I AM THE BEAST.

INTERNAL-VILLAGE AFFAIRS

'How's the interrogation going?' asked Damashi, as a man came out of a room.

'He's not talking.' said Otobi shaking his head. 'I've already called for Toyiko sir.'

'Good.' said Damashi nodding approvingly. 'We need to know why that man attempted to kill my daughter.'

They were in a building with gray walls and few windows. The Interrogation room was one of the most dreaded places in the village. Most people who ever visited it, always came back different. Toyiko Asama was the leader of the Interrogation group. He specialized in mind Gijutsu techniques.

The exit doors swung open, Hiroto and Toyiko came walking in. Toyiko was in his fifties, he was completely bald and was wearing a Black coat that fell to his sandals.

'Good afternoon Osazu.' said Toyiko bowing his head.

'Hey Damashi.' said Hiroto, punching Damashi playfully on the shoulder. Toyiko stared in disbelief.

'How's the training going?' asked Damashi.

'The boy is really upset.' said Hiroto sighing.

'I don't understand how he still got defeated by his brother, even when he was using the beast Konjou.' said Damashi.

'His brother was able to sync his Konjou with his own beast, allowing him to be five times stronger than he normally should be.' said Hiroto. 'As for Ken, he totally forgot himself and fell to the power of his beast. It was his first time and he had no experience.'

'I see.' said Damashi. 'What are you waiting for Toyiko!?'

'Sorry my lord!' said Toyiko, jumping. He had been listening to their conversation, but didn't understand a thing. 

The three men walked into the interrogation room, with Toyiko leading the way. The same man that had attacked them during the birthday festival sat on a chair, his hands were in chains behind him. He looked up when he heard them coming in, he smiled.

'What are you trying to do now?' asked the rogue man.

'Get you to talk.' said Toyiko. He placed his hand on the rogue's head.

'What-' the rogue's eyes became blank, he looked dead.

Toyiko closed his eyes, he raised his other hand extending only his middle and index fingers.

After fifteen minutes, Toyoki opened his eyes. He turned to the other men.

'Rayaki sent him!' he said.

None of the men looked surprised. Hiroto raised his hand to his hair, his eyes on the floor. Damashi nodded at Toyoki.

'He thought taking out your daughter would be a means of revenge.'

The rogue ninja had woken up. He was smiling evilly.

'Why did he send you?' asked Damashi. 'The Senkai only have Yajuu in their group. He could have sent someone really powerful.'

'Because I was the perfect spy.' said the man.'Or I am the perfect spy.'

The man hit the floor with his foot. The ground shook violently and jagged  rocks broke out of the ground, obstructing him from view. 

'What is he doing?' yelled Toyiko shielding his face.

'Trying to get away!' said Hiroto. He threw his fist straight into the rock, shattering it to a thousand pieces. The man was already gone. A huge hole on the wall, behind the chair he had been sitting on.

'Stay here Damashi!' said Hiroto. He jumped out through the hole.

'Where the hell could he have gone to?' said Hiroto standing on the roof of the interrogation building. He knew the man wasn't stupid enough to flee through roof tops, He looked down at the streets, that was when he saw him. The man was running down a narrow street, pushing people out of his way.
