Hiruzen Sarutobi led Uchiha Tunan out of the interrogation room and instructed Takuya Yamanaka:
"When you examine her memories later, let Tunan watch from the side.
"I have other matters to attend to. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Understood."
"Lord Hokage, sorry for the trouble."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gently patted Uchiha Tunan on the shoulder and sighed. "You've had it rough."
After watching Hiruzen Sarutobi leave, Takuya Yamanaka glanced at Uchiha Tunan and said:
"Let's go."
Uchiha Tunan nodded and followed Takuya Yamanaka deeper into the Interrogation Department.
When they arrived outside the interrogation room, two Guardian Ninja bowed.
"Lord Takuya."
Takuya Yamanaka pointed at Uchiha Tunan. "Mm. Let this kid go in and observe. Notify me if anything happens."
"Yes."
Uchiha Tunan entered the interrogation room alone and found it filled with all sorts of medical equipment and unfamiliar drugs.
An iron bed stood in the middle, with an incandescent lamp hanging above it. Uchiha Mina lay on the bed.
Her hands, feet, and neck were secured by metal restraints, and her eyes were covered as well.
Her breathing was steady and even. She appeared to be asleep.
Two Yamanaka Clan ninja responsible for examining her memories were making preparations.
One was Shunkawa Yamanaka, who sat in a chair sorting through documents.
The other was Ryoji Yamanaka, who was drawing a blue liquid into a syringe.
"Sit there. Don't speak, and don't move around." Shunkawa Yamanaka kept sorting the documents without looking up as he pointed to a chair nearby.
Uchiha Tunan sat down silently.
"Is the sedative ready? She's young, so don't give her too much."
After arranging the documents, Shunkawa Yamanaka reminded Ryoji Yamanaka.
Ryoji Yamanaka silently nodded, walked over to Uchiha Mina, inserted the syringe into her vein, and injected the medicine.
"I can begin."
As soon as he spoke, Ryoji Yamanaka placed both hands against Uchiha Mina's brow and began probing her memories.
Suddenly, Uchiha Mina's entire body jolted, and she began trembling as though electrocuted.
A strained "Hoh-heh~" escaped her lips, as though she were enduring unbearable torment.
Ryoji Yamanaka wore an indifferent expression. He closed his eyes and began recounting what he saw.
"I see it. The date is October 6."
Shunkawa Yamanaka, seated beside Uchiha Tunan, quickly began writing in his notebook.
"She got up, fed the cat, and made breakfast."
"She was... spacing out in the yard..."
Uchiha Tunan watched with a pained expression, but his heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, long-term genjutsu still had flaws.
"How long did she space out for?"
"It's already past noon."
"It's afternoon now. She packed up and left the house."
Uchiha Tunan maintained his pained expression, but his mind was constantly calculating.
Judging from this ninja's Chakra fluctuations, he was probably a Chunin.
The other one should be about the same.
If I cast genjutsu on both of them...
No, that's too risky.
Let's watch a little longer.
"She arrived at the training grounds and met someone named Uchiha Tunan."
"She was sparring with me yesterday evening," Uchiha Tunan suddenly interjected.
Shunkawa Yamanaka's expression turned cold as he growled, "Don't speak!"
"Sorry."
Uchiha Tunan lowered his head, though a flash of coldness passed through his eyes.
"Her mental state was terrible. She kept losing focus during the spar, and after about an hour, she went home."
"She discovered that her cat had died. There was also a note beside the cat's body.
"It said..."
Shunkawa Yamanaka nodded while taking notes.
Clearly, the contents of the memories matched the evidence they had found.
It was confirmed.
"She arrived at the waterfall and hid in the grass.
"She saw that Uchiha Tunan and another girl.
"The girl was called Hyuga Senrin. She was confessing her love to Uchiha Tunan.
"Uchiha Tunan rejected her and left."
"She came out. She cut off that girl's head and burned it with a Great Fireball."
On the iron bed, Uchiha Mina convulsed violently as though having a seizure, white foam spilling from the corners of her mouth.
"Enough! She can't take it anymore! Stop torturing her!"
Uchiha Tunan's shout disrupted Ryoji Yamanaka, interrupting his technique.
Shunkawa Yamanaka glared darkly at the tear-streaked Uchiha Tunan and said coldly:
"Uchiha Tunan, is it? Do you know the consequences of obstructing an interrogation?
"If you keep this up, you'll have to leave.
"Otherwise, I can only fulfill my duty as an interrogator."
After saying that, he turned to Ryoji Yamanaka. "Continue. Check the memories from the day before afterward."
"No... Kill me, kill me."
With the technique interrupted, Uchiha Mina finally regained the ability to speak and wailed continuously.
Ryoji Yamanaka ignored Uchiha Mina's pleas. He had seen such scenes far too often.
Once he resumed the technique, she would stop making those irritating cries.
He immediately placed both hands on Uchiha Mina's brow again.
When Uchiha Tunan heard Shunkawa Yamanaka demand an examination of the previous day's memories, a cold glint flashed through his eyes.
The next instant, the tomoe in Uchiha Tunan's eyes began to spin.
He directly drew a kunai and leaped toward Uchiha Mina like a black shadow.
"Brat, I've put up with you for long enough."
The two Yamanaka Clan ninja reacted swiftly. They had already been subconsciously watching Uchiha Tunan, whose emotions had been fluctuating intensely.
They immediately attacked from the front and back, intending to restrain him.
Bang!
Bang!
Uchiha Tunan took a punch to the abdomen from Ryoji Yamanaka and a kick to the back from Shunkawa Yamanaka.
He immediately spat out blood and collapsed heavily to the floor.
"Mina~"
Uchiha Tunan's eyes were unfocused as he struggled to raise a hand toward Uchiha Mina on the iron bed.
"This person might have some special background. Could this cause trouble?" Ryoji Yamanaka asked with a deeply furrowed brow.
"Hmph. He obstructed official business. Even if this reaches Lord Hokage, we have reason on our side."
With that, Shunkawa Yamanaka grabbed Uchiha Tunan by the hair and dragged him toward the door.
The interrogation room door opened, and the two Guardian Ninja outside stared at Shunkawa Yamanaka in shock. "Shunkawa, what are you doing? Put Ryoji down!"
Shunkawa Yamanaka froze, confused. "What are you talking about?"
Then he instinctively looked down.
This was!
Ryoji!
Where was that brat?
The person Shunkawa Yamanaka was dragging was not Uchiha Tunan, but his companion, Ryoji Yamanaka.
Even more terrifyingly, Ryoji Yamanaka still wore a contemplative expression.
He seemed to still be worrying about whether Uchiha Tunan had a powerful backer.
Shunkawa Yamanaka hurriedly put Ryoji Yamanaka down. The three exchanged looks, then all turned back at once.
This was bad!
Inside the interrogation room, the incandescent light shone upon the iron bed in the middle.
Uchiha Tunan emerged from the shadows, the Three Tomoe spinning in his eyes. One hand gently stroked Uchiha Mina's hair, while the other held a kunai aimed at her heart.
"Tunan..." Uchiha Mina murmured as the genjutsu in her mind began to fail, and fragments of her memories returned.
Incomplete images flashed rapidly through her mind.
Then they froze on the scene of Uchiha Tunan using genjutsu on her.
In that instant, Uchiha Mina understood everything.
She immediately struggled with all her strength.
But her hands, feet, and neck were all secured by metal restraints. She could not move at all.
Seeing this, Uchiha Tunan's face filled with sorrow. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Mina, it's okay. It won't hurt anymore soon."
Yet in Uchiha Mina's ears, Uchiha Tunan's voice was as terrifying as a demon's whisper from hell.
She immediately cried out in terror:
"Save me!"
