The next day, Shen left the inn in high spirits after a night's rest. Before he left, he bought a map from the inn.
It had been a few days since Celestine had cleared the Hidden Star Village. However, the news had not spread in the Ninja Realm because the ninjas of the Hidden Star Village had been ordered by their fourth generation Star Shadow Summer Star to keep their mouths shut. They were not allowed to mention it to outsiders. Therefore, other than the people of the Hidden Star Village, no one else knew about it.
On this day, in Moye's Fiery Shadow Tower, Moye's fifth-generation Hokage Tsunete was frowning as he read the letter in his hand, deep in thought.
Seeing Okami's expression, Naruto's assistant, Muyin, who was standing at the side and acting as Koba's assistant, was also very curious about the contents of the letter in Okami's hand. She could not help but ask,"Master Okami, whose letter is this? What happened?"
Okami didn't answer Mute's question. Instead, he handed the letter to her. Jing Yin quickly reached out her hands to catch the letter and read it.
Very soon, Jing Yin finished reading the contents of the letter in her hand. She revealed a surprised expression and asked Tsunei in confusion,"Lord Tsunete, is this a secret document sent by the Hidden Star Village?”
"That's right. This letter was sent by the fourth generation Star Shadow of the Hidden Star Village.”
"Hidden Star Village? Wait a minute…" Jingyin didn't know much about the Hidden Star Village, so she quickly walked to the bookshelf that was piled with all kinds of documents and started rummaging through them. Not long after, he found a folder and began to flip through it.
"Oh, I found it! Hidden Star Village was a ninja village located in the Bear Country. There was a meteorite that fell from the sky 200 years ago, so the village was called " Star Ninja Village." The ninjas in the village would practice around the meteorite because it was radioactive and reacted to chakras. The Ninja Stars were skilled in the 'Peacock Mystic Technique', which allowed them to transform chakras into various shapes to attack or even fly.”
"Yes, that's what the first generation of Star Shadow called the village leader. He had discovered that if he used the stars to cultivate the first generation of Star Shadow, he could increase the power of chakras. From then on, Hidden Star Village would have a place in Ninja Realm.”
"However, according to the documents, this cultivation has been stopped for about ten years.”Jing Yin said as he checked the documents in his hand.
"It was the third-generation Star Shadow who banned cultivation. About a year ago, after the third-generation Star Shadow passed away, cultivation resumed.”
"But why is cultivation forbidden?”Jing Yin asked in confusion because there was no reason recorded in the document.
"Who knows? This is probably the Hidden Star Village's top secret. However, there are many rumors…"
"Rumors?"
"Yes! It was rumored that most of the people who had used the "star" to cultivate had died. Obtaining power from an unknown " star " to forcefully strengthen the chakra might have side effects on the human body.”
"Shuaka! I see!"
" The letter sent by the Hidden Star Village said that a ninja broke into their village a few days ago and killed many of the Hidden Star Village's ninjas, including their representative, Star Shadow. He also took away the sacred object that had been passed down in the Hidden Star Village for generations, which is the meteorite called 'Star'. The important thing was that when they fought with the ninja, they found out that he had the Shura Eye. The entire Ninja Realm knows that Sherringan is the heir of Koba's Uchiha clan. That's why the fourth generation of the Hidden Star Village, Hoshi Shades, sent this letter, hoping that Koba will give them an explanation.”
"Are you sure it's Shura Eye?"
"This is what Fourth Generation Star Shadow saw with his own eyes.”
"Shura Eye…In this world, there should only be Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Sasuke who have Shurakan! Kakashi didn't have this possibility, so there were only two people left, Uchiha Weitake and Uchiha Sasuke. Who could it be?”
"I don't know yet."
"Then what should we do? Should he sit back and do nothing, or send someone over?”
"This might be the result of Muye's betrayal. If we don't express anything, it's inevitable that people will gossip about us. This is very bad for the reputation of the village. Moreover, that person is very likely to be Sasuke Uchiha, so we have to send someone to investigate.”
"Then who does Lord Okami plan to send over?”
"Yes... Go and call Kai's third class over!”Okami thought for a moment and instructed Jingyin.
"I understand." Silent put away the documents in her hands and walked out of Naruto's office to gather the members of Class 3.
Not long after, the third shift's Ningci, Rockley, and Tiantian arrived at Naruto's office. Then, Okami gave them a mission and appointed Ningci as the team leader to head to the Hidden Star Village to investigate. Naruto learned about the Hidden Star Village from Sakura and was very curious about the " star " of the Hidden Star Village. After learning that the third class was going to the Hidden Star Village for a mission, he also wanted to join in the fun. He went to the Fire Shadow Tower and bribed Tsunake with a box of lamb soup rolls. In the end, he got the chance to go with the third class.
"Naruto, I'm the team leader for this mission, so you have to listen to me no matter what, understand?”Before setting off, Ning Ci specially told Naruto.
"I know, I know. Let's go quickly!”Naruto didn't take Nyuji's words to heart at all. Instead, he urged Nyuji to hurry up and ran in the direction of the Bear Country impatiently.
"Really…" Ning Ci had no choice but to let him be and called for Xiao Li and Tian Tian to follow.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the forest on the outskirts of the Hidden Star Village. Naruto and the members of the third class were jumping quickly in the forest.
"We're almost there. There will be a dangerous area before we enter the village. From now on, I'll be the vanguard.”Ning Ci, who had rolled his eyes, said to the three of them.
"Understood!"
Soon, the four of them arrived at the natural barrier of the Hidden Star Village, the valley that was filled with yellow poisonous fog.
"Hey! After passing through this valley, we should be at the Hidden Star Village, Yuxi!”Looking at the valley in front of him, Naruto did not notice anything wrong. Before Ning and the others could react, he ran down the cliff.
"There's danger. Come back quickly!" Seeing that Naruto was actually running directly into the valley filled with poisonous fog, Ning Ci shouted anxiously, wanting to stop Naruto, but it was too late. Naruto had already run far away and did not hear what he said clearly.
Just as Naruto was about to approach the poisonous fog, a few arrows shot out from the other side of the valley and blocked his path. Shocked, Naruto stepped on the arrows and jumped back to the edge of the cliff.
"Naruto, are you alright?" After seeing Naruto jump back to the cliff, Ning and the others came to Naruto and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. Everyone, be careful. There's an enemy!”Naruto said to Ning and the others while looking warily at the other side of the valley.
At this moment, a person wearing a gas mask and holding a crossbow appeared on the other side of the valley. The person aimed the crossbow at a big tree beside Naruto and shot an arrow tied to a rope, nailing it to the big tree. Then, he ran along the rope and quickly arrived in front of Naruto and the others.
"Damn it, were you the one who attacked me just now? Take this!" Naruto shouted, then took out two Kunai and was about to throw them at that person, but he was interrupted by Ning Ci.
"Stop, Naruto! He is not an enemy."
"But he attacked me just now!”
At this moment, the person wearing the gas mask removed his mask. It was Ang, who Shen had held hostage to exchange for Xia Ri Xing's 'star'.
"Humph! A ninja from Muye? I'm a ninja from the Hidden Star Village. My name is Ang, and I'm here to welcome you.”Ang said to the four of them, but his tone was not friendly. The Hidden Star Village had always rejected outsiders, and a few days ago, the Hidden Star Village was attacked and suffered heavy casualties. The murderer seemed to be related to Uchiha, so he did not show any mercy to the people of Koba.
"Then why did you attack me?" Naruto shouted at Ang.
"He was saving you just now. Look!”Ning Ci pointed at a bird flying towards the poisonous fog and said to Naruto. The bird flapped its wings twice after coming into contact with the poisonous fog and fell down.
"This is?" Seeing this scene, Naruto was also shocked and looked at Ning Ci in surprise.
"The border of the Hidden Star Village has always been surrounded by poisonous gas. It is a natural barrier to prevent other countries from invading.”
" That's great, Naruto. Ang is your savior. It's also the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Muye and the Hidden Star Village. Hahahaha!" Xiao Li laughed heartlessly.
"Stop joking!" Naruto complained as he looked at Xiao Li, who was laughing.
"Looks like I'm a busybody. Why don't you thank me? Tsk! Forget it, Lord Starshadow has been waiting for a long time. Come with me into the village first!”After Ang said that, he ignored the reaction of Naruto and the others. He jumped onto the rope and walked toward the valley on the other side.
"This fellow…" Naruto looked at Ang's back and said unhappily.
"Alright, let's not talk so much. Let's follow!”Ning Ci called out, and then everyone jumped on the rope and walked to the opposite side.
Naruto and the other three followed behind Ang and soon arrived at the Hidden Star Village.
