Once Broken [Flashback:Private]

Dante had brought the brutally beaten Uchiha to a secret lab within the highly restricted areas underneat the Kage's building. The man was unconcious when he brought him here so he would not know where he was or how to get into this restricited area. In this lab, many experiments were conducted and research was done. Dante valued the ideas of scientist. Many projects that may have been deemed inhumane were done here.

On a steel table would lay the Uchiha. He had been operated on to fix his wounds completely within a week's worth of time. Dante checked in everyday to monitor the work. Today however should be the last day when the anesthesia would have worn off and the man would wake up finally. Dante doesn't know if the man would remember what happened or why he was here. The lab workers and medics made sure to restrain him to this table with high tech restraints. If he tried to force the restraints open he would be given a paralyzing shock of electricity and possibly be knocked out again.

Standing not too far from this table would be the hooded mizukage, waiting to speak with the man. The workers were all hovering around the man on the table, making the final checks. This man was broken in several places. He literally had his back blown out and that was the majority of the week's work. He had also gotten a few skull fractures because of Dante's clone's careless nature allowing the man's head to hit against various walls as they transported him here. Anywho the man should wake up soon.

As Soul thought in his mind he had flashbacks up all the damage done to him. He wasn't very happy with getting beat up this way but he knew he had to get stronger. He knew he had to find a way to beat those two men who attacked him not to long ago. As a slithering began on Souls arms he awoken. His eyes burning in pain and he saw a group of people. Medical assistants maybe?. As the slithering continued around Souls arms 5 small snakes emerged. 3 on his left arm 2 on his right. Souls Sharingan activated and he saw the Mizukage. Soul started breathing heavy as if he was in panic. "Lord Mizukage. What the hell is wrong? Where am I"

Dante watched the snakes appear out of no where it would seem. He just smirked. The medical assistants seemed rather alarmed and stepped back a few steps. Dante just took his place standing near the man. He looked at the snakes, curiously. "Interesting." he said. Dante did not fear snakes, nothing new in the cold world. "You are rather weak kid. Your eyes may be strong, but you yourself are weak. Just having the will to fight isn't enough if you lack the skill to win." he said coldy walking around the table he lied on. His eyes still on the snakes, he was thinking about something. Dante sighed, stopping right above the uchiha's head. The boy would only see darkness inside the hood of the mizukage. "You see, we have this policy about getting rid of the weak. Do you think you can convince me to spare your life for a second chance?" he said coldly as a kunai slid into the palm of his hand from underneath his sleeve. Dante wanted to see where this man was now at this point of his life.

As Soul started to wonder why he was strapped down he thought it wasn't really important. As the snakes somehow bit their way through the straps Soul stood up. He looked around as he smirked he caused a wave of reiatsu from a small blade he had tapped slicing all the medical ninja in the room. As they all fell Soul looked at his leader and smirked. "I may be weak. But all i did was to become stronger. Now i don't care if you have no faith in my words i do not care."

[You're funny, btw this isn't bleach.]

Dante watched as the snakes attempted to bite through the high tech restraints, however these restraints could prevent even full grown ninja from just breaking free, so they stood no chance. All of the snakes bit at the restraints and had electricity surge through their slender bodies, frying them. Normally the electricity would paralyze the human being or even make them unconscious. Yet due the body mass of these rather small snakes, they stood no chance at enduring the voltage and simply died. Dante's eyes would shift from the dead snakes to the uchiha that still remained on the table. "Those poor creatures. Did you think they would help your escape? Do you even realize your own weakness right now? You rather try and break free of this situation than face it head on." he said bringing the kunai to the man's neck. The point of it piercing the skin as he very slowly moved it across horizontally. It wasn't in a place that would endanger his life but it was one that would be painful to bare. Little did the Uchiha know that Dante was prepping him for something great, but it would only be granted if he proved his worth here and now.

Soul watched as his snakes were fried and killed. They recoiled into his arms limp as they were dead. All they needed was to take a trip home and shed skin. Soul smirked as he was stuck in the trenches. He knew that this wouldn't end pretty but his main objective was to become stronger and he clearly knew that the mizukage could help him accomplish this. Soul began to smirk as a kunai ws placed at his neck than it slowly began to slide along it. He began to scream as he said ""What do you want?"

Dante found satisfaction in the man's scream and questioning. He now understood the rules of the game.....somewhat. Dante stopped the kunai and drew back a little, entering a pose that signaled someone in thought. [color=red]"Its quite simple actually. I need you to be a part of a team of mine. Dante looked at the kunai as blood dripped from it. He simply swung it in the air, the blood whipping of its edge to the floor. The medics around were simply doing their best to ignore the kage's actions by immersing themselves in their work. Dante simply placed the kunai back in its place underneath his sleeve. Returning his attention back to the Uchiha, Dante placed a hand on the man's kneck near the freshly made wound. "So Uchiha, what do you say? Do you swear your loyalty...." he said coldly as he allowed a finger to creep slowly into the male's wound, digging into the flesh along the line he made. This was his way of branding what belonged to him.

As Soul laid strapped up to the table he felt the air touch his wound and it wasn't very peaceful. It burned and ached Souls body to the point where he started raging. Trying to break free. His failed attempt led to a minor shock. Soul bowed his head as he began to hear the Mizukage speak. As Soul began to think about it. He turned his sharingan off as he looked into the Mizukages eyes. Soul began to speak. "Make me the little leader of your team. And you got a deal"

Dante smirked once again, removing his finger from the wound. This man wished to lead, admirable. Dante wiped the blood on a nearby cloth. "Well, if you think you have what it takes to lead. Just know as a leader, more is expected of you and the consequences are much harsher for unsuccessful work." he said coldly. He walked away from the table and would whisper to one of the medics, "heal that wound but make sure the scar remains". The medic would do it immediately. Dante would then speak to all the workers of the lab. "Free him from the restraints, he is to come with me now." With that said and done, Dante would leave this underground area with Soul.

[Exit]

The burning of the Mizukages rubbing the wound wasn't pleasant but Soul wasn't to mad. It actually got his blood going because physical torture was the funnest kind. Soul heard the Mizukages word and he just nodded his head with a smirk. Soul got released from the table and he rubbed his wrist. The medical men healed up his scar and he walked out with his leader. He waved to the men as he walked out.

Exit.
