Chapter 118: Yue Yan's Promise

Chapter 118: Yue Yan's Promise

When Ryūzetsu, Mugino's childhood friend, saw Mugino in danger, she tried to go and save him but was stopped by Yagura.

"Little girl, I advise you not to move. Otherwise, someone might really die."

Yue Yan glanced at Mugino, whose face had turned red from being choked and unable to breathe. Then he looked at Wuwei.

"He's your son, right? Tell me where the Box of Ultimate Bliss is, and I'll let him go. Think it over."

Hearing this, Wuwei, who was just recovering from the previous kick, looked at his son in pain, and his expression became conflicted.

On one hand was his child, and on the other was the dream he had worked hard for so many years. This made it really difficult for Wuwei to choose.

Seeing his conflicted expression, Yue Yan decided to give him a push.

"I'll count to three. If you still haven't made up your mind, this kid can die."

As he said that, Yue Yan slightly increased the force, making Mugino's expression even more painful.

"One..."

Just as Yue Yan counted to one, Wuwei found that he didn't seem to care so much about the dream of revitalizing the Grass ninja village. He loved his son more.

"I agree. I'll take you to the Box of Ultimate Bliss. Please put Mugino down first."

"A wise choice."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Yue Yan threw Mugino in his hand to Wuwei.

Mugino coughed twice and struggled to get up from Wuwei's arms.

"Father, that's your long - held dream. You can't..."

"It's okay, Mugino. Dreams are not as important as you."

Seeing his usually strict father holding him in his arms and feeling his warm embrace, Mugino opened his mouth but finally said nothing.

Seeing this scene, Yue Yan rolled his eyes in disbelief and whispered a complaint.

"So, I'm the bad guy now? I'm here to stop you from using the Box of Ultimate Bliss to get the power to rule the ninja world."

Hearing this, Yagura, who had just walked over, shrugged.

"Apart from other things, if I were a bystander watching all this, I'd also think you're the bad guy."

"Come on, stop whining. It's giving me a headache."

"Wow, this is so rare. Want big sis to rub your head?"

Yue Yan ignored Yagura and walked straight up to Wuwei.

"Now take me to the Box of Ultimate Bliss."

Hearing this, knowing that he couldn't resist, Wuwei nodded. After handing his son Mugino to Ryūzetsu and telling them to leave, he took Yue Yan to the place where the Box of Ultimate Bliss was located.

Previously, Wuwei found the Box of Ultimate Bliss underground and later moved it to a cave.

After arriving at the cave, Yue Yan looked at the box in front of him with expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure on its four sides. He couldn't help but step forward to take a look.

The Box of Ultimate Bliss is said to be one of the Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths. It's rumored that it can fulfill all wishes. After the user makes a wish, a monster named Wu will emerge from it. There's also a saying associated with the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

"Be born with Wu, act with Wu, and end with Wu."

This Wu that emerges is quite powerful. He has an ability called Fear Perception. Once Wu senses the fear in someone's heart, he'll know their next move. This ability goes far beyond normal Perception, reaching the level of Future Telling. If this ability were even stronger, it could even predict the future.

In the original story, the Twelve Ninja Guardians of Konoha, Kakashi, Might Guy, Yamato, and Killer B all tried their best but couldn't land an attack on Wu. He predicted and dodged all their moves. The only person he couldn't predict was Ryūzetsu at that time.

The way to deal with Wu is simple: have no fear in your heart. But that's easier said than done.

After all, as long as one is human, they'll always fear certain things or events. Even Madara, who looked down on everyone except Hashirama, was afraid of someone standing behind him when he was taking a leak. It's just a matter of the degree of fear.

Yue Yan couldn't guarantee that he had no fears at all.

After all, if Aunt Natsuki, the person Yue Yan regarded as his closest kin, died, he couldn't possibly not be afraid.

Or perhaps everything that had happened before was just a dream, and he had only been knocked out by an electric shock. When he opened his eyes again, he'd be lying in a hospital bed, having lost all his power.

Yue Yan shook his head. He couldn't think like this anymore. These baseless thoughts only mess up his mind.

Maybe it was because it hadn't been activated. No matter how carefully Yue Yan examined it, even when he activated his Senji perception, he didn't notice anything different. It was just like an ordinary stone with expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure carved on its surface.

At this time, Wuwei explained, "If we hadn't been building the basement, we wouldn't have discovered the Box of Ultimate Bliss. It only reacts when chakra is infused into it."

"All in all, it just lacks chakra, right?"

As he spoke, Yue Yan placed his palm on the Box of Ultimate Bliss and began to pour his chakra into it continuously.

In terms of chakra quantity, among the living people in the ninja world, aside from those who were dead, those whose death was uncertain, or those who were currently under seal, Yue Yan said that except for the Nine - Tailed Fox, no one has more chakra than he does. Not even Tsunade when she used the Byakugo Technique.

The process of infusing chakra lasted for over two hours. After Yue Yan poured three - fifths of his chakra into the Box of Ultimate Bliss, the expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure on the box emitted a dazzling white light.

After the white light dissipated, Yue Yan finally noticed something amiss. He felt as if someone had forcefully stuffed the emotion of fear into his body. This fear isn't directed at any specific thing or event, but is a very pure emotion.

Yue Yan could only perceive it, but this fear wouldn't have any impact on him.

On the side, Yagura and Wuwei didn't have as strong a perception as Yue Yan. Although they also sensed that something was off, they couldn't put their finger on it and soon stopped caring.

However, looking at the Box of Ultimate Bliss in its activated state, Wuwei always had an urge to rush up and make a wish. But after glancing at Yue Yan, he gave up this idea. Now that he knew himself well, he didn't want to take any risks.

"What wish are you going to make?"

Well, of course, it'd be to get an Arceus template. After all, it's the creator god. With it, he would also become a creator god.

Although he really wanted to make this wish, Yue Yan just thought about it. Although the Box of Ultimate Bliss could fulfill any wish, it definitely had an upper limit, and its upper limit was the Sage of Six Paths.

And the upper limit of his own system was much higher than that of this so - called Box of Ultimate Bliss. Therefore, Yue Yan didn't plan to use it to fulfill any wishes.

But considering the danger of this thing, Yue Yan thought for a long time.

Noticing his pensive look, Yagura was also a bit curious.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how I can stop others from using this thing."

"That's impossible, right? Even after you make a wish, as long as someone else finds it and injects enough chakra into it, it can still be used by others."

Hearing Yagura's complaint, Yue Yan's eyes lit up.

"You're right. What if I make a wish that the Box of Ultimate Bliss can fulfill but also can't fulfill?"

"? " x2

These words directly left Yagura and Wuwei stunned. They had absolutely no idea what Yue Yan had just said.

Without waiting for them to understand, Yue Yan directly made a wish to the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

"The Box of Ultimate Bliss won't be able to fulfill any wishes anymore."
