Mythological Creature Fragment: "Star"

Konoha, East Gate.

"Lord Orochimaru."

The two ninjas guarding the gate bowed respectfully upon seeing Orochimaru.

A girl with medium-length purple hair and wearing a beige coat followed Orochimaru out of the village.

Normally, entry and exit from Konoha requires registration, and no one can leave the village without authorization from a high-ranking official. However, there are always exceptions. Ninjas like the Three Ninja and the Yellow Flash, who frequently undertake high-level missions, have the right to freely enter and leave Konoha.

Accompanying Orochimaru out of the village was the newly Chunin Mitarashi Anko, who had become Chunin at the age of 12. She had also been taken in as Orochimaru's disciple and would undoubtedly become a high-ranking member of the village in the future.

In many people's minds, the Fourth Hokage is basically Orochimaru.

The two walked for about half an hour and came to a small hill, reaching roughly the foot of the hill.

Orochimaru swiftly Hand Seals, then slammed his hands on the ground. The grass in front of him trembled, and then the ground sank, revealing a hole with a diameter of more than three meters.

Mitarashi Anko peered into the deep cave entrance and saw steps leading down into the darkness, their destination unknown.

Orochimaru looked at Anko's curious expression, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and said calmly, "This is one of my outposts outside the village. I usually stay here unless I have a mission."

With that, Orochimaru walked down the steps.

Anko followed closely behind Orochimaru. At the end of the steps was a narrow and cramped passage, pitch black inside. Just as Orochimaru lifted his foot to step forward, the lamps on the walls of the passage suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire passage with a bright yellow Firelight.

Orochimaru chuckled. This was clearly Shiraha's doing; he had complained many times that this place was too dark.

However, while Firelight can easily illuminate a narrow passage, it cannot illuminate this dark world.

Anko followed behind Orochimaru, looking somewhat puzzled.

Is Orochimaru-sensei smiling?

In Anko's memory, Orochimaru had a gentle personality. She had never seen Orochimaru angry, but she also rarely saw Orochimaru smile. Most of the time, Orochimaru was calm.

Reaching the end of the passage, Orochimaru pushed open the laboratory door, while Anko noticed the strange prison cell next to it.

The makeshift prison cell had its iron doors wide open, but the people inside sat obediently on the ground, showing no intention of escaping.

When these people saw Orochimaru, their faces lit up with fanaticism, but none of them made a sound.

Orochimaru ignored this and went into the laboratory.

Anko felt the gazes behind her were burning; it seemed those people were jealous of her.

What a bunch of weirdos!

Upon entering the laboratory, Anko looked around. The laboratory wasn't large; it could be seen at a glance. However, it was fully equipped with all sorts of experimental equipment, and most of the glass jars contained specimens related to snakes. These were things that most girls would be afraid of, but Anko actually liked them very much, especially after becoming Orochimaru's disciple; she had developed a particular fondness for snakes.

"Anko." Orochimaru turned and looked at Anko.

Anko was examining the various unfamiliar experimental instruments, she immediately became serious upon hearing Orochimaru's gentle voice. "Orochimaru-sensei."

Orochimaru: "Don't you always say that I'm often away and don't have time to take you with me on missions? If you won't get bored, you can stay here while I'm doing my experiments."

Upon hearing this, Anko nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, Orochimaru-sensei."

Orochimaru smiled slightly and began to introduce Anko to various experimental instruments.

Anko identified all the experimental equipment and materials.

Orochimaru's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, because he did not see any thirst for knowledge in Anko's eyes; she was not interested in the experiment.

The experimental process may be tedious and complicated, involving countless failures and repetitions. Without a desire for knowledge and exploration, this process will be an ordeal.

"You are free to move around now," Orochimaru said, then focused his attention on the experiment at hand. On the lab table was a tube of purplish-black reagent, which Orochimaru had been secretly conducting for the past few years, unknown even to Shiraha.

Orochimaru named this experiment "Cursed Seal," an experiment that could enhance a ninja's power and make him virtually immortal.

The Cursed Seal can be considered a supplement to his inability to learn the Ryūchi Cave Sage Mode, a degraded version of Sage Mode, a controllable Sage Mode.

Having experienced the Ninja World War, Orochimaru felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Even if Konoha wins the Third Shinobi World War, he doesn't know if he will die in the future Fourth Great Ninja War. By then, he will probably be over fifty years old. He is afraid that one day he will become like his teacher, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, because of old age.

Physical aging and decreased strength are very frightening.

But what's even more terrifying is that his mindset has changed. After losing his courage, he became hesitant and power-hungry. The Ninja Hero he once was is gone forever.

Orochimaru was not interested in power; he only hoped to explore the true secrets of ninjas and fully unleash the potential of the human body in his lifetime.

Limited time can only yield limited knowledge; only by living as long as possible, or even Eternal Life, can one gradually explore the truth.

Orochimaru's only attachment to Konoha now is his hope that after becoming Hokage, he can change the current political landscape, restore the Third Hokage to his youthful state, and prevent a repeat of Sakumo's tragedy.

After that, Orochimaru only hoped to train his disciples well and protect Konoha.

In this way, he could dedicate his life to experiments.

"Yes, Orochimaru-sensei," Anko replied, quietly observing Orochimaru conduct his experiments.

Soon, Anko felt bored; she simply couldn't muster any interest in this.

However, this is a normal phenomenon.

Girls her age are either passionate about romance, idol worship, or spiritual practice.

For Anko, Orochimaru is her idol and role model.

After looking around the laboratory, Anko left and headed to the next room.

Orochimaru glanced at her but remained silent.

After a while, Anko returned to the lab and saw that Orochimaru had stopped his experiment. She couldn't help but ask, "Orochimaru-sensei, are there two bedrooms here? One is yours, and the other is that Yagami Shiraha's?"

Orochimaru was taken aback by this and nodded slightly, saying, "You should call him senior brother, just like Nawaki."

"But everyone in the village says that Senior Brother Shiraha ..." Anko's expression was somewhat hesitant.

"What are the villagers saying?" Orochimaru asked casually.

Anko: "Everyone in the village says he's a traitor."

Orochimaru: "What do you think?"

Anko: "I don't know."

Orochimaru: "You may have a chance to get to know him later."

Orochimaru fell silent as he spoke.

Anko noticed the change in Orochimaru's expression and felt somewhat complicated. It seemed that this senior brother, Shiraha, held a significant place in Orochimaru-sensei's heart. When she went to the bedroom earlier, she found that both bedrooms were spotless, indicating that Orochimaru-sensei cleaned them regularly.

"I would never betray Orochimaru-sensei!"

Anko symbolize the path of self-reliance.

Orochimaru stepped forward, gently stroked Anko's cheek, and smiled slightly, "You'll understand later."

"I will always follow behind you!" As if afraid Orochimaru wouldn't believe her, Anko continued to express her determination.

Orochimaru simply smiled without saying a word, then turned around and continued his "Cursed Seal" experiment.

The Earth Cursed Seal is complete; now it is time to conduct the experiment on the Heavenly Cursed Seal.

Compared to the vague and unrealistic Wood Release Experiment, the Cursed Seal can actually increase a ninja's strength, and the survival rate is much higher than that of transplanting the First Hokage Cells.

The Bear Country is a small country located south of the Demon Country and north of the Land of Wind.

This country is smaller than the Demon Country, only about half the Demon Country.

However, within the Bear Country, there is a ninja village organization called "Hoshigakure Hoshigakure," whose leader is known as "Star Kage."

Of course, the title of "Star Kage" was self-proclaimed by the Hoshigakure, which is just self-aggrandizement and is not recognized by the Shinobi World at all.

Only the leaders of the Five Great Shinobi Villages of the Great Nations can be called 'Kage'.

Other ninjas, even those with Kage Level strength, cannot hold the title of Kage. Even Hanzo, who is known as a ' Demigod,' is only referred to as the leader of Amegakure.

The mere weak Hoshigakure of the Bear Country probably has no more than a hundred ninjas, yet its leader dares to call himself Star Kage. This is truly arrogant and ignorant.

However, even if some people dislike it, they can't do anything about Hoshigakure. The ninjas of this village rarely go out on missions, and the place where Hoshigakure is located is called ' Hell Valley '. It is situated below a cliff and is surrounded by poisonous miasma. Unless you wear full-body protective gear, going down into the valley is suicidal.

Small countries are not capable of entering Hell Valley, while the Great Nations are capable of attacking Hoshigakure, but there is absolutely no need for them to do so.

Therefore, even though the people of Hoshigakure proclaimed themselves the Six Great Ninja Villages, no one paid them any attention.

At this moment, Shiraha arrived at the top of a cliff and looked down.

The area below the cliff was shrouded in thick, yellowish-brown miasma, making it impossible to see the depth.

Even if the miasma wasn't poisonous, the near-right-angle cliff alone would make it difficult for ordinary ninjas to descend.

While walking on trees Water Walking isn't considered advanced skill for Chunin and Jōnin, if the cliff is too deep, even ordinary ninjas would find it difficult to maintain their balance and reach the bottom.

"Hoshigakure?"

Shiraha thought to himself that he had spent a month in the Demon Country, discussing the specific details of the Pharmaceutical Company with Miroku. He also selected some talented people to teach Medical Ninjutsu and the basics of Ninjutsu, while leaving Kodama in the Demon Country to oversee the work and continue teaching students.

As for Sasori and Kakuzu, they will remain in the Demon Country for the time being, and will leave once the situation stabilizes somewhat.

After all, given Kakuzu's personality, he definitely wouldn't be able to stay in one place without going out to make money.

To ensure the smooth establishment of the Pharmaceutical Company, Kakuzu also took out his savings of one billion taels of silver as the company's initial working capital.

Shiraha has given the degraded versions of the "Vitality Potion" and "Deep Blue Potion" formulas to Miroku, with Kodama assisting him.

With these two medicines, the Pharmaceutical Company will definitely be able to establish itself in the Shinobi World and rapidly expand its scale.

By the time it comes into the sights of major powers and arouses their covetousness, it has already become a force to be reckoned with.

Whether other countries want to get a share of the pie depends on Shiraha's mood.

If the other side dares to use force, then we'll have to see how strong they are.

If pushed too far, Shiraha will simply transfer Kushina and the entire Uzumaki Clan to the Demon Country.

Near the Demon Country are several small countries, including the Land of Stone, the Bird Country, the Swamp Country, and the Bear Country. To the east are the Land of Rain, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Rivers. If these small countries could be united, their total land area would not be smaller than that of the Land of Water, one of the Great Nations.

As for military strength, once it has developed for a few years, it should not be underestimated.

Currently, Hanzo of the Land of Rain is the ally that Shiraha primarily wants to win over.

Of course, it's best to start with the easy things and then move on to the difficult ones, so Shiraha first went to the Swamp Country, which also worshipped Priestess.

The leader of the Swamp Country immediately expressed his willingness to stand with the Demon Country and form an alliance with the Uzumaki Clan.

The same applies to the Bird Country and the Land of Stone afterward.

Currently, Shiraha has direct control over two countries: the Demon Country and the Land of Snow.

Shion, the next generation Priestess of the Demon Country, is his bloodline, Miroku will do his best to nurture her.

Kazahana Sōsetsu from the Land of Snow is a clever person. She is now on the same side as Shiraha. Kazahana Sōsetsu is more afraid of capsizing than Shiraha, so she has been cooperating with him wholeheartedly.

Thanks to the prestige of Kazahana Sōsetsu and the military might of Shiraha and Kushina, the heavy industry of the Land of Snow has developed rapidly since the subjugation of the Snow Ninja Village.

If it weren't for the fear of attracting the attention of the Great Nations too early and being vulnerable to retaliation, Shiraha would have already prepared to put the Chakra Armor into the Shinobi World market.

Shiraha takes the Bear Country, the only small country surrounding the Land of Demon Country to have a ninja village, quite seriously.

However, the daimyo of the Bear Country stated that he would respect the Third Hoshikage's opinion, so the alliance with the Demon Country needed to be carefully considered. If the Third Hoshikage agreed, an alliance with the Demon Country would be formed immediately.

Shiraha didn't mind making the trip, so he arrived at Hell Valley, where Hoshigakure was located.

A moment later, a figure with pale purple wings flew out from the miasma-filled valley below. With a gentle flap of its wings, it quickly arrived in front of Shiraha and landed steadily on the ground.

"What is this?" Shiraha's gaze sharpened.

The person who arrived was wearing a protective suit and a gas mask.

The other party removed their gas mask, revealing a beautiful Kunoichi with long red hair and a five-pointed star Forehead Protector, who was about the same age as Shiraha.

"Are you Yagami Shiraha of the Uzumaki Clan?"

The Kunoichi asked.

"Yes." Shiraha smiled slightly, "I've come to discuss the alliance."

"My name is Natsuhiboshi, and I am Jōnin Hoshigakure. Please follow me."

As he spoke, Natsuhiboshi took out a Storage Scroll from his pocket and took out a protective suit and a gas mask from it.

"I can do it myself." Shiraha saw Natsuhiboshi walking over with protective clothing and a gas mask and reached out to take them.

Natsuhiboshi smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, but to keep it a secret, I need to blindfold you first. It's a rule when entering Hoshigakure."

"I understand." Shiraha nodded, letting Natsuhiboshi wrap his eyes with black bandages and then put a gas mask on him.

"Please follow me." Natsuhiboshi Hand Seals, and pale purple Chakra wings immediately grew from her back. Then she hugged Shiraha's waist and flew down the valley with him.

At this close range, Shiraha was able to clearly sense Natsuhiboshi's Chakra through his "Sixth Sense".

She exudes a special Energy Field, and there are two very different Energy Field Energy Field her body, one of which is emitted by Chakra.

Another special Energy Field emits extremely strong radiation. If one is exposed to this radiation for a long time, it can cause injury or shorten lifespan, or even death.

This strange Energy Field merged with Natsuhiboshi's Chakra, but a considerable portion remained in her body.

"Is this why her Chakra can materialize?"

Shiraha thought to himself that he could sense a strong radiation coming from the direction of Xia Rixing's body, which was of the same origin as the radiation emanating from Natsuhiboshi's body.

It seems there's an unexpected surprise on this trip to Hoshigakure.

This radiation would be fatal to ordinary people, and even to ninjas.

But Wizard are themselves a collection of radiation, so they are not afraid of radiation at all, and even like it.

Now that Shiraha has reached the level of First-Level Warlock, he usually tries to restrain the radiation power emitted by his body, otherwise the radiation alone could kill an ordinary person.

Of course, a ninja's Chakra is a powerful form of radiant energy, so when Shiraha suppresses the radiation, contact with a ninja will not have any effect, as long as it is not intimate contact.

As for Kushina, her own radiation level was no weaker than Shiraha's, not to mention that she also had the Kurama, Super Radiation Creature, inside her, making her radiation level far stronger than Shiraha's.

However, the mutual influence between Chakra is not so obvious, especially when the stronger one has no malicious intent.

"Please follow me." After landing, Natsuhiboshi released Shiraha and gestured for him to follow her.

With Natsuhiboshi deliberately slowing down, the two walked for about seven or eight minutes before finally arriving at Hoshigakure.

Natsuhiboshi took off Shiraha's gas mask, and then removed the black bandages he was wearing.

What came into Shiraha's view was a village with a large number of wooden buildings.

Based on the Energy Field fluctuations, even including all those with Chakra, there are only about a hundred people. The vast majority are at the level of Konoha Genin, and only a dozen or so are at the Chunin level.

In Shiraha's opinion, Natsuhiboshi's Chakra strength was only at the Special Jonin, and with her unique Chakra usage method, she was at most comparable to a regular Jōnin.

Overall, this is a weak village, far inferior to Snow Ninja Village. Snow Ninja Village has at least two hundred active ninjas. Apart from the three members of Roga Nadare who were killed by Shiraha, there are two normal Jōnin- level ninjas and more than thirty Chunin-level Chunin.

Aside from the Five Great Shinobi Villages, the Snow Ninja Village's strength ranks among the top three even among small countries. It's no wonder that Kazahana Dōtō wants to dominate the Shinobi World with his Chakra Armor and the treasures of the Land of Snow.

These small countries, however, did not directly confront the Five Great Shinobi Villages and had no idea of the overwhelming gap between them.

In Shiraha's perception, the total number of villagers in the entire Hoshigakure probably didn't even reach a thousand.

A large Ninja Clan in Konoha has more than a thousand members.

Although it's also a village, Konoha has hundreds of thousands of permanent residents.

"The Lord Third Star Kage is inside." Natsuhiboshi led Shiraha to the "tall" pointed-roof building in the center of the village. On the top of the building, there was a round sign with the character "Star" written on it.

The two entered the building.

In the center sat an old man with a mustache, flanked by four Star Ninja. This appeared to be the strongest lineup of Hoshigakure.

"Lord Third Hokage, we have brought the envoy of the Uzumaki Clan, Yagami Shiraha," Natsuhiboshi said respectfully, then stepped aside.

"Are you Yagami Shiraha?" the Third Hoshikage said. "You are much younger than I expected."

"Lord Third Hokage." Shiraha nodded slightly.

"How dare you treat the Lord Third Hokage with such disrespect! This is utterly rude!"

A young ninja with purple hair and blue eyes rebuked him; he was Akahikoshi, Akahoshi Jōnin Hoshigakure.

Generally speaking, when facing the shadow of a village, kneeling on one knee is the basic etiquette, and at the very least, bowing is required.

Shiraha's attitude was one of complete equality when facing the Third Hoshikage, which was unacceptable to the Jōnin of Hoshigakure.

"As far as I know, only the leaders of the Five Great Shinobi Villages are qualified to call themselves 'Kage'. As an envoy of the Uzumaki Clan, I am on equal footing even when facing the Third Hokage. Does that mean the Third Hoshikage is a level above the Third Hokage?"

Shiraha smiled faintly and asked in return.

"You!" Akahoshi's face flushed with anger. "Is this how you ask for an alliance?"

Shiraha ignored Akahoshi, turned to look at the Third Hoshikage, and said, "Is this the attitude of Hoshigakure?"

"Akahoshi, step back!" The Third Hoshikage frowned slightly and dismissed Akahoshi. Then, he looked at Shiraha with an apologetic expression and said, "I'm sorry, we were rude. However, we need to carefully consider the matter of forming an alliance with the Demon Country and the Uzumaki Clan. If Shiraha Shiro is not in a hurry to leave, you can stay in our Hoshigakure for a few days."

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony." Shiraha nodded.

"Natsuhiboshi, you'll be in charge of entertaining Shiraha these next few days," the Third Hoshikage instructed Natsuhiboshi, who was standing to the side.

"Yes!" Natsuhiboshi replied respectfully, then gestured for Shiraha to leave with her. "Shiraha Yu, please!"

Shiraha left with Natsuhiboshi.

After the two left, Akahoshi, who had spoken earlier, Star Ninja but ask, "Lord Third Hokage, why is Yagami Shiraha so arrogant?"

The Third Hoshikage raised his hand to stop Akahoshi from speaking, then turned to another handsome, black-haired ninja and asked, "Fire Fly, what do you think about this alliance?"

Fire Fly replied, "Lord Third Hokage, forming an alliance with the Demon Country and the Uzumaki Clan would indeed benefit the growth of our Hoshigakure. My suggestion is to form an alliance with them. Of course, even if we don't form an alliance, we should never antagonize them."

"Hmph!" Akahoshi sneered, "Our village has 'stars.' As long as ninjas continuously train in the Mysterious Peacock Method, we will surely surpass the Great Nations one day. Forming an alliance with outsiders now will not bring any benefits and will only attract their covetousness."

"Akahoshi, you're oversimplifying things. You've never left the village and have no idea how powerful the Great Nations are. Any one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages is far stronger than our Hoshigakure! Even if we had ten or a hundred more ninjas who had mastered the Mysterious Peacock Method to its fullest extent, we still wouldn't be able to easily close the huge gap between us and the Five Great Shinobi Villages."

"I can't help it, "Fire Fly said helplessly.

He once believed that Hoshigakure could rely on the existence of "stars" to become the Six Great Ninja Villages.

However, as he cultivated the Mysterious Peacock Method to near perfection, he became more aware of the limitations and hidden dangers of this practice.

Especially after witnessing the strength of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and the terror of the Ninja World War, his thoughts, though unchanged from before, have changed.

"Fire Fly, you're really boosting other people's morale too much!" Akahoshi said with dissatisfaction, but since his strength was inferior to Fire Fly's, his words naturally carried little weight.

The Third Hoshikage, standing to the side, suddenly brightened up and quickly asked, "Fire Fly, are you close to mastering the Mysterious Peacock Method?!"

Fire Fly nodded. "Yes, Lord Third Hokage."

Akahoshi looked on with envy, and the other Jōnin were also very envious.

They practiced together, but only Fire Fly mastered the Mysterious Peacock Method to this extent.

"After all these years, someone has finally mastered the Mysterious Peacock Method to its fullest extent." The Third Hoshikage sighed, "It seems that this old fellow has reached the time for me to retire."

"Lord Third Hokage, you are too kind." Fire Fly hurriedly said, "The practice of the Mysterious Peacock Method has great hidden dangers. I often feel unwell now, and sometimes I have difficulty breathing. It has been proven that using 'stars' to assist in cultivation is extremely harmful to the body."

Moreover, even if one masters the Mysterious Peacock Method to its fullest extent, there will still be a significant gap between them and the top ninjas of the Great Nations.

"With the power of the Mysterious Peacock Method, if one were to master it, they would undoubtedly become one of the top ninjas in the Shinobi World!"

Akahoshi retorted.

Fire Fly shook her head. "There are too many powerful ninjas in the Shinobi World! Like that Yagami Shiraha just now, his strength is greater than all of us here. Even the entire Hoshigakure combined might not be a match for him!"

"That's impossible!"

Akahoshi looked on incredulously.

Fire Fly: "That's the truth. Yagami Shiraha is someone who can fight the Third Raikage. He is one of the top ninjas in the Shinobi World. Even if I master the Mysterious Peacock Method to its fullest extent, I won't have the slightest chance of winning against him."

Akahoshi was completely stunned, his head was buzzing, and the other Jōnin were the same.

They always believed that as long as they had "Star", Hoshigakure would definitely become the Six Great Ninja Villages.

The fact that Fire Fly, the strongest person in the village, has said such a thing shows how much of a shock it has caused them.

"Fire Fly, do you mean to stop practicing the Mysterious Peacock Method?" the Third Hoshikage suddenly asked.

Fire Fly hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Third Hokage."

The Third Hoshikage looked conflicted. "If we stop practicing the Mysterious Peacock Method, the village's strength will definitely be greatly reduced."

"We absolutely cannot stop!"

"How can you stop practicing the Mysterious Peacock Method?!"

"The 'Star' is a treasure bestowed upon our Hoshigakure by the heavens; it is the foundation upon which our village was founded. How can we cease utilizing it!"

The other Jōnin voiced their opposition, with Akahoshi being the most agitated.

He then realized why Fire Fly had exaggerated the strength of outsiders; he wanted to benefit all by himself and cut off their path to further cultivation so that he could succeed as the Fourth Star Kage and wield absolute power.

That's so insidious!

Night falls.

Shiraha used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to leave the Shadow Clone in the room, while his main body used Earth Release Ninjutsu to disappear underground.

Using his "Sixth Sense sense," he quickly headed towards the area with the most pronounced energy radiation.

Soon, he arrived at a place that resembled a meteorite crater.

In the center, there is a round building with a red roof, which looks like a giant red mushroom.

There were no ninjas guarding the building, but it was covered by a barrier.

However, for Shiraha, this level of barrier was as good as not setting it up at all.

Sensing that no one was around, Shiraha emerged from underground. He took out a scroll, clasped his hands together, held the scroll between his thumb and forefinger, formed Hand Seals, opened the scroll, and threw it toward the barrier in front of him.

The scroll emitted a faint glow, floating in mid-air, and broke a gap in the barrier outside the building, about the height of a person.

Shiraha walked in, and the barrier closed immediately. The whole process did not cause any disturbance.

Upon entering the building, one sees a hexagonal platform about one meter high placed in the center. In the very center is a specimen resembling an eagle's claw, with a fist-sized purple sphere in the center of the claw, covered with irregular pits, like a hollowed-out meteorite.

Under the perception of his "Sixth Sense," Shiraha saw a purplish-black mist, and even he felt a sense of unease.

This energy radiation is too strong, and it contains Energy Particles that are harmful to the body.

After observing for a while, Shiraha reached out his hand towards "Star".

The moment he touched it, he felt a large amount of Energy Particles surge into his body, and his vision blurred for a moment. A colossal beast with a single eye roared and waved its tentacles around its body.

Opposite it stood a blue Chakra giant that was probably over a thousand meters tall, resembling the Susanoo released by Uchiha Madara, but the size difference was too great, and they were not even in the same category.

The next second, Shiraha came to his senses.

"This is the memory contained within the 'Star'? This activity... could it be the body tissue of some powerful creature? This world truly has even stronger beings! Even if Kushina and I joined forces, we probably couldn't withstand a single move from that level of combat."

Shiraha fell into deep thought, then activated "Eye of Truth" and "Super Brain Deduction".

[Unknown biological fragment detected; probability of biological level being Super Radiation Creature is 85%; probability of biological level being Mythological Creature is 71%; the current biological fragment is close to the source of the main bloodline, and after absorption, the probability of bloodline purity increasing is 66%, the probability of bloodline purity degrading is 12%, and the probability of bloodline mutation is 22%]

"A fragment of Fourth-Level Mythological Creature?!"

Shiraha was taken aback.

His gains from this trip to Hoshigakure far exceeded his expectations.
