Uchiha's personal opinion

"...The prisoners are all being held in good custody."

Hyuga Shuhiro was taken aback for a moment, then immediately replied.

"Make arrangements, I need to interrogate them."

"Uchiha Tokumitsu gave the order."

"As ordered!"

Hyuga Shuhiro immediately arranged for several prisoners to be brought out of the prison and gave his office to Uchiha Tokumitsu. After the prisoners were brought in, he carefully closed the door and left, leaving only three Uchiha Jonin present to serve as jurors.

After a long absence, of the three captured Kirigakure bloodline ninjas, only the spineless Hozuki Hyakusawa looked slightly better; the other two Kaguya ninjas were already lifeless.

For some reason, Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly sensed that Hozuki Hakutaku was acting strangely.

Although his eyes still held that fearful look and his face was full of fawning smiles, Uchiha Tokumitsu still felt that something was wrong.

According to Hyuga Shuhiro's advance warning, the conditions at the Uzushiogakure garrison camp were limited, and the temporary prison environment was relatively harsh. The three Kirigakure prisoners might not be in good physical condition, but Hozuki Hyakutaku, a secret technique ninja whose physical abilities were inferior to Kaguya's, was noticeably in much better health.

Moreover, even though his entire body was tightly bound by chakra sealing ropes, and even Kaguya's body had deep bruises, the skin where Hozuki Hyakutaku's sealing ropes were bound was still fair and tender.

"...How are you doing?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly realized that he actually had no interrogation experience. After hesitating for a moment, he casually asked a question.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Deguang. Everything is fine, it's just that it's been so long since I've been able to see your face..."

"Shut up!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu angrily interrupted Hozuki Hyakutaku's flattering words.

"Take these two away and interrogate them thoroughly!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu pointed at the two Kaguya ninjas and spoke to the Jonin of his clan beside him.

"As ordered!"

Three Uchiha Jonin immediately stepped forward and swiftly lifted the two Kaguya ninjas out the door.

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't say what he wanted to extract from Kaguya, the Uchiha Jonin didn't care. It was just a matter of dragging Kaguya aside and beating her up; whether they could get any information out of her was irrelevant.

Hozuki Hyakusawa's face showed even greater fear.

"...Chunin Hyakusawa, you don't want to die, do you?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu sat high above, looking down at Hozuki Hyakusawa, who was bound like a maggot.

"Lord Deguang, whatever you ask, I will do my utmost to serve you! Please spare my life!"

"Hozuki Hyakusawa shouted urgently."

"Is that so? Are you willing to offer your loyalty?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu leaned forward slowly, looking directly at Hozuki Hyakusawa, and said in a very gentle tone, "Even if it means skinning, pulling out tendons, and breaking bones and marrow?"

"Of course, of course, Lord Deguang's orders are my mission!"

Hozuki Hyakusawa still looked terrified.

"Would it be alright if I let you sneak back into the Hidden Mist Village and become my spy?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu stood up and slowly walked behind Hozuki Hyakutsu.

"Lord Deguang! If I return to Kirigakure, I will surely be killed! Please allow me to follow you! I will be absolutely loyal to you!"

"Hozuki Hyakusawa said in a trembling voice."

"is it?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu, seemingly unsure of what to do, simply took a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and held it in his hand. He then crouched down, the kunai's blade lightly grazing Hozuki Hyakusawa's heel.

Although his skin wasn't broken, Hozuki Hyakusawa's body still trembled uncontrollably.

"Zla—"

Uchiha Tokumitsu swung his kunai and severed the chakra sealing rope on Hozuki Hyakutsuke's leg.

"Get up!"

Yes! Yes!!

Hozuki Momozawa's voice was filled with surprise.

Hozuki Hyakutsawa, who was lying on the ground, first bent his knees and stretched forward, then rolled over with the support of his legs. He then struggled to sit up on his back, turning into a half-kneeling position, and looked pitifully at Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"Your Majesty!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said coldly.

After being bound and having his chakra sealed for so long, he was still able to get up on his own... Even for a Jonin skilled in taijutsu, it's rare to see someone do something like that.

"what?!"

Hozuki Hyakusawa was taken aback, but dared not say anything, and immediately changed from half-kneeling to kneeling on both knees.

Uchiha Tokumitsu once again circled around to behind Hozuki Hyakutaku.

Then, he gently placed his left hand on the back of Hozuki Hyakusawa's head.

Purple flames erupted, forming a tight band around Hozuki Hyakusawa's head.

"I ask, you answer; if it takes more than three seconds, you're dead, understand?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said gently.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Hozuki Hyakutsawa's body trembled like a leaf.

"What's your name?"

"Hozuki Hyakusawa!"

Where do you live?

"The Southern District of the Hidden Mist Clan..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu asked casually, without any clear direction.

Hozuki Momozawa answered quickly and urgently.

Uchiha Tokumitsu repeated the question several times, scrambling the order, and Hozuki Hyakutaku gave the exact same answer each time.

How is your father's health?

"Father is in good health!"

"How is Lord Madara's health?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly asked a question.

"Lord Ban is old..."

"Hozuki Hyakusawa" came out of his mouth, but he stopped halfway through the sentence, and his trembling body stiffened.

"Go on, Lord Madara, how is your health? Are you too old to walk anymore?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu asked calmly.

"Lord Deguang, did I say something wrong?"

"What do you think?"

The flames of the Flame Release technique then transformed into loops that quietly bound Hozuki Hyakusawa's body.

"They actually found out!"

'Hozuki Hyakusawa's' voice became comical and shrill.

His neck, as if unrestricted by bones, slowly turned 180 degrees, and he looked at Uchiha Tokumitsu with a strange grin.

"It's really ugly... Doesn't it show its true form even like this?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone remained very gentle, as if he were casually chatting with a friend.

"Hehe! As expected of the junior that Lord Madara values ​​most!"

'Hozuki Hyakusawa' laughed strangely. His legs, which were no longer bound by the sealing rope, lost their flesh color and became a pale white, as if they had been painted with cheap paint.

The pupils of the eyes also turned grayish-white.

How did you find me?

"Hozuki Hyakusawa asked in a shrill voice, without a trace of worry on his face."

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu gazed at the monster before him with great interest: "What should I call you? Hyakuzawa? Or... White Zetsu?"

"you!"

The expression on the face of 'Hozuki Hyakusawa,' also known as White Zetsu, who had his identity exposed by Uchiha Tokumitsu, was no longer that of a comical grin, but instead revealed an uncontrollable look of horror.

"Lord Madara has told me everything, what are your plans?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said casually.

Since they're already completely locked up by the sealing ropes and the Flame Release circle, there's no worry about the White Zetsu escaping. They might as well blow up some trash and see if they get anything.

"Whee!"

The look of horror on White Zetsu's face faded, replaced by a strange grin as he stared intently at Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"It seems your resistance to illusion magic is indeed quite good..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's Sharingan was spinning rapidly.

"If you don't want to talk, then you can go now. Remember to save a spot for Old Man Spot at Yomotsu Hirasaka..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu casually formed a Tiger Hand Seal, "Oh... I forgot you were originally a desecrated dead thing, unable to enter the Pure Land!"

"you……"

White Zetsu's face was filled with rage, his mouth gaping open to reveal sharp teeth.

"boom!"

The Flame Release headband on White Zetsu's head transformed into two cones, piercing through White Zetsu's skull.
