Chapter 304 The Box of Elysium in Hozuki Castle!
The Land of Grass, the Castle of the Ghost Lantern!
"You mean, you want to become part of Ghost Lantern Castle?"
Looking at the group of ninjas from the Land of Grass before him, including some Jonin from the Hidden Grass Village, Wuwei couldn't help but let out a cold smile.
"Yes, Lord Wuwei, we are all willing to submit to you. If you wish, we can even support you to become the Grass Shadow!"
An elite Jonin from the Grass Ninja Village looked at Wuwei before him. Although he was angry at Wuwei's attitude, under the threat of death, the elite Jonin still lowered his head and showed a submissive appearance.
"Surround me and make me a shadow of grass?"
"I think you want me to take your place and face off against Uchiha Izumi from Konoha!"
Wuwei's sneer became more and more obvious. He was not stupid or deaf. In fact, he saw through these guys from Kusagakure better than anyone else. In addition, with the recent events in the Land of Grass, how could Wuwei not see through their thoughts?
"If Lord Muwei can stop Uchiha Ikezumi outside Hozuki Castle, doesn't that further prove that your strength is enough to make you the Kage of a village?"
"Moreover, Lord Muwei, we have already dispatched ninjas to Konoha."
"Given the long-standing alliance between our Kusagakure and Konoha, if Konoha knew that Uchiha Ikezumi had killed so many people in Kusagakure, they would definitely send someone to stop him."
"Lord Muwei, you may not need to confront Uchiha Ikezumi directly; you can simply stall until Konoha's reinforcements arrive."
The leader of the grass ninjas put on a respectful look as he looked at Wuwei. Just by looking at him, it seemed that he was really considering everything for Wuwei's sake.
"I fear that before Konoha's reinforcements arrive, I, the lord of Hozuki Castle, will already be dead at the hands of Uchiha Ikezumi!"
But Wuwei merely scoffed at what Kusanagi said.
In Wuwei's eyes, these grass ninjas were still so naive, so naive that they thought they could rely on an insignificant title to help him, Wuwei, stand up when disaster struck.
At this moment, Wuwei was preoccupied with how to revive his son, Wugou, and had no interest in the ninjas from Kusagakure.
"And don't forget what Hozuki Castle is for; it's basically a prison!"
"You bunch of guys, you've been sent right up to me, aren't you afraid I'll throw you all in jail?"
Wuwei stared at the group of Grass Ninja in front of him. He could tell that the Grass Ninja had implemented a dispersed strategy. The Grass Ninja standing in front of him were actually only about half of the ninjas in the Grass Ninja Village.
but----
Even if it's only half, if this group is determined to storm Ghost Lantern Castle, Wuwei still can't stop them!
"Hozuki Castle is indeed a prison in the Land of Grass, but are you, Muwei, truly clean?"
"Don't think that Kusagakure doesn't know what you, Muwashi, did at Hozuki Castle!"
"Now that we've come to Hozuki Castle, whether you like it or not, you have to help us resist Uchiha Ikezumi."
""
"After all, according to intelligence, that Uchiha Izumi possesses eyes that can see through evil!"
Another grass ninja could no longer tolerate Wuwei's excuses. His eyelids kept twitching. He had a premonition that Uchiha Izumi was not far from Hozuki Castle!
If they continued to linger at the entrance of Hozuki Castle, he worried that he and his companions would be ambushed by Uchiha Ikezumi!
"That's right. Since we chose to come to Hozuki Castle, we naturally had the intention of dragging you, Wuwei, into this mess as well."
"Rumor has it that no evil can escape the judgmental eyes of Uchiha Ikezumi, and now that we're here, Uchiha Ikezumi will surely arrive soon!"
"With the power of your strange thing, plus ours, Uchiha Ikezumi isn't someone we can't kill!"
Another grass ninja stared at Wuwei and directly revealed Wuwei's greatest reliance.
Kusagakure didn't really care about Muwei, but Hozuki Castle was located within the Land of Grass, so they knew more or less about Muwei. According to the information, Muwei possessed a legendary treasure left behind by the Sage of Six Paths!
At this moment, after Kusanagi's few words, Wuwei's face had become terribly gloomy.
He never expected that these Grass Ninjas could be so shameless, openly stating that they intended to drag him down with them!
Wuwei himself was well aware that what he had done was shady, and if he were to actually face Uchiha Ikezumi, his sins would probably be no less than those of these grass ninja, and might even be more!
Wuwei really wanted to wipe out the Smoke Ring ninjas completely, but he knew very well that this was not realistic.
Even if he could open the Box of Bliss, it would require an extremely large amount of chakra!
"If you want me to help you resist Uchiha Izumi, then send all your chakra into the Box of Bliss!"
Wuwei's gloved hands clenched tightly. He knew his sins well. During the years he had been in charge of Hozuki Castle, he had extracted the chakra of the prisoners in Hozuki Castle prisons countless times and put it into the Box of Bliss.
However, chakra is related to a ninja's spirit and body. Over the years, the number of people who have died in Hozuki Castle due to the extraction of chakra to nourish the Paradise Box is not small. It can even be said that the number of prisoners in the Land of Grass is not enough!
The most important reason why Hozuki Castle was able to form an alliance with Konoha was that Konoha would hand over those serious criminals to Hozuki Castle for Muwei to guard.
"Open the Chest of Elysium —"
As Wuwei finished speaking, the group of Jonin from Kusagakure fell silent.
According to the ancient legends of their Hidden Grass Village, they almost ruled the entire ninja world through the Box of Bliss, but were eventually sealed away by the Sage of Six Paths, which led to their decline to their current state.
"Our chakra might not even be enough. Let's drain all the chakra from those prisoners in Hozuki Castle!"
"No matter how strong Uchiha Ikezumi is, can he really fight against the Box of Elysium, who once fought against the Sage of Six Paths?"
The leading Grass Ninja were extremely decisive. Pouring all their chakra into the Paradise Box would indeed shorten their lifespan and even temporarily render them powerless to resist.
But if they don't open the Box of Bliss, they'll end up dying at the hands of Uchiha Izumi!
"Then hurry!"
Wuwei didn't say anything more at this point. Four years ago, his son was swallowed by the Box of Bliss. Even though he had been working hard to collect chakra and send it into the Box of Bliss for so many years, there was still a long way to go before he could open the Box of Bliss.
Now that these Grass Ninjas have been forced into a corner, and since they are willing to contribute their chakra, Wuwei can't help but feel a little hopeful that he can free his son Wugou from the Box of Bliss!
