The Ninja World's Chaos is Qingwu's Call, Blooming in Many Directions

At the same time, in the Land of Hot Water.

In a certain mysterious space: "What are you?!... You... don't come any closer!"

Void laughed with a strange, grating sound: "Hehehe~ Come now... Lord Jashin, join me... become my food... become a part of me~"

Jashin looked at the hunger-filled gaze of the other party, his heart cursing silently: You call this 'joining you'? You're trying to swallow me whole! Where did this beast come from? He's even more of a monster than Otsutsuki Hagoromo; he doesn't even want to leave me a scrap!

Yet, where could he retreat to? He couldn't help but reveal a look of utter despair. Damn you, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, I curse your ancestors! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in this state?

If the Sage of Six Paths knew, he would surely be speechless: Even if I drained your essence, didn't I leave you a breath of life and a chance to resurrect? Although it was just to harvest you like leeks, it's better to live miserably than to die. He, on the other hand, wants to eat you and kill you completely.

You're cursing me?!

Where are your manners?

Feeling the massive influx of negative energy into his body, Void became even happier: "Yes, yes, yes~ Delicious... that's it, the more you hate me, the happier I am... my little Jashin baby... hehehe~"

Jashin: "Yamete..."

Qingwu was speechless: "Am I really that perverted?"

Void: "Hehehe~ Believe me, you are. I am you, after all~"

Qingwu: "..."

"Ahhh~"

The screams continued until there was no sound left.

Finally, in the mysterious space: "Hehehe~ From today on, I am Lord Jashin Void~"

"My believers, take the power I have bestowed upon you. Go forth and spread my faith! Holy War!!!"

And so, Void, wearing the shell of Jashin, issued a divine oracle.

He bestowed dark chakra upon the Jashin Cult followers in Yugakure, greatly enhancing their taijutsu strength and giving their ninjutsu more destructive and corrosive power, which made their faith turn fanatical.

"Omaigod~ What a powerful feeling..."

"Long live Lord Jashin!!!"

At the same time, the negative emotions generated by their battles and destruction could serve as nutrients to nourish the dark chakra, and upon their deaths, everything would return to Void. Yes, yes, a triple win. I win three times over~

The fanatical Jashin Cult followers obtained new power and began a path of frantic expansion; this was a holy war.

Among them, a believer named Hidan performed very well.

He was the most noticed by Jashin.

He received the most blessings.

It could be considered an unintended success.

An unexpected harvest.

Qingwu: "Hehe~ The Immortal Duo has become firewood; what a sin..."

Land of Birds.

The Sky Fortress was docked on the mountaintop.

"Perform debugging on all flight devices, then adapt to combat conditions in the shortest time possible..."

"Yes, Lord Shinnō~" the group of Sky Ninja responded in unison.

After they left.

The middle-aged man muttered: "I've finally mastered the Eight Inner Gates provided by the main body. The improved infinite regeneration suits it perfectly. I feel that after a few more days of integration, I could open the Gate of Death and not die..."

That's right, it was Nirvana who had taken it down.

At the time, he had come for the Zero-Tails and Void.

Qingwu had just used him as a practice dummy; after all, this guy had genuine medical talent, and there were some experiments he could perform.

Thus, the clone Shinnō was born.

The Demon Refining Pot, the boss, had an opinion: "Shinnō? This piece of trash, is he worthy?! Ptooey~"

However, Qingwu kept the name.

Just so he wouldn't forget his own origins.

The Demon Refining Pot had nothing more to say.

"Hoshigakure, I leave it to you, Lord Star~" The situation on Nirvana's side was also going well; he had already taken the Hoshigakure of the Land of Bears.

"Good, leave it to this old man; I'm familiar with this... I've managed it for so many years..." The old man opposite Nirvana nodded with a chuckle.

"Uh~ That's true, I forgot; you were the Third Hoshigakure in the past, hehe~" Only then did Nirvana remember that the Lord Star opposite him was once the Third Hoshigakure.

"Haha~ Even this old man didn't expect to have a second life, and to be able to accompany these children~" Lord Star didn't mind, looking at the village below the mountain with warmth and attachment.

Nirvana stretched and said his goodbyes: "Alright, I'm off. I still have to travel the Ninja World to help the main body complete its layout. Sigh~ a life of toil~"

"Good, this old man will also step up efforts on this side." Lord Star didn't try to keep him, knowing the main body had assigned tasks to all of them.

"Jana~"

Shortly after.

Lord Star abdicated.

"Akahoshi, from today on, you are the Fourth Hoshikage." He appointed Akahoshi as the Fourth Hoshikage, with Natsuhiboshi and Hotarubi as his assistants to control the Hoshigakure Anbu... Lord Star faded into the background~ after all, one can't rest even at over a hundred years old.

It was a coincidence, really.

Akahoshi and his two companions had rebelled because the Third Hoshikage banned the cultivation of the Star, ambushing and severely wounding the Third. Nirvana had caught them, discovered the Third Hoshikage's uniqueness, saved him via the Demon Refining Pot, and refined the Meteorite to create the clone, Lord Star.

(If you ask, it's similar to a reverse summoning technique, teleporting to Qingwu's small world, very convenient...)

As for why Akahoshi was chosen as the target? The reason was that not only could he serve as a smokescreen, but more importantly, this guy had both ambition and the courage to take risks.

After being brainwashed by Nirvana, and with the supervision of Lord Star, he couldn't stir up any trouble at all. In short, isn't an extra tool at one's disposal a good thing?

"Lord Third, rest assured, I will definitely work hard to build up our Hoshigakure and make the village surpass the Five Great Nations..." Akahoshi said fanatically.

Lord Star nodded: "Then this old man will go back to rest."

Inside, however, he sighed at how terrifying Kotoamatsukami truly was.

It was wicked to the point of being righteous.

Afterward, the old man, Lord Star, continued to study his Star.

"The Star is essentially a meteorite with strong radiation. It has no direct connection to the Ten-Tails."

"However, it possesses a special ability that can activate and enhance the power of chakra. Specifically, it allows chakra to manifest in various active forms, such as flight, attack, defense, and can even simulate animal forms for combat."

"This power is not without flaws. Prolonged contact and use of this power will erode the body, leading to the appearance of deformities."

"At the same time, it causes one to overdraw their life force, triggering organ failure and disease."

"But there are also some people with excellent physical constitutions who gradually adapt to this power through long-term use."

"As long as it is not overused, it will not cause harm to the body. The previous Third Hoshikage was such an example."

"He lived to be over a hundred years old, and Natsuhiboshi also possesses this special constitution."

Unexpectedly, he actually found a way.

Star Ninja Art, version 1.0.

He then handed it over to Akahoshi.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for you, my lord~" Having received the secret technique, Akahoshi became even more fanatical: "I have become stronger, I am growing stronger every moment. The secret technique given by Lord Third is too powerful."

Looking at Akahoshi, who was thanking him even after becoming a lab rat.

Lord Star felt a bit guilty, though he said: "Everything is for the future of Hoshigakure."

"Yes, yes, everything for the future of Hoshigakure."

Akahoshi echoed fanatically.

Akahoshi left to shine and heat for the village; if the Third was working so hard, how could he rest...

"You two, here is a secret technique. Practice it well and become stronger as soon as possible. Our future enemies are the Five Great Nations..."

"Wow~ Fourth..."

"Yes, Lord Akahoshi... what a terrifying secret technique... it can actually execute itself continuously..."

With Lord Star's permission, he even taught it to his two companions, and the three of them practiced together. Even if brainwashed, they still had their own selfish motives, prioritizing their own cohorts.

But it didn't matter.

Lord Star sighed: "What a good tool; he even finds his own companions... giving me more experimental data..."

Hate Sarutobi Hiruzen, understand Sarutobi Hiruzen, become Sarutobi Hiruzen; wearing a high hat and shouting slogans is really useful~

It was just weakening the radiation to form a seed, planted in Akahoshi's chakra turbine. Every time he circulated his chakra, he would be watering the seed, and the fluctuations emitted by the seed would slowly merge into the chakra, enhancing its activity and destructive power.

Although weak, it was persistent. One day, when the seed sprouted, Akahoshi's Star Ninja Art would reach completion, constantly generating active chakra and becoming a Kage-level combatant.

The moment he died.

The active chakra would return to Lord Star.

Just like harvesting leeks.

Lord Star (Qingwu): I never thought that one day, I would also walk the path of a shepherd, using all living things to nourish myself...
