Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

As the Third Hokage expected, the situation unfolded as predicted over the next six months.

After the "stimulating" pain torture, the Third Hokage didn't stop. He found a potion from somewhere and gave it to Kenshi to drink.

Then, Kenshi felt an "internal" itch.

The itch didn't feel very strong at first.

But as soon as he reached out to scratch, trying to relieve the itch, it would get worse and worse, and he couldn't stop.

And this itch, coming from within, couldn't be stopped by scratching.

Scratching the skin would only make it itch more and more, causing more and more pain.

Don't underestimate the itch, as if it's not as stimulating to the senses as pain.

In fact, intense itching could also stimulate the senses, making life unbearable.

Kenshi had never imagined that itching could torture someone to the point of fainting.

When the itch drove him completely insane, regardless of life or death, he forcefully plunged both hands into his chest, trying to pry open his chest, grab his heart inside, and rub it hard to relieve the itch. He couldn't bear it and fainted.

Even at this point, the Third Hokage didn't let him go.

The subsequent psychological torture of fear also made Kenshi's life unbearable.

The Third Hokage put a rat, covered in sharp, coarse fur, into a bottle. Then, he forced the bottle's opening into Kenshi's mouth and used a small Fire Release technique to send the panicked rat into Kenshi's dark throat.

That night, Kenshi watched helplessly as the rat burrowed into his throat. The strange sensation, coupled with the psychological fear, made him faint again.

After that, there were things like leading a snake into a hole, and a centipede crawling into his ear.

The Third Hokage used every perverse method imaginable to drive Kenshi's spirit to collapse.

Kenshi's mental state deteriorated day by day.

Finally, one night, half a year later.

The Third Hokage, who hadn't finished his dinner yet, suddenly received a notification from Blast at home. Kenshi had been unconscious for ten days, and no matter how they stimulated him, he wouldn't wake up.

"Has he finally collapsed?"

The Third Hokage thought this subconsciously upon hearing the report, then rushed back to the interrogation room with Blast, his face filled with excitement and impatience.

"No one is allowed in without my orders."

Opening the door to the interrogation room, the Third Hokage told Blast and the others, then excitedly entered the interrogation room himself.

Inside the interrogation room, Kenshi was lying quietly on the torture bed, which was also a hospital bed. A needle was inserted into his hand, which was placed by the bed, connected to an IV bag filled with nutrient solution.

Six months of torture had not only driven Kenshi's spirit to collapse, but his body had also collapsed even more severely. Now, he could only survive on nutrient solution.

At this moment, Kenshi looked like he was in his forties or fifties.

His skin was no longer smooth, but thick and rough, as if it had been through decades of weathering.

If you looked closely, you could see a few gray hairs among the hair scattered around the bed.

This wasn't the natural silver hair like Kakashi's. It was the hair aging after the body entered the aging period.

Six months of torture had been mainly focused on destroying his body.

Human cells have a limited number of divisions.

The Third Hokage repeatedly destroyed Kenshi's body, then used medical jutsu to quickly regenerate it, consuming Kenshi's body cell lifespan to an extreme extent.

This was why, after only six months, his body had entered the aging period.

This also showed how terrifying and brutal the torture Kenshi had endured over the past six months.

"Genjutsu - Dark Walk Technique!"

The Third Hokage came to Kenshi's bedside and immediately used a genjutsu on him.

Whether Kenshi's spirit collapsed or not depended on whether his genjutsu was successful.

"Hmm?"

"What's going on?"

The Third Hokage suddenly looked around in shock.

Black!

Unimaginably black!

There was no other color besides black.

"This guy… he actually reflected my Dark Walk Technique?!"

The Third Hokage was shocked with a mixture of confusion. Shouldn't this guy's spirit have collapsed, making him unable to control his own chakra?

Why was his mental consciousness still tightly bound to his own chakra, and even stronger?

The key was, he could actually reflect his genjutsu!

This shocked the Third Hokage. He was the Third Hokage, one of the few ninjas at the pinnacle of the ninja world. Who could reflect genjutsu and make him fall victim to it?

Even the Uchiha clan's three-tomoe or even Mangekyo Sharingan couldn't reflect his genjutsu so easily.

But now, someone who had been tortured for six months, who was supposed to be mentally collapsed, had done it. How could this not shock the Third Hokage?

"Release!"

The Third Hokage quickly formed hand seals, releasing the reflected Genjutsu - Dark Walk Technique.

The darkness dissipated, and the Third Hokage, regaining his vision, looked at Kenshi on the bed, a hint of deep fear flashing in his eyes.

This guy absolutely couldn't be left alive!

He could easily reflect the Dark Walk Technique, which meant this guy had a very high genjutsu talent. Coupled with his talent for immunity to all chakra invasion, the only people in this world who could resist this guy's genjutsu were probably the Uchiha clan's Mangekyo Sharingan users who specialized in genjutsu. No one else could withstand it.

The Third Hokage knew that even with his strength, he couldn't withstand it.

And if he couldn't withstand it, it meant that if he encountered Kenshi in his prime, he would be instantly killed.

Powerful genjutsu-type ninjas were just that unreasonable.

Especially in a one-on-one situation, it was almost certain death.

This kind of guy absolutely couldn't be allowed to leave alive.

But… what if he could get this guy's talent secrets?

Thinking of this, a burning desire flashed in the Third Hokage's eyes.

The ability to make him fear was also something he desired.

But… looking at Kenshi, whose spirit wouldn't collapse no matter how much he tortured him, and who was even possibly getting stronger, the Third Hokage felt a wave of helplessness.

Over the past six months, he had used all kinds of torture methods that could drive people's spirits to collapse. But now, none of them worked. He didn't know how to pry open Kenshi's mental will.

"Continue to torture him?"

The Third Hokage frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"No use."

"If I continue to torture him, this guy will die."

Akemiya Kenshi's body seemed to have only entered the aging period, but it was actually more serious than it looked.

Ran's medical jutsu now took longer and longer to heal Kenshi's injuries.

Sometimes, a wound the size of a willow leaf would take half a day of continuous treatment with the Healing Hands technique to heal.

This showed that Kenshi's body was now on the verge of collapse.

If he continued to use physical torture methods to increase his injuries, Kenshi's body might completely lose its vitality, and no matter how much he used the Healing Hands technique, the wounds wouldn't heal, and he would eventually die.

Although the Third Hokage wouldn't let Kenshi live forever, he didn't want him to die now either.

"How is his body?"

The Third Hokage called Ran in. He wanted to know Kenshi's physical condition, and why he hadn't woken up, and why his mental will hadn't collapsed but had actually gotten stronger?

Ran, who had been treating Kenshi's body for the past six months, knew his condition very well.

Ran explained, "Hokage-sama, he should be in a vegetative state now. His mental will has completely abandoned his body and entered a state of dormancy."

His mental will abandoned his body… did that mean he could explore his memories in his mind?

The Third Hokage's eyes lit up. He thought it was very possible. He immediately told Blast outside to call Yamanaka Inoichi over.
