Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

"You two, get out and guard outside. No one is allowed to come in without my orders."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The Third Hokage didn't want anyone else to know about the Spirit Transformation Technique, not even his direct Anbu.

After the two Anbu left, the Third Hokage came to the bed and finally opened the "medical kit."

Kenshi, turning his head to see some of the contents of the kit, instantly had bloodshot eyes. Unprecedented fear enveloped his entire being.

"You know, ninjas have a strong pain tolerance."

"If it were your original body, these little things would be like tickling to you, nothing to worry about."

The Third Hokage said, picking up a thin needle. He glanced at Kenshi, who was trembling all over, and then smiled, "Luckily, you just possessed this body. It hasn't been through any battles, so its pain tolerance is very low. You'll definitely feel the most extreme pain."

"No… no, no… don't."

Kenshi instinctively clenched his fist, shaking his head back and forth, trying to dodge back. His bloodshot eyes widened in terror, staring at the long needle in the Third Hokage's hand.

Even though the Third Hokage hadn't moved yet, Kenshi's brain was already uncontrollably imagining all the possible ways the needle could be used.

He felt his fingernails already sending piercing pain towards him.

"Hokage-sama, I'll tell you everything. Don't torture me. I really will tell you everything."

"Please, please…"

Kenshi was like a lamb being led to slaughter. His terrified, pleading eyes looked at the Third Hokage, instinctively begging him to spare him, again and again.

"Very convincing acting!"

"But it's useless."

Although the Third Hokage couldn't sense any acting from Kenshi at this moment, that kind of physical, instinctive reaction was hard to fake.

But he couldn't believe Kenshi's words.

In this world where various jutsu and secret techniques were rampant, there was a memory-sealing jutsu that could perfectly hide a spy. They wouldn't even know they were spies, so there would be no trace of acting.

Who knew if Kenshi had also sealed related memories, causing him to insist that he was just a civilian, not a ninja?

If that was the case, with the inability to invade Kenshi's chakra, no one could undo his memory seal.

The Third Hokage could only inflict pain on Kenshi, forcing him to break through the memory seal in his mind under the instinct to survive, and then he could use memory exploration jutsu.

This was the common method used in the ninja world to undo memory seals, before the development of invasive memory and memory-unsealing jutsu.

It was a proven method, which is why the Anbu had related torture tools.

"I'm not acting, I really am not acting!" Kenshi was now crying uncontrollably. He really wasn't acting.

The Third Hokage didn't react at all. He smiled with double meaning, "Only true pain can make you remember everything."

The Third Hokage easily pried open Kenshi's clenched fist, grabbed his thumb, and gently touched Kenshi's thumb with the tip of a thin needle in his right hand.

Kenshi's entire body instantly trembled even more violently. The bed started to shake rapidly, like a machine gun firing.

His left arm trembled the most, but his thumb remained steady in the Third Hokage's grip, as if it wasn't his hand. But his sensation was the most sensitive.

"I… you… damn… pen, I've told you it's true, you can't understand?!"

"W… what the hell, you Sarutobi monkey, you're a piece of sh*t."

Seeing that the Third Hokage didn't have any intention of letting him go, Kenshi's emotions finally completely broke down.

He started cursing the Third Hokage, even using Mandarin Chinese. He was no longer holding back, just wanting to vent his fear.

Perhaps it was Kenshi's sudden outburst, coupled with the incomprehensible Mandarin Chinese, that made the Third Hokage a little stunned. He paused for a moment, then frowned at Kenshi. He couldn't understand what he was saying.

But from Kenshi's facial expression and hateful eyes, the Third Hokage knew that those words he couldn't understand weren't good words.

The Third Hokage smiled, not minding it. He had broken down, which was good. It was this kind of breakdown, the body's and mind's instinct to survive, that would break through the memory seal in his mind.

"Feel this extreme pain!"

The Third Hokage slowly inserted the needle into the gap between Kenshi's thumb.

"Hiss…"

Akemiya Kenshi, who had been cursing madly, instantly shut his mouth. An unimaginable pain surged from the gap between his fingernails, instantly spreading throughout his body.

Akemiya Kenshi gasped, and his entire body stopped shaking violently in that instant.

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

After a short moment.

"Ah!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the interrogation room. The Blast squad, standing guard outside the interrogation room, heard this scream that seemed to pierce the soul. Even though their pain tolerance was already very strong, and they could even pop out their eyeballs without changing their expressions, they couldn't help but tremble at this moment.

Inside the interrogation room, the Third Hokage's movements didn't stop. He held the sharp needle, slowly and forcefully inserting it deeper into the gap between Kenshi's fingernails.

At this time, Kenshi's body seemed to finally recover from the intense pain.

He started shaking even more violently than before.

He bounced up and down, twisted wildly from side to side, and screamed in agony.

Bound tightly to the bed, he was like a fish gasping for air on land, twisting his body frantically, but there was no sign of weakening.

At this moment, Kenshi was in so much pain that his mind was completely blank. There was only pain, no other thoughts.

For Kenshi, who would cry out in pain even when getting an injection, he was very sensitive to pain psychologically.

If the pain level of having a needle inserted into the gap between the fingernails was one for others, then the pain level that Kenshi could feel was ten.

If you add the psychological effect of his own sensitivity to pain.

The pain level he was feeling now was fifteen.

Even adults would cry tears and snot, with their veins popping out all over, but Kenshi was feeling fifteen times more pain on top of that.

Akemiya Kenshi had lost his ability to think completely due to the pain.

On the bed, Kenshi's body was now covered in bulging veins, like a hundred-year-old man.

This showed how much pain he was in at this moment.

Finally, before the Third Hokage could completely pierce Kenshi's thumb with the needle, he fainted from the pain.

The moment Kenshi fainted, the Third Hokage didn't even pull out the needle. He immediately formed hand seals.

"Genjutsu, Dark Walk Technique."

The familiar routine was repeated. The Dark Walk Technique genjutsu chakra quickly entered Kenshi's body.

A few seconds later, the Third Hokage frowned and lowered his hand.

"It's still not working?"

As expected, even though he had fainted from the pain, Kenshi's consciousness was still tightly bound to his chakra. The Third Hokage's genjutsu chakra was instinctively rejected by Kenshi's consciousness, and the genjutsu didn't work.

"This person's mental will is very strong!"

The Third Hokage instantly reached this conclusion. Then, he pulled out the needle from the gap between Kenshi's thumb, wiped the blood off it with a cloth, and put it back into the medical kit.

He glanced at Kenshi, whose veins were still prominent even though he had fainted, and then turned to leave the interrogation room. He didn't continue to torture Kenshi.

Akemiya Kenshi had been hungry for a whole day and night, and if the pain level was too high, his body would activate a protective mechanism and faint, which conflicted with the Third Hokage's purpose for torturing him.

Besides, the Third Hokage was also afraid that if he tortured him too much, Kenshi wouldn't be able to withstand the pain and die. Then he would regret it.

He would come back tomorrow night.

Leaving the interrogation room, the Third Hokage instructed the Blast squad to take good care of Kenshi, to give him enough food and drink, and to make sure he could be lively and active tomorrow night.

Only a healthy and strong Kenshi could feel the most intense pain, and only then could he break through the memory seal in his mind.

Only then could the Third Hokage obtain the perfect Spirit Transformation Technique he wanted.
