“Several days now…. After all, we were not sure when the trigger would be pulled. But you anger played its part… as expected….”

The Uchiha must have gone through many hardships. Hatred and anger must have been the dark beasts which this warrior rode with as he was capable of bringing himself into a meditative state where he was capable of keeping a calm mind: even given his current predicament and recent development. A regular man would be in a fetal position or begging for mercy. But Akihiro was no regular man. The hatred emanated strongly from him, but he held it tamed like a monster on a leash… for now….

In his current state, however, Ahikiro would notice something as the grinding voice stopped talking. In his mind he would see the image of a large crooked smile with brown teeth spreading wide with large blobs of drool dripping down. Before a singular eye opened above the rotten teeth. But as this eye opened there was no iris. There was merely a singular Tomoe adrift. This was no Sharingan. But it was the same Tomoe which Akihiro had seen on the mask of the ANBU female, the one who he had mercilessly crushed to the ground.

The smile and the eye both vanished as soon as that, by now familiar voice spoke out once more. “So… Uchiha boyo…. For how long will you let them keep you trapped like a black dog? Those corrupted fools who are blind to the truth…. You are like us. You serve the Leaf. Not the elite and their filthy fancy antics. Break me out of here, Uchiha boyo…. If it truly is the Leaf which you serve. We have been waiting for one such as you. You seek redemption, is it not?”

Everything went quiet in the hallway of cells. The coughing stopped, the crying stopped, and it seemed like nobody was there except for Akihiro and the mysterious stranger.

A cold wind suddenly spread out spread through every nook and cranny of the cells. Loud and heavy footsteps were heard approaching. They belonged to a brute of a man who dwarfed even Akihiro, in terms of size.

The sound of clanging keys was heard.

“Now is the time to act…. But think twice about abandoning me. For you will have no home to return to, and enemies wherever you roam, while your family and the children of Konoha die without you. Walk away from me… Uchiha boyo…. And the Leaf will burn....” The mysterious stranger had whispered before he fell fully silent. But why was there such fear with the man, and all the other prisoners?

It became evident as the light of a torch fell into the hallway. The door swung open and hit the wall with a loud CLANG before heavy boots began to walk through the dirty path between the cells. He was the keeper of the prison. A scarred man towering at 8ft tall, with biceps as big as a pig and a face as ugly as the mud they ate. He was known for his cruelty and barbaric nature and went by the name of Uziku.

“You disgusting animals.” Uziku walked at a slow pace, one hand holding a torch and the other a leg of roasted turkey which he was eating much to the dismay of the starving prisoners.

One of them was foolish enough to catch Uziku’s gaze as the man walked by. Uziku walked up to the cell and told the prisoner to walk up to the bars for expection. The prisoner was hesitant but did not dare ignore Uziku’s commands. As such the prisoner scampered up to the bars while apologizing as snot and tears streamed down his face. Seconds later his screams were heard as he fell to the ground with half of his face and hair burned off.

The smell of burned flesh and hair permeated the hallway. Uziku spar on the prisoner and continued walking to the end of the hallway as if nothing had happened. Eventually reaching the cell of the mysterious stranger. He stopped there, and looked into the cell with disgust, but said nothing and walked on. Eventually reaching Akihiro’s cell.
