Kazekage's Mansion

[| |\/| P R O \/]

The ANBU would shock Nagato again. "Where did you go while you were in the village?" He would ask expecting Nagato to continue being cooperative.

[Rothailithin]

I went to the Ninja Academy and copied down some scrolls. They're in my jacket.

[| |\/| P R O \/]

"Why thank you" The ANBU would say sarcastically as he reached and grabbed the scroll. "Any last words?" The Captain would ask ready to throw the switch of the battery.

[Rothailithin]

I've noticed your very loyal to your village. But perhaps you've never realized why. Is it because of common heritage? A common goal? Where you born into it? Most people I know simply live with the fact. All I hear when people around me in this village talk is "Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your T.V., follow fashion, act normal, obey the law, and repeat after me: I am free. In this life we are given choices. Some take all choices into account, while others are given the illusion of choice. The only type of man that is more enslaved than those who are worked and beaten for labor are those who believe that they are free. The illusion of freedom is portrayed all throughout the world. In every corner of this village you place this propaganda, and the masses consume it almost at a faster rate than it can be produced. But I know better. The very act of rebellion is natural in human nature. You will demonize it to everyone. You will make it seem like all I want is chaos- that I am an anarchist. Evil is relative. Morals are determined by success. If you win a war, it will not be challenged. If you take a random guess and are correct, everyone will praise you. One right prediction erases a thousand wrong ones. The very fact that you are undoubtedly about to execute me show that this village is unable to handle the unavoidable changes that will take place. The misery that is now upon me is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: the hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people, will return to the people and so long as men die liberty will never perish. We will fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future and old age and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do not fulfil their promise, they never will. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise.We will fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Even as I utter my last breath, more and more people will join this cause. I will not give myself to these unnatural men; machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. I am not a machine. I am not cattle. I am a man.

Nagato dropped his head and thought. He prepared himself for his execution. As the ANBU grabbed Nagato, one last smirk covered his face.

"So you were fighting for the status quo?" The captain would say flipping the switch leaving Nagato to be electrocuted to death.

[Sondiame]

Strider woke up after the brutal torture. He spit out the rest of his teeth and leaned his head back to see the light above them.

[| |\/| P R O \/]

"Any last words?" The ANBU captain would ask as he would have a kunai attached to combat wire.

[Sondiame]

"Only the dead have seen the end of the war. " He smiled as he accepted death.

[| |\/| P R O \/]

Seeing as to how Strider no longer had teeth his suicide attempt would prove futile. The Captain would then knock Strider onto his back and Stomp into Strider's face. However the first time would not be able to kill Strider a second one would be all it took.

"Nice one" The regular ANBU member would say sarcastically to the captain poking fun at his failed execution
"Well Grif I think you just earned yourself the great pleasure of cleaning up this mess" The captain would say walking out of the room with Gaara and the scroll that Strider had.
"Son of A Bitch" The ANBU would reply looking at the mess

[Shinji]

As Shinji would receive the mission to retrieve Puppet Parts for Kankuro he would begin to ponder if the mission would be as difficult as stated. He didn't think he would face much trouble as missions had been previously. He no longer had a team to accompany him and he had been a chuunin for quite some time now. He thought it would be alright to take a small break from his constant training of the demon Shukaku to accomplish a fairly easy mission. He would grab his gourd on the way out as he would head for the Great Desert in the meantime.

[Suzue Huma]

Suzue walks out of the Kazekage's office, papers in hand for the most recent set of Genin that had been assigned to her. In the months that had followed the previous Chuunin exam, there had been a lot of shuffling of the squads practically leaving her with a blank slate as far as her squad went. " Alright now let's see who has been assigned to me with these changes." She says to herself looking through the documents of those who would be her students as she walks through the halls of the mansion. Her eyes skim across the text as she begins to commit as much of the information that she could to memory. While documents were useful to her, she found that the best way of getting to know someone was from direct confrontation with them. "Well here's the easy part, now for the hard part of finding them."
