Naruto's POV

It was probably night time, four-year-old me was waiting for the Jiji from the centre of the village to come and treat me. Normally, the old man comes and meets me if I make sure to stand right where I am right now… Strange. Oh well, I can't be blamed for this so I left, on my way to the apartment that he gave me (why he told me it was mine to do with as I pleased, I will never know, the fatan living below me has asked me to pay him 5000 ryō a month as 'rent', whatever that is). Seriously, he never asked me why I don't stock anything other than cup-men.

As I leave, the people around me grin, but something told me that they weren't good. I decided to run along home like a good boy… And I just turned 4 today too…

Normally, there are some people with animal masks who follow me in secret- I remember the Fox Mask and Snake Mask to be the ones most interested in me, but today, eerily, there is no one… Wait, I just remembered that today is the day that Jiji goes outside the village for something called 'diplomatic talks'. I dunno why he forgot that today is my birthday, but the makses people must have followed him. They did seem strong…

Now the people are just starting to scare me- why would you run after me? I've been a good boy! I don't even tell Jiji that you guys charge me thrice the usual rate, since I'm supposed to be somewhat special! What now?

I run, trying to leave them behind, but they don't leave me alone! Now I want the Masked people to help me! But the people caught me…

"Hey Demon! Looks like today isn't your lucky day! What do you say, boys!? Shall we show him the consequences of his actions?" The one who caught my arm shouted to everyone.

Caution for the somewhat weak-willed… this one ain't suggested by anybody, so we gotta see me earn my M rating now. This entire portion is descriptive for reasons explained later in this chapter

The people had knives, rakes, pickaxes, hoes…. Anything that I wasn't allowed to touch or use because it was either too heavy or it was very sharp. Slowly, someone put the knife into my belly! It hurt, but then the knife was removed. It was done again and again, and people started taking turns doing it. Why did they do it, isn't this usually called stabbing? Why would they stab me? Slowly the other tools were also used, someone took my eyes out using the rake (that hurt so bad that any other pain was normal till then).

They continued, sometimes punching me, sometimes the knives and other sharp tools were used to cut me (I counted around 100 cuts like this), and all this time, my clothes were not in good shape… it was now useless. Soon, I was naked and was not happy, Jiji told me I shouldn't be naked except when taking a bath. He won't like this.

I don't know how long it had happened but I couldn't scream… then they shouted something I couldn't really hear. I was placed on my chest, and then my butt was propped up… I couldn't remember past this because I was in too much pain to even stay awake, but from what was said, I can only infer the worst…

'... to!... ruto!... Naruto!' I was jolted out of the meeting we were having, because of fucking course I had to relive that in my dreams. Mom was not exactly happy that I wasn't awake for torture plans for Danzo the aide, but then I happen to have plans for his torture.

"What d'you think, Naruto? Should we have him subject to all his manipulation's results? That might put him in a delusional state, see." Mom, you'll guess my own torture plans soon enough, but I'll head you off.

"Nah, I should tell you what my idea is first. See, there is this one person who was tortured the most indirectly by him. I'm planning on creating a genjutsu which works on another method I figured out to make him relive those memories completely without any changes- nights and nights of torture that he can;'t even escape, because he will be experioencing it with his soul, not his body."

Somehow the council was pale at the end of the explanation. I'm not sure why. So I asked.

"I'm not sure that is even possible, and even if it is, why would it even matter? Someone else's pain wouldn't even matter to someone like him unless he feels it completely… which is what you're suggesting. Before we even proceed with this idea, We should know the extent of that person's torture…"

I had no idea just how far Dad's naïve thoughts went, but the answer should silence just about everyone.

"Normally I'd consider torturing an indirect gangrapist with his victim's full emotions to be just the tip of the iceberg, but I'm starting to see why you were chosen as Hokage, Dad… Do the absolute best for everyone, and don't let your own emotions rule you… An unfortunately necessary trait for a leader, as much as I hate to admit it."

OK, too much fucking bloodlust, it's getting slightly uncomfortable sitting on Mom's lap.

"Unanimous vote, put him through that, but how will you do that?" The women have sense. The men are sensible enough to just nod along.

The meeting ended on that note, everyone wondering who that person was…

A/N: Yeah, I asked for a torture scene, and no one gave me a good enough one. So no one gets the OC spot in my story... smh...

For those wondering how I'm planning on accomplishing Danzo's torture, one clue- GAI

For those who understood where I'm going with that one word, you know just how bad its going to be for Danzo...

for those who think I'm subjecting Danzo' to Gaai's genjustu tho, maybe think broader.

ANYWAY, R&R
