Chapter 499 The Box of Bliss Opened (5k)
Kakashi and others are working hard to investigate the evidence.
Long Fei contacted the top management of Grass Flower to prepare for the next turmoil.
Yokokawa Tsutomu didn’t know that he had been labeled as dead in the eyes of Kusana.
Totoo Yokokawa is very annoyed now, very annoying.
Because Kusana has recently turned into a mad dog and is looking for trouble for him, Yokogawa Tsutomu once doubted whether there was a spy in his camp who leaked the news, and Kusana knew something.
However, the matter has come to this, even if Long Fei comes to the grass ninja leader's office to question him in person, Yokogawa Tsutomu will not stop his plan.
He has already reached this point. The entire Kusanagi Village has entered the war between Konoha and Iwagakure. It is impossible to escape easily. The only way to break the situation is to open the Box of Bliss.
"Contact the frontline troops and ask them to deliver the next batch of chakra as soon as possible." Yokokawa Nu thought for a while and felt that he should open the box of bliss as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
The grass ninja ANBU next to him quickly nodded and executed the order.
"What's the matter with you? Why do you look like you haven't slept well?" Long Fei walked into the office building and found that the ninjas he met looked listless and lacked energy.
“Gather the elders together.” Yokokawa Tsutomu thought and prepared to act immediately.
The grass ninja ANBU didn’t say anything anymore, but he didn’t get out of the way either.
"We have made so much effort. Even if Hua knows about it, we can only continue to act. As long as the box of bliss is opened, everything will be fine." Wu Chang replied in a deep voice.
With a serious look on his face, Wu Chang analyzed for Yokokawa Tsutomu the difficulties Kusano Minoru and Kusanagi Village might face in the future.
Although the concepts are different, everyone is for the grass shinobi village and will not be divided between life and death.
“The leader is dealing with important matters, no one is allowed to enter.” The grass ninja ANBU said expressionlessly.
Since he was betting, of course he also thought about the consequences of losing the bet, but what Kusanagi discovered was much faster than he expected, making his originally ample time somewhat insufficient.
"Elder Long Fei, please stop obstructing the leader. Only he can lead our Kusanagi Village to strength and prosperity." The Kusanagi ANBU in turn advised Long Fei not to go against Yokogawa Tsutomu.
Long Fei was speechless. Did he want to hinder him? Konoha's Liyang Muyue had sneaked into the Grass Ninja Village.
Also the client, Yokokawa Nudo does not need to complete any commission tasks before ordering the Box of Bliss to be opened.
"Since Hana has discovered it, there is no need to cover it up. Stop the daily work of the Grass Ninja Village and let the ninjas refine all the chakra and transport it into the Box of Bliss so that the Box of Bliss can be opened as soon as possible." Impermanence then suggested. .
"A life-or-death situation? It's not that big of a deal, we are all grass ninjas." Tsutomu Yokokawa felt that Impermanence was a bit too radical.
Long Fei looked puzzled. He remembered that Tsutomu Yokokawa didn't believe in the legend as he did, so why would he use his power so unscrupulously to open the Box of Bliss at this point?
"The Box of Bliss cannot be opened, and the village cannot become stronger. Under the accountability of Kusanagi, Lord Yokokawa Tsutomu, you can only take the blame and resign. If Konoha gains an advantage in the next war, it will also attack the Kusanagi Village. Accountability…”
Forget about other positions, entrusted tasks are the core of the Ninja Village.
“Where is Tsutomu Yokokawa? Take me there before he makes a big mistake.” Long Fei ordered the ANBU.
Long Fei couldn't help but frown when he saw the other party's behavior, but because there were more important things, he could only ignore it for now.
The worried Tsutomu Yokokawa called his most trusted person, Wu Chang, to discuss the next matter.
When Long Fei walked to the door of the grass ninja leader's office, the ANBU guarding the door stretched out his hand to stop him.
In the competition on the speed of collecting evidence, Long Fei was the winner in the end, completing the collection of definite evidence faster than Kakashi and the others.
Yokokawa Tsutomu showed a thinking expression, and it must be said that the decision of Impermanence was very radical.
"Judging from Hana's performance, they may have already known about the cooperation with Iwagakure, but I don't know whether someone turned to Hana's side or whether it was the result of Hana's own investigation." Tsutomu Yokokawa said.
"Sorry, Elder Long Fei, I had trouble sleeping last night." The grass ninja casually found an excuse and said perfunctorily.
"Now it's a political struggle to the death. If we, Cao Zhishi, don't take action, then Cao Zhishi's disaster will come." Wu Chang said with a serious face.
“Isn’t this guy trying to open that box?” Long Fei thought of the legendary box among the grass ninjas that could grant wishes.
Personally, he prefers that there is an insider. If Cao Zhihua had found out the definite evidence through his own investigation, Long Fei would have used the evidence to ride on his face.
Long Fei didn't waste much time and slapped the grass ninja ANBU with one palm. Yokokawa Tsutomu had already made a big mistake, so the ANBU commanded by Yokokawa Tsutomu would also have problems.
"Sure enough, people will not be able to survive as they age. Fortunately, Wuchang is here. You are right. The most important thing now is to open the Box of Bliss. Everything else is unimportant." Tsutomu Yokokawa smiled and patted Wuchang. The shoulder agreed.
Radical? Their main focus is radicalism!
Yokogawa Tsutomu really feels that the heir to Wu Chang has been cultivated in vain. Not only is he excellent in strength, but his radical momentum is even stronger than when he was young.
When the wooden door completely collapsed, Long Fei saw an empty office.
Long Fei's face turned completely dark. He didn't go to work in broad daylight at this time, and when he thought about the state of grass ninja he had observed along the way, Long Fei had a bad feeling in his heart.
To do this would basically be a complete showdown with Flowers of Grass, and it would also offend some of the clients.
boom!
"Yokokawa Tsutomu, you have the ability to join the war secretly but you don't dare to see me?" Long Fei kicked down the door of the grass ninja leader's office and cursed.
"Get out of the way, no matter what he is dealing with, he must give me an explanation today!" Long Fei did not give the grass ninja Anbu face.
The grass ninja Anbu tried hard to stop Ryuufei, but he was no match for Ryuufei. He was also weak because he had been repeatedly providing chakra to the Box of Bliss yesterday, and Ryuufei was knocked to the ground in two strokes.
…
Yokokawa Tsutomu nodded, he thought so too.
Seeing that Long Fei had discovered it, the grass ninja ANBU stopped pretending.
After completing the collection of evidence, Long Fei first handed the evidence to Mu Yue, and then took the evidence to the office of the grass ninja leader under Mu Yue's instructions.
"When the client sees you like this, can he have confidence in the abilities of our grass ninjas?" Long Fei couldn't help scolding.
"Do you think it's just me who knows about the things you did? Konoha's ninjas have been here for a long time, but they never took action." Long Fei knew that he couldn't change the minds of Tsutomu Yokogawa with just a few words, so he directly Moved out of Konoha.
“Lieyang Muyue is now in the Grass Ninja Village, and besides him, there may be other Konoha ninjas lurking in the Grass Ninja Village. Now only Yokogawa Tsutomu’s voluntary confession is the best way to reduce the loss.”
“Lieyang Muyue is in the village?!” The confidence on the face of the grass ninja Anbu disappeared, and his pupils suddenly expanded.
That was a ruthless man who had killed Jinchūriki on the battlefield on the east coast of the Land of Fire. Even with the help of ninja troops, it proved his terrifying strength.
“Elder Long Fei, why don’t you report such an important matter to the leader?” The grass ninja Anbu seemed to have seen Mu Yue killing everyone in the grass ninja village.
“I would also like to ask Tsutomu Yokokawa why he didn’t discuss such an important matter with me in cooperating with Iwagakure!” Long Fei replied angrily.
He is not stupid. Telling Tsutomu Yokokawa would have completely offended Konoha. When Konoha takes its hand, a random ninja troop can be sent to level the grass ninja village, and all the grass ninjas will be finished.
“Hurry up and tell me Yokokawa Tsutomu’s location, don’t waste time.”
The Grass Ninja Anbu shook his head, "As long as the leader opens the Box of Bliss, let alone the blazing sun and the moon, even if there is another yellow flash, the Grass Ninja Village will still not be afraid."
“Elder Long Fei, don’t waste your time. I don’t know where the leader is now.”
In order to prevent the mole, Yokokawa Tsutomu changed places with the Box of Bliss every day. Except for the ninja who was going to transport chakra that day, no one knew where Yokokawa Tsutomu would be today.
But the ninja who needed to transport chakra that day could only leave in the early morning, so it was almost impossible for Tsutomu Yokokawa's whereabouts to be exposed.
Seeing that there was no way to get useful information from the Grass Ninja Anbu, Long Fei had to summon all the Grass Flower ninjas to search, and at the same time informed Mu Yue about Yokogawa Tsutomu.
Since it was time to close the net, Mu Yue used the Flying Thunder God Technique to stop the Kakashi team and the Nara Suzaku team who were still investigating, indicating that the intelligence collection work had been completed and the next stage could be entered.
“In other words, Teacher Muyue, you have won over the conservative forces in the Grass Ninja Village. Now we only need to eliminate the radical forces headed by the Grass Ninja leader.” Kakashi analyzed. Kakashi didn’t expect that Mu Yue could do such an important thing quietly by herself.
It is much better to carry out revenge according to Mu Yue's layout than to directly kill indiscriminately. Not only is the workload reduced, but Konoha will also gain greater benefits.
“Then let’s go find that Yokokawa Tsutomu quickly. As long as we knock him down, the mission will be completed.” Obito’s spirit was shaken, and he finally came to the link he was better at.
When gathering information, he is vague and unclear, but in battle, he strikes hard.
“Zhihui, can you sense the location of the bug on Hua Ling’s body?” Mu Yue looked at Aburame Zhihui.
Hearing Mu Yue suddenly mention Uzumaki Rei, Kakashi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and understood why the grass ninja leader wanted to keep Uzumaki Rei.
Although I don’t know what the Box of Bliss is, that thing requires chakra, and the members of the Uzumaki clan all have good chakra.
Kakashi once again felt Mu Yue’s thoughtfulness. If Mu Yue hadn’t been worried about Uzumaki Karin’s safety and asked Aburame Shiki to place special bugs on her body, then it might not be easy for them to find Yokogawa Tsutomu.
Aburame Shiki condensed the chakra seal and then nodded and started to lead the way.
…
Underground base.
"Work hard to refine the chakra input. Every chakra you output will become the cornerstone of the grass ninja's rise!" Tsutomu Yokokawa encouraged the grass ninjas while sending the corpses they sent into the box of bliss.
As a sacrificer, Tsutomu Yokokawa can clearly feel the increasingly powerful chakra in the Box of Bliss.
It’s almost ready to be opened, just a little bit away.
As time went by, each and every grass ninja lay on the ground gasping for air due to excessive chakra consumption, and soon most of the grass ninjas looked like they were in trouble.
At the same time, Yokokawa Tsutomu's ninja corpses were also exhausted, but the Bliss Box was still in that little awkward bottleneck.
Yokokawa Tsutomu looked calm and did not become angry because of this. He was fully prepared to open the Box of Bliss, and no accidents would happen.
"You happened to come to Kusakunin Village at this most critical time. Maybe this is God's will." Looking at Uzumaki Karin who was knocked unconscious, Tsutomu Yokokawa smiled.
If Uzumaki Rei hadn't been there, he might not have had time to open the Bliss Box before Kusanohana discovered it.
At that time, in order to protect the achievements, he will be forced to engage in civil war with the Flower of Grass and force the other party to surrender. Now the result is much better.
"Is this Hua Ling? I will remember this name and thank you for your contribution to Kusanagi Village and the Country of Grass." Tsutomu Yokokawa activated the secret technique and began to sacrifice the chakra in Hua Ling's body.
Feeling the chakra inside the Bliss Box becoming stronger rapidly, Tsutomu Yokokawa felt extremely happy. He even thought that if he had a granddaughter in the future, he could name her Karin as a way of thanking her for his contribution to Kusanagi, even though Karin did not do it voluntarily.
“You came here so quickly?” Tsutomu Yokokawa was a little surprised when he felt the layout around the underground base.
He did such a good job of keeping secrets, yet he was found by Grass Flower so quickly. It should be said that he was an old enemy who had been entangled with him for half his life.
Yokokawa Tsutomu increased the speed of sacrifice and prepared to feed Uzumaki Rei directly to the Bliss Box.
“Impermanence, go out and intercept him. This is a critical moment and I don’t want to be disturbed.” Yokogawa Nu turned to Impermanence and said.
Now comes the most important step, Yokokawa Tsutomu doesn’t want to have any surprises.
But something happened that shocked Tsutomu Yokokawa. As if Wu Chang didn't hear his order, he didn't even look at him and kept looking at the Box of Bliss.
“Impermanence!” Tsutomu Yokokawa thought that Impermanence was being deceived, and shouted loudly.
He never thought that Wu Chang would betray him. After all, Wu Chang was his heir, and his interests were Wu Chang's interests. Wu Chang could not betray himself.
Wuchang turned to look at Yokokawa Tsutomu, then nodded and walked around.
Just when Yokokawa Tsutomu was relieved and continued to sacrifice Uzumaki Rei.
boom!
When Wu Chang passed by Yokogawa Tsutomu, he punched fiercely and knocked Yokogawa Tsutomu away with one punch.
Yokokawa Tsutomu flew upside down and hit the hard Bliss Box hard.
Yokogawa Tsutomu looked at Wu Chang with anger and confusion in his eyes. He didn’t understand why Wu Chang would betray him at this time.
Whether it is in terms of interests or emotions, he can't find a reason for Wu Chang to betray him.
The only thing that can barely make sense is that he made a mistake. Impermanence is not loyal to the grass ninja. He has a wish that he wants to realize.
After punching Tsutomu Yokokawa, Mu Yue did not continue to pursue, but treated Uzumaki Karin.
If Tsutomu Yokokawa continues to sacrifice, it may have an adverse effect on Uzumaki Karei's body.
Mu Yue's actions made Tsutomu Yokokawa even more confused. After betraying him, he didn't kill him quickly and turned around to heal Uzumaki Karin.
An absurd idea appeared in Yokokawa Tsutomu's mind. Wu Chang fell in love with Uzumaki Rei at first sight and couldn't bear to see the other person die, so he betrayed her.
No matter what the reason, he felt that he had made a mistake, why he chose such a successor.
"Impermanence, how can you betray the leader! Your current strength and status are all due to the training of the leader." The grass ninja next to him couldn't help but cursed.
If the chakra hadn't been exhausted, even if he couldn't defeat him, he would still have to fight with a perfidious person like Wu Chang.
More grass ninjas didn't even have the energy to curse, and could only stare at Mu Yue with angry eyes.
With so many grass ninjas present, Tsutomu Yokokawa gave Wu Chang the privilege of not having to input chakra, but Wu Chang betrayed him like this.
Mu Yue looked indifferent. They were scolding Impermanence. Mu Yue had nothing to do with him.
Upon seeing this, Tsutomu Yokokawa silently input all his chakra into the Box of Bliss, making up for the last bit.
He doesn't have time to think too much now. As long as he can open the box of bliss, everything will be fine.
Whether it is the Dragon Fei that opposes him or the impermanence that betrays him, he will have many choices to deal with it at that time.
Boom!
After absorbing enough chakra to open it, extremely powerful chakra erupted on the Bliss Box, and a sky-high energy column broke through the ceiling of the underground base and shot straight into the clouds.
Kakashi and others, who were already near the base, quickened their pace. Ryuufei and other members of the Flower of Grass also rushed over when they saw this scene.
“Open the Box of Bliss.” Tsutomu Yokokawa stood in front of the Box of Bliss and stared at Mu Yue carefully, conveying his intention to the Box of Bliss with the touch of sacrifice.
Boom!
Along with the huge roar, the huge box of the Box of Bliss, which had been sealed in dust for who knows how many years, began to shake. Some parts of the human face mask fell off, and the mouth expanded up and down like a demon opening its **** mouth, with deep words in its mouth. To the darkness where no light can be seen.
Yokokawa Tsutomu couldn't see the scene inside the box through the open part. Although it was just a relatively large-looking box, he felt as if there was an endless dark world inside.
“Make me stronger, extremely strong!” Tsutomu Yokokawa said in a deep voice.
This was his plan long ago. He wanted to become stronger and stronger than the ninja master Soyousuke who defeated the demigod Hanzo. Then the Grass Ninja Village and the Country of Grass could develop stably under his protection. .
Yokogawa Tsutomu didn't know how to use the Box of Bliss, but after opening the box, he had a feeling that this was how the box was used, and that the box had consciousness.
As the one who opens the box, the Box of Bliss will fulfill his wish.
Hurrah!
Suddenly, a huge suction force came from inside the Bliss Box, and Tsutomu Yokokawa, who was closest to the Bliss Box, was directly sucked in.
Mu Yue held Uzumaki Karin a little further away, and then felt the mark of the Flying Thunder God. It was in the Box of Bliss, and she did not lose her senses like Uzumaki Naruto did that time.
PS: Today is 5k, I feel like it should be no problem to sprint back to 8k tomorrow.
