In the main building of Hozuki Castle, in a spacious conference room.
Mui sat down with a group of people wearing red and black cloaks and cow-horse masks across a huge round table.
These people are all senior members of Kusagakure that are holding a secret meeting.
"The Land of Grass is located in the middle of the three great powers of fire, wind and earth. Every time a war of ninjas breaks out, our country will become a chessboard for the major powers to compete for hegemony, and the ninjas and civilians of Kusagakure will be killed and injured countless times. Such a tragedy , must be stopped!"
"The situation in Amegakure is similar to ours, but that village has the Demi-God of the ninja world - Hanzo, so the major ninja villages dare not attack. Mui, your mission is to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss and get unlimited power. Thus becoming the Hanzo of our Kusagakure, maybe even surpassing Hanzo!"
""
These senior Kusagakure ninjas, talked emotionally to Mui.
Inside Kusagakure, two forces have always been at odds.
One is the war faction who wants to use the power of the Box of Ultimate Bliss to revitalize Kusagakure; the other opposes war and wants to permanently seal the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
Over the years, the war faction has gradually gained the upper hand. Mui and these people in the conference room are all members of the war faction.
"I have a list here. They are all carefully selected prisoners. Their chakras may help us open the Box of Ultimate Bliss."
Mui took out a list and showed it to the members present.
Kisame's name is also in it.
In addition to Kisame, Pakura of Scorch release is also in it.
Hozuki Castle hid a big secret from the ninja world.
Who would have thought that the purpose of building a prison here in Kusagakure was to extract chakra from prisoners and use it to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss from ancient times.
The list of sacrifices carefully selected by Mui are basically all Jonin from various ninja villages, including the genius female ninja Pakura of Scorch release from Sunagakure.
Kisame is the only chunin on the list, because according to the information in the hands of Kusagakure, Kisame won the first place in the chunin exam held in Konoha a few months ago, and his chakra volume is comparable to a Jonin.
Moreover, Kisame has left a deep impression on Mui.
Unfortunately.
In this prison, no matter who the prisoner is, as long as Mui targets them, they are not far from death.
The members of the war faction didn't notice that a man was hiding on the beam of the conference room, eavesdropping on their conversation.
It's the invisible scarface.
'The Box of Ultimate Bliss is indeed in the Hozuki Castle.
For opening this box, it seems that the chakra of many people need to be drawn. It seems that those rumors are true.
It's a big joke that they think they will be on the same level as Hanzo-sama.
The Box of Ultimate Bliss will definitely fall into the hands of Amegakure and help Hanzo-sama unify the Ninja world. '
These thoughts flashed through Scarface's mind.
Taking advantage of the fact that the war faction members are gathered here for a meeting, he quietly turned and left, preparing to go to Mui's office to investigate.
However, what Scarface would never have imagined was
Someone else was following him all this time.
Kisame has been following behind him from the start, and also heard the conversation of Mui and others through the wall.
"Let's have some fun."
He whispered, made a seal, and detonated the Explosion seal on Scarface's shoes on the spot.
"Bang."
A dazzling fire light lit up on the beams of the house, along with the splattered blood followed by Scarface's screams.
After he was injured, the invisibility technique was also lifted.
"Who?!"
The members of the war faction were startled and looked over their heads.
'This high-level meeting of Kusagakure involving the Box of Ultimate Bliss was actually spied by someone.'
'Whoosh whoosh.'
Without needing Mui's order, several senior Kusagakure ninjas wearing cow-horse masks jumped onto the beams and attacked Scarface.
'Damn, what the **** is going on.'
Scarface roared wildly in his heart, desperately tried to break out of the encirclement, but he was already injured.
"Stop!"
A high-ranking Kusagakure ninja performed the confinement technique and freezed scarface .
Then, with a bang, he threw Scarface off the roof beam.
"Mui, who is this person, and is he a prisoner of Hozuki Castle? Why doesn't he have the mark of Heavenly Prison technique?"
Mui squatted down, looked at Scarface, and gradually frowned.
As a warden who manages thousands of prisoners, he has a very good memory, which can be said to be unforgettable.
Coupled with the obvious facial features of the scarface, Mui quickly recognized that the other party was a prisoner from Amegakure who had just arrived at Hozuki Castle a few days ago.
'Not good.'
Mui's face suddenly changed, as an extremely bad conjecture came into being.
"What's wrong?" The Kusagakure ninjas asked.
"This person is very likely to be an undercover agent sent by Amegakure. We... I'm afraid that the Demi-God of the ninja world is staring at us."
Mui stood up, took a deep breath, and said slowly.
"What?!" When they heard these words, everyone panicked.
Kusagakure and Amegakure are close neighbors.
For many years, although the high-level Kusagakure ninjas have been carefully guarding the secret of the Box of Ultimate Bliss, they are inevitably worried that the fierce neighbor coveted this treasure.
Unexpectedly, the thing they were most afraid of happened.
'Huh?'
Kisame who was hidden in the dark couldn't help but look surprised.
At this moment, he wanted to say something to Scarface: What a coincidence, you are also an undercover agent.
What surprised Kisame even more was that Scarface also seemed to be coming towards the Box of Bliss. Moreover, he was ordered by the Demi-God of the ninja world, Hanzo.
'Things are getting interesting.'
In the conference room, the senior members of Kusagakure were in a mess. After all, the shadow of a person's fame, and the deterrent force brought by the name Hanzo is too great.
"Tell me, did Hanzo send you here? Answer the questions honestly!" A senior Kusagakure ninja grabbed Scarface's collar and asked loudly.
"Humph."
Scarface smiled coldly, his eyes filled with mockery, as he didn't say a word.
With the mission failing, he was clearly prepared to die.
"Mui, what should we do now?" the crowd asked.
"What are you panicking about? If Hanzo really had that ability, he would have come long ago. Why bother with such a small trick, sending undercover agents to sneak in. Don't forget, this is our territory, no matter who covets the Box of Ultimate Bliss, we will make them pay the worst price."
Mui looked calm, and his tone was firm and cold.
With him as the backbone, all the members of the war faction gradually recovered from their panic.
The next question is how to deal with the intruder Scarface.
"Don't waste your energy on interrogating, this person will definitely not give any information. However, since he is here for the Box of Ultimate Bliss, let's show mercy and take him to see it before he dies. ."
Mui looked down at Scarface, revealing a playful smile.
"Hahaha." The members of the war faction who were present also laughed understandingly.
They then left the conference room with scarface, and went straight to Mui's office.
Kisame quietly followed them.
They walked through a long corridor to their destination.
'Squeak.'
Mui pushed open the door of the office, and as soon as he walked in, he saw a row of huge bookshelves.
He walked straight to the middle bookshelf, found the third blue book from the left, and took it out.
'Creek.'
The mechanism was activated, the bookshelves slowly opened to both sides, and a secret door appeared in front of everyone.
Mui and others filed in.
After entering the secret door, there is a winding staircase that seems to extend into the dark abyss.
Disturbing and frightening.
They held Scarface and walked down the steps.
Ten minutes later.
They came to a spacious laboratory.
In the middle of the laboratory, there is a blood-stained operating table, with various torture instruments, bottles and jars on both sides.
Obviously, this is where Mui and others persecute prisoners.
'Thud.'
Scarface was pressed to the operating table.
Then, Mui took a needle and injected a fluid into Scarface, the latter's body was immediately paralyzed, and he couldn't even move a finger.
"Aren't you looking for the Box of Ultimate Bliss, it's right in front of you."
Mui looked at Scarface, and showed a smile.
Scarface looked forward and found that directly opposite the operating table, there was a door more than six meters high, with a lifelike face carved on the door, and its expression looked full of unspeakable sadness.
'The Box of Ultimate Bliss...is it behind this gate?'
However, Mui's next words made Scarface widen his eyes, feeling unbelievable.
"My family has been a guard for generations, which literally means guarding a certain door. That's right, the door I want to guard is it."
Mui suddenly raised his voice and pointed to the door, "It's the Box of Ultimate Bliss!"
Not only him, but other senior Kusagakure ninjas were also caught in a frenzy.
They stood by the operating table, surrounded scarface, chanting words, as if they were engaged in some kind of devout prayer.
Under the call of everyone, the human face on the door slowly opened its huge mouth and released a hurricane-like suction.
"What!"
Scarface let out a scream, and the chakra in his body poured out from the abdomen, forming a purple energy flow, which continuously entered the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
During this process, Scarface's body lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body was sucked dry alive.
In less than a minute, he became a mummified corpse.
And the Box of Ultimate Bliss seems far from being satisfied.
Kisame watched all this happen in the dark.
