Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

The feet that Kado had been looking at suddenly disappeared. His heart skipped a beat, and when he looked up, he found that the cult leader had vanished.

Kado breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Upon thinking of the god of bliss, Kado immediately clasped his hands together.

God, please bless him to become the richest merchant in the ninja world!

The country of waves.

A small mound stood before him.

Grandpa has become even shorter than himself.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

He reached out his sleeve and wiped away his tears.

"Mom, what should we do..."

Yi stared blankly at her grandfather's grave.

Without Grandpa, the bridge could not be built at all.

The entire Land of Waves will fall into Gato's hands.

Akana stood beside Inari and hugged her, saying, "Don't worry, Inari, Mommy will protect you!"

As she felt her mother's warm embrace, tears welled up in her eyes again.

Footsteps approached slowly.

Yi cautiously withdrew from her mother's arms and looked toward the place of birth.

Arcana and Illya were slightly stunned when a handsome man, who looked like a god, appeared behind them.

He seemed to be glowing from head to toe.

"Such a profound sadness..."

Rin gently wiped away her tears.

His gaze was filled with pity, encompassing the mother and child before him.

What are your wishes?

Rin asked with a smile.

Arcana stared blankly at the Rinzo before him and blurted out, "Is it a god?"

Rin smiled and nodded: "The God of Bliss will grant your wishes and soothe your pain..."

His hand landed on Akana and Ili's heads.

Such warm, reassuring hands...

Arcana and I couldn't help but close their eyes.

They seemed to smell the sunshine.

It calmed their anxiety.

"They're worried about the Land of Waves..."

Rin pulled his hand away from their heads.

Akana and Ira heard Rin's words and stared at him in surprise.

"The God of Bliss has commanded Kado to build the Bridge of Bliss, so the Land of Waves will not be doomed."

To the astonishment of Akana and Iri, Rin's figure vanished into thin air, as if he had never existed.

"Mom, is what the deity said true?"

In there, she couldn't help but want to believe in the gods.

Arcana opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer.

Sudden.

A figure ran towards them from the beach; it was Mori Hisashi, one of the island's fishermen.

Morihisa's face was beaming with a bright smile.

"Good news from there!"

"Construction of the bridge is still ongoing!"

Her pupils dilated.

He rushed toward the bridge like a gust of wind.

Countless workers are building the bridge in an orderly fashion.

Above their heads hung a plaque.

Four large characters were written on it.

—The Bridge to Bliss.

So, there really are gods!

Yi looked behind her and saw her mother kneeling down under the plaque, tears glistening in her eyes.

……

On the way back to Konoha.

The atmosphere in Class 7 was heavy.

Aside from Muzan remaining unchanged, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were all sullen.

Kakashi knew they were grieving over Tazuna's death and the hatred stemming from Tazuna's grandson.

Kakashi didn't say anything, even though he had long anticipated that scene might occur.

This is about Naruto and his friends' growth.

For the first time, the world showed them its cruel side.

"Kakashi," the taciturn Sasuke spoke up, "Are all the members of the Eternal Paradise Cult as strong as him?"

The image of Tazuna being beheaded flashed through Sasuke's mind again, and he gritted his teeth, suppressing the fear welling up from the bottom of his heart.

Kakashi shook his head: "I don't know. There isn't much information about the Eternal Bliss Cult. Currently, the only known figures in the ninja world with relevant records of their strength are Azami, another member of the Eternal Bliss Cult, and..."

Kakashi paused, his gaze falling on Sasuke's stubborn profile: "Uchiha Shisui."

Sasuke clenched his fist: "Is that guy named Azami very strong?"

“Strong,” Kakashi nodded affirmatively. “Although I have never fought him, he and Uchiha Shisui almost destroyed Kumogakure and Iwagakure.”

Sakura gasped.

Kumogakure and Iwagakure are the five great ninja villages of the ninja world!

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village, which caused Konoha heavy losses in the war, were almost destroyed by two ninjas?

"Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"

Naruto looked at Sakura with a puzzled expression.

"They are two ninja villages as powerful as Konoha."

Sakura's explanation left Naruto frozen in place.

Why didn't he kill us?

Muzan was thinking about a different problem.

Muzan's question immediately silenced Kakashi and the others.

They almost simultaneously repeated Muzan's question in their minds.

Yes!

Why not kill them?

It was clearly an easy task for that cult leader.

"He asked us if we wanted to join the Eternal Bliss Cult, maybe..."

"He wants us to join the Eternal Bliss Cult."

Sakura guessed.

"But in the end we didn't answer, and he left."

Naruto could still feel the pain and weakness in his palm as if it had been pierced.

"I do not know either……"

Sakura shook her head.

In any case, escaping unscathed is a lucky thing.

Chapter 398 Mission failed!!!

The Hokage's office.

A blue electronic screen unfolded in front of Rei Amamiya.

His gaze swept over the skills displayed on the electronic screen.

[Please select three skills from the following list for fusion and upgrade: Universal Pull, Kotoamatsukami, Blood Demon Art: Spider Silk, Blood Curse, Tailed Beast Ball, Octopus Leg Clone Technique, Koi-rei Yae-ko, Black Thunder Heaven Drive, Shadow Binding Dance, Senra Thousand Realms, Eight Prisons Collapse, Universal Blood Curse, Boundless Heart Domain, Eight Trigrams Cloud Piercing, Corrupted Bone Hidden Crack... Click to expand]

Split Volume Fury and Cola have both been upgraded, now it's Sky Joy's turn.

Sora possesses the ability to fly at high altitudes and can also emit ultrasonic waves to attack enemies.

To enhance one flight skill and one sonic attack skill, Rei Amamiya needs to carefully search through her skill list.

Flight skills...

Rei Amamiya thought of the ability he obtained from the Seven-Tails' flesh—the Seven-Tails' Wings.

The flight speed of the split entity should increase after the fusion upgrade!

Rei Amamiya couldn't find a suitable sonic attack skill, and her only sonic breathing technique had already been fused and upgraded with the Demon House.

The only skill that can be related to sound attack is Nightmare's Blood Demon Art: Forced Sleep.

Rei Amamiya's eyes lit up. "Don't tell!"

This skill seems to be able to really merge with the Corrupted Bone Rift!

【Ding! 】

[Please confirm whether to fuse and upgrade the following skills: Corrupted Bone Crack, Blood Demon Art: Forced Sleep, and Seven-Tailed Wings?]

【whether】

Rei Amamiya rested her chin on her hand, casually waving her fingers in the air, and clicked "Yes".

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Rei Amamiya and said to him, "Take a break if you're tired. There's no need to rush as we can't finish processing all the documents."

Rei Amamiya: "...I understand, Hokage-sama."

Hiruzen Sarutobi is truly a heartless capitalist.

He originally thought that after Hiruzen Sarutobi handed over Root to him, he would no longer need to come to the Hokage's office to handle documents.

In fact, he really thought too highly of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His day was divided into two parts: he went to Root in the morning and came to the Hokage's office in the afternoon.

"By the way," Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of Root and asked with concern, "How did taking over Root's mission go?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't possibly not be worried about this.

He understood Rei Amamiya's personality, and letting Rei Amamiya deal with the root problem was a huge challenge for him.

Rei Amamiya is forced to accept the dark side of this village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried about Rei Amamiya's feelings.

Rei Amamiya paused for a moment, then nodded with difficulty to Hiruzen Sarutobi: "It's harder than I imagined, but I will do my best!"
