Danzou’s Punishing Retraining
Torture Comes in Many Forms
By Hestia
[Warning: Manga Spoilers. Conflicts with the “Real Narutoverse”: Sai’s brother doesn’t die from illness but dies from torture inflicted on him when Danzou betrays him. Sai doesn’t know of this betrayal.]
Chapter 1: Danzou’s Punishing Retraining
Danzou was in a cold rage. He had been the head of ROOT for years, the top-secret organization inside of ANBU. Even after it had been banned and broken up, he’d continued it. ROOT was too important—for the sake of Konoha the Hokage could not be listened to. He had been angry for years at the direction in which Konoha’s ninja and the whole village was going. Konoha had to be destroyed for its own good—only after it was crushed could it be rebuilt as ROOT, rather as Danzou, wanted.
Danzou blamed his current anger on that damn demon foxboy, Naruto. Somehow he had corrupted one of his best agents in ROOT, the one they now called “Sai.” “Sai” was the best of his generation, the orphan he had personally raised from earliest childhood, the one he had shaped to be the perfect warrior with no feelings, no weaknesses, no emotions. “Sai” wanted to become Sai for real—one of those pathetic shinobis that ran around putting comrades before missions, making friends, taking lovers, and wasting energy and time on unneeded relationships that would render a ninja vulnerable. Sai had to be reclaimed, retrained—his acclamation to normal life had to stop. Sai even had Tsunade on his side, who was letting him replace Sasuke on that damn Team Kakashi.
Sai had always been Danzou’s favorite, unlike that loser whom Sai had called his brother. Danzou had betrayed him, allowing him to be taken and tortured to death by a black ops team from a rival village. It was necessary—he had been making Sai soft, weak, emotional. In addition, although the boys had been too young to know it, they were falling in love and both gay. They weren’t blood brothers. Danzou had seen what was happening—if he didn’t have one of them killed, he'd lose both of them to love. Once they became lovers, they’d be useless to ROOT. Sai had been chosen to live because he was the one with more talent.
Danzou had thought he’d crushed all those weak emotions that “Sai’s brother” had begun to awaken in him. He’d thought Sai was now permanently the perfect warrior with no stupid, weak emotions. Yet somehow Sai had developed feelings again, and he had betrayed ROOT, betrayed the training Danzou had given him. It was Naruto’s fault. Sai was in love with the foxboy—he didn’t know it of course since Danzou had kept everyone in ROOT as ignorant of emotions—and sex—as much as possible. But why else did the one they called Sai constantly compare his penis to Naruto’s—did he really think straight guys did that? He had done that with “his brother” too—one of the signs that Danzou needed to separate the boys before they began to experiment sexually with each other.
And Sasuke—Sai had been ordered to kill Sasuke, but he didn’t. He couldn’t kill Sasuke because Naruto loved him. But he’d made sure that Sasuke hadn’t come back to Konoha—and he’d taken Sasuke’s place on Team Kakashi. The fool seemed to think he could take Sasuke’s place in Naruto’s heart.
Danzou had monitored what happened with the new Team Kakashi—he’d been amused to find that Naruto was still denying he was gay. He flirted with that medical ninja Sakura and went on dates with her. He was a fool like Sai thinking he just wanted his friend Sasuke back. He didn’t even know it was his love he was trying to save. But in a way it worked to Danzou’s advantage—he had known that Naruto wouldn’t take Sai to his bed, no matter how much Sai managed to worm his way into Naruto’s heart. Sai had betrayed ROOT—he should have no love, no happiness in life. True warriors were beyond that anyway; they didn’t want any feelings or bonds that could be used to manipulate them. Sai needed to be retrained or broken.
Word that an elite ANBU team was close to capturing Kabuto, his secret ally with Orochimaru, had come to Danzou. It was time to get out of Konoha—he could always work for Konoha—for his vision of what Konoha needed--outside of the village. You could destroy a village from outside as well as within. Danzou had only Konoha’s best interests at heart—the corruption, the softness, the weakness that had destroyed the great tree of Leaf must be cut off, destroyed. Once the rotten branches were burned, Konoha could regrow from its roots, ROOT. Danzou had spent a long time having an emergency plan for when he needed to go into deep cover—to fake his death. But before he went, he would make sure Sai was punished for betraying him by not killing Sasuke.
Sai would have to choose between taking a role as Ibiki’s assistant torturer in training or having Danzou turn over his “evidence” of Naruto’s betrayal of Konoha. It would be easy to manipulate Sai; the one thing he cared about in life now was Naruto. But if he became a torturer, he’d never learn to love, never be able to make those bonds with others. Tsunade would be easily manipulated to let Sai have the position; Danzou knew all about her little brother's, Nawaki’s death, and the special role brothers played in her heart. She also had lived for years with a phobia about blood—Danzou could play her easily.
The position of an ANBU torturer was exactly what Sai needed to retrain him into being heartless, emotionless. And if he couldn’t become that, the position would be torture—for him. He would deserve it too: he had been shown the better way, Danzou’s way, ROOT’s way, and rejected it. If he didn’t see the correct way to live, he should die—and would when Konoha was cleansed of the fools that were making her weak. And until that day, Sai would suffer.
Nobody was friends with an ANBU torture expert—look at Ibiki. The man had no friends and hadn’t had sex in the last seven years except for those rare times when sexual torture was called for. Torturing prisoners with sex—by rape and other forms of sexual degradation and violation--was something rarely done, a last resort usually after physical torture alone didn’t work and there was little else to use to get a prisoner to crack. Danzou knew that the few times it had been done, it was done by Ibiki. After all he had had it all done to him once—he’d been sexually used in ways that would drive most people to suicide. His body was covered with scars, burns, and the marks of all kinds of torture, but his sex organs were pristine. The people who had tortured Ibiki evidently had enjoyed sexually using him and made sure to keep his sexual organs intact—weakness and folly, Danzou thought. They should have burned and shocked them, then cut them off a bit at a time. No wonder Ibiki had survived. When a man could still fuck, he still had a reason to live. It was ironic, however, that Ibiki never got to fuck anyone with those spared sexual organs except the prisoners he was torturing.
Danzou grinned—he wondered what Sai would do when he had to torture Kabuto—Kabuto wouldn’t crack under physical torture. They’d have to use psychological and sexual torture on him. Kabuto knew Sai was in ROOT. Would Sai go easy on Kabuto to try to cover up his role in ROOT? Danzou didn’t care—no matter whether Sai did his job of torturing correctly or plotted with ANBU’s captive, Kabuto, he would be learning coldness and the uselessness--no the folly and senseless weakness--of soft emotions. Sai would either die at Konoha’s hands, his role in ROOT after it had been banned by the Hokage revealed, or he would find his way to those that shared Danzou’s vision of how to reform Konoha—by blood and the sword. Either way there would plenty of torture in Sai’s life.
