Treasure Theft
With a bold hypothesis forming in his mind, Uchiha Yue increasingly felt that the sacred object "Star" of Hoshigakure might contain some unknown secret.
Therefore, Uchiha Yue, who successfully infiltrated Hoshigakure, now has another bold idea, which is also a new challenge.
That was the sacred object stolen from Hoshigakure, "Star!"
However, Uchiha Yue was also well aware that stealing the sacred relic "Star" from Hoshigakure would not be a simple matter. While the security around Hoshigakure might not be extremely tight—a ninja of Uchiha Yue's caliber could easily infiltrate the Hoshigakure passing through the poisonous fog—taking the Hoshigakure "Star" would require overcoming numerous layers of security.
After all, the "star" is a sacred object of the Hoshigakure, a treasure upon which the Hoshigakure depends for its survival!
Someone trying to steal the "Star" is essentially stealing the lifeline of the entire Hoshigakure; it's not something that can be accomplished easily.
In particular, given that Uchiha Tsukuyomi currently lacks Jonin-level strength, even dealing with ordinary Jonin-level Hoshigakure ninjas would be extremely difficult. Don't be fooled by the fact that Uchiha Tsukuyomi previously killed two Hoshigakure Jonin; that was a result of him using a clever trick. Under normal circumstances, Uchiha Tsukuyomi would find it extremely difficult to kill even one Hoshigakure Jonin, let alone considering the large number of ninjas guarding the "Star" within Hoshigakure.
Having infiltrated Hoshigakure not long ago, Uchiha Yue felt the attraction between "Star" and his own bloodline, and began using his Purple Eye to perceive the location of "Star." After absorbing the spiritual energy of the Monster Ido, Uchiha Yue's spiritual energy was extremely vast, which also greatly expanded the range of his Purple Eye's perception. At this moment, with Uchiha Yue using his Purple Eye's perception, almost the entire Hoshigakure was within his range of perception, making it extremely easy for him to locate the sacred object of Hoshigakure, "Star."
Soon, Uchiha Yue, using his Purple Eye, pinpointed the location of the "Star." Then, something that would give him a major headache appeared. After only a brief scan of the ninja forces guarding the "Star," Uchiha Yue a full twenty Hoshigakure, protecting it. Among them were also Jonin and Genin Chunin the Hoshigakure, lying in ambush. Uchiha Yue's attempt to steal the "Star" from the Hoshigakure was practically a pipe dream. After all, the Hoshigakure's protection of the "Star" was far too tight.
Furthermore, even if Uchiha Yue were able to eliminate the Hoshigakure ninjas guarding the outer "Stars," countless Hoshigakure ninjas would be preparing to enter the room containing the "Stars" to train at any given time. In other words, it wouldn't be enough for Uchiha Yue to eliminate the Hoshigakure ninjas guarding the outer "Stars"; he would also need to eliminate those Hoshigakure ninjas who used the "Stars" to train.
After realizing the difficulty of stealing the "star," Uchiha Yue fell silent in frustration.
Then, Uchiha Yue secretly analyzed in his mind the importance of the "star" to him.
"Now, I have collected enough materials in the poisonous fog. If the memories of that Star Ninja Village Jonin are correct, then I am now fully capable of using 'Star' for training."
"I possess the physique of the Uzumaki Clan, as well as extremely high proficiency in Medical Ninjutsu, which originally allowed me to withstand some of the harm from 'Stars'."
"In addition to the materials I collected from those poisonous fogs, I am almost certain that I can prevent harm to my body when using 'Star' cultivation."
"If I could use the 'Star' technique to train for a while, my Chakra level would increase by several levels."
"At that time, even Uzumaki Naruto from the original story, and Kisame Hoshigaki, who is known as a humanoid Tailed Beast, might not have as much Chakra as me!"
"That way, my strength will be able to steadily reach the Jonin level!"
As he silently pondered this, Uchiha Yue's thoughts became increasingly intense.
The reason for this is that "Star" can give Uchiha Yue qualitative leap in strength, making it difficult for him to resist the temptation of "Star".
But...
Even if Uchiha Yue really wanted to steal the "Star," he still needed an opportunity—an opportunity to steal the "Star" and then escape unscathed.
And so, Uchiha Yue remained hidden within Hoshigakure for a full six months.
During those six days, Uchiha Yue witnessed the Akatsuki member leaving the residence of the Hoshigakure leader. However, watching the Akatsuki member leave, Uchiha Yue felt no regret whatsoever. His primary focus was now on stealing the "Star." If he could steal the "Star" and raise his strength to the Jonin level, even if the Uchiha Yue member remained, the temptations would be far greater, and Uchiha Yue he could resist them all.
Moreover, after six months of hiding, Uchiha Yue finally found an opportunity to steal the "Star"!
Since the Akatsuki member left Hoshigakure, the Hoshigakure's defenses had become much lax. This was clearly because the Hoshigakure leader was preparing to redeploy their forces to collaborate with Hoshigakure. The Hoshigakure ninjas who were redeployed were mostly those guarding the "Star." Seeing the dwindling number of Hoshigakure around the "Star," Uchiha Yue knew this was a perfect opportunity to steal it. Therefore, Uchiha Yue decided to act that very night and begin his theft!
"Whoosh..."
"Whoosh..."
As night fell, Uchiha Yue dared not use Basic Shatter Step at all, and instead used Flash Step to move to the room where "Star" was hidden.
Flash Step is a type of Space-Time Ninjutsu, so Uchiha Yue really wasn't afraid that the ninjas from Hoshigakure would discover his whereabouts.
After all, if the Hoshigakure ninjas could even detect Uchiha Yue using Flash Step, then Uchiha Yue wouldn't need to struggle any longer within the Hoshigakure.
Immediately afterwards...
Using his Flash Step technique, Uchiha Yue quickly arrived at the room where the "Uchiha Yue" was hidden. Because of his excellent concealment, the Hoshigakure Uchiha Yue didn't immediately detect him. However, upon arriving, Uchiha Yue suddenly sensed trouble. He discovered that to enter the area protected by the Hoshigakure Uchiha Yue, he needed to pass through a barrier!
Furthermore, Uchiha Yue needs to pass through the barrier in front of him without disturbing the Hoshigakure ninjas.
This level of difficulty seems to have exceeded Uchiha Yue's expectations!
