Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 345 The Box of Bliss
3 forty chapters
Two days later, Hokage's office.

Itachi, Shisui, Tsunade, and Jiraiya were summoned early in the morning.

After Minato and Itachi fought against the masked man and Nagato respectively, the village is now facing a grim situation.

The strengths and weaknesses of the two sides have changed. As long as the masked man recovers from his injuries and makes a comeback, then Konoha will face a huge crisis.

But Minato and the others couldn't just wait quietly like this.

In addition to the current strength of the Akatsuki organization, the monsters that may be controlled by the opponent have been completely sealed by Minato.

However, in the ninja world, apart from sprites, there are other special and powerful existences.

"It is said that in the Ghost Lamp City of the Country of Grass, there is an ultimate weapon left by the Sage of the Six Paths, called the Bliss Box."

There are many ancient files placed in front of Minato. After learning that the organization might covet the power of monsters, he has already begun to collect information on other similar existences.

The box of bliss left by the sages of the Six Paths is said to be the most troublesome in Kusanin village.

There are two reasons.

One is because it is related to the rumored ancestor of the ninja, the Sage of the Six Paths.

But the most worrying thing is that no one knows the power of having the Bliss Box.

"Did you send someone to negotiate with Ghost Lamp City?"

Jiraiya embraced him with both arms. Strictly speaking, this box of bliss is the property of Ghost Lantern City. Even if Konoha is one of the five great ninja villages, he has no right to do anything directly.

Ghost Lamp City, located in the Country of Grass, was created by Kusanagi Village entrusted by various countries. It is a prison for detaining criminal ninjas. It has a long history of existence.

Minato shook his head and said, "I asked Anbe's ninja to go to Ghost Lamp City first to understand the situation."

"In today's Ghost Lamp City, the Box of Elysium seems to be considered a taboo."

"Ok?"

Tsunade and Jiraiya also looked at each other. Although the Country of Grass where the Ghost Lamp City is located borders the Country of Fire, they were able to go back and forth in such a short period of time and obtain detailed information.

In Anbu, there should be only two ninjas with this ability.

Except for Kakashi who was recuperating at Konoha Hospital, there was only Shisui who was present at the same time.

With Zhishui's kaleidoscope pupil technique, no one is more suitable for intelligence gathering than him.

The eyes of the two stayed on Zhishui for a while, and Minato continued: "The son of Wuwei, the lord of Ghost Lamp City, seemed to touch the taboo box of bliss a month ago. But he was swallowed by the box of bliss."

"Swallow, is that person dead?" Tsunade asked.

"Ah, probably."

Minato replied that it has been a month since Wuwei's son was swallowed by the Box of Elysium.

No one knows what's in the Bliss Box, but even a ninja wouldn't be able to last so long without being swallowed by the Bliss Box and locked inside for such a long time.

"It's really difficult to do that."

Jiraiya's face gradually became tense, and they still don't know the purpose of Akatsuki's next move.

The ghost lamp city itself was created by Kusanagi Village entrusted by various countries, but Konoha's side cannot intervene in the affairs of the city.

With Konoha's current situation, there is no way to communicate with the members of the Five Ninja Villages except Kirigakure.

Because the masked man manipulated the four generations of Mizukage to bring the perennial bloody rule to Wuyin Village, Wuyin Ninja Village naturally has a strong hostility towards Akatsuki.

But the remaining three villages, Sand Ninja, Cloud Ninja, and Iwa Ninja, of course want to see Konoha consume his strength in the battle with Akatsuki.

Although Akatsuki's actions were secretive, how could it be completely hidden from the intelligence systems of these villages.

The reason why other villages have not responded until now is because they are happy to see this scene.

Just like back then, after Itachi defeated Yukito who was the N[-]o Jinchuriki head-on, all countries understood that Konoha is now stronger than it was during the third Ninja World War.

The strength of Konoha is naturally a threat to them.

Xiao's power also poses a threat, so when these two powerful forces collide, the best way is to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

Therefore, it is impossible for Konoha to hope to obtain the right to dispose of the Bliss Box through negotiations with the Allied Powers.

"In this case, we can only temporarily send people to monitor around Ghost Lamp City. Once Xiao takes action, we have a reason to take action."

After Tsunade pondered for a moment, he suggested.

This is exactly what Minato thinks.

However, Ghost Lantern City itself is a prison established to detain criminal ninjas from various ninja villages. The defense in the city is extremely tight, and the movement of members of the Xiao organization must be closely observed.

Such a task, the average ninja can not be competent.

Watergate has already drawn up candidates.

He looked at Itachi and said, "Itachi, the task of monitoring the movement in Ghost Lamp City is entrusted to you."

The reason for dispatching Itachi this time is not much different from the last time he was sent to the ghost country alone.

With Itachi's current strength, it is enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies. He has also mastered the fairy mode and has the ability of natural perception.

"I see."

Itachi nodded. In fact, besides listening to Minato's description of the current situation, he had been observing the latter's expression.

It seems that the inference he made a few days ago will no longer affect the man in front of him.

In addition to the Bliss Box in the Ghost Lamp City, Minato must also constantly collect information on other similar things in the ninja world.

After accepting the task, Itachi immediately set off for the Ghost Lamp City in Kusanin Village.

Ghost Lamp City is located on an island in the Country of Grass.

The island is located in the center of the sea, surrounded by hidden reefs, and on the coastline out to sea, Cao Ren Village has guard posts all year round.

But of course it is not difficult for Itachi to pass through this kind of protection.

After leaving the village, Itachi approached the island where Ghost Lamp City was located in only a dozen hours.

On the surface of the sea, there was a thick fog, which faintly obscured the outline of the city on the island.

Itachi used some means to successfully enter the Ghost Lamp City without anyone noticing.

In Ghost Lamp City, besides the city lord Wuwei and other ninjas from Grass Ninja Village, there are also ninjas from various villages.

And the duty of these ninjas is to guard the criminal ninjas imprisoned in various villages in Ghost Lamp City.

Of course, the crimes committed by the ninjas imprisoned here are not ordinary.

After Itachi entered Ghost Lamp City, in addition to the main task of monitoring, he also kept collecting information about the city.

But with the passage of time, the situation has exceeded the expectations of Minato, Itachi and others.

For several months, not only was there no movement in Ghost Lantern City, but the Akatsuki organization seemed to have disappeared again.
