Chapter 143: Death by a Thousand Cuts
"Bastard!" Setsuna kicked Obito flying, then launched into a vicious beating.
"You make it sound so casual!"
"My entire family of over ten people—from grandparents down to nephews and nieces—were all slaughtered by you two beasts!"
Other Uchiha also swarmed forward, venting all their rage on Obito's head.
They beat him savagely until his bones broke and blood sprayed everywhere.
If not for White Zetsu cells continuously healing Obito, he would have already been beaten to death by the Uchiha mob.
"Alright, letting him die would be too easy for him."
Yasushi clapped his hands, signaling everyone to stop, then summoned a large tree from underground. He used knives to pin Obito's limbs to the tree, then smiled at everyone:
"I've long heard our Uchiha clan has specialized torture experts. Why don't you show me how to properly torture enemies during interrogation? Let me learn something."
Everyone exchanged glances and looked toward one particular jonin.
"Terunosuke, it's up to you."
The jonin called Terunosuke laughed heartily and stepped forward.
"Haha, I never expected to get another torture opportunity after death."
"Actually, Uchiha interrogation techniques often work in conjunction with the Sharingan. But since today's interrogation doesn't need a confession, I'll just demonstrate the techniques!"
"That's right, Terunosuke! Show us your skills—use whatever causes the most pain!"
Everyone immediately cleared space, watching Terunosuke perform.
Terunosuke first formed hand seals and summoned a calico ninja cat.
"Ah, Mita, please help me fetch my tool kit."
The ninja cat looked around. Seeing the oppressive atmosphere and those murderous Reanimated bodies, it shivered and sighed:
"Fine. I'll bring it over in a moment."
The ninja cat dispelled the summoning momentarily, then reappeared with a tool kit for Terunosuke.
Afterward, it glanced at the group of Reanimated bodies, hesitated, then ultimately sighed without saying anything and left directly.
Everyone knew the ninja cat surely felt the dead should rest peacefully in the afterlife, but it also knew the Uchiha spirits wouldn't listen, so it simply didn't bother arguing.
Terunosuke used Earth Release to create a stone platform before the tree, spread out his tool kit, and revealed rows of strange implements—many unrecognizable, their purposes unknown.
Terunosuke casually picked up a tube of silver needles, soaked them in some liquid, then coldly approached Obito and inserted these needles one by one into specific pressure points on Obito's body while explaining to Yasushi and everyone behind him:
"This is a nerve stimulation agent that increases bodily nerve sensitivity dozens of times. Any slight pain will feel like being cut with a knife."
After hearing this, Yasushi hastily reminded him:
"Obito's right side is White Zetsu cells—a wooden material with no pain sensation at all. So your methods should all be used on his left side."
"I see!" Terunosuke casually slashed Obito's right chest a few times with a knife, indeed seeing white sap flow out instead of blood.
"What an odd life form!"
Terunosuke remarked casually but didn't investigate further—after all, he wasn't a scientific research fanatic like Orochimaru.
He inserted needles all over Obito's left side, injecting the solution, then smiled at everyone:
"Now even if you lightly prick him with a needle, it'll produce pain far exceeding a knife stab."
After speaking, he casually pricked Obito's body. Obito immediately screamed as if stabbed with a blade.
"How about it? Does everyone want to try?"
"Of course!"
Everyone immediately lined up, casually selecting tools from Terunosuke's kit and carving away at Obito's body.
Piercing, slicing, bone-grinding, sawing... Every technique took its turn.
Obito's screams continued uninterrupted, not stopping for even a moment.
Yasushi sat cheerfully not far from Obito, appreciating his death by a thousand cuts.
He held Rin, hand on her chest, keeping her alive, feeling strangely like he was cuckolding Obito right to his face.
Obito looked at Rin, whose bleeding had stopped and who was in a comatose state, knowing Yasushi had indeed saved her life. He immediately felt all his sacrifice was worthwhile.
Things like NTR and cuckolding—just pretend not to see them.
Whenever Obito's body instinctively wanted to resist, Yasushi would grab Rin's neck and display her to Obito. Then Obito would immediately deflate, obediently enduring the torture.
After watching for a while, Yasushi grew somewhat bored, so he smiled at Terunosuke:
"Terunosuke, this simple torture feels a bit dull. We should ask some questions to make it interesting."
"Hmm, what should we ask? Intelligence?"
Terunosuke scratched his head, momentarily unsure what to ask Obito.
"How about this!" Yasushi said cheerfully. "Let's ask math problems!"
"For example, what's one thousand minus seven? Then minus seven again? Keep subtracting repeatedly."
"Of course, getting it right is normal. But if he gets it wrong, there will be punishment!"
"Haha... That's a good idea! Let's ask math problems then!"
Terunosuke laughingly raised his pliers, crushing one of Obito's fingers to powder, then asked with a smile:
"What's one thousand minus seven?"
"It's..." Obito screamed but wouldn't answer the question.
"Hehe..." Yasushi smiled at Obito. "Obito, you'd better answer honestly, and you must get it right!"
"Because if you get it wrong, then this will happen..."
Yasushi raised Rin again, inserted his finger into her still-open wound, and dug forcefully.
Rin screamed, waking from unconsciousness, and blood began gushing from her wound again.
"No!" Obito immediately panicked, hastily speaking. "It's nine hundred ninety-three! Nine hundred ninety-three!"
"Don't hurt Rin! I'll answer your questions!"
"That's more like it!" Yasushi cheerfully wiped his hand across Rin's wound, stopping the bleeding. "I'm not some bad person—just a math enthusiast."
"As long as you keep answering correctly, nothing will happen."
"So don't get any wrong!"
