1 Focus your anger [Sousetsu Only | Private | No kill] Mon Oct 27, 2014 9:32 pm

S-rank
Raging was an understatement, one of a rather high nature. Given the state of the holding cell being passed as his 'room'; one could say the lion had gone completely off his rocker. Tongues of flame as long as a man's forearm licked the ceiling from the walls; glass lay shattered and sparkling on the floor; who knows who's blood was caking the walls a nasty shade of ruddy brown. One of his 'handlers' lay dead in the doorway; decapitated and slowly spreading a pool of blood below him. Naota was... angry; in many ways. This wasn't one of his bursts of insanity, however; he was completely lucid, or as much as he ever got. This was a show, the kind of show that got the attention he wanted. Oh, this wasn't some childish "PAY ATTENTION OR I BREAK SHIT" plea for people to look at him.
No, he was trying to force the attention of the people that kept him locked away. The more havoc he caused, the higher up the ladder they'd move him. A few minutes of screaming? Maybe a bang on the door by a handler. Ice shards in the walls? Maybe a visit from a Captain. Kill a few of the handlers he didn't like? Right up to the Leader.
That's what he wanted. He wanted to see the man that brought him to this place. He wanted to talk to him again; ask why he was being caged like an animal still; the last time he'd been visited, there was a promise to at least move him above ground, or even release him from this prison should he keep himself in check. If he was reading the season correctly on his last few trips above... it had been over a year since that day; and nothing. The Elders... they had to be doing it... they thought of him as a weapon; sub human and nothing more than a tool; his ears didn't help either, a mark of his animal status. No, not animal; no animal was treated this way.
He just wanted to see the sun, feel the breeze on his skin once again. Maybe even have a chance to speak with those people he'd met again; that young woman, the older male... they seemed nice... and he could handle being around small groups. It wouldn't be too much to at least let him be around others with similar powers... the Jounin, if he remembered correctly. Or even with the ANBU that watched him; just... not in a cage... not underground.
He didn't want much... right?
"The king is dead."
He didn't even need to be leashed; he was calm by that point; merely standing in the center of the room with his hands at his side and his ears down. The command triggered his seal; his mind went blank and his body turned numb, weak. Unknown ninja rushed in; jutsu ready to kill him if he so much as twitched. Special gear; gloves that bound his hands, shackles that kept him from moving with much freedom; a mask that blocked his mouth and stifled his breathing. Anything to stop him from even trying to use his skills. They'd keep them on until they reached wherever he was being taken.
With luck... it was to the Hokage. That man that was always kind; had always understood his problems; or seemed to; but he was not HIM. If not... he was in for one hell of a nasty week of punishment ordered by the elders for 'rebelling'; as they called it.
It was worth it to try. That's what he hoped, anyway. It was a strong enough wish that it broke through the seal and gave him something to focus on; a sliver of hope, a sliver of something.
And then he was being dragged. To where, he didn't know; he merely went along for the ride.
