Chapter 23: The Night of Ogre Riots
---
"Kisuke! What are you doing? Hurry up and follow the team!"
The leader was a chuunin. He saw Kisuke running over from the darkness and greeted him without thinking much. He didn't know that the real Kisuke was lying dead and that the current Kisuke was an imposter.
"Okay, okay."
"Why do you seem off today?"
Muzan, who was pretending to be Kisuke, didn't say much to avoid suspicion. He only needed to follow the patrol route and stay close to the captain. Along the way, everyone noticed that Kisuke was unusually silent, assuming he was in a bad mood.
Not long after, a group of team members arrived to switch defenses with them. Muzan took the opportunity to switch with one of the newcomers, giving him time to find his teammates.
The entire Kumogakure camp wasn't very large. Except for the central area, the place where prisoners were detained and interrogated was located on the left side of the base camp.
"He need to be careful; this is close to the command post."
To obtain information quickly and because the prisoner interrogation area was crucial for preventing Konoha from rescuing their comrades, it was situated near the command post.
As Muzan approached the area, he heard a voice he recognized without thinking.
The father of rock music in the ninja world, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tailed Jinchūriki.
With Killer Bee present, it would be impossible for Muzan to sneak in and rescue the two by force, but it might provide an opportunity.
He intended to create chaos in the entire Kumogakure camp, making it easier to achieve his objective.
"The war is really an opportunity for me."
At this time, Muzan's hand transformed into a strange state, with his entire arm enlarging and several mouths appearing, making chewing movements.
Tonight, he would unleash chaos in the enemy's base camp, using his abilities to cause a riot among the Kumogakure forces.
The intensity of Muzan's flesh-and-blood invasion was something ordinary ninjas couldn't resist, so there was no need to hide. It was night, and his current identity was fake.
"Kisuke, what are you doing here?"
Muzan was called out and turned to look at the approaching figure. The other person suddenly stiffened and looked at Muzan with horror.
"You, you, you! What's wrong with you!"
At this time, Muzan no longer had a human face. His body was covered with mouths, looking like a monster from hell. The moment Muzan showed his fangs, the other person screamed!
"Ahhh!"
In an instant, all the ninjas in the camp were alerted. Given their proximity to the fighting area, their first reaction was that Konoha had launched an attack.
But when they arrived, they witnessed a horrifying scene.
A monster was savagely biting a corpse. Judging by the clothes, the monster was a member of the Kumogakure patrol.
"What the hell is happening? Go and stop him!"
"Quick, quick! Pull this monster away and I'll report it!"
"No, monsters have appeared elsewhere, and they are attacking us!"
The entire camp descended into chaos, even alarming the AB team.
Looking at the chaotic camp, they assumed it was a Konoha ploy. But then a panicked shinobi rushed over, terror written on his face.
"Sir, undead monsters have appeared in our camp, and they are attacking our people!"
Just as he finished speaking, a blood-covered man rushed over. From his clothes, it was clear he was a Kumogakure ninja, but he had gone mad!
"Boom!"
Killer Bee did not hold back, punching the man in the chest. Blood spilled out, revealing beating internal organs, but the monster didn't stop attacking.
"What kind of monster is this?"
A, with his bad temper, rushed forward. His fists were harder than Killer Bee's, and with two punches, he ripped off the monster's head.
The ogre's attack stopped, but the body quickly began repairing itself. It wouldn't be long before the monsters could stand up again.
Even as A lifted the head, he saw fangs in the mouth. This kind of monster had a human face, but it wasn't human.
Killer Bee examined the creature closely, wanting to touch it, but A stopped him. Who knew if it was contagious.
"More terrifying than the First Hokage's healing power."
"Leaving these immortal monsters in the camp is not an option. Unfortunately, we in Kumogakure are not good at sealing techniques. We'll tie them up with ropes and send them to the village during the day."
Following Killer Bee's order, the ninjas who turned into monsters were not very strong. Under the leadership of the Jonin, they were detained.
After experiencing the instinct of cannibal violence, many people regained their senses. They couldn't believe they had turned into monsters and eaten their comrades.
"Are you kidding? How could I attack my comrades? there is some misunderstanding!"
"Asshole! Let me go, I'm your captain!"
"Damn it, why do I have a bloodthirsty desire in my heart? Ah!"
After the initial panic, people began to realize they had an uncontrollable urge to eat, even if the targets were their former comrades. They eventually accepted the fact that they would go crazy and eat people.
As the instigator, Muzan sneaked into the interrogation room during the chaos and found many Konoha ninjas. Most were dead, and the rest were tortured to the point of disgrace.
But he didn't find Anko and Mari. Could it be they weren't captured? Muzan hesitated to leave. As for why he didn't save the others, he didn't have the ability.
More than ten ninjas were imprisoned. They were physically and mentally broken from prolonged torture.
If Muzan took them to escape and they were discovered, not only would they fail, but Muzan would also be in danger.
"Ahem, you must be from Konoha. Please kill us. We can't endure the torture any longer."
A bloody figure reached out and grabbed Muzan. For a moment, Muzan hesitated.
Looking at the trapped ninjas, they were also from Konoha. Now, they couldn't leave and were subject to constant torture.
"Okay, everyone, have a good journey. In the next battle, I will kill a few more Kumogakure ninjas."
The extending thorns acted like blades, capable of killing quickly and painlessly. As the corpses fell, Muzan closed his eyes.
This was war. At most, he could only cause riots, but it wouldn't overthrow Kumogakure.
After dealing with the situation, Muzan heard a noise from outside just as he was about to leave.
