One year later

Sarutobi slowly made his way down the dark corridor, a man in a long white coat just a few paces behind.

He wasn't in a rush; he didn't want to be here at all.

Not looking back at the man he asked.

"Has there been any progress?"

The man didn't even slow down as he looked down at the clipboard in his hand.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, there has been no change since the last time you were here."

Sarutobi just gave a nod and kept walking.

The school was a depressing place.

It was built underground and was designed for the express purpose of housing and rehabilitating shinobi that couldn't cope with the stress or responsibilities of the job.

Those that had let their guilt overwhelm them, or that had had given into their bloodlust.

If a ninja had a mental breakdown, of any kind, they were sent here.

On both sides of the corridor were solid steel doors with heavy locks and a small window so the workers and doctors could see into them. At the bottom of each door was a small locked hinged door, these were used to push food through.

When he came to the last door in the corridor he stopped.

Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves he looked through the small window in the door.

It was more or less the same as all the other cells, white walls with a simple cot in the corner.

What made this one stand out however was that the walls, floor, and roof were covered in blue glowing seals, they were the only source of light in the cell and made it look like something out of a horror movie.

Another thing that made it stand out from the other cells was the fact that there was dried blood on the walls and floor along with the seals.

And finally, the other thing that set this cell apart from the others was that it was the only one that didn't have a shinobi.

This was the room of one Uzumaki Naruto.

After what had happened with the Haruno woman Sarutobi had done all he could to help Naruto. But when he started killing villagers he'd had no other choice but to put him here.

The seals were applied by his old student Jiraiya, who had been beside himself with rage when he heard about what had happened.

They were designed to do two things.

The first was to strengthen the walls of the cell and the second was to constantly drain as much of Naruto's chakra as possible.

It turned out that because of the amount of healing the Kyuubi had done to it Naruto's body had been practically saturated in its chakra.

This resulted in Naruto gaining chakra reserves far beyond what was thought possible.

If anyone other than Naruto was to go in that room with the seals active, they would be killed in a matter of seconds. As it was, they only seemed to make him slightly tired.
