Seven days later.
Konoha Torture Department.
"Longing! Rusty! Seventeen! Dawn! Furnace! Nine! Kindness! Go home! One! Truck...!"
Hyuga Sho held a small booklet.
He recited the lines written in it.
"Gui" sat in a chair, her face pale and her body trembling.
As she listened to the words Hyuga Sho recited, her expression and movements kept twisting and changing.
Finally.
Her pupils contracted. She suddenly propped herself up and gasped for breath.
"Sir, Gui reporting in."
Gui, her face covered in sweat, stared straight ahead and spoke.
After Hyuga Sho's initial brainwashing succeeded, Gui had gone to Amegakure several days ago to carry out her first mission.
Through various means, including bribery and investigation, Hyuga Sho began counter-infiltrating Shimura Danzō's "Root" organization.
After a long period of experimentation.
In this life, combined with the methods from his previous life.
Hyuga Sho successfully brainwashed Gui into becoming his subordinate Ninja Weapon.
The only regret was that he had not had time to obtain Root's specialized brainwashing method from Yakushi Nonō before she went undercover in Iwagakure.
Therefore...
Hyuga Sho had no choice but to continue using his own method.
In his previous life, this brainwashing method gave him absolute control.
But this world was ultimately a supernatural one, and the method he had devised himself was not quite perfect.
Sending Gui to Amegakure was the first test.
Gui had brought back intelligence and learned of Shimura Danzō's movements.
A week earlier, Shimura Danzō had personally set out for the Land of Rain.
Gui had lurked there for several days and observed his objective.
Shimura Danzō wanted to win over Hanzo of the Salamander, the village leader of the Land of Rain's Amegakure, who was known as the "Demigod."
He had used a scheme.
He had killed Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki.
