Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

How long Li Yao can live will determine when he will reveal the improved version of the spiritualization technique that the third generation wants to know.

"You...what you just said was true?" Sandai suddenly asked with a frown.

Li Yao quickly replied: "Everything I said is true. I am really not an enemy of Konoha. I have never even killed a living animal."

Li Yao did everything he could to show that he was harmless and that he was not an enemy of Konoha. Only in this way could he have a chance of survival.

The third generation frowned even deeper, the expression on Li Yao's face was too real.

Compared with the deliberately poor acting skills that this kid just displayed, his facial expressions, tone and eyes when he spoke all revealed that everything he said was true.

Anyway, there is absolutely no flaw in the third generation.

This shows that what this kid said is true.

But this is impossible!

The possession of others' bodies is true. If he says he is not a ninja, he will not believe it even if you kill three generations.

Who would believe that waking up in a different body was not done using the art of spiritualization?

Even if it is not the art of spiritualization, it is a similar art.

Anyway, it is impossible for a civilian to do such a thing.

Thinking of this, the Sandai asked, "Do you know any ninjutsu similar to the Reikijutsu?"

No matter whether it is a spiritualization technique or not, as long as it is a technique that can take over another person's body and live, it is definitely correct, and he needs it.

Li Yao said with a bitter face: "Hokage-sama, I don't even know what the Spiritualization Technique is, and I really don't know any ninjutsu?"

"You don't know? Impossible." The third generation shook his head subconsciously. He didn't believe that a secretary who could take over other people's bodies and a person who could use such a secretary would not know the art of spiritualization.

But Li Yao really didn't know that in the world before he traveled through time, Naruto had already ended many years ago. Although he would occasionally read some Naruto fan fiction, most of them started with the Uchiha clan, and there was basically no mention of the spirit transformation technique in them, at least he had no memory of the spirit transformation technique at all.

"Hokage, I am really just a civilian. I don't know why I woke up in a different body. Maybe... No, I must be a victim. Maybe someone is secretly experimenting with some secret technique, which made me change my body. Maybe Kimura Yao is not dead now, he..."

Li Yao wanted to say that the soul of his predecessor, Kimura Yao, might have possessed him, but when he thought that it was Earth, a world away, he subconsciously stopped.

Deep down, he subconsciously didn't want anyone to know his identity as a time traveler.

However, it was Li Yao's hesitation that made the third generation misunderstand.

He didn't know why Li Yao's acting skills were so different before and after. He only knew that Li Yao didn't tell the whole truth.

But it doesn’t matter.

It will be enough as long as we make sure that the current Kimura Yao is possessed by someone else.

Anyway, as for the rest, the Third Generation didn't expect the enemy to tell the truth so easily.

"Eat well."

The third generation said something meaningful, then stood up and left.

When Li Yao heard what the Third Generation said, he suddenly felt unprecedented ecstasy in his heart. He thought that the Third Generation had let him go.

Just when he wanted to thank Sandai loudly, he suddenly realized that his hands were still tied and the lunch box was on the ground in front of him, and he couldn't reach it at all.

Li Yao realized that the Third Generation did not believe him, or had no intention of letting him go.

Sure enough, after the third generation left, an Anbu ninja walked in.

Li Yao's heart suddenly tensed up as he watched the Anbu ninjas approaching step by step. He quickly said loudly that he was really not an enemy of Konoha, and that he had been ambushed by someone and that he was innocent.

Li Yao was shouting, tears streaming down his face, and even an impulse was brewing between his thighs.

Li Yao's fear was completely palpable.

There is no way. He is just a worker who grew up in a peaceful society. When facing death, his fear is intense.

"what?"

"Aren't you going to kill me?"

The Anbu walked up to Li Yao, but instead of killing him, he picked up the chopsticks next to the lunch box, picked up the sushi and handed it to Li Yao's mouth.

Li Yao's screaming and crying expression froze for a moment, and then he was ecstatic and quickly bit into the sushi.

Not trying to kill me!

Not trying to kill me!

Li Yao was muttering to himself while eating sushi. At this moment, for some reason, the sushi tasted unimaginably delicious. He was completely immersed in the delicacy.

After a while, the sushi was finished.

The Anbu ninja took the sushi lunch box away without saying a word to Li Yao the whole time, and Li Yao didn't dare to say anything more.

After waiting for a while, the third generation came in, and with him came two Anbu ninjas.

The two Anbu ninjas were pushing a movable bed with pulleys, similar to the emergency bed in the hospital in their previous life.

There is also a tool box, or first aid kit, on the bed.

Um...wait?

This is definitely not a hospital, and he is not sick, so where did the first aid kit come from? Where did the hospital bed come from?

Li Yao's heart suddenly began to tremble violently, and his eyes turned cold. He seemed to realize something.

The third generation picked up the first aid kit on the bed, glanced at Li Yao, and smiled with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Carry him up."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Two Anbu came over and uncuffed Li Yao's hands and feet.

Li Yao's face was filled with horror. He finally realized that the Third Generation was preparing to torture him.

"Hokage-sama, I will tell you whatever you want to know. I really didn't lie to you. Everything I said is true."

"You have to believe me, Hokage-sama!"

The Sandai just looked at Li Yao calmly without saying anything. The two Anbu had no intention of stopping either. They took one of each and carried Li Yao to the hospital bed, or rather the torture bed.

Li Yao's eyes turned red and he went crazy. He struggled desperately.

However, he had just finished his meal, and his body had not had time to digest the food and convert it into strength. He had no strength at all, and the so-called struggle did not register at all in the eyes of the two Anbu ninjas.

Soon, Li Yao was pressed on the torture bed, with his legs, hands and waist tightly bound with tough bandages.

"Hokage-sama, I will tell you whatever you want to ask me. Please don't torture me. I will confess everything. Please don't torture me."

"Please, Hokage-sama, I'm not a bad person, I'm a good person!"

Li Yao was still begging the Third Generation not to torture him. He was just an ordinary person who would scream in pain when getting an injection in the hospital. He really couldn't withstand the punishments he saw in movies and TV dramas.

And he has already told the truth. Why didn't the third generation believe him?

Li Yao collapsed and struggled on the bed, begging for forgiveness from three generations with pitiful eyes.

There was no trace of pity on Sandai's face.

Having experienced the brutal end of the Warring States Period and the tragic First Ninja World War, the Third Generation, who had seen what death was, would not have the slightest mercy on his enemies.

In his opinion, Li Yao, who invaded Konoha and took over Kimura Yao's body, is Konoha's enemy.

When dealing with enemies, nothing is too much.

Chapter 21 Collapse, Pain, Coma

"You go out and guard outside. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The Sandaime didn't want anyone else to know about the spirit transformation technique, not even his direct Anbu.

After the two Anbu left, the Sandai came to the bed and finally opened the "first aid kit".

Li Yao turned his head and saw part of the things in the box, his eyes instantly became bloodshot, and an unprecedented fear enveloped his whole body.

"You know what? Ninjas have very strong endurance."

"If this is your original body, then these little things are just a tickle to you, not worth mentioning."

As Sandai spoke, he picked up a thin needle, glanced at the trembling Li Yao, and then smiled: "Fortunately, you just took over the body. This body has not been through a battle, and its tolerance for pain is very low. You must be able to feel extreme pain."

"No...no no...don't."

Li Yao subconsciously clenched his fists, shaking his head while trying to dodge backwards. His bloodshot eyes were wide open as he stared in horror at the needle growing on the hand of the Third Generation.

Although the third generation had not taken any action yet, Li Yao's brain had already involuntarily imagined all the possible ways in which the long needle could be used.

He felt his nails stinging him.

"Hokage-sama, I will tell you everything. Please don't torture me. I will tell you everything."

"Please, please..."

Li Yao was like a lamb to be slaughtered. He looked at the Third Generation with terrified and pleading eyes, and instinctively begged the Third Generation to let him go over and over again.

“Very realistic acting!”

"But it's no use."

Although the third generation could not sense any element of acting from Li Yao at this time, that kind of instinctive physical reaction was difficult to act out.

But it was impossible for him to believe Li Yao's words.

In this world where all kinds of ninjutsu and secret techniques are rampant, there is a kind of memory-sealing ninjutsu that can hide a spy perfectly. The spy himself does not even know that he is a spy, and naturally there is no trace of performance.

Who knows if Li Yao in front of him has also sealed the relevant memories, causing him to always insist that he is just a civilian, not a ninja?

If this is the case, no one can remove the seal on Li Yao's memory when chakra cannot invade Li Yao's chakra.

The third generation could only torture Li Yao painfully, so that Li Yao would break through the memory seal in his mind under the instinct of survival, and then he would perform the memory exploration technique.

This was a common method of removing memory seals in the ninja world before the ninjutsu of invading and unlocking memories was developed.

It is a proven method that works, so the relevant torture tools are kept in the Anbu.

"I didn't act, I really didn't act!" Li Yao was crying loudly at this moment, he really didn't act.

Sandai didn't feel anything, and said with a double meaning, "Only real pain can make you remember everything."

The third generation easily pried open Li Yao's clenched fist, held his thumb, and gently touched Li Yao's thumb with a long, pointed needle in his right hand.

Li Yao's whole body trembled even more violently in an instant, and the bed made a shaking sound like the sound of a high-speed machine gun firing.

His left arm was shaking the most violently, but his thumb was so steady under the grip of the Third Generation that it didn't seem like his hand, but his senses were the most sensitive.

"I'm telling you it's true, don't you understand?"

"Wozhinima, you Sarutobi monkey, buy yourself a bag of bi."

Seeing that the Third Generation had no intention of letting him go, Li Yao's emotions finally broke down completely.

He cursed three generations of people in Mandarin. He had no scruples anymore and just wanted to vent the fear in his heart.

Perhaps it was Li Yao's sudden outburst coupled with the incomprehensible Mandarin that made the third generation a little confused for a moment. He paused, then looked at Li Yao with a frown. He had no idea what this man was saying.

However, from Li Yao's facial expression and hateful eyes, the third generation knew that those words that he could not understand were definitely not good things.

The third generation smiled and didn't care. It was good that the defense was broken. It was necessary for this kind of collapse for the body and mind's self-survival instinct to break through the memory seal in the mind.

"Feel this extreme pain!"

The third generation needle slowly inserted into the gap between Li Yao's thumb.

"hiss……"

Li Yao, who was cursing wildly, shut up instantly. An unimaginable pain surged from a small point between his fingernails to his whole body in an instant.

Li Yao took a deep breath of cold air, and his whole body stopped shaking violently due to the intense pain at this moment.

At this moment, the intense pain overwhelmed the psychological and physical fear.

After just a moment.

"what!"

The childish screams echoed throughout the interrogation room. The Explosion Squad, who were standing guard outside the door, couldn't help but tremble all over when they heard the screams that seemed to pierce their hearts, even though they had a strong tolerance for pain and could even gouge out their eyes without changing their expressions.

In the interrogation room, the third generation did not stop his actions. He held the long, sharp needle and slowly and forcefully inserted it deep into Li Yao's fingernails.
