CH 234

More and more people began to enter Hozuki castle.

Some sensitive and smart people had already realized that something big was going to happen.

Even the number of guards in the city began to increase.

Obviously, Lord Mui was preparing something to achieve a certain goal.

But apart from Mui and his cronies, no one knows what will happen.

The people imprisoned in this city only wanted to find an opportunity to escape and then find a way to break the seal on their bodies.

“Recently, many strangers have entered the city. What is Mui planning to do?”

“Hmph, no matter what they do, it has nothing to do with us disabled people who can’t use Chakra. I actually hope to see something big happen, so that I can take the opportunity to escape.”

These vicious prisoners were looking for an opportunity.

Similarly, the people who had recently entered Hozuki castle were also silently waiting.

“This is Hozuki castle? As expected of the infamous criminal city of Ninja World. Mui is really amazing.” In Konoha’s team, Anko looked around and was in high spirits.

“Hey, don’t be so ignorant. It’s very embarrassing for our village.” Morino Ibiki pulled the hat on his head and reminded him.

“You are so long-winded. I have never seen such a city before. What’s wrong with looking at it more?”

“Anko, we came here on behalf of Konohagakure. We have to guard this city for half a month. It’s inevitable that we have to deal with the locals. If you behave embarrassingly, we will inevitably feel embarrassed.”

Morino Ibiki said coldly, looking straight at Anko.

Ever since Orochimaru defected, this was the first time Anko had left the village to carry out a mission.

As the only disciple of Orochimaru, Anko was naturally under the strictest surveillance. When Orochimaru just defected, Anko was even grounded.

As Orochimaru was killed by Yuuji, the imprisonment of Anko was loosened. But after Orochimaru was resurrected, the village began to stare at Anko again. When Orochimaru was killed again, Anko would be a little free again…

Until now.

It was rare for him to leave the village.

It also means that the village has begun to trust Anko, no wonder Anko is so excited.

“Got it, troublesome fellow… Don’t you think so? Guy, why aren’t you the captain?” Anko whispered.

“Because Ibiki is more suitable to lead the team than me.” Guy was very honest.

Anko snorted and turned his head away.

Konoha’s team was the last to arrive at Hozuki castle. Not long after, the three of them received an invitation from the City Lord.

The three of them didn’t pay too much attention to it. It was just a mission to guard the city. It was a very common mission. After waiting for half a month, they left for the village.

“Eh? Why are there so many people? Where is this?” Anko quickly frowned.

The three of them were called to a huge square.

In the center, there was a magnificent building.

What made the three of them notice was that other than them, there were other people waiting here.

“Those two are… Akatsuki ? ! Why are Akatsuki’s people here” Morino Ibiki quickly glanced at the people on the square. When he saw the two tall figures of Duy, who was wearing black clothes and red cloud uniform, his expression immediately changed.

His face was full of worry.

According to the information they had, Akatsuki’s core members seemed to like the action of two people in a team.

In other words, if only two members appeared… it meant that these two people had a high chance of being core members, and their strength was at the beginning of the elite level!

“Are those two members of Akatsuki? I hope they are both elite Jonins. If it were two Kage level, it would be a big problem.” Sweat also appeared on Anko’s forehead.

Unexpectedly, a core member of Akatsuki appeared in this mission that he thought was just an ordinary one!

“It’s not Sage’s eyes. Judging from her figure, she is not the woman who uses paper to hide, nor is it Kakuzu and Hiruko… But that shorter man is carrying a huge weapon on his back. Could it be Samehada ? Is it Kirigakure’s S-class traitor ninja Kisame ? Who will the other person be? ” Ibiki took a deep breath, feeling a great pressure.

Kisame’s physique was incomparably tall, one meter and ninety-five, but Kisame’s teammates were even more exaggerated. Two meters tall, they were also ridiculously strong.

Who could it be?

In the sea of Ibiki’s mind, he did not remember any strong person in the villages who had this kind of physique.

“Guy, did you find anything?” Ibiki said in a low voice.

Guy shook his head, indicating that he had not found anything.

“Damn it, why is it like this? What is Mui trying to do? Were these two people hired by him as well?” Ibiki gritted his teeth.

It was just a city in a small country, yet such a powerful fellow actually appeared?

“Hey, the others are also very strange. All of them have their heads lowered, hiding their faces and showing their tails… Only we don’t have any cover. Is this appropriate?” Anko sized up the others.

Standing a little further away were a few ninjas in loose robes.

Even further away, there was a figure standing in the shadows, which was extremely suspicious.

Not only that.

The criminals were also driven to the square by the ninjas.

It was extremely noisy, and there was a lot of cursing.

After a while, Mui finally appeared.

Surrounded by several cronies, Mui walked over with a blank expression and stood in front of the central building.

“It seems that everyone is here.” Mui glanced at them and said faintly.

“City Lord Mui, I think you have to explain what is going on with these people. At the same time, they have hired so many of us. At least, they have to provide us with some necessary information.” Ibiki said slowly.

Mui said, “I didn’t need to explain it to you. I originally planned to hire the experts of Konoha, but I didn’t expect that Konoha would only send you guys over.”

Mui was a little disappointed.

He wanted to hire Yuuji the most because the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki and the Two-tailed Jinchuriki would not be released easily no matter what.

It’s a pity that no matter how much money he pays, no one will pick up Konoha’s Kage-level powerhouse.

At the level of kage, it was a strategic weapon of the village, and it would not be casually dispatched for the invitation of a small city.

As a result, Konoha only sent three young people, what was the use of this?

Forget it, since there was Kisame, it should be enough. Sure enough, it was more reliable for the mercenary organization to work with money.

As for whether there would be a situation where they would be cheated… Heh, after opening the chest of bliss to make a wish, none of the people present would survive.

From the very beginning, Mui never intended to pay to Akatsuki!

“Hmph, I’m getting impatient from waiting. Let’s get started. I need to bring the money back quickly.” Kisame urged.

Mui nodded. He was not interested in paying attention to Setsuna and the others who had sneaked in. The more people with unknown identities, the better. It was good to provide Chakra for his great cause.

It was about to begin.

Mui shouted, “Open!”

The door of the building in front of them suddenly opened, revealing a strange face.

It was unknown whether it was an illusion or not, but everyone who looked at the face instinctively felt a sense of unease. An endless stream of fear was rising from the depths of their hearts.

It wasn’t that they had the most direct understanding of this ghost face, but it was that there would be a strange feeling of fear that would cause people to be confused.

Subconsciously, many people couldn’t help but take a step back.

“What is this thing?”

“You drove us here just to let us see this?”

The crowd was restless. These prisoners continued to observe the situation, still not forgetting to find a chance to escape.

Mui made a gesture.

Around them, the ninjas and guards all revealed sinister smiles.

A portion of them guarded the important roads around them, blocking the way for the prisoners to escape.

The other group of people had cruel expressions on their faces as they brazenly attacked and began to wantonly chase and capture the people present.

Regardless of whether they were male, female, old, or young, if they were people, they would capture them.

Before the disturbance had even spread out, many of the prisoners were stunned.

Everyone saw that many of the prisoners had already been thrown at the ghost face!

Crack!

A strange sound rang out.

The ghost face suddenly opened its mouth, and a terrifying gust of cold wind blew out. In the next moment, the ghost face had already devoured everyone.

“What happened ! !”

“Is this purpose of Mui? I remember now. Every year, many people disappeared inexplicably. It turned out that they were fed to this damn thing! “

“Run, we have so many people. We must find a way to escape!”

The prisoners began to become restless and turned to flee.

But they, who were weak, were quickly knocked down and finally entered the mouth of that face.

The number of people in the crowd was decreasing at an astonishing speed.

“No wonder he wanted to hire me, so he wanted to collect chakra… But this thing is really strange, swallowing chakra? Is this some kind of weapon, or some kind of demon? Is there any benefit in doing this?” Kisame had an expression of wanting to watch the show, but it was not a big deal.

He looked at the people who were screaming and wailing in high spirits.

All the people who were thrown into the mouth never came out again, so it was easy to imagine that they were all dead.

This ghost face’s mouth was like a bottomless pit, swallowing the endless living people, and never satisfied.

“Hmm? Be quiet, Samehada. This time, I can’t feed you my chakra. This is actually a mission. I am very professional.” Kisame noticed that Samehada on his back was a little agitated, and he comforted it.

But it was useless.

“This knife might not be concerned about Chakra, but fear… The things in the building make it feel fear.” Might Duy suddenly spoke.

He had been silent for a long time.

“Is that so? It’s no wonder. When I see that damn thing, I feel uncomfortable. Speaking of which, senior, it’s not your style to be so quiet. Is it because you can’t bear this cruel scene? Or is it because you saw an acquaintance?”

Kisame had a playful expression as he opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

He looked at Might Guy in Konoha’s team.

An acquaintance.

Kisame remembered that in the Three Battles Arena, he had been ruthlessly kicked to the ground by this father and son who had a mouth full of youth love. He had lost the opportunity to escape.

He had not expected to see this father and son pair gather together under such circumstances. It was really interesting.

Kisame could not help but let out a malicious laugh.

It looked like all the prisoners were going to be fed.

However, the ghost face still did not give any response. It still opened its mouth and silently asked to feed more Chakra.

“Just now, there were only a few thousand people who were devoured, right? Is it still not enough ? !” Anko’s face was deathly pale.

Ibiki looked worried. “What does Mui want to do? What will happen after feeding him enough Chakra?”

“I can’t stand it! Even if these prisoners are not good people, they should not be treated like this!” Guy cursed and was about to attack the ninjas of Hozuki castle.

Ibiki and Anko held him down immediately.

“Calm down, we are Ninjas who carry out missions. No matter what happens, it is the employer’s business… Even if you want to settle the score, you have to wait until the mission is completed!!” Anko’s face was pale, but he gritted his teeth and roared.

Guy was unwilling.

In the end, all the prisoners were thrown in.

Mui frowned and said, “As expected, it is still not enough. That’s right, the overall quality of these prisoners is worrying, and I have also sealed their Chakra, so they can’t extract more Chakra, which means that there are more, and the effect is limited, so…”

Mui began to look at the others, and his eyes were cold.

In addition to his subordinates, there were about ten people left.

There was no need for Akatsuki and Konoha’s people to move for the time being.

They just had to clean up the others first.

As soon as Mui gave the order, many ninjas rushed to Setsuna’s group and the unknown person standing in the distance.

“This is really troublesome… Fight quickly and try not to be exposed.” Setsuna frowned.

The few Uchiha clansmen could no longer hold back and attacked.

Each and every one of them was strong and had experienced hundreds of battles. They slaughtered the Hozuki castle ninjas like chopping vegetables.

The lone man in black had his head lowered all along. Facing the siege, he did not raise his head. He only moved quickly and easily dodged the attacks.

He stretched out a finger and casually pointed it out in front of everyone, defeating these ninjas.

“Interesting.” Kisame said.

Mui hesitated for a moment and ordered his men to stop attacking.

Although his subordinates were all cannon fodder, there was no need to consume them here.

“Everyone of Akatsuki, it’s your turn. I need your chakra.” Mui said.

Might Duy did not move.

Kisame directly took a step forward and stretched out his arm. “Although I am very unhappy, this is part of the mission. I am also very curious about what will happen if I feed enough chakra.”

Boom!

In the next moment, a terrifying airflow erupted from Kisame’s body. It turned into a shocking cyclone and flew towards the ghost face.

The ghost face opened its mouth wide and swallowed, as if it was very excited.

Finally, when Kisame lost 70% of the chakra in his body.

This ghost face finally changed.

Rumble!

A huge shock wave burst forth, and the entire building was destroyed.

After the smoke dissipated, an incomparably huge and strange chest suddenly stood in place, spinning crazily.

Four ghost faces, four different expressions.

“Finally…” A look of joy appeared on Mui’s face, and he was about to approach.

But at this time, an old voice suddenly shouted.

“Now is the time. Attack!!”

Setsuna suddenly raised his head. The fanaticism in his eyes almost turned into solid flames, burning everything to ashes.

The endless spring of youth, the long life of Mangekyou Sharingan… All of these were waving to him!
