"They got Haruno."

Ibiki cursed softly and closed his eyes at Anko's words, leaning back in his chair as she entered his office and closed the door firmly behind her.

"It gets worse."

Head raising Ibiki stared down his second in command.

"She wasn't on a mission. They got her leaving the hospital; she had spent the last twenty two hours working on the ANBU team that had been ambushed. ANBU patrol found her in a lane way two hundred yards from the hospital. Inuzuka confirmed 5 assailants and a civilian confirmed seeing ANBU dressed in black helping Haruno home."

ROOT. Ibiki growled and reaching out pulled a scroll from his desk and tossed it to Anko, the purple haired woman scowling slightly as she filled out the report.

The next day Ibiki walked into the hospital visibly releasing his anger so he would be able to deal with the pink haired medic calmly without letting her feel the brute of it. Reaching the young women's room he opened the door softly and was surprised to find Sakura asleep. Quietly he catalogued what he could see.

Bruising on the face – they had had to disorient her.

Bruises on the neck – they had choked her, either during the act or before to have her unconscious, or both.

Nails torn and bloody – she had scratched them badly.

Hands and arms scratched and bruised – she had fought despite extreme Chakra exhaustion.

Her injuries were visible – she had had barely, if any Chakra to fight with.

Taking her chart from the end of the bed he scanned it quickly.

Damn Danzou's dogs and Damn Danzou.

Clenching his fists around the chart he breathed deeply. With Tsunade in a coma and Shizune isolated with her - all the better to concentrate on the Hokage and prevent any attacks there was no one he truly trusted to get a second opinion from.

She had been raped repeatedly, five different samples found, all injuries caused by self-defence and restraint, not to mention that she had been kept conscious until the last moment to ensure she experienced it all, to break her spirit.

And now she was being kept in a medical induced coma by Danzou's orders to allow her to fully heal and recuperate.

Turning on his heel Ibik left the room unable to do anything until the pink hair medic was allowed to wake, with determination he made his way to the medical record room, a loud barking order making the nurses scatter like pigeons. Quickly he gathered the files and scanned them, throwing them into the copier when needed until his copied bundle was as thick as all the files.

His reputation and demeanour had aided Ibiki many times and the clear path he had out of the hospital and back to his office was Kami sent. A shout had Anko in his office and throwing the files at her he summarised.

"All ten of the Kunoichi attacked and raped in the last six months had their work load increased causing them to be in a near constant state of Chakra exhaustion."

"You knew that?" Anko raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

Ibiki nodded. "All ten were on short term contraception, using Chakra and the Jutsu's to prevent pregnancy, each of them including Haruno were ordered to have a routine medical exam where they were given a contraception shot – orders from Danzou, Kunoichi were wasting Chakra and the shots were more effective."

Anko's face was paling.

"I need you to check the medical storage." Ibiki rasped, teeth grinding as he continued. "Two Kunoichi's asked for abortive measures immediately, another had such damage done to her womb from missions she lost the child within two weeks but all became pregnant.

I also found a file stating Danzou has given orders that any and all Shinobi related pregnancies cannot be aborted without his approval.

"Placabo's. "The Kunoichi choked out as she scowled with anger now that the shock was wearing off.

"Get Hana into the hospital to look at Haruno's file, with her Chakra control she could prevent or abort any pregnancy making it look natural."

"What did they do?" The question fell from Anko's lips easily, the purple haired Kunoichi knowing her commander well.

"She is in an indefinite medically induced coma due to a suspected head trauma by Hokage's orders."

"Shit." Anko sat heavily on one of the office's battered chairs. Flipping through the files she muttered and cursed under her breath, head flying up as she quickly announced. "Kakashi and his team had their mission extended by six months, reporting into several bases to gather the intel, relieve the Shinobi stationed for at least a week or two of R&R and to rendezvous with ROOT members at some point. "

"Isolating and break her."

"She's stronger than that." Anko admitted with a shrug.

"But in little ways she has always been protected from the very ugly side of Shinobi life. She was even a virgin and with the Clan having pulled most of their kids into compounds most of her friends are gone."

"So now what?"

Ibiki sighed, his large frame dwarfing the chair he sat in." We wait; gather Intel, you and Hana check the hospital.

Two days later Ibiki watched Anko leave his office and restrained the urge to throw his desk against the wall. Throwing off his coat he headed to the interrogation cells needing to feel blood and cause pain.

He really hated when some of his suspicions were correct.

Dia Duit,

Snippets might keep it going but it won't be a long fic and will not be linear. I am being vague on purpose, trying to convey it all in the moment and conversations that Ibiki is having while still watching out for spies. Some chapters will have more detail than others.

Hope you enjoyed.

Lots of Love,
