The Path Of The Great Sovereign

The Next morning we arrived at the Facility to begin our training, Mr.Anbu was already waiting in the Training area.

"Including basic Anbu training you must also be trained on Interrogation methods, Usually this is done by specially designated Shinobi however you Three technically don't exist. That makes this a bit more fun." He then begin to laugh. A deep,hardy, menacing laugh that would make the skin crawl, so frighting babies would cry. "We are going to have a lot of fun for the next few months....."

His voice trails off but the three can notice the joy in it.

They walk into the room, The room is dark and damp. The walls, Floor and even ceiling are covering in dark red stains, A metallic smell seems to be permanently in the air.

Three Chairs, Three buckets, that is the only things that are present in the room.

"I thought you were gon....." Shisui gets cut off by.

"Doton: Kajuu no Doro (Earth Style: Mud Weights)" The Anbu spits 12 blobs of mud at each limb of the trio, when the jutsu connects they are slammed and rooted to the ground.

"The first step to interrogation is incapacitating your target, Simple right?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pain, agonizing pain, Pain so severe death is the only thought that flows through your mind. Just to be released from this agony you would do anything. Can you Imagine that? I know I can. For 8 Months this has been my life.

During the first day of training our instructor determined while we had the combat skills necessary to be Anbu our mentality was not fully there yet so he increased difficulty. The first four months we were looked in that room while he "Instructed" each of us on the proper way to get information from a target.

It was Horrible. We were burned, Water boarded, Starved, Deprived of sleep; And for all of you that think being deprived of sleep is not that bad then you have never truly be deprived of sleep. The starvation was not bad because we still got water, The burning wasn't that bad because he made sure to heal us properly so it would not leave scars, the water boarding wasn't that bad because when you passed out there was a moment of relief. However, The Sleep deprivation was agonizing.

First you start losing motor skills, which all in all was terrible but not as bad as the later problems.

Second You experience vast mood changes that could make your best friend your worst enemy.

Third the extreme paranoia that hit us all at the same time, we started questioning each other, we questioned the Hokage, Father, That Anbu, We honestly didn't think we were safe from thier grand plan to kill us.

Then Finally the Hallucinations, Dust became ants that crawled up your skin and began eating you. They crawled in your mouth,ears, and even eyes to make sure nothing of you was left.

But The worst of it all was he put us in a room that had sound isolating seals in at and was padded so no sound was produced at all. You could hear your blood flowing through your veins and arteries. Your heart pumping and squishing, Your Lungs as they fill with air. It was maddening you would do anything to never hear that again, Like Kill yourself.

That Thought was going through my head the entire duration of this training. And I am positive it was going through Itachi and Shisui's mind too. We only had each other to keep one another in check, The worse part was Siri went into standby mode in order to finish analyzing the Sharingan. So I couldn't even count on he witty remarks to help get me though it I felt alone, Afraid, and I would have done anything to never feel like that again.

The next four months we were sent into the wild, a patch of land up north where the chakra beast roam.

We were told to survive for four months.

....

Think about that....

Terrible right?

Chakra beast aren't edible. Well usually. I bought a method from the store that made it possible, however when we tried to cook the meat an S Class appeared and we had to run for our lives.

So for Four months we had to scavenge berries, nuts, fruits, and grasses in order to survive. Fires would attract hordes of beasts so no fires. If you stay in one place for too long the beasts pick up your scent so you are constantly on the move. If you do not check an area before going to rest or advancing it could be the lair of a beast and you have to run for your life.

Terrible. Painful. Frightening.

These words are the only words that i could use to describe that training evolution.

Did you learn how to survive? Yes.

Would you do it again? NO. HELL NO. YOU COULDN'T PAY ME ENOUGH TO EVER DO THAT AGAIN.

When it was all done we had the opportunity to design our masks. Which was the most fun I had in a long time. Itachi Chose a Panda. Shisui a Rabbit. and I chose a Smiling Monkey.

With our training over its time to go on our first mission. Why is the Anbu going on a mission you ask? The answer is simple. War is on the Horizon.
