The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

The group of people flashed away again.

It was only after traveling for more than twenty minutes.

Menma's vast sensory power detected a familiar chakra.

"Oh?"

A slight raise of the eyebrows.

"boom!"

A figure sliding down.

In the designated location.

A burly, middle-aged man with a cold expression came into view of Menma and the others.

"Hehe, it's actually Wuwei-san who came in person. I thought Wuwei-san would choose to hold back a trick."

With a smile, Mianma looked at the man in front of him and said softly.

This middle-aged man was none other than Muwei, the most important collaborator in Menma's plan this time, a Jonin from Kusagakure and the current person in charge of Hozuki Castle.

"Uzumaki Menma, stop with the nonsense. Was what you said before true? If not, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wuwei coldly stared at Mianma.

These are not polite words at all.

Especially the chilling aura that permeated the air.

"!?"

"You bastard!"

"You!"

In the back, Karin and the others' expressions changed, especially the few Taki ninja who looked at Wuwei with anger.

It seemed like they were about to take action.

Menma waved his hand, stopping the Takigakure ninja from further words or actions.

"Don't worry, Muwei-san. What I, Uzumaki Menma, said will definitely come true. It's just a mere Box of Bliss. I will definitely open it. However, I need to tell you beforehand that this is not some so-called wish-granting machine. You want to see your son, but I cannot make a 100% guarantee. At most, I have a 50% chance."

Mianma's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a slightly solemn tone.

Non-action.

As a key leader in the "City Faction" of Kusagakure, he enjoys considerable prestige among a significant number of Kusagakure ninja.

Many people even think that Wuwei is very suitable to become the next leader of Kusagakure.

Moreover, judging from the original plot, this seemingly cold man still has a very soft side inside.

This aspect is reflected in how he treats his son, Wugou!

The reason why Mianma chose to start with Wuwei (non-action) is because he recognized this point.

If his plan goes smoothly, then Kusagakure can be completely controlled by Menma. However, if any link in the chain goes wrong, Menma will have to resort to more radical and bloody methods.

That was a last resort!

'Nine-Ra, I'm betting everything on you this time!'

While Mianma was looking at Wuwei, he was also thinking to himself.

"Hmph, I've already said it. It's just the Box of Bliss, isn't it? Converting the energy inside is no problem for me, as long as that kid can hold his ground. However, I don't think a mere ordinary human can withstand the Box of Bliss's corruption! Even if it's just an ordinary toy of mine."

Within the body of the facial numbness.

This is exactly what Menma was deliberately expressing.

Nine-Tails snorted coldly, speaking in a disdainful tone.

"Well, then I'll have to trouble you, Kurama. As for whether it will succeed, that depends on that kid's fate."

It is completely impossible to hear Menma and Kurama communicating.

Upon hearing Menma's words...

His face grew increasingly tense.

"A 50% chance? That's enough!"

After staring intently at Menma for several seconds, those fierce-looking eyes slowly nodded and said softly.

"As long as you can fulfill the agreed terms, I will definitely do my best to assist you!"

"Then it's settled, Wuwei-san."

Mianma smiled gently and said.

Immediately afterwards.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Mianma and his group followed Wuwei, heading further north.

Chapter 267 The Box of Bliss

In the very northern part of the entire continent.

There is a protruding area surrounded by the sea on three sides. This is a rare "unclaimed territory" 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 Fields to the east. It was specially designated more than 20 years ago by the five great nations and is not under the jurisdiction of any one country.

The reason for this zone is to establish an 'international prison' to detain all kinds of vicious criminals, but in reality, it is a special area used by the five major powers to compromise with each other.

It's not that all 'international criminals' are detained here. Rather, it's those who have committed serious crimes but haven't involved major village secrets, and who are not suitable for being handled alone, that are detained here.

This is the infamous Ghost Lantern Castle!

Non-action.

The lord of Hozuki Castle was chosen by the five great nations after multiple negotiations and compromises. The vast majority of the prison guards came from Kusagakure, but a small number were recruited by Muwei from the ninja world, and a very small number were ninjas from the various nations.

Their existence is meant to create a delicate balance here, but that's about it. Strictly speaking, the so-called Hozuki Castle is a product of political compromise, and not a particularly important one at that. To put it precisely, Hozuki Castle is like a chicken rib to the five great nations.

Anyway, as long as there isn't a really big problem.

The five major powers are unlikely to pay much attention to this area.

Therefore, Wuwei is not only the nominal supreme ruler of this special prison city, but also its de facto supreme ruler.

I wouldn't say 100%, but at least 70-80% of the guards in this prison city would obey Yu Wuwei's orders.

"Is this Hozuki Castle? It's really quite large..."

Standing on the cliff outside Hozuki Castle, gazing at the giant stone city in the distance, this prison was comparable to some towns in terms of scale. Menma's vast perception could accurately detect the chakra fluctuations of up to four figures inside, which was quite exaggerated for a prison.

"Water Moon, Incense."

Menma turned to look at Suigetsu and Karin in the side, and the words she whispered were spoken when their eyes met.

"Yes, Lord Menma."

"Yeah, don't worry, Mianma!"

Both of them immediately nodded in understanding.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Then.

The two of them each led three or four Takigakure ninja and flew off in different directions, leaving Menma alone in the same spot, standing side by side with Muwei.

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

What does Mianma want?

Wuwei is perfectly clear.

But for Wuwei, there was only one obsession in his heart: to get his son out of that damned box of bliss alive. What did the rest matter to him?

Not to mention, this was originally what he and Menma had agreed upon.

He was willing to assist Menma as long as she could help him open the Box of Bliss, and if she couldn't, Wuwei would never let her get away with it.

"Let's go, Wuwei-sang. I think you must be eager to get started, right?"

Mianma looked at Wuwei's cold profile and said with a light laugh.

After glancing indifferently at Menma, Wuwei strode ahead towards the location of Hozuki Castle, with Menma following behind him at a leisurely pace.

"Lord Wuwei!"

"Lord City Lord!"

Upon seeing Wuwei return.

The guards at the city gate immediately bowed and saluted, each of them showing extreme respect. Wuwei had been in charge of this Hozuki Castle for more than ten years. Relying on his excellent personal skills, strong leadership style, and most importantly, the top-notch Jonin strength, he had long established a one-man rule in Hozuki Castle.

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

Wuwei remained indifferent, quickly passing through the city gate, a sight the guards had long been accustomed to.

Do you think they don't know what kind of personality their city lord has?

As for the facial pockmarks that follow Wuwei's side.

The guards, being quite tactful, didn't ask any questions.
