Sasuke Retsuden (English Translation)

Chapter 2

****

The next day, the patrol gave Sasuke his first punishment in his spare time in prison, the only
reason they gave him was that during the list pass his left eye was covered by his hair which made the guards angry.

Patrol officers raised iron bars over their heads, and almost happily, struck their reeds on Sasuke's shoulder, crushing his bones, patrol officers taking turns with themselves for torture. Of course, normally there would be no way for the non-shinobi to beat Sasuke as badly as they did, Sasuke did his best to receive the punishment but it was still painful and for him it was hard not to get angry. Since he considered holding his tongue an act of insubordination and defiance, bitterness decayed him. No one associated with Sasuke was safe from the abuse of the guards, Jiji, without warning in the middle of his work, had also received some blows with the iron bars direct to his stomach, besides all this, Sasuke was beaten more than three times that same day for absurd reasons such as when he had whispered something to Jiji. The director made his instructions clear to the guards, point to Sasuke whenever they can.

Since he was never technically arrested or thrown into a more security type cell, there was no way for anyone in Konoha to break his coverage if he was mistreated, let alone try to intervene. Sasuke preferred to be mixed with the other prisoners today to work, the solitary would not be so productive after all, some of the prisoners were unknowingly deceived by other people with their gossip of what happened the other night with Agate, by what Sasuke tried not to let the littlemistakes on something as important as his fight with the beast bother him. As long as you are treated like this, you will not show any signs of pain or remorse in your eyes.

The director's impression of Sasuke should at least be that he was not a weak man, at the end of that day, eight different guards yelled at Sasuke and beat him several times, which made his progress in his work slow, even if someone wanted him distracted, he wouldn't answer. The looks in his eyes were nothing more than defiant and hostile, so they could see, no matter how many times he was beaten, he would not suffer any kind of injury, which would further infuriate the guards. At the end of the day, the guards who checked his cell before bed would scold him as if he were a student who had broken school rules, once beating him again and joking about “his hair being too long”. If all this wasn't for Naruto, I'd have broken one or all of his bones in one of these guards.

“Sasuke, it was all a disaster!”

“Why did they all start aiming only at you?”

Both Penjira and Ganno asked, they felt sorry for Sasuke. It had always been common for guards to beat prisoners for totally stupid reasons, yet it was always the shy ones who trembled with fear, those who came to prison and tried to act rebellious. Sasuke does not meet any of these criteria.

“That's none of their business. Sasuke said.”

He though they didn't like it when he said things like that, they could hear the tone distinctly frustrated in his voice. Jiji began to intrude independently:

“I heard the director, Zansur, had something to do with all this. Don't you mind? Don't you like the guy whose face looks better than his? Ah, you see? He's too proud.”

The lights suddenly went out as soon as it became noisy, it's bedtime, when the time comes, the lights go out without any warning, and no matter what, no matter the situation, they won't turn on again until the other day ,even when the boy who was three cells away at dawn died of a heart attack, the lights did not come back on once. Jiji and the others looked for their clothes in which they slept and changed, like the sound of a clock, nothing will be succeeded but the snoring of all those who sleep.

The hard work was exhausting on its own, Sasuke's body was getting used to labour-intensive schedule, once he was sure everyone was asleep, pulled the iron bars and left the cell. On your wrist, a strip of red cloth was wrapped, here that's proof that you have permission to be out of your cell for some kind of extra time or to go to the
infirmary, while using it Agate will not attack, even if you are clearly violating the rules. There was a great chance that he would stumble upon him walking down the cold and endless corridors, he could hear a slight, as he walks towards the fountain, making sure that his red cloth could be seen around his wrist, placed on the edge of the wall , on top of a small steel cabinet intended for cleaning supplies, it is almost imaginable what is happening there, but you can't afford to ignore it. When he opened the door, he revealed a thin man with curly hair, hands and feet tied with an old rope. sobbing as soon as he saw Sasuke, his body became stiff, his wrists tied in front of his chest were wet by saliva and the marks of his teeth deep in the rope because he clearly tried to untie the rope with his mouth, Sasuke hoped he wouldn't do loud noises with Agate walking, the closet would become his coffin.
