"You're back."
Kisame looked at Pakura standing saw at the door from the mirror, turned around, took a piece of cloth from the hanger and put it on his body.
He noticed that Pakura seemed to be in a hurry when she entered the door, and asked, "What happened?"
Hearing this, Pakura took a deep breath and replied solemnly: "The news that just returned to the prison is that, just half a month ago, the third ninja war broke out..."
She told all the information she had heard.
It all started because not long ago, Sunagakure had announced an astonishing news: the strongest Kazekage, the third Kazekage had been missing for nearly a year, and was identified as murdered. His disciple Raza succeeded him, officially and become the fourth Kazekage.
As soon as the news came out, Raikage felt that there was an opportunity. Taking advantage of the unstable foundation of the new Kazekage, he led the army to invade the Land of Wind, and opened the prelude to the war.
Kumogakure, a militant themed village , has been dormant for nearly 30 years since the first Ninja War, and has accumulated a huge military force.
Now it's making a comeback.
This time, the Land of Lightning attacked not only the Land of Wind, but also the Land of Stone and the Land of Fire. Their plan is mostly to unify the ninja world.
In a chaotic situation, Konoha and Kumogakure also clashed, and a war broke out on their border.
Among the five major ninja villages, only Kirigakure, the Land of Water, has not yet participated in the war, and it is watching the fire from the other side. But there must be some small movements and it is impossible for them not to find an opportunity to intervene.
When big countries fight, small countries suffer.
Under the influence of the war, small ninja villages like Kusagakure were the first to become victims.
A week ago, the troops of the three major powers of Stone, Fire and Lightning all appeared in the Land of Grass, and used this place as a battlefield, and fierce battles broke out.
Many innocent civilians in the Land of Grass were killed and blood flowed into rivers.
Under such circumstances, Mui and other high-level Kusagakure ninjas were naturally very angry. In order to save the Land of Grass, they moved more and more frequently, sacrificing more than a dozen prisoners in a row.
They are desperate to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
After listening to the news brought by Pakura, Kisame fell into deep thought.
The time and details of the outbreak of the Third Ninja War were somewhat different from the plot in his memory. Thinking about it, it may be because of he had triggered a series of butterfly effects because of all the actions he took from the start.
The war has started, and the troubled times are coming, and many parts of the ninja world will become very dangerous, and he can't wait any longer.
Thinking of this, he said to Pakura, "I'm going to attack the Box of Ultimate Bliss."
'Finally!'
Pakura was shocked. In the past six months, in the process of monitoring Mui and others, she saw with her own eyes that the Box of Ultimate Bliss devoured the lives of many prisoners, and knew that it was terrifying.
At this moment, she was actually worried about Kisame.
Hozuki Castle outside the prison.
The breeze blew across a green meadow.
On the grass, there was a big tree, and under the tree stood a black-haired boy and a white-haired girl, who were practicing ninjutsu here.
Fire release · Ghost lantern!
The black-haired boy was skilled in making seals, he summoned dozens of ghost fires in the shape of evil ghosts, floating around his body, which was very spectacular.
It can be seen that the boy's ninjutsu talent is very high, and he has a huge amount of chakra.
He is Mui's son, Muku, an unprecedented genius in Kusagakure.
The white-haired girl next to Muku was his childhood sweetheart and playmate, named Ryuzetsu, and she was also a genius who possessed the "Dragon Reincarnation", which is a Kekkei Genkai.
"Muku, what's the matter with you?" Ryuzetsu felt that there was something wrong with Muku today, he seemed to be very preoccupied, and he was not as devoted as usual when practicing ninjutsu.
"Ryuzetsu, tomorrow is the day when I help my father open the Box of Ultimate Bliss." Muku said with his head lowered.
"Is that so? I've waited for this day. Alas, I really envy you. You are a hero of the village even though you are a fool every day."
Ryuzetsu eyes were full of longing and expectations, unaware of the danger.
'If it doesn't work, he will never come back.'
Muku said silently in his heart, producing an ominous premonition.
But now, for the sake of the village, he can only believe in his father and accept his own destiny.
The next day.
Underground laboratory.
Muku lay on the operating table, Mui and elders of Kusagakure formed a circle, preparing for the last sacrifice ceremony.
"Muku, your chakra will help us open the Box of Ultimate Bliss and realize the revival of Kusagakure. As a father, I am proud of you."
Mui said this to his son.
As soon as his voice fell, he raised his hands, intending to make a seal and perform a spell.
At this time.
"I advise you not to do this." Kisame suddenly came from behind everyone, causing Mui and the others to suddenly change their expressions and panic.
"You really knew it."
Mui stared at Kisame who came out of the darkness, and Pakura beside the latter, and said coldly.
"Block them! No matter what today, let Mui complete the ceremony and open the Box of Ultimate Bliss!"
Several high-level Kusagakure ninjas moved and stood in front of Kisame and Pakura, looking like they were going to die.
"Don't get excited, if you really want to go your own way, I won't stop you."
However, Kisame waved his hand and gave Pakura a wink. The two walked to the side together and sat on the stool.
A show watcher attitude.
"This..." The elders looked at each other in dismay.
"Since this is the case, I will let you have the honor to experience the true power of the Box of Ultimate Bliss."
Mui glanced at the two of them, no longer hesitating, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he pressed his palm to his son, Muku's chest.
"Um…"
Muku suddenly let out a muffled groan, revealing a painful expression.
Next second.
'Boom.'
A huge chakra rushed out of Muku's body and entered the door opposite the operating table, causing a dazzling red light to appear on the door.
Soon, under the expectant and nervous gaze of Mui and the others, the human face on the door opened its mouth wide, sending out a suction force that sucked Muku, who had fallen into a coma, into it.
However, to the great disappointment of Mui and others, after that, the gate returned to peace.
As if nothing had happened.
After a moment of silence.
'Boom!'
Mui clenched his fists, and slammed him on the operating table with a ferocity.
"Impossible, impossible! Why is this happening, why can't I open the Box of Ultimate Bliss even after I have done this step?"
He let out an unwilling roar, his long hair was scattered, and his expression gradually became crazy.
The rest of the senior management of Kusagakure also slumped on the ground, disheartened.
In order to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss, they spent decades building a prison on this desolate island, using prisoners as sacrifices, and made countless efforts, but ultimately they failed.
Perhaps, the legend about this box was never true. Using it to revive Kusagakure is the wishful thinking of everyone.
At a time when the ninjas of Kusagakure are depressed.
Kisame stood up, crossed the crowd, and walked towards the gate.
Mui just watched, he neither had the ability nor the motivation to stop Kisame.
From Mui's point of view, even his family, which has been guarding the Box of Ultimate Bliss for generations, could not open it. Can Kisame, an outsider, open it?
He even suspected that the Box of Ultimate Bliss that had gone through the chaos of the Six Paths period and was broken.
Now it's just a broken box.
"Pakura."
Kisame came to the gate and called Pakura.
She nodded, immediately raised her hand to seal, and a hot flame rushed out of her body in an instant, covering her body, turning her into the form of a fire girl.
At this time, Pakura was like a goddess of flame, and she snapped her fingers with a "pop".
'Shhhhhh.'
Several scorching fireballs flew out from her fingertips, approaching Mui and others, making them instantly feel the threat of death.
Mui and the others all changed their expressions and retreated to the door of the laboratory.
"Don't worry, if Hoshigaki Kisame has a way to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss, we will never interfere with him. I just want to know whether the rumors of the Box of Ultimate Bliss are true or not, and whether our efforts over the years are meaningful..."
Mui pleaded with Pakura, hoping she would let them stay and witness.
All the senior members of Kusagakure also took off their masks, put down their weapons, and looked at Kisame who was standing behind Pakura.
At this time, Kisame started to move.
Facing the door, he folded his hands together, and an unimaginably huge chakra burst out of his body in an instant, forming a strong wind outside his body that swept the entire laboratory.
"This, is this the amount of chakra that humans can have..."
At this moment, whether it was Pakura, Mui or the elders, they all looked at Kisame in extreme surprise, their expressions extremely horrified.
What they saw seemed not to be a human being, but a tailed beast.
Muku, as a genius of Kusagakure, has an amazing amount of chakra, but compared to Kisame, it is simply insignificant.
That's right.
Kisame's chakra volume at this time has reached the level of the "tailless beast" in the anime, and at the age of 14, he developed the full potential of his body.
After releasing his chakra, he stretched out a big hand and pressed the face on the door.
'Buzz.'
It seems that Kisame's huge chakra was sensed, and the door lit up red again. That face with a sad expression opened its mouth wide open, exuding extreme greed and desire.
It issued a strong suction again, sucking Kisame's burly body into the door.
Kisame did not resist, and instead smiled.
The moment he entered the door, he activated the Panda in his mind!
'Swish.'
After Kisame was swallowed by the door, the human face seemed to burp, then slowly closed its mouth, and soon returned to silence.
No movement at all.
'That's it?'
Mui and the others looked stunned.
They have seen this scene hundreds of times. Any prisoner swallowed by the Box of Ultimate Bliss is like a mud bull into the sea, unable to lift a single wave.
Even with Chakra as huge as Kisame's can't be an exception?
Pakura frowned, staring at the face on the door. She didn't believe that Kisame would die so easily.
She decided to wait another minute.
If there is still no movement behind the door within a minute, she will blast the door open with her own scorching release to see what is hidden in it.
Pakura didn't wait too long.
Ten seconds later.
'Rumble.'
The door suddenly shook violently, and the entire underground laboratory shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
Under Pakura's astonished eyes, the door turned.
Only then did she realize that the gate in front of her was actually just one side of the Box of Ultimate Bliss. Each of its four faces has a giant human face, and there are four different expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and fear.
