The Otokage heard their words and bitterly smiled in his heart. They didn't even look at who the enemy was and thought he could destroy them?
He had placed spies in every village on Orochimaru's orders.
The detailed information about the previous Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village, Fukai, was exactly reported to Orochimaru-sama by a spy.
The spies also passed information from the Land of Lightning back.
The man in front of them, he was Uchiha Madara.
The Otokage did not dare to act against this suspected Uchiha Madara.
Even if he wasn't Uchiha Madara, someone who could abduct the Eight-Tails must be extremely powerful. He couldn't possibly be a match.
If it really was Uchiha Madara, then no need to even try fighting. He was very clear about his own strength, he was just a Jonin.
He came near, with a bit of respect asked, "I don't know why Lord Uchiha Madara has come here, for what matter?"
Ryosuke saw the hat the other party was wearing, with the character "Sound" written on it, and thus knew this person was the one in charge of this village.
"You should be the Otokage, right? Tell me, where is Orochimaru?"
When the Otokage heard this, he frowned. This person actually came to find Orochimaru.
Although he was the Otokage of the Hidden Sound Village, he was actually just a puppet. Orochimaru was the real master of this village.
Feeling a bit of a headache, both people were not ones he could afford to offend, so he could only respond vaguely and said, "If the Orochimaru you speak of is one of the Three Legendary Ninjas of the Leaf, he is not here."
Ryosuke looked at him. "You're trying to trick me? If you don't tell me where Orochimaru is today, your life might be gone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of Sharingan gathered power, staring coldly at the other person.
The Otokage was stared at by these eyes, and he suddenly felt that this person's eyes had a soul-shaking feeling. This really put him in a difficult spot. Just a pair of eyes from this person already made him hard to handle.
'Red eyes, it should be the Sharingan. Just three tomoe already had such power. Could it really be the legendary Uchiha Madara?'
'Am I really going to betray Orochimaru? The outcome of betrayal wouldn't be good.'
Ryosuke saw that the Otokage still had a shut mouth expression.
'Seems like he really doesn't want to talk, then there's no other way.'
Both of his eyes turned red, and the Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique was activated. This was a special interrogation technique of the Uchiha clan.
In an instant, the Otokage's spirit was pulled into a red illusion space.
At this time, the Otokage's face showed surprise.
'How could it be possible?'
Just by looking, he already fell into the other's illusion. And now his body was pierced with five huge stakes, completely unable to move, unable to escape this kind of illusion.
Ryosuke slowly appeared in front of him, gazing at him.
"Now you can talk, right?"
The Otokage still clenched his teeth and insisted, "My lord, I really don't know."
He knew of Orochimaru's methods. If he leaked anything, Orochimaru might really tear him apart by five horses or feed him to those gigantic summoned beasts like Manda.
That outcome would be even more miserable.
Right now, he was only under an illusion. The injuries in the illusion space were all fake.
'Just endure it and it will pass.'
Ryosuke looked at the Otokage who was still trying to fool him. A sense of anger rose in his heart.
"Looks like I appear too kind, making you think I'm easy to fool."
A short sword appeared in his hand, directly stabbed into the Otokage's body.
The Otokage's face twisted in pain, letting out a tragic scream. The injuries suffered in this space felt as real as the real thing.
After all, this was spiritual damage, it was not fake.
Ryosuke looked at the Otokage who was only screaming and showed no sign of begging for mercy.
He suddenly pulled out the short blade, causing another round of wailing from the Otokage. Then stabbed it in again.
He repeated this dozens of times.
The Otokage kept screaming, but Ryosuke showed no mercy. Looking at the now completely weak and spiritless Otokage, he sneered.
"How is it? Say it or not? Even in this illusion space, I can still execute you."
"The previous injuries will also cause great harm to your spirit. If you're not lucky, you might become mentally ill in the future."
The exhausted Otokage's heart shook, looking in fear at the man in front of him. He knew the other was telling the truth. Right now his spirit was in unbearable pain. If he got stabbed a few more times, his spirit might really collapse.
It was no longer about fearing Orochimaru's revenge, he weakly and helplessly shouted, "I'll tell! I'll tell!"
Ryosuke heard this and finally smiled. Then he released the illusion.
The Otokage only felt the space tremble, his vision went dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in reality.
Even the sunlight felt dazzling to him.
At this moment, the five stakes in his body had disappeared, but he still felt completely weak.
His spirit had suffered great damage, his body uncontrollable, falling forward with both hands on the ground.
Cold sweat poured down. He still felt the pain of being stabbed with the short sword, real pain. Even now, he felt that tearing sensation. It made him afraid to move, fearing it would rip again.
The surrounding Sound Village ninjas saw this scene, their Otokage had fallen to the ground, and their expressions instantly turned angry.
"You bastard, what did you do to the Otokage?!"
Some of the stronger ninjas naturally realized this guy had used an extremely powerful illusion on Lord Otokage.
It was a very advanced illusion technique, to make the victim seem as though seriously wounded even in illusion.
Their expressions all turned grim.
Such a strong guy, how were they supposed to deal with him? He was probably not someone who could be defeated just by numbers.
At this time, the Otokage lying on the ground recovered a bit of sensation, felt able to speak again. Hearing his subordinates speak so disrespectfully toward Uchiha Madara, his face changed.
He hurriedly spoke out, "All of you shut up! Do not be disrespectful to Lord Uchiha Madara!"
The other side had subdued him with a single glance, this was the strength of Uchiha Madara. With such brutal methods, and the reputation of a demon god in the ninja world, this person definitely wasn't someone kind or reasonable.
If he were truly angered, he might wipe out the entire village.
Those Sound Village ninjas were stunned when they heard their Otokage's words.
Uchiha Madara had injured their Kage like this, yet their Kage still treated him respectfully? Wasn't this too humiliating?
But it seemed like there was no choice, Otokage had been instantly subdued. He was their strongest. Doing this must have been out of necessity.
One by one, they all went silent. The Otokage saw them shut up and sighed in relief. Struggling to smile, he said, "Lord Uchiha Madara, I will now take you to Orochimaru."
Even though doing this would offend Orochimaru, if he didn't obey now, he would lose his life.
Now he even hoped this Lord Uchiha Madara would kill Orochimaru. Then he would truly be safe.
