Two Days Later—
In just two short days, the situation in the Land of Grass had completely stabilized, and matters on all fronts had been put in perfect order.
It could only be said that they really lived up to being ninja.
This kind of efficiency wasn't limited to killing people. As long as they accepted a commission, their efficiency in every aspect was terrifyingly high.
Moreover, because the Daimyo of the Land of Grass personally issued a surrender announcent, and because the local residents had long lived in poverty due to the upper echelons of the Land of Grass squeezing them dry, there wasn't much resistance to Konoha's managent.
It wasn't that there was absolutely no one who chose to resist and stir up trouble. Ignorant people were always the majority. A portion of them, after being incited by so minor landlords, raised their weapons against Konoha's ninja.
In a situation like that, what else could be done?
To ninja, there was only one option.
Kill them.
After killing one to warn a hundred, naturally no one dared to resist anymore.
And once the matters of the Land of Grass were completely settled, the only things left were the Land of Fire, and the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
That sa day, on an uninhabited island in the sea near Hozuki Castle.
A massive cube-shaped box descended out of thin air.
The entire box was pitch black, with mask-like reliefs carved all over it.
And because of its landing, the entire island couldn't help but tremble.
This was none other than the Box of Ultimate Bliss from Hozuki Castle!
In the next mont, Aoba appeared not far away with Sasuke, Mui, and Ryuzetsu.
Originally, Aoba hadn't planned on bringing Ryuzetsu along. It was only because Mui, considering her past relationship with his son, requested that Aoba bring her as well.
Aoba didn't really mind. At most, it was just one more spectator.
As for Uchiha Mikoto, she had originally wanted to co take a look too, but considering that a scene of "a loving father and a filial son" might occur,
Aoba still found an excuse to politely refuse her.
And once everyone was present, their expressions were all different.
Aoba's expression was calm, while Mui and Ryuzetsu looked extrely conflicted.
They longed to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss, yet at the sa ti feared the despair they would feel upon seeing the truth after it was opened.
Only Uchiha Sasuke, staring at the incomparably ferocious and bizarre Box of Ultimate Bliss, revealed a blazing, excited expression.
Like a pervert who had abstained for half a year and suddenly saw a naked beauty standing in front of him.
The mont he landed, Sasuke impatiently looked at Aoba.
"What do we do next?"
"Look at you, so impatient again."
"?"
"Aunt Mikoto specifically told again and again to make sure I guaranteed your safety."
"…."
Hearing this, Sasuke imdiately stared at him with dead fish eyes.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that Sasuke seed on the verge of wanting to fight him to the death, Aoba added, "I'm hoping you can stay a bit calr. What you need to do is use that negative emotion to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, not be controlled by that negative emotion."
Hearing this, the expression on Sasuke's face finally eased a little. He nodded and said seriously, "I understand."
"As long as you understand, then we can start preparing."
Aoba walked over to the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
Only Sasuke followed closely behind him. Mui and Ryuzetsu stood farther back, staring without blinking.
This had all been explained beforehand. After all, the two of them were just witnesses.
"Next, I'll inject chakra into the Box of Ultimate Bliss. Once it opens, you say your wish," Aoba said to Sasuke.
"Mm, I know."
Sasuke stared unblinking at the Box of Ultimate Bliss, the eagerness in his eyes impossible to hide.
Great, looking at him like this, that reminder was pointless.
Aoba was helpless. At this rate, Sasuke definitely wasn't escaping that beating later.
Affected by negative emotions, head not clear?
Then beat him until he was clear.
He stopped paying attention to Sasuke and raised his palm toward the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
BOOM!
In the next mont, the chakra within Aoba erupted, whipping up a visible shockwave around them.
It was as if even space itself had begun to twist.
In an instant, because of the excessive chakra outburst, violent winds were directly stirred up across this lone island on the sea.
Blocking all the sea breeze that had been blowing toward it.
Seeing this scene, Mui's breathing instantly stalled.
'Is this really chakra that a human can possess?'
After becoming the warden of Hozuki Castle, he had constantly stolen chakra from the prisoners there and injected it into the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
Yet after all these years, he realized that all the chakra he had stolen combined still wasn't as shocking as Aoba casually releasing it like this.
From the mont Hozuki Castle was attacked by Konoha's ninja, to when he chose to submit and offer his loyalty to Konoha,
He had first been suppressed by Kakashi and Sasuke, then finished off by a single punch from Tsunade.
He had never once seen this Hokage of Konoha take action.
'Is this the strength of Konoha's Hokage?'
No wonder Konoha had always been called the number one ninja village in the ninja world.
And in the next mont, after being infused with an enormous amount of chakra, the entire Box of Ultimate Bliss began to glow, faintly wrapped in a layer of white light.
Imdiately after, the reliefs on it began to fall away, revealing four twisted, ferocious ghost faces facing four different directions.
Those four twisted ghost faces also began to emit large amounts of purple-black smoke.
Humm!
As Aoba continued to pour in chakra that seed endless, like an abyss.
On all four sides of the box, the ghost faces that had been spewing purple-black mist actually showed hints of human-like excitent.
BOOM!
In the next mont, the shockwave erupted outward from the box as the center. Fortunately, everyone present was fairly strong, so none of them were blasted away.
And when the shockwave dissipated, the different expressions on the four ghost faces beca even more vivid.
As if they were about to truly co alive.
"ROAR!"
Finally, one of the ghost faces opened its huge mouth and let out a monstrous roar.
At the sa ti, through that gaping mouth, everyone could see the bottomless darkness and depth inside the box.
As well as that mass of negative emotion that was almost solidified.
Even Sasuke, upon sensing that emotion, couldn't help feeling a mont of fear amidst his excitent.
And precisely because of that instant, a flaw appeared in his heart.
At that mont, Aoba looked toward him. Sasuke imdiately understood, and with an excited heart, took a step forward on his own initiative.
Facing the abyssal maw opened by the Box of Ultimate Bliss, he shouted loudly.
"I want to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan!"
"..."
As if responding to Sasuke's wish, after a brief mont of silence, all four twisted faces of the Box of Ultimate Bliss opened their mouths at the sa ti.
Massive amounts of purple-black mist burst out from the four mouths.
As if alive, rushing straight toward Sasuke.
At that mont, Aoba retreated to Mui and Ryuzetsu's side, and the purple-black mist instantly enveloped Sasuke.
"Aaahhhhhh!"
In just an instant, Sasuke let out a scream of agony.
Because at this mont, the negative emotions like rivers and seas had completely subrged him.
One mont he cried bitterly, the next he laughed wildly, then raged, then felt wronged.
All kinds of past experiences surged into his mind. They were the sa experiences as before, but the emotions were magnified countless tis.
And when all that purple-black mist drilled into Sasuke's eyes, all of Sasuke's expressions and roars abruptly stopped, leaving him bent over, clutching his eyes.
Watching this scene, Aoba remained calm, but Mui and Ryuzetsu were sowhat terrified.
Before they could ask anything, in the next mont…
"Heh! Hehehe! Hahahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"
Sasuke, who had been covering his eyes, suddenly threw his body back, and an eerie, inexplicable burst of mad laughter spilled from his mouth.
And within his eyes, the three tomoe finally, at this mont, completely connected into one.
"Hahahahaha! Power! I can feel the power! This is the invincible power of the Uchiha clan!"
"I don't lack anything anymore!"
