The blue-haired teenager’s eyes began to flutter. Her senses started to function again, and she became aware of her surroundings. She had yet to open her eyes, but she could feel the atmosphere. She tried to decipher where she was, but she kept her movement to a minimum, trying to pretend that she was still unconscious.
The girl realized that she was sitting in a chair, and her hands were out in front of her. She could feel shackles on her wrists, and her legs were bound to the chair that she was sitting in. Her wrists were chained to a table that was placed in front of her. The air was stagnant, so there were probably no windows. She didn’t sense anyone else in the room, so she slowly opened her eyes.
The room was completely made of metal, even the table and chairs. Just as she thought, there were no windows, and a large door was sitting to her right. The girl glanced at her hands. She could move her fingers, but the chains were so tight that they were cutting off the circulation, making it almost painful to try to move her hands.
The Blue Tiger of the Mist smirked. “Well, isn’t this a nice way to wake up?” she said to herself sarcastically.
Suddenly, the big metal door was thrown open. The girl didn’t even flinch; she merely looked at the doorway out of the corner of her eye. A tall tan man with two scars across his face walked in. He was wearing a black overcoat with the collar high enough to nearly cover his cheeks. His head was covered with a bandana, the Leaf symbol placed on the front. His sharp eyes held nothing but strength and intimidation as he stared at the chained girl.
He walked inside and stood across the table from the girl. Their eyes were studying each other, neither wanting to show any sign of trepidation.
The man sat down in the chair and finally decided to break the silence. “I see that you have finally awoken.”
“How very observant of you,” the girl replied calmly. She could tell just by looking at this guy that his job was to try and scare her. She wouldn’t let herself be afraid of a guy like him. She had taken down guys bigger and scarier than him.
“Are you always this quick to make snarky comments?” the man asked.
“Are you always this ugly?” the blue-haired teen shot back.
Rather than yelling at her, he merely smiled. “You may think that you are a tough little girl. But I’ll have you know… there is no getting yourself out of this situation. I don’t care how smart they say you are. You’re not clever enough to outsmart me.”
“First of all, don’t call me little. I’ve taken down shinobi bigger than you,” the girl countered. “Second of all, you shouldn’t let yourself get too cocky. If I wasn’t chained to this chair, you would have been dead the second you walked in.”
“But you are chained to that chair, and therefore, you are in no position to threaten me,” the man said. Then he smiled in a malicious manner. “However, I do commend you on your bravery. Not many people, let alone teenagers, have the gall to backtalk me. People were accurate when they chose to nickname you the Blue Tiger of the Mist. However, now that you’re captured, I don’t find it necessary to call you that.”
The man reached inside his jacket and pulled out a file. He placed it on the table and opened it, revealing documents and pictures. The largest picture was of the Blue Tiger. The main differences between the picture and the real person were that the photo was of a slightly younger version of her, and she was wearing a forehead protector around her forehead with the insignia of the Village Hidden in the Mist imprinted on it.
That forehead protector was lost somewhere in the ocean now.
“You’re not the mighty captain of the Blue Pirates now. You’re my prisoner,” the man sneered at her. “You’re in my domain now, and I have the upper hand. You don’t have the privilege of being called the Blue Tiger of the Mist anymore. Now… you are only Kasumi Mayonaka.”
The blue-haired girl grimaced. Not at her birth name, but at the fact that this man was trying to use it as a way of intimidating her into submission.
Kasumi lifted her head and smiled at him. “Well, I see that the Konoha ninja certainly are resourceful when it comes to obtaining information. And I may be your prisoner, but come now, let us have a little courtesy, shall we? You already know my name, but I do not know yours. Care to share?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ibiki Morino stared hard at the girl. “To you, that is confidential.”
“You’re such a stiff,” Kasumi said.
The man ignored her and started pulling out documents from her file. “Kasumi Mayonaka…” he said aloud as he read the page in his hand. “Of the Mayonaka clan in the Hidden Mist Village… parents were Suisei and Hanabira Mayonaka… had a little brother named Taiyou…”
Kasumi’s face involuntarily twitched when Ibiki started calling off the names of her family. If her hands had been able to move right now, they’d be shaking. She tried to keep her breathing steady, but that stupid man just kept on talking.
“…Became a genin at ten… teammates were Mizuki Tenshi and Izumi Shirotori…”
“And I left my village at the age of twelve, alright?” Kasumi interrupted impatiently.
Ibiki looked over the top of the page to stare fiercely at her. He put the paper down so he could focus his entire glare on her. The girl inwardly sighed in relief when his attention was now on her and not her file.
“Did I say that you could interrupt me?” Ibiki asked.
“Pfft, you sound like a teacher,” the girl laughed. “And I don’t care what you said. Hearing about my life is unnecessary, considering I’ve lived through it. I’m pretty sure I don’t need to listen to you repeat every single detail of my life.”
“Alright, fine. Since you’re so anxious, let’s get to the real reason why you’re sitting here rather than rotting in a prison cell,” Ibiki said.
He stood up and walked around the table so he that he was standing behind Kasumi’s chair. She held her head high and didn’t turn around to look at him. But she kept cautious as she glanced at him from the corners of her eyes.
“Where is your hideout? Where do the Blue Pirates go after a raid?” the interrogator asked.
“Hideout? What do you think we are?” Kasumi asked with a raised eyebrow. “We’re pirates. We spend all of our time at sea.”
“You have to hide the things you steal somewhere,” Ibiki said.
“Nope. There is no hideout,” Kasumi answered.
“I don’t believe you.”
“You don’t have to.”
“You have to leave your ship somewhere when you attack villages.”
“It’s called a dock,” Kasumi answered in a matter-of-fact tone.
“Then why have there been no sightings of The Midnight Thief when you aren’t near it?” Ibiki asked.
“I don’t know. Maybe you guys just aren’t looking hard enough,” the girl lied as she shrugged.
She could tell him that they had a missing-nin who used genjutsu in the crew. He was able to cover the ship when it was unguarded, making it seem invisible to any passerby. But she felt it was unsafe to give this guy too much information.
“Who are the members of the Blue Pirates? Give me names,” Ibiki ordered.
“Like hell I’ll give you names,” Kasumi replied.
“Why do you care about them?” the man asked. “They left you behind when you lost to our shinobi. They took your ship and sailed away without you.”
Ah, so he was going to play that card. He was trying to make her feel insignificant to her crew so she wouldn’t feel guilty if she decided to sell them out.
Too bad for him that she was an honorable captain. Even if she hadn’t been planning to be captured by the Leaf ninja, she still wouldn’t sell out her crew.
“Forget it. I’m not telling you anything about my crew,” Kasumi said.
“From what I heard, those pirates left you all alone,” Ibiki continued. “They left you behind and didn’t even look back. If they treat their precious captain like that, then they should mean nothing to you as well.”
“From what I remember from my ninja training, that’s what normal shinobi do as well,” Kasumi replied calmly.
“What is that supposed to mean?” the interrogator asked defensively.
“The ninja conduct states that the mission always comes first, even before comrades,” the blue-haired girl said. “Don’t try to insult my crew by insinuating that they are trash. You shinobi do the same thing all the time. You would leave a dying teammate out in the battlefield if that meant that you could save yourself and your village.”
The man with the scars on his face didn’t even bother to counter with what she had said. Indeed, she was right. She was an ex-ninja, so she would know about the rules of a shinobi. He turned away from her and continued on with the questioning.
“I want you to tell me where your crew is headed,” Ibiki said, changing the subject.
“How should I know where they’re going?” the girl retorted.
“You’re the captain of the Blue Pirates. There is no doubt in my mind that you have connections with them and know of their whereabouts,” Ibiki said.
“If I recall, you just said that I am no longer the captain of the Blue Pirates. Instead, I’m now your prisoner,” Kasumi replied smartly.
She could feel her interrogator stiffen behind her. He had been outsmarted. By his own words, no less.
“Still think you have the upper hand?” Kasumi asked innocently.
Ibiki walked back towards his seat, ignoring the superior look she was giving him. He had to fight the urge to choke the girl. She was so annoying, yet it was all apart of her plan. She was trying to wear him down with her little counter remarks. And she was winning. Because so far, she had been able to evade answering any of his questions.
Not looking back at his prisoner, he picked up her file and walked towards the door to leave. When he opened the door, Kasumi saw that there were five ANBU guards standing outside. Her interrogator was whispering something to them, but she couldn’t hear what he was saying. The masked ninja all nodded at him, and Ibiki walked down the hall. He had some important matters to discuss with the Fifth Hokage.
The ANBU guards walked inside the room and moved over towards the girl chained to the chair. One of the guards who had a bird-faced mask placed a thick metal band with a red gem in the middle on her upper arm. Then they released her from her chains, and two of the guards grabbed both of her arms. The ANBU then led her out of the room and down the hall, in the opposite direction of where Ibiki had gone.
They dragged her down a series of stairs until they were underground. The walls were made of stone, and several cages were lined along the hallway. The guards led her down a little ways, and Kasumi could see some of the prisoners that were kept down here.
They were nearly dead.
They were all slumped against the walls in exhaustion. Their skin was nearly gray, probably from the lack of fresh air they were getting. Their hair was matted to their faces from sweat; some people had lost their hair from the lack of proper care. They all were unimaginably thin. Their bones were practically protruding from their skin.
The blue-haired teen stared at the prisoners. As she passed one, he lifted his head to look up. The single movement appeared to be excruciatingly difficult and painful. Kasumi’s eyes locked with his, and she saw…
Nothing.
There was nothing in his eyes. He was empty, just as all the other prisoners were. They had lived in these cages too long to know what life was. Actually, they didn’t even know that they were alive. They didn’t feel anything. Their senses were numb, and their minds were blank.
The girl quickly looked away from the man’s lifeless eyes. She had seen dead eyes before. She had killed many people and had looked down into the eyes of those that she had murdered. But she had never seen someone so near death. There was a difference between the dead and these prisoners. The dead literally had nothing left. But these prisoners, who were so near death, still subconsciously clung to life. Kasumi could feel it. With each ragged breath they took, they were trying to steal another moment of life.
It was sad, and the teenager couldn’t help but feel bad for these people, which was a lot coming from her. She was known as a mysterious being who killed without hesitation and then disappeared from everyone’s sights, back into her habitat. She was a tiger…she struck when people least expected it, but she killed them quickly, rather than extending the dying process to unnecessary lengths.
These people were suffering from that. Their deaths were so close, yet, they were stuck living in these terrible conditions.
Kasumi looked up when she heard the clanging of metal. One of the ANBU guards had opened the door to an empty cell. The guards that were holding her arms roughly shoved her inside and slammed the cage door. Without a word, they turned and left her alone with the other prisoners in their own cages.
The girl walked over to the cage door and peeked out from between the bars. The ANBU were gone, and she could hear the slight moaning of the other prisoners. She glanced down at the band that had been placed on her arm.
“What do you do?” she whispered.
She attempted to focus chakra into her hands. Suddenly, the red gem in the band started to glow, and the metal began to burn her flesh. She hissed as she released the chakra and grabbed her arm in pain.
“Chakra bracelet, huh?” she answered her previous question. The metal band was going to burn her skin every time she tried to use chakra. “Well, I guess all I have to do is get rid of you,” she said as she looked at the red gem.
She lightly slipped off her right boot and held it so that the three-inch heel was facing towards the gem. Carefully, she jammed the heel so that it was hitting the red rock. Normally, she would have used a kunai, but the Leaf ninja had taken all her weapon pouches. Too bad they didn’t know that high heels were pretty dangerous as well.
The first time she struck the gem, the heel did little damage. “You little bugger,” she said angrily.
She continued to hit the band with her heel. On the seventh time, she was able to puncture the red gem, revealing a small circuitry within the band. Kasumi carefully reached her fingers into the circuitry and ripped out the wires, rendering the band useless. It shocked her fingers, and she winced at the electricity. But she smiled at her work. With a little chakra focused into her hand, she was able to pull the remaining parts of the band off of her arm.
She slipped her boot back on and smiled down at it. “Whoever invented high heels was a genius.”
The air in this prison was dry, making it impossible for Kasumi to draw water from it. So she opted for the next best thing. She slipped her glove off and sliced her palm on the heel of her boot.
“Hidden Elemental Release: Water Manipulation Jutsu…”
Her kekkei genkai made it easy for her to control any form of liquid. Even though it wasn’t a lot of blood, it was still enough for her to use. She used the resulting blood from her cut to create a sharp edge that was able to slice through the bars. Two bars were sliced in half. She carefully removed them so as not to make any noise. Thanks to her petite form, she was able to slide through the opening. Glancing back at the cell, she smiled, proud of her work.
“Ah, sometimes I amaze even myself,” she whispered.
She slid her glove back on and quickly ran down the hallway, out of the prison, and made her way back into the hallway where she had been questioned. She cautiously made her way down the hall, making sure no one was around.
After turning a few corners, she found herself standing in front of the main information office in the Interrogation Department. This was where all info found from criminals, spies, and captured enemies was held. It was all documented in here.
She quietly slipped inside to be met with bookshelves, cabinets, and desks full of papers and documents. Kasumi grinned at her findings. “Phase Two of my plan starts now.”
She brought her hand into a seal, activating her kekkei genkai again. “Hidden Elemental Release: Water Manipulation Jutsu.” Slowly, water that she was extracting from the air began to form into a giant sphere behind her. With a flick of her hand, the water swooshed down into the office to flood the room.
**********************************************************
“What was it you wanted to discuss, Ibiki?” Tsunade asked as she turned her seat around to face the Head of Interrogation.
“It’s about the Blue Tiger of the Mist. I just had the chance to question her,” the man replied.
The Hokage’s eyebrows rose. “Continue.”
“I apologize, My Lady… I wasn’t able to get any answers from her,” Ibiki said shamefully.
Tsunade sighed in disappointment. “I see…”
“However, I did learn something interesting from her file that I think you would like to see,” Ibiki said as he handed Kasumi’s file to the woman.
The Hokage took the folder and immediately began to flip through it. “It says she was a talented shinobi of a family with a special bloodline limit. They were able to manipulate certain elements based on their chakra type,” she read.
“That’s not the most interesting bit,” Ibiki said. “Skip to page five.”
The blonde woman obeyed and flipped to the designated page. She read the information, and her eyebrows shot up into her hairline. “This says…”
“Yes. Her parents, brother, and teammates were suddenly killed by someone unknown in the same day. She left the Mist Village a week after their funerals,” Ibiki informed. “I saw this page after I left her to be placed in a cell. But when I mentioned the names of her family and comrades during the questioning, she instantly grew anxious.”
“Think this has something to do with her being the Blue Tiger of the Mist?” Tsunade asked.
“I’m quite sure that it does,” Ibiki said.
“We can use this bit of history to get her to release some more helpful information,” the Fifth Hokage said as she placed the file on her desk. She laced her fingers together and stared at the man in front of her. “The Blue Tiger of the Mist…Kasumi Mayonaka…has a lot of secrets that she’s hiding, and I want them revealed soon.”
“I’ll get right on that, Lady Hokage,” the Head of Interrogation said as he bowed.
As he turned to leave, a very panicked-looking chuunin barged into the room. “Lady Hokage!”
“Don’t you knock, Izumo?” Tsunade snapped impatiently.
“I apologize, milady. But there has been an emergency. The information center in the Interrogation Department has been flooded,” Izumo Kamizuki informed.
“Flooded?!” Tsunade screamed in astonishment. She stood up so quickly from her chair that it fell backwards, landing on the ground.
“Yes, it was-” Izumo started but the Hokage cut him off.
“I know exactly who it was,” Tsunade growled. “I want ten search platoons deployed immediately. The whole village needs to be searched from top to bottom. Turn it upside down if you have to. I want Kasumi Mayonaka apprehended immediately!”
“Um… that… that won’t be necessary…” Izumo said as he scratched the back of his head nervously.
“What are you talking about?” Tsunade asked in confusion.
“She… she didn’t run away,” Izumo informed. “After she destroyed the office, she sat down and waited for the guards to find her. Literally, she sat down and waited outside the room.”
Tsunade stared at him for a full ten seconds before she finally regained herself. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. “Take me to her.”
**********************************************************
Kasumi found herself sitting in the same metal room she had woken up in earlier that day. This time, the ANBU guards had tied her wrists behind her back with rope and placed a seal on it to prevent her from taking it off. Her legs were not chained to anything this time, so she decided to rest for a bit while she waited for someone to enter the room. She propped her feet up on the table, and placed her head back to stare at the ceiling relaxingly.
The door was thrown open quickly and loudly as it smashed against the wall. The ruckus that was made when the door was opened surprised the blue-haired girl so much that she actually almost snapped her neck when she looked over so rapidly.
Her interrogator from before walked in, but before him, a blonde woman with large breasts was practically stomping inside the room. She took her position across the table from Kasumi and sat down in the other chair. Ibiki stood on her left, and the two Leaf ninja glared at her.
The fact that her feet were still placed leisurely on the table probably didn’t bode well for her, but it was so easy to annoy people that Kasumi actually had the nerve to flash a smile at the two. “Hello, there,” she said, still grinning.
“Wipe that stupid smile off your face,” the woman barked at her.
“Why? It was only to greet you,” the girl replied.
“Don’t try to act all innocent,” the blonde snapped. “You’re a criminal, and you will be treated as such.”
“Does that mean milk and cookies?” Kasumi asked innocently.
“Shut up,” Tsunade snarled.
“Geez, you’re more of a stiff than Ugly over there,” the girl said as she nodded her head in Ibiki’s direction.
“If you know what’s good for you, you’ll shut that annoying trap of yours and show some respect to the Hokage,” Ibiki intervened before Tsunade could throw the table at the prisoner. And the Fifth looked about ready to do just that. Her patience was wearing dangerously thin.
“Ugh, the Leaf Village is full of party poopers,” Kasumi sighed. “Alright, to what do I owe the presence of the Fifth Hokage?”
“You broke out of your prison cell and flooded the information center,” Tsunade said, as if she was telling Kasumi something she didn’t already know.
“Yeah… so?”
“Is that really all you have to say for yourself?” Tsunade asked.
“What do you want me to say?”
“I want you to tell me how you were able to escape from the chakra bracelet and your prison cell,” Tsunade said. “It was estimated that you escaped from your cell in the time span of thirty minutes. Including you, less than five people have ever escaped from that prison. And it took them over twenty-four hours to come up with a plan before initiating it. How did you do it?”
“First off, I would say it was actually about nineteen minutes, but hey, who’s counting?” Kasumi said. “Second of all, you Leaf ninja are very naïve if you think I’ll tell you anything about my abilities.”
“I’m not naïve. I’m persuasive,” Tsunade said. She lifted her right hand, and using her index finger and thumb, she crunched a corner of the metal table. She then broke it off and held it up in display for the prisoner.
Kasumi raised an eyebrow. “Impressive strength…maybe if you untied my restraints, we could spar.”
“That was a pathetic attempt at trying to escape,” Tsunade said as she narrowed her eyes at the Blue Tiger.
“Who said I was trying to escape?” Kasumi retorted.
Tsunade then remembered what Izumo had said when he had come to tell her what the prisoner had done to the information office.
"She… she didn’t run away. After she destroyed the office, she sat down and waited for the guards to find her. Literally, she sat down and waited outside the room."
Tsunade stared at the teenager sitting across from her. “Why didn’t you try to escape? If you were able to escape your prison cell and destroy the information office, why just sit there and wait for someone to find you?”
When Kasumi had been discussing her plan to destroy Konoha with her crew, she had pretty much mapped out how she was going to do it. In order to be able to continue to strike it from the inside, she would have to stay alive and pretend to be a prisoner. She had even decided what she would say to the Hokage should she meet her.
But her speech to the Hokage changed when she saw what was in that prison. It was disgusting to see people like that, and she was a killer. To make her feel that uncomfortable was an accomplishment, and not in a good way. When she saw those prisoners, she decided she would discuss this instead with the Hokage.
“I wanted to talk to you,” Kasumi said in answer to Tsunade’s question. She removed her legs from the table to look at her directly.
“About what?”
“Do you treat all your prisoners like that?” the blue-haired girl asked. “Those people down there… they were all so close to death. You make them live like that? Because that’s disgusting and repulsive, the way you do things.”
Tsunade was completely taken by surprise that that was what Kasumi wanted to discuss. She certainly didn’t expect to hear that from the Blue Tiger of the Mist. “Hmm… so they were wrong when they said the Blue Tiger of the Mist didn’t have a heart,” she said with a smirk.
“I don’t have a heart,” Kasumi clarified. "Because it was ripped out a long time ago…" she added inwardly to herself, but she didn’t want to say that out loud.
“Then what gives you the right to talk about our prison system?” Tsunade asked impatiently.
Kasumi glared at the Hokage and the man standing beside her. “I have killed countless people. But I do it quickly and without hesitation. To prolong death is a different form of heartlessness. The way you Leaf ninja do things is ghastly… and you all call me a villain for what I do. Not once have I ever made a person suffer for that long, forcing them to watch themselves slowly wither away until there is nothing left.”
Tsunade’s eyebrows rose. This girl sitting in front of her… she was so hard to read. She was a merciless powerful pirate captain who was known for destroying everything in her wake. And here she was, preaching to her about how the Leaf prison system was abominable.
The blonde woman inwardly smirked to herself. "Hidden secrets, indeed…" she thought to herself. Tsunade brought her hazel eyes up to stare into Kasumi’s coal black ones. “Well, I guess that concludes our questioning for now.”
“You’re trying to avoid the subject,” Kasumi said. “Do you make all your prisoners suffer like that?”
“I don’t have to answer to you. And you are not in any position to convince me otherwise,” Tsunade said. “Now, to decide on a suitable punishment…”
Both Kasumi and Ibiki stared at her in surprise. “Um…Lady Tsunade…that’s it? You don’t wish to question her anymore?” Ibiki asked.
“No, there is no need,” Tsunade smiled.
“So now what? You gonna execute me for destroying your precious information center?” Kasumi asked, tilting her head to the side a bit.
“No, I think I’ll keep you alive for a while. Because there will come a time when I will get the information I really want from you,” Tsunade said with an evil smile.
“Wow… cocky much?” Kasumi remarked.
“Instead, your punishment will be something new,” Tsunade smirked at the blue-haired teen. “It’s something I like to call…reformation.”
Ibiki glanced at the Hokage uncertainly. This was certainly the first time he had ever heard of this new punishment.
Kasumi wasn’t sure if she liked the way that sounded. Her eyebrows rose nervously, and then she furrowed them when she tried to figure out what that could possibly mean. “Reform-what?”
“Aw, did I just say a word that was too complicated for you to understand?” Tsunade asked in a mocking tone.
“I know what reformation means,” the teen growled. “What I want to know is what the hell it has to do with me.”
“For as long as I feel it is necessary, you will be guarded with a team of Leaf ninja. But instead of staying put in a cell, you’ll be allowed to roam freely throughout the village,” Tsunade informed.
The pirate captain narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the village leader. “What’s the catch?”
“The catch is that these ninja will be teaching you to be a well-behaved young adult. You will not be allowed to go anywhere without the shinobi tailing you. You will do everything they tell you to. Your hobby of causing destruction will be eliminated, and your guards will be training you to be a polite young lady, as opposed to your current bratty and sarcastic behavior. When this punishment is through, you will no longer be a pirate captain. Instead, you will be considered a ‘better person’.”
Kasumi’s mouth fell open. What happened to just locking her up? What the heck was wrong with this place? “What kind of sick village are you running here?”
Tsunade smirked spitefully at her prisoner. “Welcome to the Village Hidden in the Leaves.”
She stood up and headed to the door, Ibiki following. As the two departed, the ANBU guards walked back inside to take the prisoner away into an even more heavily guarded cell.
“Lady Tsunade… are you sure this is a good idea?” Ibiki asked. “Wouldn’t it be easier to lock her up in a cell until she breaks like the other prisoners did? Or we could just have Inoichi Yamanaka read her mind. Why go through all this?”
“Kasumi Mayonaka is a very smart girl,” Tsunade explained as she walked down the hall. “There is no doubt in my mind that she would be able to escape any cell we put her in or break any seal we place her under. And what she said about our other prisoners was rather interesting…I don’t think she would break as easily as they did after what I just heard from her. Plus, she’ll have detailed defenses in her mind that would take too long to tear down, I’m sure of it. It will be easier for her to be worn down with the help of other shinobi reforming her.”
“Alright, if you say so,” Ibiki said uncertainly. “Do you wish for me to gather a group of shinobi to prepare for this new method of punishment?”
“I already have the teams picked out in my head,” Tsunade said. “Four specific teams are all that will be required for this mission.”
And with that, the Hokage and the Head of Interrogation left the building to proceed with contacting the four teams that would be initiating the reformation.
