Naruto: The Way of the Great Lord
Chapter 10 Great Rulers on the Horizons

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 should also be trained on the Interrogation method, Usually this is done by a specially appointed Shinobi, but technically the three of you are not there. It makes this a little more fun." Then he started laughing. A deep, loud, threatening laugh that will give the skin goosebumps, so that a frightened baby will cry. "We're going to have fun for the next few months....."

His voice disappeared but the three of them could see the excitement within.

They went into the room, the room was dark and damp. The walls, floors, and even ceilings were covered in dark red stains, The smell of metal seemed to constantly be in the air.

Three Seats, Three buckets, that's all in the room.

"I thought you were going....." Shisui.

"Doton: Kajuu no Doro (Earth Style: Mud Weights)" Anbu spat out 12 lumps of mud on each of his third limbs, as their connected jutsu were slammed and slammed into the ground.

"The first step of the interrogation is to disable your target, simple right?"

The three then realized that the training had begun.

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

The pain, the agonizing pain, the pain so severe that death is the only thought that flows through your mind. Only to be freed from this suffering will you do anything. Can you Imagine that? I know I can. This 8 months has been my life.

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

Horrifically. We're Burned, Water Rises, Hunger, Lack of Sleep; And for all of you who think sleep deprivation isn't that bad, then you're never really sleep deprived. The hunger is good because we still have water, the burning is not too severe because he makes sure to heal us well so as not to leave scars, water boarding is not that bad because when you faint there is a moment of relief. However, lack of sleep is excruciating.

First you start to lose motor skills, which are all terrible but not as bad as the next problem.

Second you experience a big mood change that can make your best friend your worst enemy.

The three extreme paranoia that engulfed all of us at the same time, we began to question each other, we questioned Hokage, Father, the Anbu, To be honest we didn't think we were safe from their grand plan to kill us.

Then Finally Hallucination, Dust becomes an ant that crawls your skin and begins to eat you. They creep in your mouth, ears, and even your eyes to make sure nothing is left of you.

The thought flashed through my head during this training. And I'm sure that also crossed Itachi and Shisui's mind. We only have each other to look after each other, The worst part is Siri goes into standby mode to complete Sharingan analysis. So I can't even count on his witty comments to help me even though I feel alone, Scared, and I would do anything to never feel that way again.

The next four months we were sent to the wild, a plot of land to the north where chakra monsters roamed.

We were told to survive for four months.

....

Think about it....

Terrible right?

The chakra beast cannot be eaten. Well usually. I bought a method from a shop that made it possible, but when we tried to cook the meat, Class S showed up and we had to run for our lives.

So for four months we had to scavenge berries, nuts, fruits, and grasses to survive. The fire will attract hordes of animals so there is no fire. If you stay in one place for too long, the Wild Beasts will smell you so you keep moving. If you don't check an area before resting or advancing, it could be a nest of wild beasts and you'll have to run for your life.

Really bad. Painful. Frighteningly.

These words are the only words I can use to describe the evolution of that training.

Is it useful training? Yep.

Did you learn how to survive? Yep.

Are you going to do it again? NO. NOPE. NO. NOPE. YOU CAN'T PAY ME ENOUGH TO EVER DO IT AGAIN.

Once everything is done, we have the opportunity to design our masks. The most fun I've had in a long time. Itachi Picked the Panda. Shisui is a Rabbit and I chose the Smiling Monkey.

With our training all this time to carry out our first mission. Why is Anbu carrying out the mission you are asking? Answer's simple. The war is on the horizon.
