Chapter 32: chapter 32: Torture
[Read the new novel Naruto: Fire-Release system on webnovel]

"Be careful!"
The Kirigakure Anbu member who was skilled in perception saw Bai Shi's actions and immediately raised a warning.
However, Bai Shi's movements were too fast. Although he could not clasp his hands together like Hashirama Senju and make whatever he shouted come true, he was still able to perform three to five seals for his ninjutsu.
Additionally, his [Agility] attribute was as high as 17 points, which was several times that of ordinary people.
Therefore, the speed at which he formed seals was much faster than that of normal ninjas. Combining the two, the result was not much different from instant casting.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to kill the two Kirigakure Anbu members instantly just moments ago.
And it was the same now. Without waiting for the other party to react, he had already performed his ninjutsu.
"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"
In an instant, countless vines emerged from the ground like dragons, and under Bai Shi's control, they attacked the Kirigakure Anbu members.
The members of the Kirigakure Anbu, who had never experienced such an exceptional ninjutsu, seemed a little helpless for a moment and could only keep dodging under the relentless assault of the vines.
Thanks to the growth of his [Intelligence] attribute over the past six months, Bai Shi gained stronger control over this ninjutsu.
This ability manifested externally as the capability to perform multiple actions simultaneously. At times he controlled many vines to attack one person, while at other moments he directed different vines to assault different targets. In short, it appeared to be extremely flexible.
It was precisely because of this that the Mist Village Anbu could not find an opportunity to break the situation with their own ninjutsu.
As the saying goes, if you defend for too long, you will lose. After dodging the vines' stranglehold several times in a row, some members of the Mist Hidden Anbu with weaker physical fitness were finally captured by Bai Shi's tactics.
With a few horrified screams, they were completely devoured, turning into mere nutrients for the forest, leaving not even a corpse behind.
The killing continued. Bai Shi concentrated his mental strength, persistently controlling the vines to attack the surviving Kirigakure Anbu members again and again.
After a few more screams, there were fewer than ten survivors among the Kirigakure Anbu, but these remained formidable fighters.
Feeling the limited chakra in his body, Bai Shi glanced at the few who were gradually stabilizing themselves and whispered to himself, "You are lucky this time."
Although he was angry, he did not lose his temper.
He was not at full capacity when he came down the mountain this time. Not only was his mind exhausted due to prolonged training, but the chakra in his body was also only about 50% of its peak. Achieving the current results was already a struggle, and it would be unwise to continue fighting.
'It's time to retreat.'
Thinking this in his mind, Bai Shi planned to leave.
However, before departing, he still had one thing to do.
After using Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World, he suddenly approached one of the Anbu, binding him in place without letting the Kirigakure Anbu recover.
The next moment, the self-binding seal activated, fixing him in place so he couldn't move.
Seeing this, several other members of the Kirigakure Anbu rushed to attack Bai Shi before they could even regain their footing.
With a faint glance at the kunai and shuriken flying toward him, as well as at the individuals forming seals not far away, Bai Shi activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In an instant, he and the Kirigakure Anbu beside him disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this scene, the pupils of the leading Kirigakure ANBU suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "Flying Thunder God Technique? What on earth is going on?"
The rest of the Kirigakure Anbu were equally surprised. This was both the Wood Release and Flying Thunder God Technique, leaving them bewildered.
"Oh, and there are thorns!"
Thinking of the 'thorn' taken by Bai Shi earlier, the leader of the Kirigakure Anbu wanted to instruct the companion skilled in perception to search, but after a quick glance, they found that the other party had died at some point.
Bai Shi had noticed the guy who warned the others earlier and naturally would not let him go. Under his special attention, he was strangled to death at the very beginning.
Without sensory ninjas and no targets to search for, the remaining Mist ninjas had no choice but to give up the rescue.
At this moment, the concealment of the Flying Thunder God Technique was fully demonstrated.
Even though he could only teleport as far as one kilometer at most now, who would know if he didn't say it?
Just like now; he was clearly on the top of a mountain not far away, but the Kirigakure Anbu below had no idea where he had gone.
Of course, he couldn't stay here for long. If the Kirigakure Anbu quickly confirmed that he was not in the village, they might suspect he was in the nearby mountains. While they might not immediately identify his location, it would still pose a hidden danger.
Therefore, he had to get away from here as soon as possible.
······
**Above the Mountain.**
Looking at the Kirigakure Anbu who was knocked unconscious, Bai Shi frowned and broke his hands once more.
This way, it would be impossible for him to form seals, and the danger would be relatively smaller.
After doing all this, Bai Shi simply gathered his belongings, then carried the unconscious Anbu on his back and ran away.
The moon set and the sun rose; in the blink of an eye, daylight broke.
Facing the rising sun, Bai Shi wiped the sweat from his face and threw the Kirigakure ANBU off his shoulder onto the ground.
After a moment, he said calmly, "Now that you are awake, don't pretend to be asleep."
However, the Kirigakure ANBU on the ground did not react at all.
Seeing this, Bai Shi chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm lying to you? Haha~, don't pretend. Although you hid it well, the sudden change in your breathing frequency can't escape me."
This time, the other party was no longer unresponsive.
As soon as Bai Shi finished speaking, the Anbu opened his eyes and sat up on his own.
Without waiting for Bai Shi to speak, he asked first, "Who are you?"
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Bai Shi, as if trying to glean something from him.
"Haha~, don't forget your current situation."
Bai Shi did not answer the other party's question. Instead, he reminded him of his current predicament and then asked, "What's your name?"
Silence fell.
"You won't tell me?"
Bai Shi murmured, taking a step forward. "Then don't blame me for being cruel!"
However, before he could finish his words, the Kirigakure ANBU lunged at him, attempting to bite his throat.
There was only a "crack" sound, and while Bai Shi's throat remained unbroken, the teeth of the Kirigakure Anbu shattered.
"As expected, even without the ability to cast hand seals, ANBU ninjas are still very dangerous."
Bai Shi's voice suddenly came from behind.
The Anbu wanted to turn around, but Bai Shi in front of him transformed into a wooden cross that ensnared him and fixed him firmly in place, preventing any movement.
Walking around to face him, Bai Shi's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened moments before, and continued to ask, "What's your name?"
Silence prevailed once more.
Seeing this, Bai Shi sighed, "Hey! Why bother?"
After that, he extended his right index finger and lightly tapped the opponent's chest. A vine emerged from his fingertip and slowly pierced into the Anbu's flesh.
With a little chakra input, the vines began to grow. Under Bai Shi's control, they avoided vital points but inflicted immense pain.
The Kirigakure Anbu gritted his teeth and held on for a while, but soon his body began to spasm and twitch uncontrollably. It felt as though mice were scurrying beneath his skin, wriggling irregularly, and lumps of flesh appeared all over his body.
If one looked closely, they would find that those swollen areas were filled with fine vine threads, entangled within the muscles, giving an extremely creepy appearance.
Though he wasn't particularly skilled in torture, Bai Shi came from the Root Organization, after all, and had a wealth of theoretical knowledge. Now, doing it for the first time yielded remarkably effective results.
After just a moment, the Kirigakure Anbu opposite began to speak.
