?"Damn..."
"It's that guy Natsuhiboshi!!"
At this time, Akahoshi, who was standing next to him after being seriously injured, clutching his chest, seemed to recognize the opponent's identity at a glance, and Body Flicker Technique rushed in without waiting for the ninjas around him to stop him.
"Master Yu, do we want to go in too?!"
Seeing the change in the situation before him, Bai beside Yu asked him for instructions in a low voice.
"No need, we just need to wait and see what happens, just stand aside and watch the show."
Yu raised his hand slightly to stop Hakuda from rushing in. Looking at the huge wooden house in front of him, his deep and clear eyes flickered with a faint brilliance.
"Hoshikage Master!!"
"When Firefly Star and I left the village, you said we would seal the 'star' forever, so we agreed to hand the 'star' to you and hide in secret to protect the village. Are you going to break your promise now?!"
An angry question came and all the ninjas present saw Third Hoshikage coming out of the huge wooden house and confronting a ninja using Mysterious Peacock Method.
I saw that the mysterious ninja who had just used Mysterious Peacock Method to transform into four pairs of wings and fly into the wooden house had taken off his gas mask, revealing long dark purple-red hair and a beautiful appearance. He turned out to be a young female ninja!
"That person is... Mom?!"
After seeing the appearance of the female ninja in the room, the young man Sumaru standing outside was stunned.
In his memories from childhood, his parents had died on missions when he was very young, and his mother could only be seen in his dreams occasionally, but he never expected that the female ninja who suddenly appeared in front of him would give him such a familiar feeling.
"Don't be stupid, Natsuhiboshi!"
"I re-unlocked the 'Star' not to use it for cultivation. Do you know who the young man standing outside is?"
Inside the wooden house, facing the stern questioning of the female ninja in front of him, Third Hoshikage firmly grabbed a ball in his hand that was always exuding mysterious lavender chakra, "Crimson Feather! If you don't give him the 'star', what if he does something to destroy our entire Hoshigakure?"
"Crimson Feather? The legendary ninja who can defeat ten thousand people..."
Hearing the rebuttal of Third Hoshikage in front of her, the female ninja who stood in the room and used Mysterious Peacock Method to confront him was suddenly stunned.
Although she and her husband Firefly Star abandoned their child Sumaru and hid in the dark to guard Hoshigakure all these years, she had obviously heard of the name Crimson Feather and knew exactly what it meant.
"That inconspicuous little ball..."
"Is it the meteorite that fell from the sky to Hoshigakure two hundred years ago..."
Ignoring the gaze of the female ninja Natsuhiboshi in the room, Yu's gaze fell on the mysterious ball in front of him that Third Hoshikage was clutching tightly in his hand. Observation Haki indeed sensed a completely unfamiliar and strange energy reaction from it.
"Go to hell, old man!!"
Seeing that Hoshigakure's treasure was about to be handed over to Yu's hands by Third Hoshikage, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Third Hoshikage was using Mysterious Peacock Method to confront Natsuhiboshi, the female ninja in front of him, trying to persuade her with words, but a vicious voice suddenly came from the wooden house behind him, and a sharp kunai pierced his body directly from behind!
"Hoshikage-sama?!"
Seeing the sudden change in front of them, all Hoshigakure ninjas present were stunned. Even the female ninja Natsuhiboshi, who was standing in front of Third Hoshikage and confronting him, couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"Akahoshi... are you a traitor?!"
Third Hoshikage, who was already over a hundred years old, finally turned his head with great difficulty and saw Akahoshi's face full of spite and greed.
So far, there are only three people who have reached the highest level of practicing Mysterious Peacock Method. One is Natsuhiboshi in front of me, one is Natsuhiboshi's husband Firefly Star, who has passed away due to the influence of the meteorite, and the other is the current Third Hoshikage.
Although Mysterious Peacock Method is powerful and versatile, its only drawback is that during the spell's operation, his ability to observe the surroundings is reduced and he cannot defend against close attacks. That's why he was seized by Akahoshi, who also practiced Mysterious Peacock Method, for a sneak attack.
"Whether it's you, Natsuhiboshi, this woman, or even that Crimson Feather... the 'star' can only belong to me in the end!!"
After Third Hoshikage was killed in a sneak attack from behind, Akahoshi appeared behind him and took away the meteorite he was holding tightly in his hand. A crazy and greedy smile was ready to appear on his face, "I want to completely integrate with this power! I will let Hoshigakure surpass Five Great Nations's ninja village! Hahahahahaha!!"
While he was laughing wildly, before the Star Ninja around him could rush up to him, he saw that Akahoshi had already pressed the mysterious meteorite in his hand to the center of his chest, and it was deeply embedded in it!
"Master Yu! That guy took that meteorite away!!"
Seeing the changes happening in front of him, Yu took it calmly, but Bai beside him could not help but become anxious.
"Don't worry, I just want to see what effect that piece of broken stone can achieve..."
After comforting Bai and Kimimaro who couldn't hold back next to him, Yu looked at the changes that happened in front of him with a calm expression. Of course, he let all this happen intentionally.
"Damn...Akahoshi you traitor!!"
"You actually killed Lord Hoshikage! Give me the 'star' back quickly!!"
Seeing Akahoshi attack Third Hoshikage from behind and take away Hoshigakure's treasure meteorite, Natsuhiboshi in the wooden house suddenly emitted huge lavender chakra, and turned into a beam of light and rushed forward!
"Hahahahahaha!!"
"I have become one with the 'star'! You are no longer my opponent Natsuhiboshi!!"
Akahoshi, who was originally not Natsuhiboshi's opponent, faced Natsuhiboshi who was rushing towards him. He laughed wildly and burst out with a monster-like lavender chakra from all over his body, directly blowing up the entire huge wooden house and sending Natsuhiboshi flying out!
"This... is what it feels like to have power... it's so awesome..."
The whole body continuously releases extremely large lavender chakra, and Akahoshi, who has merged with the meteorite embedded in the center of the chest, has become like a monster, with a ferocious face filled with endless greed and ambition. "As long as it merges with the 'star'... Five Great Nations or the five major ninja villages will not be my opponent!!"
"Oops... His chakra and Mysterious Peacock Method have become so much stronger?!"
Crawling out of the ruins of the collapsed wooden house in some embarrassment, Akahoshi and Natsuhiboshi looked at Akahoshi, whose chakra had increased tenfold after merging with the meteorite, and Natsuhiboshi's beautiful face was filled with shock.
As one of the ninjas who Hoshigakure trained Mysterious Peacock Method to the highest level, her strength is already between that of a Jonin and Kage Level, but she was blown away by Akahoshi who was fused with the meteorite in a single encounter. So to what extent has the power of the meteorite increased the power of Akahoshi at this moment?
"Is this the end?"
At this moment, a calm and indifferent voice sounded, and Akahoshi's laughter stopped abruptly.
Under everyone's stunned gaze, the originally calm Yu was shaking his head with a disappointed look on his face, slowly walking towards Akahoshi, whose power had skyrocketed after merging with the meteorite. There was no trace of warmth in his clear and deep eyes.
"You just barely broke through Kage Level... The power of that broken stone can only allow you to reach this level..."
"I'm so disappointed in wasting my time..."
