Chapter 231 Box of Bliss
After arriving at the Kusagakure Village, Byakuya and Nagato performed transformation techniques and sneaked into the Kusagakure Village openly as merchants.

This was not the first time they had sneaked into the Kusagakure Village. The last time was to rescue Karin.

It has been five or six years since the last time I sneaked into the Kusagakure Village. Compared to five or six years ago, the Kusagakure Village has not changed at all.

Except for the decrease in traffic due to civil unrest, everything else is exactly the same.

For the villagers of Kusagakure Village, the lack of change is actually a good thing. They don't want to go through another Ninja World War, but the increasingly intense civil strife has made them start to consider whether to leave Kusagakure Village.

But for Nagato, the development of Kusagakure Village was too slow.

He still remembered the first time he arrived at the Kusagakure Village, he was still amazed at its prosperity. He didn't expect that only a few short years had passed and the Rain Village had surpassed it.

After entering the Kusagakure Village, Bai Ye and the others did not go to the Kusagakure Building, but sat in a nearby izakaya.

The pub is full of all kinds of people, and many drunk ninjas will inadvertently speak their mind and mention some irrelevant information.

For example, the confrontation between the hawks and doves in the Land of Grass, and the information about the Box of Paradise.

After hearing the words "Box of Paradise", Nagato was slightly stunned. He didn't know what the Box of Paradise was, but judging from the name, it should be something unusual.

The conflict between the hawks and doves in Kusagakure Village seems to be a fight for control of the Box of Paradise.

After a moment's silence, Nagato asked Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, how much information do you know about the Box of Bliss that they mentioned?"

Bai Ye knew a lot of information about the Box of Paradise, and he did not hide anything from Nagato.

The Box of Paradise is a box that holds demons. Legend has it that it can fulfill the wishes of whoever opens it. Hundreds of years ago, the Land of the Grass relied on the Box of Paradise to become the most powerful country in the Ninja World.

After hearing this information, Nagato frowned and instantly realized the importance of this thing.

If he and Bai Ye want to resolve the civil strife in the Kingdom of Grass, they must work on the Box of Paradise, but he doesn't know the exact location of the Box of Paradise at all.

Bai Ye saw through Nagato's thoughts and said calmly, "I will figure out the matter of the Box of Bliss. I will leave the task of communicating with the leaders of Kusagakure Village to you. You can show absolute force to them when necessary."

After saying that, Bai Ye disappeared from the spot, leaving only Nagato alone.

Nagato stood there for a while, and then began to collect information. He knew that Bai Ye’s departure was not a real departure, but an opportunity for him to train.

……

After leaving Nagato, Bai Ye rushed towards the direction of Gui Lantern City without stopping.

Kizuna Castle is an international prison in the semi-independent Kusagakure Village and the base of the Kusagakure Village's Hawk Faction. Important criminals from various countries are imprisoned in it, and it is also the place where the Chest of Paradise is stored.

The reason is very simple. Although the Box of Paradise is very powerful, it has power that is not inferior to that of the tailed beasts.

But in order to open the Box of Bliss, a large amount of chakra must be collected. These serious criminals who are imprisoned until death are undoubtedly the best candidates.

After all, with the current strength of the Kusagakure Village, it is impossible for them to attack the tailed beasts.

When he was a few kilometers away from Ghost Lantern City, Bai Ye could feel the dense chakras in the city. Most of the owners of these chakras were extremely weak, and only a few were relatively normal.

Deep underground, Bai Ye sensed an unusual chakra. Although this chakra was very weak, it reminded Bai Ye of the violent tailed beasts. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the chakra of the Paradise Box.

Sneaking into the Ghost Lantern City and following the ventilation ducts underground, Bai Ye discovered an underground laboratory.

There is a square metal box in the underground laboratory, on which are carved faces of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. Obviously, that is the box of bliss.

Around the Box of Bliss is a group of ninjas trapped in a magic circle. These ninjas are pale and thin, and are providing chakra to the Box of Bliss.

At this time, Bai Ye noticed a rather special prisoner. This prisoner was very young and looked somewhat similar to the ninja from the Grass Country.

Suddenly, the little prisoner Wuque said to the Grass Country Jonin Wuwei:
"Father, do you think the Box of Bliss can really grant wishes? If it can, why has the village declined to this point?
Wuwei Jonin said to Wuque: "The Box of Bliss is invincible. As long as the Box of Bliss can be opened, the Hidden Grass Village can be revived. For this, I am willing to do anything."

After hearing Wuwei's words, Wuqiu was silent for a long time.

He didn't understand why his father was so obsessed with the Chest of Bliss, but he really wanted to help his father. If he could really help his father, it would be great.

Thinking of this, several voices sounded in Wuque's mind.

His intuition told him that these voices came from the Box of Paradise. It was very likely that they were the voices of Wu in the Box of Paradise, and he was making a deal with Wu.

Satoru could consider his father's dream if he was willing to sacrifice his life.

Bai Ye has good eyesight. He noticed the change in Wuqiu's eyes. While he was moved by the deep love between father and son, he sighed softly in his heart.

In his impression, the Box of Paradise can indeed fulfill wishes, but not in the way the ninja wanted.

He still remembered that Wuqiu's dream was to help Wuwei so that Wuwei could gain a greater advantage in the fight for high-level power.

But Wuque himself will be taken as the price and put back into the box.

Later, when Wuwei collected chakra and wanted to revive his son, the Box of Bliss played another joke on him.

Wuque was indeed resurrected, but in the form of Wu.

While the father and son were talking, Bai Ye came to the Box of Paradise and reached out to touch the box that sealed Wu.

The Box of Bliss seemed to have magical powers and greedily absorbed a lot of chakra from his body.

One card, two cards, three cards.

The Box of Bliss absorbed a large amount of chakra from Bai Ye's body and soon absorbed enough energy. The voice in Wuque's ears became clearer and clearer.

At this moment, the Grass Country Jonin Wuwei frowned.

He first glanced in the direction of the Bliss Box, then looked around with a vigilant look, and then said: "Since you have already come here, why don't you show up?"

Bai Ye did not hide anything and stood directly in front of the jonin Wuwei and said calmly:
"Wuwei Jonin, I have long heard of your name. I came here this time to pay you a visit, but isn't the Paradise Box supposed to be guarded by you in Gui Lantern City? Why have you started offering sacrifices recently?!"
