33 Chapter 33 : The Wrath of Stone Cold (1/2)

E....E...E.....Esk.....Esk....Esket...Esketit.

”Are you sure you don't need any help?” Kaito asked Kenji.

All Kenji had was a sword and kunai.

”I'm sure even you wouldn't want to see this. I'll be fine. Just let me do what I do best.” He said.

Kaito shuddered.

The entire village could hear screams and yelling throughout the night. No one slept at all. Kenji started with plainly asking questions. Just wanted to make sure. How many are there? Where are they held up? Where is the leader? All kinds of questions. He started ripping out fingernails. He moved to cutting off fingers. One man lied to him. Kenji could tell with his sharingan. His breathing increased. His heartbeat. Kenji tore out his tongue and burned through his throat, cinched his vocal chords. He'd never talk again. For the other three, Kenji pierced the eyelid right above the eyeball. The commander always told him, this was the worst pain of all. It would make anyone talk.

Kenji was surprised. He wanted to break all four ninja to receive multiple accounts to his questions. It was more reliable that way, but one shinobi still didn't crack. So....Kenji took both his arms....while burning his nubs with fire release so he wouldn't bleed out. And that was it. He didn't even hesitate once. He could easily give the Leaf's information getters a run for their money.

While dawn cracked the sky, the leaders and several civilians waited a good distance from the cellar. No one brought their kids for the fear of seeing something they didn't need to see. And it was a wise move. Kenji emerged from the cellar, nothing in his eyes. It's like he had a certain mode or mindset he turned to when doing deeds like this. His emotions dulled. His eyes switched back to the light, ghostly grey. The attention then carried to his clothes, soaked in blood. His hands still gripped a knife. He looked like a butcher.

The crowd of people took a few steps back. Kaito stepped up and met Kenji halfway.

”Do I want to ask what you've been through?” Kaito had some guesses at first, but this sight proved his theories as a little off course.

Kenji disregarded the remark. ”....” He turned to the open door. ”I'm sorry to ask, but could you check their wounds so they won't die?”

Kaito didn't want to go down there, but he nodded anyway. ”What's the next move?”

”I'm going up the mountain to get them back. Those guys told me a lot, so I think I'll be okay. I'll tell everyone else.”

”Alright.” Kaito grabbed his equipment and entered the dungeon. Kenji thought he heard someone puking after he went down. He'd have to apologize afterwards, but Kenji thought torture was necessary in this world.

He approached the crowd with the same cold face. There was a little tension in the air.

”Leaders.” Kenji grabbed their attention. ”Someone send to the Leaf that we'll need some help sending these guys to prison. I'm going to finish it right now.”

”Are you sure?” The woman said.

”Yes.”

Another leader, that seemed to be a hunter, asked ”Should we wait until reinforcements arrive?”
