324. Chapter 319: Wanting a Full Meal Counts as a Wish, Right?

"Shen-kun!"

Zhenzi's tear-stained appearance instantly ignited the long-suppressed anger in Seeing Shenhuo's heart. The gate on the Box of Ultimate Bliss, which radiated an ominous aura, was definitely a place with no return. He immediately lit his palms with pale blue light and slapped toward the guard who was escorting the girl.

"Blast Palm!"

A strike from Seeing Shenhuo in his anger, even a captain-level ninja, would have to avoid its edge. But these guards clearly didn't reach the captain level.

"Bang!"

"Thud~"

And so, before they could even scream, their hearts were exploded by the ghostly Seeing Shenhuo. A moment later, only three living people remained in the venue.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Protecting the panicked Zhenzi behind him, Seeing Shenhuo faced the cold-faced elder. As time passed, this familiar scene made the three people present feel a mix of emotions.

"Seeing Shenhuo, you shouldn't have come."

The elder looked at Seeing Shenhuo's stubborn eyes and sighed slightly. He had always cultivated this young man as his disciple, not only bringing him out of the chakra training camp that only went in and never came out, but also teaching him many secret techniques of the Grass Hidden Style.

"Elder, I'm sorry, Zhenzi is a person more important than my life."

Slowly reaching for his sword, even though the two were now standing on opposite sides, Seeing Shenhuo still respected the elder quite a bit. If it weren't for this old man, he and Zhenzi would have long starved to death on the street, becoming food in the mouths of other refugees. So when he drew his sword, his face carried a thick sense of apology.

"Boom..."

"Sigh... you just cut off your last chance of survival."

The elder had lived for so many years and had seen all kinds of separations, joys, sorrows, and hatreds, so he was not moved by the bonds between Seeing Shenhuo and Zhenzi. His expression remained cold. After hearing the impatient craving sound from the Box of Ultimate Bliss, he shook his head with some regret and said something that made the two feel inexplicable.

"Elder, you are old, you might not be my opponent."

Seeing Shenhuo, who had just been promoted to an elite captain not long ago, had strong confidence in his strength. In his view, the elder, who was already like a candle in the wind, was not an opponent for a young man like him.

"Move aside, Elder, I don't want to hurt you."

Waving the sword in his hand and performing a beautiful sword flower, Seeing Shenhuo's tone carried a faint threat. He had used thunderous momentum to kill several fully armed guards just now to deter the elder and make him retreat.

"If you hadn't killed them just now, maybe there would still be a way to survive."

The elder was unmoved by Seeing Shenhuo's threat, instead looking at the guards who had fallen to the ground and lost their breath with some sighing. If these people were still alive, they could completely replace the woman named Zhenzi. But because of the young man's impulsiveness, someone had to become a sacrifice for the Box of Ultimate Bliss at this moment.

"Don't think about having anyone come to support. I've already knocked out all the combatants outside. No one will come again for a short time."

To ensure the safety of his actions, Seeing Shenhuo used his status to knock out and tie up the few colleagues who came to guard, thinking that if Zhenzi really encountered any danger, he would forcibly take people and flee far away.

"You young people are still too impatient."

Seeing Shenhuo's rebellious behavior disappointed the elder greatly. His turbid eyeballs carried a strange color, staring at the two until they felt hairy in their hearts.

"Clang~"

Knowing that if he delayed for a while, his chance of escape would be less, Seeing Shenhuo couldn't care about the unease in his heart. He waved his sword and killed toward the elder who was standing blankly.

"Shen-kun!"

Seeing Seeing Shenhuo's sharp sword wind about to slash the old man, Zhenzi's childhood memories surged. This old man, like a kind father, had truly saved her and Shen-kun who were on the verge of death. No matter what, they couldn't draw swords against the old man who had the grace of saving their lives.

"Don't worry, I won't kill him, at most make him faint for a while."

Seeing Shenhuo, who used a sword-back attack, didn't really have the intention to hurt the old man, at most knock him out so they could take the opportunity to escape.

"Seeing Shenhuo, I'll give you one last lesson..."

Facing the sharp sword wind, the elder didn't dodge. Instead, he slowly raised a large hand full of wrinkles. As the flame-like red light lit up, he said in a very cold voice,

"Don't be soft-hearted toward anyone who blocks your way."

The next moment, Seeing Shenhuo, who was swinging his sword, felt his whole body in pain as if being roasted by fire. The chakra he had just refined instantly disappeared, and the dry meridians didn't have a trace of vitality. Unable to bear the piercing pain, he fell to the ground in embarrassment, making bursts of painful wails.

"Ah~ Ah~ Ah!"

"Shen-kun!"

The sudden change made Zhenzi, who was already concerned, scream. She stumbled and ran to Seeing Shenhuo's side, checking his situation. As a result, she found that red patterns like tracks appeared out of thin air on the young man's skin, radiating a scorching aura.

"This is..."

Seeing Shenhuo, who felt that even breathing was a bit difficult, struggled to prop up his head, looking at the old man with red light dissipating in his hands. The doubt in his eyes couldn't be dissipated for a long time.

"Seeing Shenhuo, if you had endured for a few more years, maybe you would have been qualified to learn this move."

【Fire Style: Heavenly Prison】

This move was a secret technique unique to the elder's lineage, hitting a chain that bound chakra into the enemy's body, limiting their chakra refining, and at the same time making them lose their fighting ability.

"Umm..."

Seeing Shenhuo, who didn't expect the old man to have a hidden hand, had a face full of unwillingness. He wanted to say something, but couldn't open his mouth no matter what. But at this moment, the two had already torn their faces, and the friendship between master and apprentice in the past had already vanished when the conflict just started.

"Elder! Please let Shen-kun go, I am willing to go in!"

Unable to bear seeing Seeing Shenhuo suffer, Zhenzi wiped the tears on her face, stood up, and smiled miserably.

"No! Zhenzi..."

Seeing Shenhuo, hearing this, struggled to crawl up, but the flame-like chains on his body tortured his expression into ferocity.

"Elder, as long as you can let Zhenzi go, I am willing to do anything!"

It was another familiar scene. After hearing this, the elder's brain suddenly popped out a dirty butt, and his mood suddenly became unpleasant.

"Seeing Shenhuo, if you want her to live, go in."

An ungrateful white-eyed wolf, leaving him behind is also a disaster, it's better to let him exert his residual heat and contribute to the rise of the Land of Grass.

"..."

Seeing Shenhuo paused when he heard this, looked at the pitch-black gate on the Box of Ultimate Bliss, nodded without any hesitation.

"Elder, please keep your promise, don't hurt Zhenzi."

"Hmph! As long as the Box of Ultimate Bliss is successfully opened, I don't have the heart to care about a hairy girl."

The elder snorted coldly, showing thick disdain. Once the Box of Ultimate Bliss was opened, their Land of Grass would rule the ninja world again, so there would be no heart to care about these stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

"Good!"

Hearing the elder's words, Seeing Shenhuo's heart relaxed. He looked down at the girl with tears in her eyes, stroked her head,

"Zhenzi, you must take care of yourself when I'm not here, don't go hungry."

"Shen-kun, don't!"

The girl who felt the young man's determination hugged his waist, tears streaming down like money.

"Ah ah ah ah~ lighter, it's going to break!"

Almost broken at the waist by the girl's slender arms, Seeing Shenhuo screamed and patted the girl's back, signaling her to let go of him.

"Ah! Sorry, Shen-kun."

Seeing Seeing Shenhuo looking like he was breathing more than he was breathing out, the girl hurriedly let go, her small face couldn't help but blush slightly.

"Hoo~ Why is your strength getting bigger and bigger? But I'm relieved. If anyone bullies you in the future, just give them a lightning cannon."

Seeing Shenhuo, who was panting, looked like he had survived a disaster, sighed, and patted the girl's shoulder, saying.

"Shen-kun..."

Looking at Seeing Shenhuo who was taken down by her move, a bold thought suddenly popped into Zhenzi's mind.

Glancing at the Box of Ultimate Bliss radiating a cold aura, Zhenzi started at zero frames, raised her leg fiercely, and gave Seeing Shenhuo, who was about to say some last words, a lightning cannon.

Crack!

Note: The sound of an egg breaking~

"Ah!!!"

Suddenly struck, Seeing Shenhuo instantly turned red, covered his crotch, and started rolling on the ground. The elder, who was also a male, saw this scene. Even though his own eggs had long been in disrepair, he couldn't help but turn pale and subconsciously covered his crotch.

"Shen-kun, sorry, who told you to be an idiot."

The girl smiled indifferently at Seeing Shenhuo who couldn't get up.

"Zhenzi, what do you want to do?"

"Gulu~"

"Sigh... Shen-kun, you said if you die hungry, will you become a hungry ghost?"

Gently stroking Seeing Shenhuo's head, the girl stood up, touched her hungry belly with regret, and then jumped resolutely with her back to the gate of the Box of Ultimate Bliss, freezing her last appearance in Seeing Shenhuo's gray eyes.

"No!!!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With the offering of the last sacrifice, the Box of Ultimate Bliss made a satisfied groan, and a black gas containing a destructive aura rose suddenly, as if the end of the world was about to come.

"It's done! It's done!"

Seeing this scene, the elder's iceberg-like old face showed an excited expression for the first time, trembling and controlling the Box of Ultimate Bliss that was full, waiting for the moment to make a wish.

"Zhenzi!"

Seeing Shenhuo, who was lying on the ground on the side, shouted miserably. His heart had been swallowed by regret, and he barked helplessly.

"Stop shouting, becoming a sacrifice is her honor. In the future, when the Land of Grass rules the ninja world, I will engrave her name on the monument."

Compared to ruling the ninja world, Seeing Shenhuo, this guy, was irrelevant. Anyway, he had been controlled by the Heavenly Prison and couldn't make any waves. Let him witness the rise of the Land of Grass before he died!

"Boom... Boom..."

The elder waited quietly for the opening of the Box of Ultimate Bliss. Accompanied by a boom, the Box of Ultimate Bliss slowly retracted the black gas that had escaped. The pitch-black gate still radiated a cold aura, as if waiting for something.

"Finally waited for me!"

The elder, who felt something in his heart, raised his hands excitedly, rushed toward the pitch-black gate in front of him, and shouted.

"Box of Ultimate Bliss! Please let our Land of Grass become the... of this world again!"

"Gulu~"

"The... of the world..."

"Gulu~ Gulu~"

"Umm... whose belly is grumbling?!"

The process of making a wish was interrupted several times by the strange grumbling sound. The frustrated elder turned his head, scanned the whole scene, trying to find the guy who was spoiling the scenery.

"Not me."

As one of the only two living people in the field, Seeing Shenhuo shook his head subconsciously, and his heart was also very confused.

This sound of the belly grumbling, why is it so familiar?

"Bada~ Bada~"

Seeing the grumbling sound disappear, the elder, who knew which was light and which was heavy, prepared to continue making a wish, when a harsh sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in his ears.

The elder, who felt something in his heart, immediately moved his gaze to the source of the sound, and saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.

"Zhenzi?!"

Seeing Shenhuo also moved his gaze over, only to hear him scream, his tone full of joy.

"Bada~ Bada~"

Only to see a beautiful figure slowly walking out of that gate of the Box of Ultimate Bliss, her clean little feet stepping on the cold ground, making a bada-bada sound.

After the girl walked out, the Box of Ultimate Bliss, which had just been active, instantly fell into dead silence. No matter how the elder called, there was no response.

"How is it possible? What did you do?"

The elder extended his hand tremblingly, with a look of thick surprise on his usually cold face.

"Zhenzi!"

Seeing Shenhuo didn't know the horror of the Box of Ultimate Bliss. In his eyes, there was only the girl who had been lost and regained. Overjoyed, he struggled to stand up and ran toward the silent girl.

"Don't go over there!"

However, the elder's explosion stopped Seeing Shenhuo's steps abruptly.

"It's not her!"

With a gloomy look on his face, the elder examined the quiet girl for a while, and said coldly.

"Ha?"

Clearly a living person standing in front of him, how could he be mistaken? Seeing Shenhuo ignored the elder's warning and continued to take steps. As a result, a hoarse gibberish made the foot he extended stop in mid-air.

"Eat... eat..."

The girl who returned from the gate, after being quiet for a moment, suddenly split her mouth, revealing a strange smile, and then in the shocked eyes of the two, flashed to the side of the guard's corpse who had been killed by Seeing Shenhuo, and the red light in her cold eyes flourished.

"Zhenzi, what do you want to do?"

The girl named Zhenzi was unmoved by Seeing Shenhuo's call. Facing the bloody corpse on the ground, a black mist escaped from it, instantly wrapping the guard who had lost his breath.

Seeing Shenhuo and the elder, whose faces were iron-blue, felt a chill in their hearts at the same time.

"Umm..."

It was just a blink of an eye. The naive appearance didn't make the two people present feel pleasing to the eye, but instead had a kind of deep fear.

"Elder! What is going on?"

Seeing Shenhuo gritted his teeth and questioned the elder.

"Impossible, the ancestors never recorded such a thing..."

The elder didn't bother to answer Seeing Shenhuo's question. With his brows tightly knit, he only cared about why the Box of Ultimate Bliss failed.

"Forget it, let's take you down first!"

The girl who walked out of the Box of Ultimate Bliss was the only clue now. The elder didn't hesitate anymore, raised his red-glowing palms, released the Heavenly Prison Jutsu toward Zhenzi, and awakened the restraint that had long been planted in her body.

"Zila~ Zila~"

But the result made the elder's glasses fall off. Only to see chains-like patterns appearing on the girl's body, but they were soon swallowed by the black mist escaping from her skin. No matter how he urged, the Heavenly Prison Jutsu had no movement.

"What kind of monster are you?"

Since the girl came out, the elder had never regarded her as a normal human being. The behavior just now, and ignoring his Heavenly Prison Jutsu, directly made the elder expel her from the human race and classify her as a monster.

"Eat... eat..."

As if hearing the elder's scolding, the girl who narrowed her eyes slowly turned her head, and her scarlet eyes instantly locked onto him.

"What do you want to do?"

Although Zhenzi's eyes were very terrifying now, the elder, who had absolute confidence in his strength, didn't retreat, but glared back.

"Whoosh~"

The hungry Zhenzi didn't tolerate the elder's stinky temper. This food in front of her actually dared to glare at her. She decided to taste it first, and her beautiful figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Ah!"

Seeing Zhenzi disappear, the elder immediately formed seals with one hand, posing in a posture of being ready for battle. As a result, he felt a flower in front of his eyes, and then a piercing pain came from his arm. Looking down, the hand he was using to form seals was actually gone. The severe pain made him scream.

"Eat..."

Zhenzi, who flashed to a place not far away, held the bloody arm in her hand, and the black mist spat out from her mouth again, swallowing it.

"Monster..."

Enduring the pain and stopping the bleeding for himself, a flash of dread crossed the elder's eyes. He really wanted to figure out what the origin of this monster wearing a human skin was.

"Eat... eat..."

As if she only knew how to say the word "eat", the girl, after tasting the elder's arm, locked her gaze onto him again, her pink tongue licking her full lips, her eyes full of craving for food.

"Not good!"

The elder's heart tightened, and he couldn't care about hiding his clumsiness. With his only remaining hand raised, red light flashed, and the combatants on duty outside suddenly felt a burst of dryness and heat in their bodies.

"Ah? What's going on?"

The combatants with lower levels were panicked, thinking they had been hit by the enemy's dark calculations.

"Not good, go to the elder's side quickly!"

A few old qualifications who knew the Heavenly Prison Jutsu, seeing the chains emerging on their bodies, immediately felt a chill in their hearts. This was the signal left by the elder; he was in danger.

"Bang! Bang! ~"

Accompanied by a noisy sound of footsteps, the combatants on duty were all in place. Among them, a few combatants with bad faces pointed to Seeing Shenhuo in the field and said loudly.

"Seeing Shenhuo, why did you ambush us?"

"That's right, that's right~"

"You guy, wouldn't you want to be a defector?"

"Shut up! Take her down for me first!"

The elder, who had only one hand left, shouted coldly to stop the chattering combatants, pointed to Zhenzi on the side, and ordered.

"Ah? Elder, how did you get such a serious injury?"

Only then did the combatants discover that the elder, who had always been as stable as Mount Tai, had actually broken an arm.

"Yes!"

Everyone didn't dare to delay, pulled out their weapons one after another, and surrounded the silent Zhenzi.

"Do it!"

Everyone looked at each other tacitly and rushed up all at once.

"Don't!"

Seeing Shenhuo, who was restrained by the Heavenly Prison Jutsu, could only bark helplessly on the side, his hateful gaze as if he wanted to swallow the elder.

"What is this?"

"Ah!"

However, facing the aggressive combatants, Zhenzi grinned happily instead. The black mist in her mouth instantly filled the whole scene. After a short period of confusion, everyone was entangled by the black mist, followed by fearful screams.

The elder on the side witnessed all this, his face black as dripping water. This monster born from the Box of Ultimate Bliss must have her unique features. Regarding the rise of the Land of Grass, he must study her clearly.

"What are you afraid of, continue to go up!"

The combatants who went up in the first wave left no traces other than screams. The people behind were so scared that they stood on the spot and looked at each other, not daring to continue to go up. Seeing this, the elder slowly raised his hand, and the scorching aura made the remaining combatants swallow their saliva subconsciously.

"Zhenzi!"

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Seeing Shenhuo, who had been offline for a long time, stumbled toward Zhenzi. Seeing this, the combatants turned their eyes to the elder, waiting for his order.

"No need to care, let him go."

So the combatants gave way to a path, and Seeing Shenhuo walked slowly to Zhenzi's side with a look of sadness on his face.

"Eat... eat..."

Facing the food delivered to his door, Zhenzi tilted her head and slowly opened her mouth, preparing to enjoy a delicious meal.

"Zhenzi, sorry..."

Sensing that he was locked by a terrifying aura, Seeing Shenhuo showed a bitter smile, raised his hand with effort, and gently stroked the girl's hair.

"Eat... eat... Shen... kun..."

The familiar caress made the girl with scarlet eyes produce a trace of wavering. The elder was also attracted by this scene, and his turbid eyeballs rolled between the two.

"Zhenzi..."

"Eat... Shen-kun..."

Only to see the girl's body begin to tremble violently, and the black aura in her mouth was faintly tinged with a bit of dark red. After taking a deep look at the young man who was at a loss, Zhenzi's body softened, and the whole person collapsed into his arms.

"Elder, what should we do now?"

The cannibal girl suddenly fainted, and the remaining combatants had to ask for the elder's order.

"Send them to the prison and lock them up separately."

After pondering for a while, the elder said coldly.

"Yes!"

After locking Zhenzi in the prison, the elder first built a pair of shackles with the strongest materials in the Land of Grass, and then applied several seals on the girl, which barely controlled the girl's riot.

After all the preparations were done, the elder carried his seriously injured body and carried out detailed research. As a result, he found that the girl had to eat a large amount of fresh flesh and blood every day, otherwise the escaping black mist would crazily erode the seals he had placed.

After the seal was lifted, the girl dragged the shackles and began to destroy wantonly, attacking the researchers on the scene. Every time it reached this time, Seeing Shenhuo, who was locked on the side, became very useful. As long as he was brought in front of the rioting girl, this cannibal monster would fall into a short silence, and the elder could take the opportunity to re-apply the seal.

This use indirectly saved Seeing Shenhuo's life, but also became a kind of torture to his soul.

Just when Seeing Shenhuo thought that such days would have no end, a huge coup occurred in the high-level of the Grass ninja clan. The one-armed elder was defeated by the latecomers and was slapped on the beach by the waves. He, who died without solving the mystery of the Box of Ultimate Bliss, went to the Pure Land with regret.

At the moment of the elder's death, Seeing Shenhuo, who was numb in the prison, felt his body light, and the restraint of the Heavenly Prison Jutsu disappeared. But because of his years of prison life, he had long become a useless person and couldn't escape the cage at all.

But Zhenzi was different. As soon as the elder died, the seal on her body was soon worn away by the black mist. Without restraint, she devoured everyone in the prison except Seeing Shenhuo, and then disappeared into the darkness.

Not long after, the new leader of the Grass ninjas relaxed the guard on Seeing Shenhuo, giving him an opportunity to secretly recover. On a dark and windy night, he successfully killed the jailer and escaped from the prison.

Seeing Shenhuo, who was worried about the girl, looked at the road ahead with a blank look, picked up a tattered sword on the side of the road, and started his journey to find his wife.

Walking from the west end of the Land of Grass to the east, the young man changed from a handsome guy to a bearded and embarrassed uncle, until he wandered all the way to a town in the Land of Fire and heard rumors about cannibal ghosts circulating in the town, which reignited his hope.

Looking at the anxious old mayor in front of him, the thin Seeing Shenhuo stroked the tattered sword at his waist and spoke slowly.

"My name is Fire God! I am a ninja from the Land of Grass. I heard you have a mission to entrust?"

Ps: Finally, this small side story is almost written. Some people say I'm watering the text. How could I, who is diligent and conscientious, water the text?
