"What kind of divine tool is the Sage of Six Paths' and what does it do?" Naruto Uzumaki, after his initial excitement, grew immensely curious. "Is it super powerful?"
"It should be quite powerful," Sasame recalled from his previous life's knowledge. "It's called the Box of Ultimate Bliss, and it can grant one wish to the person who opens it."
"Can it grant any wish?" Sasuke Uchiha suddenly interjected, asking.
"Sasuke, are you interested too?" Naruto Uzumaki asked, somewhat surprised.
Sasuke Uchiha didn't answer his question but looked at Sasame with anticipation. He was thinking of the Mangekyō Sharingan at that moment. If he wished to awaken his eyes, would it come true?
"Any wish can be granted," Sasame smiled slightly and nodded.
"Wow!" Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened, drooling slightly. "Then I'll have unlimited Ichiraku Ramen from now on!"
Sasuke Uchiha twitched his lips. What kind of wish is that? So wasteful.You might as well let me have that wish. I'll pay for all the Ichiraku Ramen in the future. He was quite wealthy, after all.
"Teacher, can I be the one to open it?" Sasuke Uchiha ignored Naruto Uzumaki's wish and asked.
"You can," Sasame waved his hand nonchalantly. He secretly thought, He's fallen into the trap, as expected.
Hinata Hyuga showed no reaction to this. She had no particular wish. Even if she did, it had largely already come true. Naruto Uzumaki, however, was a bit disappointed that the opportunity was taken from him. But since it was Sasuke Uchiha, he didn't mind giving way. So he quickly returned to his energetic self.
"Teacher, what are the mission details?" Hinata Hyuga asked. Her two teammates didn't seem to care much about the specifics. She was still a traditional ninja.
"The place you're going is called Hozuki Castle, an isolated island prison surrounded by sea, situated on a cliff," Sasame casually picked up a piece of intel. "The Box of Ultimate Bliss is within Hozuki Castle, but its exact location is known only to one person: the castle lord of Hozuki Castle, the Hidden Grass Village's Jonin, Mui."
"Will he tell us?" Sasuke Uchiha frowned and asked.
"Naturally not," Sasame shook his head. The reason Mui served as the castle lord of Hozuki Castle was to facilitate his actions. He specifically used the chakra of ninja prisoners to feed the Box of Ultimate Bliss, hoping to open it and revive his son, Muku. In the original work, after absorbing Naruto Uzumaki's Nine-Tails chakra, he finally achieved his goal. But unfortunately, the revived Muku had been possessed by a monster. In fact, the Box of Ultimate Bliss, a so-called omnipotent wish-granting machine, was a deception. No matter what wish was made, it would ultimately release a monster named Satori.
Satori possessed two abilities: one was immortality, and the other was emotion reading. It was somewhat similar to a mind-reading jutsu; it could easily detect an enemy's emotions and use them to predict their actions. This meant that when fighting it, one couldn't overthink things. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to hit it. These two abilities were clearly derived from Yin Release. Sasame's reason for having Sasuke Uchiha open the Box of Ultimate Bliss was also for this reason. If he absorbed it, he might awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan. But he didn't know if he could handle it. Additionally, Sasame was very curious to know if this thing was truly a divine tool left by the Sage of Six Paths.
"Are we just going to capture Mui directly?" Sasuke Uchiha asked again.
"No," Sasame made up a reason. "Hozuki Castle and Konoha are in a friendly cooperative relationship. We can't act rashly against Mui; it would damage our reputation." This wasn't entirely a lie. Hozuki Castle was a prison commissioned by various countries, essentially an international prison. And Mui did maintain a good relationship with Konoha Village.
"Then let's go have a chat with this old man," Naruto Uzumaki said with a bright smile. "Now that Teacher Sasame is so amazing, he'll definitely give us face." Sasame glanced at him. Such words were likely taught by Minato Namikaze or Kushina Uzumaki. But unfortunately, they wouldn't be very useful. Mui would never hand over the Box of Ultimate Bliss, as it concerned his son's life. If it didn't involve Muku, he might have chosen to give up due to Sasame's and Konoha's strength.
"Do you think Teacher's 'face' is that easy to use?" Sasame retorted. "Besides, this is your mission. You can't just do nothing, can you?"
"I guess not," Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head.
"Alright," Sasame clapped his hands and arranged, "Only prisoners can enter Hozuki Castle, so you'll have to disguise yourselves as prisoners."
"No problem!" Naruto Uzumaki pumped his fist, asking with enthusiasm, "When do we depart?"
"No need to depart," Sasame's lips curved into a smile. "I'll just tie you and Sasuke up and send you to Hozuki Castle."
"Huh?" Naruto Uzumaki was stunned. Is that how missions are done?
Sasuke Uchiha, on the other hand, was relatively calm. He had already guessed as much, so he wasn't surprised. Since they were prisoners, they would naturally be escorted to Hozuki Castle by Konoha. But why wasn't Hinata Hyuga included? Sasuke Uchiha pouted. He felt he had discovered Sasame's true nature: he was biased towards girls. But he said nothing. Ever since Sasame brought back Mikoto Uchiha and the others, Sasuke Uchiha had felt quite grateful to him.
"W-what do I do?" Hinata Hyuga looked up, a little flustered. Since it didn't involve her, she thought she was being excluded.
"Don't worry, your mission is quite important," Sasame noticed the uneasiness in her eyes. "You have the Byakugan. To find the Box of Ultimate Bliss, you'll be the only one who can do it."
"O-okay," Hinata Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile appearing on her face.
"Sasuke, and Naruto, your missions are very important," Sasame instructed. "After entering the prison, you must try to break out and explore Hozuki Castle to determine the possible location of the Box of Ultimate Bliss."
"Teacher Sasame, don't worry!" Naruto Uzumaki patted his chest. "Mission complete, guaranteed!" Although Sasuke Uchiha didn't speak, his face conveyed the same meaning. In their eyes, a mere Jonin from the Hidden Grass Village was nothing to brag about. Especially since their own strength was no longer inferior to a Jonin's.
"You two go prepare. Someone will come find you in a couple of days." Sasame didn't warn them about Mui. How to put it? It's good to temper their arrogance. Mui, as a key character in the movie, was not weak. Especially his Fire Release, which was similar to a sealing jutsu. It should give Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki a lot of trouble. He wondered if the two of them could successfully escape. If not, Sasame would have to step in. Anyway, both of them had the Flying Thunder God mark on them, so they wouldn't die.
"Big Brother Sasame," Hinata Hyuga didn't leave. She subtly tugged at the corner of her clothes with her fingers, looked at him, and asked, "Do I need to go to Hozuki Castle with them?"
"No," Sasame looked at her, then rose and walked beside her. He ruffled her hair. "You just follow me."
"Okay!" Hinata Hyuga's eyes brightened slightly, her voice a little cheerful. Missions weren't important; just being with Sasame was enough.
"Big Brother Sasame, I heard Mother say that you're taking Hanabi as your adopted sister?" Hinata Hyuga turned her head, no longer meeting his gaze, lest too many emotions be revealed.
"You're not happy?" Sasame reached out, pinched her soft cheek, and asked with a half-smile.
"No," Hinata Hyuga's cheeks flushed, and she waved her hand, a little lacking in confidence.
"Hanabi is your sister, so of course she's my sister too," Sasame's right hand moved up, his fingers twirling her bangs. "You don't need to worry; it won't affect us."
Hinata Hyuga bravely looked at him, but quickly lowered her head again, finally whispering a soft "Hmm." Actually, she wasn't jealous of Hanabi Hyuga. Rather, she was a little confused. If Sasame became Hanabi's brother, wouldn't he become her own brother? In that case, could they still get married? Hinata Hyuga's worrying mood finally improved after she confirmed this. However, for her, being noticed by Sasame was still too embarrassing. Her face was flushed, her head lowered, wishing she could press her face against her chest. A faint steam seemed to rise from her head.
"Hinata, has anyone ever told you that you're very cute?" Sasame stared at her for a long while. Hearing this, Hinata Hyuga's mind went blank, and she instinctively almost fainted. Fortunately, Sasame quickly supported her waist. But feeling the warmth in his embrace, she rolled her eyes and directly lost consciousness.
"..." Sasame wanted to say something but couldn't. He didn't mean to! He hadn't expected Hinata Hyuga to still faint after so long together. Hmm, not enough training. Needs more.
Sasame picked up her small body and sent her back to the Hyuga clan. Afterward, he went to the Land of Waves Daimyō's palace.
"Sasame," Uzumaki Ena put down her work when she saw him and rushed to his side. "Is something wrong?"
"Can't I come see you if nothing's wrong?" Sasame asked playfully.
"Of course you can," Uzumaki Ena glanced at him, her expression a little resentful. She clearly hadn't meant that. Sasame couldn't help but kiss her forehead. "To make up for it." Uzumaki Ena immediately smiled.
"Good girl," Sasame reached out and caressed her delicate face. "I plan to go to the Hidden Grass Village." Uzumaki Ena was startled. The Hidden Grass Village was now a quite unfamiliar term to her. Ever since Sasame rescued her, she hadn't heard of it again. But she still hadn't forgotten the scenes of her life in the Hidden Grass Village. To this day, they were her nightmare. If not for Sasame, she would probably be dead.
"What are you going there for?" Uzumaki Ena took half a step forward, leaning into his embrace. Only then did she feel fearless. Sasame patted her back, his eyes gentle, and said, "To get revenge." Uzumaki Ena looked up, noticing his indulgent expression, and couldn't help but blush.
"Even if I don't act, with your current strength, there are almost no ninjas in the Hidden Grass Village who can threaten you," Sasame pressed his forehead against hers. "You can kill them all." Uzumaki Ena subconsciously widened her eyes. Kill them all? She had actually had this thought before. But because she lacked the strength, she could only bury it deep in her heart. Later, her entire being was focused on Sasame, and thoughts of revenge gradually faded. Now, being suddenly brought up, Uzumaki Ena immediately felt something stir.
"Just kill the ninjas who treated me badly," she was a bit like Naruto Uzumaki, kind by nature, and wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Although in Sasame's opinion, ninjas weren't exactly "innocent." Most ninjas had killed people before.
"Okay," Sasame smiled. "You can do whatever you want."
"Thank you," Uzumaki Ena instinctively hugged him tighter.
"What's there to thank?" Sasame rubbed her head. "It's been so many years, and I only just thought of letting you get your revenge. I should be apologizing to you."
"No, it's nothing," Uzumaki Ena said shyly. "After leaving the Hidden Grass Village, I've been very happy. Revenge isn't that important to me, actually."
"You're blushing, you know," Sasame pinched her chin, observing her from side to side. Uzumaki Ena instinctively wanted to lower her head, but couldn't, so she could only meet his gaze, letting him admire her. Her delicate face grew redder and redder, like a ripened apple, with a faint sheen glistening on its surface. Sasame nodded with satisfaction. Uzumaki Ena had always held a special place in his heart. Probably because he could easily control her. Men, after all, had their dignity. And Uzumaki Ena's gentleness and responsiveness allowed Sasame to feel that dignity anytime, anywhere. Although Mikoto Uchiha had been added now, the two were different. One was active, the other passive. Sasame lowered his head, biting that soft, red jade. Immediately, a sweetness seemed to moisten his taste buds. Uzumaki Ena's eyes were hazy, looking at him with endless affection and fondness. For her, Sasame was her whole life. Her daughter, Karin, was merely of equal importance.
Night rolled on. The birds outside the window were startled by the layered sounds.
A new day. Sasame opened his eyes and saw Uzumaki Ena, who had already woken up.
"Hmm... Good morning... because I feel energetic..."
"Good morning, you seem pretty energetic too," Sasame rested his head on his hands, smiling at her, doing nothing else. An hour later, Uzumaki Ena looked tired and said, a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry."
"Get some good rest," Sasame wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Okay," Uzumaki Ena closed her eyes, and soon her breathing became steady as she fell into a deep sleep.
Sasame got dressed, stretched, and opened the door.
"Pervert! Die!" Tayuya suddenly appeared behind him. Sasame turned around, grabbed her fist directly, and looking at her flushed face, said, "Eavesdropping on adults is not the behavior of a good child."
"Who's eavesdropping?!" Tayuya glared at him. "I came to call Aunt Ena for breakfast!"
"She already ate; no need to eat again," Sasame released her fist, his tone flat.
"Ate?" Tayuya was startled, a little unable to understand.
"Now is not the time to talk about this," Sasame picked her up in one arm, raised his hand, and said, "This is today's punishment."
Smack!
Tayuya's face turned beet red. He actually spanked her butt?
"Bastard! You pervert! I'll kill you!" she cursed furiously. But Sasame's heart was as hard as iron, and eventually, Tayuya's eyes welled up with tears from the pain.
