The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

In this Ghost Lantern City, Wuwei is the true 'King'!

As the two strolled in, Menma didn't say much to Wuwei along the way. 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 heavily guarded. Not only was it surrounded by the sea on three sides, but there was also a guard standing on the high walls at every interval. The entire Ghost Lantern City was also enveloped in a huge barrier.

Unless someone uses space-time ninjutsu, it's impossible for anyone to sneak in silently.

The only passage that can be passed smoothly is the entrance that Menma just came through, but there are more than a dozen guards there. Under Menma's investigation, he can also accurately find out the special mechanisms and traps set up around the area.

Unless one is among the top Jonin, or even at the level of a Kage, it is impossible to break through. And even if it were possible, it would be impossible.

This short period of time was enough for the other guards in the city, especially the city lord Wuwei, to react.

For this reason, this place is known as having the highest defense coefficient outside of the five great ninja villages.

'If we were to compare it to the old Takigakure, it would truly be incomparable...'

Mianma watched, shaking his head inwardly as he spoke.

Not to mention its geographical advantages.

In Menma's plan.

If all goes well.

This Castle of the Haunted Lanterns cannot be abandoned either, as it can serve as a perfect strategic foothold. However, it does face some pressure, not only because it is far from Takigakure, but also because it is awkwardly far from Kusagakure.

Most importantly, this place is the closest to the Land of Earth and Iwagakure.

If Ohnoki is interested.

They could easily send a large force to surround it, or even easily eliminate it.

'Yeah, there are still a lot of difficulties. That old man is not someone you can fool at all; he's a real old fox...'

Mianma shook his head slightly inwardly, feeling a little helpless.

I shouldn't let my ambitions expand indefinitely; I should focus on taking the next step well first.

Mianma was silently pondering.

Following Wuwei, they went straight to the innermost part of the Ghost Lantern Castle, and arrived at an iron gate with a special barrier set up for it.

Menma immediately sensed a chakra fluctuation within him that made him feel a little uneasy.

"untie!"

He then formed a mudra with both hands, which was not in accordance with the principle of non-action.

This barrier has been opened.

"Squeak!"

After pushing open the iron gate in front of him, a dark and deep stone staircase came into view, and then a dark and cold aura immediately rushed towards him.

There was a palpable sense of danger emanating from it.

Even if the noodles are numb.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill!

'The scent of the Box of Elysium!?'

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

Wuwei was clearly already used to this atmosphere, and without changing his expression, he took the lead and walked at the very front.

Mianma followed without hesitation.

He wasn't worried at all about Wuwei playing tricks.

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

The two people descended the steps.

Their steps appeared very gentle, but in reality, they moved at a very fast pace. Even so, it took them more than ten minutes to reach the bottom, where the space was extremely spacious.

A strange energy fluctuation seemed to be flowing all around.

That heartstring that was gradually being rippled.

In that instant.

Menma felt her state of mind becoming a little unstable. A variety of emotions suddenly surged up in her heart. Menma was startled for a moment and immediately adjusted herself to calm down.

'A box of bliss filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness?! It actually does have some merit.'

Menma took a deep breath, raised his eyelids, and stared at the giant iron box not far away, secretly thinking to himself.

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

Wuwei strode to a position close to the Box of Bliss, turned around and looked at Menma behind him, speaking in a very low voice.

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

Menma smiled slightly and stepped forward, slowly raising his right hand.

"Buzz!"

As he spoke, he instantly unleashed the Nine-Tails' chakra!

"boom!"

As that intensely hot, scarlet chakra raged through this space, one could feel the violent and powerful aura emanating from it.

Wuwei was initially startled, but a deep joy also shone through his eyes.

That's exactly how it should be!

That's exactly the kind of chakra I need!

Only then can the Chest of Bliss truly be opened!!

"Ah, don't worry, I, Wuwei, always keep my word!"

Wuwei also took a deep breath, stared intently at Mianma, and nodded emphatically.

"That's fine!"

After Mianma smiled and nodded.

"boom!"

next second.

Menma's Nine-Tails chakra surged even higher, and the enormous chakra hand that materialized pressed directly onto the Box of Bliss.

The massive amount of Nine-Tails chakra was directly transferred in.

"Buzz!"

At the moment it was poured into the box of bliss.

"Buzz!"

The Box of Bliss suddenly trembled.

A faint purple halo was revealed!

This clearly demonstrates an extraordinary energy fluctuation.

"!?"

Even Wuwei's perpetually icy expression was moved at this moment. Just this initial feeling gave Wuwei a sense that the Box of Bliss would definitely be opened this time!

'Wow, you really have a big appetite! Since you can eat so much, I'll treat you to a good meal!'

Menma could clearly sense that the Box of Bliss in front of him was rapidly devouring the Nine-Tails chakra he was releasing.

His eyebrows were subconsciously raised slightly.

Keep in mind that only a few dozen seconds have passed.

However, the amount of chakra he transmitted was already beyond the reach of most ordinary Kage-level powerhouses!

But Menma could clearly tell that this box of bliss was only just beginning to be opened!

No wonder the Hidden Grass Village has been unable to open the Box of Bliss for so many years, given the amount of chakra required!

In the ninja world today, only the tailed beasts can truly satisfy this desire!

And it was only at the Box of Ecstasy that the tremors began.

When it emits unusual energy fluctuations.

In just one minute.

"What's going on!?"

"Hmm!? The Box of Bliss is vibrating!? Wuwei!?"

"Has it finally opened!?"

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

In that deep, secluded staircase passageway from before.

Four figures wearing different masks arrived at lightning speed. These four were high-ranking members of the "City Faction" of Kusagakure. The moment they sensed the unusual movement of the Box of Bliss, they rushed over. Now, seeing the Box of Bliss in its new form, they were all shocked, and a hint of surprise also appeared in their hearts.

Because this whole situation looks like a prelude to the opening of the Chest of Bliss!?

Naturally, these four so-called elders of Kusagakure would notice Menma, who was channeling a large amount of chakra into the Box of Bliss.

This surge of chakra.

That's a level that's completely beyond what humans could possibly reach!

'So they still came?'

When Wuwei saw the four people arrive, a fierce glint flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

With a slight movement, he seemingly unintentionally positioned himself between the Box of Bliss and the four elders.

"This is a distinguished guest whom I invited to assist in opening the Chest of Bliss. His name is Uzumaki Menma. I think the four elders should be familiar with his identity."

Wuwei remained indifferent, speaking calmly.

"What!? Whirlpool face?"

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!?"
