"Strictly speaking, it is not given to us unconditionally, but there are certain accompanying requirements. However, this condition is also two-way. The Hoshigakure leader is a smart man and can clearly distinguish the situation!"
Shōji put Star Stone back and said calmly.
"Conditions?"
Kurotsuchi was slightly startled.
"Well, it's just some issues involving the two villages. After I go back, I still need to report to Lord Tsuchikage for instructions, and these are not things that you Genin can know!"
Shōji bowed slightly, patted Kurotsuchi's little head, and said with a smile.
"Tch, Shōji-san is so stingy!"
Kurotsuchi put his hands on his hips and pouted.
Deidara on the side looked uninterested. Although he was a little surprised at first that the leader handed over the village's treasures so easily, with Deidara's character, unless Star Stone could add to his art, it would only be a moment or two of heat.
Itachi is slightly interested in these, and with his intelligence, he can guess part of the content from Shōji's words. However, as Shōji said, they are not qualified now, or to be more precise, they have no energy and leisure to care about these things. Strengthening and improving themselves as much as possible is the top priority of these 'Genins'!
"Okay, it's getting late today. Go get some rest quickly. We have to leave on time tomorrow morning. You don't have to worry about the Kusagakure prisoner. Just let me take care of it tonight!"
Shōji clapped his hands gently, looked at Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi and said softly.
"Yes!"
After the three Itachis responded to Responded, they each returned to their own rooms to rest. Shōji also glanced at the one Third Hoshikage through the window as he left, and then returned to his own room.
To that Kusagakure's Jōnin prisoner.
Shōji However, there are still some issues that need to be confirmed in advance. This will also be beneficial to your subsequent arrangements.
After all, the identity of Kusagakure Jōnin can really be regarded as a rare commodity!
At this moment, Mammoth, who is still in a coma, does not know the fate that he is about to face. Whether the final result will be tragic or not depends not only on Shōji's decision, but also on Kusagakure and his party who will follow Shōji!
The next day, at six o'clock sharp, outside the main entrance of Hoshigakure.
"Please make sure you don't continue to see me off, Mr. Leader."
Shōji took the three little ones in his team and looked at Third Hoshikage, who was only accompanied by two young Star Ninja, Fire Fly and Natsuhi, with a faint smile. On the side, the previously captured Kusagakure Jōnin Mammoth was standing aside with a look of listlessness, without any restraints. It was obvious that he had been completely convinced by Shōji in terms of 'physics' last night.
But even if he has any little thoughts, it's meaningless. The three little ones can keep an eye on him, not to mention Shōji monitoring one side!
Natsuhi and Fire Fly are naturally the ones who know the inside truth of this incident. This is also the reason why Third Hoshikage told the two of them after considering it all. Therefore, the two of them are not surprised by this. There is a Kusagakure Jōnin, but I am just a little curious about how Shōji will deal with this Jōnin, but it only happened for a moment.
The more they learn from their own Hoshikage adults, the more these two younger generation Hoshigakure and Star Ninja know about the difficult road ahead for their own ninja village. It is difficult to describe their mood at this moment in ordinary words.
But for Shōji and his group, Fire Fly and Natsuhi still have a certain degree of gratitude. Although this mentality is very complicated and even contains a bit of resentment, they know very well that without If Shōji, they Hoshigakure will most likely be destroyed, especially Natsuhi, who has gradually realized the serious side effects of 'Star Stone practice', knows this better.
"Well, this time I really trouble Mr. Shōji. Thank you very much Mr. Shōji for your help in this village!"
Third Hoshikage seemed to have become older overnight. His face, which was already full of wrinkles, became extremely dark at this moment, and he felt like he was about to run out of energy.
Shōji couldn't help but mutter a few words in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the leader, has spoken seriously. This is also our duty. As for the content of yesterday's discussion, please rest assured, Your Excellency, that after returning, we will truthfully report to Lord Tsuchikage. As long as there are no accidents, there is a high probability that it will be as the leader wishes!"
"Well, then I'll trouble you Shōji-kun!"
Hearing another promise from Shōji, a smile appeared on Third Hoshikage's old face as if it was a difficult time, and he nodded slightly and said.
"Then, please stay here, Your Majesty the Chief, and we'll take our leave!"
Shōji nodded slightly.
"Ah!"
Then the leader straightened up, taking the three little ones, Deidara, Kurotsuchi, and the one Kusagakure Jōnin Mammoth, away from the place and galloping towards the east.
Looking at the direction the group of people were leaving.
Third Hoshikage sighed lightly, then turned to look at Fire Fly and Natsuhi, who also had complex expressions in varying degrees.
"The future of the village is left to you two, Natsuhi, Fire Fly!"
I have done everything I can do. Although such a choice does have some hidden risks, for the sake of the continuation of Hoshigakure, I can no longer care about these. As for what the future will be like, I can only leave it to the future.
It can be said that Third Hoshikage, who is approaching the end of his life, is no longer able to take care of the future. All he can do is take care of the present.
Natsuhi and Fire Fly naturally understand the meaning of their own master Hoshikage's words.
'Akahoshi's death' 'Kusa Ninja's attack' 'Star Stone'
It can be said that after learning this series of truths, the two young Star Ninja also grew up overnight. This burden that can be truly felt made their heartstrings tighten.
Facing his own Third Hoshikage's expectant eyes.
The two of them also nodded heavily and responded Responded simultaneously, "Yes, Master Hoshikage!"
"Yeah!"
Whether it is correct or not, this can only be left to the future and time to verify.
Third Hoshikage nodded with a hint of relief in his eyes, then turned around and headed back to the village.
Natsuhi and Fire Fly followed suit. As Fire Fly turned around, he finally took a deep look at the place where Shōji and his group left. There was a ray of determination in his black and white pupils.
'One day, I will definitely catch up with you, Uchiha Shōji!! '
