Infiltration, Hoshigakure

New goals and new challenges have presented themselves to Uchiha Yue. (Free portal)

At this moment, even if Uchiha Yue didn't want to investigate the Akatsuki organization, and even if he didn't want to obtain the Hoshigakure's sacred relic, "Star," the challenges he could face within Hoshigakure alone had already ignited a fierce fighting spirit within Uchiha Yue. Undoubtedly, Hoshigakure was a Kyuubi village, but as a Hoshigakure village, it also possessed a certain number of Jonin, Chunin, and Genin. Therefore, if Uchiha Yue safely escape from the entire Hoshigakure, he would certainly be able to accumulate more experience and gain more valuable resources!

Real combat, only real combat can truly help a ninja grow!

Uchiha Yue's purpose in leaving Konoha was to quickly accumulate strength and break through to the Jonin level. Therefore, after obtaining information about Hoshigakure from the Hoshigakure before him, Uchiha Yue prepared to challenge the entire Hoshigakure and become their enemy. After all, no real battle could be as stressful as challenging an entire Hoshigakure. Uchiha Yue hoped to break through under pressure and elevate his strength to the Jonin level!

Immediately afterwards...

After killing the Uchiha Yue Hoshigakure in front of him, Uchiha Yue prepared to infiltrate Hoshigakure.

This time, the difficulty for Uchiha Yue to infiltrate Hoshigakure is no less than the difficulty for him to Yakunin Village Uchiha Yue.

In fact, infiltrating the Hoshigakure is much more difficult than infiltrating the Yakunin Village!

It's important to remember that when Uchiha Yue infiltrated Yakunin Village, he was accompanied by Tsunade, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki. At that time, Tsunade, a Kage Level shinobi who stood at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, was perfectly capable of protecting Uchiha Yue, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki. Moreover, even without Tsunade, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, both Jonin, were equally capable of protecting Uchiha Yue.

However, with only Uchiha Yue now infiltrating Hoshigakure, the difficulty is unimaginable.

However, such a challenge could certainly get Uchiha Yue's blood pumping.

However, before officially infiltrating Hoshigakure, Uchiha Yue looked at the poisonous fog surrounding the Hoshigakure and silently thought to himself:

"According to the information I obtained from that Hoshigakure ninja, the poisonous fog surrounding Hoshigakure only extends to about 600 meters above the canyon."

"If I had the ability to fly, I could fly directly into the poisonous fog from above."

"Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to fly right now, so I'll have to infiltrate the Hoshigakure by brute force."

"This level of difficulty is a bit challenging!"

With this thought in mind, Uchiha Yue arrived at the poisonous fog surrounding Hoshigakure, enveloping his entire body in spiritual energy to prevent the Hoshigakure's sensory-type ninjas from detecting him. Furthermore, while shielding himself with spiritual energy, Uchiha Yue also sealed his chakra there. This was because Uchiha Yue had learned from a Hoshigakure ninja that they possessed a special sensory ability: the ability to sense the chakra of enemy ninjas. If the Hoshigakure detected any unusual chakra, they could then discover Hoshigakure ninjas preparing to infiltrate Hoshigakure.

As for why the ninjas of Hoshigakure (Hoshigakure) possess such special sensory abilities, it is all thanks to the sacred object of Hoshigakure, "Star".

It's important to know that the ninjas of Hoshigakure all use "stars" for training.

Therefore, every chakra member of the Hoshigakure contains the aura of "stars." When Hoshigakure ninjas use their special chakra—the chakra perception honed from the "stars"—they can sense that the chakra aura of enemy ninjas, i. e., Hoshigakure, is slightly different from their own. Thus, if Hoshigakure ninjas sense an unusual chakra aura, they can detect the presence of an enemy ninja. In other words, if Uchiha Yue wanted to infiltrate the Hoshigakure, he not only needed to use his mental energy to shield himself but also needed to conceal his own chakra aura.

Thanks to Uchiha Yue's apprenticeship under Tsunade, he learned some advanced methods of concealment.

Therefore, it's not that difficult for Uchiha Yue to hide his chakra aura; he just needs to seal his own chakra.

Then, when Uchiha Yue arrived at the poisonous fog surrounding Hoshigakure, he extracted some of the fog to study it carefully. It's important to remember that as Tsunade's disciple, Uchiha Yue's Medical Ninjutsu skills were also exceptional. Therefore, by extracting just a small amount of the fog from the outskirts of Hoshigakure Uchiha Yue, he could prepare an antidote in less than half the time.

Soon after Uchiha Yue prepared the antidote for the poisonous fog, he prepared to infiltrate Hoshigakure.

Because of the natural barrier surrounding Hoshigakure, the Hoshigakure ninjas had no intention of setting up sentries. If Uchiha Yue possessed the antidote to the poison mist, he could easily enter the Hoshigakure. However, the real challenge for Uchiha Yue would only arise once inside the Hoshigakure. One thing that gave Uchiha Yue a slight sense of relief was that despite spending half his time preparing the antidote, the Uchiha Yue member hadn't left the Hoshigakure's territory.

In this way, given the opportunity, Uchiha Yue would be able to capture that Akatsuki member alive.

But...

Just as Uchiha Yue was slowly infiltrating Hoshigakure, he suddenly discovered that two figures had appeared in front of him!

"Those two guys seem to be the two Hoshigakure ninjas who picked up the Akatsuki members, right?"

Using his Purple Eye to observe the two figures ahead, Uchiha Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression full of vigilance.

That's right. If Uchiha Yue's memory is correct, then the two figures in front of him are the two Hoshigakure ninjas who brought the Akatsuki members into Hoshigakure.

However, Uchiha Yue didn't understand why they were blocking his way here, or why they were hiding in the poisonous fog.

Therefore, Uchiha Yue could only use his Purple Eye to perceive the two Hoshigakure ninjas in front of him.

Soon, Uchiha Yue realized why the two Hoshigakure ninjas in front of him were hiding in the poisonous fog!

"If I'm not mistaken..."

"Something important seems to be hidden within the poisonous fog of the Hoshigakure!"
