"It seems that this Third Hoshikage has begun to suspect that there is more than one traitorous ninja within him."
"Such an action cannot be accomplished by one person. Although the scene has been cleaned up, it can still be seen to some extent. This is a matter of civil strife. Kusagakure is still doubtful. The focus now is to see what Third Hoshikage's next action will be!"
After preliminary sorting out the collected information.
The three little ones also got together to analyze information and judge the situation.
"So, are we going to stare at the one who calls himself Third Hoshikage?"
Kurotsuchi blinked and looked at Itachi and asked.
"Monitoring is necessary, but the abilities of the three of us may be a bit weak. Although the strength of most Star Ninja does not need to be concerned, and it seems that they do not have any special perception methods, but that one is the leader of the village after all. Even though he is so old, there is nothing special about it. If the method can detect us, then the gain is not worth the loss. Let the clay creatures of Deidara conduct remote monitoring. Although it is a little troublesome, it is better than being safe. We can monitor the most important beings in the village, and their actions may provide us with some different intelligence!"
Itachi looked at Kurotsuchi and Deidara with a very calm expression and said.
"Well! Then just do what you say, Itachi-san!"
Kurotsuchi nodded and said.
Deidara looked indifferent, although he felt that the best way was to directly force that Third Hoshikage to tell the truth and then go all the way. As for the escort mission, wouldn't it be completed as long as all the enemies with any potential threats were dealt with?
But the only one with this strength is his own captain——Uchiha Shōji.
When the captain obviously didn't want to take action himself and wanted to see the performance of the three of them, Itachi's approach was indeed the safest. Who said that the three of them were not strong enough.
"Yeah."
Therefore, for Itachi's arrangement, Deidara also responded lightly to express his approval. Anyway, before this, they had not exposed their magic skills. Even if the clay creature was really discovered by Third Hoshikage, they would never associate it with them. Instead, they would guess about other enemies.
The plan was made, and the three of them took action immediately.
When Itachi and Kurotsuchi went to follow and monitor the most important Jōnin among Hoshigakure's previously detected information, Deidara also remotely controlled his clay creature from a slightly further distance to sneak to the outer edge of the house where Third Hoshikage was located.
Third Hoshikage, who didn't know that he was already being monitored by the three little ones, was pacing back and forth in his home with a hint of anxiety.
"Hoshikage Master!"
"How is it!?"
At a certain moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Third Hoshikage. The leader of Hoshigakure also turned his head suddenly, looked at the dark figure kneeling in front of him, and asked in a slightly urgent tone.
"Yes, the location has been determined. There is no one else around. Fire Fly, Natsuhi and others are also following the orders of Lord Hoshikage. There is no other person in contact!"
The visitor answered Responded with a calm look.
Hear the visitor's answer.
Although Third Hoshikage has not completely relaxed, the look on his face has obviously softened a lot. Akahoshi, Fire Fly, and Natsuhi are the young people Third Hoshikage values most. He had always felt that after he resigned or passed away, one of the three people would be the most suitable person to take over his position. Now that Akahoshi had gone astray, he really did not want to see Fire Fly and Natsuhi take the same path.
Therefore, while he was arranging Fire Fly and Natsuhi to carry out superficial tracing tasks, he was secretly arranging his real confidants to investigate the contents of the letter he just received and confirm the whereabouts of these two people!
Now it seems that there shouldn't be much problem with these two people.
"Very good, then according to the established plan, tonight, you take someone with me to deal with Akahoshi and the others!"
Third Hoshikage After taking a deep breath, he looked at the dark figure in front of him and said in a very stern tone.
"Yes, Master Hoshikage!"
The visitor suddenly lowered his head in response, and then with a wave of Third Hoshikage's hand, he disappeared again in a flash.
'Akahoshi, this is really your last chance. If you are still stubborn, don't blame me for being cruel! '
In terms of age, Third Hoshikage is far older than Ōnoki and Sarutobi Hiruzen. He has truly experienced the bloody and chaotic era of Shinobi World decades ago before the major ninja villages were established. Although he has always had a kind and kind appearance after getting old, he is not weaker than anyone in terms of ruthlessness.
Akahoshi is indeed one of the next generation young people he values most, but if he is really determined to betray the village, Third Hoshikage will never be merciful.
The scene where Third Hoshikage met his henchman was obviously within the sight of the clay creature controlled by Deidara. Although it was impossible to hear what Third Hoshikage and that Star Ninja said, some basic information was still grasped.
This is obviously a sign of action.
Deidara also used his clay creature to notify Kurotsuchi and Itachi immediately. Itachi also decisively decided to give up monitoring the other Star Ninja. The main event will eventually fall on Third Hoshikage. If Third Hoshikage can gain something, why bother to keep an eye on those minor characters.
The right owner is the key!
After Weasel, Kurotsuchi and Deidara met, in the next two or three hours, three or four more figures came in and out of Third Hoshikage's residence within its monitoring range. These people all looked like they were in a hurry after leaving.
Obviously, the next one, Third Hoshikage, is likely to make a big move!
Sure enough.
When time passes again, it comes to dusk.
Third Hoshikage is located at the back door of the residence.
This Hoshigakure leader stepped out from there, and no longer dressed in regular clothes, but in obvious combat attire.
At the moment of realizing this.
Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi also became energetic.
'It seems that this Hoshigakure leader does have some problems, I don't know where they are! '
'Shōji Sang Mingming warned you not to act haphazardly. '
'snort! '
The three of them also looked at each other, and after each nodded slightly, they also opened a little distance, hanging far behind the Third Hoshikage, relying on the clay creature, and followed Third Hoshikage step by step, gradually moving away from the outside of the village.
