Escape From Konoha

Vol 7 Chapter 3: Darkness of the Stars

"Is that where Star Ninja Village is located?"

Standing on a high ground where you can see far away, Ayane asked, pointing to the area ahead.

It was a hermit land surrounded by mountains and forests, with only a winding path at the entrance, leading to the deep hinterland of the forest.

"Yes, Xingren Village is hidden in this area."

A Jonin from the Oni no Kuni who accompanied him answered in the affirmative.

"It's really hidden."

Judging from the footprints around the forest, it doesn't look like there are people living at all, but the atmosphere of wild beasts is very strong.

These beast breaths may be intentionally revealed to cover up people's eyes and ears.

"Star Ninja Village is undoubtedly a small ninja village, but at the beginning, they had great ambitions to dominate the five major countries."

Jōnin of the Ghost Country revealed the secrets he dug up inside the Hoshinin Village.

"It's the so-called 'star' that gave them such excess ambition."

The corners of Ayane's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.

In Xingren Village, it is said that there is a mysterious meteorite flying from outside the sky.

This meteorite that fell to the earth seems to have some kind of mysterious power, it is highly radioactive, and it has some kind of magical reaction to the chakra of the human body.

Relying on this meteorite, the ninjas of Star Ninja Village developed their own secret technique, which was once prominent in the ninja world.

Not only that, but the leader of the Star Ninja Village, which does not belong to the Five Great Nations system, imitated the name of the Five Kages and called it Star Shadow.

But the name of this kind of star shadow is just a self-proclaimed general self-indulgence, and it is not recognized by the mainstream of the ninja world.

Passed down to today, Xing Ninja Village is now governed by three generations of Xing Ying.

"According to the people we arranged in Star Ninja Village, there is a big problem with the thing called 'star'. When using 'star' to cultivate, although it can increase the activity of chakra, it will also cause great damage to the body. .Now 'star' has been banned by the third generation of stars."

Ninja of the Ghost Country replied.

"This point is consistent with the sequelae after Jinzhuli used Tailed Beast Chakra."

Frequent use of Tailed Beast Chakra will cause huge damage to the human body. Even if it is Jinchuriki, in many cases, it is prudent to use Tailed Beast Chakra.

From this point of view, while the "star" of the Star Ninja Village enhances the activity of the human chakra, it also has the same negative effect as the tailed beast chakra, which is destructive to the human body.

"Haha, it shouldn't be as extreme as a tailed beast."

Ghost Kingdom shook his head with a smile.

If the power of the 'star' could be compared to that of the tailed beast, the Star Ninja Village would not have been living in such a place and isolated from the world for so many years.

"Let's talk about Xing's matter later. How is the layout of Xing Ninja Village? Don't make any mistakes by then."

Star Ninja Village is the key to capturing the Bear Country.

How to occupy Star Ninja Village also requires the close cooperation of multiple steps.

Ayane knew what important roles Hoshinin Village and Bear Country played in the expansion plan of the Ghost Country.

The expansion plan of the ghost country is until it becomes the sixth great country.

If you want to become the sixth largest country, you will inevitably cause conflicts with the inherent five major power system, and a war will inevitably occur.

The country selected by the ghost country is the country of the wind with the largest territory among the five major countries, and will be regarded as the target of the ghost country's rise to power.

Only when the Kingdom of Ghosts wins the Kingdom of Bears can it use the natural dangers of the Kingdom of Bears as a springboard to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Wind without any worries.

The way this world is established has always been that the strong swallow the weak, and the big fish eat the small fish.

Although Shiraishi has implemented many policies that benefit the people's livelihood in the land of ghosts, Ayane knows that Shiraishi is by no means a pacifist at heart.

No, the identity of a pacifist does not match that man at all.

All he cares about is to make this world what he wants in his heart.

Changing this boring and uninteresting world is his real purpose.

"Master Ayane, please rest assured about this, everything is proceeding steadily according to our plan. In case something goes wrong, isn't that why you are here?"

Shinobi of the Oni Country smiled slightly, appearing full of confidence.

The three adults above the 5,000 ninjas in the Oni Land, each of them is a ninja who can match the Five Kages, and may even have surpassed the Five Kages.

In this war-torn ninja world, strength is the basis for everything.

When Xing Ninja Village is annexed, the military power of the ghost country will be significantly improved.

"You are right. It is precisely because this plan is very important that I will come here to sit here in person. During the stage of probing the enemy situation, I am almost ready, and I have not found any opponent that caught my eye. Next, I will wait for the news from Chi Ying. Bar."

Ayane closed her eyes, centered on herself, and could take care of everything within twelve kilometers.

Naturally, Xingren Village, hidden deep in the mountains, also cannot escape her eyes.

All the defense routes of Xing Ninja Village, including the level of the guard force, are clear.

Among them, there is only one ninja whose chakra is beyond ordinary people, stronger than the rest of the stars, and it should be the third generation of stars.

Seeing the pace of Ayane turning and leaving, Jonin of Oni no Kuni sighed:

"Baiyan, it's really a convenient blood succession boundary."

It's no wonder why Konoha was able to quickly take the initiative even if the situation was unfavorable in the previous Ninja World Wars.

Baiyan's blood succession boundary, which has great strategic significance, is only concentrated on the Konoha family, and it is indeed envied by others.

"Speaking of Konoha, it seems to be a little weak recently. The strongest ninja village, which was once so powerful, is feeling a little declining."

When Ninja of the Oni Land thinks of Konoha's current situation and compares it with the Oni Land that has accumulated technology and capital and gradually grown through the Third Ninja World War, he can't help but sigh.

"However, Konoha should continue to be decadent..."

Cooking smoke curled up.

In the depths of the dense forest, the houses are arranged in an orderly manner, which looks like a small village.

This is the residence of Star Ninja Village.

There are no parapet walls around, and many houses retain an older style. Judging from the traces, the buildings here have not been renovated for a long time.

Whether it is an important ninja school or a hospital, the equipment inside is also very old.

At the end of the village is a wooden building engraved with the word 'star', which is the residence of the stars of the Xingying Village.

Now living in this house are three generations of Hoshikage from Hoshino Village.

He sat cross-legged on the cushion, coughing softly as if he had suffered an internal injury.

As he coughed, his old, wrinkled face grew paler.

His actions naturally aroused the concern of a female star ninja next to him.

"Are you all right, Master Xingying?"

She wanted to come up to check Xingying's physical condition, but the third generation Xingying waved her hand, feeling a little lack of energy.

"It's okay, this old bone should still be able to hold on. The power of 'Star' is getting more and more domineering. If this continues, the old body will not be able to hold it for too long."

Three generations of Xingying's tone was full of unwillingness.

In the past, Xing Ninja Village also emerged in the ninja world by virtue of the power of the "star", and it was very popular for a while.

However, as the power of the "star" becomes stronger, it will cause harm to the human body. In the past few years, a powerful jounin in their star ninja village caused the chakra activity to exceed the limit of the human body because of the power of the "star". It caused the flesh and blood to atrophy and died. Since then, he has completely banned the method of using the power of the "star" to become stronger.

Even the ninjas may die suddenly after being in contact with the 'star' for a long time, let alone the new generation of young ninjas in the village.

For this reason, the power of ninjas in Star Ninja Village weakened sharply, and they withdrew from the big stage of the ninja world.

This is also a strategy of last resort. Compared with becoming stronger for a while, focusing on the future of the village is what Xingying should consider.

"how so?"

"When I was young, I was exposed to 'stars' for too long, which is probably the bane left over from that time."

Sandai Xingying smiled wryly. As a ninja, his aptitude is actually very ordinary.

However, with the help of the 'star', the chakra in the body can be rapidly strengthened. At that time, he tried his best to integrate the power of the 'star' into his body, so that his strength surpassed all the jounin in the village at that time.

Now as he grows older, his body has already been infiltrated by the heterogeneous energy of the 'star', which is riddled with holes.

Every day and every night, I have to endure unimaginable pain.

This is the price of using crooked ways to become stronger.

"Is there no cure?"

"It's useless, Xia Ri. Doesn't the death of your husband Yinghuo prove everything? A body that has been corroded by 'stars' cannot be cured by medical ninjutsu."

The star ninja village girl Shangren named Xia Ri was slightly silent when she heard these words, and clenched her fists slightly.

A few years ago, her husband was the star ninja Murakami Shinobi who was too exposed to the power of the 'star', causing his flesh and blood to decay and shrink to death.

He was supposed to be the next successor of Hoshikage, and he was trusted by everyone in Hoshino Village.

It was also because of the bad influence of this incident that the third generation of Xingying made up his mind to prohibit all ninjas in Xingren Village from contacting the 'star'.

Today's 'star' has been sealed by three generations of Xingying, refusing anyone to touch it.

"I get it, but you still have to be careful with the rest of the village. I've noticed something that's not quite right in the village recently."

Xia Ri sighed, and then said with a serious expression on his face.

"Do you mean Red Star?"

The third generation Xingying seems to know who Xia Ri said to be careful.

Hong Xing is one of the best ninjas in Star Ninja Village today, and he is also an excellent ninja who has cultivated the village's secret art, the Peacock Art, to a very high level.

But in his eyes, Sandai Xingying only saw ambition and strength.

Therefore, the other party mentioned more than once at the high-level meeting of Star Ninja Village within this year that they hoped to remove the seal on 'Star' and let all ninjas in Star Ninja Village ask for power from 'Star' again.

However, this proposal was rejected by the third generation Xingying.

Because as Xingying, you can't only care about the immediate interests, and ignore the life and death of the next generation of young people in the village, let them also become sacrifices to the 'star'.

The 'star' can bring powerful power, but at the same time it becomes stronger, the closer it is to death.

This kind of tragedy, Sandai Xingying does not want to appear in Xingren Village again.

There have been too many tragedies in these years because of the 'star'.

Especially an ambitious jonin like Red Star, an existence that must be guarded against.

"Yes, as far as I know, he seems to be with..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Master Xingying, please see me on Red Star."

A star ninja guard who led the way outside said.

Three generations of Xingying and Xia Ri looked at each other, Xia Ri nodded in understanding, disappeared from the ground with the instant body technique, hid in the corner of the room, and held her breath.

Three generations of Xingying saw Xia Ri hid her body, and shouted to the door: "Let him in."

The door was opened, and a male star Shinobu about thirty years old walked in.

Her long purple hair was **** with a headband, her icy blue eyes did not fluctuate at all, looking a bit serious and cold.

"Master Xingying."

Jonin Red Star knelt on the ground on one knee, his tone was not cold.

"Is there a problem?"

"The subordinates came here this time because of the 'star'. I hope Master Xingying can unblock the existence of the 'star'. Only in this way can the Star Ninja Village become stronger."

Red Star's tone was light.

"Didn't I already tell you about this? Excessive exposure to 'stars' can cause harm to the human body. That's how Hotaru Jominin died that year."

Red Star's expression remained unchanged and he said, "I'm very sorry about what happened to Yinghuo Jonin, but the current international situation is very complicated, and it's hard to say when there will be a war."

"You are too unreasonable to worry about the sky. What benefits can attacking the country of bears bring to those big countries?"

Three generations of Xingying said.

In this matter, the third generation Xingying still has self-knowledge.

The vegetation in the Land of Bears is sparse, and most of the areas are poor environments of barren mountains and wild lands.

"This can't be used as a reason not to make progress. Since you blocked the 'Star', the strength of the ninjas in the village has declined seriously. I am very worried about whether the younger generation of ninjas will be able to take on great responsibilities in the future."

"I've already said this, I won't unblock 'Star'. If you came here for this kind of thing, you can go back."

"..."

Hong Xing raised his head and stared at Sandai Xingying with ice-blue pupils that lacked emotion.

"Is there anything else, Red Star Jonin?"

After the third generation of Xingying finished speaking, he immediately coughed violently, and a weak breath came to his face.

Xia Ri, who peeked at all this from the corner, couldn't help becoming nervous.

If Red Star attacked at this time, things would be bad.

However, she obviously thought too much.

After hearing the cough of the third generation Xingying, Hongxing lowered his head again, showing a respectful attitude.

"Let's not mention the matter of 'star' for the time being. The financial budget in recent years has been extremely poor, and important facilities such as ninja schools need to be refurbished. There are also hospitals, and it is imminent to train medical ninjas. Although the medical equipment in the ghost country is of excellent quality, but The relative price is also very high, and there are also various types of medicines to be purchased. Given the current financial situation of the village, I am afraid..."

Hongxing turned to talking about the construction of the village.

This question also stung the heart of the third generation Xingying.

As Xingying, he naturally understands this kind of thing.

Star ninja village is not like those big ninja villages in Konoha, where people often entrust tasks.

Star Ninja Village has only dozens of entrusted tasks in a year, and in order to win over those employers, the remuneration charged each time is very low.

Even so, not many people went to Star Ninja Village to issue tasks.

The task market has long been monopolized by Konoha and other Da Ninja villages.

In Xiaoguo Ningcun Village, you can only scratch the edges and corners, and it is very difficult to support your family.

The livelihood of the village often depends on hunting in the forest.

"I'll figure it out about this."

Three generations of Xingying said tiredly.

"any solution?"

Red Star asked a question.

Seeing Hong Xing's reluctance, Sandai Xingying also felt very helpless, so he had no choice but to reply: "I will report this matter to the daiming."

"Are you going to tell the daimyo..."

Hong Xing lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth, as if mocking something.

If it is useful to report the daimyo, Xingren Village will not live a life of poverty and poverty for so many years.

"Red Hoshi Jonin, are you dissatisfied with my Xingying?"

Sandai Xingying asked, staring at Hongxing.

"No, not at all. I have always admired Master Xingying. But in the past, in order to become stronger, I traveled to various countries. Konoha and the Land of Fire left a very deep impression on me."

Red Star responded like this.

"..."

The third generation Xingying's face was slightly ugly.

Red Star seemed to have not seen the ugly face of the third generation Xingying, and continued: "It is really like a paradise on earth, with a rich life, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Every ninja in Konoha is full of confidence and strength. .With all due respect, if this continues, we will not be able to catch up with Konoha even in another hundred years."

"Then what are you... cough cough!"

The words were too hasty, and the third generation Xingying coughed again.

"The only chance to catch up with the country of fire and Konoha is right in front of you. That is to use the 'star', let the 'star' reshape every ninja in the village, and double their strength. Ten years later , Star Ninja Village can stand on the top of the ninja world, and let the ninjas of the five major countries bow their heads to us!"

Hong Xing's tone was firm, and the ambition in his eyes flickered uncontrollably.

"Enough! Red Star Jonin, your thinking is too dangerous! Moreover, the five major countries are far from as simple as you think."

Three generations of Xingying couldn't help scolding.

"But if you don't do this, Star Ninja Village will not be able to be strong. If you want to continue to live the life of a human being, why can't you fight hard? In this world, the most important thing is human life! Including my life!"

Hongxing refuted the point of view of the third generation of Xingying.

Unlike the three generations of Xingying, he still has his own ideals and goals to strive for.

A ninja without ideals is not worthy of being an excellent ninja.

"Your ambition is too great. I won't unblock 'Xing'. You should die of this, Red Star Jonin."

Three generations of Xingying were unmoved.

All he saw was the ambition far beyond ordinary people in Hongxing's eyes, which frightened him.

Hong Xing suddenly sighed, thinking about going out the door.

When he was about to step through the door, Hongxing turned his head and said to the third generation of Xingying:

"Master Xingying, a ninja without ambition can't achieve great things, and can't make a village or a country stronger. You are already old, it's better to decide on the next generation of Xingying as soon as possible."

Hong Xing walked out, that figure was aloof and somewhat rebellious.

A look of worry appeared on Sandai Xingying's face. In fact, he hoped that Red Star would sneak up on him just now. In this way, he would have a reason to take him down in one fell swoop with the secretive Xia Ri.

The most frightening thing about Red Star is not his ambition to compete with the five major powers, but his forbearance beyond ordinary people.

"Master Xingying, Red Star..."

Xia Ri came out from the darkness.

There was also concern on her face, Hong Xing's attitude just now was definitely not joking, the other party was planning something in secret.

"Be careful of what Red Star does in the future."

"yes."

"The future of Star Ninja Village is up to you, Xia Ri."

Three generations of Xingyingyu said earnestly.

"Master Xingying!"

What else did Xia Ri say, Three Generations Xingying interrupted:

"There's no need to refuse. I'm almost unable to hold back Hong Xing. He will definitely attack 'Xing'... Now only you in the village can stop his ambition."

"I see."

Xia Ri's eyes are full of firmness.

"The next step is to send envoys to the daimyo. I hope that the budget increase proposal can be passed. Those nobles are not easy to deal with..."

Three generations of Xingying sighed helplessly.

Why doesn't he want to develop the Xing Ninja Village, but the power of the "star" will cause great harm to the young people in the village, and the daimyo seems to have other ideas, which makes him unpredictable.

But the most important thing right now is to hope that the daimyo can help out and renovate the buildings in Hoshinin Village.

"How is it? Master Xingying agrees?"

Go back to your own residence.

There are already two people waiting for him there.

When the two stars saw Red Star coming back, they immediately stepped forward to ask how the situation was.

"Still the same, do not agree to unblock 'Star'."

Hong Xing sat down and answered their questions.

These two people are his partners, and they are also the top ninjas of Xingnin Village, namely Nighthawk and Shibu.

Nighthawk is a rather tough-looking bald man.

The city burial is a man with black hair and a sinister face.

Hearing what Hong Xing said, Ye Ying and Shi Zang couldn't help but look disappointed.

When the strength has reached their level, only by using the power of the 'star' can they become stronger again and overcome barriers.

With the three generations of Xingying sealing the 'star' for a while, the strength of the two of them has not increased for a long time.

For ninjas like them who are eager to become stronger, 'Star' is a drug that they can't help but drink even though they know it is a deadly poison.

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the two of them was completely within Hong Xing's expectations.

In fact, this is the kind of result he expected.

"The first option is not feasible. Looking at it now, we have to adopt the second option."

Red Star said.

"Option 2? Are you really going to do that?"

Nighthawk and City Burial couldn't help but shudder. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Because the second plan is too risky, and if you are a little careless, not only Xingnin Village, but Xiong Zhiguo will also...

The two dare not think about it anymore.

Hong Xing's icy blue pupils stared at the two, as if there was some kind of warning.

"At times like this, don't pretend to be high-spirited. At this point, it will be too late for the two of you to get off the boat. We are grasshoppers on the same rope."

The faces of Ye Ying and City Burial changed, and they nodded.

Indeed, at this point, it is too late to repent.

"Then, I'll leave the matter of Xingren Village to you. Help me cover up my whereabouts so that no one will see the flaws. I'm going to meet the daimyo in person to confirm to what extent the plan over there has progressed."

The corner of Hong Xing's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
