My older sister is Kushina

While Minato Namikaze was talking with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, Hanamichi Uzumaki had already quietly infiltrated the Root organization's secret prison barrier.

He had previously studied the prison's security measures and successfully infiltrated them.

Therefore, the prison barrier was not an obstacle for him.

The prison barrier is not actually a particularly complex barrier. The Uzumaki clan, who are proficient in sealing techniques, also have unique research on barriers.

The Whirlpool Flower Path is a secret location where one can silently pass through the barrier and enter the prison area.

He had previously explored the prison area and was fairly familiar with its internal environment.

Whirlpool Flower City carefully crept along the dark path. Although it was already midnight, there were still quite a few Root organization guards in the prison area.

Clearly, Root organization attaches great importance to this secret prison.

Soon, Whirlpool Flower City entered the prison's interior area.

The prison's interior area wasn't large, and he soon arrived at an iron gate checkpoint.

The iron gate is the only passage connecting the inside and outside areas of the prison.

At this moment, two masked men are on duty at the iron gate checkpoint.

Whirlpool Flower Path observed for a few moments, then walked confidently toward the iron gate checkpoint.

However, he was not in his original form at this moment, nor was he Wolf Fang, the captain of the first squad of the Dark Division. Instead, he was a person wearing a black patterned mask.

This black patterned mask resembles that of a masked person who was previously on guard duty outside.

Uzumaki Hanamichi uses a transformation technique to change the appearance of his opponent.

As Whirlpool Hanamichi approached the iron gate, the two masked guards immediately turned their attention to him. However, upon seeing Whirlpool Hanamichi, they didn't show any unusual reaction. One of them calmly asked, "Pegasus, what's wrong...?"

The masked man's words were cut short as he spoke.

His expression became blank.

The expression in the eyes of the other masked guard also changed.

The pupils of the whirlpool flower path had turned blood red, and at the same time, three magatama immediately appeared.

At this moment, he activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

With the Sharingan in its three-tomoe state, Uzumaki Hanamichi's ocular power was greatly enhanced and improved.

The moment he made eye contact with the two masked guards, Uzumaki Hanamichi activated his illusion.

At this moment, the two masked men on duty were forcibly controlled by his Sharingan. In a sense, the two masked men had become his puppets.

Immediately afterwards, Whirlpool Flower Path controlled the two masked men to open the iron gate of the checkpoint.

The heavy iron gate was slowly opened.

Without hesitation, Whirlpool Flower Path quickly stepped through the iron gate.

After entering the iron gate, Uzumaki Hanamichi did not use the illusion magic, but instead controlled the two people to continue guarding the iron gate, acting as his eyes and ears.

Of course, this kind of continuous chakra control consumes a relatively large amount of chakra.

Uzumaki Hanamichi wasn't too worried about chakra. The amount of chakra in his body was comparable to that of a tailed beast, only without the astonishing recovery speed of a tailed beast.

Upon entering the prison, Hanamichi Uzumaki began a careful and meticulous investigation.

The prison was extremely quiet at midnight. Apart from the three guards and the prisoners, no one else was found by Uzumaki Hanamichi.

"There really was a hidden area!"

After searching the area, Uzumaki Hanamichi found no trace of Orochimaru or the children, which led him to conclude that there must be hidden rooms inside the prison.

Just as Whirlpool Flower Path was carefully searching the secret room, strange black runes suddenly appeared on the wall at the end of a corridor. Then, the sealed wall slowly opened.

Then, a figure stepped out.

As he stepped out, the door in the wall behind him quickly closed.

It was a man carrying a ninja sword and wearing a white striped mask. After walking out of the wall passage, he immediately walked quickly towards the outer area of ​​the prison.

However, as he walked through the corridor for dozens of meters and turned a corner, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The man's eyes instantly turned alert, and he reached for the ninja sword behind his back.

However, the next moment, he found that the surrounding environment had turned into a blood-red world.

Above the crimson world are a pair of eerie eyes, with six strange black tomoe in the blood-red pupils, which are connected end to end to form a ring.

Soon, a person appeared in front of him.

That person was none other than Uzumaki Kadomichi, though of course, he was Uzumaki Kadomichi in disguise.

Uzumaki Hanamichi directly activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, forcibly pulling the white-striped masked man closer to the illusion space.

He had seen the white striped masked man before; he had accompanied Orochimaru on several occasions. Although he wasn't entirely sure of the man's strength, he figured he was no weakling. So, he immediately activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Compared to the three-tomoe Sharingan, the Mangekyou Sharingan greatly enhances his ocular power, and related techniques are also greatly strengthened, as is the case with his genjutsu.

The white-striped masked man had just grabbed the ninja sword behind his back, but before he could draw it, his arm was already bound by black chains.

Meanwhile, more chains spread around the masked man.

Soon, the white-masked man was tightly bound by black chains and could not move at all.

Within this illusionary space, he, as the caster, could almost be considered the master of the illusion.

"Illusion!"

The man in the white striped mask immediately realized he was under an illusion. He tried to break free, but soon found it was futile.

Whirlpool Flower Path walked unhurriedly to the person in the white striped mask.

The person in the white striped mask asked nervously, "Who are you?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Who I am isn't important; what's important is who you are."

The man in the white striped mask said firmly, "This is not something you should know."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Is that so?"

As he spoke, Uzumaki Hanamichi suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the other person's neck: "If you answer my questions honestly, I can make you suffer less."

The man in the white striped mask scoffed, "It's just an illusion."

Whirlpool Flower said, "Since that's the case, then I'll just have to let you experience pain."

"Bang..."

With a sudden burst of power, the swirling flower path snapped the neck of the man in the white striped mask.

However, the white-striped masked man did not die, but instead let out a scream. This was an injury caused by the illusion. Although it did not cause real physical damage, the pain was exactly the same as in the real situation.

Whirlpool Flower City loosened its grip on the white-striped masked man, and then suddenly a short knife appeared in its hand, which it then thrust directly into the masked man's chest.

One cut, two cuts, three cuts...

Screams rose and fell.

Although the attacks from Uzumaki Hanamichi in this illusion were not physical, they felt as real as if they were real, causing a kind of mental blow and torment.
