Heh!
The Third Hokage laughed. If there was a chance, however small, that Kenshi was truly Kenshi, not someone who had possessed Kenshi's body,
Then now, Akemiya Kenshi's confession left the Third Hokage with no doubt.
Akemiya Kenshi didn't know that a person's chakra temperature wasn't necessarily constant.
When a body undergoes a mutation, the chakra would also change accordingly.
At least the Third Hokage knew that during the Wood Release revival project, the experimental subjects who had been implanted with Hashirama-sama's cells, after being eroded by Hashirama-sama's cells, their chakra became completely different, as if they had become a different person.
Just like the change in Akemiya Kenshi's chakra that Minato had perceived.
So, before this, the Third Hokage couldn't be 100% sure that Akemiya Kenshi had been possessed.
It could only be said that Akemiya Kenshi was still young.
Or maybe it was an inevitable result.
After all, Akemiya Kenshi was just someone who had watched anime, and it was a completed anime, Naruto, that had been finished for many years. He couldn't possibly understand the true knowledge of ninjas about various jutsu and chakra in the real ninja world.
The information asymmetry, coupled with the instinct to survive, led Akemiya Kenshi to confess everything.
And this completely cut off his last glimmer of hope.
Having confirmed that he was an enemy, the Third Hokage wouldn't let Akemiya Kenshi leave this interrogation room alive.
How long Akemiya Kenshi could live depended on when he would reveal the improved Spirit Transformation Technique that the Third Hokage wanted to know.
"You... are you telling the truth?" The Third Hokage suddenly asked, frowning.
Akemiya Kenshi quickly replied, "Everything I said is true. I'm really not an enemy of Konoha. I've never even killed a living animal."
Akemiya Kenshi did everything he could to show his harmlessness, to prove that he wasn't an enemy of Konoha. Only then would he have a chance to find a glimmer of hope.
The Third Hokage's frown deepened. Akemiya Kenshi's expression was too real.
Compared to the boy's clumsy acting just now, his expression, tone, and eyes when he spoke just now all revealed that everything he said was true.
The Third Hokage couldn't see any flaws at all.
This meant that the boy was telling the truth.
But that was impossible!
Possession was real, but saying he wasn't a ninja, the Third Hokage wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
If it wasn't the Spirit Transformation Technique, then it was a similar technique.
After all, a civilian couldn't possibly do such a thing.
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage asked, "Do you know a jutsu similar to the Spirit Transformation Technique?"
It didn't matter if it was the Spirit Transformation Technique or not, as long as it was a jutsu that could possess someone else's body and live, he needed it.
Akemiya Kenshi said with a bitter face, "Hokage-sama, I don't even know what the Spirit Transformation Technique is, and I really don't know any jutsu."
"You don't know? Impossible." The Third Hokage subconsciously shook his head. He didn't believe that someone who could possess someone else's body would not know the Spirit Transformation Technique.
But Akemiya Kenshi really didn't know. In his world before he transmigrated, Naruto had been finished for many years. Although he occasionally read some Naruto fan fiction, most of them started with the Uchiha clan, and there was basically no mention of the Spirit Transformation Technique. At least, he had no memory of it.
"Hokage-sama, I'm really just a civilian. I don't know why I woke up in a different body. Maybe... no, I'm definitely a victim. Maybe someone is secretly experimenting with some secret jutsu, that's why I changed bodies. Maybe Akemiya Kenshi isn't dead, he..."
Akemiya Kenshi wanted to say that Akemiya Kenshi's soul might have possessed his body, but thinking about Earth, which was separated by a whole world, he subconsciously stopped.
Deep down, he subconsciously didn't want anyone to know that he was a transmigrator.
But it was precisely this hesitation that made the Third Hokage misunderstand.
He didn't know why Akemiya Kenshi could show such a huge difference in acting skills. All he knew was that Akemiya Kenshi wasn't telling the whole truth.
But it didn't matter.
As long as he was sure that the current Akemiya Kenshi had been possessed.
After all, the Third Hokage didn't expect the enemy to be so honest and easily confess everything.
"Just eat."
The Third Hokage said meaningfully, then stood up and left.
Hearing the Third Hokage's words, Akemiya Kenshi felt an unprecedented surge of joy. He thought that the Third Hokage had let him go.
Just as he was about to thank the Third Hokage loudly, he suddenly realized that his hands were still bound, and the lunchbox was on the ground in front of him. He couldn't reach it.
Akemiya Kenshi realized that the Third Hokage didn't believe him, or maybe he didn't intend to let him go.
Sure enough, after the Third Hokage left, an Anbu ninja walked in.
Akemiya Kenshi's heart instantly tensed up. He watched the Anbu ninja walk towards him step by step. He quickly shouted that he really wasn't an enemy of Konoha, that he was also framed, that he was innocent.
Akemiya Kenshi cried out loudly, tears streaming down his face. He even felt a surge of urgency in his lower body.
Akemiya Kenshi's fear was completely evident.
There was no way around it. He was just a worker who had grown up in a peaceful society. Facing death, his fear was intense.
"Huh?"
"You're not going to kill me?"
The Anbu walked up to Akemiya Kenshi, not to kill him, but to pick up the chopsticks next to the lunchbox and hand him a piece of sushi.
Akemiya Kenshi's expression of shouting and crying instantly froze, then he was filled with joy again. He quickly took a bite of the sushi.
You're not going to kill me!
You're not going to kill me!
Akemiya Kenshi muttered to himself while eating the sushi. At this moment, for some reason, the taste of the sushi was unbelievably delicious. He was completely immersed in this delicious food.
In a short while, he finished the sushi.
The Anbu ninja took the sushi lunchbox and left, without saying a word to Akemiya Kenshi. Akemiya Kenshi didn't dare to say anything either.
After waiting for a while, the Third Hokage came in, accompanied by two Anbu ninjas.
The two Anbu ninjas were pushing a bed similar to the emergency beds in hospitals in his previous life, with wheels for easy movement.
There was also a toolbox, or perhaps a medical kit, on the bed.
Hmm... wait?
This definitely wasn't a hospital, and he wasn't sick. Where did the medical kit come from? Where did the bed come from?
Akemiya Kenshi's heart suddenly trembled violently, and his eyes became cold. He seemed to realize something.
The Third Hokage picked up the medical kit on the bed, glanced at Akemiya Kenshi, and smiled slightly, raising the corners of his mouth.
"Carry him up."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The two Anbu walked over and untied the shackles on Akemiya Kenshi's hands and feet.
Akemiya Kenshi's face was filled with terror. He finally realized that the Third Hokage was preparing to torture him.
"Hokage-sama, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you. I really didn't lie to you. Everything I said is true."
"Please believe me, Hokage-sama!"
The Third Hokage just watched Akemiya Kenshi calmly, without saying anything. The two Anbu didn't stop either. One on each side, they carried Akemiya Kenshi onto the bed, or perhaps the torture bed.
Akemiya Kenshi's eyes turned red, and he went crazy. He struggled desperately.
But he had just finished eating, and his body hadn't had time to digest and convert it into energy. He had no strength at all. His struggle didn't feel like anything to the two Anbu ninjas.
Soon, Akemiya Kenshi was pressed onto the torture bed, his legs, hands, and waist were tightly bound with tough bandages.
"Hokage-sama, whatever you want to ask, I'll tell you. Don't torture me. I'll confess everything. Please don't torture me."
"Please, Hokage-sama, I'm not a bad guy. I'm a good guy!"
Akemiya Kenshi continued to plead with the Third Hokage not to torture him. He was just an ordinary person. He would cry out in pain even when getting an injection at the hospital. He really couldn't withstand the torture he had seen in movies and TV shows.
Besides, he had already told the truth. Why didn't the Third Hokage believe him?
Akemiya Kenshi collapsed, struggling on the bed, his eyes pleading for the Third Hokage's mercy.
The Third Hokage's face didn't show any sign of pity.
Having experienced the cruel end of the Warring States Period and the brutal First Shinobi World War, and having seen what death was, the Third Hokage had no mercy for his enemies.
In his eyes, Akemiya Kenshi, who had invaded Konoha and possessed Kenshi's body, was an enemy of Konoha.
There was nothing wrong with doing anything to an enemy.
