BFTS: Chapter 22
---
Kenshi woke up in the middle of the night.
Of course, the interrogation room was never exposed to sunlight, so Kenshi didn't know whether it was day or night. He didn't care either.
The moment he woke up, the memory of the pain he had experienced before he passed out was still there. He instinctively pulled his left hand back.
The intense pain didn't come.
But a throbbing pain deep in the gap between his thumb and finger reminded him that everything before wasn't a dream.
Whew... Kenshi let out a sigh, relaxing his left hand.
As long as it wasn't like before... hmm!
Kenshi's expression suddenly froze.
It was strange. He felt that the throbbing pain left in the gap between his thumb and finger wasn't as painful anymore.
If it had been before, this pain would have made him scream.
But now, he didn't feel much.
As expected, a person's endurance depends on how much pain they have experienced.
And he, somehow, had survived that pain.
"But can I survive the next time?"
Kenshi asked himself in his heart.
He was lying on the floor now, no longer on that bed that had made him tremble with fear. But his heart was still trembling with fear.
Kenshi struggled to get up. Although his hands and feet were still shackled, they were much looser than before. At least he could lie down, and getting up shouldn't be a problem.
Sniff!
Suddenly, a faint scent of warmth wafted into Kenshi's nostrils, instantly awakening his appetite.
He quickly got up.
Clang!
Clang!
The chains clinked together, and his stomach growled with hunger.
Kenshi, having gotten up, quickly used the dim candlelight to see that there was a bowl of steaming ramen on the ground in front of him.
Kenshi stepped forward, reaching it.
He immediately sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and brought the bowl to his mouth.
He took several quick bites before slowing down.
Combined with the sushi he had eaten earlier, Kenshi's spirit had recovered quite a bit. His brain could think more clearly.
He calmed down, eating his noodles while looking around.
Suddenly, his body froze, and then he instinctively took a few steps back.
Not far away, in the corner, a single medical bed, or perhaps a torture bed, stood silently. It was dark and unclear, like a hungry beast watching him.
Just one glance, and Kenshi trembled all over. He quickly turned his head away, taking several deep breaths before he could breathe easily again.
He was still in the interrogation room, which meant he... wasn't dead yet.
The Third Hokage didn't kill him?
What is the Spirit Transformation Technique?
What does the Third Hokage want me to say?
Or what does the Third Hokage want to know?
Recalling the memories from before he passed out, Kenshi was a little confused for a moment. After a while, he began to think about his current situation.
First, because of his transmigration, his mutated consciousness had completely merged with his body. He couldn't just take it back, he couldn't do it.
As long as the other person didn't die, his consciousness, body, and chakra would be tightly bound together.
Genjutsu and memory exploration jutsu didn't work on him.
This meant that the Third Hokage could only get the information he wanted about the Spirit Transformation Technique through him.
But he didn't know anything about the Spirit Transformation Technique.
It was imaginable that no matter what he said, the Third Hokage wouldn't get the information he wanted, and his torture wouldn't stop.
"So... how long I can live depends on how long I can endure the torture."
"And... when the Third Hokage loses his patience."
No matter what the possibility, his final outcome would only be one: death.
Heh!
Kenshi suddenly laughed miserably.
Death?
Maybe death was what he wanted most.
Thinking about the pain he had experienced before he passed out, just thinking about it made Kenshi tremble uncontrollably.
"Can I endure that kind of pain?"
"Even if I can endure it this time, what about the next time? And what about the even more terrifying pain and torture that will come later? Can I endure it?"
No!
Without thinking, without deliberating, Kenshi gave himself the answer.
He absolutely couldn't endure that kind of pain and torture.
He would definitely beg the Third Hokage to kill him in that kind of living hell.
But it was clear that the Third Hokage wouldn't kill him in the short term.
He would definitely have to endure more torture.
Thinking of this, Kenshi knew he had only one way.
"Suicide!"
Yes, suicide.
To avoid continuing to endure that inhuman pain and torture, Kenshi had no choice but to commit suicide.
Reality wasn't anime, he wasn't the protagonist.
If he was the protagonist, he would rather not be. He couldn't endure that kind of pain and torture.
But when Kenshi smashed the large bowl and picked up a shard to press against the main artery of his left wrist, he couldn't bring himself to cut it.
His right hand, which was tightly gripping the shard, was trembling, but he just couldn't cut it.
Yes!
The needle piercing his fingernail was very painful, making Kenshi truly experience what it meant to be in living hell.
But the overwhelming fear of life and death made Kenshi unable to commit suicide.
Whew... Whew... Whew!
Kenshi's eyes widened, staring intently at his left wrist, breathing heavily.
Continue to suffer in living hell?
Or commit suicide?
Kenshi's mind kept repeating these two thoughts, unable to make a decision.
Finally, Kenshi threw away the shard of the bowl in his hand and kept slapping the ground with his hands, discovering his anger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Kenshi's hands quickly turned red.
He was angry.
Angry that he was in this situation, and still didn't have the courage to commit suicide.
He knew that even if he could continue to endure the Third Hokage's torture, endure the inhuman torture that was about to come, it would be useless in the end. He would still die, the Third Hokage wouldn't let him go.
It would be better to commit suicide now, to end it all, rather than suffer in vain and then die anyway.
But even though he knew all this, he still couldn't bring himself to end his own life.
He was weak, cowardly, he was afraid of pain, and perhaps even more afraid of death.
Kenshi was angry!
Angry at the heavens for making him transmigrate!
He had been living a good life on Earth. It was ordinary, but there was nothing unsatisfactory. Why did he have to transmigrate?
Transmigration was one thing, but why didn't he die and transmigrate? Why did he just wake up in a different body after closing his eyes and falling asleep?
With this kind of transmigration method, he hadn't experienced the feeling of death, so how could he not be afraid of death?
Throughout the night, Kenshi kept complaining about this and that, and unknowingly fell asleep.
The next day.
Kenshi didn't know day from night, but through the times the Anbu brought him meals, and the type of food, he could roughly tell that it was daytime.
After three meals, Kenshi guessed that it was probably evening.
Although the interrogation room was very quiet, Kenshi's heart beat faster and faster as time passed.
Creak!
The door to the interrogation room opened. Hearing the sound, Kenshi's body instantly froze. His heart stopped beating for a moment. His face was filled with fear. He looked towards the door.
The man who made his pupils dilate and his body tremble walked in.
The Third Hokage was still wearing his Hokage uniform, looking very upright. If you ignored the toolbox in his hand.
Two Anbu ninjas were behind him.
