Chapter 836: Staring impolitely for three hours...
Tsunade wore a deadpan expression while Fujin awkwardly looked at the dissipating soul and thought, 'Jeez, that's embarrassing. I didn't think it'd be so brittle…'
He sighed, "The soul was too weak. I didn't expect it to crumble from such a gentle nudge…"
Not wanting to embarrass Fujin, Tsunade said, "It's alright. We still have enough prisoners."
Fujin nodded. Another prisoner was unwillingly dragged into the gates of hell and had his soul extracted and sliced by two of Konoha's top ninjas. This time, Fujin was extremely careful. Instead of using his Yin chakra directly, Fujin created chakra threads of Yin chakra to manipulate the injured soul and pushed it back into the prisoner's body.
Tsunade was surprised. She thought, 'These are chakra threads from Suna's puppeteering techniques. That's another technique that needs a lot of time and excellent chakra control... How much did he abuse the Multi Shadow Clone technique? And, why didn't anyone stop him? It isn't safe to use that jutsu without any constraint.'
Before Tsunade could ask Fujin about it, the prisoner woke up for a moment. In that instant, he felt pain like never before. He lost consciousness even before he could open his mouth to scream. Even though he gained consciousness for only a fraction of a second, Fujin and Tsunade noticed it. Complicated expressions appeared on their faces. Fujin thought, 'He smiled while feeling such pain? Sigh…'
Even though Fujin and Hiruzen had a very close relationship on the surface, Fujin didn't entirely trust him. He didn't agree with several of his policies and some of his past actions among other things. However, as a ninja, Fujin had no choice but to pay the highest respect to Hiruzen.
Tsunade said, "You've done a good job, Fujin. Leave the rest to me."
She took a couple of steps and stood next to the unconscious prisoner. Extending her palm towards him, she thought, 'I can't treat him as a test subject. I have to assume that I'm treating Sensei. There is no scope for being complacent.'
