I started my horror resurgence from Naruto

There is no such thing as leniency for confessing something.

People who do torture work are inevitably dark and suspicious in their minds. If Hyuga Naraku confesses everything like pouring beans, Morino Ibiki will probably become suspicious reflexively and suspect fraud, even if Hyuga Naraku tells the truth.

but,

If Hyuga Naraku stuttered and hesitated, and acted as if he had a secret but was discovered and questioned and had to reveal only a few words, Morino Ibiki would believe him without a doubt, even if every word he said was nonsense.

Like now!

"You mean to say that before Senekeda died, he asked you to do something? And you suspect that this thing is directly related to his death?" Morino Ibiki frowned.

"It's not a request, it's forcing me..." Hinata Naraku muttered aggrievedly, "That day, he blocked me at the door of the video store, dragged me back to his house, and forced me to help him do one thing, oh, no, two things."

"Is it one or two?" Morino Ibiki was always observing Hinata Naraku's expression. He initially believed what Hinata Naraku said, but he still remained professionally vigilant.

"Two!" Hinata Naraku thought for a moment, "One at first, and another later. Both times he dragged me to his house and forced me to agree."

What Hyuga Naraku said was basically consistent with the findings of Morino Ibiki's investigation. He had watched the surveillance camera on the road in front of his house and found that a few days before Morino Koda's death, Hyuga Naraku had indeed followed Morino Koda into the house. From the surveillance footage, Hyuga Naraku did have a sad face and looked like he was being coerced.

"So what are the two things?" Morino Ibiki felt that he was about to touch the truth.

"The first thing is to help him find a strange woman!" Hinata Naraku didn't seem to want to say it, but he still succumbed under Morino Ibiki's murderous gaze: "He told me that Morino Koda knew that the woman was hiding in the Forest of Death, and he hoped to use my Byakugan to find the specific location of the woman."

"Do you suspect that this woman killed Morino Koda and the others?" Morino Ibiki's pupils shrank slightly. Hinata Naraku's explanation corresponded to the "she" he subconsciously let slip when he was questioned for the first time.

Hinata Naraku nodded.

"Who is she?" Morino Ibiki continued to ask.

"I don't know." Hinata Naraku looked at Morino Ibiki's scrutinizing gaze and quickly added, "I really don't know. Morino Koda didn't tell me who she was. She and I had originally agreed to go into the Forest of Death to look for someone after the graduation exam, which was tonight."

"Then what are her characteristics?" Morino Ibiki took out his notebook and prepared to take notes. He was sure that Hyuga Naraku should know the answer to this question, otherwise, how could he help Morino Koda find someone.

Hyuga Naraku had an ugly look on his face, which made Morino Ibiki more certain of his judgment. His doubts now were, since Hyuga Naraku was not the real murderer of Morino Koda and others, why did he deliberately conceal all this and even refused to tell the truth even though he was suspected of murder.

What secrets are hidden behind this?

Even if Hinata Naraku really has nothing to do with the murder, he must have other problems himself. It seems that this [Illusion Murder Case] ​​is far from being as simple as he imagined.

"Black hair and white skirt!" Hinata Naraku said hesitantly with his eyes averted.

"Gone?"

"Ok!"

Morino Ibiki slammed the notebook shut, grabbed Hinata Naraku by the collar, and said, "You are lying. No, you are deliberately hiding something. There must be other important features that you didn't tell me. Why? Don't you want me to find that woman?"

If it were at the beginning, Morino Ibiki would have thought that Hinata Naraku's concealment was a sign of suspicion of murder, that is, he and the woman were accomplices.

But now, he realized that things were more complicated. Naraku Hinata did not participate in the murder, and he had not even found the woman he had contacted. So what was his motive for concealing it - gratitude or sheltering?

It doesn’t make sense!

Hinata Naraku is a selfish and cowardly person. At this point, he can't be hiding it for this reason, so there is only one reason left.

——He doesn’t want others to find him, he wants to find her by himself!!!

Morino Ibiki's heart was in turmoil: "The reason why Hyuga Naraku wants to find that woman must be the same as Morino Koda's. Hyuga Naraku could have learned something from Morino Koda."

Hyuga Naraku knew clearly that Morinakada was killed because he wanted to find that woman, but Hyuga Naraku still wanted to go looking for her alone.

If he is not crazy, it means that the benefits that finding that woman can bring to Hyuga Naraku are enough to make Hyuga Naraku willing to risk death.

The truth of the [Illusion Murder Case], the problems that Hinata Naraku concealed, the key to everything points to that woman. What kind of magic power does that woman hide?

"Aren't you afraid of following in the footsteps of Morino Koda and the others?" Morino Ibiki figured things out. He decided not to threaten Hinata Naraku with death anymore and instead use bribery. "I don't know what you want to do by finding her, but if you don't want to die in vain, you should tell me everything. You need my help."

Hinata Naraku's expression changed slightly, and he remained silent like a dead duck.

"I'm not interested in the secret of why that woman attracted you. All I want is to punish the murderer. Our goals should not conflict." Morino Ibiki persuaded him patiently. He lied and of course he wanted revenge, but that didn't stop him from developing a strong interest in the secret behind it.

A secret that makes Hinata Naraku prefer to be wronged, and even risk his life. It is hard to imagine what this secret represents?

wealth!

strength!

Still all!

"If you don't confess, I will have to report all of this to the Hokage. By then, the woman hiding in the Forest of Death will soon be exposed, but any secrets behind it will no longer have anything to do with you." Morino Ibiki sneered as he looked at Hinata Naraku's ever-changing expression.

Hinata Naraku gritted his teeth, stared at Morino Ibiki with cold eyes, and confided his inner voice in a very aggrieved manner: "I didn't mean to hide it. I just don't want to be called trash anymore. I don't want to be looked down upon by my classmates, tribesmen, and my genius Ou Doudou anymore. I don't want to live this kind of life of being bullied as trash anymore. So, even if I might die, I have to find that woman and get that strange power!"

Morino Ibiki's eyes lit up. It was basically consistent with his guess. The secret behind the woman was related to some kind of power. As a ninja, the hunger for power was an instinct imprinted in their genes.

"What do you mean?" Morino Ibiki glanced around subconsciously, and his voice was unconsciously lowered by three points.

Hinata Naraku showed hesitation again on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and spit out the truth: "Senakada and the others were not killed by anyone, they just failed the test!"

"A test?" Morino Ibiki hissed.

"A test to gain strength!"

With blood-stained cheeks and pale pupils the same color as the moon, Hinata Naraku licked the blood remaining on his teeth. When he spoke this secret, his whole body seemed to be possessed by a ghost, revealing a weirdness and fanaticism that made Morino Ibiki's heart palpitate.

[Villain's Language Art Level 2 is in effect, trust level ↑↑]

Hinata Naraku has always felt that the original version of "The Ring" overemphasized the horror and ignored the temptation. We must know that the underlying nature of human hearts is not only fear but also greed. Therefore, Hinata Naraku plans to make up a version that takes both into account, and Morino Ibiki is the first listener of the ghost stories he chose...
