Zaku had already fallen, and Dosu's sound waves, created a visible ripple in the air, rapidly approaching Naruto.
Naruto leaped away, and Zaku, having received Dosu's backstab, had his back torn open with deep, bone-revealing wounds. Already on the brink of death, Zaku's body convulsed a few times before his soul departed to the afterlife.
Seeing his sound waves miss, Dosu gritted his teeth and was about to continue searching for Naruto, who wore a Root mask. But at this time, a kunai suddenly shot toward him.
The kunai wasn't moving fast, so Dosu didn't bother to move his feet. He simply tilted his head to avoid it.
But in the next second, just as the kunai passed by him, Naruto appeared behind him, catching the kunai with a snap.
[Flying Thunder God- Second Step]
Dosu, who was in a state of alert, seemed to realize something and inhaled sharply.
"Behind you!" Kin had already rushed forward and threw several Senbon in her hand towards Naruto.
However, it was too late. Time seemed to freeze in that instant. The speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique was too fast, and human nerves could not keep up with it. Without hesitation, Naruto drove the kunai into the back of Dosu's head, striking his vital point.
Like pressing the pause button on life, Dosu's flame of life was suddenly extinguished.
The five senbon arrived too late, and Naruto used Dosu's body to block them all. With a few 'pfft' sounds, the senbon sank deeply into Dosu's body.
"You Otogakure's Shinobi seem to enjoy backstabbing your teammates." Naruto said in a low voice, the holes in his mask glowing with a chilling red light.
Kin, who was running towards Naruto, immediately stopped in her tracks, paralyzed by the gaze of Kyubi's blood-red eyes. The fear of death enveloped her, like being targeted by a terrifying beast in the darkness, with a bloody storm surging towards her.
"Who are you?" Kin trembled as she asked. "From your appearance, you are someone from Konoha, right?"
"You know a lot." Naruto slowly walked toward Kin, "Orochimaru sent you, didn't he? Your plan was exposed the moment you entered the village, and I've been keeping an eye on you since then."
"Now, your Orochimaru-sama is being personally hunted by the Hokage and his team. He has no way to escape route. So keeping you alive is pointless."
"Impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible." Naruto stopped a few steps away from Kin, looked at her and said, "Now, let's test your loyalty to Orochimaru."
"What are you going to do?" Kin's face was full of fear.
"Torture, but I guess you won't say anything, so..." Naruto raised his hand, and blue lightning surged, casting flickering shadows on his mask.
"I've decided to let you die in pain. I hope you maintain your ridiculous loyalty and don't disappoint me."
"I'll kill you, you bastard!"
Naruto ignored Kin's insults. This soul interrogation technique was an incredible inspiration he got from a certain website.
On a sunny afternoon, while searching for an 'ancient poem', he accidentally stumbled upon a paradise-like website. Amid the smoky screen, he happened to see a video recommended on the homepage titled 'Torture of a Kunoichi in the Chunin Exam'.
After watching the entire video, Naruto quietly gave it a thumbs down.
Bah! He disapproved of such a vulgar display, it's far removed from the true spirit of the Will of Fire.
'Reality wasn't like the videos, there were no such charming scenes.' Naruto's face turned cold as he directed the Lightning Release at Kin, causing blue lightning to crackle and screams rang out instantly.
In response to this, Naruto just watched coldly.
If she died, it would fulfill the first option of eliminating the Sound ninja trio, earning him the reward of the Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique.
If she talked, it would fulfill the second option of extracting information about Orochimaru, earning him the Wind Release: Blade of Wind Technique, which is not a loss at all.
It didn't matter which choice was made, so Naruto simply decided to let this girl choose her fate. Whether to choose to live, or to stay loyal to Orochimaru.
Zzzzt!
Zzzzt!
Lightning crackled mercilessly over her body. When the electric surge finally subsided, Kin's eyes rolled back, and she collapsed on the ground, tears and drool streaming down her face, leaving a large puddle beneath her.
Naruto glanced at her, and lightning began to gather in his hand again, clearly intending to repeat the process.
"No! Please don't shock me again, I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Kin curled up, trembling all over. She didn't see any warmth in Naruto's eyes. Those eyes were like cold ice cubes. She knew very well that if she didn't speak up, this person would surely electrocute her to death here.
The mere thought of that was enough to make her shiver. She'd rather die quickly like her teammates than be tortured by this demon in front of her.
Little did they know that this was Naruto's original intention. He had killed Zaku and Dosu because they were troublesome. Even if he tortured them, there was a chance those scientifically modified freaks might enjoy the torture.
"Are you really going to talk?" Naruto asked with some regret.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!" Kin sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
"Actually, you don't have to talk." Naruto said hesitantly, "I do kind of want that Fire Release Ninjutsu."
Upon hearing this, Kin's breathing grew heavy. She didn't understand what the Fire Release Ninjutsu that Naruto was talking about had to do with her, but she knew that if she didn't speak up now, she would be electrocuted into a semiconductor.
'This guy is a real devil.'
Looking at Kin's pleading eyes, Naruto thought about it and felt that the Wind Release Ninjutsu might be okay too.
"Go ahead."
Afterwards, Kin began to stammer out some truths. Naruto, wary of lies, shocked her two more times until her story remained consistent across three interrogations. Only then did he let her go.
When it comes to intelligence matters, it's better to be cautious, right?
Kin didn't know if Naruto was too strict. She was completely numb and lay motionless on the grass. When she heard the rustling footsteps coming from her ears, she turned her head with all her strength and stared at the culprit with numb eyes.
However, Naruto did not attack her again. He just looked at her and said, "Since you told the truth, I'll give you a piece of advice."
"Leave Konoha after the exams, and don't try to find your Orochimaru-sama. He'll kill someone like you, who has no value."
After saying that, Naruto flickered away.
[Wind Release: Blade of Wind Technique successfully granted.]
After dealing with the Otogakure Trio, Naruto hurried back to the rendezvous point from without looking back. About half an hour later, he was close to the agreed location when he heard the sounds of battle.
This place was very close to the agreed meeting place. So after a moment's thought, Naruto changed direction and took off the ill-fitting Root uniform.
When he arrived, Naruto was greeted by a sight worthy of a famous painting.
Orochimaru, with his long neck, biting Sasuke on the neck, leaving a small hickey.
