The old man Takigakure who entered the box of bliss was like a fallen leaf.
Quiet, silent, nothing is stirred up, nothing is conveyed.
However, this cannot kill all the curiosity in the hearts of the prisoners on all sides! !
Is this box connected to another paradise?
Could it be that the old man had already received a blessing, or that he was not blessed enough to withstand the gift from the Box of Bliss?
Who was the guy muttering in response to before entering? Why didn't they hear anything? Is it the immortal in the box who is talking?
After all, this is the final weapon left behind by the Immortal of Six Paths, and it is the treasure protected by the Lord of Ghost Lantern City!
Incited by various emotions, more and more prisoners began to kneel down and pray.
Rich family,
The best in the world,
Immortal,
When the [Heavenly Prison] was lifted and freedom was relatively within easy reach, these people began to pray that secular people would have desires.
After all, even if there is only a little hope, it is completely worth gambling on their futures when they are exiled from the village! !
"Yes, yes, it's Master Immortal!"
"I understand, I understand, I'll come in right now!"
"Don't compete with me, the opportunity is mine, it's mine!!"
"..."
Under the prayer, figures shot out towards the terrifying box one after another, and there were even guys approaching together who took action in front of the open devil's mouth!
They all seem to have received specific promises and calls, and they are desperate to enter this box of bliss. The rationality and crisis awareness that the ninjas maintain are completely forgotten.
Of course, these desire-driven madmen only account for a small part of the number of prisoners.
Most people are still watching the subsequent developments rationally and calmly.
They still know very well that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
The city lord, Wuwei, also escaped from the besiegers here and jumped to a section of the deserted city wall.
Even though the monstrous flood has begun to recede along the cracked underground cave, and the seals of the [Heavenly Prison] have gradually begun to be restarted, he has no intention of controlling these sinners again, and just looks at the devil in the field of vision with a complicated expression. box.
As the owner of the [Box of Bliss] for so many years, he naturally has a certain understanding of this special treasure.
The old guy from Takigakure Village was right when he said that this was the final weapon left by the Sage of Six Paths, and that it could fulfill all the wishes of the one who made it.
However, its activation requires terrifying energy that ordinary people cannot even imagine.
Like those speculators who were swallowed up by desire before, not only will they not be able to get what they pray for after entering, but they will become sacrifices that provide energy for them.
Because the chakra energy possessed by those guys is simply not enough to fully drive it.
As for why he knew so clearly,
Not only because Kusakure-senpai from the previous era had experience using it,
This is especially because after the failure to seize the world, the village split into two factions: the Fuxing Faction and the Peace Seeking Faction. The Kusanagi Faction to which it belongs is the radical militant faction that attempts to activate the Bliss Box again!
The sacrifice used for activation is his biological son Wu Gu! !
Known as the genius of Kusanagi, he was born with powerful chakra energy, but in the end the deal failed. The energy supplied was not enough for this devil's box to burst out with the power to conquer the world.
And Wu Gu, who entered it, never came out again.
The failure of the last transaction did not make the Kusanagi faction give up their ambitions.
After the establishment of the Ghost Lantern City, they placed their plot in this huge ninja prison, and secretly continued to extract the chakra energy of the prisoners to restart this greedy final weapon.
But for Wuwei, his first goal has changed, and it is no longer to seek the entire world for his own village.
But to let his beloved son return to him! !
Therefore, he stood by and watched those stupid people fly into the flames.
Previously, due to the intimidation of various ninja villages and the surveillance of the main peace faction [Kusa no Hana], [Kusano Minoru], who was secretly planning a revival plan, could not do such an unnatural thing in a big name.
But today, it was Danzo of Konoha, and it was the prisoners themselves who were promoting this silent sacrificial feast! !
"Why hasn't anyone come out yet?"
"What is in that box and where did they go! The space in it shouldn't be able to accommodate dozens of people!!"
"Is the so-called wishing just a scam? Just seeing those devil statues makes me feel uneasy."
"..."
As time went by, more and more uneasy voices began to sound, and they who were rational began to have huge doubts about the reliability and authenticity of the [Bliss Box]'s ability.
No one continued to make wishes, and no one even wanted to get close.
More people begin to want to escape. After all, the sea water has begun to recede, and the effectiveness of the [Sky Prison] will reappear. Ninjas who do not understand the art of releasing imprisonment will become prisoners of inaction again!
But as long as they take advantage of now, while they can mobilize their chakra, and follow the water flow to reach the water source, then they can at least be free!
No matter how miserable the life of a wandering ninja is, it is better than being locked up in this prison city forever! !
"Boom, boom, boom."
However, right here, there were dull special sounds coming from outside the city one after another.
Even the entire ground and the prison's pavilions were shaken by the dull sound.
"what happened?"
"There's something approaching outside the city!"
"..."
The sudden change caused panic and hesitation among the prisoners who wanted to escape, and they looked towards the source of the sound in panic.
But the towering prison walls blocked their view, and the constantly pressing sounds seemed not to come from just one place, but from all directions!
In the end, what happened! !
Here, Danzo was standing there with his old body and spirit present.
Whether it was the prisoners taking advantage of the situation to escape, or greedily rushing towards the [Box of Bliss], or the changes that occurred now, they could not disturb his mentality at all.
The same was true for the four young ninjas who followed him. They watched the various behaviors of the prisoners in the game with great interest, just like monkey-watching tourists outside the circle.
The changes in the outside world were gradually revealed as dozens of figures rushed in from outside the wall.
Those guys were not from a third party force other than Danzo. They were prisoners who were not attracted by the [Box of Bliss] when the shackles of the [Tian Lao] failed and chose to escape as soon as possible.
They should have been freed, but at this moment they obediently returned to the cage.
Moreover, their faces all showed a look of horror, and even hideous wounds caused by fighting could be seen on some prisoners.
The right arm of one of them looked more like it had been twisted or crushed by some huge force, hanging powerlessly at his side.
"Stone puppets, there are so many stone puppets outside!"
"This place is completely surrounded! There is no way to escape!!"
In the hoarse voice of a prisoner with a Konoha forehead protector, the exiles trapped here were full of doubts and finally understood.
Before they could ask carefully what kind of stone puppet it was, the city walls on all sides suddenly started to bang.
No,
It wasn't just the sound of 'bang bang', the entire wall began to tremble from slight to violent following this rhythm, and rubble began to crack and fall from the city wall.
The whole thing feels like someone is pushing against the wall with the palm of their hand, but how can it be done to this extent by human power alone?
You know, this is a prison used to besiege ninjas!
The quality of Siege is undoubtedly reliable and hard!
For a time, the atmosphere of panic spread, and most of the prisoners in the area began to give up their interest in the [Box of Bliss], began to let go of their past prejudices, and involuntarily stepped on the stagnant water to reunite in the center of this exercise area, intending to pass through. Use the number of people to gain a sense of security and even cope with whatever may happen next.
Wuwei, who was standing on the city wall, naturally discovered the changes outside the city immediately.
With just one glance, he couldn't move his eyes away, and his lips and teeth that opened and closed unconsciously collided with whispers of 'how is that possible' and 'how is that possible'.
What I saw was a huge and uniform regular army!
However, this army is not made up of humans, but an army made up of stone figurines with no end at all! !
No feelings, no selfish desires, no pain,
At this moment, these undead puppets are following the orders given by their masters, and they want to rush into Ghost Lantern City like machines!
'Shimura Danzo! '
Wuwei, who forcibly calmed his mind, suddenly looked back at the old man with a cane standing on the pavilion.
And the other party was looking at him, calm and composed.
There is no doubt that this terrifying special army is loyal to that old guy!
[You already have such an army, what do you want to do? 】
【Could it be! ! 】
Wuwei's eyes turned to the [Box of Bliss] which slowly emitted a faint purple light according to its own frequency.
Once, Caoyin Village almost got the entire world with the help of this wishing machine, so now coupled with this undead army composed of stone puppets, does the combination of the two mean that they have obtained a complete puzzle of the world?
"Boom!"
In Yu Zhi's momentary suspicion, a violent roar began to sound, and large pieces of gravel began to fall on the spider web-like city wall.
Finally, amid a cloud of smoke that almost covered the sky and a rumble that could knock people over, the walls on all sides of Ghost Lantern City collapsed.
An army of stone figurines that were all dusty and had an extremely oppressive atmosphere turned into a cage of trapped beasts, completely surrounding the place.
"What the hell is this!"
Looking at the stone figurines standing up intact under the collapsed rocks, some prisoners could no longer bear the feeling of being oppressed by the army and asked questions in despair.
But no one could answer.
Facing such an organized army, they had no suitable weapons and their chakra was only gradually condensing. They instantly lost any resistance.
"Lord Danzo,"
"I am a Konoha ninja. I am willing to be loyal to you, obey your orders, and do anything for you."
"I just ask you to spare my life."
As the army of stone figurines continued to press closer and the aura of death continued to rise, some prisoners who had been exiled from Konoha began to beg for mercy.
Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly understand that this undead army must have been created by that group of invaders.
With this begging for mercy, more and more prisoners gradually understood the situation they were in. Not only the ninjas of Konoha, but also ninjas from other villages, including Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sand. The members of the four great ninja villages all made surrendering gestures.
After all, they are people who have been exiled by the village and are no longer trusted by the village.
It is better to live well than to die for the sake of integrity.
Hearing this, Danzo Shimura did not answer, as if he was unwilling to respond to these useless chess pieces due to his self-restraint of identity. However, the undead army that was constantly approaching from all directions suddenly stopped at this moment.
There is no doubt that while it proves that this army of stone figurines is controlled by them, it also proves from another aspect that the other party accepts the allegiance of these prisoners.
"Thank you, Danzo-sama."
"I will always be loyal to Danzo-sama."
"..."
Their lives were protected, and while the prisoners in the field were rejoicing in their hearts, they didn't care at all about the water on the ground as they knelt down and swore an oath.
Such a scene made the Lord of Ghost Lantern City very stiff.
He clearly understood that he had lost any trump cards to fight against, and even using the power of [Tianlao] as a threat again would be of no avail.
The surrounding army of stone figurines will attack them immediately and crush them.
There is only one variable that can be used at the moment, and that is the ultimate weapon, the [Box of Bliss], which remains untouched under the flood and the roar of the earth.
However, he has no desire to be responsible for this prison to the end, nor does he have the desire to conquer the world.
【I just want to get my son Wu Guo back! 】
[After receiving so many sacrifices, it’s time for you to respond! ! 】
With his mind racing, he suddenly rushed towards the strange Devil's Box.
"You never wanted to revitalize the village, did you?"
Just as he was approaching the [Box of Bliss], an old and familiar voice fell on Wuwei's ears, which made his movements suddenly slow down.
This voice comes from its companion [Kusa no Hide].
Do those old guys finally know how to speak?
But what if it was exposed?
All he wants is to get his son back! !
"Do you really think you can activate it again just by relying on the sacrifice of those three melons and two dates?"
Just when Wuwei was about to make a wish on the box, another voice fell on his ears.
It was still the voice of his companions in the camp, but it was a different person.
This statement made him stunned. He didn't know. He really didn't know whether the [Box of Bliss], which had not responded for a long time, would change because of his sacrifice.
He is willing to use his own life in exchange for his son's life.
But if he doesn't succeed, who else can help him get his son back?
No!
"If you really want to bring Muzan back to reality, then hurry up and serve Danzo-sama."
"Lord Danzo, you have the ability to activate the [Box of Bliss]."
Another person spoke,
They sang in unison and grasped the inaction mentality to death.
For a moment, the figure of the Lord of Ghost Lantern City, who was about to touch the devil's box, froze. Countless thoughts collided crazily in his mind in this short period of time.
He could not directly believe Danzo Shimura, who had a very poor reputation from the outside world.
However, his destiny was completely controlled.
"Lord Danzo, what do you need me to do?"
After a long silent struggle, Wuwei fell to his knees in despair.
