronger than her but still.
Just as they seated themselves, the others arrived as well. Team 7, one by one, first Sasuke who now seemed to be the one who had drunken bad milk, it seemed that even murphy had a sense of humour. Next came Kiba who seemed bummed that none of his 'teammates' wanted to eat with him, he hadn't even gotten the chance to ask them, they had left directly after Iruka-sensei's speech ended. Then Sakura entered nearly directly after Kiba, she had wandered around looking for Sasuke but didn't find him. Of course as such she had not even eaten the lunch made for both her and her Sasuke by her mother. So from the moment she saw Sasuke she started screeching and nearly flew to him: "Sasuke-kun! Where were you, I had a special lunch prepared for us." Of course the majority was for Sasuke as she was on a strong diet, it wouldn't do to get fat right, even if that fat would go to the perfect place.
Then team 10 came in, at the very least they seemed to have gone to dinner together. And were at least somewhat friendly. However from the moment Ino saw Sakura fawning all over Sasuke, she reverted back to being a squealing fan girl and immediately forgot about her teammates.
'Oh god I forgot about her also being a fan girl. We really need to get her over him quickly, I don't think I can stand her being such a fan girl for another year.' said Kyu.
'I know, but how do we go about it, last time it took him betraying Konoha before she got over him.' said Naruto to Kyu and Hinata.
'Well she did listen to reason so maybe if we plant some seeds now, she can get over him faster and we won't have to see her heart broken, even if she was a bitch during the academy I don't want to see her hurt.' added Hinata.
Hearing about planting seeds of doubt, Naruto got a wicked idea, and Hinata seeing his smile didn't think Sasuke was going to like it. So Naruto put his plan in to action and said just loud enough for Sasuke to hear but not really, "Boy Sasuke must really be gay, having one gorgeousgirl and a pink haired banshee throwing themselves at him like cheap sluts and he doesn't even blink."
Sasuke and Sakura only hearing the first part of it directly turned towards Naruto.
"What was that Dobe."
"Yeah what was that Naruto-baka." screamed Sakura coming towards Naruto to clobber him. However Hinata quickly intervened seeing where this was going and actually liking the idea. Kyu really had been a bad influence on her. Hearing the last part of Hinata's thoughts, that was accidently transported through the bond. And seeing where this was going, Kyu just started giggling.
"You heard him Sakura, or are you equally deaf as you are blind. Sasuke could only be gay, who else would reject each and every girl of his class. Any sane straight guy would've automatically take advantage."
"So Sasuke-kuuun," began a now transformed Naruko," why do you ignore all of usssss."
"I'm not gay Dobe!" cried out Sasuke, not even blushing slightly or even glancing at the naked form of Naruko.
"Sure, say that again after you at least show some reaction like a normal human straight being." Replied Naruto after transforming back into his normal self.
"Ugggh. Just leave me alone, Dobe."
They could've continued hackling Sasuke for quite some time but at this point Asuma and Hana entered before calling out.
"Team ten follow us." Called Hana.
Shikamaru and Choji just went out of the door as they were on the seats closest to the door. Ino however was still frozen from where she was when she heard the first comment. She just walked past them but stopped just as she walked by Naruto and Hinata.
"Did you mean, what you said, the second part." Ino whispered lowly so just Hinata, Naruto and Shino could hear.
"Yes, every word, what I didn't add was that you're too good for him." Whispered Naruto, so soft that only Hinata and Ino herself could hear," I would think long and hard about what you know about him if I were you. He really isn't worth it but then again what do I know I'm just a straight guy."
Ino just walked by after that, in deep thought, not really noticing anything about her surroundings nor the worried looks she got from both Hana and Asuma, or the glances they shot team 8.
Directly after the door closed after Asuma, it was slammed open again, with so much force that it even shut again, thus ending the dramatic entrance Anko wanted before it even began. Trying to salvage the situation, she just half opened the door and stuck her head in to shout, "Okay you maggots, meet me and Nai-chan on training ground 8 in ten minutes, if you're late well, just don't be." smiling sadistically as she retracted her head.
Looking at each other for a split second, they all dashed for the windows at the same time, not having the time to use the stairs even if they were on the third floor. After all training ground 8 was on the other side of Konoha.
Hurrying across the roofs because they didn't want to cut through all the traffic, Hinata and Naruto couldn't help but admire Shino and feel a little annoyed; after all he had kept so much secret during the academy, especially from Hinata who seemed to at least have been friendly with Shino.
Though now that he saw the real speed, Naruto had to say he was impressed, if it weren't for his extensive training the last few weeks he wouldn't be able to keep up, with his gravity seals turned on of course, hell without them he could outrun ANBU and chuunin alike, even when he was still just an idiot. Hinata was even more annoyed but was also joyous, it had taken at least a month the last time before Shino began showing his true skills to her and Kiba, so she was joyous because he was already showing what he was made of. Plus the fact that she now could keep up was a definite bonus. Though she thought the imminent threat of Anko had more to do with him showing his true skills then him showing it because he trusted them.
Shino in the meantime was also impressed with them, the fact that they could keep up with his real skill, did nothing if not impress him. But he didn't mention anything, he just noted it among all the other things he had noticed about them that had changed the last 2 weeks. And although they could just be showing their true skills a little bit more just like he was now doing. However for some reason he couldn't completely believe that, he was sure that wasn't the only reason, maybe part but not the entire reason.
Since they could all use the roofs and all had quite an impressive speed they got to the training ground 8 in a little over 9 minutes.
"Wow Nai-chan, 9 minutes to go from the one end of village to the other, I must say they've got me impressed. We could never do that when we were just out of academy and from what I can see on their profile, they also never did this during the academy."
"Hinata-channnn, why is it that nobody seems to believe me to be fast while I at least led the ANBU around the village once a week?" whined Naruto. Hinata just shrugged before Kurenai continued on, ignoring Naruto completely.
"You're right Anko, I don't think those files contain anything truthful, I mean Naruto was described as the class dobe who always wore a kill me orange jumpsuit."
"Hey what's wrong with orange?"
"Except that it screams, HEY I'M OVER HERE, PLEASE KILL ME, absolutely nothing." said a smirking Anko, seemingly forgotten that she was mad at Naruto, Naruto of course didn't buy the ruse but he still replied," And again everybody seems to forget that I nearly weekly hid from those same ANBU after I led them on my merry march." But once more Kurenai ignored him.
"Then we have Shino, the class medium in nearly everything. No impressive speed, stamina or ninjutsu, also about average taijutsu. But just now showed impressive speed as he did run through the entire village in a little over 9 minutes. And last but not least Hinata formerly Hyuuga, always known to be the meek little girl who anyone could push over, especially when I left her two years ago when my job ended. But from the little I can see in front of me, she's even more confident than you are Anko, while she should be worse."
"Don't say that Nai-chan, I got a reputation to keep." but then she smirked" so now that our info seems flawed what do you suggest we do about it?"
"Well we could go easy on them, but then what kind of senseis would we be."
"I couldn't agree more" said Anko now with a full blown evil smile and a very dangerous glint in her eyes.
"Well normally we would wait to test you till tomorrow but seeing that we're all here at the moment and the training ground is free. Then add the little fact that even if we don't do the test now, Anko-chan will still chase Naruto-kun trough the village, I suggest we start the real genin test. It is up to you however." said Kurenai, hoping for at least some reaction but looking at the trio in front of her, she couldn't help but smile. Not only had they not lost their cool they were already discussing whether to do it or not. Though Shino wasn't really speaking, more just nodding and shaking his head.
Naruto then moved forward, "we accept the privilege to take the test now, please be gentle." he said this last part almost with a whimper and a puppy dog look at Anko.
Anko seeing this smiled even more evilly, beyond what seemed humanly possible, "Of course Naruto-kun, we wouldn't want to hurt our cute genin… too much."
Hearing this Naruto just gulped, Shino and Hinata just started sweating.
Seeing that her genin were adequately scared now, she started with the explanation of the test.
"Every one of you knows that the primary function of this team will probably be information gathering, tracking, capturing and now with Anko probably also torture, however that was based upon your files from academy and from what I've seen so far that would just be wasting your talents."
"You're probably right, Nai-chan. so we get a blank slate, now let's test them and see if you're right or not."
"All right already, so we'll have a two part test seeing as there are two of us. Seeing as we aren't going to be solely tracking team anymore, I'll have to make up a new test on the fly then."
"Or my portion could go first, and you get the time till tomorrow to come up with a new test to test them for everything. My portion was always to remain specialised, since I don't really know too much about another field. "And seeing the incredulous look Kurenai gave her about giving her the time to think about her test.
"Yes, Nai-chan, I will be able to keep myself in check, just give me an active role in tomorrow's test too." said a still grinning Anko. "Okay?" not waiting for an answer," well then let's get going shall we."
"Ano, sensei shouldn't we introduce ourselves first?" said Hinata slightly overwhelmed by seeing her former sensei and chosen big sister alive and well again. And if she was reading the signs correctly having an affair with not just Asuma.
"Oh right, we never introduced ourselves. Why don't I begin?
My name is Kurenai Yuhi, I like genjutsu and learning new genjutsu, watching the sunset and flowers ,I hate people who think they are superior just because how they were born especially men, my dream is to prove those men wrong and be the best genjutsu mistress in Konoha, my hobbies include gardening, and training."
"Now my turn, my name is Anko Mitarashi, I like dango, finding new ways to torture people, making new ninjutsu and of course Nai-chan. I hate people who lie, who are prejudiced. My dream is to be the best ninja I can be and if he comes on my path kill a certain man. My hobbies include torturing, taking a stroll in the forest and eating dango. Blondie you're up."
Grinning Naruto started," My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen, Hinata-chan, making friends and learning and creating new ninjutsu or seals. I also hate prejudiced people who don't give anyone a chance and stuck up bastards but also the 3 minutes it takes for ramen to cook."
Hearing this last part they all got a giant sweat drop and Kyu and Hinata thought,' something's never change.'
Not noticing or caring about the sweat drops, Naruto continued,
"My dream is still to be the best Kage anyone has ever known, not for recognition but to protect my precious people. However my main goal for later is to have a family."
Hearing this Kyu and Hinata got teary-eyed, although nobody really saw Kyu, Hinata knew it had hit a string with both of them.
"My hobbies include training, spending time with my friends and Hinata-chan and creating seals."
"Wow that's quite a list there Naruto, but what did you mean about creating seals?"
"Simple I make new seal arrays in my spare time when not out with my friends or training."
"Are you telling me that you a just graduated academy student can make seals, and we never heard of this, so you want us to believe you why?" asked Anko, really intrigued by Naruto.
"Simple Anko-sensei, do you really believe I" accenting the I," would make it common knowledge that I have an intricate knowledge of seal. I don't really understand myself, they just seem to come naturally to me." replied Naruto, hoping that the accenting and vague response would be enough. Hinata seeing that Anko didn't really want to give up decided to start her introduction thus shifting Anko's attention on her.
"My name is Hinata, I like Naruto-kun, my friends, my garden and training, I hate prejudiced and mean people. My dream is to make Naruto's dream a reality," now blushing" and proving the elders wrong and maybe even unite the main with the branch family, however with me no longer being a Hyuuga this will be extremely difficult. My hobbies include gardening, flower pressing and spending time with Naruto-kun." blushing at the last bit again.
Seeing that if she didn't hurry, she was going to miss the shot of also nicknaming her last remaining student, Anko called" You next, buggy."
"Ahem, My name is Shino Aburame, I like Bugs, studying bugs and Ayame-chan" however this last part was no more than a whisper and as such only Naruto heard, making him grin." I hate people who just hate or squash bugs for no reason. My dream is to fight strong opponents ,help my teammate's dreams come true and one day become a good clan leader. My hobbies include entomology and collecting new specimens for our hive collection."
"Okay now that that's out of the way, let's go, everybody meet me at the interrogation department in 5 minutes." called Anko before she and Kurenai shuunshined away. Seeing as the interrogation building was only two blocks away, they decided to just walk there.
Arriving at the building, they couldn't help but feel the dread, after all usually what got Anko smiling like that, was not going to be good.
"Good you're here, I just talked to Ibiki and apparently a whole shipload of new hard-headed scumbags just arrived, you're test with me will be to watch every second of my session with one of might even get to play with him too if you ask nicely."
Hinata and Shino didn't really see this but Naruto instantly perked up, he had always wanted to test his skills while not on the field.
"Ne, ne, Anko-sensei, what can and can't we do to him" said a now just as evilly smiling Naruto.
"Hehe, just about everything except kill him, a few are ninja who snuck into the village, one even from Cloud."
Hearing this Hinata suddenly started to get attentive and wanted in on it, she still had a small issue with Cloud nin. No matter the fact that Akatsuki nearly completely destroyed the cloud village in the previous timeline. "Oh can I try too?" said Hinata now with a sickly nice tone.
Now at this point warning bells were going off in Shino and Kurenai's head. So she decided to intervene
"Why don't we first watch a session with Ibiki-san and maybe later when the test is over you two can come and try for yourself. Yes Anko-chan you can come back too and I want Ibiki because his ways are not as invasive as yours and more mental." At this all three's faces faulted, however when they heard the last part they quickly lit up again tough Anko's smile was not as big.
They entered the building and Anko quickly led the way to one of the rooms Ibiki was interrogating one of the scumbags in. She took the info sheet posted on the door and looked it over. " It seems that in here is some sort of serial killer rapist, we know he did a lot of them and he will be killed all we need from him is his burial site and the number of victims. The viewing room is through here, leading them through a door to the right of the real entrance.
"We use this room to teach the younger ones how to best break them, we also tape everything in here, only three rooms have an adjoining viewing room, mainly because only me, Ibiki and Yamanaka-san are capable of really teaching the others anything. Although I'm still disappointed that you won't let me do one Nai-chan." said Anko adding a pout at the end.
Just as Kurenai wanted to reply, Ibiki entered the room and everyone got quiet.
"So Yakumuro-san, it says here that you're a rapist and a killer, wow a serial one even. Would you mind telling me why you did it?"
"pffft" replied Yakumuro and spit at Ibiki.
Ibiki just wiped the spit of his face and stared at the man again, now having someone stare at you is normally not really all that effective but with a scar-face like Ibiki it does have some effect and Yakumuro quickly turned his head away. Seeing this Anko whined, this one was going to be so easy to break, it wouldn't even last ten minutes if this kept up.
Ibiki also knew this and smirked, just seeing his interrogator smirk out of the corner of his eye, Yakumuro already grew enraged. "What do you think you're smirking about, you bastard."
"Oh just the fact that you're going to tell me where you buried your bodies and how many there are in let's say the next ten minutes or so."
"Hmmmph, like I would tell you that I buried all 21 bodies together." after hearing himself confess already one thing, Yakumuro did the smart thing, at least that's what he thought, and shut his mouth. Seeing this Ibiki just started laughing," See I told you you would tell me, and it didn't even take me 10 seconds let alone minutes."
"Why you, I still won't tell you where I buried them."
Hearing this caused Ibiki to smirk again," Oops did I forget to mention that we already found one body? So there are 20 others buried near there huh? Go figure, I really hoped you wouldn't have broken so easily, I was hoping to have some fun and give the kids a good show but I don't seem to be able to."
Hearing that the interrogation was already over, Anko groaned, oh well beter make the best of it.
"Okay since this was so easy, I add another part to this test, you will all have to give me 1 reason why this went so smoothly and how, you first buggy."
"He made the interrogated mad and so he simply spilled what he wanted to keep secret."
"Very good buggy, you pass. Next up Little Missy here" although if Anko was totally honest she kinda envied Hinata with her rather large bust.
"The interrogated thought that we hadn't found even one body cause we were asking for his burial sites, so Ibiki-san lied to him and so made him give information by making him think we didn't know as much as we do."
"very good, and absolutely correct, one of the best points of interrogation is that you can lie to them and since you are the one asking questions can stop him from discovering the fact that you're lying. Oh hey Ibiki, just giving these three a test about your session. By the way you pass to Missy." "No problem Anko-chan."
"Okay you're up last Blondie."
"Simple the fact that Scarface over there just looks so damn intimidating even when he isn't doing anything."
Hearing the nickname Naruto had given the head of the Interrogation department, Anko just cracked up." correct…hahahah…. you pass…hahahaha."
Ibiki however didn't really like his new nickname. But since he was just a genin he probably didn't know who he was so he decided to wait with crushing him to a pulp, but before he could continue Kurenai interceded.
" Why don't we head back to training ground 8, where we'll discuss the test of tomorrow."
As they were leaving Anko just had to ask, "You do know that you just insulted the head of the interrogation department right?"
"Sure I do, but you have to admit Scarface does suit him." hearing this Anko just cracked up again, "You know brat, I'm really starting like you, you're not so bad for a genin." she called running away.
"Hey! I'm not a brat" before Naruto ran after her. Now Shino wasn't one to go back on his words but he found that he know had to, the day had gotten weirder. Not only was his team specialty changed but now he was seeing a genin run after a special jounin because she called him a brat. Okay change that a genin chasing after a special jounin all the while being chased by a couple of poisonous snakes. Oh well, at least the day is almost over.
Once they all arrived at training ground 8 and Naruto could move again after being bitten a few time by quite possibly deadly snakes and recovering like it was nothing, Kurenai told them that they should come meet back here tomorrow at 7 AM and best not eat breakfast unless you would like to see it again.
Whispering over the link to Hinata, Naruto thought, 'you know, I think unlike Kakashi, she really means it."
Hearing this, Hinata had to fight hard not to giggle, after all even for shinobi, starting to giggle for no good reason was not a good sign.
"You're all dismissed I'll see you tomorrow." Said Kurenai before using a Shunshin.
"See ya tomorrow brats!" said Anko before she too used the Shunshin to go away
"Bye Hinata-san, Naruto-san. I will see you tomorrow." said Shino before leaping off to his home, hoping that tomorrow wouldn't be such a weird day.
"Well, let's go Hinata-chan there's a cloud nin waiting to be tortured." after hearing this the dangerous glint in Hinata's eyes returned.
"Yeah let's go" now Hinata nearly dragged Naruto away by his arms, luckily he recovered quickly enough," Slow down Hime, the cloud nin isn't going anywhere. So let's first go eat something, after all you can't really tor, I mean interrogate people on an empty stomach."
"But Naaaruuutoooo." said Hinata in a pleading voice, and just to show she was serious she even used her puppy dog eyes.
Now Naruto could usually withstand this, but now while her initial young cuteness still shone through, Naruto couldn't help but feel his resolve slowly slipping. Kyu seeing this and actually also feeling how hungry Naruto really was, decided to intervene.
"No Hinata, first food then torture and don't even think about using those eyes on me after all I'm a demon fox, I'm rumoured to kill puppies." This shocked Hinata who looked at her with big eyes," You kill, sweet nice innocent puppies?"
"I did say rumoured didn't I Hime-chan." smirked Kyu," But let's go eat first it's been all day. And we're all hungry, eating in a mindscape only does so much even tough hunting big white fluffy bunnies is fun. If Naruto' doesn't eat at the same time it's just air."
"But I'm not." but Hinata was then betrayed by her own stomach who growled pretty loudly especially for a girl.
"Sure you're not, let's go Hime-chan"
Going through the town Naruto didn't get many stares. Instead he got curious glances unlike the hated glares he usually got; a lot of them were uncertain what to do with his new outfit and new attitude at least that was what he thought. The fact that he was accompanied by the most luscious babe of his age, who was also the Hyuuga heiress, at least as far as they still knew but that didn't even cross his mind.
Finally arriving at the ramen shop, some people now stared at him because of the noise the two of them were making with all those growling.
Teuchi seeing who it was, light up, his best customer had arrived," Heya Naruto, have a new kind of ramen, just made it up today, want to try it."
Smirking at hearing this, apparently Hinata had already gotten to Teuchi in this time line.
Ayame having heard Teuchi call Naruto she hurried to the front hoping his teammate would be with him. She came in and saw that he had a teammate with him; unfortunately it was the wrong one as far as Ayame was concerned. "Heya Naruto-otouto, Hinata-chan. No Shino with you?"
"No Ayame-nee-chan, he had to go home but we'll come back tomorrow after our test, why do you ask about him, ne Ayame nee-chan?" asked Naruto, the last part with a teasing voice.
"Just wondering" said Ayame before scampering of to the backroom. Seeing this both Naruto and Hinata looked at each other once and then started snickering.
"And what do you want Hinata?"
"I'll have one Miso-red veggie please."
"Okay coming right up."
"So old man, what did you create? And let me guess by order of Hinata?"
"Hehe, you got me. What I created is the original extra red and green veggie ramen. But what I'm gonna give you is something else entirely, I'm giving you interrogator ramen, I heard who one of your teachers was and made this one. Also did you really call Ibiki the head of the interrogation department Scarface?"
"Yep and I can't wait." said a now grinning Naruto.
"Okay then, one minute and you're orders up."
"Thank you Teuchi-san." said Hinata, turning to Naruto," So which torture scroll are you gonna use?"
"Why you want to use a specific one?"
"Yeah, I always wanted to try number 13 and I don't think a better chance will come up in the near future. And I've been waiting to use it for so looonnng."
"Fine, I wasn't thinking about using that one, I was more doubting about numbers 6 or 9."
"Ooh, depending if you get a girl or a guy. I would go with number 9 for the girl and number 6 for the guy."
"Thanks for the advice."
"Orders up."
"Thanks old man. Itadakimasu." said Naruto with Hinata chorusing the last part and started eating slowly at first; he never had this mix before. But tasting it, he immediately started gulping it down. It was really good. "Another one old man. That was delicious, tough for some weird reason I want to go torture something but first RAMEN. Then tell me what is in this."
"Well Naruto-san, it really is quite a unique bowl, one of the few ones were the main ingredient isn't added as a flavour. After all you can't add dango while it's cooking or the dango will be wrong. But then if you don't add the dango at the right moment, The flavours won't mix well, I got the idea when I heard about your sensei, Anko and how much she loved dango, this way I get a new client and if she gets you over to the dark side I still won't lose you. Hehehe." said Teuchi.
"So how did you make it then, Teuchi-san?" asked Hinata sweetly.
"Ah ah ah now, that's my secret, after all if everyone knows how to do it, then it won't be a specialty of my shop. " grinned Teuchi
"Oh fine, then don't tell me after all, don't tell the girl who gave you the idea of one of you're newest and probably biggest new hits. Now even if I would get new ideas I might not even share them with you." said Hinata sweetly.
"Y-y-you have more ideas?" sputtered Teuchi, after all he really did think that Hinata's new idea would take off. And if she had any other ideas, it might just be worth it.
So Teuchi decided he would share, but only her, so he motioned her to lean forward and then whispered the answer in her ear.
"Ah quite ingenious, thank you Teuchi-san. at the moment I don't have any new ideas but I'm working on a few. If I figure out the details, you'll know, after all wouldn't want the profits to drop."
During this entire conversation Naruto had gone through 5 more torture specials, 1 white veggie miso ramen, 2 red veggie pork ramen and 2 green veggie chicken ramen. Even Hinata had eaten 1 extra red veggie miso ramen.
"Well old man, it was delicious again. But now we have a torture session to get too"
Hearing this Hinata got excited, "Oh goodie, let's go quickly."
"Yes Hime but don't forget you can't kill them at least at the moment."
"But ho-o-o-oney, why not?"
"Quite simple hime, after all they might want to question them after were done with them, we're just genin after all."
"Fine" said a now pouting Hinata.
"Till next time old man, Ayame-nee-chan.
"Bye Teuchi-san, Ayame-chan."
"Till next time Naruto-kun and keep those ideas coming Hinata-chan."
"Bye Naruto-otouto, Hinata-chan. Be sure to bring your entire team with you the next time."
Naruto not wanting to miss a chance to tease Ayame," Oh so you want us to bring Shino next time, why Ayame why would you want that?"
"I did say your entire team, that includes Kurenai-san, Anko-san and Shino-kun."
"Shino-Kun?" asked Naruto emphasizing the kun.
"Weren't we leaving Naruto-kun?" said a now leaving Hinata
"Coming hime, see you next time." running to catch up with Hinata.
"So what do you think about Ayame and Shino, hime-chan?"
"I think it's cute and Ayame can help us bring him out of his shell."
"You're right should we set them up or just leave it be?"
"Now what kind of friends are we?"
"So set up, it is" concluded Naruto.
After walking back to the department of interrogation they entered for the second time today.
However their job description was totally different this time, now they were here to play, not just watch. They heard the screams coming from one of the smaller rooms in the back and decided that they could start their look for their victims there. And it seemed they were in luck, just as they were about to knock the door opened and Ibiki came out. Looking next to him, and seeing that here was the Cloud ninja, they really were lucky.
"AH Scarface how's it going?" asked Naruto, pretending to not notice the tick mark that came on Ibiki's face. Hinata however didn't want to pretend not to notice and interfered before Naruto would not be the interrogator but the interrogated, "Hello Ibiki-san, we were wondering if we could have a go at a few, Anko-sensei told us we could?"
"I did say that didn't I," said Anko," so let them have a go at it, we're supposed to have a coffee break and it's not like they can do much wrong." after getting a nod from Ibiki, she then turned to Naruto and Hinata, "Fine you can have a go at them. The rules are no killing and no letting the captive go. Everything else is allowed." When they heard Anko say that last bit, their smiled just turned completely evil, so much even that it even started to scare Anko and Ibiki. "Oookay, the system is pretty simple if you know how the system works; paper on the door says what we know and what we want to find out and who the captive is. Any other questions?"
"Yeah, can I get the one you're doing and can Hinata have the one Ibiki was doing?"
"Euhm, I don't know Naruto why don't you start a little slower and lower."
"Pleaseeee." asked Naruto and Hinata together both using the Puppy dog look no jutsu.
Anko started feeling the effect immediately so she looked at Ibiki, who wasn't even affected, for advice. He just shrugged, he didn't think they were going to get anything out of them, after all if he and Anko couldn't break them, how could some rookies just out of academy get anything. Deciding to help Anko-chan out of her misery, he turned back to Hinata and Naruto who were still using the puppy dog look no jutsu, if he hadn't been hardened by years and years of experience he was sure that attack would be really effective. Ibiki sighed again, "Fine, just stop using that," getting annoyed at them," just so you know they are classified as S-class so it's just because Anko is your sensei that I'm even considering this. So if you do get them to tell you anything useful, which I doubt, it will be considered an S-class secret. Another thing if you get them to talk you will get paid for an S-class mission, just so you know."
"Thank you Ibiki-san." said Hinata
"Yeah thanks Scarface-san."
Ibiki started to get annoyed again but this time the save came from Anko," Let's just go Ibiki, I'm starving", turning back to Hinata and Naruto," you got 45 minutes and then we'll take over again."
"Thank you Anko-sensei, see in 45 minutes," before both of them turned to their respective rooms and began looking over the paper.
"You know for some reason, I think we're in for a surprise when we get back." said Ibiki before turning away and starting towards the cantina.
"Yeah right, they'll get nothing. I mean even we couldn't get them to talk. I'll bet anything we'll just find them outside the rooms with nothing when we get back."
"Fine, what are we betting?" asked Ibiki
"Simple if I win, you have to train both me and my brats for 10 sessions, and if you win, well then that'll mean that they don't need the training so I'll give up sake for a week"
"No no sake is too little, if I win you have to give up on using any sexual innuendo or molesting anyone for a week and no sake for a week." said a now somewhat smiling Ibiki, after all it would just be hilarious to see how Anko dealt with not being able to use sexual innuendo or sake. And then add the fact that even if she won, training those brats really wasn't such a big deal.
"Okay fine, you got yourself a deal" thinking she just got out of having to teach them those pesky basics and not even entertaining the idea that she would lose. Oh how wrong she was.
Meanwhile at Naruto's torture chamber:
After looking over the paper, Naruto smirked, apparently he would be interrogating an Iwa nin, oh how ironic. Here he was the fourth's son, going to interrogate an Iwa nin who would give just about anything to get his hands on him. Unfortunately it seemed that the only thing they really knew, was that it was a he and from Iwa.
"So you're from Iwa are you?"
The captive just blinked.
"Wow, aren't you the talkative one. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'll be your interrogator for the next 45 minutes or so. Now it says here that you're a man, which is correct right? I know I know, it should be quite obvious but come-on could you look any more feminine?"
Now the captive just grunted. "Oh come on at least tell me this. I want to know which of my scrolls to use? I mean, I have cut them down to just two, but I can't decide which one to use, so my beautiful girlfriend, gave me this unbelievably super idea. You see if you're a guy then I'll use scroll 9 but if you're a girl then I'll use scroll 6. Still not talking?" Naruto was met with just silence. "Fine then I'll just have to do this the old fashion way." at this Naruto walked closer and closer. Till he was within hands reach. And then he slowly, very slowly, inch by inch reached out to grab the hem of the shirt. And when he finally got it, the captive finally spoke. "All right already, I'm a guy okay; now let's get the torture over with."
"Now how do I know you're telling the truth, after all I want to be certain. So what do I do? Well they always say, your first thought is the usually the best one. So… arms up or do I have to cut this very nice shirt?"
The captive although reluctantly raised his arms, Naruto then pulled the shirt of. "Ahhh no boobs, that's score one for the man idea, but still I know someone like you and well let's just say that except the lower part, you really can't tell if she's a girl or a man except maybe the long hair and well you have long hair, so let's be certain shall we." Thinking back to Sakura and the shivering, Naruto then proceeded to inch his hand closer and closer to the waistband, o so slowly, finally having it, he tugged it down and what he saw was quite disturbing, after all it's not every day that you see what he was seeing, "You were a man and now you're nothing? Okay let's get this show on the road, first I'll use scroll six then scroll nine so that you get all the goodies, after all for such an " Naruto looked down again," ex-boy, it's the least I could do." and so a now smiling Naruto unsealed his first item of the day, a rubber ducky, and the captive just look baffled at what Naruto had produced.
However Naruto wasn't the most unpredictable ninja for no reason, but no he had come up with this one all by accident, as he woke up in his bathtub after a night where he just went a little too far. As such he didn't know how or why but apparently he had decided that sleeping in the tub was a good idea. Of course being as drunk as he was he had barely gotten in and not before he cleaned out all his utensils. So when he woke up and discovered that the ducky had somehow gotten into a very uncomfortable position for him. So when he was making his scrolls and he made a quick bathroom break, he just had to think about that one time. And so his dastardly mind came up with this. An inflatable rubber ducky with itching powder all over it.
So Naruto just placed the ducky right behind the captive and made it grow. Now you see with the way it was positioned, the ducky soon became to touch all of the captive legs, and the snout well the snout found that one hole, no duck ever hopes to find. But the snout didn't stop at the entrance, no this duck was actually a verry perverted duck and as such, his snout just kept growing and growing, all down that one hole nothing should ever enter.
After having the duck grow so big that it was actually lifting the captive of the floor, Naruto stopped its growth, waited a few minutes and then deflated it.
"No no no, that won't do at all, after all we still have 9 more items to go and if you then still haven't talked. Unless you already want to talk?" smiled Naruto, "No? Good don't want to have my fun spoiled too soon. On to item number 2" Naruto then unsealed number 2 of scroll 9. Now normally one would think that the captive would have expected another strange thing to use but unfortunately it seemed he was going to be surprised yet again. Now anyone except maybe Hinata would too but then again Naruto had gotten this idea from her. What he had produced was a big orange fluffy bunny…
…
with boxing gloves. Now normally, one would laugh seeing a cute fluffy orange bunny with boxing gloves on but seeing what Naruto had come up with on the rubber ducky part, the captive didn't really want to imagine what this one would do.
"Bonzo meet… You know I don't even know your name, what is your name?" asked Naruto jovially.
The captive still not completely over being molested by a rubber ducky, and then now seeing a big cute fluffy orange bunny just answered before thinking about it." Kogatse, Kogatse Aix."
"Okay than, Kogatse meet Bonzo, Bonzo meet Kogatse. Now then Bonzo, you see Kogatse here doesn't want to talk yet, so you know the drill right." Seeing the big bunny nod his head, Naruto turned towards his captive again." okay now let's start again, Kogatse, what were you doing when you were caught here in Konoha. And please be honest, you don't want Bonzo here to hit you too hard do you?"
But the captive just kept quiet. "Fine be like that again, and just when I thought you were going to start cooperating, Bonzo, activate Torture mode." Hearing this, the captive could see a gleam spread through the big orange fluffy bunny and he could feel fear start to creep up to his heart. The big fluffy ears started to get pointier and pointier and he could swear they even looked sharp, the fur around the edges of his boxing gloves became spiky and if you watched closely enough you could see little white hairs sticking straight through the gloves but only with the tips, like the gloves were covered all in small needle points. And the Big round fluffy tail started to look more and more like a morning star.
Seeing this the captive started to whimper, he started imagining all kinds of stuff being done to him by the still cute but big spikey bunny in front of him.
"Now will you talk, or do I have to have this cute big spikey bunny, hurt you? Do you really want that? I mean just think about it even if you would get out, the rumours: you heard about that guy, he got creamed by a bunny. Let's face it even if you die here it will haunt you for eternity." but still the captive held strong and shook his head. "Fine be that way, Bonzo, hit him or do you prefer her now? Just remember only once."
And so Bonzo very slowly lifted his head and sent a straight punch towards the captives gut, now if the captive would have payed attention he would see that there were chakra strings connecting Bonzo to Naruto. Naruto had learned the basics from Kankurou and could make dolls move but he his control was still too bad so the moves didn't have any force behind them and even then he could only use it to send straight punches. Thus making Bonzo useless in battle, except the mental kind of course, where he controlled everything. And then finally the punch arrived, not really hurting the captive with force but burning him a little cause each of the hairs were red-hot. And seeing as there were a lot of them, he got lots and lots of tiny 3d degree burns, so he now had a fished shaped connect-the-dots shape on him.
"So are you gonna talk now?"
The convict though still scared to death, still held strong although he knew that if he was ever going to survive the other girl had to come back, there was only so much craziness a person could handle.
"Fine be that way. Time for item number 3." said a now even bigger smiling Naruto, " you should know this is one of my favourites, not really all that original but hey it's still fun."
So Naruto unsealed item number 3, and what came was nothing.
"Huh? Crap forgot to put the corresponding seal on Tora. Oops. Oh well, on to number 2 then or do you want to talk now?"
Now after only having two torture items used on him and hearing about what the third would have been, the captive had begun to have his doubts. Even he had heard about the demon cat that was rumoured to be the pet of Satan himself. Yet here was a guy who not only wasn't really afraid of it but ready to control it for interrogation uses. But he was strong, he was a nin from Iwa and he wasn't going to break, yet anyway. He actually really hoped the other chick would return even if she was more sadistic, he could handle her theatrics. But this guy was of a class his own, he still felt the soreness in and on his legs, by a rubber ducky no less. And the burning sensation of the punch of that bunny still hadn't left, another one of those ridiculous items, that not only hurt him physically but also mentally, and especially his pride felt wounded. But he decided to wait and see after all, after threatening to use Tora what could be worse, right? And so the doubt began to set in and this wasn't something Naruto missed. So he began the story behind his fourth item, hoping that he wouldn't have to use the fifth cause even that caused him shivers.
This story didn't star Naruto himself but the Kiba, the very annoying "alpha" mutt of his class, and his treatment towards all women and so also from all women. It was one time in the future when he had seen that Kiba was being chased by his elder sister and in-training alpha of the Inuzuka clan. Naruto always one to like seeing Kiba being woman handled, followed suit, of course Naruto never mentioned when he saw this or the status of the participants, only that he saw it,
"So I don't know if you heard but Hana Inuzaka really isn't one of the girls you want to piss of. But Kiba, being his own dumb mutt self, decided to try it again, the second time that month and don't even get me started on the other months." shuddered Naruto," But this time Kiba was really being stupid after all you DO NOT piss of a girl who has PMS especially one of the kunoichi who has three triplet nin dogs, all girls, all with matching cycles." at this Naruto shuddered again.
"Now I don't really remember the reason anymore but let me tell you whatever it was, it really had to be bad. Cause afterwards it took an entire week before he could walk somewhat right again. It even took him an entire month before he made another lewd comment and for Kiba that's actually quite a big effort. So now let me introduce to you item number 4. Don't worry I'll tell the rest of the story but you see I feel that feeling something and hearing about something just isn't the same so we'll just do both at the same time, that way no one can complain." said Naruto, getting a very big smile at the last part." You know this is the first time in a long time since I used these, I think a year or two at the very least."
Now the convict really started sweating, first he had once pissed of his girl when she had PMS and as such knew that pain but to do it to 4 females at the same time, even if 3 were dogs, he just couldn't imagine it, and shuddered, whatever he had cooked up, this was going to top the other three ideas. And then secondly, this kid in front of him, maybe 12 or 13 years old, just told him that the last time he used it had been a year, maybe even 2 ago, meaning that he had been torturing people while still in the academy, and seeing the inventiveness and thoroughly thought out ideas, probably even a few years before that.
So while he was learning to spell and write, this kid also learned the best ways to torture people. Now the Iwa captive was strong, but he knew that he would never last, not if there was another item to come after this, not even to mention that other scroll he talked about. So when he saw what Naruto had unsealed he decided that enough was enough.
He didn't want to go through the horror those burning hot looking claws, wood picks and apparently two whole sets of dogteeth, of what looked like a really really big dogs, would do to him. Not coming up with anything he would be able to resist for long, he cracked, it didn't matter to him anymore that after this he probably would be sentenced to death.
It would probably be bliss; it would stop him from hearing the stories about how he was broken by a 12 year old kid, or how he was molested by a rubber ducky, or how he was punched by a big, spiky but still cute fluffy orange bunny.
"Stop, I'll talk, enough, I don't even want to know what you were going to do with them but I don't want to know. I'll talk; I'll tell you whatever you want."
Inwardly Naruto smiled, he hadn't even used his second item, and Kyu, in fox form, didn't even have to come out to play with the captive either. He knew that she was going to nag him about that later but that were problems for later.
"Okay, fine then tell me what was your purpose here, how far did you get and why is Iwa so interested in what goes on in Konoha, all of a sudden?"
" My mission was recon, I was to infiltrate Konoha and seek out if the rumours about there being a new heir to the Namikaze name, apparently someone heard noises coming from inside the Namikaze compound but no one ever saw anyone enter. So it was my mission to see whether or not there was any truth to the accusations and that it wasn't just a scared villager who believes in ghosts that heard those noises."
Damn, I knew I forget something, remind me to install and activate the silence seals around my property again. Not knowing what Naruto was thinking the captive just continued.
"Unfortunately for me, I didn't know much about the security around the compound and even with me being careful, I accidently triggered an explosion seal, before I was even there an hour last night. SO I couldn't really see or hear anything. And well you know how much Iwa hates the 'Yellow Flash'" spitting out the last name," so if there was an descendant than killing him would have been revenge on him.
Of course we wouldn't have just killed him; my mission was to report back in a week to a small three man abduction team about three miles from here in a cave. If I found that the rumour was correct and had located the descendant, then I together with the 3 man team were to abduct him. How I didn't notice the explosion seal tough I just don't know."
Apparently no one ever thought about first setting the seals and then painting over them and so as long as no one thinks too much about it and even then with how deep ninja think about such things, they'll never figure it out, probably will start looking for a genjutsu and such before even thinking about it being hidden by just a layer of paint. Oh well their loss.
"SO in a nut shell, you, a jounin, came to Konoha to see if a rumour about there being an descendant of the Namikaze line, was true and if you didn't find anything or were caught you were to commit suicide so that no one ever knew about Iwa's involvement. So why didn't you kill yourself?"
"When I woke up again I was already here and had been stripped of anything useful to kill myself with. But that's all I was told, I don't know what the rest of the team will do but probably nothing seeing as it was only a silly rumour."
"Thank you, in about, well what do you know, we still have 15 minutes left, so let's say in 20 minutes the lady of before, is going to be back and then you're going to be a good boy and tell her everything she wants to know, if not then I'll return and will not stop before I've used number 2 and number 1. Believe me, number 1 is even worse than number 2." said Naruto, shuddering for extra effect, after all if the captive thought that it even scared him,… well let's just say it would be good enforcement.
"I hope to never have to see you again for your sake. Bye"
And so Naruto left a now broken Iwa nin behind naked, with clearly irritated legs in an o posture to relax his hole as much as possible and a fist shaped second degree burn of connect the dots on his stomach.
As Naruto entered the hallway again, he saw that Hinata was also already finished and was starting to look bored. It seemed that hers was easy to break.
"Hey hime, how did yours go?"
"Fine, Naruto-kun, it was just over so quickly, I mean I hadn't even started to use the second stage pressure point and only halve of his tenketsu were half destroyed and I only got to use one item of the scroll" said a now pouting Hinata," What about you, which scroll did you get to use and how many did you get to use?"
"Don't worry hime, I didn't get much more either. Used scroll number 9 but only had to use 2 items, tried using number 3 and threatened to use number 2. I really hope that we get the Tora mission quickly after all without it my scroll just isn't complete. However I did tell him the origin of number 2 and that seemed to scare him more than the other two items. So when I was about to begin with number 2 he already cracked. So you're not the only one who wasn't completely satisfied."
" Fine, but next time I want a tougher captive, if they give up before I get to the good part again, I'll hurt Ibiki, he had already done more than half the work, now he didn't even last half an hour."
"You're right it just isn't the same as it used to, it was just too easy to break them. But this does mean we got 15 minutes to kill. But first what was the Cloud nin doing here?"
"Heard rumours about there being a descendant of the Namikaze line, because some heard noises coming from the compound. You forgot to put up the silence seals didn't you?"
"Sorry and don't worry I'll put them up before we go to bed. But now I know something better to do then talk, after all we do still have 10 minutes to kill."
And so Naruto and Hinata decided to make out, but they did stop after 5 minutes, after all it wouldn't be fair to Kyu if they did this without her. So they just sat together and talked a bit about inconsequential things, but forgetting that they still had teary eyed faces of the disappointment they had. It was like this with Hinata on Naruto's lap and him hugging her that Ibiki and Anko found them.
"It seems you'll have to teach them." said Anko, smiling greatly.
"Now now don't be hasty Anko let's just see why they're already out here, who knows maybe they finished early." replied Ibiki, not really believing it but he didn't want to have to do what he promised, he so hated teaching rookies.
"Yeah right." smirked Anko.
"So Naruto, Hinata, do tell Anko and me why you're out here instead of inside?"
"Oh hey Scarface," a tick mark again beginning to form on Ibikis forehead, the kid didn't seem to notice again," we're already done. It took me about 30 minutes but he really did sing, I got the main questions answered but it doesn't say here what I really had to ask so just broke him/her, don't really know what to name whatever she/he is. So I just asked him some general questions and then left the rest up to you guys. Do tell me if he doesn't want to answer and remind him that if he doesn't play nice I'll have to come back. Normally that will be enough to make him talk." said a now evilly smiling Naruto, which creeped out both Anko and Ibiki to what they believed the extreme, however seeing the sour expression on Hinata's face they quickly rethought that statement.
"
"Mine already broke after only 20 minutes, I was just starting to get into it too. Next time I want a fresh one, Ibiki already started to break him, so it wasn't any fun. I did the same as Naruto-kun, so you'll have to question him further for more details."
Ha HA HAAh," laughed Ibiki," It seems you're the one to pay up Anko-chan. Now as we said before, however we didn't really think you could actually break them, we had 2 hours with them and we still had nothing not even their name. So now you two come here and do what we couldn't in 2 hours in 45 minutes. "
"30 minutes Scarface."
"okay 30 minutes but I digress as said, this would be considered a S-class mission if you could get them to break, so take this voucher to the Hokage and he will normally give you the real pay check after you debrief him. Tell him the general way and tell him we'll fill in the details later. "
"Okay, Thanks Scarface, but next time gets us some harder ones okay? Bye, and see ya tomorrow Anko-sensei."
"Bye Ibiki-san, Anko-sensei."
"You know, I think I really need a drink, not only were we bested by a couple of kids, we were bested by a couple of kids just out of the academy in only a fourth of our time."
And then suddenly Ibiki started snickering, Anko thinking he was snickering about her part of the bet wanted to stop it immediately, but that wasn't what made Ibiki laugh, no Ibiki was starting to imagine the face of the Hokage when he had to give a S-class pay check to two genin who hadn't even completed their genin test yet." Sorry Anko, just thinking about the face the Hokage's gonna make."
Hearing the reason and thinking about it herself, Anko started to chuckle as well.
After Ibiki recovered, "well let's go and question them for the details and then I think I'll take you up on that drink, but don't forget no sake for you." And then he quickly left through his door.
"Damn meddlesome kids, damn stupid bet." grumbled Anko as she entered her door to see her prisoner and notice that he didn't have any other marks on him except one burn wound on his stomach. Damn that kid must be terrifying, if he only had to hurt him once.
