Hyuga Sho frowned, sensing an aura of conspiracy from this incident.
"Are you crazy, Mui?!"
The Four Captains' voices had completely changed.
"You traitor!"
It took them a while to recover, but the Four Captains shouted in unison.
"Do you know what you've done?"
"Mui! You'll pay for this!"
"In my heart..." Mui looked toward the Four Captains. "Kusagakure has been dead for a long time..."
"Damn you, Mui!"
The Four Captains assumed their stances.
"From the very beginning, you were planning to revive your wife! You've been fooling us all these years!"
"We're even, then."
Mui's gaze darkened.
"Did you ever consider Kusagakure's affairs? You only wanted to satisfy your own selfish desires... As the strongest Elite Jonin in Kusagakure... it wasn't until my son's thirteenth birthday that I let him eat ramen for the first time in his life! Yet you could casually produce 100 million ryo!"
"Words are useless... Mui, prepare yourself!"
The Four Captains roared and were about to cast their techniques.
However.
The next moment.
The Box of Paradise rumbled.
The door... opened.
More precisely, one of its faces—the face of joy—opened its mouth.
"!"
Everyone's eyes widened.
Within that wide-open mouth.
A dark, bottomless space appeared... as though it connected to another world.
The prisoners, the Four Captains, and Mui.
As well as Uchiha Obito, Black Zetsu, and White Zetsu, who had been watching everything from the shadows for who knew how long.
Including Hyuga Sho and Hyuga Mami.
And Shizune, who had barely crawled out of the ruins...
"Snort, snort..."
Finally, the little pig Tonton ran to Hyuga Mami's feet.
They all looked over at the same place.
After a moment.
A figure seemed to appear within the dark space.
The figure slowly walked out.
She stood alone in front of the Box
