Chapter 115: Clues to the Box of Ultimate Bliss

Chapter 115: Clues to the Box of Ultimate Bliss

Yue Yan glanced at Uzumaki Orihime, who was still wearing long sleeves in the hot summer. When the gentle breeze blew her sleeves, numerous wounds of different shallowness, which had long turned into scars, were still clearly visible.

 "A misunderstanding?"

 Yue Yan let out a cold laugh.

 "You should know that she's from the Uzumaki Clan, and the Uzumaki Clan has always been an ally of our Konoha, even to this day."

 Hearing this, the leader of the grass ninjas narrowed his pupils. He obviously understood what Yue Yan meant, but he still pretended to be calm and argued stubbornly.

 "Sir, I don't know what the Uzumaki Clan is. I only know that she's from our Grass ninja village. If you want to take her away, that's fine, but shouldn't you give a reasonable explanation for killing these ninjas from my village?"

 Hearing this nonsense, Yue Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

 "I'm too lazy to bullshit with you. You're not worth listening to the reason."

 The moment he finished speaking, Yue Yan rushed forward.

 Seeing this, the grass ninja leader stepped back with an ugly expression on his face while directing his subordinates to step forward and block Yue Yan.

 Watching Yue Yan Slaughtering Enemies on All Fronts in the crowd, the grass ninja leader couldn't help but grit his teeth. Could the Five Great Nations really be so willful? Could they just trample on their Grass ninja village at will?

 Although the grass ninja leader kept cursing in his heart and his face was full of venomous expressions, he was a very cowardly man.

 If he had shouted out what was in his heart and then rushed to fight Yue Yan at the front, Yue Yan might have thought more highly of him.

 However, at present, Yue Yan thought that he was just a disgusting maggot hiding in the dark, with neither strength nor courage. One more glance at him would make him feel sick to his stomach.

 As Yue Yan killed more and more grass ninjas, the grass ninja leader no longer cared about his inner resentment. He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible. Without being noticed by Yue Yan as much as possible, he inched backward step by step.

 And those grass ninjas who were still alive were so terrified by Yue Yan's massacre that they were paralyzed on the ground. They didn't even have the courage to run away. They could only tremble all over and pray in their hearts that they wouldn't be the next one Yue Yan killed.

 Seeing this, Yue Yan, not interested in attacking these scared - witless people, walked straight towards the grass ninja leader as he hadn't forgotten his real purpose for coming to the Grass ninja village.

 Seeing Yue Yan approaching him, the grass ninja leader was full of panic and immediately turned around and ran.

 However, he didn't run far when Yue Yan teleported in front of him. His golden claws grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.

 "Now, I'll ask and you'll answer. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, you'll become one of them in the next second."

 Looking in the direction Yue Yan was pointing, at the corpses in various death poses, the grass ninja leader nodded repeatedly, promising that he would tell everything he knew.

 Seeing this, Yue Yan nodded in satisfaction and released his claws.

Paying no heed to the leader of the grass ninjas, who was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, Yue Yan directly asked, "Tell me, where is the Box of Ultimate Bliss?"

Hearing Yue Yan mention the Box of Ultimate Bliss, which held the hopes of the entire Grass ninja village, the leader of the grass ninjas instinctively didn't want to answer. But being stared at coldly by Yue Yan's eyes, which were dyed golden by the [Lightning Bolt], he couldn't bring himself to defy him at all. With his lips trembling, he told Yue Yan all he knew.

"I... I don't know exactly where the Box of Ultimate Bliss is. But I know someone who does. His name is Wuwei. It was him who told me about the Box of Ultimate Bliss. He's currently in Hohozuki Castle, serving as the vice - lord of the castle."

After listening, Yue Yan couldn't help frowning. If he had known that Wuwei was in Hohozuki Castle, just as in the movie, then wasn't his trip to the Grass ninja village a waste of time?

As he thought this, out of the corner of his eye, Yue Yan noticed Uzumaki Orihime following Yagura.

Well, maybe it wasn't a total waste of time. At least he had averted a tragedy from the original story.

By the way, the condition for Wu to appear is that the Box of Ultimate Bliss grants a wish, and the condition for granting a wish is to input enough chakra into it.

In the original story, Wuwei didn't know how much chakra he'd depleted from so many people, but he still couldn't meet the condition for the Box of Ultimate Bliss to grant a wish. Eventually, he even sacrificed his own son. Then, in order to save his son, he planned to get the Jinchuriki of the Nine - Tailed Fox from Konoha imprisoned.

He just didn't know if his current chakra was enough.

Come to think of it, Wuwei was a bit crazy. At first, in order to revive the Grass ninja village, he sacrificed his own son to the Box of Ultimate Bliss. After losing his son, he realized that what he truly cared about wasn't the Grass ninja village, but his son.

This kind of behavior of not knowing what you've got until it's gone is really hard to describe without calling him an idiot.

Just as Yue Yan's thoughts started to wander, the old face of the leader of the grass ninjas forced out an obsequious smile.

"Um, sir, I've answered your question. Can I take my leave now?"

After saying that, he carefully observed Yue Yan's expression, afraid that the man in front of him, whom he considered a killing machine, would go back on his word.

Yes, in the eyes of the leader of the grass ninjas, Yue Yan, who had killed over a hundred of his men, was a killing machine. He never once thought that it was his group that had done such inhumane things as forcibly extracting Uzumaki Orihime's life force without her consent.

Yue Yan didn't even glance at the leader of the grass ninjas. He turned around and walked towards Yagura and Uzumaki Orihime.

Watching Yue Yan's back and seeing that he had deactivated Thunder Beast Mode, a flash of fierceness appeared in the leader of the grass ninjas' eyes for a moment. His right hand involuntarily reached into his ninja tool bags and tightly grasped a Kunai.

From this distance, if he launched a sneak attack right now, Yue Yan would surely die!

As soon as this thought came to mind, the scene of Yue Yan's massacre replaced it. This made him not have the courage to launch a sneak attack at all. He could only crawl up from the ground dejectedly and gather the remaining living grass ninjas to leave.

"I thought you'd kill him."

Hearing Yagura's words, Yue Yan curled his lips disdainfully.

"I gave him a chance to sneak attack, but he didn't have the guts. I'd feel dirty even killing a guy like that."

"You're right." Yagura shrugged. Although Yue Yan usually killed people by snapping their necks, a quick and relatively bloodless method, looking at the bodies lying around still made one feel sick.

"Forget it. Let's get out of here quickly."

"Yeah, it's getting late."

Saying that, Yue Yan, Yagura, and Uzumaki Orihime headed for the nearest town to the Grass ninja village to stay.

Since Uzumaki Orihime was pregnant, Yue Yan asked Yagura to take better care of her at night.

After learning about this, although Yagura rolled her eyes at Yue Yan several times, she didn't decline.

Lying on the soft bed, Uzumaki Orihime stared blankly at the ceiling. It was a long time before she finally realized that she had left that hell where she was at others' mercy.

Just then, Yagura brought a basin of hot water and planned to wipe Uzumaki Orihime's body.

Noticing that her expression was no longer completely numb, Yagura comforted her.

"You're safe now. Even though he's a jerk, he's not so bad."
