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

Naraku didn't have to put in much effort; he easily found the group being escorted by Iwa ninjas halfway through the journey.

Naraku didn't even need to lift a finger; Xia Rixing easily dealt with the escorting Iwa ninja on her own.

Afterwards, Naraku still used shadow clones to collect the valuables and transported them away using the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

Although one person was missing, Naraku was undoubtedly the core of this raid.

With the convenience of his shadow clones, Naraku easily took over Sasori's job and continued his raids.

The itinerant looting led to the fall of town after town.

In less than a week, Naraku had already amassed a huge fortune.

Even though this wealth will need to be shared with the Hidden Cloud Village in the future, it will be enough for the Hidden Star Village to develop well for a long time without other income.

Naraku's gains are a loss for the Land of Earth.

With numerous wealthy individuals and nobles being robbed, even the Daimyo of the Land of Earth began to feel uneasy, sending stern warnings to Iwagakure that the culprits must be apprehended as soon as possible.

Under the pressure from the daimyo, Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) certainly dared not slacken its

Within the Bear Kingdom, two figures darted swiftly through the dense forest.

"Onoki is really getting worse as he gets older. He clearly wants to kill the enemy, but now he's sending us to deal with their ninja village, yet he's telling us to control our strength. I think the village will decline sooner or later under Onoki's leadership." One of them complained, looking annoyed, as they walked forward.

The man was dressed in purple clothes and a breastplate, and his hair was tied back in a small ponytail. He was a short, middle-aged man with a large beard.

If Naraku were to see this person at this moment, he would immediately recognize that this short, middle-aged man is Rōshi, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki of Iwagakure.

As for the person traveling with Rōshi at this moment, he was an old acquaintance, none other than Han, the Five-Tails Jinchūriki who had his right arm cut off by Naraku and was later redeemed by Iwagakure.

Hearing Lao Zi's complaint, Han glanced at him.

"Old Zi, you have underestimated your opponent this time. Naraku is far more terrifying than you think."

Compared to Lao Zi's displeasure, Han's attitude was much better.

This is not only because the two have different personalities, but also because he has personally experienced the horror of Naraku.

On the battlefield, Iwagakure not only needs to face Kumogakure, but also needs sufficient troops to defend against Konoha and Sunagakure.

In these two battlefields, the people stationed by Iwagakure Village were the two Jinchūriki, Rōshi and Han, respectively.

Among them, Rōshi was in charge of the battlefield against Konoha in the Land of Grass.

Han was in charge of the battlefield against Sunagakure in the Land of Birds.

But at this very moment, Old Purple and Han left the battlefield and were on their way to the Star Village.

Faced with Naraku's rampant plundering, Onoki, unable to stop Naraku, had no choice but to use the Star Village to coerce Naraku into leaving the Land of Earth.

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal, and it certainly wouldn't upset Lao Zi.

The key point is that when Onoki sent orders to Rōshi and Han to go to Hoshigakure, he specifically instructed the two to control their strength when attacking Hoshigakure.

In other words, it means that only a portion of the people in the Star Ninja Village can be killed, and the village cannot be truly destroyed.

This is where Lao Zi's dissatisfaction stems from.

In his view, the enemy had already plundered their own rear, yet they still showed mercy, which was utterly shameful.

If outsiders knew this, it would be as if the Hidden Stone Village was afraid of Naraku.

Unlike Lao Zi's displeasure, Han was quite understanding.

Because he knew very well how terrifying Naraku was.

What makes Naraku so terrifying is not only his strength, but also his chilling assassination abilities.

Like Hiruzen Sarutobi.

As the village's leader, he was silently assassinated within the village by Naraku.

With Naraku's terrifying assassination skills.

If the Star Ninja Village were truly destroyed, it would be tantamount to unleashing a terrifying demon.

Han Guangguang felt a chill run down his spine just from imagining it.

Before they eliminated Naraku first, Hoshigakure was not a threat to Iwagakure, but rather their protective shield.

Otherwise, not only would the people of Iwagakure not be able to sleep peacefully, but the entire Land of Earth would probably be unable to do so.

As for Han, Lao Zi also gave him a sidelong glance.

His gaze involuntarily fell on the other person's shoulder, where the right arm had been lost.

"Alright, I won't say anything more." Old Zi's gaze was quickly withdrawn, and he naturally shifted his gaze back to what was in front of him.

He was not unaware of Naraku's danger.

Although he had never actually fought Naraku, the fact that Han was a living example was enough for him to understand how powerful Naraku was.

The power levels of the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails are roughly the same.

It's not a perfect Jinchūriki either.

Lao Zi and Han were naturally evenly matched in strength.

When Han faced Naraku, he not only had his right arm cut off, but also became a prisoner.

If it were Old Purple instead, the situation would obviously not change much.

Therefore, Han alone was enough to make Lao Zi wary of Naraku.

His criticisms were actually mostly directed at Onoki.

Just like in the original story, Rōshi eventually fell out with Ōnoki and left Iwagakure to become a wandering monk.

At this point in time, Old Purple was already dissatisfied with Ōnoki.

He believed that Onoki was too old and decaying to remain in the position of Tsuchikage, and that the village needed a more dynamic new leader.

Seeing that Old Purple seemed to be only complaining and did not really look down on Naraku, Han felt much more at ease.

Immediately, the two stopped talking and sped off towards Xingren Village.

Ga da~

As its tentacles moved, they made a faint sound against the branches.

Unbeknownst to Lao Zi and Han, purple scorpions were silently watching them from time to time, whether on the ground or on tree branches.

Han and Lao Zi moved very quickly. After passing through the Land of Birds and entering the Land of Bears, the two of them were already very close to the Star Village in a short time.

Swipe!

From movement to stillness.

Just as Han and Lao Zi were less than a few kilometers away from Xingren Village, the two suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"Two people from Iwagakure, if it's possible, could you please leave Kuma Country?"

Not far from Han and Lao Zi, two figures had clearly been waiting for a long time.

When Han and Lao Zi stopped, Nono, with a gentle smile on her face, spoke to them.

Beside her was a scorpion.

Through Hiruko, Scorpion coldly stared at Han and Lao Zi opposite him.

As expected, since they couldn't do anything to their leader, Iwagakure turned their attention to Hoshigakure.

"Two Jinchūriki, it looks like this is going to be a tough battle."

Scorpion sized up Han and Lao Zi, thinking to himself.

Needless to say, I'm already familiar with Han.

As for Rōshi, although each village would keep a close watch on the Jinchūriki, it was obviously unrealistic to completely block information.

Unless they are newly born Jinchūriki, the identities of Jinchūriki are already well-known to the outside world for figures like Rōshi and Han who have already made a name for themselves.

Although Iwagakure only deployed two people to target Hoshigakure, the danger posed by Han and Roshi as Jinchūriki was clearly enough to threaten the survival of Hoshigakure.

Chapter 99 The Battle of Division

"nonsense!"

Nono's attitude was very gentle, but the meaning behind her words was very clear.

Lao Zi and Han naturally couldn't leave. Lao Zi, for example, just sneered and rushed forward.

Han remained silent, but immediately followed Lao Zi's lead.

brush!

The scroll was thrown out, and the Third Kazekage immediately flew out from it.

The moment Old Purple and Han stepped forward, Sasori decisively manipulated the Third Kazekage to intercept them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

Countless poison needles shot out from the left side of the Third Kazekage's abdomen with great force and speed.
