Master, please become the Hokage

It was not until Sarutobi Ryo's eyes swept over them that everyone woke up from their dream.

When Sarutobi Ryo passed Nono, he stopped and asked, "Do you have any surgical equipment?"

Nono is a medical ninja who is proficient in medical ninjutsu.

But many times medical ninjutsu also requires the assistance of surgical equipment.

Scalpels, forceps, saws...

These tools can be used to save lives, or... to kill people.

Sarutobi Ryo was ready to use some tools to interrogate the guy in his hand.

"have......"

Nono nodded quickly, completely putting away the contempt he had when they first met.

She handed a scroll to Sarutobi Ryo.

Then, footsteps were heard, and Sarutobi Ryo led the captured prisoners into the basement opened by the earth escape technique.

Everyone stared at Sarutobi Ryo's disappearing back, their eyes filled with surprise and respect.

Chapter 27. Harsh interrogation!

This is a dark basement.

It is surrounded by dense walls and floors.

Earth Style Ninjutsu can transform chakra into soil out of thin air, but this phenomenon will only last for a certain period of time before dissipating and returning to the most basic chakra particles between heaven and earth.

However...the soil in the real world that has been compressed by the Earth Release Ninjutsu will always maintain its compacted shape.

Obviously, this is an underground secret room opened up by humans.

Judging from the uneven surface of the building, someone had conducted extremely intense physical training here before.

That person...is Sarutobi Ryo, who is known as the son of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"hehe......"

The beautiful female kunoichi, who was tied up tightly, had a slight smile on her lips.

"Today... I fell into your hands... I didn't expect..."

Snapped!

Before she could finish, Sarutobi Ryo slapped her in the face.

This stunned her.

"Next, I speak and you answer."

Sarutobi Ryo casually used the earth escape technique, the ground rumbled, and a rectangular block of earth rose up and turned into a piece of furniture similar to a table.

Unfolding the scroll given by Nono, the dim candlelight revealed the neatly arranged surgical instruments inside.

The various shining tools emit a captivating cold light, leaving no doubt about their sharpness.

"Heh... Since you already know what I did, you naturally won't consider letting me go. Do you think... I will tell you the information you want to know?"

"Oh." Sarutobi Ryo responded to her indifferently, "I've seen many people who would rather die than surrender, but every one of them will eventually tell me what I want to know..."

As he spoke, Sarutobi Ryo picked up a scalpel and examined it in front of his eyes.

It wasn't a pretense, but a feeling of...nostalgia.

"It's been a long time... since I did something like this."

"Master, what have you not done in a long time?"

Then Yamanaka Hui entered the basement and walked over with interest.

She was obviously very interested in the interrogation.

"People eat chickens, chickens eat bugs, and ninjas eat everything... the food chain... it's really interesting~."

Yamanaka Hui walked up to Sarutobi Ryo and looked at him with a happy smile.

If it were true that Sarutobi Ryo only gave the other party a cold impression.

So... Yamanaka Hui, with her blonde hair in a single ponytail, gave her a creepy and morbid feeling at this moment.

That is to disregard all life and think that killing is natural, just like drinking water and eating.

To be more precise, it's like a child squatting on the ground, crushing and burning ants one by one, but just thinking it's fun.

"Trust me, if you are interrogated by me, you will die more easily."

Sarutobi Ryo stared at the other person and slowly placed the scalpel at his side.

"Because I want to remind you that...her cousin [Yamada Kei]...is Yamanaka Inoichi, the head of our Konoha Intelligence Department."

"!"

Upon hearing the name "Yamada Inoichi", the other party finally lost his composure.

There is never a shortage of geniuses in the ninja world.

Just like the lightning-fast rise of Minato Namikaze, Yamanaka Inoichi, who was only a few years older than him, became the head of Konoha's intelligence department at a young age.

He is renowned across the world for his exceptional abilities and formidable intelligence-gathering abilities.

Fighting with Golden Flash might only result in being killed or captured alive.

But if it falls into the hands of Yamanaka Inoichi, everything in his brain will be taken out by force.

In severe cases, the brain will be messed up and the person may become an idiot.

As Yamanaka Inoichi's cousin.

Shan Zhonghui not only inherited the secret techniques and bloodline qualifications of the Shan Zhong clan.

In terms of cruelty, he is even more so.

Obtaining intelligence is just a job for Yamanaka Inoichi.

But for Yamanaka Hui, torturing the enemy's brain can make her happy for a while, which is enough as a pastime.

"Are you sure I won't commit suicide first?" The other person's face changed several times, and he lost his previous arrogance.

"Will not."

Sarutobi Ryo placed the scalpel next to the other person's neck.

Even though he looked extremely disheveled, his glittering outfit was still extremely eye-catching.

"From a standard ninja, he became a person who pursued luxury... He accumulated a lot of money and became an upper-class person. He lost his keenness in life and death and gained a humble understanding of survival..."

simply put.

When you have money, you feel that your life is valuable.

"How could such a person want to die?"

Sarutobi Ryo looked at the other person with a mocking expression.

I don't think the other party would hide poison between his teeth or anything like that.

After his true identity was exposed, the other party's body began to tremble slightly.

Shame? Anger? Hatred? Embarrassment? Loss of face? Perhaps all sorts of emotions were present, but that wasn't the point.

"So, first question... What's your gender? And what do you do for a living?"

other side:"......"

......

A few hours later.

Sarutobi Ryo asked for almost all the information.

From the other person's background, growth, experience, to everything today, even her own abilities.

That's right, even the training experience of "Shadow Clone" and "Fire Style Chakra Flow" were obtained by Sarutobi Ryo.

This is equivalent to getting all the experience and skills of a senior ninja for free.

When Sarutobi Ryo asked the question unintentionally, the other party's subsequent answer was beyond Sarutobi Ryo's expectations.

This even caused Sarutobi Ryo's eyes to change for the first time.

Question: Do you have any other skills?

The other party's answer was...

"I also tried to practice Steel Release."

"!"

Sarutobi Ryo stared at the prisoner in front of him, with an astonishing gleam in his eyes.

This scene even made Shan Zhonghui look sideways: "Young Master?"

"you say......"

Taking a deep breath, Sarutobi Ryo returned to his cold demeanor.

"You, have cultivated Steel Release?"

Steel Release is also a type of Kekkei Genkai.

As mentioned before, there are two major categories of bloodline limits.

One is a mutated body organ like the Byakugan and Sharingan of the Hyuga and Uchiha.

One is to fuse two chakra attributes to create a new attribute.

Steel Release belongs to the second category.

The function is to increase the strength of the body surface.

And there is an interesting little detail, even the names of the bloodline limits sound exactly the same.

The functions may also be very different.

For example, "Molten Release" has three forms of expression: old purple covered with magma, black soil spewing cement, and earth platform spitting out rubber...

The different proportions of chakra attributes fused by the caster and the different individual qualities will lead to differences in the final manifestation of the bloodline limit.

At this moment, Sarutobi Ryo finally realized a problem.

He had used all his strength to attack the opponent dozens of times before he was able to neutralize him.

At first, Sarutobi Ryo always thought that this was because the other party had excellent physical fitness, after all, he was a senior ninja.

And in fact...

Swish!

Sarutobi Ryo rolled up the other person's sleeves, and the white jade-like arm appeared before him.

Sarutobi Ryo stared intently at the other's skin, looking like some kind of gentleman.

But soon, Sarutobi Ryo discovered the secret: "Your skin..."

"Heh... That's right, I used Steel Release to harden my skin..."

The other party muttered.

Although the skin is hardened, the internal organs and most of the muscles are not within the scope of the strengthening of Steel Release.

So even when faced with Sarutobi Ryo's blunt and violent beatings, she was still shocked to the point of vomiting blood.

This is like using a hammer to hit a knight in medieval armor.

Even if the armor can resist ordinary swords and knives, it will still be destroyed by a big hammer.

"Tell me how to practice Steel Release."

Sarutobi Ryo's tone turned cold, even a little urgent.

Because... this method of fusing one's own bloodline limit is so valuable!
