Aftermath Finale: Information Aplenty
There was one thing on your mind when you saw Orochimaru the first time. "Did he cut out his tongue?"
The Snake Sanin nodded yes and using Konoha sign language, he said. "Yes, it was the only way to be able to speak freely without Danzo knowing."
"That's morbid." You stated.
"I can regrow it." Orochimaru signed as he smiled.
The other man in the room, a huge man with long spiky white hair, and sandals clapped his hands. "Orochimaru, stop, your scaring the kid."
Orochimaru was a bit unsettling, but that was mostly because his tongue was still leaking blood on the table.
Kakashi-Sensei shared a similar feeling of uneasiness. "Orochimaru, we have our proof to help you. Tell him about the hospital."
Lord Hokage came out from the shadows. "Thank you, Kakashi." He looked at the two sanin and than to you. "Could you please tell me about the ninja that was in the hospital, Shiro."
You nodded. "He was my height and my age, wearing a rabbit mask and standard anbu equipment, but it was tailor-made for a child. He had a standard Kunai, but no other weaponry… But the strangest thing about him was his heart. He was in a state of cardiac arrest, his heart was beating well above the healthy average but somehow was moving despite it." You paused. "He called himself a tool, was easily replaceable. The guard brought in village security, one of your ANBU I think, and took him away after I got Neji."
Lord Hokage narrowed his eyes. "There was no ANBU assigned to the hospital for guard duty, none that I signed off on."
Kakashi-Sensei nodded. "Did you get a look at his chakra coils?" He asked.
"No… his coils and systems were completely fine. I didn't see anything wrong." You stated.
"I told you Minato… He cleans up his failures." Orochimaru stated.
"Shiro." Lord Hokage asked. "Tell me about his heart… the details of it."
You racked your mind and focused back onto the child's heart… and remembered something on it. "Yes… There was a marking I think… some Marking over his heart."
"Could you draw it?" The other Sanin asked, sliding over a brush, ink, and paper.
You tried your best to recreate it. "Here."
Accuracy:
1D100 => 93
Minato compared it to the bloody seal on Orochimaru's tongue. "A near match." He stated. "We have all we need." He paused and looked at Orochimaru. "it seems you were right Orochimaru… a seal did force you to do some of your deplorable action with the pain of death." He paused. "This does not absolve you of your… other experiments. We have an ethics board for a reason."
Orochimaru nodded and signed. "I'm well aware. But science sometimes requires a lack of ethics… and who are you to judge ethics when you killed half an army?"
Minato sighed. "Fair enough." He looked to Kakashi-Sensei. "Get him back to his uncle, and grab Gai while you're at it… We have a council to purge."
"Should I have heard that?" You asked.
Minato nodded. "It won't matter, it will be a public spectacle in a few hours."
"And what about Root?" Jiraya asked.
Orochimaru knocked on the table. "I will handle that."
Minato folded his arms.
"Nonlethally of course." Orochimaru signed.
"Kakashi." Minato gave a silent order with his glare.
Your world went black as you felt something trap you.

You awoke with a blistering headache.
"Ow."
