The Room
When Shhirubā woke up he was alone in a dimly lit room. There were no windows and the door was not readily apparent. There seemed to be a desk of sorts protruding from the concrete wall. He noted that his tool kit and kunai holster had been taken, his clothes remained the same. His long sleeved, balck, sweater; thigh length, dark green shorts, and grey sandals hadn’t been changed, and his hair remained tied back as well, reaching midway down his back.
He pulled up both of his sleeves, he found exactly what he hoped. On his forearms were scrolls; the one on his left arm contained 20 kunai and the one on his right arm held 45 shuriken. Reaching up to the cord that held his hair back, he followed the obscured ends of this cord into the thick stands of his hair, he had attached another scroll and hidden it in his hair with the cord it contained the chisa katana Orochimaru had given him for their kenjutsu practice. He knew he was still armed which is the only comfort he needed now, that settled he took the time to thoroughly examine the room.
The cot he’d woken up on was attached to the wall by four beams of metal, two at either end of the bed, bolted in with iron rods. He checked the panels of wood under the bed for weakness, managing to find one he pried it up with a summoned kunai from the scroll. There was some pipage and wires underneath. He decided that it would be useless to try pulling up more planks and cut through the metal and dangerous to cut the wires, instead he pulled the scroll containing his sword from his hair, the cord coming with it causing his hair to fall around his face.
He adhered the scroll to the underside of the panel, doing his best to put it back in an exact way that would still let him pull it out later. Should his first escape fail, which was more than certainly going to be the case, his captors would likely search him and, hopefully, put him back in this room. Better risk losing the gift, than not have a potential weapon later. That settled he turned his attention to the desk, stashing the kunai he’d pulled into a hidden pocket of his inner sleeve, he found a number of decently sized books on the desk. Oddly they seemed almost tailored for him, they were books on water style nature transformation jutsu, earth style nature transformation jutsu, and yin release?
With no real alternative for the time being, he settled on the bed and started reading. He read for what he figured had been an hour, finishing seven of the fifteen books, when he finally heard footsteps approaching his room. When he estimated them to be roughly twenty steps away he got off of the cot and walked to the wall, doing his best to time his steps with the other person’s, flattening himself against it.
The steps stopped on the other side of the wall, and for a moment nothing happened, then “Earth Style: Wall Removal.” The entire wall started to sink down into the earth, Silver recognized that an ambush wasn’t an option at this rate so instead he got as far from the wall as he could. A male voice started to speak as the top of the person’s head began to appear over the wall. “I’ve brought your foo-” that's as far as the apparently masked man got with his sentence before Silver charged at the sinking wall, using chakra to run up it and enhance his strength. He delivered a kick to the side of the man’s head with enough force to send them tumbling back into the opposite wall for support, dropping the tray of basic food. “Wha- Why you little shit, I’ll-” again Silver cut him off only this time it was by throwing the kunai at his throat.
The older shinobi dodged the kunai almost with contempt, the boy’s chakra enhanced fist however found its mark in his gut. The young shinobi’s blow was a far cry from Tsunade’s, but it was enough to knock the wind from the man and leave him prone to the next kick delivered again to his head. This one managed to knock him unconscious. Silver jumped up and pulled his kunai from the wall, doing a quick search of the man he didn’t find anything. Picking up some of the food still on the tray, he ate quickly then made his way quietly through the dark halls of this unknown base.
