Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 122 continues

There is no moon tonight, and no lights.

The inside of the Black Iron Giant Eagle was pitch black, but this did not affect Li Yao's perception.

The Black Iron Giant Eagle was originally woven from chains of chakra, and the married woman Ayase was also very clean. The form perceived by the chakra was her true physical form.

That magnificent full moon was too obvious.

At this point, Ayase, the married woman, had already woken up; to be precise, she hadn't slept for very long.

Although the flight of the Black Iron Giant Eagle was relatively stable, it was still somewhat bumpy, requiring the vigilance instincts developed by ninjas.

She wouldn't have been able to fall asleep if she hadn't been so tired beforehand.

Sarutobi Tenjuro also woke up early. Neither of them spoke. The Vajra Lock and Black Iron Chains that Li Yao had placed on them were very strong, firmly binding and fixing their generated chakra. Neither of them showed any intention of struggling to escape.

"Tell me, what is the art of spiritification?"

Li Yao picked up the married woman Ayase and sat her down together. After roughly securing her position, he asked about Sarutobi Tensuke's spirit transformation technique.

He had always been curious about what kind of ninjutsu the Spirit Transformation Technique was, and why it had driven the Third Hokage so crazy.

As the name suggests, the Spirit Transformation Technique is a ninjutsu related to the soul.

Otherwise, the Third Generation wouldn't have been so certain that his soul wasn't Kimura Yo, but belonged to someone else.

However, he was unclear about the specific effects of the Spirit Transformation Technique and was very curious.

Hopefully, Sarutobi Tenjuro will be sensible and not put him in a difficult position.

"Li Yao...that damn bastard!!"

In the darkness, Sarutobi Tenju could not see his wife clearly, but judging from her voice and her blurry outline, she must have been firmly held in place by Li Yao once again and was unable to move.

"However... Li Yao doesn't know about the Spirit Transformation Technique???"

A big question mark appeared in Sarutobi Tenjuro's mind.

That's impossible!

Li Yao is capable of possessing other people's bodies, so it's impossible that he doesn't know what the Spirit Transformation Technique is.

But... Li Yao's tone didn't sound fake.

Sarutobi Tenjuro was somewhat confused, so he chose not to answer Li Yao's question, regardless of whether Li Yao truly didn't know or was pretending not to know.

Seeing that Sarutobi Tenjuro remained silent, Li Yao clapped his hands and began to applaud.

Then the music started, and then the dancing began.

Li Yao has been tormented and studied for six years since he transmigrated. Now that he's finally free, shouldn't he be allowed to enjoy himself?

Isn't the joy of time travel precisely the ability to be lawless?

Huff... Huff... Sarutobi Tenjuro's breathing became heavy again without him realizing it.

However, when he tried to fake his death, Li Yao wouldn't allow it.

"What is the art of spiritual transformation? Tell me, or I'll cut off your husband's third leg."

Li Yao placed his hands on the shoulders of the married woman Ayase, leaned close to her ear, and whispered chilling words in a gentle tone.

Sarutobi Ayase, whose hands were bound by black iron chains and suspended in mid-air, was startled upon hearing this, but before she could say anything, Sarutobi Tenjuro asked Li Yao first, "You really don't know about the Spirit Transformation Technique?"

Li Yao doesn't know about the art of spirit transformation?

Sarutobi Ayase instantly realized what was happening, her heart skipped a beat, and then she shut her mouth and remained silent.

If this is true, it's crucial intelligence, and Li Yao absolutely cannot know the effects of the Spirit Transformation Technique.

"What great teamwork!"

"They truly are a perfect couple!"

Seeing this, Li Yao sighed, then smiled and deliberately said, "It seems that the Spirit Transformation Technique is not only a very powerful soul ninjutsu, but also has some special abilities."

What special ability?

Li Yao didn't know, but it was clear that the couple didn't want him to know anything about the Spirit Transformation Technique, so they remained silent.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter."

With a thought, Li Yao sent a black iron chain, as thin as a hair, into Sarutobi Tensuke's small leg. He meant what he said.

"hiss!"

A faint tearing sound suddenly rang out, the sound was very soft.

When a strong smell of blood reached them, the married woman Ayase's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately turned around and lunged at Li Yao, intending to bite him to death.

However, all efforts were in vain. Since Li Yao had relinquished control of her body, he naturally had a countermeasure.

Ayase, a married woman whose hands, feet, and waist were all chained with black iron chains, could only turn her head and could do nothing else.

"A real man!"

"Unfortunately, that won't be the case anymore!"

Li Yao admired Sarutobi Tenju's endurance. He could endure the pain of being cut open and he didn't utter a sound. He was truly a ninja of the Anbu and a real man.

But what's the use of that?

Li Yao didn't intend to kill him, but he also didn't intend to let him return to Konoha unharmed.

"So... what is the art of spiritification?"

Li Yao's gentle voice rang out again, and Sarutobi Ayase trembled. Realizing that if she didn't speak up, her husband might lose another leg, she chose to... bite off her tongue again.

Li Yao just watched, not intending to help stop the bleeding or treat the bleeding this time, since he wouldn't die anyway.

Sarutobi Tenjuchi remained silent. He was furious, but he also wished that Li Yao would continue to cut off his other legs. As long as he bled to death, his wife would have a chance to live. He had already resigned himself to death.

Seeing the couple's silence, Li Yao witnessed the sense of duty and attitude of ninjas for the first time. They were indeed some abnormal people with strong mental fortitude.

Even a female ninja like Ayase, a married woman, can quickly adapt to the greatest humiliation a woman can suffer, suppressing her anger, remaining calm, and not revealing a single piece of information that Li Yao wants to know.

Death, on the contrary, is a liberation.

For someone who is not afraid of death, this level of physical and psychological torture is indeed not enough.

Unfortunately, Li Yao didn't have enough time, and there weren't many props he could borrow, so some of his bizarre ideas couldn't be realized.

"Fine, let's leave it at that."

"Once he returns to Konoha, he'll have plenty of time to slowly unleash his twisted ideas."

one day.

Two days.

On the open sea, five thousand meters in the air, Li Yao focused solely on one thing.

Sarutobi Tensuke and his wife have resigned themselves to their fate.

Day three.

morning.

The third generation sat in his office, smoking a pipe, his brow furrowed with worry, a strong sense of unease flickering in his eyes.

Bang... The door opened, and Hokage's secretary, Chiba Megumi, walked in wearing a short skirt and swaying her long legs in black stockings.

Before the sexy secretary could turn around and close the door, the Third Generation impatiently asked, "Emi, is there any news from Tenshu?"

"Not yet." Hokage's secretary, Chiba Megumi, shook her head, turned around and closed the door. She went behind the Third Hokage, picked up his head and buried it in her broad chest, and gently comforted him, "Don't worry, Tenjuro and Ayase are both powerful elite Jonin, nothing will happen to them."
