"Please help me steal that star!"
"I don't want the people in the village to be harmed by it anymore!"
Naruto thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, but this star must be left to me."
Natsuhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
She originally came out with the last glimmer of hope, and the other party not only agreed to help, but also agreed so simply that Natsuhi felt a little unreal.
Natsuhi glanced at Naruto quietly. He had black hair and dark brown eyes, and his face had a calmness that was completely inconsistent with his age. She secretly overheard what he said when he rejected his fiancée just now.
This person should be an upright person.
Naruto turned to Jiraiya: "Pervy Sage, if we go to Hidden Star Village, is it still too late to deliver the letter?"
Jiraiya touched his chin and quickly calculated the route in his mind.
Bear Country He had traveled around that area when he was young, and the terrain was quite familiar.
"Hidden Star Village happens to be on the way to Bear Country. We can go together."
"But we can't delay for too long. The task of delivering the letter has a deadline."
Naruto nodded and turned to Natsuhi: "Lead the way, time is running out."
"Thank you Naruto-kun!"
Natsuhi bowed again, turned around and jumped deep into the forest.
Naruto followed her pace, and three figures walked through the dense forest on the border one after another.
Naruto thought of something on the way and opened his mouth to break the silence.
"According to my information, the Mysterious Peacock Method you Star Ninja have trained can gather Chakra wings to fly, right?"
"Instead of going around in the forest, it's faster to fly directly over."
Natsuhi paused in his steps, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Why doesn't she want to fly back directly? Hidden Star Village is not very close to here, and it will take at least half a day to travel by land.
"Mysterious Peacock Method can indeed fly, but if I take two people with me, my Chakra will run out if it can't hold up my Hidden Star Village."
"When the time comes, let alone fighting, I won't even be able to stand firmly."
Naruto shook his head. "You just need to lead the way. We can keep up ourselves."
After Naruto finished speaking, he turned to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's expression froze instantly.
"Ahem, Naruto, please slow down a little, I am too old to bear..."
Before Jiraiya finished speaking, Naruto had already walked around behind him and steadily lifted his back collar with one hand.
Natsuhi hesitated for a moment.
She originally rejected the fiancée who came to her door because she watched Naruto.
Or should you say in front of the other person that you should find the person you like in marriage.
I felt that Naruto was of noble character, so I mustered up the courage to come forward and ask for help.
But now this development is completely beyond her expectation.
Naruto not only did not formulate any thorough infiltration plan, but instead urged her to fly back quickly, as if she was ready to rob directly.
But having reached this point, Natsuhi could only bite the bullet and choose to continue to believe in Naruto.
Natsuhi hands Hand Seals, purple Chakra surged out from her back, condensing into a pair of light butterfly wings.
With a slight flutter of her wings, her body jumped into the sky lightly, drawing a smooth arc in the air.
She glanced back subconsciously, then froze.
With a flash of golden light, Naruto flew next to her with Jiraiya in his hands.
Natsuhi stared at this scene with wide eyes.
Without Hand Seals, without condensed Chakra wings, it is just suspended in mid-air out of thin air.
She couldn't help but blurt out and asked, "What is this Ninjutsu?"
Naruto did not answer Natsuhi's question, "Lead the way, time is running out."
Natsuhi came to his senses and nodded quickly.
She flapped her butterfly wings behind her and flew in the direction of Hidden Star Village.
Naruto followed with Jiraiya.
Soon, Natsuhi led Naruto and Jiraiya through layers of mountains and a canyon filled with purple poisonous mist, to Hidden Star Village hidden deep in the mountains.
When Natsuhi led Naruto and Jiraiya through the canyon and landed at the entrance of the village, the villagers along the road stopped what they were doing and looked at the two ninjas coming from the outside with surprise and speculation.
"Sir Naruto, what are your plans?"
Naruto An asked, "Where are the stars?"
Natsuhi pointed to a house, which is the ancestral hall of Hidden Star Village.
"Now the star is locked in the deepest part of the ancestral hall by Akahoshi. No one can get close except him and his cronies. They continue to force young ninjas to use the star to practice."
Speaking of this, Natsuhi's voice was filled with anger and weakness.
Jiraiya looked at the ancestral hall, was silent for a moment, and then turned to look at Naruto: "Naruto, after all, this is a matter for another country, so please act with caution."
"Hidden Star Village's problem can only be solved by Hidden Star Village itself. What we can do is help them remove the stumbling blocks."
Naruto nodded and walked towards the ancestral hall.
His steps were slow and leisurely, and the hem of his white windbreaker swayed gently as he walked.
Hidden Star Village Villagers along the road stopped what they were doing, looked at the black-haired young man from outside with surprise and suspicion, and started whispering among themselves.
At the entrance of the ancestral hall, two Xingyin Jōnin armed with swords saw Naruto walking straight towards them. They pulled out their long knives at the same time and blocked the door with their blades staggered.
"The ancestral hall is an important place and no idlers are allowed to approach it."
"Foreign ninja, leave Hidden Star Village immediately!"
Before he finished speaking, the figure of Naruto passed between the two of them.
The two Jōnin maintained the posture of drawing their swords, their pupils dilated due to extreme shock.
They didn't capture any movement tracks at all. The black-haired boy seemed to have passed through their defense line out of thin air and was already standing in front of the ancestral hall gate.
Naruto raised his foot and kicked open the door of the ancestral hall.
"Boom!"
The heavy wooden door collapsed inward, and the door panels broke into several pieces and hit the stone floor, raising a cloud of dust and smoke.
Inside the ancestral hall is a dark hall, with a meteorite emitting a strange purple fluorescence enshrined on the stone platform in the center.
Several young ninjas sitting around the star were frightened by the sudden loud noise and jumped up, looking at the door in bewilderment.
A tall and thin man slowly stood up from behind the star, his eyes burning with a paranoid light.
"Who dares to break into Hidden Star Village's ancestral hall? You are not a ninja from Hidden Star Village."
"Send your name, I'm from another village."
Naruto did not answer his words.
His perception swept through the ancestral hall, and he clearly sensed that the Chakra radiation emitted by the star was eroding the bodies of everyone around him.
The meridians in the bodies of the young ninjas sitting around the star have been damaged to varying degrees, and the most serious ones are close to the irreversible critical point.
If he is exposed to radiation for a few more months, even the gods will not be able to save him.
"Hand over the star."
"This thing is killing your next generation."
Akahoshi sneered when he heard this.
"This star is Hidden Star Village's treasure and our only hope against Five Great Nations!"
"Without the power of the stars, Hidden Star Village would have been annexed by Third Shinobi World War!"
"What do you, a foreigner, know? You have no idea how much we paid to defend it!"
Akahoshi waved his hand, and the four confidants Jōnin standing on both sides of the ancestral hall rushed towards Naruto at the same time.
Naruto glanced at it but didn't even move.
Chakra shook slightly from within his body, and four invisible shock waves accurately hit the chests of the four Jōnin, knocking them away at the same time and hitting the stone wall of the ancestral hall with a dull crashing sound.
The four people slid down the wall, tilted their heads and fainted.
The smile on Akahoshi's face solidified.
