Isamu watched as countless beast swarm through the windows of the tower. It would seem that all of them were carrying an item of such, but what were their purpose. Isamu was going to have to figure out what that purpose was, and in order to do that he was going to have to climb the tower.Normally, Isamu would simply use his Sand manipulation to quickly get to the designated location, but the sands didn't respond to him at the base of the tower. There must be some kind of chakra disruption protecting the tower.
Isamu walked through the door and took his first step up. Instantly, he had a sudden remembrance of how his father was killed by Sunagakure ANBU. Isamu was overcome with anger and remorse. He was just starting the academy when his father died, and remember saying goodbye to his father, for the last time. It was just a normal goodbye, he was even embarrassed to tell his father that he loved him. The departure ended with a hug, and his father telling him "Mind your grandfather while I'm a way. I'll return as soon as I can. Isamu wiped the tears away from his eyes as he continued up the stairs.
The next step, also brought a flashback of death to Isamu. The death of his guardian and teacher, his grand father. He taught Isamu to master his sand manipulation technique and put him on his current path as a shinobi. He also taught Isamu principles and morals. His grand father's death came as he graduated to Genin in Kirigakure. He died from an unknown illness, and Isamu celebrated by burying with his Sand manipulation sand burial technique. This event changed Isamu into a motivated shinobi who was focused on getting to the bottom of his father's death. Isamu remembered the pain of losing the only idol he had and he truly felt alone for the first time in his life.
As soon as Isamu took the next step he was transported into his mind eye. He was staring at a female Mist ANBU. It was Akira, the girl with the wolf mask. Isamu has always been bias towards ANBU due to his misconception that ANBU killed his father. She was going to help Isamu get to the bottom of it. She slid an orange envelop towards him as she said something behind her mask. "These are the reports you asked for. I hope you get the answers you are looking for." Isamu grabbed the envelop and ripped it open. He read the contents and looked up half expecting the masked ninja to have vanished, yet where there was once a mask, there was now a beautiful young women staring back at him. "If you are going to do this, than I am helping you." Isamu's responded with a smile.
Isamu's mind was teleported to another scene as his body advanced another step. It was a few days after the last memory and Isamu was speaking to Akira on their way to the first ANBU who was on patrol the day his father died. "I will get the information I need, regardless of the circumstances." Akira didn't say a word, her bright red hair simply reflected the light that shone through the forest and mist. Isamu has never liked anyone before, he simply used them as the tools they were. Akira was an exception, she has become close to Isamu and she begun to understand what motivated him. Perhaps, her helping him was a way for them to move past the obstacles between them. The little patrol hut stood at the back of a large tree trunk, almost invisible to those who didn't know to look for it. They approached it, to see their target, An old geezer, well pass his retirement age, named Krane hid behind a mask of a, you guessed it, a crane, was fast asleep. Isamu blamed this man, and those like him for allowing the death of a shinobi during their patrol. Seeing how serious the man took his job, Isamu was almost infuriated enough to end his life for him right now. Instead, he smacked the desk right beside where the man had been drooling moments before. Krane woke up with a startle and fell into the floor. "Whaaat..? Isamu got some relief out of that and it managed to lightened his mood a little. Akira spoke first, in a serious tone that told the man they meant business. "We have questions regarding case 107." What little emotion the man showed previously was gone. He straightened his self up and responded coldly. "That's classified information." Akira went to respond when Isamu interrupted her, he had no time for an honorableness shinobi to speak of honor. "Then let's make it unclassified." As Isamu spoke sand began to envelop Krane and within seconds his entire body was succumbed within a sand cocoon and the only thing left uncovered was his mouth. "Now, we'll ask again. If I don't like your answer, you won't like mine" Akira a little shocked at the turn of events spoke once again, her tone has obviously lost it's confidence and the fierceness it had previously. "We need to know the events that unfolded with case 107" There was a smile on the old man's lips. He had given up on life the moment Isamu had binded him within his own coffin. Finally greeting the death he had wanted for so many years, and he gets the chance to die with honor, a death he knew he didn't deserve. "I refu.. It was instant, Isamu crushed his head, along with every bone and organ in the man's body. Isamu had gave him mercy and an honorable death, two things that this man did not deserve. "This man.....could have been useful." She chose her words wisely, she always did. "That....was no man. I gave him far more than what he deserved."
Isamu was back to staring up the staircase. He couldn't understand what was going on. Each step flooded his mind with a recollection of his past. Each step seemed to be bringing him closer and closer to the present. these were memories that he had forgotten since waking up in Sunagakure. Would he remember what happen to Akira if he continued, did he even want to remember? Surely there was a reason why he forgot, Isamu just couldn't remember why that was. So he pushed on, each step flooding Isamu with emotions, and forgotten memories.
By the time he had reached the window he tried to climb through he had learn a lot about his self, his past self. Isamu had killed five innocent, horrible at their jobs, but innocent ANBU in the search for what happen with his father. He got his answers from the Mizukage, Renzo. His father was on a secret mission for Mist to return to Sunagakure when they found his body in the forest. He did not make it far from the village, which meant there was an information leak within the village to the organization that attacked him but they never proved who leaked the information. According to Renzo it was a missing-nin group called Snake. He was delivering an important package which was not found. Upon Isamu informing him that he had took care of the leak, Renzo responded coolly with an "I know" and dismissed him. However Akira stayed behind. Isamu later found out, after returning from the village that Renzo had bared a curse that transformed him. During his personal vendetta to kill the members of Snake, Renzo had succumb to his curse and killed Akira in cold blood. Apparently Renzo accepted his actions and was executed for them. Isamu also managed to kill the two twins of the Snake, the tails which was their code name. However, he came to realize that everyone that he got close to died and swore to withdraw his emotions to prevent this from happening again. He blamed his self, for if he had not given into the emotions of revenge and redemption he could have saved Akira from her untimely death. This also forced Isamu into a reckless assault against Snake, where he tracked them endlessly. This recklessness is what ended up getting him captured as he fell into one of their traps. Still he was able to get away. but he had to hide his self under the sands to avoid detection. That is where his memories begin to start clicking together to the present. He awoke, with no way to know how many days, moths, or years that has passed. He had to put his self in a deep sleep in order to survive without food or water. Thus was the journey of Isamu Sunaku and his change from a caring loyal shinobi, to the heartless mercenary he is now.
