Naruto: The Prince of Lust

Chapter 214

As stated, the questions were not meant to be answered correctly and the Nosekais asked the children to increase the voltage of the shock after each question was incorrectly answered. Despite the horrifying screams of the tortured human sitting not more than two feet from them, the Cold Group children would be chastised harshly if they expressed any form of conscience objection, asked moral questions, cried, or defied the authority figure of said command in any way. In stark contrast, the Hot Group was praised for the very same objections. Complete report on page 6.

Task: Midnight Climax.

The Nosekais took both Cold and Hot groups to the nearby brothel, Midnight Climax, where they were ordered to administer drugs to recently 'acquired' defiant and resistant prostitutes near their age to make them more compliant. The task was designed to mimic field decisions under deplorable and inhumane conditions. Samui(9) and the Cold Group were scolded or reprimanded at the slightest concern for the adolescent or teenage female's declining health or tearful pleas, while Atsui(8) and the Hot Group were commended and applauded regardless if they dosed the young prostitutes or not. Complete report on page 11.

Task: Facial Expression.

The Nosekais were curious to see if all the children in their study would make the same facial expressions as a response to the same stimulus. Rather than trusting the subjects to make the facial expression upon command, they decided to induce the expressions of pain, disgust, fear, sadness, and various other negative emotions from authentic actions. The young subjects would be made to submerge their entire arm inside buckets brimming with disgusting content such as feces, vomit, or roaches. They would receive electric shocks, or worst yet, given a puppy they would then have to behead with their bare hands.

Young as they were, it was unlikely that any of them had the arm strength to remove a skull from its spine, so when Samui(10) and the other children in Cold Group couldn't or wouldn't behead the innocent animal, they would be scolded and criticized tyrannically for their "failure," then made to watch as the Nosekais removed the head of the animal in front of them. Atsui(9) and the Hot Group were complimented and applauded whether they attempted to behead the animal or not; most did try. Complete report on page 18.

The Tasks beyond this summary are arranged in order of date performed. The remaining four unethical tasks are detailed at length on pages 2, 5, 14, and 21.

Conclusion:

What started as a method to aid traumatized children with speech impairments became something twisted and grotesque as only the worst of mankind is capable of. Not long after the Sandaime's heroic end and the Raikage's ceremonial cap changed heads, the Nosekais presented their study's findings to the new A-sama for continued military funding. Disgusted to learn what had transpired under his father's command, Yondaime-sama immediately halted the program.

Due to the Nosekai clan's substantial power, popularity, and influence within Kumogakure, they had not faced any legal ramifications over the considerable mental abuse of the orphans or their children. In order to keep Samui(11) and Atsui(10) away from their parent's notable field of influence, Yondaime-sama ordered Samui to be enrolled in the intelligence-gathering program of the military with an eventual major in seduction training while Atsui was enrolled in the Special Forces program with a focus on field command and operations.

Though Samui's beauty was acutely apparent at a young age and Atsui showed great confidence in himself as a leader, they both completely failed these programs within two years. As a direct result of their traumatic experiences, a quiet and reserved Samui(13) could not produce the necessary facial expressions, or even emotions, required to properly seduce and manipulate prospective targets. Atsui(12) was overconfident to the point of arrogance; overstating his skills and abilities, underestimating the complexity of a problem, and becoming ignorant of any need for self-improvement.

Stay updated through empire

Under Tsuyoi Dodai's recommendation, Samui(14) was enrolled in Special Forces, and though beginning behind all the students in the program, she unexpectedly thrived. To our excitement, she was a natural talent greater than all of her classmates, and in the following six years, she consistently advanced from academy student to that of J?nin. Atsui(13) rejected enrollment in intelligence gathering, viewing the recommendation as beneath him, and was relocated to the infantry forces. Though he's taken the J?nin's exam four times, he's failed every time and remains a Ch?nin.

Your Directive:

In the fifteen years after The Monster Study's conclusion, the siblings have improved to varying degrees, however, they continue to struggle mentally. While exceptionally talented, Samui does not speak more than to communicate only the most vital of instructions, often confusing her less than exemplary subordinates. Atsui's overconfidence is a detriment to himself and his teammates.

Mabui, you are my best Operations Manager, and to the benefit of our village, we function efficiently together. You are aware I do not want to reassign you, however, you have a background in psychological and behavioral science. In addition to your task of approving the funds for Kubikirib?ch?, you're in an opportune position to assist them. If you're able to help, Samui in particular, I will allow you to take the J?nin's exam and approve any assignment you desire.

Gratitude,

Yondaime Raikage, A.

Rolling up her Raikage's classified missive, Mabui is sickened, yet again, and near to tears. With a chakra-covered finger, she seals the report Dodai had given her in her elaborate storage clipboard before rubbing the excessive moisture from the corner of her sea-green eyes. This makes the third time she's read the report, and with it, her feelings of inadequacy have all but disappeared. At twenty-six, Mabui is a Ch?nin still hoping, like many in her rank, to become J?nin, while a twenty-five-year-old Samui had become J?nin when she was twenty. Beautiful, confident, talented, intelligent, younger…

'How could one person be so fortunate,' Mabui recalls thinking when they first met to take part in this mission. Part of her extinguished jealousy extended from the fact that this young beautiful J?nin worked closely with Dodai-san, the Raikage, and specifically, Darui-san. Traversing the tallest tower of their village for one thing or another, Mabui is often forced to hear how well Darui and Samui work together as well as hopes they might one day become an item.

Despite Darui's assurances, Mabui naturally couldn't help but feel inferior when compared to such a perfect kunoichi. In spite of Samui's established family, her beauty, and her popularity among the men in the village, the gorgeous blond's stoic and off-putting appearance has not earned her any friends among the kunoichi in the locker rooms. To learn it's only because no one understands what she's gone through brings up an incredible amount of guilt and empathy within Mabui.

'Little did I know,' she mentally chastises herself as she stares at her gray clipboard. 'The Monster Study… fucking awful!'

With her background in psychology, Mabui is acutely able to comprehend Samui's quiet, traumatized persona to a painful degree as well as the days-upon-years she must've suffered since then. She knows childhood trauma often result in severe and long-lasting effect, and if it remains unresolved, that emotional and psychological disturbance carries over into adulthood, keeping a person from making meaningful connections with others. To know Samui isn't truly capable of interacting with others to the standard of social convention disgusts Mabui to her core and Mabui vows to help her.
