Chapter 469: End of Blood Prison Arc

Chapter 469: End of Blood Prison Arc

Mui drips his blood on the seal and activates it. Flames rise from the seal and engulf Mui.

"Celestial Flame Prison Seal,"

The Fuinjutsu formation rapidly drains everyone's chakra. Mui's body quickly turns pale as he substitutes his life force for chakra. The scarlet flames form a giant pillar with Mui in the center.

"I understand now!" Ayaka murmurs as everyone is shocked by Mui's actions.

"No wonder the Jinrui node is in the center. This is a sacrificial formation. This sealing formation needs the sacrifice of the life force to activate."

"Uncle MUI!"

Tears flow from Ryzetsu's eyes as she stretches her arm towards Mui's figure.

"Ryu just like you, I can feel Muku's pain, his agony, his loneliness. I don't want to see him suffer anymore. I don't want to see him become a tool for this evil box."

Mui smiles at her, and his figure vanishes in flames. The scarlet flames turn sentient and wrap around Satori, forming multiple searing chains of flames.

The fuinjutsu formation lights up and multiple sealing runes float in the air.

"Fire Release: Great Heavenly Fire Prison Seal,"

The flame morphs into a giant, fiery figure. The fiery figure slams its palm on Satori's chest, binding Satori's body with the signature seal of Mui's clan.

"NOOO YOU CAN'T SEAL ME IN THAT BOX!"

Satori roars as the chains drag a figure out of Satori's body. A pale Muku falls to the ground. Satori's figure turns into a giant demonic face of negative chakra. It attempts to bore into Muku's body, but the scarlet flames keep it at bay.

"F-Father!"

Muku slowly opens his eyes and stares at the giant, fiery figure.

"Muku!"

The fiery figure gently grazes Muku's face.

"I am sorry, Father!" Tears flow from Muku's eyes as his hand passes through the flames.

"I was not a good son!"

"No I I wasn't a good father!" Mui's pained voice rings in everyone's years.

"Thanks for everything, Father!"

Muku's body glows with a fiery hue and dissipates into countless flame petals.

"RYU I am sorry I wasn't able to fulfill my promise to spend my entire life with you." Muku's melancholic voice drifts into Ryzetsu's ear as a fiery feather flies towards her.

"Muku!"

Ryzetsu stretches her hand and grabs the fiery feather in her palm. She closes her palm and places the fiery feather close to her heart. Tears flow from her eyes as Muku's smile radiates in her memory.

The flame petals and the fiery figure of Mui wrap around the will of Satori separated from Muku's body. A blazing inferno rises in the sky and the flames engulf the box of Ultimate bliss.

The demonic face on the box opens its mouth and drags Satori's will back into the box.

Weng

The demonic mouth shuts close, and the glow in its eyes dims down. The box power down and silently stays in the middle of the prison ground.

The Konoha 12 and the other shinobis pay a silent tribute to Mui and Muku's souls.

"MUUKUUUU!"

Ryzetsu falls to her knees and burst out in tears. Her wails echo throughout the entire Hozuki castle.

Akura, Hinata, and Ino stand beside her to console her, but they are at a loss for words. In the end, they allow her to release her grief through wailing.

"It's gone! The dam seal sealing our chakra is gone!"

Some of the prisoners burst out in laughter as they notice the lack of Celestial fire prison seal on their bodies.

"We are finally free!"

They swiftly dash towards the gates of the Hozuki castle to escape.

"Let's capture them!"

Shikamaru signals to the rest of the members of Konoha 12, who nod at him and quickly subdues the prisoner.

Half an hour later,

The Konoha 12 members lock every prisoner back into their cell.

"Let's wait for the officials from the Kusagakure to rectify the prison situation." Shikamaru, who is the leader of the operation, shakes his head.

"What about this box?" Sasuke asks him.

"No, there is some truth to it." Kushina shakes her head.

"After listening to Satori's tale, I am pretty sure it's a powerful malevolent spiritual creature from another dimension. The Uzumaki clan members have sealed plenty of such creatures albeit not as powerful as Satori, into other dimensions. Our sealing ritual banished these evil spirits to some desolate dimension. So, the descent of calamity by opening this is certainly true. Who knows if we reopen this box, a hoard of evil entities from another world might invade our world?" Kushina explains to them.

"Then, Lady Kushina, what should we do with this box?" Shikamaru asks her.

"Hmm since we can't store it, we should carry it to Konoha, and I place multiple restrictions around this box and carefully seal it someplace secure," Kushina suggests.

"Then I will"

Before Naruto could complete his sentence, Kushina shakes her head.

"Any spacetime jutsu is ineffective against it. We have to carry it normally."

"That's unfortunate!" The Konoha 12 members shake their heads in disappointment.

While everyone is musing about what to do with the box, a strange phenomenon occurs in front of Ayaka.

WHAMM

Suddenly, a wooden box appears in front of Ayaka.

"AH!"

Ayaka shrieks in surprise, drawing everyone's attention.

"What's the matter, Ayaka?" Tsunade and Kushina turn their attention to her.

The wooden box in front of Ayaka emits a blue light and hums with a strange frequency.

Rumble Rumble

The Box of Ultimate Bliss responds to that strange hum and vibrates. A crimson glow envelops the box, and it floats in mid-air. The box of ultimate bliss shrinks to the same size as the wooden box and the demon faces on the box shift slightly to form an eye on top of the box.

A bright glow encompasses both boxes as both boxes fly toward each other.

BOOM

Both boxes collide with each other, releasing a powerful shockwave that pushes everyone back.

RUMBLE RUMBLE

Tremors run across the ground as an earthquake hits the area. Soon, both boxes disappear from everyone's view.

After a few seconds, the group stabilizes its footing.

"What was that?" Ino asks in trepidation.

"Those strange boxes came into contact with each other and it led to an earthquake!" Even Choji is surprised by his own words.

"Ayaka, what was that?" Tsunade asks her for an explanation.

Some subtle emotions flicker across Ayaka's face for a few seconds before her expression turns normal.

"It was something left behind by Nii-san to contain that box. We don't have to worry about it anymore." Ayaka stretches out her palm and summons a palm-sized Box of Ultimate Bliss.

"Unfortunately, only I can carry it like this since this box is a kind of contracted to me." Ayaka shakes her head.

"Very well!"

Despite their doubts Tsunade and Kushina nod at her statement.

"Let's return to the village!"

Tsunade turns towards Guy and Maroi.

"I am sure both of you are aware of your mission."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama Hokage-sama!" Both nod at her.

Fwoosh

Tsunade and Kushina disappear in a flash of light.

"Alright, everyone! This marks the end of our mission." Shikamaru declares.

"We will return to the village to prepare for war."

"Let's go! I can't wait to pummel those Akatsuki members in the war." Naruto bumps his fist.

"Umm sorry Naruto, but we have another mission for you." Guy interrupts him.
