Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

Inside the interrogation room.

Yamanaka Inoichi saw Kenshi again, and his heart skipped a beat. Looking at Kenshi, who had aged almost decades, Inoichi was shocked and secretly worried.

It was clear that the Third Hokage was torturing Kenshi so much, which meant that Kenshi had a secret that the Third Hokage cared about very much.

This secret, obviously, the Third Hokage didn't want to share with anyone else.

But the Third Hokage didn't know the secret technique to explore someone else's brain memories, and he didn't have the talent to learn it. This was quite frustrating.

If he could, Yamanaka Inoichi really didn't want to get involved in this mess.

He didn't immediately take action. Instead, he turned to the Third Hokage, wanting to say, "You should get someone else to do this."

But before he could speak, the Third Hokage patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly, "You're the person I trust most."

Well.

With those words out, Yamanaka Inoichi had no way out. He had to bite the bullet.

He immediately formed hand seals, then placed his right hand on Kenshi's head and began to explore his brain.

This time, it went smoothly.

Kenshi's brain was no longer protected by chakra. Yamanaka Inoichi's chakra quickly invaded the brain region, beginning to read the memories recorded in the brain cells.

Kenshi's body's memories only went back to when he was about seven years old.

The entire exploration process wasn't long.

From birth, Kenshi's memories, or rather the memories of this body, began to appear in Yamanaka Inoichi's mind, viewing everything that Kenshi had experienced from the perspective of "I."

One year old, two years old…

The early memories were normal, until the night half a year ago, when Kenshi received news of his parents' death. That's when the anomaly appeared.

In the memory, the night he learned of his parents' death, Kenshi was extremely sad and heartbroken. He sat on the couch, holding a family photo, until very late, and then fell asleep on the couch.

Then, something unusual happened.

The next day, Kenshi woke up as if he had changed into a different person. He became a little excited, a little scared, and didn't dare to go out. The words he occasionally spoke were also incomprehensible.

The most common word was "The Fuck?," Yamanaka Inoichi didn't know what it meant, but he felt it was probably used to express shock.

A boy who had just learned of his parents' death the night before, was extremely sad, and went to sleep very late, just spent one night, slept for one night, and then something happened that made him suddenly very shocked?

Yamanaka Inoichi didn't know, but he had a rough guess that something might be wrong with Kenshi, and it was a big problem that the Third Hokage was very interested in.

He didn't think of body possession and reincarnation.

He didn't know much about the Spirit Transformation Technique, and he didn't know that the Spirit Transformation Technique could also be used for body possession and reincarnation.

In fact, not many people in the entire ninja world knew that the Spirit Transformation Technique also possessed the ability to possess and reincarnate. Currently, probably only the Third Hokage and Danzo knew, and the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure might also know.

"I'm done, Hokage-sama."

After seeing the memory of Kenshi being taken away by the Anbu, Yamanaka Inoichi stopped on his own initiative. He put away his hands. The Third Hokage knew the rest of the memories anyway.

"Any useful information?"

The Third Hokage asked calmly, but his eyes were fixed on Yamanaka Inoichi.

This made Yamanaka Inoichi a little nervous, but he quickly thought it over carefully. There were no omissions in Kenshi's memories. He calmed down and told the Third Hokage about the unusual parts of Kenshi's memories one by one.

"Nothing else?" The Third Hokage frowned, his eyes suddenly sharp, as he looked at Yamanaka Inoichi and asked, "For example, did he use any special jutsu?"

"No, Hokage-sama."

Yamanaka Inoichi quickly shook his head nervously. Then, he remembered something and said hesitantly, "But he read his father's research notes on the Perfect Transformation Technique, I don't know if that counts as a special jutsu?"

After saying this, Yamanaka Inoichi lowered his head slightly, and cold sweat began to appear on his back. He sensed that the Third Hokage was dissatisfied with his answer. He obviously didn't get the answer he wanted, but that was all the memories in Kenshi's brain. He couldn't help it.

"Perfect Transformation Technique?"

Hearing the name of this jutsu, the Third Hokage paused for a moment, then quickly remembered that it was the jutsu that Akemyia Takuya had researched, but he hadn't succeeded in the end. He only managed to develop the Shadow Clone Technique.

This wasn't the perfect Spirit Transformation Technique he wanted.

But… the Third Hokage saw that Yamanaka Inoichi didn't seem to be lying, and he had no reason or courage to lie to him. Thinking of this, he frowned even more deeply.

This didn't make sense!

Once a body possession jutsu was used to possess a body, it would definitely be sealed again to solidify the soul. This was a necessary step. Even the most improved perfect Spirit Transformation Technique couldn't possibly skip this step, right?

The Third Hokage couldn't understand.

Did the perfect Spirit Transformation Technique not need this step?

If that was the case, then the only way to know the improved perfect Spirit Transformation Technique was to invade this guy's chakra.

There are two ways to explore memories: exploring them from brain cells and exploring them from chakra.

Exploring memories from chakra would allow you to obtain all the memories of Kenshi, who had possessed Kenshi's body.

But Kenshi's chakra was simply impossible to invade.

After six months of torture, he thought that by collapsing his body and spirit, he could invade Kenshi's chakra. But it turned out to be even harder to invade.

The Third Hokage knew in his heart that this wouldn't work. If he couldn't invade Kenshi's chakra, then there was basically no way.

At least, he couldn't think of any way to invade Kenshi's chakra right now.

"Sigh!"

The Third Hokage sighed with disappointment, then patted Yamanaka Inoichi on the shoulder and said, "Inoichi, you can go back now. Remember, I don't want anyone else to know about tonight's events except you and me."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I understand."

Yamanaka Inoichi felt relieved. He secretly thought, "I don't have to endure the pressure from the Third Hokage anymore." He then respectfully left the interrogation room.

After Yamanaka Inoichi left, the Third Hokage took a long needle and probed Kenshi's body. After confirming that he had truly become a mindless vegetable, he completely gave up the idea of wasting any more time on him.

The remaining question was whether to kill Kenshi or… keep him alive.

After all, the secrets he held were also worth it.

Why could Kenshi's mental will merge with his chakra so completely, almost like a tailed beast?

Tailed beasts are essentially chakra aggregates, not flesh and blood like humans.

Their consciousness is born from chakra, and they are one with chakra.

This is why there is the saying that a jinchūriki can have their tailed beast extracted, and the jinchūriki will die.

The reason is here. The tailed beast chakra sealed inside the jinchūriki's body is fused with the jinchūriki's own chakra.

This means that the tailed beast's soul will also be fused with the human soul.

Once a tailed beast is extracted from a jinchūriki's body, it will also take away most of the jinchūriki's soul.

A jinchūriki who has lost most of their soul will basically die within a few hours.

So, tailed beasts, whose wills are also highly fused with chakra, are generally difficult to control with genjutsu, just like Kenshi, who is difficult to invade with other people's genjutsu chakra.

In the entire ninja world, only the genjutsu cast by the Uchiha clan's Mangekyo Sharingan can control tailed beasts. Other ninjas' genjutsu have little effect on tailed beasts.

This is also why the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is so scary and feared.

Thinking of the Uchiha, the Third Hokage's eyes flickered.

For the past six months, his mind had been focused on researching how to invade Kenshi's chakra, and he hadn't paid as much attention to the Uchiha clan as he used to.

This made the Uchiha clan think he was cowardly and afraid.

Over the past six months, the Uchiha clan had become more and more outrageous. They actually wanted to get their hands on the annual financial funds that the Daimyo granted to Konoha.

This was the biggest proof of why the Hokage was the Hokage, the recognition from the Daimyo.

Now, the Uchiha wanted to intervene in the finances, which showed their true intentions.

"It seems like it's time to put Root to good use!"

Thinking this, the Third Hokage looked at Kenshi on the bed, who was motionless, then turned and left.

Kenshi was still useful.

Although the perfect body possession jutsu was difficult to obtain, if he could research the special tailed beast chakra state in him and develop corresponding jutsu, it would definitely be a jutsu that could restrain the Uchiha clan even better than the Dark Walk Technique.

Then… hmm!

He would definitely make the Uchiha clan pay a heavy price.

"That was… the Third Hokage?"
