I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Danger!

The Third Hoshikage reacted quickly and dodged to the other side.

Just as Nono's hand was about to miss, suddenly, the chakra technique gathered in her palm grew a bit more and touched the Third Hoshikage's shoulder.

He groaned.

Although there were no visible marks on the shoulder touched by the chakra scalpel, the Third Hoshikage's face showed signs of pain.

Because the muscles in his shoulder were severed, his arm immediately lost its strength.

They moved quickly with their feet.

Nonou relentlessly pursued the Third Hoshikage, giving him no chance to catch his breath, and unleashed another palm strike.

boom! ! !

The chakra was withdrawn, and although the Third Hoshikage had lost an arm, he did not lose his ability to fight.

As Nono attacked again, he roared and unleashed his chakra, transforming it into a fist that slammed towards Nono.

Frowning slightly.

With a quick movement, Nono dodged the incoming fist with lightning-fast reflexes and exquisite martial arts skills, and then attacked the Third Hoshikage again.

Faced with the dangerous chakra scalpel, the Third Hokage could only retreat step by step, despite constantly unleashing his chakra.

The Third Hoshikage's strength can be said to have reached the level of a Jonin.

But Nono is clearly more impressive.

As a character who was able to create a great reputation in the original storyline, and who, even after leaving the Root organization in some way, was still remembered by Danzo, who tried every means to bring him back into the organization, Nono's excellence is self-evident.

Even though she is more skilled in medical ninjutsu and has not yet reached her full potential, her strength is still among the top tier of the four captains of the Root organization.

To put it bluntly, someone like Nono would be considered a high-quality talent in any organization.

Nonou battles against the Third Hoshikage, and Wolf battles against Natsumi Hoshi.

Rain then fought against the remaining Star Ninja.

Leaving aside Nono and Wolf, it was clear that Rain alone could not stop all the Star Ninjas. So, during the battle, several Star Ninjas quickly broke through Rain's blockade and rushed towards Naraku.

"go to hell!!!"

They might be holding a kunai (a type of halberd) or performing the "Peacock Technique."

Several Star Ninjas rushed over and launched attacks on Naraku.

Crackle!

Naraku didn't even lower his arms, which were crossed over his chest, and calmly unleashed a torrent of violent lightning with his "Thunderstorm Stream".

Whether it was the kunai that was shot at them or the chakra tentacles that attacked, they were all blasted away and scattered by the violent lightning, which then easily swallowed up several approaching Star Ninja.

However, Naraku still had some control over his abilities.

The lightning only stunned a few Star Ninjas; it did not kill them.

"Let's give them a little intimidation!"

Although the battle is progressing in a positive direction, the gap between the two sides is not significant enough that even if they win in the end, it may not be enough to make the people of Xingnin Village submit and obey.

In response, Naraku slowly lowered his hands.

Lightning Release: Lightning Body!

With his body crackling with lightning, Naraku instantly transformed into a streak of lightning and shot out.

thunderbolt!

At an incredibly high speed, Naraku swiftly swept past the remaining Star Ninjas, and with each passing moment, the Star Ninjas fell to the ground screaming as if struck by a heavy blow.

brush!

Xia Rixing, who was fighting the wolf with the "Peacock Technique", only felt a blur before her eyes. The next second, Naraku, who had rushed in front of her, casually punched her in the abdomen.

As if her whole body had been split open, the intense pain made Xia Rixing open her eyes wide and kneel on the ground with a face full of pain.

After instantly defeating Natsumi, Naraku quickly arrived at the location where Nono and the Third Hoshikage were fighting.

As if in a flash, before the Third Hokage could react, Naraku also landed a punch on his opponent's abdomen.

Bang! !

The immense force caused the Third Hoshikage to kneel on the ground in pain, instantly losing his ability to fight.

When Nono was slightly taken aback to see Naraku suddenly appear and defeat the Third Hoshikage, she immediately dispersed the chakra in her hand.

“My name is Naraku. Now you have lost. From this day forward, I will be in charge of Hoshigakure. If you disobey me, this is the consequence you will have to bear.”

Looking down at the Third Hoshikage, Naraku used his toes to hook the other's chin, making him look up at him, and then suddenly leaped up.

"Thunder Magic - Heaven-Shattering Thunder!"

He leaped into the sky, circulated his true energy, and gathered lightning bolts that were far more terrifying than the use of chakra. He was then blasted away by Naraku's punch.

Boom! ! !

The lightning bolt, several meters in diameter, fell like a dazzling meteor to the distant earth.

The next second, a deafening explosion erupted.

The intense light emitted from the explosion was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

The earth shook violently, billowing dust swirled and churned, and in the distance, the earth instantly collapsed, creating a massive crater resembling a meteorite impact.

Even on the surface of the deep pit, the soil showed signs of crystallization.

As for the cracks, they were even more exaggerated, extending in all directions, with the longest stretching for hundreds of meters.

The shockwave from the explosion swept through like a whirlwind, sending many Star Ninja flying.

The Third Hoshikage also endured the pain and quickly grabbed the ground to resist the shockwave.

Even after the shockwave dissipated, when the Third Hoshikage looked at the huge crater in the distance, he was completely stunned.

It wasn't just the three generations of stars who were stagnant.

When Nono, Ame, and Ryu saw the terrifying destructive power of Naraku's punch, they were all stunned.

Although the three had anticipated that Naraku's strength would be extremely powerful, they clearly hadn't expected that Naraku's actual attack would bring such an astonishing scene.

"Sir, this is the 'Star,' a treasure passed down through generations in our village. It is also an indispensable medium for us to cultivate the 'Peacock Mystic Technique'!"

In addition to the houses scattered throughout the Star Ninja Village, there is also a large crater formed by a meteorite impact in the center.

At this moment, inside the shrine at the center of the pit, the Third Hoshikage was respectfully introducing the 'star' held aloft by the claws of an unknown beast on the stone platform to Naraku.

Chapter 38 Manipulating the Daimyo

Before the war.

The Third Hoshikage displayed great courage, stating that he would rather die than yield.

But when harsh reality strikes, so-called courage naturally becomes a matter of the heart.

Especially when he witnessed Naraku's use of true energy to unleash "Thunder Technique: Heaven-Shattering Thunder," the "Thunder Technique: Heaven-Shattering Thunder" not only destroyed the earth but also shattered the Third Hoshikage's psychological defenses, leaving him with no thought of resistance.

He himself might not be afraid of death, but how could he possibly drag the entire village down with him?

Beside him, Naraku observed the 'star' before him with great interest.

In appearance, 'Star' is a spherical stone with an uneven surface, and it also emits purple energy that can be seen with the naked eye.

"My lord, I must remind you that although 'Star' has brought us the Peacock Technique, it is itself very dangerous."

Once the energy it emits is absorbed, it will have adverse side effects on the human body, and in severe cases, it may even cause serious physical collapse.

In fact, I even considered sealing the 'star' away.

Seeing Naraku scrutinizing 'Star', the Third Hoshikage hesitated for a moment before offering a reminder.

His reminder was certainly not out of concern for Naraku.

He was just afraid that if he didn't warn Naraku, Naraku would take his anger out on him and even the entire Star Village once he discovered the danger of 'Star'.

"Alright, you can leave now. Don't forget to cooperate. In three days, I hope to see an obedient Star Ninja Village. Otherwise, I don't need to elaborate on the consequences," Naraku said, glancing sideways at the other party and waving his hand.

"Yes, I understand!" The Third Hoshikage sighed inwardly, but outwardly he could only respectfully retreat.

After the Third Hoshikage left, Naraku continued to examine 'Hoshi'.

"It seems this really is just a rather unusual meteorite, not the fragment of the divine tree that I suspected in my previous life!"

He activated his divine sense to perceive the 'star', and after a careful examination, Naraku stroked his chin.

Under the probing of divine sense, 'Star' had no other special characteristics other than emitting aggressive energy.

This clearly proves that the inference about the fragments of the divine tree is wrong.

Naraku was slightly disappointed by this.

After all, the Divine Tree is the ultimate power in this world, and it is definitely of great research value.
