Chapter 209 Is Kaguya a Radiant Lady?
"Lord Raikage, those three arrived yesterday without prior notice and caused quite a commotion."
They, too, were drawn by the Box of Bliss, and at my urging, decided to visit it with you today.
Wuwei seemed to have guessed what Raikage wanted to ask, and directly explained the purpose of Bai Mo and the other two.
It seems they're trying to pull off a "two tigers fighting over a wolf" scenario.
"You came without prior notice?"
The Raikage noticed this crucial information and recalled the intelligence he had received some time ago: the Fire Country Daimyo and his entire family had mysteriously died after Tsunade became Hokage.
Uh, saying "may your whole family die" isn't an insult; it's just stating an objective fact.
As for the Raikage, he had no choice but to speculate about the cause and course of this matter from a conspiracy theory perspective.
This is too much of a coincidence.
The villages of Iwagakure and Kirigakure at least had a brief period of development, with the daimyo dying first and the Shinkage succeeding him to begin consolidating national resources.
Konoha is not going to put on an act anymore. Tsunade will take over first, and then the entire family of the Fire Country Daimyo will be wiped out.
In any case, the Raikage did not believe the rumors that the murderer of the Fire Country Daimyo was also the murderer of the Earth Country Daimyo.
The Raikage originally thought that the Land of Fire and Konoha were the most conservative places.
The Hidden Cloud Village's compromise of having the daimyo voluntarily relinquish some power and be treated as a mascot was already considered conservative.
The Land of Fire and Konoha had remained completely silent until now.
He thought the Third Hokage, that old fogey, had decided to bury his head in the sand.
As a result, Tsunade made such a big move as soon as she took power.
It is said that the daimyo's sole heir was not originally dead, but was eventually killed by someone in a bombing.
This cruel and decisive approach made the Raikage wary of Tsunade.
He had only met Tsunade once, and knew nothing about her character.
Now, Tsunade has brought Bai Mo, the person who stole the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, to Hozuki Castle...
"This visitor is not friendly, Lord Raikage."
Omoi, who was attached to the Raikage, whispered something.
"You are the ones who have come, the people from Kumogakure."
A single sentence brought an awkward expression to Omoi's face.
The other party actually heard it?
The Raikage didn't care. Since the other party had heard him, he might as well get straight to the point.
Lei Ying walked over to Bai Mo and the others, and stood in front of them.
She didn't know Uchiha Hikaru.
He then looked at Tsunade and Bai Mo: "Fifth Hokage, we meet again. And this one... After the last incident, I sent my subordinates to gather information about you, but we got nothing but your name."
"The city lord said that you also came for the Chest of Bliss. So you must have heard the legend of the Chest of Bliss—that it can grant the wish of the one who opens it."
The Raikage stared sharply at the two of them, eager to know if Tsunade and Bai Mo were here together to obtain the Box of Elysium and gain immense power to start a war.
"Of course, we also know that this is a magical treasure from the time of the Sage of Six Paths."
However, given that this thing is activated by absorbing chakra, it couldn't have appeared before Kaguya Otsutsuki's arrival.
Bai Mo continued the conversation.
However, the others from Kumogakure couldn't understand what Bai Mo was saying. Who was Kaguya Otsutsuki? And what was with the barrel and the wood? Was she someone who planted and cut down trees?
Does its name contain Kaguya's name? Is it related to the Kaguya clan? Could it be that it plays with bones?
"Doesn't your Hidden Cloud Village have the Six Paths Treasures? The Six Paths Treasures are said to have been made by the Sage of Six Paths, but this Box of Bliss doesn't say that, only that it's from the 'Six Paths period'."
That makes sense. Although the Sage of Six Paths doesn't look very righteous when he smiles, he's a decent person and wouldn't do something so evil.
So how did this box come about?
Could Kaguya actually be the Lady of Light, and her departure triggers a terrifying "panic box"?
"..."
The people of Yunyin Village clearly knew what important information Bai Mo was talking about, and they had memorized it all, but they didn't understand a single word of it.
"It doesn't matter how we got this box; we're here to destroy it so that no one will try to use it to cause trouble in the future."
It can't destroy the world, and destroying a country is a bit difficult, but causing some unnecessary casualties is still easy.
Every life is precious.
(All the daimyo: Really? I don't believe it.)
"Your goal is to destroy the Box of Elysium?"
Lei Ying was somewhat moved; he had finally understood a sentence.
Lei Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief upon learning of Bai Mo and the others' objective.
If that's really the case, then things are much easier to handle.
Their original purpose in coming here was to find out the truth of the legend of the Box of Bliss and what its function was.
If it works, then let's use it.
If there are any unacceptable side effects, or anything else, then find a way to destroy or seal it away; in short, it cannot be obtained by anyone else.
From this perspective, the goals of both sides are actually consistent to some extent.
The problem now is...
First, Raikage cannot fully trust Bai Mo and believe that everything he says is true.
Secondly, the premise of a shared goal is that the Box of Bliss is truly unusable and must be destroyed.
However, the Raikage glanced at his younger brother Killer Bee behind him, and at Yugito, who was idly scratching at the door frame with his fingernails on the other side.
They have two Jinchuriki here, plus the Raikage; their fighting strength is more than enough.
What about Bai Mo's side?
Tsunade, Bai Mo, and an unknown little girl.
He had fought both Tsunade and Bai Mo, and they were evenly matched in terms of strength.
The reason he withdrew his troops last time was because Bai Mo had already obtained the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and could use the Tailed Beast as a powerful weapon to attack at any time.
Today, Bai Mo's side doesn't have any Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, but their side has two.
What's there to be afraid of?
And there are benefits too.
Since Bai Mo and Tsunade have taken the initiative to destroy the Box of Elysium, no matter what they want to do, they are the ones who made contact with the Box of Elysium first.
Isn't it a great thing that the people of Kumogakure don't have to take risks?
Even if it takes a lot of chakra to open the Chest of Bliss, it will be Tsunade who will do the work, not her brother Killer Bee or Yugito.
OK, great.
"I didn't expect you to care so much about the peace of the ninja world. I admire you greatly. Please allow us, a few from Kumogakure, to accompany you."
Raikage extended a hand, gesturing for Wuwei to lead the way.
The Raikage wasn't just putting on airs.
He sent Bai Mo and Tsunade to take risks, but that doesn't mean he wanted them to die. If any abnormal riots or disturbances occurred, they would indeed take action.
"Alright, please follow me."
Wuwei led the way, taking them to the center of Ghost Lantern City, a spacious plaza.
In the middle of the square, a huge cube-shaped box of unknown material stood there.
It seems that Wuwei had made preparations last night.
Seeing Bai Mo walk towards the Box of Bliss, Wuwei didn't say anything.
He already had a complete plan and wasn't afraid of Bai Mo and the others destroying the Box of Bliss.
—After losing his son, he tried countless ways to open and destroy the Box of Elysium, but all failed.
The Box of Bliss has no way to be opened except by injecting chakra and letting it open on its own...
Click.
boom!
Bai Mo placed his hand in front of the Box of Bliss. The Box of Bliss made two sounds, its outer shell twisted, and then it exploded into dust.
Wuwei: ?
