Hozuki Castle, a city built on an island. It is said to be a city, but in fact it is more like a huge castle.
Carriage pulled Tetsuya to the pier, switched to a boat and took Tetsuya to the island. As soon as he landed on the island, Tetsuya discovered that the island was much larger than what he had seen before.
After getting off the boat, Tetsuya saw several people in uniforms and a sedan chair.
"It's Mr. Chiba Tetsuya, right?"
"That's right, it's me. You guys are from Hozuki Castle, right?"
Tetsuya looked at these people in uniforms. The clothes these guys wore did not look like the clothes Shinobi World should have at all, but more like the clothes that the prison guards in One Piece would wear.
"Yes, Mr. Tetsuya, our city lord has been waiting for your arrival for a long time. He specially asked us to pick you up. Please also ask Mr. Tetsuya to get on the sedan. We will set off for Hozuki Castle now."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Tetsuya smiled and calmly got on the sedan that was obviously transformed from a prison cage.
I have to say that the scenery outside Hozuki Castle is pretty good. There are plants called ghost lanterns growing all over the mountains and plains. These plants have orange-yellow fruits and look like little lanterns.
He heard Kakuzu say that these ghost lantern fruits can be eaten normally, but if you eat the white fruits, your whole body will be paralyzed, and it will take at least a day to recover. Generally, when Hozuki Castle prisoners don't want to work, they will eat the white fruits to escape from work.
The sedan moved forward and soon arrived at Hozuki Castle.
The domineering and majestic gate slowly opened, and two teams of jailers walked out in unison, lining up on both sides of the city gate.
The sedan stopped, and Tetsuya walked out of the sedan.
"Congratulations, please invite the Lord of the City!"
After giving the order, all the jailers saluted in unison.
Mui, followed by a group of people, made a full appearance.
"Chiba President has traveled thousands of miles to come here. It is really an honor for me."
Tetsuya said with a cheerful smile.
"Hahahaha, no matter where you are, I am very excited to be able to come to Hozuki Castle.
By the way, Daimyo has arrived first, why didn't I see Daimyo?"
When Tetsuya mentioned Daimyo, there was no emotion on Mui's face.
"Daimyo is waiting for President Chiba in the city. Please ask President Chiba to come with me into the city."
He just opened his mouth and said, Daimyo of the Land of Grass, that old boy, didn't even come out of the Daimyo's Mansion, how could he be in Hozuki Castle.
But it doesn't matter, he is here to flip the table anyway.
"It's easy to say. Please ask Mui City Master to lead the way."
Mui looked at Tetsuya and couldn't help but smile. He walked in front and led Tetsuya into Hozuki Castle.
As soon as we entered the city, the heavy door behind us slammed shut.
If it were an ordinary person, the door would be closed, and entering this Hozuki Castle would probably be impossible to escape.
Mui, who was walking in front, said.
"I'm afraid President Chiba doesn't know where I am Hozuki Castle."
"Of course I know, Shinobi World is a famous prison, where all major Shinobi Village criminals are imprisoned, and Mui City Lord, you, as a member of the Heavenly Prison Clan, have mastered it Fire Release·Tianlao, all prisoners who enter this Hozuki Castle will be imprinted with the mark of Fire Release·Tianlao to restrict their Chakra and prevent them from escaping.
Do you think what I said is right? Mui City Lord."
Mui looked back at Tetsuya in surprise.
"You actually know everything? Then why do you come to Hozuki Castle?"
Tetsuya smiled calmly.
"I was invited by Daimyo to come to Hozuki Castle to play. I'm not a prisoner, so why don't I dare to come? And I'm not Ninja. Could it be that the Mui City Master uses Fire Release·Tianlao on me?"
Saying Tetsuya directly opened his arms.
"Then Mui City Lord, please invite me. I come here with sincerity to travel and discuss cooperation. If the City Lord insists that I accept the mark of Tianlao before we can have a good discussion, then I have no choice but to accept it."
Seeing such candor, Mui laughed.
"Hahaha, I have to say that President Chiba is so brave. You are right, President Chiba is not a prisoner. How could I use the Heavenly Prison technique on President Chiba."
"Isn't that right? I'm not a prisoner, I'm a guest."
"Hahaha, that's right, please, President Chiba, I will take you around this Hozuki Castle."
At the invitation of Mui, Tetsuya entered the prison area of Hozuki Castle.
Mui led Mui to see criminals from various Shinobi Village. The charges of these criminals sounded more heinous than the last.
But in fact, they are just a group of guys with no reputation.
It is simply impossible for Ninja, which is truly powerful and has some special characteristics, to be handed over by the major Shinobi Village.
Not only this Shinobi World, but also these Ninja who have special skills are also a resource to a certain extent, especially Ninja who has special Kekkei Genkai, not to mention.
And some powerful Rogue Ninja, Hozuki Castle can't stop them, just like Kakuzu.
Even the reason why Kakuzu was imprisoned in Hozuki Castle back then was because one of his hunting targets was imprisoned in Hozuki Castle, and he came in to take that guy's head and exchange it for money.
"These prisoners are nothing to look at. I heard that among Hozuki Castle there is a Box of Ultimate Bliss that can grant people's wishes. Is this true?"
"Haha, I didn't expect President Chiba to even know this."
Mui laughed twice.
"Box of Ultimate Bliss does exist, but it is just an antique passed down from a long time ago by our Heavenly Prison Clan. It does not have any power."
"Oh, is that so?"
Tetsuya suddenly asked while pinching his chin.
"Mui City Lord, do you have a child?"
Mui was confused by Tetsuya's question. No, why did he suddenly jump to such a personal question?
"Not yet, I'm not married yet."
"That's it, I understand."
Hearing Mui's answer, Tetsuya nodded.
He is not married yet, which means that his son Muku has not been born yet, and this guy has not yet gone crazy with the broken box.
He remembered that in the movie version, this old boy flipped the box around until he went crazy and killed his son. In order to resurrect his son, he grabbed people everywhere and fed Chakra to the box, and a monster was resurrected.
Seeing Tetsuya looking thoughtful, Mui couldn't guess what Tetsuya was thinking, but at this point, he didn't plan to guess anymore.
"President Chiba, let's talk about cooperation now."
"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation are you talking about? Daimyo didn't come, so what's there to talk about?"
"Haha, I came to negotiate with you on the order of Daimyo. Now we, Land of Grass, are going to add one more item on top of the extra 50% we requested before."
"More more?"
Tetsuya is happy.
"More? What else do you want?"
"We Land of Grass want 20% of your Chiba Commerce Association shares."
"No, how dare you ask for 20% of the shares? Hanzo of the Salamander didn't ask me for shares, and our Land of Fire and Daimyo didn't ask me for shares. Why do you Land of Grass?"
Seeing Tetsuya's confused look, Mui smiled with satisfaction.
"Why? Just because you are on my territory now."
Mui waved his hand, and a group of people shrouded in robes and wearing zodiac masks appeared and blocked the way forward and backward.
"If you don't agree, you may have to live with me for a while."
