Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

Therefore, interrogations in the Naruto world are simple and rough.

Capture the enemy, just like Li Yao did tonight.

The first step after catching him is to directly and forcibly search his memory through memory exploration ninjutsu.

If this type of ninjutsu is not effective, the memory cannot be searched.

Then use illusion to trick the enemy into revealing the information they know.

Only when searching memories and inducing illusions fail to yield the desired information will one proceed to the third step.

This step is not torture, but direct dissection to obtain the final information from the body.

The principle is actually the same as the first step.

After a person dies, as long as the head is intact, the remaining memories in the brain can still be read through ninjutsu.

Only when the enemy cannot be killed will they resort to torture and extort intelligence.

Thanks to the change in consciousness after the time travel, Li Yao’s memory cannot be explored. If the first step doesn’t work, then the second step will be taken.

He was now being invaded by illusion chakra.

The essence of illusion is actually chakra penetration and invasion.

Illusion chakra is a special and very illusory chakra.

This kind of chakra can penetrate into the chakra of others silently, and then when it flows to the brain through the chakra of others, it affects the brain, thereby affecting the perception of others and forming an illusion.

So it is also very easy to break the illusion.

The core is to disrupt one's own chakra.

Illusion Chakra is a very illusory chakra, more like the moon in the water. When the water surface is still, it is difficult to tell which one is real, the moon in the sky or the moon in the water.

But once the slightest ripple appears on the calm water surface, it is easy to distinguish which is the moon in the water and which is the real moon.

Therefore, as long as one can disrupt the flow of one's own chakra, just like destroying the calm surface of the water and causing ripples, the illusion can be easily broken.

But it is not easy to disrupt one's own chakra.

Especially when you are caught in an illusion, your perception is overcontrolled and you think you have mobilized chakra to cause disturbance, but in fact, nothing happens.

Only ninjas who have intensively practiced and understood illusions can rely on daily practice to develop an instinctive self-protection reaction of the body, bypassing the influence of illusions and disrupting their own chakra.

But even so, it cannot resist advanced illusions.

At this time, one usually needs the help of a companion to use chakra to disrupt one's own chakra in order to get out of the illusion.

Or maybe there is a tailed beast inside you that is willing to help disrupt your chakra.

Li Yao had no one to help him disrupt his own chakra, there was no tailed beast in his body, and his chakra was sealed, so he could not disrupt himself.

He should have been unable to resist the illusion.

However, after his consciousness and chakra merged into one, he could still clearly perceive even the illusory chakra.

At this moment, Yamanaka Kou's illusion chakra was like the invisible stick in his dream poking his stomach, trying to poke it inside.

Li Yao sensed it very clearly.

Just like in a dream, he threw away the illusion chakra that Yamanaka Kou wanted to invade.

In short, it is impossible to invade his chakra.

"Sure enough, even illusions don't work!"

Looking at Li Yao who was lying motionless in front of him, Yamanaka Jiayu reluctantly let go of his hand, but there was no expression of surprise on his face.

When the technique of confusing the mind and body was ineffective, he had already anticipated that the illusion would most likely have no effect on the target as well.

After all, the principles of illusion are similar to his mind-ran body technique, both of which require infiltrating the target's chakra.

"Hokage-sama." Yamanaka Kou turned around, faced the Sandaime, and apologized, "I'm sorry, the illusion is also ineffective against the target."

"I understand." The third generation put his hands behind his back, his expression unrecognizable, and said calmly, "You go out first."

Yamanaka Jiayu said goodbye and left, and came to the door of the secret room. He looked back at Li Yao, and his intuition told him that this child had a big secret, and it was a very big secret.

It's a pity that his technique of confusing the mind and body didn't work.

The third generation obviously had no intention of telling him this big secret.

He did not dare to ask any more questions, maintaining the wisdom that a subordinate should have.

After Yamanaka Jiayu left, only Sandai and Li Yao were in the quiet candlelit secret room.

Neither of them spoke. The only sound in the silence was the beating of Li Yao's heart in his chest.

Obviously, Li Yao was very scared at this time and didn't know what the third generation wanted to do.

The third generation didn't want to do anything, at least he didn't want to kill Li Yao now.

He came in front of Li Yao again, formed seals with his hands, and performed an illusion technique developed by the second generation.

"The Art of Darkness."

The third generation did not completely believe Yamanaka Kou, or rather, he felt that the illusion he cast was more powerful than Yamanaka Kou's.

He believed that Li Yao could not resist the penetration of his illusionary dark chakra.

After all, the Dark Walk Technique is an illusion created by the second generation specifically to restrain the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

You know, the Sharingan is the nemesis of illusions, and ordinary illusions will be directly bounced back to the opponent.

Powerful illusions can also be directly seen through the Sharingan's powerful perception ability of the illusion chakra to respond in advance.

There are only a handful of illusions in the ninja world that can be effective against the Uchiha ninjas who possess the Sharingan, especially the triple-magatama Sharingan.

However, the Dark Movement Technique couldn't even break the Three Magatama Sharingan.

It can be seen that the power of the Dark Illusion Technique is worthy of being an illusion developed specifically for the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

The third generation did not think that Li Yao could withstand the powerful illusion of darkness.

However, the reality is that Li Yao once again blocked the penetration of illusion chakra.

And it was very easy, no more difficult than blocking Yamanaka Kou's illusion chakra.

The third generation was silent. He stared at Li Yao for a long time, then suddenly smiled with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"If they are immune to the Dark Technique, then can they also be immune to the Sharingan's illusion?"

Li Yao's importance in the hearts of the three generations has increased a little bit.

The Uchiha clan was the biggest concern for the third generation, and their greatest strength lay in the power of their Sharingan illusion techniques.

There is a saying circulating in the ninja world.

"When fighting an Uchiha clan ninja, never confront the Sharingan."

As long as the two eyes meet for a moment, they will fall into the illusion cast by the Sharingan.

So he faced the Uchiha clan's Sharingan ninja on the battlefield.

In a one-on-one situation, escape.

If you don't escape and fall into the illusion, you will surely die.

Only in a two-on-one situation, where one person is caught in the illusion and the other can help disrupt the chakra to dispel the illusion, is it possible to defeat the Uchiha clan's Sharingan ninja.

This shows the power of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan illusion.

The reason why the Uchiha clan was able to fight against the Senju clan for many years without losing the upper hand and become one of the two strongest clans in the ninja world during the Warring States Period was because of the powerful illusion bestowed by the Sharingan.

Even without the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Many strong jonin-level warriors cannot withstand the illusions cast by the three-magatama Sharingan.

But now, the Third Hokage saw a person with his chakra sealed and imprisoned resisting an illusion that even the Three-magatama Sharingan could not withstand.

So...is it possible that he is immune to Kaleidoscope-level illusions?

The third generation looked at Li Yao with brighter eyes.

If I could be immune...haha!

The third generation smiled and turned away.

Chapter 16 Yes, Hiruzen

"Be careful, don't let anyone die."

After opening the door and coming to the outside of the secret room, the Sandai gave a few instructions to the Blast Squad guarding outside, then left the Anbu and returned home.

From beginning to end, the third generation and Yamanaka Jiayu did not speak a word to Li Yao who had just woken up.

Because it is not necessary.

In their minds, anyone who enters the Anbu interrogation room will die.

Regardless of whether he can obtain intelligence or not, Li Yao's fate is death.

Li Yao, who didn't know that he was doomed, learned from the conversation between Sandai and Yamanaka Kazuo that he was not induced by illusion and his memory was not explored by the mind-confusing body technique. He thought that there was still a chance to save his identity and that he still had a glimmer of hope.

This body is indeed Kimura Yo's.

And he does have Kimura Yo's memories, although not many.

But his predecessor, Kimura Yomoto, was just a six-year-old child. How much memory could he have in six years?

Although the memories that Li Yao inherited were not many, they were enough for him to disguise himself as a real Kimura Yao.

As long as he insists that he is Kimura Yao, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Li Yao bet that the third generation would show a kind side like in the original work, care about the lives of the villagers, and would not easily kill any Konoha villager.

As long as the third generation recognizes him as Kimura Yao, he will have a great chance of surviving.

"The next step is to show off my acting skills."

While Li Yao was carefully recalling Kimura Yao's memories, he was thinking about what kind of expression he would have if he got the chance to speak.

Considering his current sudden situation, how should he react to be consistent with Kimura Yo's character.

That night, Li Yao desperately thought of a solution. He longed for a chance to survive.

……

"Grandma, I'm going to school."

"Well, walk slowly, Minato-chan, don't fall."

"understood."

The next morning, the same scene was repeated at the front door of Minato's villa.

Minato smiled and waved goodbye to his grandmother. In his hand, he still held a large lunch box for two people, which was still filled with rice balls that he and his good friend Kimura Yo liked.

The only difference from yesterday morning was that this time Minato was more anxious. He responded hastily to the greetings from his classmates and walked quickly through.

A night passed.

How's Yao's situation?

Has Lord Hokage caught the bastard who controlled Yao?

Did Yao go home and sleep safely last night?

Will I be able to see Yao when I get to school today?

Minato felt very nervous and uneasy, not knowing what the best outcome would be for his friend.

With this uneasy heart, Minato came to school early.

Arriving at his class and opening the back door, Minato's eyes immediately turned towards the left window seat in the third row.

"Ok!"

Minato's eyes darkened. His good friend Kimura Yō was no longer in the familiar position he usually was.

"Maybe... maybe he hasn't come yet?"

"Yes, that should be the case."

Minato thought again, then came to where they usually sat with a smile on his face and sat down.
