I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

In particular, the leader of this team is none other than Konoha's Hokage, Senju Kumo-tei.

Such a personal adventure is completely unlike Konoha's usual style; it's more like the style of the Cloud Ninja.

But the other party clearly has the right to be arrogant.

After experiencing the battle with Uchiha Madara, Ai clearly realized how powerful such a person was and understood that Konoha's configuration clearly indicated that they were determined to kill him.

tomato

The Five Nations Alliance, which originally planned to deal with Uchiha Madara of Senju Kumo-tei, is now unable to contact him with only two days left in the three-day deadline.

Now, the Cloud Ninja can only truly rely on themselves.

Thinking of this, Ai turned his head to look at the square behind him, which was now filled with Cloud Village ninjas.

In the very center stood a box called the Box of Bliss, from which black magic spells spread out to all parts of the plaza, connecting each Cloud Ninja within it.

As you can see, on the plaza, six thousand Cloud Ninja are channeling their chakra into the Paradise Box through the jutsu they perform.

The latter absorbed everything without hesitation, and one could vaguely see that, compared to the beginning, the faces of the people with joy, anger, sighs, and happiness had become more lively.

Compared to Hozuki Castle's clandestine sacrifice of the Box of Bliss, the Cloud Ninja, by utilizing a barrier formation, not only did not lose any of their own, but also provided a large amount of chakra with extremely high efficiency.

It can be said that in the short time since it began, with the massive transfer of chakra by 6,000 ninjas, the Chest of Bliss has absorbed more chakra than the total amount of chakra contributed by Hozuki Castle over the past few decades.

Looks like I need to increase the force!

With this thought in mind, Ai's gaze hardened, and she quickly turned around and gave the order:

"Notify the four nations of Earth, Water, Wind, and Iron that Konoha has unexpectedly started a war, and the Fourth Shinobi World War has already begun. Tell them to launch an attack immediately!"

"Notify the barrier team to activate the village's protective barrier now, at maximum effectiveness!"

"Notify the garrison to evacuate the villagers immediately!"

"Notify the Cloud Ninja stationed elsewhere to return to the village as quickly as possible. Here, we will settle the score with the Konoha invaders!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Ai finished speaking, the group of Cloud Ninja waiting in front of him immediately sprang into action.

Soon, piercing alarms blared throughout Kumogakure, followed by massive chaos as large numbers of villagers, along with their families, hastily evacuated.

Such a commotion naturally aroused the suspicion of the Cloud Ninja who were transferring chakra to the Box of Bliss.

Just as they were looking around, somewhat at a loss, the Fourth Raikage, A, strode up to them and said in a deep voice:

"Gentlemen, today, Konoha has launched an unannounced war against Kumogakure. At this moment, the Konoha army, personally led by the Fourth Hokage Senju Kumogami, has already defeated several Kumogakure forces that were trying to stop us, and is now advancing towards our village."

Upon hearing this, all the Cloud Ninja present were instantly shocked.

They never imagined that war would break out so quickly, and that it would soon engulf their own home.

Especially after hearing that the leader of the Konoha delegation was the Hokage, many of the people present, including some who had been captured by the Hokage and worked in the Cloud Ninja Construction Corps of the Land of Fire, were filled with fear.

Also located there, the faces of Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, who had been in Konoha for three years and five years respectively and were only recently released, were also filled with solemnity.

To be honest, none of the Cloud Ninja understand the strength of Konoha over the years better than they do.

As for Senju Kumo-tei, the Hokage, he recounted his experience of being easily captured by Senju Hashirama through the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails within him, making them realize just how vast the gap was between them.

"I was right after all," Yugito sighed softly.

She had considered that Konoha would deal with the Cloud Ninja first, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly and so thoroughly.

Thinking of this, Yukito shook his head: "They really don't give us any chance at all."

No! There's still a chance!

Killer Bee, standing beside him, looked at the Box of Elysium with an unusually serious expression.

At the same time, the Fourth Raikage, A, also shouted:

"More than fifty years ago, the Hidden Cloud Village was first established. Since then, the First, Second, and Third Raikage, and all the Hidden Cloud Village ninja and villagers have worked hard to build what we have today. As the Fourth Raikage, I will never allow any enemy to destroy it!"

"Although the Konoha invaders, led by the Hokage, are strong, we Cloud Ninja are not without a chance of victory!"

"Now! I demand that all of you release your chakra as quickly as possible."

"The Box of Bliss, passed down from the time of the Sage of Six Paths, is our greatest trump card!"

"When it is activated, the Cloud Ninja will not only be able to defeat the invading enemy, but also return to their peak. No! Even stronger than their peak."

"So, for the sake of the Cloud Ninja, I'm entrusting this to everyone now!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Ai finished speaking, all the Cloud Ninja present immediately sprang into action.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

Moreover, the Cloud Ninjas already had nowhere left to retreat.

At this moment, if the chakra transfer of all the Cloud Ninjas was still stable and balanced before, then now, apart from leaving a last bit of chakra to prevent themselves from dying, the rest was all transferred to the Box of Bliss.

It was in this extreme atmosphere that Ai walked up to Killer Bee and Yugito and said:

"By, and Yugito, we need your help now!"

Previously, Ai had been somewhat wary of the Box of Elysium and hadn't let the two Jinchūriki really exert their strength, in case of any possible accidents.

But now, with the swords led by Senju Yunting about to strike, Ai can no longer care about anything else and is going to fight to the death!

"Understood, brother!"

"Yes, Lord Raikage!"

Killer Bee and Yugito nodded solemnly.

The next second, the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails chakra, far larger than those of ordinary ninjas, surged from their bodies and rushed towards the Box of Bliss with the help of the black jutsu.

Soon, with the infusion of a massive amount of chakra, the Box of Bliss finally began to shimmer with a deep, dark light.

"Come on! Let me see if you live up to the legend!"

Ai took a deep breath, full of anticipation.

Chapter 233 Making Wishes and Achieving Them

A deep, eerie light shimmered on the Chest of Ecstasy.

As six thousand ninjas unleashed almost all of their chakra, and as Yukito and Killer Bee channeled their immense chakra from the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails, the chakra of the ninjas was also transferred into the chakra.

Soon, the Box of Bliss, located in the very center, seemed to have finally eaten its fill and began to stir again.

The next second, streams of ominous black mist, like an abyss, rapidly seeped out from the Box of Bliss and completely enveloped the box.

Compared to the past, the four ghostly faces on the box, which were now partially obscured by the black mist, were more vivid, yet also more eerie.

Upon seeing this, Ai frowned slightly.

But when he thought about the information about the Box of Bliss that he had extracted from Wuwei's mind, and the huge threat posed by the Thousand Hands Cloud Court and other Konoha ninjas who were about to arrive, he didn't think about it anymore.

tread!tread!tread!

With firm steps, Ai arrived before the Box of Bliss. Taking a deep breath, he swiftly formed hand seals without hesitation, then spread his arms wide, pointing them at the Box of Bliss before him, and shouted:

"The Chest of Ecstasy, it's time to open it!"

As if responding to Ai's command, the black mist on the Box of Elysium suddenly burst into flames.

Upon seeing this, the two Jinchuriki, whose auras were extremely weak, and the six thousand ninjas, whose faces were pale, all breathed a sigh of relief and then revealed expectant smiles.

It seems that the fruits of their many efforts are finally about to be realized.

Ai felt the same way at that moment.

Without further delay, he excitedly proclaimed to the Box of Bliss his wish, along with that of everyone present from the Cloud Ninja, the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Land of Lightning:

"Please grant Kumogakure the strongest power to conquer the ninja world!"

Box of Bliss, please grant my wish!

! ”

The moment Ai finished speaking, he was also under the intense gaze of thousands of Yunren.

The black mist on the Box of Bliss immediately burned even more fiercely, and a large amount of purple light shone out from inside the box.

Soon, the Box of Bliss faced "Ai," and the masks covering the happy face, used to decorate the "happy" expression, quickly fell off.

Finally, accompanied by a flash of deep red light, the mouth of the gloomy-faced ghost suddenly opened wide, revealing a passage leading into the interior of the box.

The Chest of Bliss is officially opened at this moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The next second, violent vibrations erupted from inside the box.

Under the excited and tense gazes of Ai and everyone present, finally!

A gigantic, pitch-black claw managed to squeeze out of the gaping maw of the Chest of Elysium.

Next comes an arm that gets thinner and thinner as it goes further back.

Then came an enormous head, feathered wings, a torso as thin as a stick, and legs as thick at the bottom and thin at the top as arms.

Finally, the Bliss Box product named "Enlightenment" responded to Ai's wish and completely emerged from the box.

"Is this the power that the Box of Bliss believes can conquer the entire ninja world?"

Ai was quite surprised to see the enormous, bizarre-looking creature in front of him.

In his original plan, the Box of Bliss, which would fulfill his wishes, might grant him an incomparably powerful weapon, or even enhance his strength, allowing him to surpass Madara Uchiha and Yoruichi Senju and conquer the entire ninja world.

But now the Box of Bliss has produced such a monster.

"Is this guy really that strong?" Ai couldn't help but wonder.

As if hearing Ai's innermost thoughts, Wu, who had spread his wings on his back, chuckled and said:

"Everyone who makes a wish to the Box of Bliss will have their wish granted. Your wish is for Kumogakure to possess the power to conquer the ninja world. For this reason, the Box of Bliss specially sent me out. Because I truly do possess the power to conquer the ninja world!"

"Is that so?" Ai looked at the intelligent creature in front of him, examined it carefully, and said with anticipation, "Then show me your power to conquer the ninja world! As the one who opened the Box of Elysium, I should have the right to command you, right?"

“Orders? Heh, whatever.” Wu smiled playfully, then looked at the ninjas around him, his mouth, with two sharp fangs on each side, curving into a playful arc, and said, “Although I possess the power to conquer the ninja world, the power I just summoned is still very weak, and I need something to replenish it.”
