Everyone Inside Was Talented, and They Spoke So Nicely

Even when you master Sealing Jutsu, they all ultimately boil down to the same principle.

Unable to use Chakra doesn't mean he can't use the system. The Nine-Tails' chakra belongs to the system, so even if Naruto's own Chakra is sealed, it doesn't mean he can't use Ninjutsu.

Even assuming the system has techniques that don't require Chakra.

Furthermore, Kakashi likely has a backup plan. It's just that for now, only a notice to go to jail has been issued; he'll probably need to be given further instructions later, perhaps even causing a prison turmoil?

Safety is definitely guaranteed, but more importantly, Blood Prison has what he wants. It's not some kind of Box of Paradise; he already has a system, what use is that thing?

It's unrealistic to expect to fulfill those wishes; it's nothing but a box of sins.

The consumables he needs most right now, the consumables for the Evil God follower, and the Land of Grass's Anbu's Ryūzetsu is a pretty good consumable. He's only three missions away from completing mission three, so if he could subdue the Ryūzetsu, that would be great.

Seeing Tenten's worried expression, Naruto waved his hand.

"Let's see how it goes first; it doesn't necessarily mean I'll end up in jail."

"Isn't this a done deal?" Tenten was speechless, and tugged at his clothes again. "This kind of thing is not a game!"

"Well, I know what I'm doing." Naruto suddenly put a hand on Tenten's shoulder and lowered his voice, "When I find that bastard who framed me, I'll definitely dig up his ancestral grave."

Tenten I feel ashamed. "."

That's so Naruto, always seeking revenge.

Now that the main party has agreed, the basic tone of the matter is set. Shino's team's mission was changed midway through, from investigating Yamato's whereabouts to escorting Naruto to Hozuki Castle prison.

It was called escorting them, but it was really just accompanying them. It's rare to see them chatting and laughing before going to prison.

The closer they got to the shoreline of Hozuki Castle Prison, the more uneasy Tenten became. She couldn't help but tug at Naruto's clothes again, and asked as he turned around.

Are you really sure?

"I'm not 100% sure, but there shouldn't be any problems," Naruto answered truthfully.

Saying it or not saying it makes no difference; she's speechless for a long time Tenten. Once this person starts being perfunctory, they launch into a rambling, nonsensical monologue, so she simply stops asking.

Hozuki Castle, coastline.

Tenten Tian watched with a worried expression as the airship carrying prisoners slowly approached.

The Hozuki Castle prison is located on an island, surrounded by turbulent whirlpools and undercurrents, where anyone who falls in has no chance of survival.

The prison was named after the Hozuki Grass that grew along the outer coast; Hozuki Grass fruits would sometimes fly over the high walls when the wind blew. The red fruits were sustenance, while the white fruits had an anesthetic effect.

"Go back, I'm going to jail." Naruto waved his hand listlessly, looking like he was giving up.

The three of them were speechless for a moment, but there was nothing they could do, so they could only slowly turn around and leave. Before leaving, Tenten paused and gave him a deep look.

Naruto didn't react, turning around to watch the prison airship approach. Suddenly, a loud cry rang out in the sky, and a black eagle flew overhead.

A white note landed silently in front of him, and Naruto reached out and grabbed it. After confirming the airship was still some distance away, he opened the note.

[The mission is to prevent the higher-ups of Kusagakure from opening the Box of Paradise. You must be resourceful; there are no reinforcements. After you succeed, you can use the excuse of turning against the village, and I can do you a small favor. For example, I might have a way to deal with the relationship between Inoichi Yamanaka and Hyuga Hiashi, which has been bothering you. —Kakashi]

He glanced at it, his gaze lingering on the words "no reinforcements," and he immediately felt a wave of exasperation wash over him.

Fighting alone?

Lost in thought, the people from Hozuki Castle arrived. The jade-footed... oh wait, the fierce-looking jailers came up and, without a word, handcuffed Naruto.

With a snap, Naruto casually pulled away, and the handcuffs broke, falling to the ground with an awkward jingling sound.

Although the jailer was arrogant, he wasn't entirely blind. Knowing that this was a formidable opponent, and considering that the man wasn't yet imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, he decided to hold back for the time being.

The two jailers then gave each other an embarrassed smile.

"Sir, you need to wear handcuffs to enter the prison; it's the rule of Hozuki Castle."

"I've never heard of this rule, and I don't want to wear it now." Naruto glanced at the jailer, looking unapproachable, and said without restraint.

The jailers were somewhat helpless, but for now they could only coax the man inside first. They had seen many arrogant prisoners, who were either shackled or locked in cages when they were brought in; it was rare to see one without any restraints at all.

These kinds of people usually hold a high position in their original village and value dignity highly. They might have come believing the village would clear their name, but once they're in Ghost Lantern Island prison, well...

"It's alright, sir, please come with us first." The jailer forced a smile and made way for him.

Naruto didn't continue to make things difficult for the jailer. He toned down his attitude a bit, spat on the ground, and then boarded the airship.

Despite being called an airship, it's really just a simple motorboat used to transport prisoners. Generally, it picks up a lot of prisoners, but not many actually manage to leave Ghost Lantern Island Prison.

The imprisonment, registration, assembly, warden's rounds, and Heavenly Prison Seal were all done in one go.

Looking at the long line of people going to prison, Naruto realized that the Hozuki Island prison was enormous, encompassing the entire island except for the beach on the coast.

But this was only because the area was entirely composed of hard, rocky beaches, making excavation and modification extremely difficult. Despite such a harsh environment, plants, Hozuki Grass, still grew on the rocky beach.

The search process began, and the prisoners each used their own unique methods. Although all the prisoners were sealed with the Heavenly Prison Seal, using Ninjutsu would cause their hearts to burn.

Even so, it doesn't mean there are no other ways. If one can force oneself to endure the pain without changing expression, it is possible to use Genjutsu to evade it.

For example, Ryūzetsu, Anbu Kusagakure who was among the first few to stand before Naruto.

With white hair and blue eyes, wearing a pirate bandana, it was impossible to tell if he was male or female, but looking around Hozuki Castle, it seemed that only male prisoners were present. Since the search was conducted one by one, Naruto didn't know what methods Ryūzetsu would use.

Soon it was the next person's turn, and it seemed that Ryūzetsu had gotten away with it.

"Next! Naruto Uzumaki!"

Naruto was about to move forward, holding his prison uniform, when he suddenly heard someone laugh behind him. He instinctively dodged to the side. With a thud, the jailer missed his target and fell flat on his face.

He glanced back and gave a mocking smile.

What are you doing?

"You idiot!" The jailer roared angrily, clenching his fists. "Stop being so smug. Once you're in Hozuki Castle, don't even think about leaving. You'll regret it!"

"Is that so?" Naruto didn't linger, walking towards the room where he was being searched, leaving behind the words, "I didn't intend to leave either."

It was called a room, but it was just a partition with a curtain. What was rare was that such a place paid attention to the privacy of prisoners, and even had a complete infirmary and library.

According to the warden, once you're in here, don't even think about leaving; the village will never trust them again. If you give up on leaving, you'll be fine here.

After all, the funding for Hozuki Castle's island came not only from the Land of Grass but also from the Five Great Nations. Even prisoners were a valuable asset to the ninja village, and they wouldn't simply let them go unpunished.

After all, whether the truth is uncovered or war breaks out, these people can receive amnesty and continue to serve the village. Besides, other major powers have paid for it; no one would feel at ease without contributing.

If they send people over without paying, the criminals of this country will inevitably face harassment, which will surely breed hatred over time. If they are won over by others, it will be an undeserved disaster for the village.

That's why the conditions here are better than in most ninja prisons.

"Take off all your clothes!" the fat, big-nosed warden ordered menacingly, brandishing a black glue stick. Several guards surrounded him, clearly having received word that Naruto would receive special treatment.

Naruto didn't hesitate; this wasn't the time for empty talk. He swung his elbow and attacked, his waist and hips shifting like steel bearings in an instant, delivering a whip-like punch with visible force that slammed into a jailer's face.

With a loud bang, the jailer's face instantly contorted, and his nose snapped with a crack. He was sent flying backward in a bow-shaped, shrimp-like motion, as if struck by a chariot.

It slammed into the wall with a thud, creating a large crater.

Upon seeing this, the other prison guards' expressions changed drastically, and the fat warden broke out in a cold sweat. That punch even generated a gust of wind! Was it sealed?

"Still want to check?" Naruto stopped, his eyes sweeping over the warden, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "I'll dig your organs out with my bare hands."

Damn, the warden's legs almost gave way. What kind of monster is this?

"No, no... no need!" The warden's face was filled with fear. He swallowed hard and backed away. "That... has already been checked, there's no need to check again."

"That's good." Naruto, wearing only a pair of shorts, swaggered away carrying his prison uniform and a pendulum swinging from his body, his muscles standing out prominently.

"Sir." A jailer approached, his face showing considerable fear. "Who is that person? From Konohagakure?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the corner, where the unconscious jailer had already been carried out on a stretcher.

"If he didn't use Chakra, his pure physical strength would far exceed that of ordinary people. He's no longer human."

"That's Konohagakure's Jinchuriki. We made a mistake." The warden plopped back into his chair, looking terrified. "The intelligence said that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki relies entirely on Chakra and doesn't train much."

"If that's the case, we just need to wait for Lord Mu to seal his Chakra, and he'll basically have no fighting power left. Besides, there are the prison rules in place, and ordinary people won't easily disobey them."

"But sir, those muscles... they don't look like someone who hasn't trained at all!" The confidant still felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled the scene of Naruto's attack.

"Who knows? We should avoid provoking him in the future." The warden sighed. "He probably didn't use his full strength in that punch; the aura he emitted was enough to give people nightmares."

"My lord, there's no need to be so tense. We can find more people," the confidant whispered. "No matter how strong he is, he's still just a physical body. We can use Ninjutsu."

"Forget it, at most we'll beat him up. Konohagakure definitely won't let him get away with it," the warden said. "What if that guy catches someone alone and actually pulls our guts out? He'll probably just get some punishment and solitary confinement."

Upon hearing this, the confidant trembled for a moment and made no mention of revenge.

In his solitary confinement cell, Naruto had just lain down when he suddenly sat up again. He stretched his hand out over the bars, waved it around for a while, and shouted.

"Hey, you next door, come out and talk to me."

After a while, there was no sound and no one paid any attention to him.

"Hey, you next door, come out here!" Naruto pounded on the neighbor's railing with his backhand, his voice getting louder and louder. "Hey, if you don't answer me, I'm going to yell!"

In the next cell, Ryūzetsu, enduring the pain of the Heavenly Prison Seal activating. She had used Genjutsu during the search and suffered the backlash from the Heavenly Prison Seal.

In that case, she will need to rest for at least one or two days.

But she had barely sat down and closed her eyes to rest when a loud commotion erupted next door. The person was none other than her target, Naruto Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto is no longer the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but this news is only a consensus within Konoha, and at most, the other Five Great Nations Kage know some information about it.

He didn't go around denying the rumors, as that would seem like protesting too much. A chaotic village like Kusagakure, already on the verge of collapse, was barely able to save itself.

Furthermore, since Ryūzetsu was just an ordinary member of the Anbu, it was even less likely that he would know that his target had already changed his ways.

Hearing Naruto shouting, Ryūzetsu initially thought she could just ignore him and he would naturally stop after a while. But instead, he only shouted even louder. Ryūzetsu couldn't stand it anymore. She was a troublemaker, and what she wanted was to keep a low profile.

If Naruto continues shouting like this, he might attract the attention of the guards, and if he were to give himself away in his current state, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"What are you doing!" Ryūzetsu coldly walked to the edge and slapped Naruto's hand away. "Quiet down, you're disturbing my rest."

"It's nothing, just meeting my new neighbors." Naruto grinned, though you could only see his hand, not his person.

He vaguely noticed that the veins on Ryūzetsu's arm seemed somewhat red, and he immediately understood. Sure enough, this person had used Ninjutsu during the search and was now suffering the backlash from the Heavenly Prison Seal.

"You're in a lot of pain right now, aren't you?" Naruto asked in a low voice, with a hint of seduction.

"What?"

"The backlash from the Sealing Jutsu, and you managed to keep quiet. Your patience is quite impressive," Naruto said pointedly, with a hint of sarcasm.

The Ryūzetsu next door felt a chill in its heart. It hadn't expected to be discovered as soon as it entered, and it was worried that others might have found out as well.

"Don't worry, I should be the only one who knows about this right now."

"You!" Ryūzetsu's pupils dilated slightly; the other party seemed to know what he was thinking. "What exactly do you want?"

"Secret."
