The Punisher [Codester / Shodaime Tsuchikage]

[Natsuhi]

TSUCHIKAGE OFFICE

Natsuhi's loyalty to Iwagakure unbounded to say the least, what reason would she have that would make her feel and think otherwise. Not only the Tsuchikage but the citizens of Iwagakure treated her as their own during her seventeen years of living, so it was only natural that she, in turn, respected and protected this land. Nuke Shinobi were criminals, nothing more, nothing less, and from Her perspective they did not deserve to be treated with respect or compassion. Village leaders and shinobi instructors practically raised majority of their forces, even if it was in the name of combat or war, they held enough respect and care put up with their duties.

Nevertheless, Natsuhi stepped through into the Tsuchikage's office, curious, golden eyes fluttered around the room like light-speed clouds through the sky. Frantically she had rushed in, causing the attendant at the font desk to look upon the purple haired maiden as if she was crazy. At first glance it was hard to tell, at least with a bandaged man upon her shoulders that continued to slip in and out of the world of dreams. She shrugged her shoulder several times in attempt to properly perch his body over her shoulder, he kept slipping every few moments making fast travel rather difficult.

"I need to speak to the Tsuchikage right away, I've capture a missing ninja hailing from Konohagakure"

The assistants sagged skin melted towards the ground as if it'd been tugged down into the underworld the moment she made a movement that seemed like a signal for someone. Now brimming with curiosity, a man seemingly entered from cross dimensions. The only thing that gave hint to his method of appearance was a burst of settling dust that calmed beneath his feet. Shunshin. With a ANBU Taurus mask, the man spoke out to Natsuhi with a dry, hollow voice.

"We will handle him from here. You simple stay close and follow, the Tsuchikage will make an appearance shortly."

Handing the criminal over like traded goods, she swatted away at her shirt and pants, knocking away what corpuscles of dust managed to accumulate. After briefly pampering herself she followed suit as the ANBU made is way to god knows where. From Natsu's eyes, this area was unfamiliar to her. Something never before seen.

The ANBU led the prisoner and the young Genin girl down to the lower levels of the Kage building, making numerous twists and turns down corridors which seemed endless and came out of nowhere the ANBU would stop at plain metal door with the words 'room 6' written over it in black ink. These were the interrogation rooms, set aside so they would be out of sight and mind to the populace, such work was dirty but then again necessary. Opening the door and moving into the room the three would be encountered by a pair of ANBU in black cloaks. These were specialist interrogators, seasoned in their roles, also strangely enticed by the prospect of torturing someone. Faceless behind their masks they would study their new guest before escorting him to the center of the room where stood a single wooden chair, faint stains of blood remained upon it. The room was dark, a single overhead light gave all of the illumination, there were no windows, the walls were plain save for a few scratch marks and other faded patches of blood. This was a place of misery, a place where the bravest were bought to their knees, the most loyal turned against their own villages. This was the dark heart of the shinobi world, the part most refused to acknowledge. The ANBU that had brought the Genin would lean against the wall by the door, the two in cloaks standing either side their guest. The metal door would be flung open and in would stride the Shodaime Tsuchikage, dubbed The Young Reaper by some. His gaze would wash over the room taking in everything at once. This prisoner would serve greatly as an olive branch to Konoha, it had been most fortunate timing. A girl Genin stood in the room, the captor most likely, for once Kira was interested. He would hear her tale before dismissing her. By know all of the ANBU were down on one knee, such loyalty. Walking further into the room until he was a few feet away from the captured Konoha Nukenin kira would speak. "How did this come to pass?" His voice was calm and collected, his expression was as usual empty, but behind his crimson eyes his brain ticked away already thinking of the battle which had ensued. He would remain gazing at the bloody and beaten prisoner, not near death yet, the ANBU interrogators knew from experience how far the body could be pushed. They would say when treatment was needed.

[Natsuhi]

Was it just her or did the walls scream. Her innate, cursed ability came to life once more the moment she notice the lingering silence. Her ears could hear the screams of men and women, and now, the poor souls that managed to find themselves within this area if Iwagakure. Was she scared? Out of her very mind, yet, she dared now show it as she wished to one day fight along Iwagakure's ANBU and Oinin. But deep down, deep down within her, manifested a fear for this place, she couldn't fathom what it was drove her to feel such a way, to have her stomach coil in mental pain.

Perhaps it was the deathly silence coupled with the echoing footfalls of ANBUJ as if they were a parade of death, or maybe it was the frigid airs that held the pungent, scented mixture of battered flesh, dried blood, and endless tears. The cold airs proved superior over her clothing, even her appendage warmers as she began rubbing her arm with great friction to provide herself with heat, is this what prisoners felt like walking down these dark corridors. She never felt so vulnerable, despite behind a child of Iwagakure.

"Why am I feel like this, so dark and painful. Its like the walls throb with the pain of those unfortunate enough end up here. And here I thought I knew it all.

Yes, more then anything this was a reality check for Natsu, despite being utterly loyal, keeping up with daily bulletins, newspapers, events and all things Iwagakure related, she knew very little about 'Iwagakure.' They came to a door which led to a room where the unnamed konoha shinobi was sat down. Standing off to the side wall for several minutes, the center of it all stepped forth. Shodaime Tsuchikage...Kaguya Kira. The ANBU forces fell to a knee without a second thought, Natsuhi followed suit.

"How did this come to pass?"

Nervous, Natsuhi replied.

"Oh..uhm...I'd finished some missions slightly earlier Tsuchikage-sama, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to venture out into Tsuchi no kuni for a chance to further myself. I caught this man near one of our rivers. He did nothing out of the ordinary, but his headband told me of warners and so I took action."

Swallowing hard her speech ended.

Nodding once to himself Kira crouched down slightly so that he could study this boy closer, the cloaked ANBU secured him closely to the chair. He was cut up alright, looked a mess but still very much alive. Drop by drop Kira watched as his blood soaked bandages dirtied the floor, his lifeblood slowly dripping away. If he was an example of Konoha nin then they were much poorer than Iwa's had gotten. Standing back up straight Kira moved toward the girl, his eyes would seemingly bore deep into her own, crimson orbs filled deep with brooding anger. A small smile would trace his lips, it showed in his mouth only his eyes remained dark and bitter. He would speak in a courteous and light voice, melodic in its dark haunting tone, the voice of a Reaper indeed. He would circle her as he spoke, each step silent and graceful. "You have done well. You have made Iwa and it's Kage proud. However you will not speak of this to anybody. Not yet anyway. You will be rewarded of course, something fitting...........in due time. Go now, what happens here is better left to those with hearts of stone" With that the ANBU that had escorted her would open the door and gesture outward, he would lead the girl back through the maze of corridors and out into the open sun, where the dark deeds of men done in the shadows were hidden by the bright light of the sun. Kira would turn his attention back to the Nukenin, his voice now as cold as deaths bitter embrace. "Now, what is your story? and tell me all you know of konoha" CREDITS • made by lovesolfege from OTE

Connak looked at the ANBu, master tortures he thought. Connak decided to tell the truth since lying wont get him any were. He smilied at them and told all that he knew.

" It has been tens years since i left so things could of changed, but i know that the leaf village is some where in the middle of the fire country. The city is guarded by a watch tower.Its no use trying to attack them, the city is surrounded by a mountain except one path, the gaurds can see you before you even see the village. They have been having exams." Connak had said with his deep voice."

He smiled and rested his pounding head on his shoulder.

"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you i didn't mean to come here. I was heading to the sand village. Also my name is Connak."

[Natsuhi]

A suffocating air fell upon Natsuhi's shoulders as the Tsuchikage encircled her with a dark, empty presence. Slowly he strolled around her, almost as if he'd been examining her, but she couldn't tell and nor did she really care. He cracked a sudden smile, and in turn, Natsu repaid the favor, listening to his words as they outstretched with a faint echo.

"You have done well. You have made Iwa and it's Kage proud. However you will not speak of this to anybody. Not yet anyway. You will be rewarded of course, something fitting...........in due time. Go now, what happens here is better left to those with hearts of stone"

A simple nod would verify that the girl listened and took his word for what it was, daring not to question him as a person, and as her Kage. She followed suit as the ANBU that brought her here moved towards the cold, metal door, ready to escort her back to the Tsuchikage's office area. A glanced back over her shoulder with a saddened face, despite having to do her job, compassion for mankind still dwelt within her, she felt bad for what the man would soon experience.

But it had to be done...didn't it?

Kira donned a dark and thoughtful expression, he was no tyrant, merely a dutiful Kage, he did what was needed, what was necessary for all of Iwa. A dark heart he may have had but he still had a heart, even if he hid it well. Looking at the two ANBU who both stared back at their Kage before looking to each other and then back to Kira and giving a swift simultaneous nod of the head Kira lowered his gaze to the pitiful form upon the chair, not a shinobi, a failure. He spoke in a harsh even tone, his judgement had been made, the Nukenin's punishment would be just, there was no room for softness in the shinobi world. "You will remain our prisoner, you will work long hard hours in a quarry for your crimes, you will receive treatment for your injuries and when i meet with the Hokage you will be handed over to await his judgement." The two ANBU he knew would be crestfallen, unable to delight themselves in the musical screams of their guest, no doubt a more fitting subject would be found for that. Kira turned sharply, striding toward the metal door he opened it, the two cloaked ANBU would take the man to a cell, a Medic nin would be on route to heal him up. Kira no longer needed to longer in the dark deep corridors of Iwa, he could once again return to his office, he was Kage after all and there was always so much to be done. His plans for his own secret elite unit were coming along nicely and as he strode down the shadowy corridors he mused on the Genin girl who had showed such promise, perhaps a new worthy candidate for Soji. Yes things were coming along well, two alliances in the making, and Iwa itself was beginning to emerge from it's dormant state. Thanks in modest part of course to one Kaguya Kira. At this thought he chuckled to himself, and allowed the laughter to flow freely down the corridors so used to hearing only the stark sounds of misery. [Exit] CREDITS • made by lovesolfege from OTE

Connak just looked at the kage, he knew the information that he had given to him wasn't that good.Connak heard the sharp words coming from the kage.

"You will remain our prisoner, you will work long hard hours in a quarry for your crimes, you will receive treatment for your injuries and when i meet with the Hokage you will be handed over to await his judgement."

Connak saw the man leave the room, connak was lifted up by the two ANBU and throw into a rank smelling desolate place were a medic nin was waiting for him.
