Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 14 Prejudice is like a mountain, impossible to move no matter how hard you try (Seeking recommendation votes and monthly tickets!)

"...You old geezer, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

Kosaka was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, which, combined with the bloodstains on his face, made him look even more ferocious.

He seemed to be trying to intimidate the old man in front of him.

Those eyes, however, were still wandering around restlessly, taking in the layout of the room and, at the same time, the instruments of torture.

Barbed whips, meat hooks, branding irons, braziers...

"Phew!" Looking at those things, Kosaka breathed a sigh of relief, staring intently at the old man in front of him, and said in a chilling tone, "That brat actually thought he could pry my mouth open with you and these old relics?"

The anti-interrogation training of the Hidden Mist Village's Dark Division can be described as extremely cruel. He had experienced these common torture instruments countless times before, and with the determination to die, he could easily endure it for ten days or half a month.

However, in addition to the common instruments of torture, there was also a "bronze bull" that was about the size of a live ox, and an iron-cast humanoid bucket.

Kosaka couldn't see the purpose of these two items; at least on the surface, they didn't seem to have any deterrent effect.

However, Meiyu still did not answer his question, but instead opened the ninja tool bag on the wooden table and searched for Kosaka's personal belongings.

Kunai, shuriken, soldier's rations, some personal tools, and two bottles of medicine.

Mei Yu sniffed one of the bottles and immediately identified several herbs with anesthetic effects. However, she couldn't smell many other ingredients. It was clearly an anesthetic specially formulated by the Hidden Mist Village's Anbu.

In addition, he also detected the ingredient "coca leaf" in another bottle of medicine. This is a medicinal herb that can stimulate the central nervous system, reduce appetite, and relieve fatigue.

"Are these specially made external and internal injury medicines?" Mei Yu turned to look at Kosaka as if she were looking at a priceless treasure, and smiled, "It seems that you are also a ninja of a high rank in Kirigakure."

Kosaka's face twitched almost imperceptibly as he said, "Who exactly are you people? And that brat, why can't I sense his chakra...?"

Mei Yu had been observing him, and when she saw his face twitch, she nodded to herself.

This unconscious, subtle movement proves that he is truly wary of Lord Yun Chuan, and that this wariness is mixed with a fear of the unknown.

As long as you can still feel fear, it's manageable. What's most frightening is the kind of guy who's fearless of death and pain, who can be tortured to the point of being delirious without uttering a word.

Thinking of this, Meiyu walked up to Kosaka and said in a muffled voice, "I'm just an old guy who doesn't have many days left to live, who doesn't have the talent to become a ninja, and who wants to burn myself out before I die."

"As for why you can't sense Lord Yun Chuan's chakra..."

He paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Because he's just like us, someone you call someone who has no 'ninja talent' what they call someone."

There are no people with... ninja skills?

Upon hearing this, Kosaka paused for a moment, as if pondering what it meant to be "someone with absolutely no 'ninja talent'".

Gradually, he opened his eyes, which were blurred by blood scabs, and all he could see was blood.

Kosaka finally understood why his Hidden Mist Technique had failed to detect the brat's presence from beginning to end.

Even though the "solution" to the problem was so unbelievable to him, now he realized that there was only one possible conclusion.

"That brat isn't a ninja at all? He doesn't know any ninjutsu at all?!"

That's right! That's exactly it!

The "Hidden Mist Technique" is not a special ninjutsu that senses the enemy's physical form, but rather senses the enemy's location through the fluctuations of "different chakra".

But Yun Chuan didn't use any ninjutsu at all, and he didn't even refine his chakra. There was no chakra fluctuation from beginning to end!

In addition, the opponent's speed was no different from the Instantaneous Movement Technique, and might even exceed it slightly.

A special method that leaves no trace of their presence, and an assassination technique so bizarre it's almost unbelievable...

If he hadn't used the Hidden Mist Technique, things would have been better; he might have been able to use other ninjutsu to deal with the situation.

However, he cleverly chose the technique of concealing himself in the mist, which inadvertently provided the best environment for his opponent to assassinate him.

"Damn it! Damn it!! How could I lose to a brat who doesn't know any ninjutsu!!" Kosaka roared, his anger reaching its peak.

But while feeling angry, he was also genuinely horrified.

Is it possible to achieve that level of skill without using ninjutsu?

Really...

"Is that unbelievable?"

Mei Yu nodded and laughed, "You're right to think it's unbelievable; I think it's unbelievable too."

Even without learning those ninjutsu, it's incredible that they can still capture powerful ninjas alive.

But that person was such a miracle-creating, incredible person!

"whispering sound!"

Seeing Meiyu's smug expression, Kosaka gritted his teeth and his face darkened.

But soon, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, you think you've won?"

Kosaka's lips slowly curled into a sneer. "Those outdated torture devices are useless against me."

"I know," Mei Yu said with a smile.

"Don't even think about getting any information out of me. If you're so capable, just kill me!"

"I know," Mei Yu continued with a smile.

"What do you know?!" Kosaka roared, veins bulging on his forehead. "You know nothing!"

"Don't shout so loudly. This interrogation room is specially made so that no matter how loud you shout, no one outside can hear you."

Mei Yu shook her head, then laughed heartily, "I told you before, compared to you ninjas, I'm just an ordinary person with no talent whatsoever."

"Before I met Lord Yunchuan, I had seen too much suffering as a doctor who made a living by collecting herbs. I was almost killed by the ninjas of Amegakure as a spy."

"Therefore, in order to help Lord Yun Chuan, I consulted the methods of ordinary people."

As he spoke, the expression on his honest face gradually changed.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if shimmering with light, and he gradually became somewhat crazed.

"When they suspect you're a spy, you better actually are! So, pharmaceutical company, espionage, that's the path I chose."

"As for the method of slow slicing, it is a technique that I only recently learned from Lord Yun Chuan."

Mei Yu picked up a scalpel from the table beside her, disinfected it, and explained with her head down, "I heard that the highest level of Lingchi is a thousand cuts, but I really don't have that talent, so I can only make a maximum of one hundred and twenty-four cuts."

As he spoke, he squinted one eye and pointed the scalpel at Kosaka.

"Cut off the eyebrows, cut off the shoulders, cut off the chest, cut off the arms, cut off the elbows, cut off the thighs, cut off the calves, cut off..."

As the old man in front of him brandished a knife at his body, Kosaka felt an overwhelming sense of fear.

From the eyebrows to the shoulders, from the chest to the arms, from the elbows to the legs, and finally...

"Both hands".

Mei Yu paused abruptly, stopping the sharp blade in his hands, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot you don't have hands anymore."

"Ah, what a pity, we can't break the record."

Hearing his increasingly faint, almost delirious voice, Kosaka Otoko trembled and gradually couldn't bear it anymore.

"You, you bastard, you're just an ordinary person, a weakling like a pig or a dog..."

Kosaka's face twitched uncontrollably, and his body trembled involuntarily. His expression was somewhere between anger and extreme fear as he muttered, "You must be trying to trick me. You just want information, you must..."

"Haha, don't believe me? No problem, no problem."

Mei Yu laughed loudly, then narrowed her eyes and gradually stopped laughing. "Just like Lord Yun Chuan said, prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain that you can't move no matter how hard you try."

"Don't worry, you've prepared medication to prevent you from fainting."

After saying that, he picked up the medicine bottle next to him and said with a smile, "To thank you, I have plenty of time to play with you slowly."

"..."

"ah!!"

Amidst the desperate screams and wails, the candlelight in the entire room flickered and dimmed.

Meanwhile, in the guest room next door.

"...This story tells us that what prevents us from discovering and creating is merely our psychological barriers and the stubborn rocks in our minds."

Yun Chuan lay on the bed, his gentle voice like a lullaby by a cradle, looking down at Shi Yu who had just fallen asleep in his arms.

As if he had heard something, he suddenly smiled and whispered, "Sweet dreams."

After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
