This was a bloody mill using Ninja as "raw materials," and it was using the most basic production techniques.

After hearing this Ninja named Tsuchishi's casual description, Yuzhen could roughly judge his "scientific research level."

Transplanting a Ninja's heart into a beast was to give a naturally strong body the ability to generate Chakra.

Replacing a beast's brain with a Ninja's brain was because the human brain was more intelligent and could easily understand other people's orders...

It was conceivable that this head was definitely under the control of Genjutsu or some kind of Curse Mark.

Looking at this kind of scientific research level of "taking it out of here and stuffing it in there," it could be described as simple and crude. Based on this guess, Tsuchishi's "products" were mostly shoddy, not only of questionable quality but also with a very limited lifespan.

As for Tsuchishi's fighting style, or rather, his ability to subdue other Ninja, it was still quite good.

On the one hand, he used Genjutsu to deprive you of your senses, and on the other hand, he used special ninjutsu to deprive you of your Chakra. Combining the two, if not "invincible," he could at least deal with most Ninja who didn't have the advantage of information.

Unfortunately, he met Yuzhen.

Yuzhen knocked Tsuchishi unconscious, and after waiting for the people and beasts in the underground space to be half-drowned, he "opened the floodgates."

He formed hand seals and used a Water Style ninjutsu, Water Wall, again.

The water surrounding Yuzhen's body started slowly and then quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a ring-shaped cylindrical "water tornado" centered on him, pushing away the surrounding water while spiraling upwards at high speed.

The water was shaped, like insect eggs waking up underground in spring, arching open the dead branches and fallen leaves above.

Under Yuzhen's control, the water easily lifted the coating above, and after destroying the buildings above, it "spiraled" to the highest point.

The water level in the underground space dropped rapidly, and a large amount of water was directly poured into the town.

It wasn't that Yuzhen had any desire to destroy the town where civilians lived; he was just giving a warning. After seeing this Water Style, the average person in the town would definitely leave to take refuge as long as they had a brain.

No one wanted to stay on a Ninja's battlefield.

How many smart people were there in the town? The answer was that everyone was smart when faced with danger to their lives.

In the underground space, heavy breathing and violent coughing rose and fell one after another; they had managed to save their lives.

Yuzhen dragged Tsuchishi with one hand, letting most of his body soak in the water, and then began to walk and observe the people locked in the cages.

Because the caster had lost consciousness, the Genjutsu on these controlled prisoners had actually been lifted. In addition, they had been doused with a lot of cold water, so they quickly woke up again.

There were probably more than thirty Ninja locked up here, so Yuzhen's search speed was very fast. After looking at only a few cages, he found a familiar face.

It was Hagane Chihori, whom he was looking for.

Fortunately, Yuzhen found a clansman; unfortunately, it seemed that she was the only one here.

Perhaps only she had been subjected to "human trafficking," or perhaps other clansmen had become consumables for those cruel experiments.

Chihori was a female Ninja of about seventeen or eighteen years old. At this time, her face was pale, and her eyes were somewhat dull.

Yuzhen stood at the door of this cage. When she realized that something was blocking the faint light in front of her, Chihori subconsciously looked up.

When she saw Yuzhen's face clearly, a trace of radiance appeared in her eyes.

She was about to speak, but Yuzhen gently shook his head to stop her.

There were still many living people here. Out of some instinctive caution, he would not reveal his purpose for being here.

He would just act as if he wasn't here to rescue someone specifically, but to rescue everyone.

Truth be told, based on the code of conduct of ordinary Ninja, after rescuing the intended target, everyone else should be slaughtered.

Anyway, they had no value and no ability to resist. They were the same kind, but living would only lead to hostility... In any case, it would be better for these people to die.

But Yuzhen didn't want to do that.

It wasn't that he was really kind-hearted, with a hypocritical part of his personality, a Holy Mother, but that he simply didn't want to do it.

The Ninja here were of no value to him. Killing or not killing was indifferent.

The reason why he didn't want to do it was just because Yuzhen had a little "spiritual cleanliness."

Compared to the guy he was dragging, he just didn't want to look like he was the same kind of person, that's all.

There were many paths to take in a chaotic world. In this era where if I don't kill people, people will kill me, Yuzhen didn't reject becoming a cold-blooded killer, but he especially didn't want to embark on a path that obliterated humanity.

So this little bit of spiritual cleanliness maintained some bottom lines or guidelines for Yuzhen as a human being.

If others knew what he was thinking, they would definitely scoff at him first, and then immediately question:

How much stubbornness does it take for you to think you are different from us?

In short, based on Yuzhen's idea of not killing everyone here, he had to pay attention to a little bit of method when saving people.

Yuzhen took out a bunch of keys from Tsuchishi and successfully opened Chihori's cell door. He first unlocked the shackles on Chihori, and while signaling Chihori to leave here first with his eyes, he said:

"You are free."

Chihori understood what he meant and left here as quickly as possible.

After that, Yuzhen began to free the other prisoners.

After these people were released from their restraints and gained freedom, they first looked at Yuzhen with fearful eyes, and then quickly moved away from him as if avoiding the plague, squeezing out of the cell door and fleeing outwards as quickly as possible.

He could understand what these people were doing. He wouldn't expect these people to be grateful and say thank you after being rescued.

By releasing everyone here, Yuzhen's act of releasing Chihori would not appear abrupt, and no one would know what his real purpose for coming here was.

After everyone in that cage escaped, Yuzhen arrived at the next cage door.

At this moment, a Ninja inside the cage suddenly lost control and roared:

"Haha, I knew it, the Ninja Clan would never abandon me, they would definitely assign a mission to someone to rescue me!"

Not only Yuzhen, but even the other dazed Ninjas were attracted by this person.

Tsuchishi, who had been unconscious, also woke up because of the sudden noise, and the expression on his face immediately became extremely angry.

This person's neck was already "surprisingly bony," but he didn't expect his vitality to be so tenacious. Not only were his cerebrum and cerebellum still functioning, but he could even launch an effective counterattack.

Yuzhen looked at Tsuchishi, wanting to see what he was going to do.

Then he saw Tsuchishi's hands come together, forming hand seals at the fastest speed.

In the next moment, more than a dozen earth spikes suddenly pierced out of the stone wall, the sharp spikes like sharp spears, directly piercing the shouting Ninja through the heart.

Yuzhen: "..."

This was something he hadn't expected.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have attacked a Ninja from a major Ninja Clan." Tsuchishi's words were full of regret.

"You're talking a bit too much... You're quite persistent about staying alive?"

This was a good question, the only bad thing was that it didn't sound like human language.

In fact, Yuzhen should have asked if he was acting alone, whether he had an organized crime group, or whether there was a mastermind behind him, but the answers to these questions would not interfere with the purpose of his trip, so he didn't care.

He didn't ask, and the other party didn't answer.

Yuzhen just broke the other party's arms directly.

He had noticed the moment the other party regained consciousness, and was prepared to deal with the sneak attack, but he didn't expect the other party's target to be someone other than himself.

Although Yuzhen destroyed Tsuchishi's "research career," what the latter hated most was the person who had brought Yuzhen here.

Because in Tsuchishi's view, Yuzhen was just "doing things for money," and the person who summoned Yuzhen was the instigator of his downfall.

Now that someone jumped out to admit that he had summoned Yuzhen, this person became Tsuchishi's priority target for revenge.

Yuzhen looked at this person who was about to be rescued but was still eager to die, and thought that there were some people in this world who just couldn't be saved no matter what.

This person was from a major Ninja Clan? Probably used to arrogance.

Yuzhen looked at the dead man's forehead protector and found a mark of three and a half ring-shaped curves supporting a sphere, and he didn't recognize which Ninja Clan it belonged to.

Although this person was dead, he gave Yuzhen an excuse to clear himself.

"What major Ninja Clan? Can it be bigger than Uchiha Izuna?

I didn't come here because of anyone, I just couldn't stand your actions, so I took action to destroy this place."

Well, when you're out and about, you should always give your name and never change it.
