Hoshigakure, Hoshikage Office
At this moment, Akahoshi was discussing the disappearance of the Yotaka Squad with the guard Shizo.
Shizo, with a petty and disdainful look, said, "Tch, I told you that Yotaka was unreliable, and sure enough, problems arose."
Akahoshi sat in his chair, his expression grave. "The most important thing now is to find them. As for how to deal with them, we'll talk about that later. After all, he knows too much."
Shizo leaned back lazily in his chair. "We've already sent out three teams; we should have news soon."
Akahoshi looked at Shizo and said, " Shizo, you never do anything productive all day, not even training!"
Shizo: "I was just protecting you."
A strange sound came from outside the door, and the two looked up.
What's that sound? Is someone sweeping?
"Squeak~"
The office door was pushed open, and a tree branch covered with green leaves slowly walked in.
Shizo: "(°ー°)?"
Akahoshi: "(_)?"
The tree branches obscured Hongshi's face, but the sides of his body remained exposed to the air.
Hongshi moved forward every three seconds, taking one step at a time, under the watchful eyes of Shizo and Akahoshi: "Hehehe, watch my perfect disguise!"
Akahoshi looked at Shizo: "What's going on?"
"I freaking have no idea either."
Do you know him?
"How could that be? Do you think I wouldn't know that we have people with this physique in our Hoshigakure?"
"So... this counts as an enemy attack?"
"Um... I guess so?"
Shizo stepped forward and patted Hongshi on the shoulder. "Hey, are you Konoha ninja?"
Hongshi was startled and knocked the branch aside. "What! You actually saw through my perfect disguise? I didn't expect Hoshigakure to have a ninja with this kind of skill!"
Initially, Natsuhiboshi did go to Hoshigakure with Hongshi, but Hongshi always believed that his disguise was perfect, and Natsuhiboshi could no longer tolerate it, so she separated from him.
So Natsuhiboshi went to steal Xing herself, while Hongshi, relying on her flawless "disguise," sneaked into Hoshikage's office.
"You think we're stupid? I tried to steal Grandma Li's mantle? Mysterious Peacock Method - Beast!"
Shizo was Jonin after all. Although he was usually lazy, he still had considerable strength. He unleashed purple Chakra behind him and transformed into a beast to pounce on Hongshi.
Hongshi realized his disguise had been exposed and slapped the charging beast.
"Smack!"
The Mysterious Peacock Method: Beast was popped like a bubble.
"Nani!"
Akahoshi and Shizo were greatly alarmed, for they had never encountered such a situation since they learned and used the Mysterious Peacock Method.
Hongshi laughed and said, "Well, how should I put it? You two are incredibly weak. Since Natsuhiboshi isn't here, why don't you become my subordinates?"
Realizing the power of the Hongshi, Akahoshi immediately unleashed the Mysterious Peacock Method: "Dream on! Mysterious Peacock Method - Rope!"
Purple Chakra condensed into a rope, binding Hongshi. However, the next second, white flames ignited on Hongshi's body, burning away all the purple Chakra.
Hongshi laughed, " Hoshikage? With this level of skill, you think you can become the Sixth Shadow? Wake up."
Seeing this, Akahoshi gave Shizo a look and shouted, "You Konoha ninja, don't you know you can't interfere in another village's internal affairs?! You're starting a war!"
The condition for peaceful coexistence between ninja villages and between countries is that they should not interfere in each other's internal affairs. Hongshi wearing the Konoha Forehead Protector and doing so can also be considered as an assassination Hoshikage.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're putting such a big hat on my head, I can't wear it. Oh no, I can wear it, since the entire Shinobi World can't beat me, but that wouldn't be fun."
Shizo circled around behind Hongshi, drew his Kunai, and stabbed it towards Hongshi's lower back.
"Bite!"
Unsurprisingly, the Kunai broken into two sections.
Hongshi: "(°ー°)... You're stabbing me with Kunai, are you serious, bro? Or should I introduce you to Danzo?"
"So strong! When did Konoha produce a fighter of this caliber?"
Akahoshi tried to escape. " Shizo! Hold him off, I'll go get Hoshi."
Hongshi raised his left hand, and white Chakra surged forth, forming an arm that grabbed Akahoshi, who was trying to escape through the window. "Don't go, we haven't finished talking yet."
"Bastard! Let me go!"
" Amenominaka - The Mental World! Become my subordinate!"
Hongshi's eyes turned purple, revealing a pair of Ten Tomoe Rinnegan. Shizo and Akahoshi shuddered and fell to the ground.
Ten seconds later
Akahoshi and Shizo awoke and immediately knelt down, looking at Hongshi: "Boss, hello! You are the embodiment of wisdom and the symbol of power."
Hongshi was currently only in Shadow Clone form. After using his Mental World to alter the wills of the two, he felt a little dizzy. "You two should know what you're about to do, right?"
In the Mental World, Hongshi learned that Akahoshi did indeed know something about the affairs of the Rock Ninja.
Akahoshi hurriedly replied, "I understand, I understand, don't worry!"
Shizo, his initial nonchalance gone, hardened his gaze. " Hoshigakure will operate according to your instructions."
"That's good."
"Bang!"
Having exhausted his Chakra, Hongshi vanished in the spot, turning into white smoke.
Meanwhile, in the neighboring Land of Birds, Hongshi, who was hunting ghosts, exclaimed, "Oh my god~ There's a ghost~ How scary~ Ugh."
After the Shadow Clone dissipated, the feeling of weakness returned to the main body. Upon seeing the Oni Warrior standing on the roof, Hongshi collapsed to the ground and fell into a sleep state.
Kiba Inuzuka nearby, exclaimed, "Hey! Hongshi fainted from fright!"
"Damn it, this piece of trash! Ino, you hold him off!"
Sakura quickly used her Wood Locking Wall to protect him, and then continued fighting the Oni Samurai.
At this moment, Natsuhiboshi's figure slowly descended from the rooftop, the bag at her waist containing the star she had just stolen.
After successfully stealing the star, she returned to the original spot but didn't see Hongshi at all. Following his deep footprints, she ended up in Hoshikage's office. Hearing fighting sounds coming from inside, she realized something was wrong and rushed in.
As she rushed in, she saw Hongshi's Shadow Clone disappear. "Just Shadow Clone?"
Mistakenly believing that the Hongshi guarding the twelve Star Ninja was the real body, the Shadow Clone guarding the twelve Star Ninja also fell straight to the ground and fell asleep.
Upon seeing Natsuhiboshi, Akahoshi showed no sign of activating the Mysterious Peacock Method for battle. "Yo, Sashu, Natsuhiboshi! You've already obtained the star, haven't you?"
Natsuhiboshi assumed a defensive stance. "That's right, Akahoshi, now that we've met, let's pay the price for the death of the Lord Third! Mysterious Peacock Method..."
Just then, Akahoshi spread his hands. "Wait a minute! I have something to say!"
This left Natsuhiboshi somewhat bewildered, but seeing that the two showed no intention of attacking, merely condensing purple Chakra without any further transformation, she asked, "What are you trying to say?"
"Thump!"
Akahoshi and Shizo actually knelt down before Natsuhiboshi, their foreheads touching the ground. "Big sister! We were wrong."
