Konoha: A golden flash from the tomb

Konoha's caravan continued their journey, and the Anbu who strangled the grass ninja outside the village last night had also returned. They separated into two ten-man teams to escort Konoha to Konoha Village.

But after completing the battle against the Grass Ninja Village, Minato was not in a hurry to leave the Country of Grass. There was no need to do anything to dismember the land and resources of the Country of Grass. With the guarantee of absolute force, there was no difficulty in these matters.

The place he is going to now is Oni Lantern City, located in the sea enclave of Grass Country, to receive a group of prisoners and send them to Konoha for Orochimaru to do research.

Due to its geographical advantages, Ghost Light City has been used as the location of the Ninja World's public prison by the five major countries. After all, Xiao Ninja Village cannot afford to build a prison, but they need a place to hold criminals. All the ninjas imprisoned there are 'notorious' Guy, the rebel Ninja Kakuzu of Taki Ninja Village was once a resident there, but this prison failed to imprison Kakuzu forever. He successfully escaped from prison and killed the senior officials of Taki Ninja Village who sent him to prison, and became a The name is Ren Ren.

Konoha's research institute has Shin's clones as the best experimental subjects, but the high cost means that Shin's clones can only be used for the most valuable blood inheritance research, to replenish a batch for the laboratory. Prisoners are an excellent subject for research.

Although Oni Lantern Castle is not far from Kusanagi Village, the actual location of Oni Lantern Castle is closer to Taki Country and Earth Country. The land of Kusanagi Country is now surrounded by several countries, and they have lost their coastline.

This enclave is the land once owned by the Grass Country when it was prosperous.

There has always been such a story in the ninja world that came out of nowhere. Legend has it that a long time ago, the Land of Grass was once the most powerful country in the ninja world. They even had powerful weapons that could rule the world, but when they were about to use it, On the eve of this weapon's dominance of the world, the Kingdom of Grass turned from its peak to its decline. The originally vast land was divided up, and all its glory was fleeting like fireworks.

The important support that once led the Kingdom of Grass to the peak of its prosperity existed in Ghost Lantern City.

It's just that this secret has been sealed by the Grass Ninja Village, and only a few high-level officials can know it. By relying on the isolation of Ghost Lantern City, they have successfully hidden it from the attention of the five major countries.

As an open prison in the ninja world, there are eye-catching street lights here, but there must be the darkest shadows under the street lights to hide things that cannot be seen.

The news of the destruction of Kusanagi Village last night has not yet reached Ghost Lantern City. Minato did not let his Anbu attack this place while destroying the village. First, it was to prevent them from escaping in the chaos. These prisoners were all those that Konoha was going to capture. Secondly, because the lord of Ghost Lantern City, the ninjas of the 'Tianlao' clan are quite powerful.

Although the Ghost Lantern City nominally belongs to the Grass Ninja Village, the real ownership of the Ghost Lantern City should be the Country of Grass, the Country of Grass that our ancestors once enjoyed, not the weak country it is now.

The highly autonomous Ghost Lantern City naturally needs a strong city lord to serve as the guardian of this prison.

The inaction and impermanence of the 'Tianlao' clan surpass those of Jonin and are second only to ordinary Kage-level experts. Although their strength is not good at ninja fighting in the normal sense due to their own secret technique of Tianlao, But once they are touched closely and leave behind the sealing technique of the Heavenly Prison Technique, the enemy will be in big trouble.

Although the Heavenly Prison Technique is covered with fire escape, it is actually an exquisite Chakra sealing technique. It is difficult for a person who has been branded with the Heavenly Prison Mark to use chakra. Even if he uses it forcefully, the chakra in his body will dissolve. Create a chain of flames and burn the subject's body. Even if they are too far away from the caster, the seal of the Heavenly Prison Technique will activate on its own, burning the subject to death.

When facing ninjas who are not as strong as themselves, or who are of comparable strength, the Heavenly Prison Technique is a very difficult ninjutsu, and it is particularly good at guarding prisoners in prisons.

"But is that Box of Bliss really the weapon used by the Immortal of Six Paths?"

Minato, who knew the secrets hidden in Ghost Lantern City, asked Kyuubi in his heart. To be honest, he was really curious about this matter.

"The Bliss Box?"

The Ninth Lama, who had shrunk a lot, touched his chin with his short hand and made a contemplative gesture.

"I seem to have heard of it hundreds of years ago, but the old man has definitely never used such a thing."

"If I remember correctly, that thing can create chakra full of destruction and fear through sacrifice, and use it to create an ugly thing used in war."

After looking through countless memories in his mind, Kyuubi seemed to remember something.

"You know, Minato, I am a collection of hatred. Although it was not so at the beginning, after a thousand years of war, hatred, betrayal, and killing, I am indeed such a thing in the eyes of you humans."

"I can't even remember how many years ago it was. It seems that a group of bastards wanted to take advantage of me and wanted to offer this collection of hatred to this box of bliss as the best sacrifice."

Speaking of this, Kyuubi opened his big mouth with jagged fangs, "But it seems that I killed them all. Anyway, in the more than 1000 years I have been alive, such things have happened frequently. If you hadn't mentioned it now, I would have I can’t even remember.”

"But then... I seem to have heard that they still released the disgusting monster in the box, but it was completely destroyed by the monster. Those idiots are different from me. I can smell what they are carrying, which belongs to that The stench of the box.”

"It smells worse than the desert cesspool where Shukaku stayed."

"You know Minato, watching those stupid, ignorant and arrogant idiots embark on the path of self-destruction is one of the few things in the world that amuse me."

The Nine Lama laughed with his big belly in the sealed space. It has to be said that although humans are an existence that he hates, over the long years, humans have also provided him with countless jokes, which relieves his pain when he wakes up. boring time.

While Minato and Nine Lamas were chatting, they had already stepped onto the sea and arrived at the land where Ghost Lantern City was located.

There is a kind of berry called ghost lamp everywhere here. This is an edible fruit. Ordinary fruits are non-toxic and taste sweet and sour. However, white fruits can cause general paralysis after eating. Some prisoners want to Being able to take a day trip to the medical prison, the oasis in the prison, after the white ghost lantern fruit is blown into the prison by the wind, they will often eat it with joy and enjoy a relatively comfortable time.

Minato, who had not concealed his whereabouts, had already been discovered when he arrived at the small island of Ghost Lantern City. The movement of hundreds of people was not small at all. Before Minato could reach the gate of Ghost Lantern City, there was someone inside the city. The two of them hurried out to greet him.

"I wonder what the Hokage-sama's orders are when he comes to Ghost Lantern City?"

Although Wuwei is many years younger than Wu Chang in terms of age, at this moment he is the talker of Ghost Lantern City and the city lord here. However, he keeps his stature very low and does not feel any disadvantage because of being the city lord. disrespectful.

"The Grass Ninja Village has been destroyed, and the Ghost Lantern City will be taken over by Konoha from now on."

The scattered Anbu crossed over Wuwei and Wu Chang, and they quickly entered the Ghost Lantern City behind them and began to take over everything in the city.

In response to Minato's actions, Wuwei wanted to raise his hand several times, but he forced it down every time, and his face became frighteningly pale.

I don't know if it was because of the incident in Cao Ninja Village or the incident in Ghost Lantern City, but Wuwei at this moment revealed a sudden panic and a trace of deeply hidden anxiety.

"Wuwei is willing to be loyal to Konoha, and the Tenlao clan is also the same. I beg you, Hokage-sama, to bypass us. Ghost Light City has never participated in any actions of the Grass Ninja Village, and has never had the slightest offense against Konoha. Wuwei begs you, Hokage-sama. Hold your hand high."

With that said, Wuwei pulled off the token symbolizing the Lord of Ghost Lantern City and presented it to Minato with both hands. He was unwilling to disappear from the world because of the involvement of the Grass Ninja Village. He still had unfinished business in Ghost Lantern City, and he was rescuing himself. Wu Wei never wanted to die before his son Wu Gu was born.

This unhesitating surrender and determination made Wu Chang stunned on the spot, but Wu Chang who reacted immediately knelt down with Wu Wei. He knew that since Minato had spoken, they might actually have a chance of survival.

It depends on whether they can grasp it and whether they can surrender quickly enough.

Just as no army could capture Paris before France surrendered, Ghost Lantern City's choice of inaction was not inferior at all.

"Really?"

Minato reached out and picked up the token offered by Muwei and looked at it.

"I can spare you and let you continue to stay in Ghost Lantern City and watch over this place as before."

Before Wuwei could show his joy, Minato's next words sent him into the abyss.

"But I want to take away the Chest of Bliss."

"Although the so-called revival of grass ninja is just a vain fantasy, I think it is a good thing for you and for me to cut off these thoughts and work honestly and peacefully."

"What do you think, Wuwei?"

Wuwei, who was in a trance, raised his head with difficulty, and saw those blue eyes. There was no trace of amusement in Minato's eyes, which made him feel cold all over.

(In the movie version of Blood Prison, Muzan is a box from ten years ago, when Tsunade was in power, so Naruto's age should be around 13 or 4 years old, and the time of the box is just right.)
