On this day, Kakashi was lying on the deck, looking despondently at "Icha Icha Paradise," when he suddenly heard the barking of his ninken from the bow of the ship.

"Hmm? Has Pakkun discovered something?"

He straightened up and looked ahead, seeing a pillar of light shooting into the sky in the distance.

"What is that..." Yamato came over, shielding his eyes with his hand as he looked towards the pillar of light.

"Quick, turn the rudder in that direction!" Kakashi turned and ordered the Chunin who was steering the ship.

"Yes!"

...

Kaito watched as the pillar of light before him gradually dissipated, revealing the purified Box of Ultimate Bliss.

Now, the inside of the box was completely empty.

Then, the large bloom of red spider lilies quickly withered and disappeared, leaving only the single original flower.

Kaito walked over, picked up the now more vibrant and dazzling flower, and put it back into his sleeve.

Next, he threw out a few talisman papers, gathering natural energy and infusing it into the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

The box began to tremble slightly, greedily absorbing the abundant energy like a whale sucking in water.

A huge vortex formed in the surrounding air, and after several minutes, the energy within the box reached saturation.

The mouths of the beast heads on the box slowly closed, and the demon mask that had fallen to the ground floated up, covering the beast heads with a few clangs.

At this moment, Gurē flew down from the sky.

"Gurē, gurē, gurē! Kaito! A ship is coming!"

"Oh? Has the light attracted others?" Kaito jumped to the top of the Box of Ultimate Bliss and looked into the distance.

"More than one ship has been drawn here. Are they specifically looking for me?"

Gurē perched on his shoulder, flapping his wings against Kaito's head, and shouted, "Hey! You caused a ruckus at Hozuki Castle. It's only natural that people are looking for you! Show some awareness!"

"Is that so? Hahaha..." Kaito rubbed his head, jumping down from the Box of Ultimate Bliss. "It seems Kusagakure was forced to disclose information about the Box of Ultimate Bliss."

As he continued to place talisman papers on the box, he said, "Kusagakure doesn't have enough manpower to search for me, so it must be the five great ninja villages."

"If there weren't enough benefits, the five great ninja villages wouldn't deploy ninjas to search the vast ocean for a hard-to-find target, delaying their missions."

After placing the talisman papers, he reconnected with the Ryūmyaku, commanding the Ryūmyaku Chains to drag the Box of Ultimate Bliss underground.

"Alright." He stood up, clapping his hands. "Let's go see who has come."

...

The ship carrying the Konoha ninjas gradually approached the deserted island, while another ship appeared on the sea on the other side.

"Kakashi, it seems you also noticed the situation here," Maki's voice called from afar.

Due to their alliance, the ships of Konoha and Sunagakure were close to each other. Evidently, the Sunagakure ninjas were also drawn by the dissipating light pillar.

"So, it's you. Let's check it out together," Kakashi said, jumping from the bow and landing on the beach.

The Konoha ninjas followed, jumping off the ship.

At that moment, Kaito's voice came from the forest.

"Why is it you again, Kakashi?"

"Be on guard," Yamato, standing beside Kakashi, turned and instructed the Chunin behind them.

Kakashi walked a few steps forward, lifting his forehead protector to reveal his Sharingan, and responded, "Well, I also want to know why it's me again. I just wanted to spend my days lazily."

"That's because the capable are always busy," Kaito said, surrounded by a golden mist, an owl perched on his shoulder, as he floated down from a large tree. "It seems the Fifth Hokage values you highly."

"Thanks for the compliment." Kakashi smiled, his eyes narrowing. "But you've been hard to find."

"Eh? Should I thank you for your hard work?" Kaito looked genuinely puzzled.

"Kakashi," Maki said, approaching with the Sunagakure ninjas.

Kaito petted Gurē's feathers and asked, "So, Sunagakure came too? You're all here for the Box of Ultimate Bliss, right?"

"That's right," Maki replied, taking out a kunai and preparing for an attack. "Kaito, hand over the Box of Ultimate Bliss!"

The Sunagakure ninjas behind him also prepared for battle.

"What a hassle," Kaito said nonchalantly, still petting Gurē's feathers without giving the Sunagakure ninjas a single glance.

"Poor guys! You can't even afford decent puppets!"

I, Kaito, do not take you seriously!

"If it's a hassle, then don't cause trouble everywhere," Kakashi said, seemingly not intending to attack as he walked up. "But, I do have some questions for you."

"I know what you want to ask," Kaito said, turning to look at Kakashi. "I can tell you, it's exactly who you think it is."

Kakashi stopped, a bitter smile on his face. "So, it's true."

"Indeed," Kaito confirmed with a nod. "I was also very surprised. That person's transformation is too drastic."

"Is that so," Kakashi said seriously. "Thank you."

Kaito smiled gently. "You're welcome."

"Kakashi! What are you talking about?" Maki, seeing Kakashi and Kaito chatting amiably, couldn't help but be suspicious. "Could it be... Konoha is really in cahoots with Kaito?"

As soon as he spoke, the Sunagakure ninjas became even more tense, some even turning their vigilance towards the Konoha ninjas.

Sunagakure's actions immediately triggered a chain reaction, with the Konoha ninjas also becoming wary of the Sunagakure ninjas.

"How interesting," Kaito said, looking at the scene with great interest. "There are only two ninja villages now. It would be even more lively if the other three showed up."

Kakashi gave Kaito a strange look. Is he confident because he's highly skilled?

At that moment, Kaito suddenly noticed the two puppets in front of Kankuro, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "Hey! Sunagakure's painted face kid!"

"What?" Kankuro, feeling everyone's gaze shift to him, couldn't help but grit his teeth. "My name is Kankuro!"

"Whatever," Kaito waved dismissively, looking at him with disdain. "I just wanted to tell you that your puppets are trash."

"I told you my name is Kankuro!" Kankuro couldn't help but shout.

Hey, you're missing the point.

For a moment, everyone was speechless, looking at him.

Kankuro then realized and his forehead veins bulged again. He moved his fingers, making the two puppets in front of him rattle.

"How dare you insult my proud puppets! I'll kill you!"

"Eh? You're angry already?" Kaito said leisurely. "By the way, can your puppets shoot homing missiles?"

"How could they have such things!" Kankuro shouted.

"What about laser cannons?"

"I said it's impossible, damn it!" Kankuro almost screamed.

"So, your puppets are trash, Kakunro," Kaito concluded in an obviously natural tone.

"It's Kankuro! You're definitely doing this on purpose, you bastard! I won't let you off!"

Kankuro's fingers moved rapidly, and the two puppets in front of him rattled as they rushed forward.
