Chapter 3 - Interrogation

Alex stood in the dark room, four chairs stood at the opposite end each with a Leaf Shinobi they had caught the night prior sat on top; their arms and legs had been chained to the wall behind in such a way their hands could not meet to perform any Jutsu.

Alex approached them as they sat silently, their heads lowered looking towards the floor, only to look up at the sound of footsteps approaching slowly.

"I want answers," Alex said calmly, staring deep into the Jonin's eyes, "Tell me, what was the mission you were in this land for?"

"I- I can't tell you, it's classified information!" The Jonin said, the pain of the chains digging into the flesh on his wrists and ankles making it hard to focus.

"I don't care if it's classified or whatever," Alex continued, anger setting into his voice, "Tell me. If you keep refusing to give me what I want I'll kill each of these precious genin of yours, and you don't want that, do you?" He finished, a sadistic grin appearing on his face.

"I- I can't just let them die." The Jonin said finally, raising his head slightly more to meet Alex's gaze, "Fine, I'll tell you. The Hokage tasked us with finding his pupils, apparently, they were on a mission in the rain village, but we could only find two of their dead bodies there, so we came here to try and find the third. We assume he is alive as his body was not with his companions and the man we assume caused their deaths was dead in the same location."

Alex immediately realized that they were looking for Jiraiya, assuming he was alive as his body was not with Tsunade and Orochimaru's. "I assume you are going under the assumption that Jiraiya killed Hanzo after a long fight, in which Tsunade and Orochimaru had died, then retreated to find somewhere to rest and heal?" Alex said in reply.

"That's right, but how do you know what happened?" The Jonin asked, confusion evident in his voice,

"Well, I was the one who killed all four of them," Alex answered in a calm tone, his sadistic grin growing larger on his face. "Them three had no chance against Hanzo, so I put them out of their misery and finished their job for them."

"What! You killed Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru and Hanzo?!" The leaf Jonin said, his voice filled to the brim with disbelief.

"I did, and if you don't listen to every single word I'm about to say, you will suffer the same fate as they did." As he speaks, he peers at the Genin, who are shaking in fear, especially a boy with dark brown hair and green eyes, he was practically sobbing, tears running down his face, terrified of the situation.

Alex pointed at him, "Stop crying, I need you to listen to me." He says, an angered expression replacing his former sadistic grin.

The boy tries to calm himself, wiping his tears on his shoulder as best he can without the use of his hands, "I- I'm sorry, It's just your chakra is so dense and big, it felt like I was drowning in it." The boy said.

"Ah, I see. I apologize for not concealing my chakra whilst around such weak people." Alex said in jest, chuckling to himself lightly as he continued: "I will set you free, I have no use for you here and I think you going and spreading rumors about our here village would be in my best interest at the moment." He says, unlocking the chains from the four shinobi.

As the Jonin stood, he immediately started to perform hand signs faster than the normal eye could see, blasting a huge ball of flame from his mouth onto Alex, who stood there, unscathed,

"So you would prefer to die?" Alex said, a grin appearing on his face again, "Very well, I will grant you that wish." He finished, walking slowly towards the ninja, who is paralyzed in fear, grabbing his head and crushing it, blood squirting out from between his fingers.

Alex glares at the genin, who quickly start crying and running, trying to escape, which Alex allows. He had decided it would be good for his plans if people learn of his power, it could attract people to either challenge him or join his cause, both of which fascinate him.
