Chapter 168 Controlling the Grass Country, Making a Wish at the Box of Bliss

Chapter 168 Controlling the Grass Country, Making a Wish from the Box of Bliss (Third and Fourth Updates)

July 1st.

Xia Mu stood on the boat and activated his telescopic vision.

The Ghost Lantern Castle came into view in the distance.

Ghost Lantern Castle is an isolated island, surrounded by the sea.

But it is indeed located within the Land of Grass.

From this perspective, the climate and terrain of the ninja world are quite amazing.

The Land of Grass is bathed in sunshine, so there is a vast grassland within its borders.

Besides grasslands, it also has an inland sea.

The neighboring Rain Country, however, is perpetually shrouded in darkness, with rain falling every single day.

When Xia Mu thought of the grasslands, he thought of animal husbandry.

He felt that the Land of Grass could also be brought under the control of the Akatsuki organization.

Anyway, he didn't have a good impression of Kusagakure.

In the original work, Kusagakure Village acted inhumanely, using Karin and her daughter as mobile blood banks, ultimately leading to their tragic end.

If it weren't for Orochimaru, Karin would probably have died from having her blood drained, just like her mother.

As for who controls the Land of Grass and the Hidden Grass Village, he felt that inaction was the best option.

Wuwei is quite capable.

In his early years, he was obsessed with the Box of Bliss, hoping to open it and let Kusagakure rule the ninja world.

It wasn't until his son, Wu Gou, died from the Box of Bliss that he suddenly realized his mistake and became determined to open the Box of Bliss to resurrect Wu Gou.

Unfortunately, the wishing mechanism of the Chest of Bliss is distorted.

Immaculate was resurrected, but in reality, it was a manifestation of enlightenment.

In the end, Wuwei sacrificed his life to help Naruto and the others defeat Go.

It's worth mentioning that Wu Gou also has a childhood sweetheart named Long She.

She has mastered a forbidden technique called the Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique, which is a one-for-one resurrection technique.

But it's too early now; Wugou and Longshe haven't been born yet.

Xia Mu and the others quickly reached the shore.

Yahiko and his three companions had stayed in Hozuki Castle for a long time and had figured out the situation.

They chose a location that was the weakest point in the defenses of Hozuki Castle, so they easily infiltrated it.

In reality, the defenses of Hozuki Castle were not very strong.

This is related to the Fire Release: Heavenly Prison technique mastered by Wuwei.

It is a combination of fire-style techniques and sealing techniques.

Once the target, or rather the prisoner, is afflicted with Fire Release: Heavenly Prison, they will be unable to use ninjutsu.

If they attempt to escape, the cursed seal left by Fire Release: Heavenly Prison will transform into chains of flame and burst into flames.

In addition, it will automatically burn if it is too far away from the user.

This resulted in the prisoners held in Ghost Lantern Castle not daring to escape.

Hozuki Castle is also a public prison for all the ninja villages, so there aren't many ninjas who attempt to break out of it.

Moreover, even if they succeed in breaking into the prison, they won't be able to take the prisoners with them.

Unless the Fire Release: Heavenly Prison is dispelled.

After arriving on the island, Natsuki and the others headed towards Hozuki Castle.

But instead of going through the main gate, they went to the back of the Ghost Lantern Castle.

Its back is a cliff, a very high cliff, with the sea below.

While ninjas possess exceptional physical strength, jumping off a Fire Release: Heavenly Prison would likely result in certain death if they were unable to use ninjutsu due to the restriction imposed on them.

Xia Mu glanced around and then raised his hand.

Hidden barrier!

Chakra surged forth, transforming into an invisible barrier.

Soon, this area was covered by the barrier.

From the outside, Xia Mu and the others would not be visible; they had been hidden by the barrier.

"I'll lure Wuwei over here. You guys hold him off while I go find the Box of Bliss."

Xia Mu spoke up.

Fighting within this barrier minimizes the disturbance.

Xiao Nan and the others wouldn't have been surrounded by prison guards.

"Teacher Natsuki, please feel free to leave things to us!"

Yahiko said confidently.

All four of them possess the strength of a top-tier Jonin, and their abilities are unique; Jonin are easily in trouble when facing them.

After all, ninja warfare is essentially intelligence warfare.

"Watch out for his fire-style techniques."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

He still trusted Yahiko and the others.

Wuwei's current strength has not yet reached its peak.

Furthermore, it would be illogical if a combination like Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, and the Ice Maiden couldn't defeat them.

After Natsuki left the barrier, he entered Hozuki Castle.

Following the map given to him by Yahiko and the others, he quickly found Wuwei's office.

Xia Mu reached out and flicked out a burst of chakra, which struck his window.

"Who?"

Wuwei immediately got up and chased after him.

Xia Mu left him with her back turned before running away.

Wuwei chased after him without hesitation.

When he reached the back of the Ghost Lantern Castle, he suddenly stopped.

Because Xia Mu has disappeared without a trace.

Just then, a chill swept over him.

Wherever the cold air passes, the ground freezes over.

Wuwei immediately retreated.

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

Konan, now transformed into a demon, appeared behind him.

Storm kick!

She kicked out.

The terrifying force transformed into a vacuum wave, like a sharp blade slicing towards his body.

Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Fire Sword!

Wuwei sensed something was wrong, but as a Jonin, his reaction speed was very fast.

With a flick of his right wrist, he transformed his Fire Release chakra into a sword, which collided with the vacuum wave in the opposite direction.

The air currents twisted and sparks flew everywhere.

After the sword exploded, it turned into a sea of fire that surrounded Konan.

Moonwalk!

Xiao Nan narrowly escaped the sea of fire and reached mid-air.

Wuwei, on the other hand, used the Instantaneous Body Technique without even looking at the outcome.

He immediately dodged the chill created by Yahiko.

As soon as Wuwei landed, a water dragon descended from the sky.

He looked up and saw Nagato.

Wuwei quickly formed a hand seal.

He opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of flame.

Before he even got close to the water dragon, an ice wall appeared in front of him.

The ice wall blocked the flames, and the water dragon changed direction, avoiding the ice wall and crashing into Wuwei.

"Two ice-style ninjas?"

Wuwei noticed the Ice Maiden and was immediately startled.

Kusagakure Style: Hair-Breaking Palm!

But when faced with the flying water dragon, Wuwei chose to strike out with a palm.

Chakra covered his palm and then struck the water dragon's head.

The water dragon emitted a mournful sound, and its head immediately shattered into pieces.

Nagato clearly hadn't expected Wuwei's taijutsu to be so strong, and subconsciously showed a surprised expression.

However, Yahiko had already taken this opportunity to create a large amount of blood using chakra.

Blood Demon Art: Winter Ice Pillars!

Sharp icicles fell from mid-air, enveloping Wuwei.

At the same time, Xiao Nan took out the magic weather wand.

Thundercloud Staff!

Numerous black orbs emerged from the top of the Magic Weather Stick.

They were joined together, making the Magic Weather Wand even longer, like a whip.

Xiao Nan raised her magic weather wand.

A long whip crackling with lightning lashed out at Wuwei.

Wuwei felt increasingly strange.

Where did these four geniuses come from? And why did they attack him?

He simply didn't have time to think about it.

He was overwhelmed by the attack from four people.

Xia Mu had already arrived at Wuwei's residence.

He stepped forward and stepped on one of the floorboards.

The floor suddenly split open, revealing a downward passage.

Xia Mu walked down.

At the end of the passage was a basement.

The Chest of Ecstasy was placed right in the center of the basement.

It is a cube with a human face on each of its four sides, representing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

This is why Natsuki said that Satoru was a Yin Release monster.

Emotions are spiritual power, which is also known as Yin Dun (a form of escaping negative influences).

The Yin Escape technique can create form without being visible, which fits the wish-granting mechanism of the Box of Bliss.

Xia Mu reached out and placed his hand on the Box of Bliss.

A chilling aura swept over us.

The Enferea template's innate abilities immediately came into play.

Xia Mu felt that he could open the Box of Bliss if he wanted to.

He thought about it and didn't turn it on immediately.

After all, this place isn't suitable.

Xia Mu took out a spirit storage scroll.

But it was soon discovered that the Box of Elysium could not be placed inside.

No wonder Wuwei kept the Box of Bliss in the basement instead of carrying it in a spirit storage scroll.

Thinking of this, Xia Mu used the Door-Door Fruit.

A portal appeared.

He exerted all his strength and pushed the Box of Bliss into the portal.

Then, he and the Box of Bliss arrived at the vast grasslands of the Grass Kingdom.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Mu left behind a shadow clone and returned to Ghost Lantern Castle.

Although he believed that Yahiko and the other three could defeat Muwei, he was still worried that they might get hurt.

Moreover, Wuwei cannot be killed by them, otherwise he will have to find another person in charge.

Before Natsuki even got close, he could feel a violent fluctuation of chakra.

He looked at the five people fighting.

Because he has only been gone a short time, the outcome is still undecided.

However, judging from the current situation, Wuwei has already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Lightning flashed.

Under Xiao Nan's control, a thundercloud in the sky immediately unleashed a dazzling bolt of lightning.

The speed of non-action immediately soared.

But the next second, Nagato stood in front of him.

Breath of Water - Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!

Nagato gripped the Kusanagi sword and swung it out.

A massive amount of chakra transformed into a torrent of water and surged towards Wuwei.

Body Flicker Technique!

Wuwei dodged to the left.

Xiao Nan predicted his whereabouts, and another bolt of lightning struck from the thundercloud.

With no way to avoid it, he immediately formed a hand seal.

Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Fire Sword!

The air was thick with the heat of the air.

A flame transformed into the shape of a sword and crashed into the lightning.

With a loud bang!

Flames exploded.

Wuwei waved his hand, and the flames flew towards Nagato, who was attacking him.

Seeing this, the Ice Maiden formed hand seals and used Ice Release: Ice Rock Hall.

Although she has two Blood Demon Arts, neither can be used in combat, so she can only use Ice Release.

In fact, his strength was far inferior to that of Yahiko and the others.

An ice wall rose up, blocking the flames.

Nagato stepped onto the ice wall and leaped into the air.

Breathing of Water, Form of Gathering, Flow of Life!

The Kusanagi sword spun around and slashed at Wuwei.

But what's even more astonishing is his immense chakra.

Streams of water-style chakra surrounded him, quickly weaving together in the air to form a giant water dragon.

Wuwei was startled by what he saw.

Is Nagato's chakra really that amazing?

It feels like there are even more than him, a Jonin.

The terrifying offensive put Wuwei under unprecedented pressure.

Fire Release: Great Fire Prison!

Wuwei raised his hand.

All the chakra in his body turned into flames.

Under his control, the flames directly bound the water dragon.

In the original work, he used Fire Release: Great Fire Prison to bind the Tailed Beast-level Satoru.

Although the water dragon was enormous, it was still no match for Wu.

Upon seeing this, Nagato was surprised and immediately changed his attack method.

Storm kick!

He kicked Wuwei.

The vacuum wave transformed into a slash, attempting to split Wuwei in two.

Kusagakure Style: Hair-Breaking Palm!

In his haste, Wuwei struck out with his palm.

The immense force forced him to retreat.

At the same time, a bloodstain appeared on his palm.

Ice Release Secret Technique: Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal!

Ice mirrors appeared all around him.

The Ice Maiden appeared in an ice mirror, and with a flick of her hands...

A large number of ice-handled swords flew towards Wuwei.

Wuwei quickly steadied himself and responded by throwing out a dense barrage of shuriken.

But the Ice Maiden immediately disappeared into the ice mirror.

And she wasn't fighting alone.

Yahiko's ice-handled shuriken also arrived behind Wuwei.

Nagato raised his hand and stabbed at him.

Wuwei was unable to dodge in time.

The ice-cold shuriken struck his back.

Nagato's finger gun pierced his shoulder.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Nan used the magic weather wand to create several cloud spheres.

When the cloud ball touched Wuwei, it rapidly expanded and entangled him.

Xia Mu appeared before him with a shaved head.

Although Wuwei was injured, he still had some strength left.

Just as she was about to resist, she met Xia Mu's eyes.

Stylish eyes!

He immediately fell into a daze.

Xia Mu then extended his hand.

A drop of blood flew towards Wuwei.

"Let him go."

Xia Mu took a step back and said.

Xiao Nan nodded and released the cloud ball.

Wuwei landed on the ground and was quickly transformed into a ghost.

Unlike Hiruko and Wolf Fang Avalanche, he was chosen as one of the Twelve Demon Moons.

Although it was only a waning crescent moon.

Natsuki chose him as one of the Twelve Demon Moons because he needed to control Kusagakure and the Land of Grass.

Wuwei is a powerful ninja from Kusagakure, making it easier for him to control the village.

Moreover, with his talent and strength, he is qualified to become one of the Twelve Demon Moons.

Although it was only a waning crescent moon.

He was made the crescent moon because he was not willingly loyal to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu's interface quickly appeared in front of him.

[Name: Wuwei]

[Race: Human, Oni.]

[Ability 1: Half-Demon Transformation, Not Yet Unlocked.]

[Effect: Half-human, half-ghost, increases attack, speed, and regeneration.]

[Unlock condition: Self-discovery.]

[Ability 2: Blood Demon Art - Illusionary Flames, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Incorporates illusion magic within the flames, which can disrupt the target.]

[Unlock condition: Self-discovery.]

[Note: You will also obtain the Blood Demon Art: Illusion Flame after unlocking it.]

Xia Mu thought about it carefully.

This Blood Demon Art: Illusion Flame comes from Kama, one of the Twelve Demon Moons in Demon Slayer, and is biased towards interference from fire and illusion.

It sounds impressive, but it's actually just average.

In terms of effect, it also refers to interference.

How so?

It's somewhat compatible with inaction.

He is very skilled in fire-style techniques.

In a sense, he also overcame the demon's weakness.

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow.

He discovered that his progress on the first gate of the Eight Gates technique in the Kakashi Hatake template had increased by a third.

Its unlock condition is to defeat three taijutsu jonin.

So, does that mean Wuwei is also a taijutsu jonin?

Xia Mu thought about it and realized that he had indeed used physical techniques just now.

Kusagakure-ryu: Hair-Breaking Palm is a unique taijutsu technique of Kusagakure Village.

Xia Mu thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had just used his eye of art to control Wuwei at the last moment.

The system then determined that he had defeated Wuwei.

However, the first gate of the Eight Gates Formation was not very useful to him.

He wasn't in a hurry.

Increasing the progress by one-third is a pleasant surprise.

Wuwei regained consciousness.

He quickly realized his situation and stood there frozen for a moment.

For him, this was somewhat of an undeserved misfortune.

After all, he stayed in Ghost Lantern Castle perfectly well and never went out.

As a result, Xia Mu and the others suddenly appeared.

Not only did they beat him up, they also turned him into a ghost.

Wuwei couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.

Although he didn't want to be controlled by Xia Mu, he was now powerless to resist.

That's how ruthless the blood curse is.

"Welcome to the Rain Country Dawn Organization."

Xia Mu looked at him and spoke.

, and remain silent in the face of inaction.

You should actually thank me.

Xia Mu chuckled and said.

"You controlled me, and you expect me to thank you?"

Wuwei laughed in anger.

"What you're after is opening the box of bliss."

Xia Mu said calmly, "But the Box of Bliss is not the all-powerful wish-granting machine you imagine."

"Your goal is the Box of Elysium?"

Wuwei realized what was happening.

"It's not just the Box of Bliss."

Xia Mu shook his head and said, "I need you to become the leader of Kusagakure and control the Land of Grass."

Wuwei couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

He hadn't expected the Akatsuki organization to have such grand ambitions, wanting to control the Land of Grass and Kusagakure.

"Although I have a voice in Kusagakure, it is almost impossible for me to become the leader."

Wuwei said very calmly.

"You certainly can't do it alone."

Natsuki pointed to Yahiko and the other three and said, "The Akatsuki will help you."

"Does the Akatsuki organization really have that much power?"

A look of doubt appeared on Wuwei's face.

Although he was stationed in Ghost Lantern Castle, he always kept an eye on the outside world.

He had never heard of the Akatsuki organization.

"Don't underestimate the Akatsuki organization!"

Yahiko immediately retorted, displeased, "Don't forget we just defeated you!"

Wuwei couldn't help but twitch his lips.

But Yahiko does have a point.

Judging from the battle just now, Yahiko and his three companions are incredibly strong and talented.

Needless to say, Xia Mu was even more so.

A single blood curse can devour the Hidden Grass Village.

Xia Mu didn't say anything more after hearing this.

It was no easy task for Yahiko and his companions to help Muwei take control of Kusagakure.

But this suited Xia Mu's tastes.

Because completing this task can have a very good training effect.

As I said before, it's difficult to grow by simply focusing on cultivation.

Furthermore, the ninjas who join the Akatsuki organization also need to train.

"Alright, let's open the Chest of Bliss now."

Xia Mu reached out and opened a spatial portal.

"Space-time ninjutsu?"

Wuwei's eyes widened in surprise, but then he remembered something and said, "You and I alone cannot open the Box of Bliss."

"You're wrong. I don't need you. I can open it by myself."

Xia Mu stepped into the portal.

"That's impossible!"

Wuwei subconsciously denied it.

"Hmph, you haven't seen what Teacher Xia Mu is capable of."

Yahiko followed closely behind and entered the portal.

"Natsuki?"

Wuwei frowned slightly, feeling that the name sounded familiar.

Upon stepping out of the portal and seeing the Box of Bliss, he was suddenly jolted, remembering something.

Natsuki is a super genius of Konoha Village and a student of Orochimaru.

How could he have gone to the Land of Rain and founded an organization called Akatsuki? And why did he intend to control the Land of Grass and Kusagakure?

Is Konoha trying to start the Third Shinobi World War?

Xia Mu ignored what Wuwei was thinking and raised his hand to place it on the Box of Bliss.

The Black Grail was activated, and a large amount of chakra was poured into it.

The Box of Bliss suddenly trembled.

A gloomy atmosphere permeated the air.

At the same time, a voice appeared in everyone's minds.

"Born with enlightenment, act with enlightenment, end with enlightenment. Make your wish."

Wuwei remained frozen in place.

Did Natsuki actually open the Box of Elysium all by himself?

"Non-action"

Xia Mu thought for a moment and said, "You make a wish."

It's safer to let someone else make this kind of distorted wish.
