Instead, he fully utilized his skill, making the specially made soft whip lash out like a venomous snake… This immediately made Sakura Haruno, who was accustomed to pride, suffer greatly.
But a person who encounters new things will slowly adapt.
Sakura Haruno was exactly like this.
Gradually, she only felt a strange tingling sensation permeating the pain in her body.
It coursed through her nerve endings like an electric current.
Giving Sakura Haruno a delusion.
It seemed less painful… but she couldn't describe the specific feeling… A bizarre yet harmonious scene gradually unfolded.
Those vivid red marks appeared crisscrossing.
Like some strange tattoo.
It looked shocking, yet miraculously, there was no broken skin or bleeding.
"Sakura! Sakura, what's wrong with you? Are you alright?"
Tenten, lying on the cold wooden horse, couldn't see what was happening behind her.
She could only hear her companion's cries of pain gradually changing in tone.
This made her anxious and terrified, as if she was going mad.
However, just as she was fully focused on Sakura Haruno's condition.
She suddenly felt something pressing on her back.
"Uh…"
Tenten trembled violently as if struck by an electric current, screaming, "What are you doing? Who… Don't touch me!"
Tenten panicked, trying to shake off the pressure.
But her firmly fixed posture made all her struggles futile.
Just then.
Di Yan's voice came from behind her.
Deep and with a hint of playful amusement, like the whisper of a demon:
"What am I doing? Tenten, what do you think?"
Just a few simple words, but they were like an ice pick, instantly piercing all of Tenten's psychological defenses.
Tenten wasn't stupid, nor was she a child anymore.
She understood his intention almost instantly.
She also understood the fate that was about to befall her.
For a moment, immense fear and despair engulfed her like a cold tide.
"No… don't… please…"
Tenten's tears rolled down like broken pearls.
She shook her head futilely, her black hair clinging messily to her sweaty temples and cheeks.
"Wuwuwu… no…"
She cursed incoherently, pleading.
But all her sounds were drowned out by Di Yan's chilling, gradually approaching breath from behind her.
There was a moment of silence behind her, but suddenly… Tenten suddenly felt something.
Goosebumps covered her entire body… Meanwhile, on the other side.
The executioner, Uchiha Izumi, had already completed her orders.
She silently retreated to the side.
She was like the most loyal shadow, silently guarding everything.
And at this moment, Sakura Haruno hung her head weakly, sobbing softly.
Her pink hair was drenched with sweat, looking a bit disheveled.
Yet, it possessed a unique charm, like a battle-worn version of herself.
At this point, Sakura Haruno didn't even have the strength to care about Tenten's situation anymore.
And Di Yan seemed to greatly enjoy Tenten's desperate struggles and cries.
So, he was like a cat playing with a mouse.
He leisurely savored his prey's fear and resistance.
He felt the subtle trembling of Tenten's youthful body… "What a… fragile reaction," Di Yan commented with a light laugh, his tone filled with the pleasure of being in control, "However, it does have a unique charm."
His words were like the most venomous blades.
Torturing Tenten's last shred of dignity and hope.
Tenten knew that no matter how much she cried or cursed.
She couldn't stop what was about to happen.
Desperate darkness completely devoured her.
"Mmm…"
...And on the other side.
Sakura Haruno struggled to breathe the fresh air.
"Hoo…"
The horrific punishment had blurred her consciousness.
She had just barely regained a sliver of clarity.
When she was drawn to the commotion beside her.
"Tenten…"
Sakura Haruno murmured, looking in the direction of the sound.
Then her whole body froze.
This… Watching Tenten's once bright and lively eyes slowly lose focus.
Sakura Haruno was stunned.
This visual impact struck deep into her soul.
It made Sakura Haruno more terrified than the previous punishment.
Her soft sobs stopped involuntarily.
Only her extremely suppressed breathing remained, due to fear.
She didn't even dare to make any extra movements.
Fearing that she would attract the demon's attention and have all of this happen to her.
For the first time, Sakura Haruno realized so clearly.
In front of this unfamiliar emperor.
All their resistance and will were so ridiculous and fragile.
After an unknown amount of time.
"Ding, communication with Tenten completed, obtained 'Elementary Ninja Tool Mastery'."
"System Reminder: Please communicate with Tenten multiple times, there is a chance to awaken Space Ninjutsu talent."
"Oh? Space Ninjutsu talent?" Di Yan's eyes lit up, "Interesting!"
Thinking of Space Ninjutsu.
Di Yan first thought of Flying Thunder God.
Among all Space Ninjutsu, this thing was known as the most difficult Space Ninjutsu to master.
And Kamui relied on the Sharingan, so it naturally couldn't be compared.
Originally, Di Yan thought he couldn't learn Flying Thunder God.
0 · Please give fresh flowers --- But he didn't expect a turn for the better.
For a moment, Di Yan was in a great mood.
Does this mean that if he communicates with Tenten a few more times.
He could master Flying Thunder God?
It seems Tenten wasn't as useless as she thought!
Indeed, each one of them was a treasure!
Thinking this, Di Yan adjusted his angle and position.
Allowing Tenten and Sakura Haruno to see each other, breaking down both their wills.
From childhood, Tenten had mostly been exposed to various strange Ninja Tools.
But even so, she was still bewildered by these sets of punishments.
Especially when she saw Sakura Haruno being tortured… This scene was like the last straw that broke the camel's back… She… completely collapsed… Tenten didn't know how she felt, only that tears flowed uncontrollably.
And at the same time.
Sakura Haruno didn't have the chance to lament the unfairness of fate.
"Tenten…" Sakura Haruno murmured, her green eyes also filled with tears, "How could this happen… how could this…"
However, before Sakura's words could finish… she saw Di Yan stretch.
Then, with unhurried steps, he walked towards her… More precisely.
He walked behind her…
