Night.
The Third Hokage returned home and ate dinner with his wife. Then, he brought a plate of sashimi sushi that his wife had specially prepared for him to interrogation room number three at the Anbu headquarters.
Sniff!
Sniff!
Akemiya Kenshi, who had been unconscious from hunger, sniffed twice with his nose and woke up. But his eyes were still closed. This time, he didn't even have the strength to open his eyelids.
Creak... As the door opened, the alluring aroma of rice and fresh fish wafted into his nostrils, stimulating Akemiya Kenshi's stomach, which hadn't eaten anything for a day.
Stomach acid instantly seeped out. The stomach lining, which had been completely dry, couldn't withstand the sudden increase in stomach acid. A wave of corrosive pain came from his stomach, like burning flames.
Humph... Unable to speak, Kenshi could only let out a series of painful groans from his nostrils.
The Third Hokage turned around and closed the door. He walked alone to Kenshi's side and placed the open lunchbox in front of him.
The alluring aroma of rice and fish suddenly intensified, continuously stimulating Kenshi's stomach lining to secrete stomach acid, causing him unbearable pain, like the scorching pain of the sun.
The Third Hokage watched Kenshi, who was suffering from stomach acid.
After a while, the excruciating pain and hunger brought Kenshi to the brink of collapse, both physically and mentally.
The Third Hokage watched quietly. Just as Kenshi was about to pass out, he quickly formed hand seals.
"Genjutsu - Dark Walk Technique!"
Illusory genjutsu chakra instantly penetrated into Kenshi's body, trying to infiltrate his chakra.
Bang!
As expected, even though Kenshi's physical body was on the verge of collapsing mentally and passing out, his chakra consciousness instantly rejected the intrusion and penetration of the Third Hokage's genjutsu chakra.
"Even when mentally exhausted, it doesn't work!"
The Third Hokage lowered his hand, his brows furrowed, his tone as if he was regretful and disappointed, but the light in his eyes became even more intense.
From last night to now, a whole day and night.
The Third Hokage had specifically instructed Blast not to let the boy fall asleep, and he hadn't eaten anything. Now, the boy's mental and physical states were on the verge of collapse.
Even in this state, the boy could still easily resist the Dark Walk Technique, a genjutsu of this level. The Third Hokage was certain.
At least, the three-tomoe Sharingan genjutsu was already useless against this boy.
As for whether he could resist Mangekyo Sharingan-level genjutsu... to be honest, the Third Hokage wasn't sure.
From what he understood, each pair of Mangekyo Sharingan had different abilities, with varying focuses. If he encountered a Mangekyo Sharingan that focused on genjutsu, the Third Hokage thought that the boy probably wouldn't be able to resist it, but he might be able to resist the others.
After all, the Mangekyo Sharingan is called the power of the gods for a reason, it can't be judged by ordinary logic.
But even so, the boy's ability to resist all genjutsu below the Mangekyo Sharingan was enough to make people envious.
"Release!"
The Third Hokage formed a hand seal with one hand, releasing the immobilization jutsu on Akemiya Kenshi.
Since he had already confirmed that memory exploration jutsu and genjutsu were ineffective against Akemiya Kenshi, the only way left for the Third Hokage to uncover the improved Spirit Transformation Technique was to ask questions, the simplest method.
"Ah..."
The moment his body regained movement, Akemiya Kenshi immediately tightened his stomach, crying out in pain.
"Eat."
The Third Hokage personally picked up a piece of sushi with chopsticks and brought it to Akemiya Kenshi's mouth. Akemiya Kenshi's body instinctively took a bite, almost breaking the chopsticks.
Gulp!
Soon, the piece of sushi went down his throat and quickly entered his stomach.
Instantly, the large amount of stomach acid secreted by his stomach lining was like a swarm of bees encountering sweet honey, rushing towards it.
"Whew!"
Akemiya Kenshi let out a long sigh. The scorching pain caused by the stomach acid gradually subsided, and he finally had the energy to pay attention to his surroundings.
"Eat."
At this time, a warm voice echoed, and a pair of chopsticks holding a piece of sushi appeared in front of Kenshi. He instinctively swallowed it, then immediately looked up.
The man looked like a middle-aged man, somewhat resembling a monkey, with a pair of eyes that were as lively as a monkey's, but also gave off a sense of calmness.
This is a wise man.
Kenshi instantly thought this.
The man was wearing a straw hat, with a large red "Fire" character on it, very conspicuous.
He was wearing a long white and gray robe.
This outfit, even though Kenshi didn't have many memories of the Third Hokage's appearance from his previous life, he instantly recognized him as the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, through the information he had learned in his previous life.
The moment he recognized him, Kenshi reacted quickly. He didn't show a surprised expression at encountering the Third Hokage here, because last night, through the conversation between the Third Hokage and one of the others, Akemiya Kenshi had already learned that it was the Third Hokage who had captured him.
He needed to show a confused expression, as if he didn't know why he was here, and ask the Third Hokage.
"Hokage-sama, why did you bring me here? Did I commit any crime?"
His words could be a question, his tone should express an instinctive respect or fear towards the Third Hokage, highlighting the image of an innocent person who had been wronged.
However... Kenshi's thoughts were good, but reality was cruel.
His self-proclaimed oscar-level acting skills were like a clown playing a hero in front of a seasoned veteran like the Third Hokage, he saw through it instantly.
This was the Third Hokage's evaluation of Akemiya Kenshi's performance.
He didn't bother to test him further, and directly asked, "Tell me, who are you?"
Facing the Third Hokage's certainty that he wasn't Kenshi, Akemiya Kenshi's face changed. Then, pretending not to understand the Third Hokage's implication, he honestly replied, "Hokage-sama, my name is Kenshi. I live at number three, Tobirama Street, north of the village."
Heh!
Seeing that Kenshi was still trying to deceive him even at this point, the Third Hokage sneered coldly. He really wouldn't give up until he saw the coffin.
The Third Hokage sneered, "I'll ask you one last time, who are you? How many hand seals are there in the improved Spirit Transformation Technique? How does your chakra circulate? Tell me everything, don't try to get away with it. I already know your secret."
"I am Kenshi! Hokage-sama, what Spirit Transformation Technique? I don't know anything about it!"
Akemiya Kenshi was dumbfounded. He was truly dumbfounded. Why was the Third Hokage so certain that he knew about the improved Spirit Transformation Technique, and asking him how many hand seals there were and how his chakra circulated?
How would he know?
All he knew was that he had to insist on his identity as Kenshi.
"Do you really think that no one noticed that you possessed the body of that child, Akemiya Kenshi?"
"Don't you know that everyone's chakra is different?"
Seeing that Akemiya Kenshi was still unconvinced, the Third Hokage sneered again, explaining how Minato had discovered that his chakra temperature was different from Akemiya Kenshi's, and how he later tested and found that their daily habits and eating habits were different.
"I..." Akemiya Kenshi opened his mouth, but remained silent in the end.
He could insist that his eating habits were different because his parents had passed away and he was confused for a while, but he was fine now.
But facing evidence like chakra temperature, which was comparable to DNA verification, Akemiya Kenshi knew that it was useless to argue and insist on his identity as Kenshi. The Third Hokage wouldn't believe him.
Thinking of this, Akemiya Kenshi's mind became dizzy.
Heh... Akemiya Kenshi's lips trembled, unconsciously letting out a low, desperate laugh.
He didn't expect...
He didn't expect...
To be caught by six-year-old Minato.
Akemiya Kenshi had already realized that the reason he was captured was that Minato had discovered his identity as a fake who had possessed his friend, and then reported him to the Third Hokage. This was why he was in this desperate situation now.
He thought that he had secretly vowed to become stronger yesterday, to change the future where Minato and Kushina died tragically, to become Hokage, and to bring peace to the ninja world.
And then... he was reported that night.
It was ridiculous to think about.
It was like... no, it was a dream.
He wasn't Akemiya Kenshi, and he couldn't be Akemiya Kenshi. He was just an a random soul who had possessed Akemiya Kenshi's body.
Facing an enemy, Minato reporting him was understandable.
But... why was there a feeling of wanting to destroy everything in his heart?
Akemiya Kenshi remained silent, his mind filled with thoughts. In the end, he was filled with a sense of unwillingness. He looked at the Third Hokage. He didn't want to die, he wanted to try to save himself.
Akemiya Kenshi said, "Hokage-sama, I'm not Akemiya Kenshi, but I'm not an enemy of Konoha either. I'm not even a ninja. I don't know how I suddenly woke up in a different body."
