In Shamu's understanding,
the Box of Paradise was considered a failed creation of the Sage of Six Paths.
When it was created, it was meant to absorb humanity's joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure as power to grant wishes.
But the Shinobi World had been ravaged by war for years, and everyone who obtained the Box of Paradise was an ambitious schemer.
Most of the wishes they wanted granted were meant to satisfy their own greed and ambition.
Chakra contained a person's emotions.
The methods such ambitious people used to open the Box of Paradise were hardly anything good.
Soaked in countless negative emotions such as rage, grief, and despair, the Box of Paradise had long since become a demonic box.
After all, humanity would never be satisfied.
Even though Kusagakure had already been destroyed once because of this box,
those who came after had long forgotten the terror of the Box of Paradise.
Now that three sides of the Box of Paradise had absorbed enough Chakra, the entire panel had opened, leaving only the final side—"pleasure."
Just as it had absorbed enough to make Gaara's eyes faintly redden, it could no longer draw Chakra from him.
The Box of Paradise seemed to grow anxious, and the entire box began to tremble.
It started extracting Gaara's vitality, draining the last of his worth.
Just as Shamu was about to make his move,
a sudden change occurred!
Muwi suddenly kicked Monkey Head Elder!
Monkey Head Elder was a short, slight woman. She was a typical ninjutsu-type shinobi and had never been good at taijutsu.
Moreover, after gaining power, she had not trained for many years.
She never expected Muwi to launch a sudden sneak attack.
She cried out and was sent flying directly onto the "pleasure" side of the Box of Paradise.
