CH 494

The figure that staggered out of the Box of Ultimate Bliss walked step by step and slowly came towards Mui.

“Otou-San.” Said the figure as he looked up at the man in front of him.

“Muku… forgive me, I was wrong!” Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Mui shed tears of joy… at this moment, he was not an elite Jonin of Kusagakure nor was he the master of the Hozuki Castle… he was just a guilty father who had no trace of keenness or vigilance against his son… He was endlessly joyed that he finally got to see his son again… this guilt and joy caused him to ignore the insidiousness and the madness hidden within the eyes of his son.

Whoosh…

Just as Mui was preparing to step forward and embrace his son who had finally come out of the Box of Ultimate Bliss, Muku who was slowly staggering forward suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Mui at an incredibly fast speed.

The scene changed so quickly that Mui, despite being an Elite Jonin of Kusagakure had no opportunity to react…

Slash…

And the next thing Mui felt was a sharp burning pain coming from his chest… he looked down and saw that his son’s right hand was inserted inside his chest, blood was spurting out of the bloody hole and sprinkled on Muku’s tender face relished it deeply making him look like a monster in the skin of a child.

In shock and realization, Mui staggered backward and spurted out a mouthful of blood, ‘Puff…’ then asked with some difficulty, “Why… why?”

Muku looked up and said, “Yes, Otou-San… you were wrong… You shouldn’t have let me out of the Box.” then he stretched out his tongue and licked the blood splashed on his face, showing a look of enjoyment, and ecstasy, “It’s the long-lost taste of sweetness.”

“You! You… are not my son! You are not Muku!” With a shocked and unwilling expression, Mui slowly collapsed to the ground.

“Perhaps…” muttered Muku with a smirked all while licking the blood on his hand.

Not far away, the four Kusagakure elders were shocked upon witnessing the scene in front of them; their legs softened and they collapsed on the ground in horror. There is no doubt that the Box of Ultimate Bliss did not fulfill Mui’s wish… what came out of the Box was not Mui’s son Muku, but a true monster in Muku’s skin.

At this moment, they also realized that the dream for which they gave up everything, even their humanity was nothing more than an illusion… the revival of Kusagakure to its former glory was just a Mirror Flower Water Moon.

Muku coldly glanced at the four Kusagakure elders who were too terrified to do anything, he wrinkled his nose and sniffed then immediately turned away with a disgusting expression, “A bunch of corrupt and greedy old fools… even the smell of your blood makes me sick.”

Next, he turned his gaze to the other side to look in the direction of Konoha where he could sense a whole lot of fear and deliciousness, and soon muttered in appreciation, “I think I will go that way.”

With that said, suddenly a palpating evil black chakra engulfed Muku’s young body and instantly his body distorted and morphed.

Arms distorted and lengthened to reveal huge brown claws and arms covered in black feathers, legs bulged and grew bigger, a big mouth with two pairs of sharp white fangs, a very slender stomach, a long black tail, and a pair of giant black wings like that of a crow… giving it the appearance of a true monster.

Roar… 

With a loud roar, the monster waved his right hand producing a sharp air current, instantly the four elders of Kusagakure were affected, their masked all broke and collapsed on the ground far away… three died instantly, while only one was still left alive and not so injured but he was too scared to be able to do anything and could only shiver in horror in the presence of that monster.

After dealing with the four elders, the monster no longer cared about them, just jumped upwards and landed on top of the Box of Ultimate Bliss… then using his huge and sharp claws, the monster grabbed the Box of Ultimate Bliss; opened his wings, and accompanied by a strong wind he flew in the direction of Konohagakure.

…

Konohagakure.

As soon as the sound of alarm bells rang, the entire village became extremely noisy, the streets were filled with civilians wanting to get to the Refugee as fast as possible, the noise of children crying in fear, and the noise of adults arguing in anger acted like oil in the fire making the village very chaotic.

But because the village has already conducted several evacuation drills in the past month or so, therefore, Konoha Shinobi soon began to spontaneously maintain order, calmed the panicked populace, and organized the villagers to enter the refugee in an orderly manner.

At the same time, many elite Konoha Shinobi moved towards the center of the village to gather near the Hokage Building, waiting for Hokage-sama orders.

On the outer wall, the Konoha Shinobi responsible for patrol duty watched the surroundings with utmost vigilance.

Although, everyone has a bad premonition that the village is under attack, so far, no one who the enemy is, from which direction they are attacking and how exactly are they attacking, therefore, the patrol has to watch over everything keenly.

Suddenly, a Hyuga Shinobi, who is part of the outer patrol pointed in the distance and alerted everyone, “At eleven o’clock, there is an unknown object approaching the village at a horrifying speed!”

Everyone immediately looked in the direction pointed by the Hyuga Shinobi, and they all noticed a small black spot that suddenly appeared on the horizon in front of the setting sun that is slanting westward… and the strange thing was that the small black thing was really approaching the village at a horrifying speed.

An Inuzuka Shinobi asked, “What… is that?”

An Aburame answered with a thoughtful expression, “From here it appears to be some kind of insect. Or perhaps a bid?”

But the Hyuga Clansmen immediately denied, “If it’s an insect or a bird, then its size is too exaggerated… and don’t you people sense Chakra fluctuations from that thing? Not only is its Chakra as exaggerated as a Bijuu but it is of a Vile and evil nature! It’s definitely an enemy!”

The Nara shinobi who is also part of the outer patrol also noticed this, because as that object was approaching closer and closer, everyone was able to sense vile and evil chakra, he immediately said to the Yamanaka Shinobi standing next to him, “Inoryuu, immediately report the exact information Hyuga-San dictated to Inoichi-sama!”

The Yamanaka named Inoryuu nodded, “Got it!” and immediately reiterated everything back to the Intelligence base using his Yamanaka Jutsu.

And while the Yamanaka was transferring back the information, the Nara said to the others around him, “Everyone, it might take a few minutes for the reinforcements to arrive… until then, it is upon us to keep that thing occupied here! By any means… we can not allow that thing to get past us and enter the village, else… the damage done would be tremendous… so whether for our families, for our clans, for our village, or for the will of fire, we must keep that thing occupied here!”

Everyone nodded, “For the FAMILY!” “For the CLAN!” “For the VILLAGE!” and “For the WILL of FIRE!!!!!”

Boom!!!!!!!

But before they could start implementing the combat strategies, the huge monster suddenly accelerated and directly slammed into the outer wall of Konoha and let out a Sharp frightening ROAR!

Smoke and dust filled the sky, wood, and stone splashed everywhere… and in the area where the monster slammed, a large section of the outer wall collapsed to reveal tens of meter-wide holes.

In the gravel pile, the patrol ninjas who had barely escaped with some serious injuries looked at the huge monster hovering in the sky with a dull expression and murmured in horror, “This thing… we can’t deal with such a monster!”

Just when all hope seems to have been lost, a loud voice echoed that seemed to give everyone a sense of security echoed in the surroundings, ‘Summoning Jutsu!’

Poof…

With a surge of white smoke, a giant toad leaped out and rushed toward the monster that was raging near the outer wall.

This toad is none other than Gamabunta, the Toad summon of the Toad Sannin Jiraiya. And as soon as Gamabunta rushed out of the cover of white smoke, he waved his giant Tanto towards the monster whose back was facing towards Gamabunta.

Slash…

Gamabunta’s slash was extremely fast and unexpected, yet the moment his Tanto was about to cut the monster, the monster without even bothering to turn just leaped high, and instantly avoided Gamabunta’s attack.

Jiraiya who was standing on the head of Gamabunta exclaimed in surprise, “Huh? Did the monster just dodge the attack at such close proximity?”

Gamabunta was also surprised, not because his attack was dodged, but because he recognized who exactly is this monster, and exclaimed in shock, “Satori?! Damn! How could this monster be revived? I am afraid we are all in very big trouble!”

…

Root Base.

All of a sudden, a glass crashing sound resounded in the laboratory, and the experimental material that was in Fujin’s hand a moment ago slipped his hand and was destroyed.

Fujin frowned because he could feel his hand shake all of a sudden which was unnatural… looking around, he noticed that this wasn’t the case just for him, but a lot of similar scenes appeared in the laboratory.

This means that it wasn’t just his hand that shook but the entire laboratory shook for some reason.

At this time, Orochimaru who was not too far away also stopped, and stopped the experiment halfway, his face had an annoyed expression because of the sudden interruption, at the same time, there was also a curiosity as to why did the laboratory shake all of a sudden?

It must be known that this laboratory is hundreds of meters underground and is reinforced with several Earth-style Jutsu, therefore, ordinary explosions on the ground above do not affect the laboratory even a little bit.

Therefore, both Fujin and Orochimaru can judge that something massive and terrible must have happened on the ground above which can even shake the laboratory located so deep underground.

Shimura Danzo who was patrolling in the corridor also stopped upon feeling the tremors and had a thoughtful look on his face.

Not long after, two Root Shinobi, one of whom is Bishojo-chan, hurriedly appeared in front of Danzo and one of them reported, “Danzo-sama, a giant monster is attacking the village and has already gotten past the Outer Wall after destroying a large section of it… it is suspected that this is the start of Akatsuki Organization’s revenge.”

Bishojo-chan added, “Danzo-sama, Root force has assembled and is awaiting your orders to act.”

Danzo didn’t even bother to think, and immediately ordered, “On standby.”

Bishojo-chan was taken aback… she didn’t seem to expect that Danzo would give them the order to Stand by… for a moment, she felt as if she misheard, and said lightly, “Danzo-sama, the monster has already invaded the village.”

Danzo’s expression sank, “Are you questioning my order?”

Bishojo-chan immediately shook her head and apologized, “No-no, Danzo-sama… it’s just that the villag-…”

But Danzo did not allow Bishojo-chan to continue, and directly ordered, “Withdraw!”

‘Interesting… now I am more curious about Bishojo-chan.’ Thought Fujin who looked at the entire conversation, ‘But it appears that I can not get any information out of her, for now at least.’ but restraining he looked up at Danzo and questioned, “As an Elder Consultant of Konoha, the village is attacked by the Akatsuki Organization and you are not going to do anything about it, Shimura-San?”

Danzo said in ‘as-a-matter-of-fact’ tone, “The old man has more important things he must do.”

Futen smiled disdainfully under his Fujin mask and thought to himself, ‘You dare not show up when the village is facing crisis… and you still want to be the Hokage?’
