Minako Uzumaki Sometimes Even Wanted to Recreate It

Not intending to engage in the old man's usual questioning, Uchiha Takeyasu, who only remembered the general plot, Sharingan, then found a quiet place to eat lunch prepared by the merchant group with Minamoto Kaori, who was petting the Minamoto Kaori Nilgiri, while listening to the old man recount information about the Gelel Stone.

The story goes back a thousand years, to an era before Ninshu and Chakra existed.

People back then discovered an incredible mineral vein. The elder's ancestors smelted and crystallized it, naming this crystal, which contained powerful life force, the Gelel Stone.

Through the ever-growing number of Gelel Stone, our ancestors built a glorious empire on this continent.

They created wells that never run dry, livestock that grow overnight, crops that bear fruit continuously, and even research on preventing biological decay.

But this period of prosperity was short-lived; the powerful force that brought happiness to the people of the empire turned into a great disaster.

Driven by the power of the Gelel Stone, insatiable humanity began to fight and kill each other. The earth-shattering war destroyed the empire, leaving only a small number of young people to survive.

To avoid repeating the same mistake, the ancestors sealed the Gelel Stone veins deep underground. Some members of the royal family sailed across the seas and left the continent, while others became the traveling merchant group to which the old man now belongs.

Only the original royal bloodline could resonate with the Gelel Stone and merge into the body.

"Am I royalty?"

Minamoto Kaori, who had been listening intently to the old man's words as if they were a story, blinked her big eyes and even stopped stroking the ferret Nilgiri.

"Yes, Princess Kaori, you inherited the bloodline of the royal family."

The old man said respectfully, "The Nilgiri, who once lived in the royal courtyard, was so close to you is proof of this."

"Huh?"

Minamoto Kaori looked down at the small creature in her arms and asked incredulously, "How long has Nilgiri lived?"

"It's probably the Gelel Stone it's wearing that's working."

"Such immense life energy, wow!"

Uchiha Takeyasu took the Gelel Stone and experimented with it, discovering that this life energy was extremely exclusive. After a moment's thought, he handed the Gelel Stone to Minamoto Kaori.

"Darling, aren't you going to use it?"

"This might not be suitable for the ninja system. Besides, isn't there an entire mine?"

After ruffling the girl's hair, Uchiha Takeyasu picked up Minamoto Kaori and got up. They were still some distance from the mine, and the sun was setting.

Having no intention of spending the night in the wilderness, Uchiha Takeyasu arranged for the Two-Tails to escort the old man to the mine, and took Minamoto Kaori to the Land of Hot Water.

Warm spring water combined with a gentle young woman—that's the true essence of a hot spring.

In the Senju Clan Compound, looking at the Kusagakure ninja representative kneeling on the ground, Mito Uzumaki Uzumaki's phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent, and waves of anger rose within her heart. Her voice was icy cold.

"In your Hozuki Castle, Moriki willingly rushed into the Box of Paradise, a Box of Paradise from which no living person has ever emerged before?"

"As his mother, how could I not have known he had the guts!"

A chilling killing intent enveloped him, Munemitsu Hozuki Castle, feeling as if he would die at any moment, immediately said, "Mito-sama, it's absolutely true!"

"If you don't believe me, you can arrange for someone to search my memories. If there's even the slightest discrepancy between the truth and reality, the entire Kusagakure is willing to die for Moriki-kun!"

Sitting in the first seat, Mito Uzumaki felt a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. Her immense Chakra transformed into simple wind pressure, and she knocked out all the ninjas from the Kusagakure with a single palm strike.

"Summon the Yamanaka Clan here and thoroughly search their memories!"

The servants inside the house left the clan's territory and hurriedly headed to the Yamanaka Clan's location. Mito Uzumaki looked at Minako Uzumaki, who remained silent beside her, and the two women, mother and daughter-in-law, exchanged speechless glances.

After a long pause, Minako Uzumaki said softly.

"Mito-sama, according to the Kusagakure, no one who enters the Box of Paradise has ever come out, but the Box of Paradise can grant any wish, so all we need to do is open the Box of Paradise completely."

Minako Uzumaki didn't care about Senju Moriki's life or death, but she always felt a unique thrill whenever Uchiha Takeyasu called her "Mrs. Minako" in her ear.

Especially that night, Minako Uzumaki sometimes wanted to recreate it.

For example: Prison! A married woman separated by just one wall, her days filled with unbearable shyness!

"Opening the Box of Paradise requires a massive amount of Chakra, and the Hokage-sama has decided to entrust the Seven-Tails to you. I'll need you to make a trip to Hozuki Castle then."

"Should we inform the Hokage-sama? After all, Jinchuriki leaving the village violates the village rules."

"I'll find some time to speak with the Hokage-sama privately and ask when you plan to become the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"The Amber Purifying Pot that sealed the Seven-Tails fox is in my hands. I will begin tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it then."

"Mito-sama, Minako alone can seal the Seven-Tails."

Minako Uzumaki paused, a glint of something in her eyes, and continued, "The Seven-Tails was captured by the Hokage-sama. I'll ask him to make a trip there; it'll be easier for him to use his Mangekyo to Hokage-sama the Tailed Beast."

"That's true."

Thinking of the incredibly docile Nine-Tails within her own body, Mito Uzumaki agreed to Minako Uzumaki's plan. Since the other party already possessed the Eternal Mangekyo, she couldn't stop her if she really wanted to do something wicked.

"Let's not tell Tsunade about this yet. Let's talk about it after the Box of Paradise incident is over."

"Mito-sama, I understand."

As the two exchanged words, the current Clan Head of the Yamanaka Clan, who possessed only the strength of Elite Jonin, arrived at the scene, led by a servant.

Under Mito Uzumaki's watchful eye, the memory search was completed, and the information he provided was almost identical to what the Kusagakure had told them.

"Mito-sama, that's all the information we have regarding the Box of Paradise."

"Thank you, Clan Head of the Yamanaka."

"Mito-sama, you're too kind. I'll take my leave now."

After the Yamanaka Clan Head left, Mito Uzumaki Kusagakure ninjas woken up, set a date for their journey to Hozuki Castle, and then dismissed Munemitsu and the others.

I hope everything goes well.

Mito Uzumaki sighed, Minako Uzumaki stood up to comfort her.

With the moon high in the sky, Konoha was already silent.

A sound of excited pleasure rang out from a bedroom in the Senju Clan Compound, which had been placed under a soundproof barrier.

Sweating profusely, Minako Uzumaki collapsed limply, her azure eyes misting over as she gazed longingly at Uchiha Takeyasu behind her.

"I'll come over tomorrow to seal the Seven-Tails. Also, the Box of Paradise..."

Uchiha Takeyasu, who had his arm Minako Uzumaki's slender waist and was savoring the difference between a young woman and a girl, let out a mocking laugh.

"That thing isn't a wish-granting machine; it's a ninja tool used by the Sage of Six Paths —a pure Combat Ninja tool."

"Born of enlightenment, moving with enlightenment, and ending with enlightenment, the box contains only destruction and fear. Anyone who enters will be transformed into a monster called [Enlightenment]."

"Senju Moriki is finished."

At this point, Uchiha Takeyasu pinched the young woman's ample bosom and teased, "My wife Minako is going to be a widow now."

"Does Take-san prefer married women or widows?"

On that enchanting night, Uchiha Takeyasu gained a profound understanding of the beauty of being a widow.
