Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 207 Ghost Lantern Castle: Inaction

Ghost Lantern City.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki donned prison clothes and regained their dignity.

Because both of them were prisoners sent from Konoha, they were imprisoned together.

"Sasuke, are you alright? You look terrible."

Naruto Uzumaki looked around as he asked.

Uchiha Sasuke gave a soft snort and remained silent.

He has a rather arrogant personality, so things like his clothes being torn off today made him feel extremely insulted.

Naruto Uzumaki, being oblivious, didn't think much of it.

"Sasuke, take it easy."

He turned around and said with a smile.

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at him and said, "Begin the prison break."

After finding the Box of Bliss, he will seek revenge against Wuwei.

"action!"

Naruto Uzumaki was easily diverted from the topic and became excited.

He stretched out his hands, subconsciously trying to gather chakra, but suddenly froze.

"Sasuke, I don't think I can use my chakra."

Naruto gritted his teeth and tried his best, but it was still no use.

Sasuke Uchiha frowned, said nothing, and began extracting chakra, but it was to no avail.

"It must be the effect of that technique called Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Ninjutsu."

He said calmly, "No wonder they were so comfortable abandoning us."

"What should we do then?"

Naruto scratched his head. "If I can't escape from prison, I can't carry out the mission my teacher assigned me."

"No rush."

After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

"That's right! We can use eye techniques."

Naruto's face lit up with anticipation.

Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha raised his chin slightly, looking somewhat smug and proud.

Finally, there's one aspect in which he can surpass Naruto Uzumaki.

But the next second, he screamed in agony.

His white prison uniform was immediately burned, and the flames turned into chains that tightly bound his body.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto reached out his hand, but was suddenly burned and instinctively pulled it back.

"I...I'm fine."

"Uchiha Sasuke said through gritted teeth."

However, bloodstains had already appeared on the surface of the body.

Fortunately, the flames didn't last long.

Give me your shirt.

After the pain subsided, Sasuke Uchiha felt a bit cold.

The cold was secondary; the main problem was that I wasn't wearing anything.

This dealt another blow to his dignity.

"Oh, oh."

Naruto Uzumaki immediately took off his shirt.

"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison is a bit troublesome."

Uchiha Sasuke tied his clothes around his waist, forming an apron, and said, "I may need some time to break this."

Pride is often associated with stubbornness.

Especially in front of Naruto Uzumaki.

He absolutely refused to admit that he had no way to deal with this ninjutsu.

"Um."

Naruto Uzumaki nodded, his consciousness sinking into the sealed space.

In this situation, the only option is to use some special skills—or rather, ask my parents for help.

Over the past few years, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki have taught him the basics of the teachings.

Aside from the Flying Thunder God Technique and sealing techniques.

Because Naruto Uzumaki couldn't learn it.

If he had that talent, he wouldn't have stubbornly stuck to the Rasengan in the original work.

In order to cultivate Naruto Uzumaki's independent fighting spirit, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki have now adopted a hands-off approach.

I will never act unless it is a matter of life and death.

But when it comes to Natsume's mission, that's a different story.

Perhaps Sasuke Uchiha has a way, but it seems he won't be able to get out anytime soon.

"I've also heard of the ninjutsu Fire Release: Heavenly Prison."

Minato Namikaze stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's a secret technique called the Imprisonment Technique."

"What kind of binding technique is that? It's just Fire Release combined with a sealing scroll."

Kushina patted Naruto on the shoulder and said, "At most three days, Mom will help you break it."

"Why make it so complicated?"

Kurama, who was not far away, raised his head and said disdainfully, "As long as you have enough chakra, there is no ninjutsu that you can't break through."

"But you're locked up here."

Kushina Uzumaki glanced at it and said with a smile.

"..."

Nine-Tails blushed and said in its fox-like language, "This was an accident, an accident, you understand?"

Naruto suddenly realized that its current expression was very similar to Sasuke's just now.

"Alright, Naruto, you don't need to pay attention to it. Go outside and wait for a while."

Kushina Uzumaki waved her hand and said, "It won't interfere with Natsume's mission."

"Um."

Naruto Uzumaki opened his eyes again and saw Sasuke Uchiha with a gloomy expression.

Meanwhile, the shirt he lent him was also torn to shreds.

Ah this?

What should we do now?

Two people wearing the same pair of pants?

At this moment, the atmosphere in the city lord's mansion was also exceptionally heavy.

As Wuwei looked at the intelligence report from Kusagakure, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

The Monkey, Sheep, Horse, and Ox died.

He alone could no longer open the Box of Bliss.

Unable to open the Box of Bliss means he cannot resurrect his son, Immaculate.

He had worked so hard to build up his business in Ghost Lantern Castle for so many years, and it all vanished overnight.

Wuwei felt resentful.

"Who is it?"

He was suddenly startled and turned to look at the windowsill.

A young man wearing a mask.

"Non-action"

Natsume greeted them, "Nice to meet you."

Wuwei narrowed his eyes, and the white gloves in his hands immediately turned red.

A dense mass of chakra condensed into a fiery sword, which suddenly pierced towards Natsume.

Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Fire Sword!

If it is hit, it will be burned to ashes.

Natsume arrived uninvited, and his manner was furtive.

Wuwei was in a bad mood, so he didn't bother with conversation and just started fighting.

"That move was pretty cool."

Natsume smiled and praised.

The flaming sword pierced his body, but caused no harm.

"What?!"

Wuwei's expression changed drastically; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

But he was experienced and quickly realized the problem.

Is it an illusion? When did this happen?

Wuwei formed a hand seal and shouted, "Release!"

Nothing has changed.

He frowned deeply, and a flaming sword reappeared in his hand, which he then threw out.

Scene recreation.

Natsume remains unharmed.

Not solved?

Wuwei's expression was one of horror.

What kind of illusion is this?

A layer of cold sweat quietly appeared on his forehead.

"Who are you?"

Wuwei stopped probing, took a deep breath, and asked, "What is your purpose in coming here?"

"The Box of Bliss".

Natsume said in a calm tone.

Knew it.

After a few seconds of silence, Wuwei said, "The Box of Bliss can no longer be opened. Even if you obtain it, it will be of no use to you."

"I killed the Monkey, the Sheep, the Horse, and the Ox."

Natsume suddenly spoke up.

"...?"

Wuwei stared intently at him and demanded, "Since you knew you needed them to open the Box of Bliss, why did you kill them?"

"I think the reason is something the Lord of Wuwei City can probably guess."

Natsume said in a completely calm tone.

"Can you cast the opening spell?"

Wuwei was stunned for a moment, and a look of joy appeared on his face without his noticing, but it disappeared just as quickly.

By cooperating with the four people—the Monkey, the Sheep, the Horse, and the Ox—there is at least hope of making a wish.

If it were this mysterious and extremely powerful young man, he wouldn't be able to control his own destiny.

How could he possibly revive his own son, Wugou?

For a moment, he was lost in confusion.

Cooperation cannot save Wugou.

If you don't cooperate, you'll suffer the consequences yourself.

"The Box of Bliss can be opened multiple times. If you do something for me, you will get one chance."

Natsume said casually.

He did not lie to Wuwei.

Opening the Box of Bliss requires absorbing a massive amount of chakra.

If there are enough, they can be turned on repeatedly.

But after seeing the result of the first attempt, Wuwei will probably give up.

He holds onto hope now simply because he doesn't know the true nature of the Box of Bliss.

Wuwei's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. He couldn't believe Natsume, but he couldn't refuse the suggestion either.

Unless he can defeat them, or find four more ninjas skilled in sealing techniques.

Either one is extremely difficult.

"What do you want me to do?"

Wuwei's question undoubtedly signifies his agreement to cooperate.

"It's nothing serious."

Natsume's lips curled slightly as he said, "Help me torture the two new prisoners who came in today, named Musashi and Kojiro, especially Kojiro."

He doesn't have a perverse sense of humor.

One reason was to train his two students.

Secondly, it helps Sasuke Uchiha awaken his Sharingan, giving him some early stimulation so he won't be unable to withstand the effects when absorbing the Paradise Box.

Wuwei nodded, his gaze shifting slightly.

He was already pondering what the relationship was between these two people and the mysterious masked man in front of him.

Natsume glanced at him, completely unconcerned about what he thought.

If you're too weak, thinking about it is pointless.

He went through all that trouble just to gain more Fate Points.

"There's one more thing."

Natsume remained expressionless and said calmly, "Ryuzetsu is currently in Hozuki Castle. Capture her and hand her over to me."

Dragon Tongue?

Wuwei suddenly remembered that it was his son Wugou's friend.

But it's not a big deal.

"I will find her."

Wuwei suppressed his emotions and returned to a blank expression.

For the sake of their son, everyone else could be sacrificed.

[Because of your actions, the fates of Wuwei, Ryuzetsu, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha have changed. You have gained a total of 160 Fate Points.]

Natsume nodded in satisfaction.

"I'll come find you again next time."

The sound was still echoing, but the person had vanished.

Wuwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, he finally noticed the traces of the illusion.

He formed a hand seal and broke the illusion.

"Lord City Lord?"

"You're awake! You're finally awake!"

"Lord of the city, why did you suddenly fall into a dazed state after using two ninjutsu techniques?"

"Yes, no matter how I call you, you don't respond."

"We thought you were under a genjutsu, but even channeling chakra didn't work."

Upon hearing this, Wuwei felt a chill run down his spine.

What exactly is the mystery man's illusion technique?

Why didn't they notice?

There are several ways to break an illusion.

The simplest way is to ask your teammates for help.

However, this method failed when applied to himself.

Wuwei said in an icy tone, "You may all step back."

After they left, he remained silent for a moment, then walked toward his cell.

Soon, the sounds of fists and feet clashing rang out.

Wuwei did not use fire jutsu, but instead used taijutsu to fight the two people.

But they still dominated them.

After losing their ninjutsu and chakra, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki's strength was greatly reduced.

"Utterly worthless trash."

Wuwei pointed at Uchiha Sasuke and said, "Especially you."

He was carrying out Natsume's orders.

"Bastard! I'll kill you!"

Uchiha Sasuke immediately lost his composure.

Three thousand characters.
