The key point of the B-Rank Mission received by Shōji and Squad One is that within 15 days, Hoshigakure will take action to protect the safety of Hoshigakure when it is invaded by foreign enemies., the reason why it is said to be paid according to the B-Rank Mission highest reward, and it is marked that it can be upgraded to an A-level mission, is precisely because there is a strong uncertainty in this kind of mission, because you have no idea who the incoming enemy is, and what standards the quality and quantity are.
So generally speaking, for such a task, Ninja Village will dispatch a team that is strong enough to carry out A-level tasks, that is, Elite Jōnin leads three teams of Chunin. Anyway, the initial reward for the task is already infinitely close to that of an A-level task. It is not a waste of resources for such a team to go on a mission.
If Shōji was not willing to take on this task personally, Ōnoki also specially arranged an elite team to come to Hoshigakure. To put it bluntly, as long as it is not against other Four Great Shinobi Villages, the configuration of a team like Iwagakure is enough to defeat two or three times the enemies in other small and medium-sized ninja villages. Of course, this refers to the general situation.
It is also very common for ninjas to have unexpected situations during their missions. For example, Shōji and his team just came to Hoshigakure yesterday, and an accident happened today. Whether it was due to the needs of the mission itself or his own curiosity, Shōji definitely wanted to lead three people in his team on a trip.
Before the four of them got close to the place where the incident occurred, they could see that Hoshigakure was already on full alert as if facing a powerful enemy!
Those Star Ninjas who looked like they were ordered to guard the outermost position also blocked them outside with stern expressions when they saw Shōji and his group approaching.
"This place is off limits now!"
Although Shōji and his group are all dressed up as Iwagakure Ninja, but again, most of Star Ninja are people who have a high self-esteem and can really see themselves clearly. Only the people at the top, and the Star Ninja people at the middle and lower levels, at least 70% of the time, really believe that their Ninja Village can be compared to Five Great Shinobi Villages, and they also feel that they are well-deserved for the title of Hoshikage!
In this case, Star Ninja naturally feels that they should not be afraid of Shōji and others. They are equal and are still in their village. Now that such an important thing is happening, they naturally have the responsibility to prevent outsiders from entering.
"!"
I saw these Star Ninja looking very tough.
Shōji The other three people have not made any statement yet, Deidara just raised his eyebrows, and this angry look appeared directly.
"You guys!"
When I was about to say something.
It was broken by Shōji gently swaying Teuchi.
"Haha, we were hired by the leader of your village. This situation is likely to be related to our mission, so we have to go to the scene. Of course, I will not embarrass you. You can go and ask your leader for instructions immediately!"
Shōji smiled slightly and said the words lightly.
The Star Ninjas opposite were stunned at first. When they heard Shōji's name in the second half of the sentence, the expressions of each of these Star Ninjas changed.
Just like yesterday's Fire Fly.
Shōji did not call his master Hoshikage 'Hoshikage', which already offended these Star Ninjas.
"Master Hoshikage has an order, please come in, all the gentlemen of Iwagakure Ninja!"
This seemed like a conflict that was about to break out again.
At this moment, a tall and tall middle-aged man ran out from the inside and shouted out the words.
These Star Ninjas also looked slightly stagnant.
The leader also took a deep look at Shōji and stopped the words and deeds of his subordinates behind him. Although he, like other Star Ninja, was very confident that their Hoshigakure would not lose to any ninja village, after all, he was older and was relatively stable. He was the most powerful Iwagakure Jōnin in Shinobi World today, and he was invited by his own Hoshikage. Basic etiquette issues did still need to be paid attention to.
Of course, Shōji can see through the inner thoughts of the Star Ninjas opposite them at a glance. The dissatisfaction shown on their faces is so obvious. However, as I said before, not caring does not mean that they can be tolerated. Although Shōji will not lower his status to deal with these people, but if the opposite party really wants to slap their noses on their faces.
You don't even need to turn on Mangekyō Sharingan to say something ugly, just Hoshigakure's mere two to three hundred ninjas are not enough for Shōji to kill alone!
The quality is not good and the quantity is not enough Hoshigakure.
To put it bluntly, it can be regarded as one of the lowest ninja villages above Shinobi World. Even Snow Ninja Village, if Chakra Armor can be equipped in batches, Snow Ninja Village can even push Hoshigakure.
At least in Shōji's view, Kazahana Dōtō and Nadare Rōga are considered relatively strong beings at the Jōnin level.
Many times, people still have to learn to correct their status and mentality.
With this thought flashing through his mind, Shōji took Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara and strode in towards the inside.
Just walked inside.
I saw many Star Ninjas guarding the surroundings. After a quick scan, I found that there must be thirty or forty people here. Adding the garrison force outside, it is estimated that one-third of Hoshigakures personnel have been transferred here.
But this is also normal.
If it is as Shōji and others expected before, and the problem is the "Star Stone" of Hoshigakure, it is not surprising to mobilize these powers. Although Mysterious Peacock Method seems like that to the high-end people of Shinobi World, it does have certain magical effects, not to mention special groups and cutting-edge combat power.
The Mysterious Peacock Method derived from Star Stone can give Star Ninja a certain advantage in the confrontation between Genin and ordinary Jōnin. At least it can fly, which is indeed very impressive. This is why Hoshigakure values Star Stone so much.
If Hoshigakure's number of ninjas can be increased tenfold, and Star Stone's training does not have fatal side effects, then Hoshigakure can indeed be comparable to any one except Five Great Shinobi Villages. If any other ninja village is lucky and has another strong man who can reach the level of Kage Level, it may not be impossible for him to challenge Five Great Shinobi Villages when he enters a period of decline, such as the current Sunagakure.
However, unfortunately, Hoshigakure cannot do these three points.
The most direct point is the fatal side effect caused by Star Stone practice.
This is a problem that Hoshigakure cannot avoid.
'In Original Work, it seems that the old leader discovered the problem with Star Stone and strictly prohibited the use of Star Stone for practice, which triggered a series of problems later. I wonder if it will be the same in this life? '
Shōji looked at Third Hoshikage walking towards him and others, who seemed to have become older overnight, and thought silently in his heart.
After all, the plot in this life is completely messed up.
Not to mention that the timeline in Original Work was originally quite confusing. For the current Shōji, the reference significance and value of this kind of thing are greatly weakened.
Many times.
Shōji can only make some guesses.
