How many Grass Ninja were cursing at the top of their lungs in Hozuki Castle at that moment?
None of these Grass Ninja had imagined that, with a formidable enemy bearing down on them, Mui would wish for his son Muku to return instead of asking the Box of Ultimate Bliss for tremendous power.
They truly could not understand it. Even if Mui wished Muku back, what good would that do?
Uchiha Chisen could arrive at Hozuki Castle at any moment. Wouldn't they all die just the same?
"The sins I bear may indeed be impossible to wash away, but my son has committed no sins!"
Mui glanced at the incredulous Grass Ninja and merely sneered inwardly.
Mui had known exactly what he wanted from the very beginning. Or rather, all he had ever wanted was to bring his son back. In his eyes, as long as Muku could return, what did it matter if it cost him his life?
"Is that your wish?"
"Then your wish shall be granted!"
As Mui watched the Box of Ultimate Bliss with anxious anticipation, a response came from within.
The moment the box spoke, Mui's expression turned to wild joy.
Amid the Grass Ninja's curses, beneath Mui's expectant gaze, a figure slowly rose inside the Box of Ultimate Bliss, pushed it open, and walked toward him.
"M-Muku-"
Looking at that familiar face, Mui truly felt he could die without regrets.
To bring his son Muku back, he had drained the chakra of countless people in Hozuki Castle. His hands were stained with untold sins, and he had even schemed against these Grass Ninja. Hadn't it all been for Muku's return?
Now that Muku had truly appeared before him, Mui's voice trembled, and he felt that everything he had done had been worth it!
