Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The leader shook his head: "I've told you everything I can."

Ilando sneered, "You're really stubborn. You're a prisoner of Konoha now. If you tell me now, you'll suffer less."

Ilando moved the oil lamp to his chest, where he could clearly see the bloodstains and what appeared to be charred marks.

The flame of the oil lamp was very close to his chest, constantly scorching the wound.

When the bleeding area is burned by the flame, the blood quickly congeals and dries, but the surrounding flesh turns even redder.

But he still gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

In the dim light, you could see large beads of sweat on his forehead.

Ilando took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands: "Look at you, you were hot and didn't even tell me. If outsiders found out, they'd say I was abusing prisoners."

After saying that, she grabbed his clothes with pliers and tore them to shreds, leaving only a few scraps of cloth to cover him.

"Wind Release: Fine Wind Blade!"

Ilando quickly formed hand seals and then blew out a gentle breeze.

But when the wind blew onto the leader, it instantly cut countless tiny wounds on his body!

It wasn't deep, just a minor cut, but it still looked quite alarming, with blood seeping from all over its body.

Even now, he could no longer hold back and let out a painful groan, his body convulsing as if he had been electrocuted.

Qu Feng wasn't particularly bothered by this kind of scene; he'd seen far more gruesome things before, so this was just a small fry.

"I know you're hot, so I'm blowing some air on you. You should feel much cooler now."

"I won't tell you, just kill me."

Upon hearing this, Ilando made a regretful expression: "You may not know, but as soon as we learned that you were a ninja from Amegakure, we had already sent troops into the Land of Rain. After all, a mere small country dared to invade Konoha, and even destroying it a few times wouldn't be enough to quell our anger!"

Upon hearing Ilando's words, the leader looked up at Ilando, a very slight smile appearing on his face: "You're just asking for death."

"So, Amegakure is stronger than Konoha?"

But after that, he fell silent again.

Ilando has interrogated many prisoners, but he's never seen one like him before.

Even though he has a good temper, he's bound to be somewhat angry right now.

"You're quite stubborn, then I'll let you have a good time."

Then Ilando bit his finger and pressed it to the ground.

The leader initially thought it was some powerful spirit using this to intimidate him and force him into submission.

But it seems like nothing happened.

The room was illuminated only by an oil lamp in Ilando's hand; the rest of the room was pitch black.

However, Qu Feng sensed that many objects were moving towards the leader's direction.

At that moment, a rustling sound came from inside the room, like something crawling.

Not long after, the bound leader felt something biting his foot.

And it was still climbing up his body.

"How was it? Did you feel it?"

"What is this?! Damn it! What is this?!"

The leader kept twisting his body, trying to wriggle these unknown things away.

But they hold on very tightly, and such slight movements are not enough to shake them off.

Ilando casually picked one up and placed it on the oil lamp to light it. It was an orange-red ant with very small but sharp teeth.

"These are ants I bred. Their neurotoxins can multiply the pain you feel in your body."

As he spoke, swarms of ants crawled onto the leader's chest, tearing at the opening that had just been cut by the wind blades and releasing venom with their stingers.

The excruciating pain finally made the leader roar, "Damn it! Kill me! Kill me!"

Since yesterday, his body has been covered in countless wounds; there is not a single patch of intact skin, and blood is flowing from every inch of it.

But these pains were bearable to him. However, when the ants' venom was amplified, it felt as if countless people were hacking at him with knives, constantly piercing his body!

This pain was even more unbearable than killing him!

Ilando is confident in his use of Venom and it will not cause his death.

Why suffer such torment? Just tell me everything.

Despite enduring such pain, he remained remarkably stubborn, which impressed even Qu Feng. Few prisoners could withstand such torture without uttering a single word.

"Lord Hanzo has shown me great kindness! I could never betray him!"

Painful screams echoed throughout the torture chamber, but no other sound came out.

Qu Feng shook his head at this. It wasn't that Ilando's interrogation skills were inadequate; under such a combination of soft and hard tactics, any normal person would lose their temper.

Unfortunately, this person's will was far too strong.

I was thinking of sparing his life to use him for a while, but now it seems I have no choice but to ask the chieftain of the mountain clan for help.

"Alright, Ilando, take back your ants."

"Lord Hokage, shall we stop the torture?"

"There's no need to waste time on such a tough nut to crack. We have plenty of other methods. Sometimes, the dead are easier to deal with."

Upon hearing Tokifuru's voice, the leader roared, "You're the Hokage! I'm telling you, you can't defeat Amegakure! We, Amegakure, will surely rise to power!"

Qu Feng lit a flame in his hand, the firelight illuminating his face.

He walked up to the leader, smiled, and said, "If Amegakure's rise is based on Konoha as a stepping stone, then I can guarantee that it will never rise."

Chapter 361 Obtaining Intelligence

He walked up to the leader, smiled, and said, "If the rise of the Land of Rain is to use Konoha as a stepping stone, then I can guarantee that it will never rise."

Then a crystal spike materialized in his hand and he plunged it into his heart.

After a few futile struggles, the Kage-level ninja leader breathed his last.

His head drooped limply.

"Go quickly and inform the Mountain Clan, and have their chief come to the interrogation department to see me."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

After Ilando and Touko left the interrogation room, they instructed their assistant outside the door to go to the Yamanaka clan.

Not long after, he returned with a middle-aged man.

"Hokage-sama."

Qu Feng nodded: "Chief of the Mountain Clan, it's been a while since we last met. I'm sure he's told you everything that happened."

"I understand, and it can be carried out at any time."

Hearing Yamanaka's words, Toru finally smiled: "He just died not long ago, go quickly."

Then he said to Ilando, "You should come along too and assist the mountain chief."

"Yes."

Yamanaka En is the head of Konoha's intelligence department, while Morino Irando is in the torture department; they are at the same level in terms of position.

We've collaborated many times before, so we have some understanding of each other.

After a brief exchange, the two went directly into the interrogation room, with an assistant standing guard outside to prevent any sudden disturbances.

Qu Feng returned to Ilando's office, waiting for Yamanaka to successfully obtain the intelligence.

Time passed quickly, and after about an hour, Qu Feng heard the sound of the torture chamber door being opened.

Seeing that Qu Feng was not outside the door, the two entered the office.

"So, any news?"

Yamanaka En's expression was somewhat solemn, and he stammered, "M-Master, I did indeed obtain some of his memories about Amegakure from his mind."

Qu Feng noticed the details on his face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the intelligence? Tell me about it."

Yamanaka Haruka collected his thoughts and then said, "This ninja was a subordinate of Hanzo of Amegakure, but because he failed to carry out Hanzo's orders and accidentally stumbled upon Hanzo's secret, he was sent to Konoha to attack."

Upon hearing this, Toru nodded. To put it bluntly, he had been demoted. He was originally a trusted confidant, but because he did not follow Hanzo's wishes and learned things he shouldn't have, he was sent to Konoha to die.

"Please explain in detail."

Yamanaka bowed after hearing this: "Hanzo ordered him to capture children with chakra or novice ninjas in the Land of Rain, but did not specify their purpose."

"He had a daughter who happened to have the talent of a ninja. Perhaps out of compassion, he refused Hanzo's order."

"But it's nothing. Hanzo didn't criticize him too harshly. He just said a few words. But when he went to Amegakure's base to find someone, he accidentally entered a secret room."

"He saw many children suddenly turn into red fruits the size of fingernails, and a woman's voice could be heard coming from inside. He immediately stumbled and ran out, only to encounter Hanzo who was about to go in."

Hearing this, Qu Feng roughly knew what was going to happen next. He could only say that this person was really unlucky. He should have been living a peaceful life, but he died tragically in a foreign land because he stumbled upon someone else's secret.

"Hanzo didn't know what he saw, but he still sent him and some other ninjas to attack Konoha. Before they left, he forced them to eat the red fruit, which directly boosted their strength from elite Jonin to Kage level!"

"And the other companions are all Jonin level, and they have been directly promoted to Kage level. That's all."

After hearing all this, Toru was able to roughly determine who the enemy was. The only ones capable of creating fruits that could increase chakra were the Otsutsuki clan.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki has already been sealed away. In this world, besides Kaguya, there is only Isshiki Otsutsuki, or Jigen.

Qu Feng didn't have a very deep impression of him and didn't pay much attention to Boruto.

But none of the Otsutsuki are easy to mess with. Back in the Land of Whirlpools, when Ame mentioned being a vessel for the reincarnation of an adult, it's likely that the person behind him is also Otsutsuki Isshiki.

But Yamanaka said that he heard a woman's voice coming from the secret room, which could not possibly be Cixian.

Could it be an artificial human? But Amado has already been found by me, so who else would research artificial humans for him?

However, now that he knew who the enemy behind the scenes was, Toru felt more confident. Although he couldn't defeat the Otsutsuki clan now, things might change in a decade or so when the world truly began to be in turmoil.

"Very good, how accurate is this information?"
