Chapter 332 The New Sannin and the Box of Bliss
The country of grass.
Originally, it was a small country sandwiched between the two great nations of Fire and Earth. It was not until later that it was annexed by the Earth Country during the Fourth Ninja War.
But the Grass Ninja Village, which belongs to the Country of Grass, has been preserved.
The reason lies in the famous "Ghost Lantern City".
Ghost Town is actually a prison, located on a small island surrounded by the sea near Cao Ninja Village. It was named because the island is covered with ghost lantern fruits.
The special thing about this prison is that it was commissioned by the major powers to build the Kusakunin Village and was specially used to detain serious ninjas.
So, how can Ghost City gain the trust of major ninja villages to take in serious criminals from all over the ninja world?
In addition to the special terrain, the more important reason is that the person in charge here has mastered a sealing technique called "Fire Release·Tianlao".
This technique can penetrate the chakra-binding chains into the prisoner's body, making him unable to condense chakra and perform any ninjutsu, making him no different from ordinary people.
Whenever a prisoner tries to escape, the sealing technique in his body will turn into a chain of flames and burn him alive.
Even if someone is lucky enough to escape from prison, without the help of chakra, the possibility of crossing the sea with rough waves and sharks with flesh and blood is infinitely close to zero.
Hence.
Since the completion of the Ghost City Prison, it has been highly praised by the major ninja villages. They have thrown their troublesome felons into the Ghost City for decades.
For the prisoners, it is a **** where there is no return.
So far, there is only one prisoner who has been able to escape from Ghost Light City, and that is Kakuzu, the elite Jonin of Taki Ninja Village who once assassinated the First Hokage.
However, after learning about this incident, before Taki Ninja Village had time to give the Ghost City Prison a bad review, its top management was blamed by Kakuzu.
Since then, Ghost Lantern City has strengthened its guards, and until now, there has not been a second prison break.
In short, it takes in the most vicious criminals in the entire ninja world and locks them together so that they can never see the light of day again and run out to harm the ninja world.
This is the meaning of the existence of Ghost City Prison.
So, even though the Kingdom of Grass has perished, the group of Grass Ninjas has survived and continues to be stationed in Ghost City, managing prisoners for the major Ninja villages.
Late night.
Da da da.
Clear footsteps sounded in the corridor of the prison area, and two guards came to a cell.
"Prisoner Mei Naruko, the Lord of the City wants to see you."
A guard said expressionlessly, taking the key and opening the cell door. Another guard knocked on the pillar of the cell with a stick in his hand, urging the prisoner to come out quickly.
"…Yes, sir."
As a timid voice sounded, a girl wearing a brown prison uniform, with blond hair tied into twin tails, walked out of the cell tremblingly and barefoot.
click.
She was shackled and escorted by guards through the prison area, and finally arrived at the city lord's office in the center of Ghost Lantern City.
City Lord Wuwei is not in the office.
The two guards looked at each other. One of them walked to the bookshelf with ease, found the third blue-covered book from the left, and opened it.
In the surprised eyes of Mei Naruko.
Rumble.
With the sound of the mechanism starting up, the bookshelf slowly opened to both sides, and a secret door appeared.
There was darkness behind the secret door, and a staircase extended down to the unknown depths, as if it was the end of the abyss, and there was a cold and dark atmosphere.
“It turned out to be hidden here, no wonder I can’t find it.”
Seeing this scene, Mei Naruko's eyes flashed and she murmured.
“What are you mumbling about? Let’s go!”
One of the guards pushed Mi Naruko with a fierce expression.
"I know, don't be so cruel." Mi Naruko looked aggrieved. Even at this time, she was still in a cute mood.
You idiot, you don’t know that you are about to die.
The two guards looked at each other, sneered, and then escorted Mi Naruko down the dark steps.
About ten minutes passed.
At the end of the steps, a door appeared, and lights and some kind of whispers could be faintly seen coming from inside.
Creak.
As the guard opened the door, Mei Naruko's eyes narrowed and she saw a strange sight.
What appeared in front of her was an old operating room, with a blood-stained operating table in the middle, and various instruments and medicine jars on both sides.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a huge human face carved on the wall of the operating room. It is not clear whether it is a man or a woman, but its expression looks very sad.
At this time, a group of ninjas wearing black cloaks and cow-horse masks were standing in a row, chanting to the faces on the wall, as if they were performing some kind of pious prayer ceremony.
It wasn’t until the ceremony was completed that the guard cautiously spoke:
“Mr. City Lord, the person you requested has been brought.”
"Um?"
A middle-aged man with long black hair and a cold face turned around, his sharp eyes falling on Mei Naruko.
He is the lord of this ghost city prison - Wuwei.
He is also the current leader of Kusanagi Village.
As for the masked men in black robes around him, without exception, they were all senior officials of the Grass Ninja Village.
“Then, let’s get started.”
Wuwei withdrew his gaze and said something lightly. A group of men in black robes immediately walked towards Mei Naruko and surrounded her.
“What are you going to do?”
With a look of horror on her face, Mi Naruko was pinned down on the operating table by two guards under the gaze of everyone, and her wrists and ankles were handcuffed.
“Noisy.”
Wuwei frowned, took a syringe from the guard, found Mi Naruko's vein, and injected the medicine inside into her body.
Mi Naruko stopped making noises because her whole body was paralyzed, including her tongue.
Huh~
Wuwei took a deep breath, looked down at Mei Naruko on the operating table, and said to the latter with burning eyes:
“You are the one with the most amazing amount of chakra among this group of prisoners, and you are also the best sacrifice we have been waiting for for many years. I hope you won’t let us down again this time.”
Hearing this, Mei Naruko couldn't help but widen her eyes, her expression frightened and desperate.
Wuwei and other high-level grass ninjas all laughed strangely, all of them full of enthusiasm and excitement.
After laughing.
"drink!"
Wuwei shouted sharply, quickly formed a seal, and injected his chakra into the giant face on the wall.
The next second.
The human face slowly opened its mouth, and a hurricane-like suction force suddenly surged out and acted on Mi Naruko.
“Woo woo…”
Minaruko let out an indistinct scream in her throat, and chakra leaked out from her abdomen crazily, forming a stream of purple energy that flew continuously towards the big mouth of the human face.
During this process.
The face that had swallowed up Mei Naruko's chakra shone brightly, as if it was really coming to life.
at this time.
“Save me quickly, stop watching the show!”
Menaruko, who was on the operating table, suddenly shouted into the darkness.
Um?
The words just fell.
咻!
A ninja sword wrapped in blue electricity flew from outside the door, cutting off the purple energy flow between Mi Naruko and the giant human face on the spot, causing the sacrificial ceremony to be suspended. "who?!"
In an instant, all the senior grass ninjas, including Wuwei, showed their weapons and looked at the door of the operating room.
“Who would have thought that the real purpose of the Grass Ninja Village in building a prison in Ghost Light City was to use the prisoners as batteries and use their chakra to open the Box of Bliss from ancient times.”
“I heard that the city lord here even sacrificed his own son in order to open the box. Compared with him, my hateful father looks like a good man.”
Two voices, one male and one female, sounded one after another.
Sasuke and Marissa walked into the operating room amidst the surprised looks of Wuwei and others.
Before they could react.
“Damn it, next time there is a mission like this, I will definitely not pretend to be a criminal. It’s too painful.”
Mi Naruko complained on the operating table. As soon as she finished speaking, a huge burst of chakra suddenly erupted from her body, knocking Wuwei and others away on the spot.
click.
Easily breaking free from the shackles on her wrists and ankles, Minaruko jumped off the operating table, returned to Sasuke and Marisa, and then transformed with a "bang".
From a beautiful girl in poverty, she turned into a boy with yellow hair and blue eyes - Uzumaki Naruto.
“Haha, who told you to lose the guessing game?”
Sasuke raised the corners of his mouth and said something gloating.
“Brother Naruto…”
Marisa stared at Naruto and said seriously, "To be honest, you looked pretty good when you turned into Naruko, why don't you change back."
…”
Naruto's face twitched, with black lines on his face.
“You, are you...?”
A senior grass ninja pointed at the three of them and said with a trembling voice, "Konoha's...new Sannin?"
Hearing this, Sasuke stretched out his hand, and the Amancongyun Sword stuck on the wall flew back to his hand with a whoosh.
“Why must we call him the New Sannin?”
He sighed and turned to look at his two companions, "We are much better than the Sannin back then, right?"
"Of course."
Marissa raised her fist and looked at the grass ninjas, eager to try.
At this time.
Wuwei, who had been silent since just now, finally narrowed his eyes and spoke:
"You must have been sent here by the Sixth Hokage. Haha, I didn't expect that even Uchiha Dan, the number one person in the ninja world, covets the Box of Bliss. It seems that he also has a wish that he wants to realize."
Sasuke shook his head and showed a disdainful smile.
Then, he pointed to the faces on the wall and said to Wuwei:
“The human face behind you is actually one side of a box. It has three other sides also engraved with human faces, representing the four human emotions of happiness, anger, sadness and joy respectively.
This is the Bliss Box of Kusanagi Village.
It is said that as long as someone can open this box, it can help him realize a wish-no matter what that wish is.
In the era of the Six Paths Sage, the Grass Ninja Village almost dominated the entire ninja world with the help of the Box of Bliss.
City Lord Wuwei, your family has been a household guard for generations. Now that it’s your generation, you finally have the opportunity to open the Box of Bliss. Unfortunately, the final result may disappoint you. "
Hearing Sasuke tell so many secrets in one breath, the expressions of the top ninja officials all changed.
"How do you know this?" Wuwei stared at Sasuke, unable to remain calm in his heart.
"In this world, no secret can be hidden from the eyes of the Sixth Hokage. His reincarnation eye has already seen through everything."
Sasuke said calmly, full of awe and admiration for his uncle from the bottom of his heart.
He just finished speaking.
“Kill these guys, don’t let them take the Box of Bliss!”
Wuwei shouted sharply and took the lead in attacking Sasuke and the other three.
“Get started.”
Sasuke also shouted coldly. Without saying a word, Naruto and Marisa joined the grass ninjas in fighting.
A thrilling battle was staged in this small underground operating room.
A few minutes later.
The night sky was dotted with stars, and the playground of Ghost Light City Prison was empty. Occasionally, a few mice squeaked and ran across the ground.
suddenly.
Boom!
A huge beam of light shot up from the ground, blasting a large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters in the ground. A large number of cracks appeared on the ground of the playground, and it collapsed.
"what happened?"
This huge movement quickly attracted the guards of the prison and woke up the sleeping prisoners.
Swish, swish, swish.
Sasuke and the three of them rushed out of the ground one after another. Along with them, there was a strange box seven or eight meters high with human faces carved on all sides. It hit the ground with a loud clang.
Subsequently.
City Lord Wuwei also crawled out from the ground, but at this time, he was covered in blood and scars, as if he was seriously injured.
Except for him, the rest of the senior grass ninjas were killed by Konoha's "New Sannin".
Even though I have heard the names of these three little ghosts for a long time, I will only understand how terrifying these three monsters are after I fight them personally.
Unfortunately, Wuwei understood it too late.
“Is that...the Lord of the City?”
“The city lord has been attacked, hurry up and kill the intruder!”
A group of guards shouted and rushed towards Sasuke and the other three.
唰.
Sasuke just looked back, and a pair of scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan glanced over everyone. All the guards were shocked and fell down like wheat.
“This guy’s life is pretty tough.”
Marissa frowned when she saw Wuwei's escape, clenched her fists and was about to go over to hit the target, but she was held back by Naruto:
"Have you forgotten, Marissa, the Sixth Generation said that Mowei should be spared? After all, once he dies, the seals on the prisoners here will be automatically lifted, and they can run out and cause trouble to the ninja world."
Hearing this, Wuwei slumped down on the ground and showed a miserable smile:
"Ha, the Sixth Hokage is really... kind. So, what wish does he intend to make after opening the Box of Bliss?"
After speaking, he looked at the box of bliss beside him, his eyes full of reluctance and reluctance.
“You still don’t understand the situation.”
Sasuke walked up to Wuwei, looked at the Lord of Ghost Lantern City with pity, and slowly said, "No matter what the Sixth Hokage wants, you can easily get it without making a wish in a box.
Besides, the so-called Box of Bliss is just a ninja tool made by the Sage of Six Paths. Now even he himself is surpassed by the Sixth Generation, not to mention the mere ninja he made will not be taken seriously by the Sixth Generation. inside.
Wuwei, open your eyes and take a good look at the cruel truth hidden inside the Box of Bliss. "
Then.
With a look of horror on his face, Sasuke walked up to the Box of Bliss and put one of his hands on the box.
Then, with a loud dragon roar, the chakra in Sasuke's body poured into the box like a river and an ocean.
Hum buzz!
The Chest of Bliss shines brightly.
It was opened.
