I'm a Rogue Ninja, I'll Tell You Anything

"What to do?"

Naruto looked at Dosu, who was tied to a tree, and felt at a loss as to what to do.

Looking at Hinata pleadingly, Naruto scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hinata, how are we going to extract information from her? After all... someone as clumsy with words as me isn't suited for lecturing!"

Hinata's eyes looked somewhat strange.

Naruto, are you serious?

Hinata glanced at Rock Lee again, and Rock Lee stared blankly at Hinata.

Sigh! Neither of the two men I brought with me is suitable for interrogating for information.

The teaching quality in Konoha is really bad!

Hinata hesitated for a moment, then tentatively suggested, "How about... we try beating him up again?"

Upon hearing this, Dosu, whose face was bruised and swollen, became anxious and struggled to shout, "What exactly do you want to know? If it's about revenge for the Chunin Ninja Exams, then I admit defeat."

Hinata asked in confusion, "Eh? Did you do anything during the Chunin Ninja Exams?"

Dosu roared, "That's not the point! What exactly do you want to ask?"

Naruto looked at Dosu and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Sasuke? Where did Sasuke take Orochimaru?"

Upon hearing this, Dosu was overjoyed and quickly said, "Sasuke has been taken to the Otogakure by Orochimaru."

Hinata pressed further, "Where is the Otogakure?"

Dosu struggled against the wires binding him, looked at Hinata, and tentatively said, "If you let me leave, I will tell you the location of Otogakure."

"Naruto!"

"Knew!"

'Clang clang clang—'

Hinata looked at Dosu, who was beaten beyond recognition, and sighed softly, saying, "Why did you do this? As long as you tell us the location of the Otogakure, we won't make things difficult for you!"

"Let you leave first? Do you think we're stupid?!"

"You need to distinguish between primary and secondary relationships!"

Dosu tears in his eyes: Why didn't you say so earlier!

"If you go north from here, there will be a valley about fifty miles away. That is where the Otogakure is located."

"Orochimaru is cunning. He built the Otogakure underground. It looks perfectly normal from the outside, so even if someone accidentally wanders into the valley, they won't find anything."

Hinata and the other two exchanged glances. Rock Lee, looking completely disbelieving, took out a small notebook, flipped through a few pages, and then confidently declared, "This person is Orochimaru's subordinate. He might give us false information to deceive us!"

Naruto asked, bewildered, "Is that so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto glared at Dosu with bloodshot eyes and roared, "How dare you lie to us!"

Dosu struggled frantically, shouting, "I'm missing-nin! Look at my Forehead Protector! I've betrayed Orochimaru! I'm missing-nin from Otogakure!"

Hinata was somewhat exasperated; her two teammates were truly idiots!

"Now that we know the location of the Otogakure, let's go back and meet up with Shikamaru and the others, and then discuss our next battle plan together!"

"Good!"

"Oh right! Bring Dosu along too, we'll ask him about the Otogakure later!"

Back in the small town.

Naruto and Rock Lee stayed behind to guard Dosu and did not enter the town with Hinata.

Hinata her Byakugan and found Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba. She then led the three of them to join Naruto and Rock Lee.

Tooth was filthy, with a bruise on his face. As soon as he saw Dosu, he complained, "You guys are so lucky! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have pretended to be a homeless orphan!"

Naruto asked in surprise, "Kiba, what happened to your face?"

Shikamaru and Choji chuckled mischievously. Choji explained, "Kiba tried to infiltrate the yakuza, and he was incredibly arrogant. He got a severe beating from the yakuza boss!"

Rock Lee's eyes blazed with excitement as he exclaimed, "I never expected that gang leader to be so powerful! Even Ya is no match for him!"

Ya roared, "You're so great, my foot! I only didn't fight back because I was trying to extract information from you!"

Shikamaru stopped everyone's jokes and turned to Hinata, asking, "Did you get any information?"

Hinata nodded and pointed at Dosu, saying, "He has already revealed the exact location of the Otogakure, but he hasn't told us about its strength yet. I plan to let you all hear it together, so he won't have to repeat himself."

He curled his lip and said arrogantly, "Hasn't this guy confessed yet? Leave him to me! I'm an expert in torture, I just learned it!"

"Woof woof!"

Upon hearing this, Dosu went berserk on the spot, glaring at Kiba and roaring, "Look at me carefully! I'm a missing-nin! I've betrayed Orochimaru! I'll tell you everything!"

Tooth. "..."

Is it a bit embarrassing to have teeth like this?

"What's wrong with you Konoha Ninja? Are you blind?" Dosu retorted.

"Kindness?"

Six Paths murderous gazes instantly turned to Dosu.

Ten minutes later...

Hinata kicked Dosu, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and said calmly, "Tell me! What exactly is the situation in Otogakure right now?"

Dosu lay sprawled on the ground, his eyes vacant and devoid of any spirit.

Upon hearing Hinata's question, Dosu mechanically replied, "The strongest members of Otogakure are Orochimaru and Kimimaro, with Kabuto Yakushi being Orochimaru's most capable assistant. In addition to these three, there are also the Sound Four, whom you have already met."

"Besides, most of the remaining people in Otogakure are like me..."

"There were some powerful guys before, but most of them died during the last attack on Konoha."

Shikamaru analyzed, "Even someone like Dosu was entrusted with such an important task by Orochimaru, participating in the Joint Chunin Exam various countries. It seems that besides those few people, the Otogakure probably has no other strong individuals left."

Dosu continued, "In Orochimaru's eyes, we are nothing but insignificant cannon fodder. He can have as many as he wants and doesn't care about our lives at all."

During the Chunin Ninja Exams, Dosu had already seen through Orochimaru's cold and ruthless nature.

Especially after failing in the Preliminary Selection, the trio of Dosu no longer had any use to Orochimaru.

However, Dosu was lucky enough not to be chosen by Orochimaru as a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation.

Hinata continued, "Is this all Orochimaru has under his command?"

Dosu replied, "Orochimaru has many secret bases, but those are beyond my knowledge. However, it is said that Orochimaru has imprisoned many people in these bases and left his subordinates to guard them."

Hinata nodded slightly and looked at Shikamaru, saying, "It seems that the Otogakure is nothing to fear."

Shikamaru agreed, "If Orochimaru can't Hand Seals, we do have a great chance."

"Of course, all of this is based on the premise that..."

At this point, Shikamaru turned to look at Naruto, his meaning clear.

Without Naruto's power, a few Chunin and Genin alone cannot accomplish anything.

Naruto said impatiently, "Now that we know Orochimaru's information, let's go!"

Choji glanced at Dosu, his opponent from the Preliminary Selection, and said with some reluctance, "What about this guy? Should we kill him?"

Dosu was completely devastated.

"Didn't you say you'd let me leave as long as I revealed information about the Otogakure?"

Choji, saying in a somewhat flustered tone, "I didn't mean that!"

Dosu looked at Choji, a hint of despair in his eyes, and said, "You didn't mean that? You mean you don't want me to leave?"
