Chapter 113: A Letter from Yagura
Apart from training the three youngsters daily, Yue Yan also took on some out - of - village missions to hone their actual combat abilities.
After finishing an out - of - village mission, Yue Yan and his group returned to Konoha and received a letter.
Looking at the pattern of a stick figure holding a ball of fire in one hand on it, Yue Yan knew who had written this letter.
He opened it, and sure enough, it was signed by Yagura.
After skimming through the delicate and regular handwriting on it, Yue Yan also understood the purpose of Yagura's letter to him.
After investigating in the Land of Grass, Yagura finally found some clues about the Box of Ultimate Bliss some time ago.
After thinking for a moment, Yue Yan decided to go there.
As shown in the movie, if enough chakra is poured into the Box of Ultimate Bliss, one's wish will be fulfilled, and then a monster named Wu will emerge.
Since it is the final boss in the movie, killing it should yield the top - tier treasure chest again.
Well, just thinking that there would be no teammates causing trouble this time, Yue Yan was extremely happy. He seemed to see Yveltal waving its paw at him.
After making the decision, Yue Yan gave the three youngsters a vacation. Then he casually took on a mission in the Land of Grass and left Konoha, heading for the meeting spot mentioned by Yagura in the letter.
In a town in the Land of Grass, Yagura was having lunch at a restaurant. The operation funds Yue Yan had given her before were almost used up. Fortunately, she finally found some clues about the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
Pouring herself a glass of sake and taking a sip, Yagura couldn't help complaining.
"That big kitty! He hasn't contacted me for ages. Has he forgotten about me? I've been helping him search for that thing all along."
"It's not good to speak ill of others behind their backs."
The sudden words startled Yagura. Just as she was about to attack instinctively, she realized how familiar the voice was.
After coming to her senses, she took a sip of sake and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
After Yue Yan sat across from her, she also started to complain, "I'd say the same thing even in front of you."
After saying that, Yagura stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yue Yan.
"I've spent all the money you gave me before. Give me some more."
"Good grief! After all this time apart, not even a single greeting. You just come straight for the money."
Although Yue Yan was complaining, he still took out a Scroll of Seals with money sealed in it and handed it to Yagura.
After receiving it, Yagura didn't even look at how much was inside and just stuffed it into her bosom.
"What do you mean by coming straight for the money? This is the commission fee, okay."
Not wanting to waste time arguing with Yagura about this, Yue Yan waved his hand.
"You found some clues about the Box of Ultimate Bliss, right? Tell me the details."
Seeing that the topic turned to the main business, Yagura also became serious.
"According to my investigation in the Land of Grass, many people there believe in the existence of the Box of Ultimate Bliss. Some ninjas from the Grass ninja village even pin their hopes on it for revitalizing the village and catching up with the five major ninja villages. Then I learned from the grass ninjas that the Box of Ultimate Bliss is located in a prison in the Land of Grass. I don't know any more specific information."
After saying that, Yagura shrugged.
"Although the Grass ninja village is just a small ninja village, and I'm quite confident in my own strength, I'm not capable of taking on an entire village by myself. If you want to know which prison the Box of Ultimate Bliss is in, you'll have to find the high - ups of the Grass ninja village. Maybe they know something."
After listening, Yue Yan nodded.
"Do you know how many prisons there are in the Land of Grass?"
Yagura, guessing what Yue Yan was up to, couldn't help frowning.
"There are over a hundred prisons in the Land of Grass, big and small. If you want to search them one by one, it's okay. It's actually easier than finding the high - ups of the Grass ninja village, but it'll take a long time. Well, it should take at least a year to find it. Maybe four or five years."
"I don't have that much time." Yue Yan immediately gave up after hearing that. After all, there was still a long time until the events of the original story, and he didn't know if that Mui from the movie was the lord of the Hohozuki Castle now. Therefore, it was simpler to find the high - ups of the Grass ninja village.
"Let's go after eating. We're going to the Grass ninja village."
"What?"
Yagura blinked, looking confused, and pointed at herself in disbelief.
"You're joking, right? You want to take on an entire village? But don't drag me into your suicide mission."
Yagura knew Yue Yan was strong. Otherwise, he couldn't have gotten the name Golden Thunder Beast. However, there was always a limit to one's strength. In the face of the human - wave tactic, even the powerful Third Raikage ended up being worn down to death.
Seeing that Yagura didn't believe in his strength, Yue Yan sneered disdainfully.
"I don't even put the Grass ninja village in my eyes. You don't have to do anything then. I'll handle it myself."
Yagura looked at Yue Yan suspiciously. Seeing that his expression was normal, she had to believe him for the time being.
"Let's get one thing straight first. I won't help if you can't handle it."
"Okay."
After night fell, Yue Yan and Yagura arrived at the outskirts of the Grass ninja village.
Although Yue Yan didn't put the Grass ninja village in his eyes, it wouldn't be good to start killing recklessly. It would bring him a lot of trouble, and Yue Yan didn't like trouble. So he needed a reason, a reasonable reason to start killing.
Considering the current time, a member of the Uzumaki Clan who had ended up in the Grass ninja village would be a good reason.
Yue Yan closed his eyes, activated the Sannin Mode, and used the perception of Senji to cover the entire Grass ninja village.
After searching for a moment, Yue Yan looked in a distant direction. In his perception, there was an individual with extremely large life force and chakra over there.
After finding the target, Yue Yan set off immediately.
The individual Yue Yan perceived through his perception was none other than Karin's Mother, Uzumaki Orihime. After the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, Uzumaki Orihime ended up in the Grass ninja village. With her ability to heal with physical energy, she was treated as a mobile medical kit by the Grass ninja village, using her life force and chakra to treat the injured ninjas in the village.
Recalling Karin's appearance full of bite marks in the original story, one could easily imagine Uzumaki Orihime's current situation.
Both Yue Yan and Yagura were highly skilled in Concealment. Without alerting any of the grass ninjas, they arrived at the place where Uzumaki Orihime was.
When they saw the shabby and extremely dilapidated house in front of them, Yagura couldn't help but frown. She didn't understand why Yue Yan had come to such a place. It didn't look like the residence of the high - ups in the Grass ninja village.
After following Yue Yan inside, Yagura saw four or five grass ninjas in the room. They were surrounding a pregnant woman.
Those grass ninjas were grinning evilly as they bit on the woman's arms and Sukune. As they swallowed the woman's blood full of life force, their faces showed expressions of pleasure.
This made Yagura, who was also a woman, frown deeply. Just as she was about to ask Yue Yan what to do next, she saw his face turn gloomy.
"These guys are a bunch of beasts, even worse than animals!"
