Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 293 The Land of Bears, Star Ninja Village

The Land of Bears, one of the many small countries in the ninja world, is located to the west of Amegakure, sandwiched between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, and exists as a buffer zone.

In the Land of Bears, there is a ninja village called Hoshigakure (Star Ninja Village), whose leader calls himself Hoshikage (Star Shadow).

That's right, it's the one who calls himself the Shadow!

This means that Hoshikage is determined to make Hoshigakure the sixth great ninja village... just like the demigod Hanzo back then.

In fact, Hoshikage was also a little panicked. Although the Land of Bears was closed off from the outside world and Hoshigakure didn't know much about the outside world, he wasn't completely oblivious to the situation in the ninja world and knew that the ninja world was in some danger.

The Third Hokage feared that one day the five great ninja villages would hear of the Hokage's title and come to the Land of Bears to have a serious talk with them.

After all, times have changed.

The Hidden Cloud Village invaded the Hidden Sky Village, the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Stone Village invaded the Hidden Waterfall Village, and the Hidden Mist Village invaded the Hidden Grass Village...

Isn't that enough to illustrate the point?

But Hoshigakure was also lucky, as the Land of Bears was full of poisonous creatures and had little value.

The Star Ninjas rarely ventured out, resulting in a lack of presence in the ninja world, allowing them to continue living peacefully.

This allowed the Third Hoshikage to breathe a long sigh of relief, calming his panicked heart considerably.

However, Hoshigakure also has some commendable techniques, such as the Peacock Technique, which allows chakra to be transformed into various shapes for attacks, and even for flight. It is a highly practical secret technique.

There are also stars that can stimulate the body and increase chakra, but they have significant side effects and can lead to death.

It can be said that the entire Star Ninja Village endured pain and risked their lives to cultivate using the Star!

Therefore, after realizing the seriousness of the matter, the Third Hokage ordered a halt to the practice of focusing on cultivation.

In the temple that preserves the star.

Xia Rixing asked, "Lord Xingying, are you really sure?"

The Third Hoshinobi sighed and shook his head helplessly, "The success rate of using stars for cultivation is extremely low; only one or two out of ten people succeed."

"Those who fail in their cultivation will die a painful death as their internal organs are eroded."

"Even if you successfully use the Star Chakra, one day in the future, you will be corrupted by this special chakra, leading to internal organ failure..."

The Third Hoshikage touched his heart, feeling its increasingly weak heartbeat.

"That's why the population of Hoshigakure is dwindling..."

Firefly nodded in deep agreement, "That's right. I'm increasingly feeling the damage to my body as I use Star Cultivation. I'm really worried that I won't be able to hold on until Smaru grows up."

Summer Star gently held Firefly's hand and comforted her, "Everything will be over, and Smaru will not follow our path."

Firefly smiled too. "That's right, it's all over."

The use of stars for training was forbidden by the Third Hokage, but this move angered many star ninjas.

The most severe cases were among Red Star, Night Hawk, and Death Burial.

After all, once you've experienced the feeling of getting something for nothing, it's hard to shake it off. Is there anything easier than simply sitting next to a star and increasing your chakra?

As for the aftereffects, that's because their bodies already had problems, not because of Xing. Otherwise, how come we're all fine?

However, due to the insistence of the third generation of Hoshikage, Hoshikage was still discontinued.

This also caused some chaos.

"The Third Hokage has actually forbidden the use of stars for training! Doesn't he know that stars are our foundation?!" Akahiko said angrily to the many Hokage.

"Stars are a treasure bestowed upon us by heaven! Even if there are some minor side effects, they can be overcome! The use of stars should absolutely not be banned because of this!"

"Yes, it must be that the Third Generation Star Shadow only wants to embezzle it and only allows himself to cultivate using the power of the stars!" Night Hawk and Death Chapter chimed in from the side.

The surrounding Star Ninjas were affected and all showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

Akahoshi nodded in satisfaction as he watched the Hoshikage's performance. According to his plan, he would first incite everyone's discontent, then eliminate the Third Hoshikage, and finally seize power to become the next Hoshikage.

In this way, I can freely use stars for cultivation.

Akahoshi imagined that wonderful future.

……

At the same time, in the Poison Gas Canyon, the natural barrier protecting Xingren Village, an extremely agile and swift figure suddenly flashed by.

"Once we cross this poisonous canyon, we'll reach the Star Ninja Village..."

A tall figure, his body muscular like a meticulously sculpted statue, yet radiating a blood-red glow, spoke calmly.

The ultimate life form—Kars—has returned!

With the help of Shiichi's improved technology, Kars became even more powerful!

"If Hoshi really is the remains of the Ten-Tails, then I cannot give up. The matter of the Ten-Tails' remains is too complex; you cannot handle it."

After flying from the sky to the ground, the black-robed Kaz retracted his wings.

"This is Hoshigakure (Star Ninja Village). Let me see where the stars are."

Kars, clad in black, transformed his fingers into insects and flew towards the Star Village.

Temple.

"Red Star, Night Hawk, Death Burial, what are you doing here?" the Third Hoshikage asked in confusion.

Red Star, Night Hawk, and Death Burial bowed respectfully, their eyes darting greedily towards Star before they spoke:

"Lord Xingying, we've come to discuss with you whether we can resume using stars for cultivation. Only powerful forces can protect the village, and while some casualties are necessary to gain that power, it's worth it."

Hearing Akahoshi's words, the Third Hoshikage turned his back, stared at Hoshi, and said helplessly:

"I also want to use stars for cultivation, but this isn't just about paying some casualties; it's about damaging the very foundation of the village."

"If this continues, it might not be long before Hoshigakure destroys itself because of the stars..."

Red Star, Night Hawk, and Death Burial exchanged glances, their eyes filled with increasingly fierce intent.

"Those three generations of Star Shadow Lords, we can select a group of people to cultivate with stars. For example, we will all voluntarily use stars to cultivate and gain power to protect the village!"

The Third Hoshikage, still with his back turned, said softly, "Stars bring misfortune; they are ominous. We cannot let them harm the village any further..."

As Akahoshi watched the Third Hoshikage's retreating figure, anger rose in his heart and evil thoughts took hold, so he directly stabbed him in the back!

"You...you guys!" The Third Hoshikage roared in fury, clutching his bleeding chest.

"Old man, we can't just stand by and watch you squander such precious resources!"

Red Star, Night Hawk, and Death Burial joined forces and quickly killed the old and frail Third Star Shadow, who was suffering from the backlash of the stars.

However, the three of them did not notice that an insect flew in while they were fighting the Third Hoshikage, then picked up Hoshikage and flew away.

The Third Hoshikage did notice, but remained silent.

In any case, it's better than the star falling into the hands of those three traitors!

"Hahaha... With the old man dead, the village is ours! We can do whatever we want!" Akahoshi looked at the corpse of the Third Hoshikage and laughed wildly.

"Yes, yes, you can cultivate freely even if you're a star!" Night Hawk and Death Burial chimed in.

"Hahaha!!!"

The three of them burst into joyful laughter at the same time, like conspirators who had succeeded in their scheme.

However, when Akahoshi looked at the star's location, she found it empty, and her smile froze on her face.

Night Hawk and Death Burial also noticed something was wrong, and their laughter stopped abruptly.

Can someone tell me why Xing has disappeared?

It was just here a moment ago!

I'm such a big star!

The cheerful atmosphere between the three suddenly became tense!
