Chapter 489
In mid-air.
The afterimage transformed into more than a dozen stalking fire rats, which pounced on the five people at an incredible speed.
"Grass Shadow Style... Explosive Palm!"
Wuwei swiftly waved his hand.
It shattered the Fire Rat Ball, which was formed from Dark Chakra.
The four cadres also displayed their unique abilities, each managing to fend off the Yugito's attacks.
But Yugito seized the opportunity to leap to the side, then knelt on one knee, panting heavily.
"You bastards!"
Yugito had stumbled upon the secret, gritted her teeth in fury.
I never imagined that such evil was hidden in Hozuki Castle!
"Same here," Wuwei said calmly. "Don't you Kumogakure also frequently plunder various bloodlines? It's no different from what we do. And according to your Kumogakure's theory, the reason you're here is because you're too weak."
"..."
Yugito was speechless for a moment.
"Moreover," Wuwei looked at the stone gate behind him, a purplish-black aura surging, and the stone gate slowly opened its eyes, revealing a strange smile, "You imbued the stone gate with all its emotions... The stone gate responded to your emotions, but it's too late."
If you want to stop it.
Rumble...!!
Just then, the stone gate began to shake.
No, that's not the stone gate.
The fallen stones revealed the true form of the stone gate.
It was a huge box.
At this moment, the box, which is over 4 meters in diameter, is rising with a rumbling sound.
"Soon, it will float to the surface..."
"My long-held ambition is finally about to be realized!"
The four cadres shouted enthusiastically.
Amidst the tremors, Yugito watched this scene unfold, completely bewildered.
And just then...
Neji and Ryuzetsu rushed in.
"Who goes there?!"
The four cadres were startled to realize this.
"Take them down!" Neji said coldly.
The conspiracy of the four cadres will be slowly pried out of their mouths after they are overthrown!
Defeat?
The four cadres seemed to have heard something amusing.
"Wuwei, the box is yours now."
With a wave of their hands, the four cadres instructed Wuwei to chase after the box, thus realizing the ambition of the Kusagakure Village to conquer the world.
"Clear."
Wuwei leaped up, jumped onto the box, and floated towards the surface with it...
In the vast underground space, a battle is about to erupt.
I heard a rumbling sound from the ground.
The prisoners and guards all ran out.
They were somewhat bewildered when they saw the box that had appeared on the ground.
His expression became even more puzzled when he saw Wuwei jump down from above.
At this moment, dark clouds covered the distant horizon.
At the early hours of the morning, the sky was unusually bleak.
Wuwei looked at the open box.
I took a deep breath.
My mind is filled with the image of my son, Muku.
He raised his son alone after his wife died.
Because Kusagakure has always been suppressed by the Five Great Nations.
The son was only able to eat his first bowl of ramen before he died.
"Muku..."
Wuwei murmured his son's name.
The reason why Muku is able to eat ramen is because he was chosen as the material to fill the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
That was the day.
For the first time, the father and son shared a bowl of ramen together.
That was also that day.
She herself lost her Muku.
And now.
"The Box of Ultimate Bliss."
Wuwei made up his mind.
The future of Kusagakure, conquering the world—these are things I don't want at all.
The only thing I want to achieve is to see Muku again!
"Tsk, so things turned out this way."
Malloy, sporting a mohawk, had his hands in his pockets.
Staring at the center of the square.
He was sent here by the Lord Raikage as a spy for Kumogakure.
For years, Malloy has been an accomplice to inaction while quietly investigating the truth.
Ultimately, it was discovered that Wuwei was still lacking something, which would allow him to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
Yugito was also sent over because of this.
"Then, Lord Raikage and the others should be arriving by now."
Malloy's gaze passed over the city walls and looked into the distance.
Please give me my--
The words of non-action were left unsaid.
!
A flash of light suddenly streaked across the sky.
The platinum beam of light flashed and disappeared.
Then, the deafening roar of the explosion reached everyone's ears.
The next second.
A figure dressed in a black trench coat descended from the sky and landed on the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
410. Chickens pecking at each other
The unexpected arrival of the guest left Wuwei stunned and frozen in place.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Amegakure Emperor, he was somewhat at a loss.
"What's wrong? Keep going."
The Akito stood atop the Box of Ultimate Bliss and spoke to Wuwei.
You can continue, don't worry about me.
"My wish..."
After a moment of silence, Wuwei continued shouting.
"Please, let me see my son, Muku!"
They possess the bloodline of the Tomori clan; only this bloodline can respond to the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
At present, Wuwei has no ambitions such as conquering the ninja world.
Instead, she wanted to see her son, who had disappeared for 10 years.
Immediately afterwards, all four faces in the Box of Ultimate Bliss fell silent.
The smiling face of Lezhi opened its eyes and slowly opened its mouth wide.
"!"
Wuwei's eyes widened.
Because a figure emerged from that giant mouth.
The figure slowly walked out and stood there.
"Muku..."
Although they hadn't seen each other for 10 years, Wuwei still remembered what the child looked like.
At this moment, Muku has clearly grown into an adult compared to 10 years ago.
"..."
The young man known as Muku stood on the ground, stepping onto the prison floor, his face still somewhat bewildered.
Upon seeing her son, Wuwei immediately burst into tears.
"So the box really can grant wishes..." Malloy exclaimed from a distance.
Then.
Wuwei reached out his arms, wanting to hug his son. "I'm sorry, Muku, I was wrong. If you can forgive me..."
The bewildered face stopped looking around, and a glimmer of light appeared in Muku's eyes. "Father."
The father and son ran towards each other.
However, from the Akito's perspective, they clearly saw Muku extend his hand and stab Wu Wei fiercely.
The next moment.
Muku will pierce Wuwei's body, thus completing the act of patricide.
Boom!!
With a loud bang.
A transparent stream of air swept across the area.
Muku was originally planning to attack, suddenly leaped away from his original spot, as if he had anticipated the attack from the Akito.
Akito, still in his punching stance, stared at the scene, comparing its similarities and differences with the theatrical anime version.
"Muku?!" Wu Wei stopped moving, clearly having also noticed the abnormality in the former.
"Yes, Father, you are wrong."
