Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

In the void of darkness, five human-shaped flames danced vividly, as if they were real people.

One of the flames, which was moving away from the others, was far brighter and hotter than the other four.

"That must be the Third Hokage!"

"Only he has such a powerful and condensed amount of chakra!"

Kenshi's whispered voice echoed in the void of darkness.

At this moment, Kenshi was in a very peculiar state of being.

He was formless and intangible, able to feel that he was alive, but without a body.

The past six months of torture had truly been a living hell.

He had thought that as the torture continued, his body would develop a greater tolerance for pain, or gradually lose its sense of pain and other external injuries, becoming numb, no longer tormented by pain and other sensations.

But he didn't know if it was because his consciousness had mutated after transmigration and was tightly fused with his body, his body hadn't become numb. No matter how the Third Hokage tortured him, his senses remained sharp.

His pain tolerance had indeed increased quite a bit.

But this increase wasn't enough to make him immune to all pain sensations.

So, in the end, Kenshi's mental will gradually collapsed and fell silent under the long torture. Finally, in a way Kenshi hadn't expected, he completely abandoned his body and entered his chakra.

His soul and chakra fused into a special chakra energy body life form.

Now, he could no longer feel the existence of his body at all.

He had no sight, no pain, no smell, no sense of anything his body had given him.

In a way, Kenshi was liberated. He no longer had to endure endless torture.

At first, Kenshi thought that his soul, mental will, and spirit would just remain silent and unaware until death.

But the chakra energy body life form gave him a sense of perception different from his physical senses.

"Chakra perception!"

Kenshi could accurately perceive the chakra within a twenty-meter radius around his body.

If it was a ninja, it would appear as a human-shaped flame.

Those human-shaped flames were the chakra states of others that he perceived.

The brightness and condensation of the flames represented the amount of chakra a person had.

And the intensity of the heat represented the chakra's strength, or quality.

Ninja chakra might seem the same, but its quality and strength are different.

The same Fire Release jutsu, released by a ninja with higher chakra quality and strength, would have a much higher temperature and be much more violent.

Conversely, a ninja with lower chakra quality and strength would release a Fire Release jutsu with a much lower flame temperature.

This is the difference in chakra quality and strength.

By comparison, Kenshi could roughly determine that the human-shaped flame moving away from him was the Third Hokage.

Because the Third Hokage's chakra, both in quality and quantity, was much stronger than the four Anbu ninjas who had been guarding him.

Not long after the Third Hokage left, Ran came in to check on Kenshi's condition and treat the wounds left by the Third Hokage's probing of his body.

After that, Ran inserted the IV bag filled with nutrient solution, ensuring that Kenshi's body stayed alive.

The whole process, Kenshi "watched" in the void of darkness with his chakra perception. He couldn't see the IV bag or his body, but he could tell what Ran was doing to him from the movements of Ran's chakra human-shaped flame.

"Oh, he's not going to kill me!"

"Heh!"

Kenshi instantly made a judgment, then his consciousness fluctuated and laughed. It was a cold laugh, a cruel laugh.

Kenshi's thoughts were active. In his current state, he wasn't afraid of any physical torture. Any attacks on his soul and consciousness were useless.

Any genjutsu targeting chakra wouldn't work on him.

So, as long as he couldn't break through his chakra's defenses, there was no way to harm his soul.

Unless the Third Hokage was willing to use a sealing jutsu like the Reaper Death Seal to deal with him, he could harm his soul and kill him.

But if he wanted to kill him, there was no need to use the Reaper Death Seal, which would cost a life for a life.

After all, the Reaper Death Seal, a sealing jutsu of that level, could only be learned by at least Jōnin-level ninjas.

The Third Hokage wouldn't be willing to use a Jōnin to die with Kenshi.

Because killing Kenshi was very simple. Just kill his current body.

Although Kenshi's soul and consciousness had completely merged into his chakra, becoming a special chakra energy body life form.

But his chakra originated from this body.

His current chakra energy body life form was still connected to his body.

It was somewhat similar to the symbiotic relationship between a jinchūriki and a tailed beast.

If the body died, without a source of chakra input, his chakra energy body life form exposed to the environment wouldn't be able to survive for long.

As for whether he could possess someone else's body like the body possession ability that the Third Hokage had been trying to get from him, Kenshi wasn't sure.

But if this body died in the end, he would try.

Because he wanted to live, not just to live for the sake of living. He simply wanted to get revenge on the Third Hokage.

Just dying like this, letting the Third Hokage live as long as he did in the original story, and even have children and grandchildren, and even create a legion of ninjas for his Sarutobi clan.

Akemiya Kenshi wouldn't allow this beautiful picture to come true. He wanted to destroy it completely.

So, if he could live, he would definitely live.

Now, from Ran's actions, Kenshi could tell that he wouldn't die for the time being.

So, the next thing was how to continue living.

And, how to escape alive.

Akemiya Kenshi pondered, while simultaneously exploring some of his abilities in his current chakra energy body state.

He couldn't perceive his body.

But he could still perceive the body energy naturally emanating from his body cells.

The same was true for his mental energy. His soul consciousness, which had merged with his chakra, would also naturally emanate mental energy.

That meant he could still condense chakra.

For the past six months, Kenshi had been tortured by the Third Hokage, and he had no energy to condense new chakra.

Now, in his vegetative state, he could finally condense chakra peacefully.

As the saying goes, no matter what he wanted to do, in this ninja world, without a certain amount of chakra, he couldn't do anything. He would just be a lamb to the slaughter.

"Hmm!"

The moment he condensed chakra, a shadow of gloom settled over Kenshi's heart.

The chakra sealing jutsu on his body was still there. The new chakra he condensed would also be sealed, like solidified concrete. Kenshi couldn't control it at all.

Without being able to control his chakra, he was just an ordinary person. No matter how much chakra he had, it was useless.

"I have to find a way to undo the seal on my body."

"And it has to be a way to undo the seal while the Third Hokage and the Anbu ninjas can't see it."

"How to do it?"

Akemiya Kenshi pondered. He couldn't find the answer from "Kenshi's" memories. He could only find some knowledge and wild guesses about sealing jutsu from his past life memories, and see if he could find any helpful information.

At the same time, Kenshi used his special chakra perception ability to perceive the chakra on the sealing jutsu.

That's right.

Akemiya Kenshi could perceive the chakra on the sealing jutsu.

The chakra on the sealing jutsu was different from his chakra, and it was also different from the chakra of the four Anbu ninjas surrounding him.

This gave Kenshi some ideas.
