Ibiki merely nodded at the boy's answer, then continued, "Lan, what is your identity, and why did you appear on the outskirts of the village?"

"I'm a war orphan. With nowhere to go, I chose to come to Konoha. I originally planned to find Lord Hokage directly and ask for somewhere I could settle down in Konoha, but I didn't expect your Anbu to capture me as an intruder the moment I arrived."

There was obvious resentment in Ye Lan's tone. Ibiki's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He was not about to believe the words of some brat so easily, especially one whose identity was unknown.

So he continued, "Then what's with the clothes you're wearing?"

Ye Lan felt a little embarrassed as well. He lowered his head to glance at his distinctly modern clothing, then calmly said to Ibiki, "Clothes I made as a personal hobby."

Ye Lan continued, "Why are you asking about my clothes? That doesn't seem to have anything to do with your interrogation, does it?"

Having been snapped back at, Ibiki's expression became somewhat unpleasant.

Ibiki narrowed his eyes and silently watched Ye Lan before him. Ye Lan was not intimidated in the slightest and met his gaze without yielding.

Suddenly, Ye Lan felt the scenery around him undergo a dramatic transformation.

Originally, Ye Lan had been sitting in a chair in the Interrogation Room, but now he was inside a metal cage, with iron chains tightly binding his hands and feet.

Ibiki, meanwhile, still sat where he had been, staring coldly at Ye Lan.

Ye Lan was only surprised for a moment before returning to normal. Ibiki truly deserves to be the Interrogation Unit Captain. He really is cautious.

"I don't care who you are. As long as you do anything detrimental to Konoha, I'll eliminate you immediately."

As Ibiki spoke, the chains wrapped around Ye Lan began to gradually tighten.

Ye Lan was utterly unmoved. He thought that he had plenty of time anyway. Since Ibiki was so cautious and refused to believe him, then he could interrogate him to his heart's content.

"Still, Ibiki's interrogation methods really are a bit violent. He actually used this right from the start..."

The reason Ye Lan showed no reaction to Ibiki's harsh interrogation was because he had copied Ibiki's physical strength.

He knew that this Ninjutsu had a particular trait: while Ibiki was interrogating someone, the technique was two-sided. On the surface, it appeared that Ye Lan was being constricted by the chains, but in truth, not only Ye Lan—even Ibiki—would suffer the same damage as Ye Lan.

Moreover, Ibiki's ability to withstand blows was far beyond that of an ordinary person. That was why his interrogation skills were so formidable.

The chains tightened further and further. Ye Lan did not make a sound, while Ibiki's face gradually turned pale instead.

At a certain moment, the chains wrapped around Ye Lan vanished instantly.

Ye Lan slowly opened his eyes, only to discover large beads of cold sweat covering Ibiki's forehead. He knew that Ibiki had reached his limit.

But Ibiki was even more shocked.

He had never imagined that someone's physical strength could surpass his so decisively!

But how could he possibly give up the interrogation just like that?

Ibiki suddenly formed hand seals with both hands!

Ye Lan raised an eyebrow. Naturally, he could tell what Ibiki intended to do.

Yet he still did not resist, because Ibiki's technique could not harm him at all.
