The next day, after a night's rest, Shen left the hotel in high spirits and bought a map before leaving.
It has been a few days since Chen went to Hoshi Village, but this matter hasn't spread in the Shinobi World, because the ninjas of Hoshi Village have been ordered by their Fourth Hokage Xia Rixing to not mention it to outsiders, so no one knows about it except the people of Hoshi Village.
On this day, in Konoha's Hokage's office, Konoha's Fifth Hokage Tsunade was frowning at the letter in her hand thinking about something.
Seeing Tsunade's expression, Shizune, who was Konoha's Hokage's assistant, was also very curious about the contents of the letter in Tsunade's hand. She couldn't help but ask, "Tsunade-sama, whose letter is this? What's going on? "
Tsunade didn't answer Shizune's question but handed the letter in her hand to her. Shizune quickly stretched out her hands and took it in front of her to read the contents of the letter.
Soon, Shizune finished reading all the contents of the letter in her hand, showing a surprised expression, and asked Tsunade doubtfully, "Tsunade-sama, is this a secret letter sent by Hoshi Village?"
"Yes, this letter was sent by the Fourth Hoshi of Hoshi Village."
"Hoshi Village? Wait a minute … "Shizune didn't know much about Hoshi Village and quickly went to the bookshelf piled with various documents to look for it. It didn't take long for her to find a folder, and then she looked through it.
"Oh, I found it! Hoshi Village is a ninja village located in the country of Bear. There is a meteorite in the village that fell two hundred years ago, so the village is called "Hoshi Ninja Village." The ninjas in the village will practice around the meteorite because the meteorite is radioactive and reacts to Chakra. Hoshi Ninja is good at "Peacock Technique," which can make Chakra into various shapes to attack and even fly. "
"Well, the first Hoshi Kage, they all called the leader of the village that way. The first Hoshi Kage found that if he practiced with Hoshi, he could increase the power of Chakra. Since then, Hoshi Village has a place in the Ninja World. "
"However, it is recorded in the document that this practice has been stopped for about ten years." Shizune looked at the document in her hand and said.
"It was the third Star Shadow who banned cultivation. About a year ago, after the third Star Shadow passed away, cultivation resumed."
"But why is cultivation prohibited?" Jingyin asked in confusion because the document did not state the reason.
"Who knows, this is probably the top secret of Star Village. However, there are many rumors … "
"Rumors?"
"Yes! Rumor had it that most of the people who had used the "star" to cultivate had died. Obtaining power from an unknown "star" to force the strengthening of Chakra may have side effects on the human body. "
"Suga! I see! "
"The letter sent by Hoshi village said that a few days ago, a ninja broke into their village and killed many ninjas of Hoshi village, including their representative Hoshi, and took away the sacred object passed down from generation to generation in Hoshi village, that is, the meteorite called" Star ". What's more important is that Hoshi Shinobi found out that the ninja had a Sharingan. The whole ninja world knows that the Sharingan is the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha Clan of Konoha. That's why the Fourth Hoshi sent this letter, hoping that Konoha will give them an explanation. "
"Are you sure it's the Sharingan?"
"This is what the fourth Hoshi saw with his own eyes, so it should be true."
"Sharingan … Only Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Sasuke have Sharingan in this world! Kakashi doesn't have this possibility, so only Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke are left. Who could it be? "
"I don't know yet."
"Then what should we do? Should we sit back and do nothing, or should we send someone over? "
"This may be the doing of Konoha's Shinobi. If we don't do anything, it will inevitably be gossiped about, which is very bad for the village's reputation. Moreover, that person is likely to be Uchiha Sasuke, so we have to send someone over to investigate. "
"Then who is Tsunade-sama going to send?"
"Well … You go and call Guy's Third Team over!" Tsunade thought for a moment and ordered Shizune.
"I understand." After Shizune put down the documents in her hand, she walked out of the Hokage Office to gather the members of Third Team.
It didn't take long for Third Team's Neji, Rock Lee, and Tian Tian to come to the Hokage Office, and then Tsunade issued a task to them, appointing Neji as the leader of the team to investigate Hoshi. Naruto learned about Hoshi from Sakura, and he was also very curious about the "Star" of Hoshi. After learning that Third Team was going to Hoshi for a mission, he also wanted to join in the fun. He went to the Hokage Office and bribed Tsunade with a box of Lamb Soup Rolls in exchange for the opportunity to go with Third Team.
"Naruto, I'm the leader of this mission, so you have to listen to me no matter what, understand?" Before leaving, Neji specifically explained to Naruto.
"I know, I know, let's go!" Naruto didn't take Neji's words to heart at all, but urged Neji to hurry up, and took the lead in the direction of the Country of Bear.
"Really …" Neji had no choice but to let him go, and called Lee and Tian Tian to follow him.
After a long journey, they finally came to the forest outside Hoshi and were about to reach Hoshi. Naruto and several members of Third Team jumped quickly in the woods.
"We'll be there soon. There will be a dangerous area before entering the village. From now on, I'll be the vanguard." Neji, who had the Byakugan, said to Naruto and the others.
"Understood!"
Soon, the four of them came to the natural barrier of Hoshi, the valley filled with yellow poisonous fog.
"Hey! After crossing this valley, we'll reach Hoshi, Yoshi! " Looking at the valley in front of him, Naruto didn't notice anything wrong. Before Neji and the others could react, he ran directly down the cliff.
"It's dangerous, come back!" Seeing Naruto running directly to the valley filled with poisonous fog, Neji shouted anxiously. He wanted to stop Naruto, but it was too late. Naruto ran far away and didn't hear what he said.
Just as Naruto was about to approach the poisonous fog, several arrows were shot from the other side of the valley and nailed in front of Naruto, stopping him. Naruto was shocked and quickly stepped on the arrows and jumped back to the edge of the cliff.
"Naruto, are you okay?" After seeing Naruto jump back to the cliff, Neji and the others came to Naruto and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, everyone be careful, there's an enemy!" Naruto said to Neji and the others while looking across the valley vigilantly.
At this moment, a man wearing a gas mask and holding a crossbow appeared on the opposite side of the valley. The man aimed the crossbow in his hand at a big tree next to Naruto and shot an arrow tied with a rope. The arrow was nailed to the big tree, then he ran along the rope and quickly came to Naruto and the others.
"Damn, are you the one who just attacked me? Take this! " Naruto shouted, then took out two kunai and was about to throw it at the man, but he was interrupted by Neji.
"Stop, Naruto! He's not an enemy. "
"But, he just attacked me!"
At this time, the man with the gas mask took off the gas mask on his face. It was Ang, who was previously held hostage by Shen in exchange for Hoshi's Star!
"Hmph! Konoha's Ninja? I'm a Ninja from Hoshi Village. My name is Ang. I'm here to greet you. "Ang said to Naruto and the others, but his tone was not friendly. Hoshi Village has always rejected outsiders. A few days ago, Hoshi Village was attacked and suffered heavy casualties. The culprit seemed to be related to Konoha's Uchiha, so he didn't treat Konoha's people well.
"Then why did you attack me?" Naruto shouted at Ang.
"He saved you just now. Look!" Neji pointed to a bird flying towards the poisonous fog and said to Naruto. The bird flapped its wings twice and fell after touching the poisonous fog.
"This is?" Seeing this scene, Naruto was startled and looked at Neji in surprise.
"Hoshi's border has always been surrounded by poisonous fog. It's a natural barrier to prevent other countries from invading. The dangerous area I just mentioned refers to here."
"Great, Naruto. Ang is your savior. It's also the beginning of the beautiful friendship between Konoha and Hoshi. Hahahaha …" Lee on the side laughed heartily.
"Don't joke around!" Naruto looked at Lee, who was laughing, and complained.
"It seems that I'm nosy. You don't even want to thank me? Ah! Forget it. Hoshi sama has been waiting for a long time. Come with me to the village first! " After saying this, Ang ignored Naruto's reaction and took the lead to jump on the previous rope and walked towards the opposite valley.
"This guy …" Naruto looked at Ang's back and said unhappily.
"Okay, don't say so much. Let's keep up!" Neji said, and then everyone jumped on the rope and walked towards the opposite side.
Naruto and the others followed behind Ang and soon arrived at Hoshi Village.
