I started my horror resurgence from Naruto

Forest of death.

The chilly wind blew eerily from the bottom of the well, making a "whimpering" sound, as if the well mouth was the open mouth of a living creature, with a breathing trachea connected to the bottom of the cave, and the half-human corpse stuck in the mud and moss was the food that was swallowed and stuck in the throat.

Because the Hokage was coming to inspect the crime scene, the Anbu professionally left Morino Ibiki's body stuck at the bottom of the well without attempting to retrieve it in order to protect the scene from being destroyed.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived, what he saw was Morino Ibiki who remained in his original appearance - half of his legs were sunk in the mud at the bottom of the well, his body was half bent forward, and his hands were facing downwards in a strange posture, hugging the air, it looked like he had dug something out of the mud with his bare hands and was putting it into his arms.

There was clearly nothing in his arms, but the blood vessels in his arms were bulging, as if he was really struggling with the thing in his arms, leaving countless dark and thin marks on his wrists, and the skin on his wrists was cracked, revealing dense cracks.

The Anbu judged that it was some kind of silk thread, tough but sharp, but strangely, after a careful search in the well, the Anbu could not find even a trace of the thread.

The strangest thing about the whole corpse was that it was clearly bent forward, with its whole body wrestling towards the bottom of the well, but Morino Ibiki's neck was twisted backwards at an alarming angle, so that the skin on his neck was covered with fine lines that overlapped in circles, just like a screw that had been twisted counterclockwise countless times.

shocking!

The neck was twisted thin, and the muscles and throat inside had long been broken into pieces, but the head was still firmly hanging on the neck, tilted backwards in an extremely strange way, bleeding from all seven orifices, and especially the pair of eyeballs that were bulging as if they were about to fall out of the eye sockets, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.

"hiss--"

Even though the Hokage was well-informed and had a heart as cold as stone, when he stood at the wellhead and looked down at the first sight, he breathed out a cold air, felt his neck sore, and a chill ran through the back of his head.

"Two people?" Sarutobi Hiruzen calmed down and gave his first judgment.

"Yes, that's the initial judgment of the Anbu. Morino Ibiki should have been facing two enemies at the same time. One was at the bottom of the well, and the other suddenly attacked from behind and broke his neck." The Anbu investigator replied, but his tone was a little hesitant. "But the strange thing is that we couldn't find any clues from the wellhead. There were no footprints, no blood, no hair, and not even any residual chakra fluctuations. It was as if one of the two men suddenly emerged from the mud at the bottom of the well, and the other emerged out of thin air behind him. After killing the people, the two murderers disappeared together."

"Yeah." Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't show any reaction on his face. He turned his gaze away calmly, "Let's fish out Morino Ibiki. Have you figured out the time of death of the body?"

"No more than two hours."

"If it's two hours, the Yamanaka clan should still have enough time to read the memory fragments." Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and ordered, "Let the Yamanaka clan send someone to assist in the investigation."

The Yamanaka clan is a die-hard faction of the Hokage, and is famous for their secret technique - the Mind Transmigration Technique, which is a secret technique for controlling the mind. They are good at searching the brain memories of the living, and can also read limited memory fragments of the freshly dead that have not yet dissipated.

of course,

This method of searching the brain and reading memories has very cruel side effects and is not easily allowed to be used on living people. There is no need to worry about side effects on the dead, but the Yamanaka clan is not willing to easily explore the secrets of the dead without permission or orders from the Hokage.

because,

People who know too many secrets usually don’t live long, especially secrets about the dead, which can easily involve the living.

"Who was the first to discover the body?"

While waiting for the Yamanaka clan to arrive, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "This well is located in a very remote area. Who is so lucky to come here in the middle of the night to step on corpses?"

"Aburame Shino." The Anbu took out his notebook and answered, "He is from the Aburame clan, and he is a graduate of the Ninja School this year. According to him, because there are many bugs in the Death Forest, and the bugs are particularly active at night, he often comes to the Death Forest at this time to look for and observe bugs."

"Maybe they will build an insect nest in some remote corner?" Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered. Although Konoha has already allocated a large piece of land to the Aburame clan to cultivate and breed insects, and has repeatedly forbidden them to breed insects everywhere, there will always be some people who can't get rid of the bad habit of leaving insects everywhere.

"Well, the ANBU has already warned him." The ANBU continued, "According to Aburame Shino, it was his bugs that sensed the presence of a dead person nearby. He came to investigate and found Morino Ibiki's body at the wellhead."

Sarutobi Hiruzen acknowledged the confession of the Anbu: "Did he see anyone else?"

"No!" The Anbu paused. "Even his bugs didn't sense any smell of other humans in the well. However, his bugs did sense that the bottom of the well was connected to the ground. The Anbu was investigating and found that the bottom of the well was indeed connected to a winding tunnel, and it was like a huge underground maze with many connections."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. He thought of Mizuki who disappeared in the chaos on the night when the Jinchuriki stole the Book of Seals. Hatake Kakashi also made the same discovery at that time.

The underground maze was dug by Mizuki;

Could it be that Mizuki was also involved in Morino Ibiki's death?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused. In fact, he didn't believe from the bottom of his heart: Mizuki could dig a maze underground without anyone noticing. Could Mizuki have such ability?

[Shuimu, wrapped in a flesh cocoon, has no idea of ​​Sarutobi Hiruzen's judgment. He has lost all desire for life and just numbly watches the aliens come in and out every day. The flesh cocoons next to him are increasing day by day. Is this monster storing food for the winter? Shuimu's skin is numb, and he hopes that Konoha will arrest him quickly. Please, fear value +1...]

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he had to urge Hatake Kakashi to advance the investigation, so that the latter would not spend all day and night in the "Intimate Paradise" section of the video store and would not leave.

"Another question is, why did Morino Ibiki appear here so late at night, or what was in this well that attracted Morino Ibiki?" Sarutobi Hiruzen had clear thoughts and noticed the most critical part of the problem.

"The only suspicious thing at the bottom of the well is the maze tunnel leading to the underground. However, Morino Ibiki did not continue going down. He seemed to be hoping to fish something out of the mud, but there was clearly nothing in the mud." The Anbu also felt that there was something weird about the whole thing.

It seems that

The key secret is still in Ibiki Morino's mind!

Wearing a ninja vest, with yellow hair hanging down to his waist in a ponytail, and with a solemn and cold face, Yamanaka Inichi arrived at the crime scene with Dokurokai, Tobatake Qingting, and several other members of Konohagakure's secret analysis team.

"Let's start!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Yamanaka Ino and nodded.

"Remember, you are only allowed to read the memory fragments of Morino Ibiki before his death." Yamanaka Inichi emphasized this to Dokurokai and Feizhu Qingting, and he also said this to everyone else present.

After all, Morino Ibiki is the head of the Anbu's interrogation department. God knows how much confidential information of the Anbu is hidden in his mind. If you investigate recklessly, you might end up in danger of death.

of course,

Due to the lack of effective supervision, it is difficult for outsiders to judge how much of the deceased's memory they have actually read. This is a matter of self-awareness and trust.

"Hi!"*2

Du Lehui and Fei Zhu Qingting looked solemn and put their hands on the hideous and terrifying face of the corpse. They saw...
