Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 267 Box of Bliss
In the northern part of the entire continent.

There is a protruding area surrounded by the sea on three sides. This is a rare "unowned area" in the entire ninja world. It is bordered by the Land of Earth to the west, the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire to the south, and the Land of Frost and the Land of Field to the east. It was an area specially demarcated by the consensus of the five major countries more than 20 years ago. It is not under the jurisdiction of any country.

The reason for the existence of such a zone is to build an "international prison" here to detain all kinds of vicious criminals, but in fact, this is an exclusive area for the five major countries to compromise with each other.

Not all "international criminals" are imprisoned here. Only those who have committed serious crimes but have not involved any major secrets of the village, or those who are not suitable for solitary treatment, will be imprisoned here.

This is the famous Ghost Lantern City!
Inaction.

He is the lord of Kizuna Castle chosen by the five major countries after many negotiations and compromises. Most of the prison guards here are from the Kusagakure Village, but there are also a few who were recruited by Wu Wei in the Ninja World, and there are also a very small number of ninjas from major countries.

The existence of these people is to form a delicate balance here, but that's it. Strictly speaking, the so-called Ghost Lantern City is the product of a political compromise, and it is not a particularly important existence. To describe it with a precise word, Ghost Lantern City is a kind of chicken ribs for the five major countries.

Anyway, as long as there are no really big problems.

The five major countries will not really pay too much attention to this area.

Therefore, Wuwei is not only the nominal but also the actual supreme commander of this special prison city.

I dare not say 100%, but at least 70 to 80 percent of the guards in this prison city will obey Yu Wuwei's orders.

"Is this Ghost Lantern City? It's really big..."

Standing on the cliff outside the Ghost Lantern City, overlooking the giant stone city in the distance, from the scale point of view, this prison is comparable to some towns. Menma's vast perception can accurately detect the four-digit chakra fluctuations inside. As a prison, this can be said to be very exaggerated.

"Suigetsu, Karin."

Menma turned his head to look at Suigetsu and Karin who were sitting to the side, and the softly whispered words came when their eyes met.

"Yes! Master Menma."

"Well, don't worry, Menma!"

Both of them immediately nodded in understanding.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Following from that.

The two of them each had three or four Taki ninjas, who flew off in different directions, leaving Menma alone in the same place, standing side by side with Wuwei.

Wuwei also turned a blind eye to the actions of Shuiyue and Xianglin.

What Menma wants.

Wuwei is very clear.

But for Wuwei, he only has one obsession in his heart, that is to let his son walk out of that damned paradise box alive. What does the rest have to do with him! ?
Not to mention, this was originally what he and Menma had agreed upon.

As long as Menma can help him open the Box of Paradise, he is willing to help Menma, but if not, Wuwei will never let Menma have an easy time.

"Let's go, Wuwei-sang, I think you can't wait any longer, right?"

Menma looked at Wuwei's cold profile and chuckled.

Wuwei glanced at Menma indifferently, then took a step forward and strode towards the location of Ghost Lantern City, while Menma followed Wuwei slowly.

"Lord Wuwei!"

"Lord City Lord!"

After seeing Wuwei coming back.

The guards at the city gate also bowed immediately, and everyone's face showed a look of extreme respect. Wuwei has been the leader of this Ghost Lantern City for more than ten years. Relying on his outstanding personal skills, strong leadership style, and most importantly, the top-notch strength of the top ninja, he has long established a situation of one-man rule in Ghost Lantern City.

The guards under his command would never dare to disobey any of Wuwei's orders.

Wuwei still had that indifferent look on his face as he quickly passed through the city gate. The guards were already accustomed to it.

Don’t they know what kind of personality their city lord has?
As for Menma who was following Wuwei.

The guards were tactful and none of them asked any questions.

In this ghost-lit city, Wuwei is the real 'king'!
The two people walked in leisurely. Along the way, Menma did not say much to Wuwei. Instead, he looked around this special prison city with great interest. It must be said that from a general perspective, this Ghost Lantern City was also heavily guarded. Not only was it surrounded by the sea on three sides, but there was a guard standing guard every other section on the high walls. The entire Ghost Lantern City was also wrapped in a huge barrier.

Unless one uses space ninjutsu, it would be impossible for anyone to sneak in quietly.

The only entrance that can be passed smoothly is the one that Menma just came in through, but there are not only more than a dozen guards on duty there, but through Menma's exploration, he can also accurately find out the special mechanisms and traps arranged around.

Unless one is the top jonin, or even above the quasi-kage level, it is impossible to break in, and even if one can do this.

This amount of time was enough for other defenders in the city, especially the city lord Wuwei, to react.

For this reason, this place is known as the place with the highest defense coefficient except for the five major ninja villages.

"If we compare it to the old Takigakure Village, there is really no comparison..."

Menma watched and shook his head secretly.

Not to mention the geographical advantages here.

In Menma's plan.

If everything goes well.

This Ghost Lantern City cannot be abandoned. It can serve as a perfect strategic fulcrum, but it has a little pressure to bear. Not to mention it is far away from Takigakure Village, there is also an awkward distance between it and Kusagakure Village.

The most important thing is that this place is closest to the Land of Earth and the Hidden Rock Village.

If Oonoki is interested.

We can send heavy troops to surround this place directly, or even eliminate it easily.

'Well, there are still many difficulties. That old man is not someone who can be fooled. He is really an old fox. . . '

Menma felt a little helpless as he shook his head in his heart.

I shouldn't expand my ambitions too much right now, I'd better take the next step first.

Menma was thinking silently.

Following Wuwei, they came straight to the innermost part of Ghost Lantern City, and arrived outside an iron gate with a special barrier.

Menma had already sensed a chakra fluctuation from inside that made him feel a little bit uneasy.

"untie!"

Before Wuwei made seals with both hands.

Opened this barrier.

"Squeak!"

After pushing open the iron door in front of him, a dim and deep stone staircase came into Menma's sight, and then a dark and cold breath suddenly hit him in the face.

There was a distinctly perceptible sense of danger.

Even if it's numbness.

At this moment, I couldn't control my heart and soul!
"The aura of the Box of Bliss!?"

"Let's go, it's right down there!"

Wuwei was obviously accustomed to this atmosphere, and he led the way at the front with an unchanged expression.

Menma followed without any hesitation. He was not worried at all that Wuwei might play tricks.

Not only because he didn't think Wuwei would break the contract here, but also because Menma had sufficient confidence in his own strength.

Two people walked down the stairs.

The pace seemed very slow, but in fact it was very fast. However, even so, it took the two of them more than ten minutes to reach the extremely wide space below.

There seemed to be a strange energy fluctuation flowing all around.

The heartstrings that are gradually being moved.

In that moment.

Menma felt that his state of mind became a little unstable. All kinds of emotions suddenly emerged in his heart. Menma was startled for a moment, but he immediately adjusted himself and calmed down his mood.

"A box of bliss filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness? There really is something to it."

Menma took a deep breath, raised his eyelids, looked at the giant iron box not far away, and couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

"This is the Box of Bliss that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Kusagakure Village. Uzumaki Menma, it's time for you to fulfill your promise!"

Wuwei stepped to a position closer to the Box of Bliss, turned around and looked at Menma behind him, and spoke in a very low voice.

"Haha, no problem, Wuwei-san, but I also hope that you can remember what you promised me."

Menma smiled slightly, walked forward as usual, and slowly raised his right hand.

"Buzz!"

As he spoke, the Nine-Tails' chakra burst out in an instant!

"boom!"

As the extremely hot scarlet chakra raged in this space, I felt the violent and powerful aura conveyed by this chakra.

Wuwei was shocked at first, but his pupils also revealed a deep joy.

That’s it!
This is the kind of chakra we need!
Only then can you truly open the box of bliss!!

"Ah, don't worry, I will do what I say!"

Wuwei also took a deep breath, stared at Menma, nodded heavily and said.

"That's it!"

Menma smiled and nodded.

"boom!"

next second.

The Nine-Tails Chakra in Menma's body further increased, and the huge chakra hand that appeared pressed directly on the Box of Bliss.

The huge amount of Nine-Tails Chakra was directly transmitted into it.

"Buzz!"

At the moment of pouring into the box of bliss.

"Buzz!"

The Box of Bliss suddenly trembled.

A faint purple halo appeared!
This is an extraordinary energy fluctuation that can be clearly felt.

"!?"

Wuwei's expression, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, was also moved at this moment. Just this initial feeling made Wuwei feel that this time the Paradise Box could definitely be opened! !
"Wow, you are such a big eater. Since you can eat so much, I will satisfy you!"

Menma could clearly feel that the Box of Bliss in front of him was rapidly devouring the Nine-Tails Chakra released from his body.

Eyebrows were subconsciously raised slightly.

You have to know that even if only a few tens of seconds have passed.

But the chakra he transmitted was already beyond the reach of most ordinary Kage-level warriors!

But Menma could clearly sense that this Paradise Box was just an appetizer!
No wonder the Kusagakure Village has not been able to open the Box of Paradise for all these years, given the huge amount of chakra required!

In today's ninja world, only the tailed beasts can satisfy!
And it was only at the Box of Bliss that it began to vibrate.

When unusual energy fluctuations are emitted.

In just one minute.

"How is this going!?"

"Hmm!? The Paradise Box is vibrating!? Wuwei!?"

“Is it finally opened?!”

"Who is that young man!? How can he have such a huge amount of chakra!?"

In the deep staircase passage before.

Four figures wearing different masks flashed over at a high speed. These four people were the high-level staff of the 'City Faction' of the Grass Village. The moment they sensed that there was some movement in the Box of Paradise, they all rushed over quickly. Now when they saw the different posture of the Box of Paradise, each of them showed shock on their face, and a hint of surprise emerged in their hearts.

Because no matter how you look at it, this is a sign that the Box of Bliss is about to be opened! ?
Naturally, these four so-called elders of the Kusagakure Village would notice Menma who was transferring a large amount of chakra to the Box of Bliss.

This surging chakra fluctuation.

This is totally not a level that humans can possess! ?

'Is it coming again?'

The moment Wuwei saw the four people coming, a hint of fierceness flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

The slightly moving figure seemed to inadvertently stand between the Box of Bliss and the four elders.

"This is the distinguished guest I invited to help open the Box of Bliss. His name is Uzumaki Menma. I think the four elders should be familiar with his identity."

Wuwei still had that indifferent look on his face, and spoke in a calm tone.

"What!? Uzumaki Menma?"

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!?"

"A traitorous ninja from Konoha?"

"The son of the Fourth Hokage!?"

When the four heard Wuwei's words, they were subconsciously shocked, and they looked at Menma twice more.

Before, it was just a quick glance, and the four elders' attention was almost all on the Box of Paradise. Now they were really observing Menma carefully.

This glance also truly confirmed Menma's identity.

"This hair color, this face, and especially this chakra, it is indeed that Uzumaki Menma!"

"Haha, Wuwei, well done. With the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, opening the Paradise Box's chakra will be a piece of cake!"

The four of them were even more delighted, because if Menma's identity was true, it meant that the paradise box they had been dreaming of could finally be opened!!!
