Chapter 84 The Word 'Miserable' is Written All Over Your Body

At this time, inside Hōzuki Castle.

In the underground dark room.

A burly middle-aged Shinobi stood in front of a huge box, gently stroking the box, and his eyes were full of desires, "The legendary treasure of the Sage of Six Paths, wake up quickly and realize my wish!"

The box naturally won't respond, but he doesn't care.

As soon as he thought of the note he received this afternoon, he couldn't help but feel excited, "Is it because the quality of the previous sacrifices was too bad? It doesn't matter, I have found a better substitute. Now, I won't wait too long to..."

At this moment, there was movement from above the dark room.

"Kuroishi-sama, Himasu-sama is here."

"Okay, I will go up now."

Looking at the Box of Ultimate Bliss reluctantly, Kuroishi put on a smile on his face and walked out.

Outside.

"Kuroishi-senpai, things have been basically figured out." After seeing Kuroishi, Himasu didn't talk much, and said straight to the point, "Konoha didn't notice our movements. We can continue after they leave."

"Well..." Kuroishi pondered for a while, "Actually, I have a new idea."

"New idea?"

"That is, let those Konoha Shinobi stay here forever!"

"Kuroishi-senpai, isn't that too radical?" Himasu asked in shock.

"Haha, you guys are too cautious. How can we win the war without taking some risks?" Kuroishi patted his shoulder and laughed.

Himasu frowned, "But, in this way, our intentions are completely exposed!"

Kuroishi waved his hand indifferently, "Your thinking is still too rigid. If you invite those young Shinobi to Iwagakure as guests, maybe Konoha will unite with us?"

Himasu was still a little hesitant, "But what if Konoha is not threatened? Or, let's ask Tsuchikage-sama for instruction, okay?"

Hearing this, Kuroishi was very unhappy, "Are you the leader or I am the leader? When you are finished asking for instruction, those people from Konoha would have already run away."

Himasu smiled wryly and said, "Okay, I'll get Mui to invite them, but we still have to be careful with that Inoichi."

Kuroishi smiled instantly and said, "Don't worry, it's not the first time I've dealt with a Shinobi from Yamanaka Clan. As long as you are careful, their Mind Body Switch Technique won't work."

Himasu nodded in understanding. He knew that Konoha's "Ino–Shika–Cho" combination is indeed very difficult to deal with, but, if it's just one of them, he just need to be a little more careful.

When he was about to leave, he hesitantly reminded Kuroishi, "Kuroishi-senpai, those prisoners of Hōzuki Castle...you should handle it with caution, in case the other Great Shinobi Village know that we are accumulating these forces, it will be troublesome."

Kuroishi smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one will know."

When Himasu leaves, the smile on Kuroishi's face disappeared little by little.

"Idiot, do you really think I fancy the power of those prisoners? All I want is their chakra!"

"As for Tsuchikage? That Onoki is old, I should be a more suitable person for the Tsuchikage's position! No, that's not right! As long as I can master the secrets of the Box of Ultimate Bliss, what is Tsuchikage? I should become the master of this world!"

"hehehe… …Huh?"

Just as he was so proud of himself, a pigeon landed at his feet.

"The second time today? I should have told him not to contact me frequently, right?" Kuroishi's expression darkened and he picked up the small paper tube inside the pigeon's beak, "I hope it's important news, otherwise..."

"Huh?" With just one glance, Kuroishi's eyes widened, "Damn it! How dare dare... No wonder he said this to me today. Was it for testing purposes?"

Kuroishi looked gloomy and there is uncertainty in his eyes, and then, as if he has made a major decision, he grasped the note in his hand, "Don't blame me, I have no way to turn back now!"

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Sōseki, who has just finished his morning training, stood in front of the mirror and muttered to himself, "In this plan, in addition to making Inoichi-sensei pay more attention to my opinions, so as to pave the way for future actions, the following experience and insights I get are also indispensable!"

'But before that, I must seal the most critical part of my memory first! As for the key to unseal it, let's designated it as Konoha's Sensing Barrier!'

Thinking of this, Sōseki no longer hesitated. He formed a hand seal with his hands, and finally pressed his eyebrows!

...

Outside the residence of the Minister of Finance.

"Himasu-sama..."

"Call me Kuroko, and remember, my current identity is the deputy warden of Hōzuki Castle!"

"Yes, Kuroko-sama." Mui readily followed Himasu's order, and then asked again, "But, didn't you say yesterday that we don't need to do anything to them?"

Himasu blushed, and shouted, "I didn't say it, you must have remembered it wrong!"

Without waiting for Mui to reply, he turned his head away with a guilty conscience, "Don't waste time, go in."

"Yes!"

The two walked in, had a pretended conversation with Ueno, and were then led to the room of Sōseki and the others.

"Inoichi-senpai!" Mui greeted from a distance.

"Mui, who are you?" Inoichi asked "doubtfully".

"This is the deputy warden of our Hōzuki Castle, Kuroko-sama." Mui gave an introduction and then invited, "We are here today because we want to invite Inoichi-senpai and the others to visit Hōzuki Castle."

"Hōzuki Castle? What are we going to do there?" Asuma asked at the right time.

"Let me explain." Himasu looked bitter and filled with hatred, "Alas, the current situation of Hōzuki Castle is too difficult. Whether it's manpower or equipment, it's almost impossible to support it."

"But we are just low-level people, and no one will care about what we say, so I want to invite a few Konoha's Shinobi to be the witnesses and tell Hokage-sama what you have seen."

Inoichi frowned, looking a little hesitant.

Kurenai, who is on the side, bit her lip and said pitifully, "Inoichi-sensei, why don't we help Mui-senpai and the others?"

Asuma patted his chest and said confidently, "Inoichi -sensei, don't worry! If that old fogey blames you for the delay of our return to the village, you can just put the blame on me."

Hearing this, Inoichi smiled wryly and said," Okay, but I'll tell you all in advance, we will only stay for one more day at most!"

'Hokage's son can even influence Jōnin's decision? Konoha is really corrupt!' Himasu felt contemptuous, but his face was full of gratitude, "Thank you so much, I will do my best to host you all!"

'It's just that this reception may not be the same as what you imagined, hehe...' Himasu quickly lowered his head, worried that the other party would see his smile.

On the side, looking at Himasu, who was secretly proud of himself, Mui felt a burst of sympathy, 'Sure enough, it's the same as me last time. Only the one who was being played who didn't know it!'

'Wait, it doesn't seem right! Last time, it was four of them who played with me, but this time, it was five of us who played with him! Also, Kuroishi might be thinking about how to kill him now!'

Thinking of this, Mui only felt that the word "miserable" was written all over Himasu's body, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly!
