From Present to Future

Chapter 42

Inside the prison ward of Konoha's T&I department, stood various masked shinobis, guarding what looked like three prisoners. The three people were covered in head to toe with a white sac and were also probably gagged for muffled, choking sounds were occasionally heard in the otherwise silent room. An empty chair was placed in front of them but no one made a move to sit on it. It was like the rest ANBU's were waiting for someone. Someone very important for they all stood straight and on guard. And this was not because of the prisoners for none of the ANBU was paying any attention to them. It's like they know the three gagged people are not leaving this place alive today.

No one spoke for the time being, not even a single movement was made by them which is the usual T&I tactic. Making the prisoner think they are alone and without guard. But for some reason, this setup looks more ominous. More scary.

A chakra was sensed, approaching the room and if possible, the ANBUs stood straighter than before and a look of excitement passed through their previous cold eyes. Just then the door to the ward opened and in came....

Itachi Uchiha

Shikamaru Nara

Tsunade Senju

And lastly, Rokudaime Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.

"Hokage-sama" A chorus was heard around the room and the three white figures tensed even more. Even when covered with sacs, one can detect heavy fear reflecting from them. A single sob escaped from one of those figure and the ANBU standing behind that person rolled his eyes.

For real. Didn't bat an eye when killed hundreds but is now sobbing. Crazy bitch, thought Kiba. If he can, he would kill her without giving her a chance of talking. Naruto is being too lenient. They have all the evidence they need. But he didn't dare voice his thoughts out loud. Not here atleast.

Tsunade, Itachi, both went to stand to the right of Naruto while Shikamaru took his left. Sitting on the chair prepared for him, Naruto waved his hand at Kiba.

Kiba, very happily and uncouthly, removed the sobbing bitch, uh, woman's sac. The said woman fell down from the force.

She is Koharu Utatane, one of the elders of Konoha and former student of Tobirama Senju. Once a great ninja but now is nothing but a scheming slut. A hint of disgust passed everyone's eyes. They just couldn't wait to tear this bitch apart but a pair of cold eyes stopped their thoughts. The pair of piercing blue eyes belong to none other than their own Hokage and unknowingly, their body straightened itself, a sign of respect in their world.

Naruto knew what every single one of his ANBU/ friends were thinking but no. He won't let her pass just like that. She wrecked too many people's life. It's only fair he does the same to her.

"Speak" His cold voice reverberated in the silent but otherwise occupied room and he watched in morbid fascination how the woman looked fearfully at him. But it is just the starting. He will do worse to her.

"Naruto" A slap fell on her face and blood spit out of her mouth. It was Neji (eagle mask). He kinda have the same thought as his Hokage. This so-called elder is not living it down this easily. He won't let her.

The fallen woman once again sat up but her body was still feeling the force of the impact. She don't know what happened or how she offended this ANBU but she know one thing. No one in this room will do anything unless ordered by the man sitting in front of her.

Her body shivered again but she willed herself to look up. For last fifty days, they had been held up in this dark, dingy cell, gagged and covered with a sac. No food, no water, no human needs were allowed to them. They pissed and shit in these clothes and not to mention the continuous torture they were given. Ofcourse no one knew but all three of them were put under a genjutsu. A torturing one where they were made to suffer, relive everything they made others live. The time span in that genjutsu was different than the real one. They know this because the nights were spared to them so that they know how many days have passed. A day here was a year there. And all of this was done by the man sitting in front of her.
