Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 23 The Night Is Very Long

Yesterday's situation has repeated itself.

Li Yao was tied to the torture bed once again, this time with a bandage around his neck to secure his head.

"Lord Hokage, I really don't know anything about Spirit Transformation Technique, and I don't know it either. I came from another world, you know that?"

"By the way, I know the future trajectory of this world, I know you have three disciples, and I also know that Uchiha Madara is not dead."

"I know all the secrets of this world. If you let me go, I can tell you everything."

To survive and avoid the torment of pain, Li Yao went all out and began to ramble incoherently.

He talked about everything, including time travelers, Naruto anime, the Sage of Six Paths, the Otsutsuki clan, and so on.

However, the Third Hokage remained unmoved, only pausing slightly when Li Yao said that Madara Uchiha was still alive.

But it was only a brief pause.

The Third Hokage knew that the Uchiha clan had long since died, and that the body had been brought back by the Second Hokage, Tobirama, personally, so it was impossible for them to still be alive.

Seeing that Li Yao continued to chatter on, the Third Generation simply smiled and asked a question that silenced Li Yao.

"Since you know all the secrets of the ninja world, then tell me the secret of the Spirit Transformation Technique. I only want to know this secret."

"..."

Li Yao was stunned. He couldn't give an answer. Even if he wanted to create a spiritification technique, he couldn't.

Ha ha!

The third generation sneered, then opened the toolbox, took out a long needle, and said, "I haven't even pierced that thumb from yesterday yet. I'll continue tonight."

"what!"

"Ah...ah..."

"Kill me! Kill me!"

Li Yao couldn't bear the pain at all and screamed wildly.

The three generations remained unmoved, inserting the thumb and then the little finger, until Li Yao fell into a coma.

In the instant he lost consciousness, a look of relief flashed in Li Yao's eyes.

It's good that he's unconscious!

No more suffering!

"Illusion - Darkness Technique"

The Third Hokage used the same trick again, seizing the moment when Li Yao was unconscious to cast another genjutsu, hoping to invade Li Yao's chakra. However, just like before, his genjutsu chakra failed to penetrate Li Yao's chakra once again.

The Third Hokage was not disappointed. He formed hand seals and unleashed a Water Release: Small Water Wave Technique, which poured directly onto Li Yao's head.

Stimulated by this, Li Yao woke up.

Whew... Uh!

Li Yao, who had woken up expecting things to be the same as yesterday, was suddenly stunned before he could even catch his breath.

The third generation of that demon is still around!

The intense fear lingered in Li Yao's bloodshot eyes as he twisted and turned frantically, hoping to escape this hellish place.

However, it was no use. The third generation picked up the long needle again, pressed down on his left middle finger, and then slowly and forcefully inserted it.

The familiar pain returned.

He still couldn't handle it.

"Ah...kill me!"

"Kill me!"

"kill!"

"Sha...ha...ha..."

That night was very long.

Li Yao felt that he had lived more than a lifetime.

He had lost count of how many times he had fainted.

In the end, all that was left of him was the faint, labored breathing of his breath.

The Third Hokage was like a robot, very patient, living up to his name as a ninja. He repeatedly tormented Li Yao into unconsciousness with intense pain, only to wake him up again and again to continue the torture.

"bump!"

Suddenly, Li Yao, who had been struggling with his body tense, slammed onto the torture bed like a piece of wood and fell silent.

The Third Generation glanced at Li Yao on the bed and found that he was unconscious, but his eyes were wide open and bloodshot.

Blood was flowing from his eyes and staining half of his face red around his eye bags.

Blood was flowing from his eyes even down his neck.

The third generation knew that Li Yao had reached his limit.

He shook his hand, put away his tools, and called in "Luan," the member of the secret service outside the door.

"Lord Hokage."

He barged in and witnessed the horrific scene on the bed. Even though he was used to seeing life and death, his heart couldn't help but shrink, his pupils trembled slightly, and a deep fear appeared in his eyes when he looked at the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage noticed this hint of fear and sighed, explaining, "This guy who possesses Kimura Yo has some very important secrets that could seriously endanger Konoha, which is why I had no choice but to take such measures."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I understand."

His expression hardened, and he immediately composed himself.

Anyone who poses a threat to Konoha is an enemy, and there should be no mercy or hesitation towards enemies.

Even the most cruel punishment is worthwhile if it can prevent Konoha from being harmed.

It must be said that the brainwashing effect of the Will of Fire was very well done.

"Um."

The Third Hokage nodded, quite satisfied with Ran's statement. This was indeed his most elite and trusted secret service team, and they had not betrayed his trust.

The third generation picked up the toolbox, glanced at Li Yao on the bed, and said, "Heal him, don't let him have any hidden injuries."

"Yes, Lord Hokage," Ran replied respectfully. His medical ninjutsu was not as good as that of Tsunade, the Third Hokage's disciple and the Princess of Konoha, but it was enough to treat physical injuries like Li Yao's.

"You've worked hard." The Third Generation patted Ran on the shoulder and then walked out of the interrogation room.

With the medical ninja Ran around, Li Yao's body will not suffer any hidden injuries.

Even if Li Yao comes back tomorrow night, he can still clearly feel the extreme pain in his body.

"However... this guy's willpower is quite strong!"

On his way home, the Third Generation sighed as he thought about how he had failed to cast illusions more than ten times that night.

This is difficult. I don't know when I'll be able to break through that guy's chakra.

……

the next day.

Li Yao woke up.

As before, when he woke up, he was not on the torture bed, but his limbs were chained to the wall, and he was lying on the cold floor.

This time, Li Yao didn't get up. After waking up, he remained motionless, his bloodshot eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought.

Apart from the swelling and pain in my eyes, I don't feel any other discomfort in my body.

The chaotic medical ninjutsu is very advanced.

Li Yao's physical injuries have now largely disappeared.

However, physical wounds heal easily, but psychological damage is not so easy to recover from.

Li Yao only regained some energy after the secret service delivered his first meal of the day.

He struggled to sit up, picked up the steaming bowl of noodles from the ground, and slowly began to eat.

Li Yao ate very slowly, but he ate everything cleanly.

He licked the chopsticks and bowl clean, so much so that even in the dim light of the interrogation room, the chopsticks and bowl could be seen gleaming.

After finishing his meal, Li Yao sat there blankly, holding his bowl, staring at the torture bed in the corner not far away, which looked like a demon.

Li Yao just held the bowl that he had licked until it shone and watched quietly.

This time, his body did not tremble at all.

It was as if the bed, which had made him tremble with fear and hide just yesterday, didn't exist.

But his eyes remained fixed on the bed that had caused him to faint from pain countless times.

a long time.

Clang!

Li Yao, who had been sitting blankly staring at the torture bed, suddenly smashed the large bowl in his hand, then picked up one of the gleaming shards and stabbed it hard into his temple.

This time, he did not hesitate at all.

"Certainly!"

At that very moment, in the left corner, the chaotic hand seals suddenly appeared, like a chameleon reverting to its original color.

The sharp shards of the bowl in Li Yao's hand stopped at the surface of his temple.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stab it down; a powerful force held his body firmly in place, preventing him from moving.
