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

"If it's not, it's not. Although it's not a fragment of the Divine Tree, this thing still has considerable research value." Naraku reached out and took 'Star' from the beast's claw.

Undeniably, the value of a 'star' is quite considerable, as it can materialize chakra.

Naraku was also very curious about this.

He attempted to refine chakra and then absorbed the energy emitted by the 'star'.

The divine sense perceives the changes in chakra.

With his keen senses, Naraku quickly discovered that as he absorbed the energy of the 'star,' his chakra was gradually becoming more refined.

No.

Not only is the chakra changing, but the energy of the 'star' is also permeating the body through the chakra.

Such infiltration will allow the energy absorber to still extract mutated chakra when refining chakra in the future.

Of course, just like the people of Hoshinobi Village.

Absorbing the energy of the 'star' comes at a price.

While chakra is being refined, the body is also being eroded.

The process is very similar to when Naraku took the forbidden drug, using his life force to unlock his potential.

Realizing that his body was being eroded by the 'star', Naraku's eyes narrowed, and he immediately circulated his true energy to sweep over his entire body.

In an instant, the damage caused by the erosion was suppressed and healed.

"My true energy can cure the side effects caused by 'Star,' which means I can absorb 'Star's' energy harmlessly."

Naraku couldn't help but chuckle when he discovered that his true energy had a restraining effect on 'stars'.

It's truly as if even God is on his side.

The Peacock Technique can be considered an excellent secret art; its only drawback is the erosion caused by the 'star'.

He can now completely resolve this shortcoming, which will undoubtedly make the "Peacock Magic Method" flawless.

In other words, he can now fully promote the "Peacock Technique" within the Star Ninja Village, thereby developing his power more quickly and effectively.

Naraku mainly provided military intimidation for the incorporation of Hoshinin Village, while he entrusted the actual operations entirely to Nonou.

Nonou clearly did not disappoint him.

three days later.

"The total population of Xingnin Village is 532, with 93 ninjas in total, including 23 genin, 69 chunin, and 1 jonin."

Inside the room that originally belonged to the Third Hoshikage, Naraku sat cross-legged on a futon, with Nono, Ame, Wolf, and the Third Hoshikage standing opposite him.

Nonou is reporting on the situation of Hoshinin Village based on the statistics.

From her report, it is easy to tell that Hoshigakure is exactly the size of a small ninja village, with a very small population and number of ninjas.

"The number and strength of ninjas need to be increased as soon as possible, and I have just figured out a way to suppress the side effects of 'Star'."

Rain and Wolf, you two need to do your job. Go find the daimyo of the Bear Country, take him into custody, and then arrange for eligible people to be sent to the village.

"Hoshikage, you are in charge of teaching the 'Peacock Technique.' You must ensure that the village's current ninjas quickly improve their mastery of it."

After the report was finished, Naraku began to make arrangements.

For example, Rain and Wolf, he actually sent the two of them to control the daimyo of the Bear Country.

In this world, the power structure is highly contradictory.

Despite possessing extraordinary martial prowess, ninjas are often subject to the control of daimyo, who are essentially just ordinary people.

Even for ninja forces like the Five Great Ninja Villages, the replacement of a Kage requires the approval of the Daimyo of the country to be granted.

Therefore, it is absolutely taboo for ninjas to try to control a daimyo.

Similarly, many ninjas held the daimyo in high esteem.

However, it is clear that Naraku does not belong to this category.

Even before he awakened his memories of his past life, he was the kind of person who was incredibly audacious and completely indifferent to the daimyo.

Even more so now.

In his eyes, a great name was merely a tool to be used.

Let's talk about rain and wolves.

Although the two were surprised that Naraku had asked them to take control of the daimyo of the Land of Bears, they did not object and immediately accepted the task.

They are now rogue ninjas, and in an extremely serious way.

In such circumstances, many ideas will naturally change.

"My lord, have you really figured out a way to suppress the side effects of 'Star'?" On the other side, the Third Hoshikage, who had also been given the same assignment, looked at Naraku in shock.

"Why don't you try and see!" Naraku beckoned to the other person, drawing them to his side.

When the Third Hoshikage rushed forward and knelt on the floor, not daring to look down at Naraku, Naraku reached out and pressed his hand on the other's head.

The true energy was activated and instantly entered the opponent's body.

Chapter 39 Ideas on Weapon Forging

The third-generation Star Shadow has cultivated the "Peacock Mystic Technique" for many years. Although he is still alive and well because of his good physique, his body has undoubtedly been greatly eroded by the "star".

When Naraku cleansed the opponent's body with his true energy, the damage caused by the corruption immediately began to subside.

The Third Hoshikage trembled, keenly sensing the changes in his body.

As soon as Naraku removed his hand, the Third Hoshikage burst into tears of joy and slammed his head heavily onto the floor.

"My lord, I beg you to heal the injuries inflicted by 'Star' on the other villagers. I swear here that I will follow you to the death!" the Third Star Shadow shouted.

“Yes, I accept your loyalty.” Naraku nodded slightly.

The superiority of the "Peacock Magic" makes it extremely suitable for developing power.

Since he has chosen to promote it comprehensively, he will naturally not leave any hidden dangers.

Under Naraku's arrangement, Rain and Wolf wasted no time and left Hoshigakure that very day, heading to the capital of the Land of Bears.

Here in Xingren Village.

Nonou began mobilizing the village's civilians to make arrangements for expanding the village's size in preparation for the upcoming population explosion.

Naraku had no free time either.

While dedicating a large number of true energy shadow clones to their training, they also dealt with the damage caused by the 'stars' for the Star Ninjas.

"grown ups!"

After the third generation of Star Shadow, the first one to be assigned was Summer Star.

Inside the room, looking at Naraku sitting cross-legged at the top, Natsumi bowed very awkwardly, and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions when she looked at Naraku.

no way.

To the people of Hoshigakure, Naraku was undoubtedly an invader.

If Naraku hadn't displayed unparalleled military might, the people of Hoshigakure wouldn't be behaving so obediently.

Of course, that was before.

When the Third Hokage, acting as a spokesperson, informed the people of Hoshigakure that Naraku had mastered a way to suppress the side effects of 'Star' and was willing to cure them, many people in Hoshigakure immediately began to change their attitudes.

Like a summer star.

Originally resentful of Naraku's invasion of the village, her resentment has now lessened considerably, and she has even developed a kind of admiration that she herself does not understand.

The strong are respected.

This principle applies everywhere.

To Xia Rixing, Naraku was undoubtedly a powerful figure.

Especially when this strong person is not only powerful but also has an outstanding appearance, women are more likely to feel admiration for them.

“Xia Rixing, I heard from Xingying that you are the second most proficient person in the village in the ‘Peacock Technique’ after him. He even described you as a genius that Xingnen Village has only seen once in a hundred years. Therefore, I hope that you will not disappoint me in the future, and may even become my right-hand man.” Naraku looked Xia Rixing up and down and said.

Based on his performance in the original storyline, Xia Rixing is indeed a genius.

As for geniuses, Naraku would naturally pay more attention to them.

"Yes, Your subordinate will certainly not disappoint you!" Seeing that the man in front of her seemed to value her highly, Xia Rixing's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously knelt on one knee to express her respect.

"Very well, let's begin!" Naraku smiled slightly and gestured for the other party to come forward.

When Xia Rixing came over, Naraku also reached out and pressed his hand on the other person's head after the other person knelt down.

Inject your true energy into the other person's body.

With the extraordinary restorative power brought by the nameless technique, Naraku could cleanse the opponent's body of its depletion without any worries.

With wave after wave of cleansing, the erosion of Summer Star by 'Star' was quickly and completely eliminated.

"Alright, from now on you can freely use the 'star' to cultivate the 'Peacock Technique,' because I will be your strongest support." Naraku, having completed the elimination, moved his hand to the other's shoulder and said gently.

Xia Rixing looked up and saw Naraku's gentle expression and expectant gaze. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will work hard to become stronger and strive to become your right-hand man as soon as possible."
