He had no intention of letting it drag him inside like Muko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata had noticed his sudden movement and looked up anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hinata,\" Kitazawa said, a thought flashing through his mind. \"Use your Byakugan. Look inside the Box of Paradise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded and activated her dōjutsu immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pale eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s... an extremely dense, very gloomy chakra inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa nodded; exactly what he’d expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If chakrafeltgloomy to a Hyūga, it was almost certainlypure Yin Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And only in such a suffocating Yin environment could a creature likeSatoribe born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything aligned with his earlier hypothesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forging two Yin-Release bows... letting Satori craft Yin arrows—allof it was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real hurdle was the sheer hardness of the Box itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he wanted to dismantle it for raw material or forge it into weapons, it would be a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t worried. He was a high-ranking Konoha official now—he could summon every blacksmith and tool craftsman in the village to brainstorm solutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he focused on learning the activation formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The segment Mui possessed wasn’t too difficult. It was only one-fifth of the whole and its function was limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, Itachi returned with four more scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa skimmed through each—the formulas matched Mui’s version with only slight deviations. None were difficult. Within half an hour, he had all five pieces memorized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the ritual required five people, the theory was simple:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>five shadow clones with sufficient chakra would work just as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Itachi,\" Kitazawa said, \"have the ANBU use Earth Release to move the Box—ground slab included—out to the open area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already confirmed the Box wasn’t rooted to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just unbelievably heavy. No wonder Itachi couldn’t move it alone. But with Earth Release, it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, fighting underground was unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Satori appeared, it would tear through this basement and the entire prison above. A mass prison break was the last thing he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Kitazawa-sama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi vanished with a short nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa led Hinata and the others outside while the ANBU worked. He continued practicing the remaining formula sequences as they walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, Hōzuki Castle shook faintly—the ANBU had hauled the enormous black mass up from the basement and into the open area near the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Opening the Box requires a massive amount of chakra,\" Kitazawa announced. \"All of you will inject your chakra when I give the signal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ANBU lined up. Twenty-four had gathered; four remained stationed around the prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa formed hand signs, splitting into four shadow clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around—and suddenly remembered Samehada.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sword could absorb chakra, but it could alsotransferit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It simply never had to, because Naruto never ran out of chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naruto, hand me Samehada.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto immediately unrolled a summoning scroll. Samehada appeared with a thud—and instantly wiggled toward Naruto, rubbing against him affectionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto grabbed its hilt and passed it to Kitazawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later,\" Kitazawa said, resting Samehada atop the Box, \"you’re going to giveallthe chakra you have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samehada froze like a dog realizing it’d just been tricked to the vet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare!\" Kitazawa barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four clones mirrored him, forming the same rapid sequence of hand signs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, intricate curse marks crawled over the Box’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A choking darkness erupted from within, swallowing the Box in a thick wave of Yin aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monolith shuddered—like a beast opening its jaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chakra—now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ANBU raised their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of chakra blasted into the Box like converging rivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samehada reluctantly opened its mouth, vomiting out a violent torrent of chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Box quaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding Yin aura intensified, heavy enough to weigh on their emotions. Anxiety, gloom, unease—it pressed down like winter fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step back!\" Kitazawa ordered. \"But do not stop the chakra flow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ANBU retreated while maintaining output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa and Itachi remained where they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the Yin aura didn’t have any corrosive effects—just emotional pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent burst of chakra exploded from the Box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black, visible chakra surged outward in ripples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the four carved faces cracked open—each revealing a narrow, yawning passage radiating pure Yin Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa snatched up Samehada and tossed it toward Naruto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto caught it—but stared at it in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samehada had shrunk noticeably, looking pitifully thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword trembled as Naruto fed it fresh chakra, immediately perking up again, wriggling happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A booming voice suddenly echoed across the entire island:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Born of enlightenment, moved by enlightenment, ended by enlightenment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Make a wish, and you shall have everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ANBU exchanged glances—none of them foolish enough to rush forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can it really grant wishes?\" Sasuke asked, staring at the ominous box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks... cursed,\" Neji muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t feel like making a wish anymore...\" Naruto admitted, unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke,\" Kitazawa said, after confirming the Box was fully open, \"step forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke hesitated only a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved between Kitazawa and Itachi—then looked up at his brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With me and Lord Kitazawa here,\" Itachi said, gently ruffling his hair, \"you’ll be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke took a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wish to awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Box replied instantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of black chakra spilled out, wrapping Sasuke like living tar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi activated his own Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange, foreign residue within the black chakra made him frown—Satori’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its intensity was well within his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to interfere.
