Chapter 606: Kazuma Revived
Madara wouldn't transfer his own chakra to the Box of Ultimate Bliss, but he had other methods.
His ninjutsu knowledge was vast. He studied Hōzuki Castle's barrier seal and quickly found an unstable point. He used his Rinnegan's chakra absorption ability, manipulated the barrier, absorbed the prisoners' chakra, and then forcibly poured it all into the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
The absorbed chakra was extremely impure, but the quantity was sufficient.
The surface of the Box of Ultimate Bliss began to tremble slightly.
"Is this really a Treasured Tool of the Sage of Six Paths? How come I never knew about this?" Madara watched from a distance with his arms crossed.
Zetsu laughed grimly. "It's just the delusion of later generations."
The Box of Ultimate Bliss claimed to grant any wish, but looking at the evil aura surrounding it, the wish would certainly be twisted. Only a fool like Sora would place his hopes in it.
Sora stood before the box and shouted, "Box, open! Please, resurrect my father, Kazuma!"
A thick, purple, fog-like chakra rose from the square box. The four faces of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness slowly rotated. Finally, the angry face stopped in front of Sora. The box door slowly lowered, and a slightly frail figure hesitantly walked out.
Kazuma touched his neck. In a daze, he could still feel the coldness of the blade sliding across his throat.
I should be dead. Am I resurrected now?
"You are... Sora? You've grown up." He looked faintly at the young ninja monk.
Sora's lips trembled. The word "Father" was too foreign to him. He tried to speak several times but couldn't get it out.
He asked, trembling, "H-How did you die?"
Kazuma recalled. What was he doing at the time? Right, he was in the Land of Fire's capital, presenting the "Reincarnation Soil" to the Daimyo, preparing to resurrect Konoha's dead ninja at the village cemetery. And then...? The memory was hazy, as if behind a film. It took him a long time to remember. He was discovered by Konoha ninja, they fought a big battle, and then he was killed on the spot.
"I was killed by Konoha's Yamanaka Ino." He remembered this clearly. The Ino back then wasn't as famous as he was now, but at that time he had been promoted to Jonin as a Konoha rookie. No matter how you looked at it, he wasn't a minor character. Kazuma recognized that ninja.
"Yamanaka Ino!" Sora clenched his fists tightly. It was this woman who blew up the Fire Temple and blamed it on some Deidara! He never thought she would also be his father's killer. So vicious! What an evil woman!
Madara watched the show from afar. This Kazuma and Sora were just small fry in his eyes, trash that couldn't take two hits from him. When he suddenly heard Ino's name, he perked up instantly. He asked Zetsu: "Was it really that woman who killed him? Why would she bother killing trash like this?"
Zetsu actually didn't know about this. A minor character like Kazuma wasn't worth his time to monitor.
He had tricked Sora, telling him a Konoha ninja killed his dad. Looking at it now, hah? It was the truth! A Konoha ninja really did kill his dad!
He offered his analysis: "The Yamanaka clan has continued from the Warring States period. They often do shady things in the dark. Kazuma was always hostile to Konoha, so it's reasonable they fought. Facing the Rinnegan, this guy wouldn't have stood a chance. As for the reason? It's nothing more than 'profit' or something, right?"
Madara Uchiha looked down on the ninja world's squabbles over profit. He was a man who truly saw money as dirt. He snorted and was about to comment, but he suddenly noticed Kazuma's chakra skyrocketing.
Kazuma used to be about Asuma's level, a typical elite Jonin. But after walking out of the Box of Ultimate Bliss, his chakra was increasing at an exaggerated rate.
His face was covered in a black aura. "Asuma... Yamanaka Clan... Konoha!"
His original refinement and calmness quickly vanished. His eyes turned crimson, as if he had become a bloodthirsty demon.
"Father... what should we do?" Sora didn't know what this change meant, but he gathered his courage to ask.
"Hehehehe—" Kazuma's laugh was like nails on glass, extremely grating. "What to do... what to do? Right! Yes! Destroy Konoha! And while we're at it, hehe, let's kill all the ninja too. A bunch of trash!"
The moment the Box of Ultimate Bliss was opened at Hōzuki Castle, a pillar of light shot into the sky. Even though the prison was on a remote island, several nearby countries could see it. The news quickly spread to the five great ninja villages.
Iwagakure was the closest. The Third Tsuchikage immediately sent Kurotsuchi with a team to investigate.
Before the team even left the Land of Earth, even more shocking news arrived.
A motley crew of rabble had breached Kusagakure and raised a banner there, openly opposing the five great ninja villages, claiming they exploited the smaller villages and were the biggest tumor in the ninja world.
The reason they were called a motley crew was that their composition was extremely complex.
Ninja monks, samurai, rogue ninja, the remaining prisoners and some guards from Hōzuki Castle, plus some Kusagakure ninja who had surrendered. They even had mercenaries hired with money, like Kakuzu and Hidan. It was a hodgepodge of everyone.
Among them were those who wanted to plunder merchants, those who wanted to become mountain warlords, and those who just wanted to cause chaos before fleeing overseas.
In the midst of this chaos, one slogan was shouted particularly loudly: "For the sake of the people, Yamanaka Ino must die!"
"Achoo!" Ino sneezed, feeling that someone was cursing him. He highly suspected that person was Sakura!
He picked up his teacup and calmly walked into the Hokage's office.
Minato Namikaze had hurriedly convened the high-level staff for a meeting. Forces opposing the ninja villages had always existed, but they had never gathered such momentum. If you traced it back, the last time other professions banded together to fight ninja head-on was at the very beginning of the Warring States period.
Once the clan-based ninja got serious, these small fry were no match at all. After the villages were established, it was even more hopeless, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Now, the five great ninja villages were strong and well-equipped, pure military organizations. And someone was still jumping out to oppose them?
Minato first asked Ino: "What is the current situation in Kusagakure?"
The intelligence department had already gathered most of the information on these opponents. These days, infiltrating the Akatsuki or Kara was difficult, but poking around the "Axis of Evil" for news was just too easy.
This group upgrading from the "Axis of Evil" to the "Anti-Ino Axis of Evil" was infuriating.
Ino said: "The rebel army is led by the former ninja monk from the Fire Temple, Sora. The other core members include some samurai from the Land of Iron and rogue ninja from Sunagakure. They breached Hōzuki Castle and seem to have used some secret jutsu to resurrect Kazuma, one of the former Twelve Guardian Ninja. Someone saw Kazuma and said he looked gloomy and terrifying, like a demon."
