-------------------------------------------------------------
The news of the riot at the Great Prison of Hōzuki Castle quickly spread to all the major ninja villages.
Without Mu Wei's Celestial Prison Technique to suppress them, the prisoners regained their chakra. Despite Kusagakure dispatching a large number of ninjas to manage the prison, they could only rely on the violent whirlpools nearby to barely contain most of the prisoners on the island.
Several powerful prisoners had already disappeared without a trace.
Facing this situation, Kusagakure had no choice but to send out a request for assistance to the major ninja villages.
As a result, intelligence about Kaito was formally brought to the attention of all major ninja villages for the first time.
Although the news of Kaito causing trouble in Konoha had already spread through spies, it didn't provoke much reaction because neither Kaito nor his allies had shown overwhelming strength.
This time, however, was entirely different.
Given the circumstances, Kusagakure also made information about Box of Ultimate Bliss public. Along with the guards' accounts from Hōzuki Castle, this drew significant attention from across the ninja world.
A lone individual had infiltrated Hōzuki Castle, opened Box of Ultimate Bliss by himself, easily defeated the demons that emerged, and left unscathed.
The power Kaito demonstrated in this incident was enough to draw serious attention from the major ninja villages.
Upon receiving the news, the leaders of the Five Great Ninja Villages summoned their trusted aides for secret discussions and subsequently dispatched reinforcements to Hōzuki Castle.
Konoha sent Hatake Kakashi and Yamato; Kumogakure sent Samui and Omoi; Iwagakure sent Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi; Sunagakure sent Maki and Kankuro; Kirigakure sent Ao and Chojuro.
In no time, elite ninjas from the Five Great Ninja Villages gathered at Hōzuki Castle.
With the arrival of these elite ninjas, the prisoner riot was swiftly and thoroughly suppressed.
Thereafter, the representatives from the major ninja villages began exchanging opinions.
Samui from Kumogakure was the first to voice her displeasure: "I must say, the trouble caused by Konoha is excessive."
Kurotsuchi from Iwagakure added, "I only want to know, where did this Uchiha who attacked Hōzuki Castle come from?"
Ao from Kirigakure quickly supported this: "Indeed, Konoha should provide an explanation for this."
Maki from Sunagakure, due to the current alliance between his village and Konoha, did not join the others in their criticism, but he did not defend Konoha either and remained silent.
Kakashi exchanged a helpless glance with Yamato.
Feeling the aggressive stares from the others, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
'I knew this would be a troublesome task.'
In the end, he had no choice but to explain: "The man who attacked Hōzuki Castle is named Uchiha Kaito. However, I must state on behalf of Konoha that Uchiha Kaito left Konoha ten years ago and has never been an active ninja of Konoha since."
"That's an excuse!" Samui's face was cold.
Kurotsuchi disagreed: "The Uchiha clan is part of Konoha."
"Konoha must take responsibility," Ao said bluntly.
Maki still did not express his opinion.
Kakashi, feeling a headache, tried to steer the conversation: "The most important thing now is whether we need to track Uchiha Kaito's whereabouts."
"Hmph." Samui gave Kakashi a cold look but didn't argue further. Instead, she continued along his line of thinking: "We must understand his movements. The Bliss Box is too dangerous to fall into such a person's hands."
"Agreed, if an Uchiha possesses Box of Ultimate Bliss, it could threaten the entire ninja world."
"Based on the information, that person is powerful. Seizing Box of Ultimate Bliss this time, is he planning something?"
"For the stability of the ninja world, we must gather more information."
This time, even Maki joined the discussion.
Kakashi understood clearly that the attitudes of these people indicated that the major ninja villages were now interested in Box of Ultimate Bliss.
However, since he also wanted to find Kaito to clarify some things, he agreed to the tracking mission.
---
For now, Kaito wasn't concerned about the consequences of his actions.
At this moment, Gurē had flown across the vast sea and landed on an uninhabited deserted island.
Kaito walked around the island and finally stopped in a canyon between two high mountains, where he began preparing for the initial purification of Box of Ultimate Bliss.
As he chanted spells to communicate with Ryūmyaku, the ground before him began to move, eventually spitting out a large box tightly bound by golden chains.
"The filth inside the box is overwhelming. To avoid your demon power being contaminated, you should stay far away, Gurē." Kaito gestured to Gurē.
Having witnessed the malice emanating from the box from afar at Hōzuki Castle, Gurē knew its danger. Obediently, he transformed back into his original form and flew to the other side of the island.
After Gurē left, Kaito began arranging the magic formation.
He walked around Box of Ultimate Bliss several times, constantly casting talismans from his hands and placing them on the ground as he had planned.
Then, he knelt on one knee and placed both hands on the ground.
Ryūmyaku chains binding Box of Ultimate Bliss sprang up and quickly retracted into the ground.
Freed from its restraints, Box of Ultimate Bliss began to tremble violently. The ghost faces on its four sides fell off, revealing four beast head carvings that opened their mouths wide.
Massive amounts of black mist surged out from the huge beast mouths. Faces with ferocious expressions appeared on the surface of the mist, roaring piercingly at Kaito.
Kaito swiftly formed hand seals, chanting the nine-word mantra.
"Rin, Pyō, Tō, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!"
The talismans arranged on the ground began to glow slightly, and blue light traced out lines connecting the talismans.
The light grew brighter and a complex magic formation quickly took shape, trapping all the black mist within it.
The black mist roiled more violently, the fierce faces continually crashing against the edges of the formation.
Kaito took a blood-red Higanbana (red spider lily) from his sleeve and tossed it into the air.
"Miss Kaori, please lend me your strength!"
The Higanbana emitted a burst of red light, and a translucent girl in a red dress appeared in the air.
She didn't speak, merely glancing at the black mist emerging from Box of Ultimate Bliss, then nodded slightly at Kaito before disappearing.
The Higanbana accelerated through the magic formation, swiftly descending and embedding its stem into the soil near Box of Ultimate Bliss.
"Manjusaka, Yomi Purification Formation!"
With a soft shout from Kaito, the red light from the Higanbana rapidly spread, and a large number of red spider lilies bloomed rapidly around Box of Ultimate Bliss.
Screams echoed, and the black mist was continuously absorbed by the red spider lilies, rolling and retreating back into Box of Ultimate Bliss.
