Chapter 487
"Pfft!"
The prisoner coughed up blood on the spot, clutched his heart, staggered backward, and immediately died.
Then, he faced an attack from all three sides.
Neji displayed superb Taijutsu amidst the crowd.
After a spinning motion, the three were sent flying, crashing into and smashing many things.
"Sharp..."
Yugito observed his skills and compared them.
He realized that even he himself wouldn't be a match for him if he were unarmed.
This level of Taijutsu, and the fact that he's blind... that's quite interesting.
Exclamations rang out in the restaurant.
Soon, things became even more chaotic.
In this chaotic environment, Neji easily avoided the onlookers.
She took her tray to a corner and ate alone.
Soon after, Neji was arrested by the guards and put into solitary confinement, where he was held for three days.
In that somber environment, he could only keep company with the darkness.
Because of this riot, all the prisoners in the jail remembered him...
When the "Fire Release: Heavenly Prison" technique is imprinted on the body, one cannot use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.
This kind of Taijutsu will undoubtedly make one invincible.
Once this is understood, no one will ever want to cause trouble for Neji.
Three days passed peacefully like this.
Neji was released.
He walked out of the solitary confinement cell, but no prisoner dared to mess with this newcomer.
Neji calmly returned to his cell, feeling utterly bored.
Just then, a figure walked in.
It was a woman wearing a green headscarf...
Although she was disguised as a man, Neji saw through her gender at a glance.
"You are... a ninja from Amegakure, aren't you?"
The woman tried to speak.
My name is Dragon Tongue.
Because the Caged Bird Seal was removed, and its eyes were gone, plus it had been "missing" for 4 years.
Almost no one would recognize Neji.
Therefore... Ryusei did not connect the young man in front of him with Hyuga Neji Hyuga, who had disappeared from Konoha long ago.
"Let me be frank, you came in with a purpose, didn't you?"
Dragon Tongue asked.
"Your Amegakure clearly has its own prison, yet you still sent you here. This can only mean that... you Amegakure are also coveting that box?"
"..."
Neji silent and ignored her.
"I am a member of the 'Anbu of Grass', an ANBU operative from Kusagakure..."
Longshe added more information about her.
There are two factions in Kusagakure.
The hawkish faction's core strength lies in its inaction and the presence of four key cadres.
The Grass Flower of the Dove Faction.
The people of the Grass Flower believe that the Box of Ultimate Bliss will bring destruction, so it must not be opened.
The four executives, however, believed that they should make use of the box to conquer the ninja world and achieve the same level of prosperity as 1,000 years ago.
Do you think it's wrong to "want" to open the box?
Neji asked.
"If it weren't for the Five Great Nations bullying the Land of Grass, how could the four executives have come up with such thoughts?"
It was precisely because the Land of Grass had been driven to a dead end.
Only the four executives who led Kusagakure chose to try to open the box.
No, you're wrong.
Dragon Tongue shook his head.
"They keep saying they're doing it for the village, but it's really for their own selfish interests..."
"So what? Sinful soil breeds sinful people. If the current four executives die, but Kusagakure remains unchanged, then a new four executives will emerge," Neji calmly retorted.
The problem is not being addressed at its root.
Just dealing with the person who raised the question, huh...
Neji sneered.
"Whether it is the fruit of the grass or the flower of the grass, your paths are all wrong."
"Then tell me, what is right?!" Dragon's Tongue Fire suddenly erupted.
You're right, so say it.
"What is right?"
Neji murmured slowly and deliberately.
"Of course..."
As long as they join our Land of Rain Pan-Alliance, the Land of Grass will naturally be transformed! They will never be bullied by anyone again!
408. Akito: Rescue by the Yugito
7 days until the destruction of Konoha.
Late that night.
Dark clouds drifted across the sky.
Yugito is sleeping in his prison cell.
Neji sat cross-legged on the prison bed as usual.
" By Yugito."
The guard captain, Donggua, arrived with his men and woke up Yugito.
"Come with us."
The men who appeared in the cell put shackles on Yugito's hands, and then led her outside.
The prison was quiet in the darkness of night.
The only sound was the crackling of the brazier.
Soon, Yugito left his prison cell and went to the "office building" where Muwei was located.
That is, the tall building called "Tenshukaku".
"What brings you here?"
Yugito stood at the entrance of the castle tower, gazing up at the tall building.
"It's nothing, Lord Wuwei wants to see you. He has something to say to you."
Winter Melon stopped and exchanged meaningful smiles with the guards.
They watched Yugito entered the building alone, then stood guard at the entrance, preventing anyone else from approaching.
The Yugito proceeded forward and soon arrived at Wuwei's office.
The door was ajar.
The office is decorated very luxuriously.
This stands in stark contrast to the poverty of Kusagakure.
The Hozuki Castle is a project of the Five Great Nations, which is labor-intensive and costly. Kusagakure has no choice in his actions, this kind of contrasting phenomenon naturally occurs.
"You've arrived."
Wuwei sat behind his desk.
He slowly rose and gazed at Yugito.
"Four officers, you may begin."
Yugito: "!"
In the blink of an eye, four figures appeared around Yugito.
They wore headgear shaped Ox-Head, Horse-Face, dog's head, and sheep's head.
They appear in public as masked figures.
These are the four highest leaders of Kusagakure.
"Imprisonment!"
All four of them simultaneously extended their fingers towards the Yugito.
An invisible Chakra swept across the scene, Yugito instantly felt himself being restrained by a force.
Yugito: "Hmm..."
"You can't move, can you?"
"And he probably can't speak either."
"Hehe, when it comes to the art of binding techniques, no one can surpass us from Kusagakure."
"That's precisely why we were chosen by the Five Great Nations to be the guards of prisoners."
The four cadres couldn't help but chuckle.
Truly worthy of the name "wuwei" (non-action).
Using the ever-changing volcano, they created the illusion that the Yugito had attacked a foreign political figure.
This allowed the main character to be successfully sent to Hozuki Castle.
Next, all we need to do is extract her Chakra and successfully open the box.
"The world belongs to the four of us! Hahahaha!!!"
A shrill voice echoed in my ears.
The Yugito figure struggled desperately, but could do nothing.
Taijutsu cannot be used due to the power of the binding spell.
She tried to activate her Chakra, but the Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Technique lit up, and the burning pain in her meridians made her break out in a cold sweat.
"Take her away."
The indifferent, detached voice announced the arrival of some kind of finality.
