Hanzo of the Salamander is known as a "demigod" in the Shinobi World.

As the leader of Amegakure (the Amegakure), Hanzo of the Salamander usually operated in the shadows, and few people had ever seen his true face. However, even though few knew what Hanzo of the Salamander 'Hanzo of the Salamander true Hanzo of the Salamander was, his strength was universally acknowledged in the Shinobi World. During the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzo of the Salamander was truly a figure who stood at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, and many even compared him to powerful figures like the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, Hanzo of the Salamander Uchiha Madara.

In the original storyline familiar to Uchiha Yue, Hanzo of the Salamander is considered a powerful figure because of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru. Although Hanzo of the Salamander's appearances in the original story are few, he defeated three future powerhouses —Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru— when he did Hanzo of the Salamander. Furthermore, the names of these three figures were bestowed upon them by Tsunade. Therefore, while many in the Shinobi World may not know who Uchiha Madara Orochimaru, Jiraiya Hanzo of the Salamander First Hokage Senju Hashirama, are, almost everyone knows who Hanzo of the Salamander is.

The name Hanzo of the Salamander symbolizes the pinnacle of the Shinobi World.

Anyone who can defeat Hanzo of the Salamander, or remain undefeated against Hanzo of the Salamander, will surely have their name resound throughout the entire Shinobi World!

Therefore, when Uchiha Yue mentioned the name of Hanzo of the Hanzo of the Salamander Hoshigakure in front of him, the Hoshigakure ninja was almost convinced that Uchiha Yue was Hanzo of the Salamander's subordinate. What made the Hoshigakure ninja even more certain that Uchiha Yue was Hanzo of the Salamander was that Uchiha Yue knew the name of the Akatsuki organization. After all, very few people in the entire Shinobi World knew about the mysterious Akatsuki organization. Those who knew and understood this organization were Hanzo of the Hanzo of the Salamander from Amegakure.

Then, seeing the terrified look in the eyes of the Hoshigakure in front of him, Uchiha Yue began to use his own spiritual energy to influence the Hoshigakure ninja's spiritual energy.

Since Uchiha Yue absorbed the power of the Monster Ido, Uchiha Yue mastery of mental energy has reached a new level. Therefore, Uchiha Yue (Genjutsu techniques) to lower the guard of enemy ninjas during interrogation, allowing them to extract the information they need.

Right now, Uchiha Yue is using his mental energy to influence the mental energy of that Hoshigakure ninja, actually wanting to manipulate the Hoshigakure ninja's mental energy to extract the information he needs.

Soon, Uchiha Yue used his own spiritual energy to influence the spiritual energy of the Hoshigakure ninja in front of him.

Then, when the Hoshigakure ninja's eyes were somewhat glazed over, Uchiha Yue tentatively asked, "Are you a ninja from Hoshigakure?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's question, the Hoshigakure ninja, whose spiritual energy had already been affected by Uchiha Yue, answered without the slightest hesitation.

"Very good,"

Upon receiving the reply from the Hoshigakure ninja, Uchiha Yue nodded slightly and said, "Now I have some questions for you, and you need to answer them truthfully."

"My first question is, how many Jonin Chunin does your Hoshigakure have? Answer me!"

"I... we, the Hoshigakure."

Just as Uchiha Yue asked this question, the Hoshigakure ninja hesitated to answer. This was because the Hoshigakure ninja's willpower was also extremely strong, allowing him to slightly resist the influence of Uchiha Yue's mental energy. However, when Uchiha Yue this resistance, he quickly increased his mental energy output, causing his own mental energy to disrupt the Hoshigakure's mental energy.

Then, as Uchiha Yue increased the output of his spiritual energy, the eyes of the Hoshigakure ninja became glazed again, and he slowly told Uchiha Yue, "Our Hoshigakure has a total of fifty-eight Jonin, one hundred and sixty-two Chunin, and two hundred and eighteen Genin. As for our Hoshigakure leader, his strength is unfathomable. I'm afraid... I'm afraid only Hanzo of the Salamander of the Amegakure Shinobi World the Third Hokage of Konoha are capable of contending with our Hoshigakure leader!"

"Ha. What a joke!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but sneer inwardly, thinking to himself that those guys from Hoshigakure were truly narrow-minded.

Hanzo of the Salamander the Third Hokage of Konoha, even Hanzo of the Salamander from Amegakure couldn't possibly be a match for the leader of Hoshigakure. In Uchiha Yue's opinion, the leader of Hoshigakure was at most an elite Jonin, unlikely to possess the overwhelming strength of the Third Hokage or Hanzo of the Salamander. Furthermore, even the number of Hoshigakure Shinobi World Hoshigakure somewhat suspicious to Uchiha Yue. After all, for a ninja village like Hoshigakure to have over four hundred ninjas seemed a bit exaggerated.

Immediately afterwards...

Uchiha Yue then selected some important questions to ask the Hoshigakure ninja in front of him.

Then, after getting the answer he wanted, Uchiha Tsuki thought to himself, "According to the information provided by that Hoshigakure ninja, Hoshigakure should have around thirty Jonin, around one hundred Chunin, and around three hundred Genin. Presumably, the reason Hoshigakure has so many Genin but not a significant number of Chunin and Jonin is because they all use 'Star' for training. After all, training with 'Star' becomes increasingly difficult as you progress. Therefore, it's understandable that Hoshigakure has fewer Jonin and Chunin."

"Then, I can roughly guess the location where the 'star' of Hoshigakure is hidden."

"It's just a pity that the Hoshigakure ninja I captured was only Chunin Hoshigakure; he didn't know much important information."

"Otherwise, I would definitely have been able to find out about their cooperation with the Akatsuki organization from this Hoshigakure!"

"But."

Silently thinking this, Uchiha Yue gripped his Fubuki Tachi, and slit the throat of the Hoshigakure ninja before him, continuing to ponder:

"However, even with this information, I now have a reason to infiltrate Hoshigakure."

"Putting aside the Akatsuki and the Star Ninja organization, the ninjas of Hoshigakure alone are very interesting to me!"

"If I can infiltrate the Hoshigakure, wreak havoc, and then successfully escape from the Hoshigakure, my strength will definitely increase to a higher level!"

"What, are all the Hoshigakure the same kind of Genji Villages?!"

"Challenging a ninja village can be quite fun!"
